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,"

annual convention,Mr. H, H. 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.

ing, of the President, Mrs. Demmer-
- The meeting, with twenty-five mem-
bers and guests present, opened with
the Ode followed by the. Lord's Pray-
er Mrs. Gilmore in charge of the De-
votional period read the one hundredth
Psalm. after which the hymn, "What
a) Friend we Have in Jesus" was sung,
. 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. A nation
should grow us God's kingdom grows
by increasing respect for nit intelligent
loyalty to high tad helpful

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.
