A. MacKenzie who has represented this riding in the Legisla- tureslnoe 1945 has been renOminated as theflensorvative candidate. “Lex” as he is popularly known has been a conscien- tiflli! and devoted representative, easy it» approach and always willing to help a constituent. Member of an honored York County family he is a man of high rinelples and integrity and deserved- y popular with the peOpIe. Many who want to vote against the Frost govern- ment will find it difficult to vote against Lox MacKenzie. In him his party has a. truly strong candidate. 28 Industrial Rd.

Without the activity of political fifties our democratic system as we gnow it today would fail to function.

STORAGE The provincial election campaign is an opportunity for every citizen to take a hand in making sure we have the best possibie government in Ontario for the next five years. . We urge every citizen to take an active interest in the campaign. If you make yourselfknown to your favorite candidate we know yOu will be welcom- ed as a worker. There is ample opporâ€"V tunity and need for more active workers in every political party. Don’t sit back and find fault with political parties and politicians; get to work in the political party of your choice and help make it better. . Political campaigning is hard work. It makes tremendous demands on the candidates and their workers who are all too few. We extend to all candi- dates and their supporters Our sincere best wishes fora pleasant and a reward- ing campaign. We believe all have an earnest desire to serve their day and generation, and make this great Prov- ince of Ontario a better place in which to live. We believe all are sincere in advocating their particular policies which they believe will make for better government in this province, All can’t win, but all will have served well the cause of good democratic government. In recent elections in this riding the C.C.F. has not been a serious con- tender, but there are many new voters this time and the extent of their can- didate’s support will in large, measure depend on his appeal as the campaign progresses. The C.C.F. candidate is Stanley Hall of Newmarket, and While we know little about him we have every reason to believe he will join with the other contestants in canducting a con- structive and clean campaign. well-known and popular local citizen Donald G. Plaxton. Youth, vigor and ability are among his many qualifica- tions and he is indeed a worthy candi- date. Mr. Plaxton bears a name well known in the professional, business and public life of the county. He has dem- onstrated his ability for public service in the municipal field, having served as deputy-reeve of Rchmond Hill, and a. member of York County Council. Many in this district who want to vote for the Frost government will find it difficult to vote against a home-town candidate of such promise and ability.

How suggestive are the words of Mark, “he sat down" on the right hand of God. A person who is sitting, is usually relaxed and unperturbed. This is true of our Exalted Lord. He reigns in per- fect peace. He sits as one who is assured of the final outcome of victory. He seeks to fill our own hearts and minds with the can tainty at His own triumph. The Christian is the most optimistic person in the world. He believes that God will have the last sa , and that no power in the end wi l beflfle to resist His will. . Christ is Lord. The Christipn is called to live under the con,- trol of His Lordship, and to pro- mote the extension of His King- dom, until all the kingdoms of this world shall yield to His eon- tgol. We need this assurance today, because we live, as men have always lived, in a world where principalities and pewers war for the allegiance of men. The threat at world communism to our dem- ocratic way of life is a most ser- ious threat. The secularism at an: society threatens to under- mine and. destroy the foundations of our Christian faith.

Anqther said that it was so magnificent that in no way could he have antici- pated it. If this was the reaction of men to an earthly corOnation, hpw could we eVer describe the exaltation of Jesus. We simply believe it. From His heavenly throne we believe that He exer- cises the p_lace of supreme power. ... The message of the ascension is meant to gladden our hearts and to challenge us to Christian action. The most fundamental thing we learn. is that Christ is our Exalted Lord. Scripture can only speak of the ascension of Jesus in "picture" language, for human speech‘is quite inadequate to describe His exaltation in Hea- ven. In the book of Revelation, Jo n is given a vision of Christ exalted in heaven. but remember it is a vision, He sees the Lamb that was slain, receiving honour, majesty, dominiontand power. Hmong completed the work of redemption He now returns to reign as Lord of all. Quite naturally we ask. "What does it all mean?” There are lessons in be lgarned from the blrm, 1i e, death and resurreca Hon of Christ, but what can we learn from such a statement as we read in the Gospels, “So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He was received up into Heaven, and sat on the right hand of God". (Mark 16:19). Last week, Christians through- out the world remembered the as- cension of Jesus. This event took place in the ministry of our Lord, forty days after His trium- phant resurrection.

