For most Ontario centres the per capita grants are based on the popula: tion shown in the 1951 census, but Bowmanville qualifies to use its most recent figures since its population has increased by more than 7 per cent since the 1951 census, Municipalities In this catego¥y are allowed to use there most recent figure as the basis case Is 5,873, Population in 1952 was 5,430, . The per capita grant system was authorized for 1954 at the 1953 ses- sion of the Ontario Legislature, and replaces the conditional fire and po- lice grants received during 1953.. Last year Bowmanville received only $4,208 in police and fire grants, so the town this year will receive $6.979 more than under the old system, - The-new grants range from $4 per capita for metropolitan munieipali- ties and cities over 750,000 down to $1.60 per capita for towns and town- ships having a population of 2,000 and under. ; In all Ontario, grants under the old system amounted to some $5,000,000 in 1963, compared with the $11,800,- 161 under the new per capita system.

The water supply, if the proposal is endorsed at the public meeting, sub- ject of course, to further negotiations, through the Public Utility Commis- sion, which has advised the township that it si willing to supply treated water at an estimated rate of fifty cents per thousand gallons with _a minimum and present maximum of 125,000 gallons per day, at town-pres- sure, at the town line, at the third concession, and that additional water can be supplied when available at-a rate to be negotiated. The Commis- sion acted on the advice of its con- sulting engineers, Gore and Storrie. Last week a conference was held be- tween the Commission, township, of- ficials of Meadowcrest Homes Limited and the engineers, and another con- posal of Meadowecrest Homes Limited is to build 6000 modern homes in the village on the Vipond farm property purchased several months ago, and on which a model house is now being erected. 2] Invited to the public meeting are ratepayers owning property or resid- ing in or near the village of Brook- lin and adjacent to No. 2 highway be- tween Whitby and Brooklin, Officers of the housing development scheme will be on hand to give information required and will be prepared to an- swer questions.

