By mutual aid, too, Canadian farmers did their part. By help­ ing each other they planted and harvested the crops which meant so much to the United Nations. At harvest time groups of neighbors worked first at One farm and then at another. , Farmers from dif­ ferent parts of the same province, or even from different provinces, became harvest “neighbors” under government-sponsored farm labor inter­ changes. Another form of mutual aic. among farmers— purchasing and marketing, co-operatives—played an importaiit part iri achieving Canada’s food pro­ duction records, and is even more vital now in this time of rehabilitation and reconstruction. These co-operatives reduce farmers’ costs, increase their returns from the sale of produce* These co­ operatives increase output, improve quality, and reduce the cost to the consumer* At the same time they raise the farm standard of living, increase rural buying power, build self-respecting citizens* They contribute to the prosperity of township, Village, tOWh, city and nation.

Stone: Some time ago the Greek Red Cross distributed to us some cloth­ ing, among which was a man’s shirt with a little note pinned on it, saying that it had been made by you. We are very touched by your kindness, to think of people in dis­ tress so far away from you, and I am sure that you could not have wished for a more needy and un­ happy family to receive the shirt made' by youi* own hands. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. I am the’ mother of this family which is in desperate need of help and although you are so very far away and unknown to me, I send you this letter as a cry of help, coming out of my heart. This is the state my family is in: my hus­ band is tubercular; we have four children, the eldest being a daugh­ ter of 18 years old, all four of them suffering of adenoids, and so am I. We live in a single damp room, the six of us having as floor bare earth. Please, help us, in any way you can! Clothing or food, even the smallest gift, will be a relief to us; If this is not possible for you, per­ haps you could make other people take an interest in the plight of my family. Before I end this letter, I wish to express . to you our deepest feel­ ings of gratitude and I, personally, as a mother wish you happiness and all the best to your family. God bless you.

TO A MlllION CANAD/AHS I working with Canadians in every walk of life since 1817 No one worked with stouter heart or stronger arm than the Canadian farmer to win World War II. Through six long years of, war, while half a million farmers left their ploughs to take' up arms in combat or make them on the home front, men and women on the farm laboured from dawn till dusk and after to supply fodd for war ... in millions of tons. The ploughshare was the sword of hattie . . . And now, with peace so dearly won, the farm people of Canada are turning their energies to lighten the suffering of war-torn and famine-stricken lands to hold and even raise production still fighting to build a better world for all men. , Proudly, the Bank of Montreal salutes these men, women and children of Csm&da^ army of agriculturalists, who now turn their sword of hattie to the tasks of peace* swords into ploughshares*
