NEV IN THE PU 'NORM N i AttAtt RAG TWO WINGITANI ADVANCE-TINMS Wednesday, February 4th, 194$ t which were vigorously .denouneing the rising -cost of living and the hardship that this involved for all the lower in- come brackets, and who charged that farm. producers were making iinfair undue profits at the expense of urban consumers, pointed out that. farmers are consumers both of family require- ments. and farm supplies and, there- fore, are hit by high prices just as hard, if not harder, than urban consum- ers, Moreover, he said, "organized far- mers have demonstrated to the world that they will support and accept mod- erate prices while world prices are far higher," He continued: "For several genera- tions food p'rices have been relatively low. During war years food prices were controlled at artificially low prices (subsidies). Consumers were therefore educated to expect food products be- low a fair exchange value. If consumers want low food prices while the general price level is high, they can have it only by discriminating unfairly against food producers, In spite of alleged high prices farmers returns are not more than "moderate" today." He also explained that one reason why farmer prices are as high as they are is that all costs of production and costs of living are high and the nation knows that without adequate returns to those who produce food, we would have serious shortages even in Canada. Moreover, this Dominion with all its resources—would fall down shamefully on its moral obligation to help to meet critical food shortages abroad. He made this challenge: "If there are any who think the farmer is getting too much let us have in Canada an official investigation by a Royal Commission into the level of farm prices, wages and business returns (as CFA. asked for last year and the year before) 'We would welcome such an investigation and recommendations by a Commission as to how these returns may be main- tained in balance. That, at least, would be a good starting point," WHITECHURCLI Wingham Advance-Times Published at WINGHAM - ONTARIO W.

Hannan', President of the Canadian Federation recalled that at the first meeting only a dozen years ago, there were then just 15 men in attendance representing six organizations, while today, the Feder- ation speaks authoratively for Ontario agriculture. R. A. Stewart, President of the Ontario Federation, reported 79 affiliate organizations and the list is ever growing. At this year's gathering one new community group was wel- comed in the Cream Producers and during the year two more county org- anizations had become affiliated, The organization of the annual meet- ing was designed for efficiency, Aside from the necessary reports of the Presi- dent and Sec.-Treas., V. S. Milburn, there was just one set address, that of Hassil E. Schenck, President of the Indiana Farm Bureau, the guest speak- er. At least 75 per cent of the time of the two-day convention was given over to free discussion of agricultureal pro- blems and the consideration of resolu- tions that expressed the convictions and demands of the Ontario farmers.

The minutes of the last meeting were read and business arising received at- tention. A letter of thanks from Mrs, Higgins, for .bank -account opened for her baby son, was read. The roll call "A Quality of a Good Neighbour'brought a splendid respon- se from all present. Kindness, toler- ance and thoughtfulness were the pre- dominating qualities. Mrs. John Ncwlone favoured with a piano instrumental which was enjoy- ed by all. Mrs. Miner, guest speaker for the afternoon, spoke on the subject "As the Home so is the Nation." Our country is made up of municip- alities which despite their customs and nationalities, consist of homes. The speaker compared two villages within a radius of twenty-five miles. one -was a religious, thriving commun- ity consisting of churches, schools and other worth-while organizations while the other village was definitely opposite. The credit of the thriving community was given to the pioneers who came in built their churches, schools and prop- erly trained their children. The people are the rocks upon which a nation is built. The nation is a huge wall and the homes are the stones in its struct- ure.. The speaker described different kinds of homes from which children are sent into time truth. The home brok- en by divorce, consequently the child- ren are outcast and placed in institu- tion,. Time home where parents arc con- stantly quarreling the children grow I up with little or no respect for anyone, and no knowledge of the happiness that should be prevalent in a good home, Social Butterflies who are either coining front getting over or going to a party intoxicated leaving children alone are the cause of many of the fire hazards of which we daily read. Parents working although sometimes quite necessary deprive their children of the companionship and guidance which is so necessary. Then there arc the homes where children are not wanted. Here again the children reap the consequences physically and are sent out into the world broken hearted and bitter just for the lack of a little love and under- staBlildeisIgsied is the tuition whose God is Lord. If we loved our neighbours s ourselves we would certainly not place anything detrimental in the path of little children, The fountain of this power is the man we find not in his physical nature not in his mental power but in the poW- er of his soul. The degree of the devel- pment of the life in time Spirit is the exact measure of the nations security and strength. The reward of National righteous- ness is National permanency.

Prices as advertised in the daily \ k Newspapers are also—OUR PRICES J * HIDDEN SALES TAX BOOST PRICES The 8 per cent sales tax is a hidden tax and its worst feature is that it is a pyramiding tax—requently a tax on a tax. For twenty-eight years Canadians have been spending a large part of the household budget on this tax which many never knew existed. The Globe and Mail recently gave an example tin- der "In Case You're Interested" of the way this tax affects the price of a shirt, as follows: A $5 shirt costs the manufacturer $2.80 to make and mar- ket, to which is added a net profit of about 10 cents a garment. This is its price delivered to the wholesaler and here is what happens: Cost to wholesaler, $2.90; wholesale markup (20ci), .58c; sales tax (8%), .23e, making a total cost to retailer of $3.71. Then the retail markup (40%), $1.49 is added, making the cost to con- sumer $5.20. If the sales tax were removed, the etailer's cost would drop from $3.71 eta $3.48 and his 40 per cent markup would amount to $1,39 instead of $1,49, The selling price to consumer would he $4.87 instead of $5:20, Thus, remov- al of a sales tax of 23 cents would rep- resent a saving to the consumer of 33 cents, I- And this is only part of it. A per- centage of the manufacturer's original cost was sales tax. He had to pay 8 Per cent on his machinery, his station. IOU KERR'S DRUG STORE Minimum Prices LILA. Courteous Service.
