Small seed of the “Foundation” and “Foundation A” classes was not acceptable, except as applying to the grower who used his own supply and thereby assumed full personal responsibility with reference to the quality of the seed from the standpoint of virus infection. “Owing to the fact that through bad weather unusually large quanti- ties of small size seed have been produced in certain sections of Can- ada, the view has been taken that the small seed from crops classed as "Foundation" and “Foundation A” may be satisfactory for production of seed in the Certified class, under certain conditions."

But he happened to know several impor- tant things and he unhesitatingly ‘put his cards on the table.’ He knew, for example, where to go for and how to obtain several new in- dustries for Richmond Hill. That would have solved one of the most vexing problems of soldier re-estab- lishment, namely, the problem of em- ployment for many of the village veterans through the next few diffi- cult years of industrial re-adjust- ment. Incidentally, it would have been a most effective move towards keeping down or lowering the tax rate especially over the period when higher taxation looms because of the village’s plan to establish a commun- ity wide sewage system. Well, so be it! The present vill- age policy won’t mean lower taxes. It will mean higher taxes plus the dole as it did during the depres- sion. I have learned that not one step is planned or to be planned here in the way of community co-operation with the Dominion government towards giving us the “break” we have a rightrto expect. 2.