Clipped Comments MUNICIPALITIES NOT LIABLE FOR ICE STREET ACCCIDENTS An important eourt decision affect- ing the responsibilities of municipali- '| ties, has been handed down by the Ontario Appeal Court. It has to do with the responsibility of municipali- ties for damages in the event of ac- cidents being caused by icy streets in It has been generally ac- cepted that civic bodies were respons- ible to some extent for such damages, but the new ruling handed down : changes that principle somewhat radi- cally. The case in point was that of an ,| automobile accident which occurred --{on a hill in Scarborough Township in December, 1961. One car came down the hill, and skidded into a ditch. A second car did likewise, collided with the first car, and injured it- driver. "|'When the case camé into the courts, the presiding judge, trying the case without a jury, assessed damages at $7,428, and 'apportioned them 85 per cent against the municipal corporation and 16 per. cent against the driver of the second car, On the case coming before the On- tario Appeal Court, however, that de- cision was reversed. The presiding justices ruled that corporations could uot be held liable for such accidents during extreme weather conditions when it is impossible to get sanding trucks into operation. . The action against the township was therefore dismissed, and the whole of the dam- ages assessed against the driver of the second car. This decision, as we have said, is important to municipalities. [It cer- tainly narrows down the degree of their responsibility for damages in the case of similar accidents. It may be possible, too, that the same prin- ciple might be applied in the case of accidents to pedestrians. It is going to be much more difficult, in any-event for accident victims to secure dam- ages from a municipal corporation for accidents caused by icy public thor- oughfares.--Oshawa Times. CHECK-OFF, A FORM OF EXTORTION We agree with John Atkins of The -| Rural Scene when he says he emphati- cally disagrees with those who say that the check-off of union dues is a matter for collective bargaining. It ix nothing of the sort, The check-off is an arrangement between an employer and a union by which the employer is bound to with- hold a portion of his employees' wages and turn the money over to the union as dues for the workers from whom it was seized. ies, We know of no law that would just- ify such withholdings; and in our opinion the only reason the unions can get away. with it is the fear that makes the worker submit in silence rather than resist the demand of the union bosses. We are thankful that the Ministers of Labor, both federal and provincial, | have refused the union demands for legal recognition of the check-off; and we hope they will soon feel them- selves strong enough to denounce it as a form of extortion and a violation of the laws of this country. -- Canadian Statesman THERE'S GOOD 'SAMARITANS AMONG YOUTHFUL DRIVERS TOO! It was getting dusk as we sped along the highway in the belief that our car lights were on and function- ing properly. Rounding a curve we noticed the driver ahead signalling us down and pulled up a car length or so ahead. It developed that the lights which were thought to be work- ing okay weren't and the youthful driver who had signalled us to stop went out of his way to be helpful. He quickly located the offending con- nection in the light circuit and spared us unnecessary delay and probable difficulty. This youthful driver did something wise actions of some younger drivers else too--he made us wonder if the un- had not caused youthful car operators as a whole to be unfairly maligned. He proved that all good Samaritans were not confined to the older age groups and stirred in us feelings of deep gratitude. : : We wondered why it wouldn't b practical and helpful in promoting better drivng habits generally, to in- troduce some scheme whereby good road manners would be rewarded in some suitable way. Is it not reason- able to assume that such a plan would contribute at least as much (and pro- bably more) to encouraging better driving habits as penalizing violators of the highway laws? --Lindsay Post. Of Many Things by Ambrose Hills THE PRICE OF WHEAT-- . I have a daily newspaper beside me on my desk, and it carries a big head- line, For anyone who stops to think a moment, the headline is sheer fool- ishness. It reads: "Government slashes the price of wheat." How long are we going to fool our- selves. © The government in reality, can neither cut the price of wheat nor boost it. That is done today as it has always been done.in the past--by the consumer. Until somebody can get a corner on every fertile acre of land, everywhere in the world, the customer will continue to set the price of wheat. Y In the very next paragraph of the newspaper story, some politician sug- gests that Mr. Howe should get an airplane and fly to Europe to-drut up some markets for wheat. Mr. Howe is a mighty clever and important man, but that's some assignment! It's almost as ridiculous as asking him to fly to the North Pole and do something about the cold weather, The sooner we get over this notion that somebody in Ottawa can solve our buying and selling problems, the bet- ter off we'll be. Whether it's a crop of wheat, a subscription to the local weekly paper, or a seat in a theatre, you have to make the customer want it and you have to offer it at a price the customer is willing to pay. I 'don't think very many people realize what serious trouble we are heading for, Farmers are just not going to be able to go on paying sky- high prices for their trucks and trac- tors, steel roofs for their barn, pre- mium prices for almost everything they buy. City workers in manu- facturing plants-and in every industry which supplies the farmer, are certain- ly going to have to adjust their wage demands or the farmer will not "be able to buy the. manufactured pro- ducts and we'll run into old situations where we have poverty in the midst of plenty. Then there'll be all sorts of wild and fancy schemes dreamed up to "cure" the situation, Most of these schemes will be just as silly as the ones which have already caused the situation we are facing! After we have all had a darn good spanking by the facts of life, we'll come back-to earth and- start selling our products and our labour at prices which our neighbours can afford to pay. ~The worst of this situation/is that the farmer is the first to take 'the licking, and he takes it for the long- cst period of time. True, he has been, to some extent, to blame. He should have learned long ago that Ottawa cannot keep his prices unrealistically ers should have been fighting to make city people understand that the price of manufactured products should bear some reasonable relationship to the price ofgwheat; that the farmer's hour of labour must be traded for the city worker's hour of labour, : Instead of doing that, too many or- ganized farm groups have encouraged city workers to keep grubbing more and more. Farmers should remember that most wheat buyers live overseas and they don't get that kind of money. Farmers should get together now and démand tax relief, sharp reduction in welfare © spending, realistic labor policies. If they don't, we'll all be in the soup. Tourists Demand Nature Unspoiled On visits longer than 48 hours, Americans spend an average of $53 on their Canadian trips, while Cana- dians crossing the U.S. border aver- age $856. The Canadian Forestry As- sociation points out that the most sub- stantial. American expenditures are made by those coming to Canada for lengthy summer residence and for fishing and hunting, At times a single U.S. hunting party will spend more cash within Canadian borders than an entire train-load of one-day excursionists. The Association calls attention to the -fact that Canada's lakes, rivers and forests, with the sport of hunting and fishing, account for the largest and most dependable outlays by Amer- ican visitors. The reputation of Can- ada as a place of unspoiled natural beauty draws the main bulk of 're- peaters' and long-term summer re- sidents. = These advantages, however, are quickly cancelled by the outlook of forest fires which burn the country- side into a forbidding wilderness. Each year, the heads of the Federal and Provincial tourist bureaus issue pub- lic warnings that forest fives may be classified as one of the chief detr- rents -of the. tourist dollar. About 807% of such fires, says the Canadian Forestry Association, are set loose by u careless public, unwilling to apply two minutes of precaution to save an evergreen paradise from a shambles of stumps and ashes. q Mex Siomen!

Owner Make Championship Combination 'Whenever a cow makes a great pro- duction record experienced dairymen are inclined to give almost as much credit to the handler as to the cow. They realize. the skilled . care and patient management that go into such achievement. This is particularly true in the case of Fayne Pietje Keyes a champion Holstein who became so accustomed to the ministration of her awner J, H. (Jim) Cookson, of Osha- wa, Ontario, that she would let no one else milk her. Fayne and Jim made such a success- ful team that for twelve straight lactations they poured forth the milk to such good effect that when Fayne's latest record was finished she had to her eredit thie largest lifetime milking record and second largest lifetime fat However, her glory was short lived for a piece of wire in her lung brought about her end shortly after she had given birth to her thirteen calf and was starting away again on what pro- mised to be another great record. In her twelve lactations on official Record of Performance test Fayne produced a total of 215,841 Ibs, milk containing 8163 Ibs. fat average but- terfat test 3.78. Her milk produc tion is the equivalent of 86,336 qts. Throughout her lifetime she was milked twiee daily with the exception of 336 days when she was milked three times daily. Seven of her re- cords were made in the 305 day division and 5 in the 365 day division. Fayne's largest individual record was made as an cleven-yvear-old when in 305 days on twice-a-day milking she gave a total of 21138 lbs. milk containing 813 Ibs. fat, She followed this up with a 305 day record as a twelve-year-old on thive-times-a-day milking of 21906 Ibs. milk containing 810 Ibs. fat and a 305 day record on twice a day milking as a thirteen- year-old of 17302 1bs. containing 620 Ibs, fat. Her latest lactation as a fourteenzyear-old was made in 365 produced 776 lbs. fat from 19666 lbs. milk.
