"But why did you make yourself
like that?" said the boy with sur

YOUR LOCAL CO-OPERATIVE ,
. aihliaicd with
UNITED FARMERS CO-OPERATIVE
By “Mutual Aid" Canadians supplied wartime
allies with food, clothing and munitions. 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.

Athens, the 25th May, 19 46
Dear Mrs. W. H. 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.
With .our best regards,
Yours sincerely,

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*
