With May and June chicks, it’s even
more important than it is earlier in
the season- that they should be
vigorous, thrifty, fast growing and
quick developing. Early chicks can
take their time about growing and
maturing, and still get into produc
tion while egg prices are at their
highest in the fall. But May and
June chicks haven’t much leeway.
If you’re to get them into full pro
duction by top-price time, they’ve
GOT to grow and develop fast.
That’s one of the many good things

John Bracken—The Farmer
On the 11th of Decem
ber, 1942, John Bracken
stood in the Audi
torium in Winnipeg be
fore a great concourse
of people. John Bracken
— the Farmer — was
accepting the leadership
of ' a great resurgent
people’s party. In ring
ing tones he was speak
ing of “The People's
Charter”. And the soul-
searching sincerity of
this man of the soil, with
his vision of Canada,
of Canadians and the
“world of plenty that lies within our grasp”
was deeply moving.
Picture the background of this man — this moment.
John Bracken, the farm boy, on his father’s farm in
Ontario, milking, haying, carrying in the wood, plowing
__then young Bracken, honours student at the Ontario
Agricultural College going to Manitoba as represent
ative of the Department of Agriculture ... on to
Saskatchewan as Superintendent of Fairs and Farmers’
Institutes and Secretary of the Provincial Livestock
Association . . . then, later, John Bracken, author,
writing books about farms, farming, farmers . . .
And now years later, in Winnipeg, John Bracken, the
farmer, is speaking of “the right of farmers and other
primary producers to a fair share of the nation’s
income.” Notice the simplicity of the language he uses,
clear, concise — sincere.
“During the last decade,” he is saying, “farm income
fell to such a low average as to become of very great
concern in our Canadian economy. It is the responsi
bility of the nation to see that this great inequity shall
not be perpetuated.”
Then, suddenly his voice rises, becomes even clearer,
more incisive. “I may say quite frankly that if it had
. hot been for that plank in your platform which pro
vides -for a square deal for agriculture, I would not
be here.”
Two years later, in Alliston, Ontario, — again the same
simplicity, the moving sincerity.
“I am an agrarian,” said John Bracken, “and I am a
Canadian . . . who seeks to Correct the major social
‘ injustice of our day — the unfairly small share of the
national income that goes to farmers and farm women
and farm workers.” Then, with a Statesman’s enlarge
ment of vision, he added, “When the injustice to the
farmer is removed, the economy of Canada as a whole
Will be strengthened?’
No One could be less parochial in his outlook—more
deeply concerned with national welfare than John
Bracken, the farmer who embarked twenty years ago
oh a career SO successful as to be without precedent in
contemporary political history within the British Com
monwealth of Nations.

out but it was of no use so I
myself a shove and went
straight out the roof, The centri
fugal forge acting on me was quite
strong and it took all my strength
to push myself out. The hatch over
my head was broken and had some
jagged edges so I think that is
where I got my cuts. I had two
gashes below my left eye (about
% inch from the eyeball) one .gash
on my left arm and a cut on my
fprehead. I’m O.K. now and my
sight in my left eye is as good as
ever.
I landed in the North Sea about
150 yards off shore and after get
ting rid of my chute I blew up my

life jacket and. started for shore.
The rest of the planes were still
bombing and believe me some of
the bombs were coming too close to
me for comfort. After about twenty
or thirty minutes I got to shore
and a German was there waiting
for me with a gun. He took me up
to their barracks and put me in a
little cell in which I stayed for the
next six days. My guard told me
that four planes crashed but I was
the only survivor. According to him
they buried the rest of the fellows.
After six days I went to another
camp and was liberated from there
on May 6tli by the English Royal
Marines. Gee, were we ever glad to
see them. Seven of us took two
German staff cars and started out.
We took three other pilots to their
squadrons and then we went to an
other camp. Eventually we got to
Nijmegan on V Day. From there
we went to Brussels by train and
England by plane. I’m at the same
place now as I was when I first
came overseas, I’m getting ready to
go on 14 days leave after which
I’m coming home, I have to go to
see the parents of the two English
kids in my crew, on leave, and
that’s something I’m not looking
forward to but it has to be done.
Well folks I guess this is all tor
now, hoping this finds you in the
best of health.
