To Editor of Exeter
Times-Advocate,
Dear Sir,
Relating to your editorial in
the issue of November 29, 1951
entitled “We Disagree”; I have
been instructed by the Directors
of Huron County Federation of
Agriculture to reply to this edi
torial, pointing out the miscon
ceptions it raises regarding a re
solution passed, at our annual
meeting in Clinton last Novem
ber, relating to immigrant la
bour.
During the past two years this
question of Immigrant labour
and particularly that section of
Immigrant labour classed as dis
placed persons sent to Canada as ; farm labour has been up for dis-1
eussion at practically every, Fed-(e 0 n c e r n e d about them why
J There are people brought into
y this year who
__„.__/ a’ few days on the
unsatisfactory to the | farm they were directed to. They
! left and to the best of my know-
' ledge no one knows where they
; are to-day. It is not creating a
j hardship to have these people
report at least twice a year to [ their nearest employment office.
This laxity of ours has caused
some concern among some of
our new Canadians. They through
experience know what can hap
pen in a country where infiltra
tion is permitted.
We have no desire to have an
employee held on one farm dur-
ling the two year period. All we j ask is that he remain in agricul
ture. If he does not report, then
who is going to say he has not
slipped out of the country like
it has has been suggested ear
lier? We naturalized Canadians
are recorded*' every ten years.
What 'record is kept of the num
ber of unnaturalized Canadians
within our borders? It would be
interesting to know how many
of our recent immigrants are re
corded in the 19 51 census.
Mr. A. Y. McLean, M.P., point
ed out that many of the people
coining to Canada today are
| coming on their own initiative

This does not concern our re
solution. These people come to
Canada and enter their chosen
profession. They are not direct
ed to agriculture by anyone and

Perhaps we are too much con
cerned with the welfare of oth
ers to take a good look at con
ditions within our own borders.

Gordon M. Greig, Sec. Fieldman,
Huron County Fed. of Agricul
ture.
ED. NOTE: Our thanks to Mr.
Grieg for explaining the Federa
tion’s stand. We still feel it is
unfair to treat these New Can
adians like men released from
our penitentiaries. They should
be recognized as citizens, not as
farm help, and if, as Mr. Grieg’s
letter would imply, they need
screening, the screening should
be done before they get to this
country, not after. We feel the
Federation’s trouble lies with
the officials of the Department
of Immigration and their agents
in Europe.

Our point of contention is
this. During the past few years
the’ immigration Department per
mitted thousands of people from
Europe to enter Canada under
the pretext that they were people
willing to work on farms here in
Canada and interested in farm
ing as an occupation. In many
cases these immigrants were car
penters, lawyers, educated people
of many callings who wanted to
enter Canada and were willing
to come as farm labour in or
der to get here. No other door
to Canada was open for their
entry and they used the farming
angle as a blind to make good
their entry.
Having arrived in Canada, un
able to speak the language or
understand the complicated bus
iness of farming at a glance,
they were put out on farms at a
wage that we consider adequate,
considering the amount of time
it took the farmer to educate
them to our way of life. The
first few months was spent in
learning the language and our
method of doing things. The

Cayen Sunday School
Presents Pageant
Caven Presbyterian Sunday
School held its annual Christmas
entertainment Friday evening,
December 21. Despite the wea
ther and considerable sickness,
there was a good turnout of
both children and adults to en
joy the programme.
The programme took the form
of a pageant, “Christmas in
Story and Song”, in which all
the members of the Sunday
School had a part. Martha Coch
rane and Gordon Strang, as
heralds in appropriate costume,
introduced the pageant, and with
Mrs. H. Laing and Mr. W. G.
Cochrane as narrators, various
customs associated with the
Christmas season were depicted
by children of the Sunday
School. The Christmas cake was
presented by Verla Smith and
Marcia McDonald; the Christinas
tree by Dennis Cann; holly by
Caroline Simpson and Carol Ho
garth; candles by Donna Ersman
and Donna Bridges and the yule
log by Billy Mitchell. The child
ren of the beginners’ class placed
stockings around the fireplace.
As the Christmas story was
narrated, Marilyn

