These Federal elections lately have reminded me of the old In dian describing the western weather on a particularly dry year, "b . black clouds, heap big wind no rain." In the last ten years we have had plenty of federal elections bu there has been little change in government policy even with change in party in power. We seem to get some decisive action, if it seems will get some votes, just before the election. 'The 'dock-workers strike was brought to a temporary end ver suddenly and spectacularly on the eve of the election announ- ceMe!it. It was hailed as a wonderfull benefit to Western grai growers and it has been suggested in the press that it was a srnar move to' win the Western farm vote. If I were a Western farmer I would consider it an insult to my in- telligence. If it is good to end the strike now by legislation it would have been'even better to have ended it in a week instead of a month. It seerns' to me that government and rnanagement and perhaps even the labour union leaders may be playing a smart passing game. po any of these groups want an increase in the price of grain? rain Itg a prices increase due to ekports the price of practically all food' stuffs will have to increase. If this happens, inflation will be an even more serious problem for government, perhaps even forcing f. price and wage controls. Perish the thought, but it might even force profit restrictions. Government could hardly be expected to risk all that money! It would certainly affect government tax income and •. could it interfere with campaign fund "donations". . • Ma:nagement would be faced with increased costs and believe it or not; .price can reduce sales. For much the same reason labour =leaders don't want higher food costs because lack of sales could 'mean more unemployment which means a reduction in union dues. : CoUld it" just. happen that our grain salesmen (if we have any 'oversold by a rnonths shipment?

Let's hope that western farmers don't fall for this one and that the rest of us don't fall for the promotion that we should be net ex- porters of beef and thereby drop our price by $6 percwt. • Continued from Page 1 Council approved a drainage works petition signed by Robert Kinsman, Orval Cooper, James Chalmers, Rodger Hoornaert, E. McKay all of RR 2, Kippen on Concessions 9, 10. Fred Lithgow of Egrnondville requested an extension to Second St. in Egrnondville.
