FROM OM DIRECTOR To the Editor and Readers, Clinton News-Record, With 1957 nearly ended it is natural for us to look back over the past year and at this time on behalf of the Huron District Far- niers Union I would like to thank the News-Record for the. co-oper- ation and assitance it has given our organization. In looking back over the past year, for farmers it is very dis- couraging to note that awarding to statistics, our net income will be lower in 1957 than in 1956. The one bright spot in the farm- big picture is that farmers as well as governments are realizing the important part that a•grass roots farm organization such. as the Farmers Union Can play in bring- ing a fair share of the national in., come to agriculture. As an, oat- ample of this„ all political parties during the last election campaign gave 'special attention' to the agri- culture situation, and as another example, in the last month our present governMent has asked for representation on three occasions, from the Farmers 'Onion in con- nection with the' new farm bill. In Ontario the OFU has organs axed 100 hew locals and has re- affirmed its stand to support pro- ducer-contralled marketing board by offering sutgestiotts .80 'as to have these boards operate more efficiently in the best interests Of the producers.

THE EDITORS of the Rural Scene express, their feelings about one of the weaker points in 'Ole present old age security benefits. They most certainry have a point: "I understood the honourable senator from Mille Isles to say, 'and I agree with him,' that the principle of the original legislation is that ,a;man or woman at 70 is, entitled to a pension, "I think that must be the principle of the legislation, and I believe it is a wrong principle, "I e am over 70, 'and if my wife were not listening in the gallery I might let the cat out of the bag as to her age. • "I do not consider that there ,is justifiable principle that I or my desk-mate here (ion, Mr., Howard); with his fabulous millions, or any other member of the community in Canada mho have a comfortable living allowance is, when over 70, entitled to a pension.. "I challenge that principle absolutely. When I am told that people over 70 who are living In comfortable conditions can get a, pension, but that a man 65 who is completely in need, as any man of that age may be, is not entitled to a pension -bemuse he -is not 70, I say there. is something wrong with the principle of that legislation.

The prophets of gloom are at it again. They have consulted their sev- eral, crystal balls, as to the number of Cariad.- lens who will be out of a job three or four Months hence, and they have had th.aly several answers. Answert, needless to say, calculated to make John and Mary Citizen's flesh creep. 500,000? 700,000, 900,000? , You pay your penny and you take your eheice. What are the facts? There are nearly 200,000 more Canadians at work today than at this time a year ago. In round' figures 5.8 mil- lien men and women .have jobs out .o a total labour force of six million. And all but a frac- tion will still be employed come the spring. True, the level of unemployment is some- what higher than it was toward the end of 1956. Hut not startlingly. so when it is remembered that 1956 was a year of exceptional economic actizity ' and that the labour force itself has incNased since then by a whopping 250,000. The seasonal pattern of employment in Canada is, Of‘course, firmly fixed: job opportun- ities are most plentiful in summer,',least so in winter. There are, in the normal course of ev- ents, three times as many persons registered as unemployed in March as, in August. But these totals include not only the hard core Of so-called "unemployables" and the much greater number of persons temporarily laid-off . due te bad weather, but also these persons changing jobs. Economic conditions today are broadly com- MINKEY FOR THE woman who "hasa everything" that mink-upholstered chair at about $700 must have been just the thing to prevent Christmas from being a disappointment. Designed Spec- deny to set the hostess off properly from her mere guests, it is just what every 'household heeds to exiiress tasteful hospitality. But we shuddel to think what future his- . torians will say about the "civilization' that produces such exrescenees. Perhaps such civ- ilizations are not really so decadent as they seem in retrospect. How many Romans. had gold bathtubs? How many Americans will take 'to Sitting on mink to entertain their less for- tunate neighbors? parable with 'those- of the winter of 1954-55. Unemployment in December 1954 (with the lab- our farce smaller by 500,000 than it is now) stood at 248,000. By March 1955 it had reached a peak of 400,000-plus, well over seven percent of the labour force, In less than three months, howeVer, it was down to 150,000, and by Aug- ust had fallen by a further 20,000>to its .lowest point. . Forecasts of upwards of 500,000 persons unernployed by next March, therefore, will not, even if realized, represent the national cal- amity the scaremongers are implying. Such a total would mean that, as usual, the March fig- ures were three times those of the previous August. The important thing is to avoid un- dermining confidence and bringing, about a climate of fear; and to maintain a sense of pro- portion without becoming complacent. Relatively speaking, there is no reason to expect the employment situation to be any 'war- se this winter than. it was three years ago; it might even be a whole lot better if the Distal Desmonds will only quieten down. ' Legitimate concern and activity directed toward easing seasonal unemployment at the community level is one thing; spreading alarm and despondency by painting an exaggerated picture is another, and will do nothing to help those in need of work. What it can do" is close doors to job- seekers which might othewise have been open. —.Industry. BUSINESS Not many' wer would guess. And so, please7, MraTurture Historian, don't explain the rise and fall of western civilization by a reference' to the' mink-covered chair. The only real effect of this 1957 monstrosity is to 'recall the 1925 fan- tasy which school children projected with their prescient witticism about a "fur-lined bathtub." In fact, Mr. F. H., don't explain the decline of western civilization at all, because quite a lot' of us are determined it, isn't going to decline.' Some of us are prepared to sit on wooden ben- ches to make sure it doesn't. We are not the people addressed by the advertismnt for mink- lined parlor 'chairs—but there are million of us, just millions.—Christian. Science Monitor. Looking into 1958 I hope that farmers all'aeross Canada as well as Ontario will include, in their New 'Year's Resolution a decider to join their fellow farmers and become a direct duea paying mem- ber in the Farmers 'Won. Ali farmers will have this op- portunityduring the week of January 20 to 24, which will be' known as Huron County Farm Union Week. Wishing everyone "the best" for 1058.

The old tun- nel had been covered over. Des- pite his sharp teeth, he'd made little progress an that new mater- ial lining the kitchen. The smell of food made his mouth water. But every once in awhile the child banged his toys. It was rather startling, in fact made his fur stand an end. And so he finally gave up and went down the par- tition to the ground floor apart- ment. Now, if he could elude, that frisky young hound which had ,killed his cousin Tommy, in, the orchard, perhaps he' could get at the Christmas pudding on the counter, He' had visions of tak- ing raisins back to Mrs. Meuse and the little ones! He could make. more than one trip. How pleased the "Missus" `maid be! And so he was waiting quietly hidden from view, as he' thought, until the kitchen would be empty. Being inordinately proud of ,his tail, he twitched it around to. ad- mire, it, And that's when Mrs. Housewife saw his tail sticking Out froM under the electric stove.
