and Kay Campbell West did not want to lead from a long ami headed by the tog Generally a passive defense John Root said he supported the Progressive Conservative party because its basic policy is to create a climate for people industry and business to plan their own affairs and expect a reasonable return for their labor professional services and on their investment Sitting member of the laturc for Wellington Duffcrin Mr Root was speaking to approximately people who attended the nominating convention in Arthur last where he was chosen to represent the C party again Tory policies Root said were responsible for Ontario population growing from four million to During the same period Saskatchewan elected a Socialist government and was the only province In Canada where the population dropped He said the economy stagnated people left by the thousands Ontario prosocrous Root said that while was stagnating the reverse was happening in Ontario under PC policies the population was growing by millions and half the new industries and new Canadians locating Canada were coming to Ontario the key stone in the arch of Confederation which supplies nearly half the national budget Recognizing that costs of education had gone up Root also asked the audience to consider that the school population of the province had risen per cent requiring new places in public and secondary schools as well as new universities and junior colleges Teachers had to be trained and their salaries had to compete with industry He said that in the long pull if the province can move the two million students into the income- paying bracket from the welfare bracket two objectives would be achieved broadening the tax base for necessary revenues and reducing the cost of welfare Referring to Agriculture the speaker pointed out the province paid hall the cost of rural power lines and equalized the rate the province paid per cent of the farmers municipal tax made capital grints available and stimulated lines of business catering to the farmer Reduce tax burden Many government policies reduced the tax burden on property such as unconditional municipal grants he claimed noting the province provided tax relief for needy pensioners He pointed out the province pays the full cost of ad ministration of Justice municipal road subsidies ranging from to per cent and miles of development road in Wellington had 100 per cent of construction costs paid One riding had been rebuilt and paved and miles of municipal roads Board chairman Dr of said the premier statement was un acceptable and educationally unsound Incomprehensible We are extremely appointed he said Complete statement Full text of the board press release follows Is regrettable that the for completion based on educational and pedagogical grounds by the elected repre sentatives of the Catholic com munity of Ontario on behalf of the 000 children entrusted to their charge was answered by a statement that reflected little thought to this end The decision to maintain this arbitrary cutoff half way through a secondary program Is Incomprehensible in a continuous and integrated process of education How does a Separate Board sensibly plan and develop a auricular learning experience Integrated with the students needs and progress when it is denied the admlnls power over the lost one sixth of the program The slogan of the government Educational Opportunity is rightly chosen However is this opportunity now not to be given to one third of the elementary had been taken into the highway population of Ontario system It is unfortunate

gobbler I have heard that eating oats too last will make him sick He well fed and is not thin Why does he do this Answer Most horses bolt their grain It Is like dessert to them the ring You hold the end of the rope while standing near to the pole The colt will pull but cannot get away because of the extra tension However the colt only sees you with the rope so you get all the credit for mastering him One lesson should be enough but I Feed him his hay about 10 would suggest using a chain lead minutes before his grain to take the edge off his appetite Put corncobs or rocks in his manger to slow down grain consumption Feed a small amount of oats three or four times a day rather than all at once This may not improve his table manners but It will help to prevent colic Question My stud colt has been weaned and is being halter broken He la very strong and drags me around a lot I am and am not strong enough to hold him What can 1 do Answer Don t use brawn use brain A horse t too small despite the romanticism of the old movies You need a strong halter good rope and a strong snubbing pole or ring set In the stone wall of a barn Halter the colt and run the lead rope twice around the pole or through with the chain part under his chin from cheek strap to cheek strap This Is for extra control while you lead him Question Is there any way to lengthen a horse stride at the walk Answer Yes Give the horse lots of road work at a good brisk walk While walking nudge his elbow as he puts that foreleg out with your toe You are in effect pushing his leg out After a while the rolling motion of your body as you use alternate legs to push his legs forward will be enough to him He will walk faster as he walks toward home Encourage this and praise him Please send your questions to Jennifer Rock wood
