Farmers all over'Canada—grair{lgrowers,stock raisers,
dairymen, fruit growers, vegetable gardeners, poultry-
men—all kinds of farriers --are forcing production,
fighting hard early and late to supply the enormous
quantities of products .demanded in the greatest of
all wars. • .
In this "survival war" food :plays a tremendous
part, and the farmer is the dependable supplier, to

The discussion of •Canada's
large war appropriation bill has
continued with Hon, J. L. R•al-
ston outlining major problems
encpuntered , by' the Department
of National Defence. He 'admitted
that the question of securing 'ade-
gixate numbers of, men and wo-
men .for, various armed services,
has caused considerable anxiety.
"We ration tea, sugar, gasoline,
rubber and 'clothing; . we create
priorities ' for . this; ' that and the
other thing but 'nobody in - this
.House; 'or this country has gone,
hungry or cold, on this account.

to get men, or as it becomes, dif-
ficult to get • material, • simply
throwup our hands and say it is
too uncomfortable and .too incon-
venient, , let us lower our sight
and have ;less bother". The min-
ister said he had no doubt .in" his
mind as to .when. `the • people of
Canada would answer this.- ques
tion. He told. 'of; thea importance
of the contribution being made
by the C.W.A.C. When it .

TOWNS
FOR A
OF CANADA
COME -BACK
DUEy
By R. J. Deachman4•
The town weekly is coming into
its. own. It has made a great im-
provement in the last few years.
This much is crystal clear to any-
one who knows these publications
and•the men who 'make thein.
Time was, I .am. 'sorry ,to ,say,
when the town paper was a more
or less shabby sheet. 'Men drifted
into they business through impulse
rather, than .,understanding. ' A
business- man who missed the
boat, a, teacher who quarreled
with the trustees, a preacher,
who for onereason ori, anothei,
fell ' out of the pulpit; -•,all these
and more sought joy and expres-
sion in the publishing business.

The . town weekly covers its;

and the area around itprovides
a news field which -is the inat-
viral monopoly of,he local paper.
With this oT. course goes .the job
printing work of the area.
Some towns have became stag-
nant in the last few years, but
I have a prevailing idea that the
towns .,of Canada will stage a
come -back. The farmer,• too, will
come into his o'wn and get a larg
er share of the national' income:
These events will help the town

There is no reason why these
desirable eventsshould nothap-,
pen within the next few years.
The town has many advantages.
Costs of • living are less—costs of •
production; in 'many `industries,,
are, lower than in the. cities. There
is on the averageha:hiighe;r level.
of human happiness in the' town .
than in` the city. :The revival , of
the town may be, one of the not-
able events. of the ,latter half of.
this century. '

sociation. It should do everything
possible to hasten:the coming of
that day. It is no light and super-
ficial task. It requires work.•Itt
demands a careful • investigation
of the economic aspects of the
situation. From the national point
of - view, in the interests of Can-
ala,it is a case which should be
presented and the editors of tower
papers are quite capable of doing
the job; -doing it well.. •
A well-known writer of things

that it's "a misfortune to marry
an icicle". That's right, girls; he's
almost sure to become a drip.
