Ont. Provincial Gov. Should Be Planning For Future Reeve Alfred Le Masurier, of Mark- ham Township, knows that Markham is the next area to be covered by the 'Toronto development "steam rollet. The township has one of Ontario's richest farm land. Reeve LeMasurier believes that Ons tario should think twice befare allow- ing these food-producing acres to he lost to agriculture, At ane recent Planning Board meet- ing, Markham had 23 sub.dividers seeking approval far housing develop- ments, . : has been holding up mass housing pro- jects, but realizes they are bound to come, The same situation faces many of Ontario's hest farming townships. Ontarlo has only a certain amount of first grade farm land, and it-is time the Province adopted some plan to keep it producing food, Reeve Le Masurier feels. Super-highways, housing, industrial plants and municipal services around dozens of growing cities, power devel- opments like the St, Lawrence project, all are eating up farm land at an alarming rate, he thinks, He points out that only a very limited amount of new farm lands be- ing brought into production in On- tario, to feed an ever-increasing pop- ulation, and says Ontario needs the fertile Markham---farms,--developed---a century ago by Mennonite and Pen- nsylvania Dutch settlers, and since Reeve LeMasurier is not a farmer himself. He is in the wholesale paper business, Land unsuited for farming like the eroded sand hills of Whitchurch town. ship, or less arable parts of Markham, Uxbridge, Vaughan and King town- chips should be considered first for urban development, and there should be a Provincial plan to make sure this. is done, the Markham regve feels. Many Ontario groups and individ- uals have already expressed the same anxiety, Mast powerful of these is the Ontario. Federation of Agriculture, which has. spoken atrongly for con- servation of goad agricultural land, although its members, the Provinces farmers, ave the ones who make big money when their farms are subdivid- od, : . 'Also concerned is a committee of Niagara peninsula fruit growers and the Ontario Conservation Council. ° V. S. Milburn, secretary-manager of the Ontario Federation of Agri- culture, says high food prices are a definite prospect if agricultural land continues to diminish. Ontario last year, had a food deficit--it produced less than its requirements. Shipping food from other provinces means freight charges, additional storage and handling charges, all added to the retail price, he says. : (Article taken Tribune.) from Stouffville Canada's apple crop this year 'Is now estimated at 129% larger than last year. If Canadians would eat 129, more apples it might also im- -prove-their-health to that extent, too, as there is no fruit on the market to- day that contains as many health carefully conserved by their families, building ingredients as the apple. Letter to the Editor: Dear Sir: : . In a very few days the citizens of remember the dead of two World Wars sible, by displaying a poppy wreath In places of business, churches, schools, and in the windows of their homes, I know that in the minds: of - some people the annual Poppy Campaign is charitable appeals, and the question is often asked, why should not the Poppy Fund, which is one campaign, be a part of the Community Chest, which is many campaigns. I would indeed be gratefu), Mr. Editor, for the fur« ther space necessary to answer this question. Let us go back first of all to the years between 1914 and 1918 when Canada' was engaged in the First World War. There are names that I would like to bring to your memory out of that conflict. Do you remember Ypres, Passchen- daele, Vimy, Ridge, Saint Julien, the Somme? In World War II have Or- tona, Falaise, Dieppe, any signitic- faded from the consciousness of all but sonal meaning? If. these names mean anything to- you, then the Poppy Fund will be for you much more than just another is two-fold in its purpose, and the most important of these is the Leg- fon's self-imposed duty of ensuring that every Canadian wears a poppy, or displays a poppy wreath on Re- membrance Day, thereby participating in the Act of Remembrance, and help- ing to call to the mind of every citizen the thought that the price of our free- dom was sacrifice. Canadian men of indomitable spirit and courage shed their blood and gave their lives on foreign battlefields for one purpose alone, For no matter how clouded the side issues might be there can be no doubt that the only reason for making sacrifices of this magnt- tude is the preservation of the kind of freedom we enjoy in this country. Canada asks very little in the way of sacrifice from its ordinary citizens, . We, of The Canadian Legion, and the many other organizations united with us in this Campaign, ask that you give to the Poppy Fund as much as you can spare and wear your poppy proud- ly so that all Canadians may give to-the high-cost of freedom: Fah Yours sincerely, Chairman-of Poppy Fund.