I talked to Mrs. Norman Epworth, whose 180ranimal Colonial ranch on Hillsview Ave., was bought from Mrs. Seymour, Mrs. William May of May- fair ranch . ‘7 . she is secretary to the “ass0ciation” . . . and to Mr. James Tinkler whose ranch is at Yonge- burst. I even was'allowed to wear the fabulously light and soft champagne, cape that is the second garment so far made up in Ganada, and I was shown all through the pens where the intelligent little things at once recogu nized the voice of a stranger and scurried into their nesting boxes, that to my layman’s eye resembled noth. ing so much as'a whitewashed brick barbecue . . . After I learned to keep my tongue still we became better ac- quainted; but long guard hairs and most whiskery whis~ kers together with the unprepossessing eyes and curved yellow teeth did not make it love at first sight on my side, and apparently my appearance was equally unap‘ peeling to them. No they did not even look as if they wanted to'bite me . m . they only wanted to get away and hide. However they are Very hardy and althe’ugh they are prone to pneumonia from draughts they are ethers wise disease resistant. They are very light feeders and obligingly can be fed once er- twice a day and their diet’ of carrots, lettuce, celery, hay. whole grains, will keep their feed costs down to about one to one and a half cents a day. For a treat a piece of cold boiled po- tato is relished like candy. So far we haven’t made the most of an? animals as they have in Europe. There the skin ef the tail is used in expensive buttons (looks a little like alligator), the meat'is a delicacy second to none, and served as ragon. dine, and in New York even sells for $3.20 for a 12 oz. can! Costume jewelry can be made from the ivory and when it's all over there’s still the fur. While the cape my; about $2,000 and a full length coat would be $2800 to $3000 even though so soft and light it is extremely durable, but the price per pelt is not yet established. In 'July 1957. the Nutria Breeders Association was formed and by the end of the year there were 34 mem- bers. Now it has grown to 105 members of which Mr. Walter Whale of Alma, Ontario, is the president and four of the ten directors in Canada live in or around Richmond Hill . . . Mrs. Epworth, Mrs. Brunt and Mrs. Seymour being the other three (Mrs. May is secretary.) They are starting a bulletin for exchanging information etc. and have formed the association to keep the stand- ards high to teach breeders which colours are best, how to care for their animals as well as to market the pelts. Until recently the overflow from the well provided a tinystream for them to play in, but that is dried up at the moment, and of course the Epworths hepe it will “coingbaek” fer the animals will romp in it all day long. They are a good family animal; The father stays with his wife and children, which run an average of five. Although they dp'not reach full grewthuntil 18 months, nearly all have their first litter by a year old (and like all yeung-the three month old ones were so much mare attractive than the old ones). The gestation per. iod is 128 days so it’s very good going to get five litters in just over twq years, sometimes a female will go a Whole year without breeding. ' . If it weren’t for their tails and their Whiskéve, I thmk I could even come to have tha little things myself. fierhaps we ought to say that the mutations are new. The dark brown original from South America is estimated to be a species two million years old! He cer- tainly has the odd characteristics of some of the ani-' male that we associate with isolated Australia and New Zealand '. . “for instance the mammary glands run down either side of the female’s back and she feeds her young as she coasts lazily down a stream, a floating cafeteria! But to return to the originals. In Canada a Dr. Partik in Quebec imported some of the brown to experiment with in 1923,, but did not develop mutations as far as I could learn. It was in Germany that the'first development of mutations began shortly after the first World War, and Mrs. Charlotte Brunt was breeding brown nutria in King at least twelve years ago. ‘ Mrs. Seymour had been in chinchilla and considered nutria as another line, andalthough she only knew of the browns she went to Germany to inquire about colours because that county was known to be very clever with fur‘s. v v - ' Nutr-ia are pretty new to this country, at least the mutations are; It is only five years ago that Mrs. K. Seymour (then Mrsi Thompson) brought the mutations from Germany. These first 23 animals were the Green- land Exotic and Champagne. Shortly after she brought in the Greenland Blue-blacks and the Steel-blues. For two years the happy little animals were attractions at the sportsmen’s show in Toronto: Well. he's a nutria. Nests of baby rabbits have been mistaken for the young of escaped nutria. I myself saw a dead field mouse that was “captured” as an escaped nutria, MuSkmts have even been taken for them. They are to say the least unfamiliar. Would you recognize this animal if you saw him? He can stand up like a ground hog on his pink web- bed hind feet,«Which are small in comparison with his 16 to 30 pounds weight. His front paws are delicate “hands” with which he picks up his (strictly vegetarian) tidebits. He ranges in color from blue‘blaek to cham- pagne, with golds and browns included. He loves the water. His ears and eyes are small, his whiskers are many and long, his two. yellow front teeth are more like a sqiiirrel’s than anything. Do you need any more clues? Therels his tail. It’s not like any tail I ever saw before. Slung out behind like an elongated pale carrot about one and a half to two feet in length it is one of his features that keeps him from being an attractive animal . . . on first sight, I hasten to say as those who love this fellow quickly and earnestly point out that one comes to love every point of this unusual and gentle animal. 71 Centre Street East LUMBER -, LATHS !
