But Wei take a quick leak 'today at the difference: be-
tween Cearitrychildren and city children,'
A feviyears- age, I spenta pleasant afternoon with a
farmer. hilluten County., I was intrviewinghim on the
high-haded- methOds used. by Ontario Hydro in acquiring
land fora hydroine.
wii011 feeling well, he told -me. He was resting for
the day, fighting a cold and the flu, His attractie, busy
• wife,wai deeply involved in the conversation although she
kept :riht,' on ironing:and preparing the Supper for her
familythroughout.the conversatiOn.
ftortlyafter:4 o'clok, the two older boys Of the family
cattle trouping in from the high school' bus.. They gave a
cheery /reefing, asked their fattier be* he was feeling,
Learned he was stilt under -the -weather, chatged clothes
and disappeared tuthe barn. . •vo -
Almost .two hours later. I left by the summer kitchen
after declining a sincere invitation to stay for the evening
meal, Which is an indication of the friendliness of rural
people. I was -a perfect stranger until two hours before
"that.
On the,Way to the car; 1 stothied into the barn because
farming and faint animals have always fascinated me,
The„two teen-agers were cheerfully doing the chores,
working.like 'grown men. They had milked 40 cows, fed
500 chickens,two saddle horses, the barn cats and the dog.
As :well,. they had cleaned stables, thrown down enough
feed for the next morning and had that :milking parlor as
clean. as cellophane. the equipment shiny as newly -mint-
ed quarters.
This anecdote is not an isolated case; Thousands It farm
children, rnanyjgactryouoger Ulan &those mentioned, have
daily chores on the farm that would be appalling to mist
ditychhcrea.L:

Duriag Christraas Week, :1 heard one teen-ager argue
• for 20. minutes with his "mother when asked to take two
bags Of garbage to the front walk for.pick-up tie next day.
He complained. it was too heavy, then it was too cold out-
side, thea he didn't have proper snowboots. Finally, his
disgusted ntiother lugged the bags from the basement to
the front doer where the teen-ager finally but reluctantly
grumbling :every step of the way, tot& the bags to the
frontwalk.
I know. This is an isolated case and most young people
will accept responsibility When necessary. But I still be-
lieve farm children deserve a special niche in the hearts
of Canadians for the work they do on a family farm.
Hutidredsof fainily farms in this province would be out
of business without the help of the family. I know of a cath
crop farmer whose Wife and teen -aged daughter become
his best — and only — field hands during the harvest sea-
son. He purposely makes his bales smaller, therefore light-
er, so his wife and daughter can handle them.
Farm children, I believe, leagn toleranrce and love ear -
her than city children. Farm ehildren are at 'home with
animals and the vagaries of nature from the time they
learn to walk and talk.*They arecloserto the finer, 7nore
esthetic things of life. They learn resourcefulness early.
They learn what it is like to be alone, to commune with
nature. They learn to respect machinery and use it for
. the benefit of mankind rather than a scourgefor mankind.
Fen farms are as isolated today that farmers and
firm .childreiihave to remain country. bumpkins. They
are as much aware ---perhaps even more aware of what
is ping on around them and .1n the rest of the world as
any city dweller. ;•
