something is done to enable the farmer to pro duce greater quantities of food shortages are going to increase tre mendously deputy reeve charles ii hooper of markham told york county council in a discussion of the agricutural committees report when a manufacturer does not get his cost and sufficiently lare plus he simply closes down and ceases production that is happen ing on the farm to some extent but it must be kept in mind that while the manufacturer can start his plant running again overnight a long period of time is required to put the farms in running order again once they stop producing he warnned council adopted a clause in the report calling on the government to insist that the packing houses be compelled to pay prices for the various grades of beef on the basis of the ceiling price set by the war time prices and trade board ottawa is worrying about the consumer but does not seem to care what becomes of the farmer mr hooper said warden j s osborne of east gwillimbury declared that there was no stability to the price of nol steers if this class of steer is worth 1775 a hundredweight today it is worth the same price to-mor- the market is not flooded on we went off and we had no the eighth night we saw we had no water when food there was no rain until nothing in the way of searching planes or ships the little boy in my iboat had an issue bible in the pocket of his jump er and the second day out we organized prayer meetings in the evening and morning and took turn about reading pass ages from the bible and frankly and humbly we prayed for our deliverance within an hour after one prayer meeting a sea gull came and landed on my head here was both im mediate food and the bait for catching fish life was sus tained from an interview with captain eddie riokenbacker s after rescue of himself and companions for 1943 faith is the substance of things hoped for the evi dence of things not seen heb 111 illl 1 it ill im ii bring we have a weapon not possessed by our enemies faith it is stronger than tanks and planes and guns and human venom it is an invincible force requiring no vast plants no camps no reserves of material armament it needs no intricate fabrication no stockpiles behind the lines faith is within us a godgiven power against which no peril of darkness may long prevail from every quarter of the embattled globe where we fight come stories of this beautiful spiritual faith a tough corporal in a mortar pit on guadalcanal with his wounded around him prayed for a solid hour when a relentless foe showered death around them there are no atheists in foxholes has become a tradition from north africa comes the story that the top gunner of a british bomber was sitting on the floor reading his bible they hold it in their souls these fighting men if history teaches anything it is that no nation is great and no nation is strong unless its people are imbued with faith a righteous faith 1943 therefore sets up as its standard on the fighting fronts at home this undefeatable weapon divine faith any one day to such an extent that a reduction of 50 cents in the price of cattle is warranted he said council commended the govern ment for maintaining the restric tions on the manufacture of oleo margarine this provoked an out burst from reeve w a armstrong of etobicoke who claimed that this was prelection for a small group i come from a country where children are brought up on this pro duct at a time when there is a critical shortage of butter why should we do something to block a move some of the pressure he asked there is little likelihood of there being very much of this pro duct manufactured in canada be cause of the lack of vegetable oils reeve r w scott of vaughan township told council the danger is that once the bars are let down they may not be re placed because of the lack of oils it is not likely that the manufacture would do much to relieve the short age of butter mr hooper explain ed the provincial government was also asked to give further considera tion to the enforcement of potato grading i cannot see why the farmer must ask the government to make them produce a better article sure ly you have the remedy in your own hands lf you produce a better article your market is there reeve arm strong said council called the attention of the national selective service to the critical shortage of farm labor due to the high wages paid by industry which puts them in an advantageous position in competing for labor in the open market boundary bridges were designated as part of the county road system and placed under the control of the toronto and york iroads commis sion they had previously been under the control of the warden and commissioners but a ruling from county solicitor j d lucas to the effect that under the highway improvement act they could now be directed by the commission led to council taking this action york county tax rate slightly lower 10000 for aid to russia fund york countys tax rate for gen eral purposes was set at 360 mills a reduction of 70 mills over last year by york county council in session yesterday the budget provides for an ex penditure of g16215of which 72- 150 will come from revenue accounts and including 30000 from surplus account and the remainder will be raised by levy on the component municipalities in the county during the period from 1933 to the end of 1942 the total equalized assessment of the county has in creased 214 per cent while the net debenture debt has been reduced 4sc4 per cent for the past 10 years the county has balanced its budget and for the past six years has end ed the year with no outstanding bank loan reeve f g gardiner of forest hill urged york county council to set up a postwar planning commit tee to coordinate the efforts of the municipalities within the county all must take part bach municipality must take part in the reconstruction program which will be necessary after the cessation of hostilities mr gardin er said the people will not stand for a repetition of conditions which prevailed in the depression when surpluses of raw materials were destroyed while children in the county of york were without suffi cient clothing to go to school and without shoes to their feet the government could not find even a million dollars for a constructive program which would have pro vided work but now the budget is four billions and is going still high er already the city of toronto has set up a committee for postwar planning representative of a large cross section of the population of the city we cant solve this problem with platitudes it is time wo got dpwn to business and started the ball rolling the best brains that this country can find should be put to work at once determining the most reasonable way in which it can give employment if we dont give leadership this county council will not be living up to its obligations and the people who send us here will not allow it to continue mr gardiner concluded to seek works project hugh m griggs deputy reeve of mimico told council that he had a resolution which would be brought into council at a later date which would provide for the setting up of a postwar planning committee which would work in conjunction with the toronto and york roads commission in seeking to find suit able employment projects for
