Jack: Price of Cobourg, nominated Liberal Candidate for Provincial election. "I want to speak to you about the Government that is now in power, First, I want to discuss with you the question that is prominently be- fore us, namely, the question of un- employment. In 1945, at the conclusion of the war, our Federal Government, with great foresight, called a meeting of ments, and one of the important sub- jects discussed at that meeting was the question of unemployment and the need of the Provinces to be prepared to face the problem. As you know, the British North Anterica Act divides the responsibility of Government and in some cases the responsibilities, as defined by the Act, are the same for both the Provinces and the Dominion, so that it has be- come necessary to avoid a duplication of taxation in certain fields, for the Provincial and the Federal Govern- ments to agree that the Federal Gov- ernment shall accept certain taxation fields solely and that in return they will contribute to the Province an an- nual sum, The Federal Government at that time offered to pay the cost of unemployment relief in return for the Province vacating certain taxation fields. Mr. Drew walked out of that meeting. In 1952, our present Proniier, the Honourable Leslie Frost, came to an agreement with the Federal Govern- ment but the terms were varied from the proposals made in 1945 because our present Government was still not interested with the question of un! employment but rather it was inter- 2sted in receiving greater financial benefits from our [Federal Govern- ment. 'Now, what happens when the people are up ih arms about unem- ployment? Premier Frost says he is ready to talk with the Federal Gov- ernment on the basis of the 1945 pro- posals. There can be no better proof that the Provincial Government has not been concerned with the question of unemployment in any way, shape, tor form until now, when it is being .| dropped, oe only given sixteen days to submit their tenders? The election of the Con- servative Government was paramount to the public interest, The majority report of the select eommittee has pointed out that there was little or no supervision from the head office of the Department of Highways in Toronto on this project. Our leader, Mr, Oliver, demanded that a-Royal Commission should be appointed to investigate the whole highway situation because it | was discovered that oné fraud led to another and discrepancies arose in the Huntsville area as well a8 in the Lake- head area but the Premier did not want an impartial Royal Commission, He appointed a select committee made up of eight members of bi own party and three opposition mémbers to in- vestigate the fraud of his own Govern- ment. Surely it was injthe interests of that committee to protect them- selves, and protect the Government they did. At the preliminary hearing of three convicted companies, one of the wit- nesses admitted they charged for rock when all that was removed was dirt and he believed that was an accepted practise, Contractors were paid on the basis of a certificate signed by the divisional engineer and other Govern- ment officers and finally by the Com- troller of) the Treasury. These cer- tificates were made out monthly, It was fieely admitted by the Com- troller in the preliminary hearings that no check was made to sce that the work was done or the material sup- plied. When they came to trial the charge of: conspiracy to defraud were which of necessity would have involved Government officers be- cause it takes: more than one to have conspiracy. Unquestionably the char- ges were withdrawn in return for a plea of guilty by the Companies. I think that if we had access" to the vaults in the Parliament Buildings in Toronto, we would find where the-re- sponsibility for the highway frauds lies. There is a reinetit involved that, to me, is more serious 'than this criti- ¢ism that I have made of the Con- servative Government and that is our attitude, as a people, toward these defalcations, . W.M.S. faced with the possibility 'of being; , ousted out of power and will be ousted , out of power. | Second, I want to speak to you * about a matter-that is vital to all of, - us--the question of Provincial grants and Municipal grants. In the last ten years when the Con- | .servative Government has been in power, you and I know and it is a fact that municipal taxes have in- creased and multiplied three times. | That is the average for the Province. | At the same time the Municipal levies for education in places like Colborne and 'Port Perry, my home town, have trebled. The Provincial Government grants for education have increased but not in propdrtion. The Provincial , Government grants for education in the last ten years have been reduced, ! from forty-threa per cent-to thirty-! four per cent of the actual cost of education in the Municipalities and; | | | costs in education represent the big- gest single item of our tax bill. In that same period of time the Provin- 'cial Government has collected, in an- nual revenue, more than three times as much as when they went into power in 1943. Within the last year they. recovered in taxes over three hundred and seventy million dollars. When they went into power in 1943 the an- | nual Provincial Government revenue! was. about one hundred and twenty million dollars. In this fast-growing and wealthy province, the 'Frost Government has not introduced a single piece of pro- pressive legislation. At least a dozen of his ministers were appointed by his predecessor in office. The big question that has been in the papers and that I would like to review for you, is the question of high- ways scandal, rightly called by the newspapers "the worst scandal in Can- adian 'Government history". The Conservative Government is seeking to minimize it but let me review the facts voted as a start towards this project. for you. One of the adnfitted reasons that made the frauds possible was lack of pre-engineering, Is it not evident that there could be little or no pre- engineering for the contracts on this' highway when the contractors were ! day, you and I know that these increased |, The Afternoon Auxiliary of the Wo: ; man's Missionary Society met Tues- March. 8th at the home of the President, Mrs. Leask, with 45 ladies' few girl friends to her birthday party present.

Two Caesarea Men Drowned as Car Plunged through ice on Lake Scugog Two Caesarea men, Earl Thomas Burr, 81, and Fred Frayer, 51, were drowned in Lake Scugog last Sunday afternoon when their car broke through the ice, and plunged into deep water about 500 feet from shore. A companion, John Neill, 88, also of Caesarea, managed to escape from the car as it was going through the ice, and scrambled to safety after making a desperate effort to save Burr. According to information given to the police, the men had driven out over Lake Scugog, and stopped the car to give Neill"s dog a run on the ice. When the dog, a collie, tired, they returned to the car, and started back to Caesarea. They had gone only a short distance when the car went into a crevice in the ice, and slid down into the water. Fred Frayer was driving the car, and Neill was in the front seat with him. As the car was going down, Neill, according to police, crawled over into the back seat, and shoved Burr out of the car, then climbed out himself. Frayer, and the dog, went down with the car. Burr, however, slid into the water, and in spite of the efforts of Neill, who tried to hold him out, he slipped out of Neill's grasp, and went down in about 20 feet of water. Frayer, who is the owner of Fray- er's pavilion and boathouse at Caes- area, was very familiar with the lake, and used to boast that he 3 the back of his hand. George Blyth, Cacsarea storekeeper, said that in some places the ice was 18 inches thick, and was considered safe, Frayer and Burr, he said, had made a trip over the same area on Saturday with a load of logs.

Club Work is a supplementary training, not a sub- stitute for formal education. "Learning to do by doing" is a basic principle 6f 4-H Club Work, and its most important feature is that the members underake practical farm or home projects. A sense of responsi- bility, a stimulation of interest and a desire for more information regard- ing better husbandry practices are concrete results of this training. The keeping of records of production costs develops an appreciation of farm and home management problems, Achieve- ment Days or Club Ssows afford the members an opportunity to compare the results of their work with those of ohers and to demonstrate their ac- complishments to the public. Judging | and other forms of competition help to develop self-reliance, good sports- manship and the powers of observa- tion and judgment. What better training could we have for the future farmers of this county? Why no let your son and your daugh- ter take advantage of this opportun- ity. Last year in Ontario County 375 boys and Zits t took part in 4-H Club projects. - All those interested in taking part in 4-H Club Work in 1955 should for- ward their name and address to the Ontario Department of Agriculture, Uxbridge, as soon as possible.
