vEAurii OR CROP INSURANCE
-THE. vIEwrom expressed he The Rural
Scene concerning' the proposed national, health
scheme seems to us quite strong in "horse
sense".
The Writer expressed the belief that farm-
ers needed crop insurance mach more than he
needs hrealth insurance: "For every farmer we
• have known to become insolvent threugh dicks
ness or accident, we can point to 20' who have
become se through, crop failures:"
He proceeds to, say that voteebungry polite
icians are extollipg health and hospitalleation
plans that make it possible for wealthy people
• to get thousands of dollars worth of health
services at the expense of other people who find
it hard to buy whiter clothing for their children.
And says that "Whether they know it or
not, those politicians.yvho are advocating a nes
time health plan at the taxpayers' ,expense
are fellewing the• very procedure laid down by
Sidney Webb for introducing socialism into
Britain by stealth. He said: 'Never use the
ward. socialism. Call it humanitarianism and
the people will vote for it'."
Where then, asks the writer, is the justice?
Where is the charity in taxing the farmers, who
run the risk every year of losing' their whole
year's work, to help pay the hospital and
medical bills of other people who take no such
risks?
The Rural Scene contends that, farmers
should be allowed to pay for crop insurance
instead, by using his excess money in good
years to tide him, over the bad years; How-
ever, they, say that the income tax law, which
insists on a share of the farmers' profits the
year it is made, takes of the -money- which.
is needed for the poor years.
* * *
• We all look with disfavour .6n the. feudal
lords of ancient Britain, Who insisted on %king
most of the grain raised by their tenant farm-
ers during the good years, leaving it •next to
impossible for the farmer to raise -a crop- at all
the next year, We read novels and magazine
articles about the similar taetics of the Nazi
and Communist leaders in the eountries•where
they have control, to do the same thing in these
modern times. What is the difference, 'whether
the Profite be taken in the form of the actual
product, or 'if they be taken in; the form of
taxes after the product has been turned into
money?
01 NO BUTTE R IMPORTED
IT WAS RE-ASSURING last week to, learn
from an official at the creamery here, that there.
has been no butter imported into Canada for
about three years.
Two weeks ago, we had occasion to exclaim
over practices attributed to our Ontario cream-
eries by local farmers, who claimed that they
had heard of imported butter being mixed with
the 'local product . and was being sold under
Canadian wrappers.
This belief Was strongly held by the farm-
ing people contacted, and, they ,had apparently
received strong evidence-.that this was; being
done. Which just goes 'to show that all. that
you hear is not necessarily the truth,
Denial' of imported butter has also been
Made by the proprietor, of the Seaforth 'cream-
ery. Both he and the -representative of the
creamery here, state that butter kept too long

refnigerator, may pick up tastes, which id should
net have. This „quite probably explains the
taste of the particular pound of the product
Which we found undesirable.
We have always believed that the opinion
of the "grass-roots farmer" in matters having
„to do with his; own.produce was tad* considered
\quite authentic, because the, farmer is vitally
interested in what happens ;to his own product,
and hisdnformation should be authentic.
However, since in thie case it would definit-
gy appear to be wrong, we are quite pleased to
be able to help set the story straight.

GLASS aF. MILK
• .
THEY ARE mistaken whO• think an increase in city
wages automatically helps farmers.
The farmer's selling price (or milk delivered to the city
is the same whether the ultimate consumer is a school- a
boy who pays 8 cents for a glass, or whether he is a
prosperous' senior in a luxury restaurant topping off a -
lunch with a glass of milk for which he is charged
20 cents or more.
If a city wage earner is now getting enough - cash, to
buy all the milk or other food he and his family can
or will eat, a further boost in pay will-not persuade
people to eat more farm products. Most city workers
not only-,have enough for basic needs but also today
they possess what only 50 years ago would have been
luxuries only to be dreamed about.
It is because Canadians are so -fortunate in their high
standard of living that wage increases in cities do not
really help farmers. In fact, a boost in wages' will
send up prices of things farmers buy unless production
costs per man are kept down in other ways.

Water Safety
Rules For
Swim Season
If you can't swim, stay out
of . deep -water and out of
canoes! -
That's Number One in saf-
ety rules for the summer
months.
Almost as many pbople
Ontario died from drowning
as from highway accidents
last ye r. 295 on the high-
ways during June, July and
August, and 258 by drowning
in the same period. The great-
est danger is in the 16 to 25
years age group.
Other rules are: Never go
swimming alone. Wait an
hour after eating before going
into the water. Float on your
back if you get a cramp, and
upon reaching shore, rub the
affected part vigorously.
Above all, keep calm!

Like the woman who proverb,

comes A tune when the writer of

adjustment in thinking,
In the case ,of the writer, the
subjects are, always' there in
abundance, fib881,1red only by peens
tal laziness and inertia and a
temporary .dimming of the "seeing

The subject closest to me at the
moment is washday. I like wash-
day-it rates an approving para-
graph .from me any day of the
week, but especially on Monday,
I believe it is considered slightly
old-fashioned to insist on washing
on Monday, but I sloa't mind, in.
the least.
To borrow a certain repellent
TV commercial which is. dinned
into our--ears with maddening fre-
quency, "It leaves a clean fresh
taste up to. nine hours." Or, in
the - context in which I am using
this inescapable slogan', the fresh-
ness imparted by washing on Mon-
day lasts all the rest of the week,
At this season of the years - and

Another subject which stirs my

one. who counters that it is a dull
subject, I can only say that it is
only possible to understand the
present and entertain some hope
for the future by taking an intel-
ligent interest in the past. This
is not a thought original with me
it has been used by a great
