WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 28, 1948 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE THREE Farmers Ask Old Age Pension Of $55, Cut Rural Health Plan On N ational Scale Stressed As Need By H. Dent Hodgson Canadian Press Staff Writer Brockville, Jan. 28 (CP)--Resolutions urging better rural health services, income tax concessions to farmers and increased old age pension benefits were on the approved Tist today as the 12th annuai convention of the Canadian Feder- ation of Agriculture moved into the last day of a two-day open session, The resolutions passed yesterday called on the dominion government to proceed as rapidly as possible to obtain co-operation of the provinces in setting up a national health service which would benefit urban and rural areas equally. Agriculture as well as organized labor and other groups should be represented in the administration of such a scheme, the resolution add- ed. As one method of increasing ru- ral medical service it was suggested that special departments of rural medicine be set up in the medical faculties of Canadian Universities, with special provision for rural ap- prenticeship with rural practition- eers and government assistance for students, Urges Research 2 Need for further research in ar- thritic and rheumatic diseases and cancer also was stressed and it was urged that the federal government provide grants to further this work and set up at least five hospitals to take care of the estimated 600,000 arthritic and rheumatic cases in Canada. On income tax the convention ap- proved resolutions to petition the federal government to raise the ex- emptions to $1,200 for single per- sons and $2,400 for married persons, compared with the present $750 and $1,500 exemptions. On old age pensions, the conven- tion asked that all persons be paid $55 a month at the age of 65 and that the means test be eliminated. Today the open sessions were to hear a discussion on "a stabiliza- tion plan for Canadian agriculture" in which Dr. David MacFarlane of Macdonald College, Montreal, will take the lead. Others taking part include Prof. W. M. Drummond of the Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph. Meetings of the board of direct- ors, closed to the public, were open- ed Monday and continue through Friday, Yesterday the 200 delegates from all parts of Canada heard a wel- coming address from H., H. Han- nam, CF.A. president, a review of government farm policies by Agri- culture Minister Gardiner, and a talk on .Canadian-United States trade relations by Francis Flood, agricultural attache at the US, Embassy in Ottawa. Wheat Increase Mr, Gardiner said the govern- ment phobably would announce in the near future an increase from $1.35 to $1.55 a bushel in the basic wheat price paid to western far- mers. He defended the govern- ment's wheat policy of long-term contracts with Britain and the em- bargo on wheat exports to the U.S. 'The Minister noted that ceilings would be re-imposed on meat prices in the near future and said the new ceilings, based on the higher prices in the contract for meat ship- ments to Britain in 1948, would likely continue for one year. Turning to the butter ceilings imposed last week, Mr, Gardiner said the wholesale ceiling had been set at 67 cents a pound because it was felt any higher price would not assist the farmer, Farmers could and must market butter at a reasonable price with reasonable returns to. the producer and without hurting the consumer. Mr. Flood said that more progress could be made in improving Can- adian-United States relations by farmers of the two countries than by any other groups. Board Favors '(Continued from Page 1) was granted for playground pur- Joses on a temporary basis by ity Council. . G. Disney was delegated to explain the Board's proposal to the Eastview Association: before mak- ing a definite recommendation to City Council. In favoring the site to the south- west of the present playground, the Board was of the opinion that this location would best suit future development of the eastern section between King Street and Bloor Street while being only one block south of the present community. Another factor in its favor was the fact that an area on the op- osite corner to the southeast has en set aside as a future school site, it being considered advanta- geous to have the park area in close proximity to the school. Discuss Charlton Transfer Progress was also made at last night's meeting towards reaching a decision on the" proposed trans- fer of property north of King Street in the vicinity of the Charl- ton Transport Ltd. base. Plans showing two alternatives were presented by the chairman, N. C. Millman, and the Board was requested to be prepared to make a jy at its next meeting, in some two weeks' time, At present, the Charlton proper- ty, which is approximately 165 feet wide blocks the easterly extension of Richmond Street on the south and Colborne Street farther north. The plan originally favored by the Board would give Charlton Trans- 'port an area approximately 130 feet wide on the east side of its property in exchange for strips * wide enough for the extension of the two streets and for a row of lots on the south side of the exten- sion of Colborne Street. Here, how- ever, the firm would be allowed to retain one lot as an emergency exit. The alternate plan, embodying suggestions set forth in a letter from A. W. 8S. Greer, K.C., solici- tor for residents of Cadillac Ave- nue North, would give the firm a strip only some 60 feet wide to the east of its present location. Instead of the city retaining a row of lots on the south side of Colborne Street, however, the Charlton pro- perty would be allowed to extend to the south edge of this street. In order to utilize the area be- tween the eastern limits of the Charlton property and the present houses on the west side of Cadillac Avenue a circling street or "place" would be formed, with an outlet on Cadillac Avenue. Six lots would front on this "place", The Board's proposal, allowing a more easterly extension of the Charlton property, had suggested a small park in the area between this line and the Cadillac Avenue houses. In connection with' their proposal the residents had asked that heavy vehicles be prohibited from using Cadillac. Avenue North. While no decision was made on this aspect of the proposal, it was felt that the city was st "ed in restrieti heavy traffic .o :ertain stre....
