A charge ot bringing liquor into Huron County contrary to the Canada Temperance Act was with- drawn Dungannon Team Best Debaters Here Is the Farm.r's Problem (From The Rural Scene) A correspondent has asked for our analysis. of the farmer's prob- lem. The good farmer's ambition is to hold his land, and to hold it under conditions that make it pro- fitable for him to operate it, and profitable for society to 'allow, him to .do ,so. nom, Ml the land in the world belongs to the human race. The land of a country belongs to its inhabit- ants. • In countries west of the Iron Curtain, society allows the farmers to own their land because it be- lieves that, - as owners, they will make better use of it than they would as tenants or hired workers. But private ownership of land imposes obligations - that must be respected. It obliges the farmer to recognize his responsibility to. supply food to the peolile, and to maintain the. fertility -of the soil. , It obliges society to protect the farmer in his possession of the land, and t� maintain Conditions under which he can be suitably rewarded for his toil. But there are other people in the world besides farmers. There are hand workers, machine operators, clerks, merchants, professional men and a host of others whose interests must not be forgotten, for they also have a right to dwell on the earth.' Many of these, and the farmers also, are organized into groups for the promotion of their own inter- ests, and some of these groups have become very powerful. The two most powerful occupa- tional groups in Canada are the organized labor and organized farmers. Both these groups are powerful enough to command the respect of governments and parliaments; and neither of them hesitates- to ask for legislation it 'thinks Would benefit its particular interests. The farmers ask for monopol- istic control of markets for their products, with power to fix prices on a cost plus basis, and to impose penalties on those who sell else- where. Labor demands compulsory un - I ion membership and payment of dues, and wages based on the de- ! sires of the workers, regardless I of the value of their work. But higher wages for labor mean higher prices for its products; and higher prices for the things the `farmer has to buy mean higher operating costs on the farm i • And higher operating costs on the farm, if followed b ' hi h prices for farm products, would lead to higher living costs for the wage earners. If these two groups' were equally successful in getting what they 'want, neither of them would be able to buy any more of the other's products than he was before they started the spiral of rising wages and rising prices. But they have not been equally successful. Labor has been able to extract more from its employers than the farmers have from the consumers. Consequently the farmer now pays more for what he buys; but he has less with which to pay it. He is beginning to learn that George Turton and Frank -Alton, of the Dungannon district, mem- bers of the Colwanash Junior Farm- ers' 'group, were declared the best debating team St a Huron County debating and public speaking con- test of Junior Farmer and Junior 'Institute organizations, at Seaforth District High School last Friday night. The winners upheld the affirm- ative against an Exeter team "Re- solved that commercialized Sunday sports should,be legalized in Huron County." They were declared the winners because of their debating ability and will meet the Bruce County winning teats on or before December 15, vieing for provincial honors. Jane Dykeman and How- ard Pym composed the Exeter team. In the Howick-Belgrave competi- tion, Campbell Brown. and Grace Edgar, of the Belgrave Juniors won over Donald Dow and Murray • Bradburn, of Idowick, the whiners - upholding the affirmative. Jim Chapman and Earl McSpad- den, -of the Seaforth club, defeated Fred Gibson and George Turner, of Clinton, the winners being on the affirmative side. Honors to the two best individual debaters of the evening went to Jim Chapman. of Seaforth, and Frank Alton, Dungannon. In ..the oratorical contest. with only wo entries, Arnold Alton, of Dungannon. speaking on "Water" defeated' Ruth Keyes. of Seaforth, who spoke on.

Today he' finds that 'his prices are coming down while wage rates ` are still going up, and the unions are marshalling their forces to demand that these higher rates be guaranteed : "the whole Year through, whether there is any work to be done or not. The farmer is alarmed at this prospect, or at least he ought to be. When the spiral of • wages anti prices` was getting under way, a very shrewd observer was asked if he thought it would finally lead to the collapse of agriculture in Canada. He replied: "There will be more danger of a collapse of urban industry; and, if, that hap- pens, agriculture will be reduced to the necessity of scratching the ground for a living." The burdens with which -,;Can- adian industry is being saddled by the demands of labor and of gov- oorgments, are such that unless something is done to stop it, in- dustry is likely to collapse. If labor is too -blind or too will- ful to see where its present polic- ies are leading, the farmers, in their own interests, should vigor- ously oppose these demands that are becoming a threat to the whole Canadian economy. The farmer's problem today is how to produce the crops the world wants, at prices the world can pay: The greatest obstacle in the- way of achieving this, is the high cost of Canadian labor. The farmer's own weakness is that he is allowing visions of high prices to blind his judgment to the realities of the situation, and is wasting his energies running after the gold at the foot of the rainbow, when he should be fight- ing against the excessive demands of the labor unions. • EIectric'Motor Service WINDING & REPAIRING INDUSTRIAL MOTORS A SPECIALTY L.

Breathing furnishes a valuable control for regulating the degree of tension. When a crisis is past, we say we can "breathe easier." But learning to breathe- easier in the first place prevents tension from forming, - Hurry' is one of the major causes of tension.

Kennedy in the Decem- ber Reader's Digest. The author claims that to overcome tension is to find the key to happier living. He has taught his methods of re- laxation to overwrought executive', pilots, and midshipmen. To relax, first locate the tension in your muscles. The muscles of the brow need 'special attention for they are closely associated with anxiety. With the brow relaxed, it is practically impossible to feel worried. Similarly, tensed jaw muscles signal some difficulty or problem to the brain; a relaxed jaw gives a sense of ease and con- fidence. The hands, "main executive„ in- strument of the body," are involv- ed in almost everything we do. Learning to relax the hands, when irritated or in a tight spot, takes the pressure off. - The muscles generally should be. relaxed at midmorning, again just before lunch, and again in mid- afternoon, says this Reader's .Digest article.
