The reason is the extent of drilling operations and ex- bloration during the last summer and the outlays during 950 by private enterprise for development work. The district has shown indicated J ources of several millions of tons ™ f medium to low grade copper- old ore. And the quiet optimism xtencf from the mining camps here you find such men as Herb ornett, mining engineer and bush ilot, down to the offices of Mon- real's St. James Street where the omotional men raise the back- ng for the development work.

Cook, superintendent of the Ontario demonstration farm at New Lis- keard, told the Ontario crop im- provement association Wednesday that agriculture progress has kept pace with the development of other industry in northern sections of the province. Seed production has been a good source of income and livestock are taking an ever greater place in northern farming, he said. "Dairy cattle far outnumber the beef breeds," he sald. "Holstein, Ayrshire and the shorthorn are the most popular. Whole milk, table cream and the ice cream trade make excellent outlets. With the ex- ception of occasional seasondl slumps, these are supplied by local producers." Sheep raising had been falling off although the area was well suited to sheep. Hogs, bears and wolves discouraged a lot of breeders. Poul- try production was heavy while hog raising fluctuated.

CCF NOMINATING CONVENTION Friday, Jan. 19, 8 P.M. GENOSHA HOTEL Miller Stewart, Pres. Ont. C.C.F. -- J. Noseworthy, M.P. -- W. Temple, M.L.A. -- VISITORS WELCOME -- Voting Members Please Bring Membe:ship Card Guest Speakers: - Convention Committee Ontario Riding Association ° Wage, Price Legislation At Session Ottawa, Jan. 16--(CP)--Legisla- tion covering the creation of a new department of wage and price con- trols will be introduced at the next session of parliament if the inter- national situation "deteriorates fur- ther," a government informant said Saturday. The legislation has been drafted by government economic advisers for cabinet consideration. Details of the legislation were not disclos- ed, but it was indicated they in- clude all aspects of price and wage ceilings used in the second world war. The new department, to be or- ganized primarily in the event of a third world war, replaces the old concept of a Wartime Prices and Trade Board. The board is due to 80 out of existence May 1. At the same time, it was learned that the government plans to ob- tain an increase in funds at the next session which opens Jan. 30 to provide an expanded training program to meet a shortage in skilled labor. However, no new legislation is required for this development. The shortage is showing up most acutely in defence. industries and in the armed forces. The federal idea is to increase the number of man taking on-the-spot $raining at various plants. Federal developments along these lines will be dovetailed with pro- vincial schemes, a government la- ber informant said. He recalled that during the last war government direction in train- ing helped provide some 500,000 men both for defence industries and the forces. No target has been set under the new training pro- gram. .

World Paper Shortage Is His Topic Buffalo, N.Y., Jan. 18--(AP)--The president of the Newsprint Associa- tion of Canada, R. M. Fowler of Montreal, said yesterday "there are some serious cases of newsprint shortage in couritries that are al- lies and friends of the United States and Canada." Fowler said that "for a number of these countries, their supplies of newsprint are insufficient to give any complete or adequate picture of world events to democratic peo- ples that we expect to be our part- ners in the struggle against com- munism." "In Great Britain, there is a real possibility that the newsprint short- age will reduce British publishers to a four-page paper again," he said. He mentioned India, Pakistan, Ceylon, South and Central Amer- ica, Western Germany and Japan as in need of newsprint. Fowler suggested that sacrifice by Canada and the U.S, of 500,000 or 750,000 tons of newsprint for these countries "may be needed before long if we really mean what we (ay about an all-out defence pro- gram." He spoke as the winter conven- tion of the New York State Pub- lishers Association. Says Farms Should Set Own Prices Toronto, Jan. 18--(CP) -- M. M. Robinson of Burlington, secretary of the Ontario Fruit and Vegetable Growers' Association; urged farmers Wednesday to act together to or- ganize the marketing of their pro- duce. 'Mr. Robinson told the association's annual convention that a free mar- ket would work out in the long run, "but the method is harsh and im- plies the survival of the fittest." It was unlikely that the govern- ment would allow an unrestricted market to operate, Rather than trust to government intervention, farm- ers should ask for legislation to per- mit them authority to control their own prices and assure producers a fair share of the profits. Professor W. M. Drummond of the Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph, said a market that was half free and half controlled could not operate efficiently. He urged the government to back farmers' efforts to set prices. , Ontario Spotlight BRIDGE SETS RECORD Cornwall, Jan. 18--(CP)--A rec- ord-breaking 214,279 motor vehicles and 690,919 passengers crossed the Roosevelt International briige -- connecting Cornwall with Roosevel- ton, N.Y.--during 1950, it was re- ported today by M.
