He added that he was busily engaged at present in shaping a policy that will be benefi- cial to the entire Province and not to any particular section or class ot the people. This policy will prob- ably include good roads for the farmers to their nearest market towns, and better highways for the Province generally.

The new Minister' thinks that good roads, improved rural schools and extension of the Hydro-Electric system will tend to check the exodus of young folk from the farm to the cities.
