Considerable talent had • 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.

OBITUARY No Permit Required 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. stio GAI N PIG STARTER, It's no exaggeration to say that the pig is the fastest growing farm animal.