Mary and Joseph,
Strang and
appeared as
with Bonny
Hogarth as the angel. The only
shepherd available for the eve
ning was Alvin Campbell, while
Eugene Kirk, Paul Seldon and
Larry Smith acted as the wise
men. The spirits of Love, Joy,
Peace aid Faith were depicted
by Gwen Simpson, Patsy John
son, Phyllis Canp and Janice
Neil. Elaine Hogarth, Patsy Bow-
den4 Helen Taylor and Bernice
Strang, as pages, each read a
Christmas legend, and the pro
gramme was brought to a close
by the heralds, Martha and Gor
don. Christmas carols, sung by
e v er y o n e , were interspersed
throughout the pageant, follow
ing which Santa arrived on the
scene to distribute gifts and
candy to all the children.
The church had been decorat
ed for the occasion by some
members of the Circle and
C.G.I.T. The pageant was direct
ed by Mrs. Jim Taylor and Mrs.
Norm Stanlake, and the stage
properties and costumes were
mainly the work of Mrs. Taylor,

Thanks to You
Saying thanks to you, as a customer and friend,
very pleasant vear-end privilege.
As we go into the new year together, we want
to know that we appreciate, the business that
have entrusted to us and that we' look forward to
being increasingly helpful to you in the days ahead.
We have endeavoured to merchandise well-known
products that we know give you satisfaction and serv
ice. and this too will be our constant aim.
May the coming .year bring to you those things which
will afford you and your family the greatest happi
ness.

age and all new tasks had to be
demonstrated.
In many cases this indoctrina
tion was done during the winter
months with a view toward the
new Canadian ready to take his
place when the spring planting
season arrived. How often have
we found that as soon as the
farmer had this helper educated
to the point where he was able
to take his proper place on the
farm that the helper jumped the
farmer tutored him while he be
came accustomed to our Country
job and went to work in the city
or on some construction job. The
and ways of living and as soon
as that was completed someone
else received the benefit.
The best way I know for any
one else to truely understand
this problem is to orient it to
your own occupation. Take for
an example a Swedish lumber
jack arrives in Canada saying he
is a printer. He is introduced to
a local paper in Huron County
and after they have spent weeks
and even months of time and
patience teaching him a few of
the complcated tasks that are
necessary in a printing business
and that can be done by some
one with a mechanical interest;
he decides to leave and go back
to his former occupation as a
lumberjack. He leaves just at a
time when you have received a
big printing job such as the
Huron County Year Book. That
is the only time when you will
be able to understand what the
farmer has had to put up with.
In many cases people have
come to Canada from European
countries, that have farmed all
their lives. They are in most
cases satisfactory employees. In
many such cases a farmer has
assisted them in becoming esta
blished on a farm of their own
after he was convinced they were
good citizens and interested in
making farming their occupa
tion in Canada. These are the
kind of people we want for farm
help and not the carpenter, the
lawyer and the salesman, that
was introduced to the farm be
cause he could not gain entry by
any other door.
A reference was made in the
editorial to our pioneers who
settled in this country. Where
would this country be to-day if
all our pioneers insisted on liv
ing in old Muddy York, or King
ston or some of the other early
cities. They were truely pioneer.
We have vast areas of land today
where these people can go and
take up land the same as our an
cestors did, In many cases in
Northern Ontario we have set
tlements of New Canadians that
are carving for themselves a new
home in a new land. It is more
people like these that we would
have our immigration depart
ment bring out to Canada and
less of tlie people that look only
to the bright lights.
In dealing with our request
for the people ‘coming to this
country as farm help to remain
on the farin at least two years,
we feel that if these people
knew that they have to stay in
agriculture for at least two
years only those who are agrl-
culturaly minded would come and
we would receive the quality of
farm help that We deserve.
Let your hullditig iiidifgfHds
bring out their own help If they
so desire, but let them educate
their new help themselves. In
