After all, who are farmers? There are a lot of people In Canada, today, who Can rightly be called farmers, who have never milked a cow, nor have they ever received a penny from the "sale of butterfat. If these people are buying margarine, then there is no reason to jeer than if a bank manager buys margarine, or if a miner buys it, Signed: testimony from some 14,000 cream producers in Ontario has shown that they eat an average of well. over 36 pounds of butter per person per year.' When as the Rural Co-operator says, you compare this figure with the average yearly consumption for Canada, less than 20 pounds, one can shout from the rooftops that cream producers di; use butter apd plenty of it.

Little wonder that it-is the first institu- tion to •be muzzled when, dictators take over! The dramatic .developments of ,the past few weeks• have shown, too, how dependent we are on the "on-thespot" newsmen. for 'a factual ac- count of events as they happen: This is: far from always being- the easy operation it may seem. In Hungary recently men were equal to the finest traditions of their craft.' "The news must get through" was their motto and ge through it did.

But, thanks to their Work, we are not likely ever again to 'hear a single free citizen of. any" free country say that maybe there is "something to be said" -ler the regime which did this, foul thing. THE WISE OLD saying about never miss- ing the water until the well runs dry is as true 'as ever it was. Canada • being one of the distinct minority of countries which has always had a trly "free" press, the failure:- of most of ! us to value it -a.S we should is perhaps• under- standable. More than ever before, the newspaper of today is a vital guardian of the people's fiber= ties. It is, granted, a daily or weekly compen- dium of events and an important •means of cein- ,. munication as• between seller and buyer! But that is hot the end of the 'dory by any means.
