The dearth of employable man-
power, which has reached its peak this
year, looms as a potential threat to the
largest and most profitable market
ever established for Canadian meat.
Shortage of competent help has been
an onerous problem to Canadian
farmers for most pf the war years.
While the situation has been made
somewhat easier, through organized
efforts of both federal and provincial
governments, in enlisting and trans-
porting students and urban citizens to
assist on farms in busy seasons, farm-
ers and their families have toiled gi-
gantically and come through magnifi-
cently, in producing essential food for
the nation in the past four years.
The crop season of 1944 has been,
beyond any doubt, the most difficult
of all for the farmer; still abundant
field and orchard crops have been and
are being successfully harvested and
processed.
Now another problem confronts the
farmer — the growing demand for
Canadian meat created by invading
Allied Armed Forces,- and the starving
millions of liberated countries, has en-
couraged the enterprising and patriotic
Canadian Farmer to raise more and
more live stock to fill both domestic
and export needs.
In 1943, sufficient live stock to pro-
duce one billion 800 million pounds
of dressed and cured meats was raised
in Canada. It seemed a miracle of
production in comparison with even
the increased production of other war
years.. Yet, this year over one and a
quarter billion pounds were produced
in the first six months. The total for
this year should reach over two bil-
lion pounds; an increase of 40% over
1943.
.On Canadian farms today there is
live stock which should be shipped
and processed into a billion pounds of
meats by December 31st of this year.
The only obstacle that can hinder the
fulfillment of that tremendous quota
is Shortage of Men to Operate the
Packing Plants.
Packing Plants of Canada have the
facilities and capacity to meet these
tremendously increased requirements.
They are the key unit in channeling
Canadian live stock as inspected meats
to our vast export ziarket. But they
must have men to operate the plants.
It is urgently essential that Packing
Plants shall keep both slaughter pens
and; farms clear of all available ani-
mats, for several reasons. In the first
Atlate, live stock is marketed when it
:haS reached prime condition. Every
day's delay in shipping or slaughter-
ing means loss to the farmer, as. ani-
mals "go back" from peak condition.
If kept on the farm, delay means in-
creased costs as well.
More significant still, if live stock
is produced faster than it can be
marketed, a surplus is bound to occur.
When supply threa,ens to be greater
than demand, the present desirable and
profitable price structure—and even
the "floor" price—become endangered.
Again, any failure to meet quotas
would imperil the excellent connec-
tions made in the export market and
hopes for maintaining a desirable por-
tion with a return to mOrritalcy.
So Canadian Farmers are faced with
the problem of devoting as much time
as possible this Vail and Winter, in
working in Packing Plants. No other
source of manpower can produce the
required numbers of men.
Ontario Farmers are urged to pro-
teet their own interests by beeonting
employed, at good hourly wages, 1n
any one of Qfitaries18 plants. 'Dans,
porta'tion will be paid and assistance

MODERATOR PREACHED
SUNDAY EVENING
(Continued from page one)
Moderator said, was by persons of a
different color to ours, Indians in
British Columbia in their presentation
of the Passion Play.
Where did Jesus learn to pray?
Jesus was taught to pray at his home
in Nazareth. His mother taught him
the Holy 'Scriptures. His father
taught Jesus his evening prayer and
when Jesus taught his disciples he
said, when you pray say "Our Father".
God picked these parents to have his
only begotten son.
Jesus was honest and upright, not
because he was the Son of God. He
had the will not to sin and prayed day
by day in his childhood for help to
live aright. You are rushed these
days, help is scarce but let us look at
Jesus. He was busy and he was tired
but he went up into the mountain at
night to pray to God.
He told of the trial of the Crucifix-
ion how Jesus stood before the judge
unafraid, He was not nailed to the
cross only for the sins of his time, but
that your sins and mine might be for-
given. It is for the sin of the world
that the war is on is. We have sinned
'against God and we are being brought
to our knees from sorrow and pain.
Let us pray for humility, he said. We
cannot have lasting peace in the world
unless nations and people learn to
pray as Jesus prayed.
Rev. Kenneth MacLean, minister of
the church, conducted the service and
introduced the Moderator to the con-
gregation.
The choir rendered the anthem "The
Sun Shall Shine No Mare" and Mr.
and Mrs. Horace Aitcheson sang "0
Love Divine","
Reception Held
Following the service a reception
was held for, the Moderator in the
Sundiy School room and all were in-
troduced to him. Mrs. Stewart was
with him, she is well known in this
district as her home was at Riverdale.
A large number were present and the
Moderator spoke briefly, Mr. Mac-
Lean told of his knowing Mr. Stewart
when he had the Acton charge. Mr.
MacLean was at Georgetown which
was the first town east of Acton, He
told of the happy relations that existed
between these congregations and
themselVes. The ladies of the church
served a delightful lunch to end this
very pleasant social time.
