A Billion A Year
SOCIAL WELFARE of all kinds is now
costing the Canadian people $1 billion a year,
states The Financial Post. This is roughly
equivalent to the entire pay of half a million
people working throughout the year, at $1
an hour. •
This fact was one of many almost equally
startling hi a recent address by Hon. Paul
Martin.
Half a million people represents about
one-tenth of the entire labor force of the
country. The Minister of Health and Welfare
used the illustration to impress upon his aud-
ience that social security measures are paid
for by the work of the people. If we want
more social welfare—and Mr. Martin assumes
T
r
that further developments are inevitable—we
ourselves are going to have to pay for them
out of income from work.

FEDERATION NEWS
(By GORDON M. GREIG,
Secretary -Treasurer and
Fieldman)
Huron County Federation of
Agricilture extends congratula
tions to W. V. Roy, our former
secretary, who during a life in-
surance sales campaign in May,
sold more Co-operative .life in-
surance than any other Co-op
agent in Canada. a
The Dairy Farmers of Canada
campaign to raise funds for ad-
vertising dairy products is pro-
gressing favourably..•. Very few
farmers have actually refused to
go along with the idea of deduct-
ing one cent: per pound of :butter-
fat produced in June to be used
for advertising dairy products,
such as butter, milk, cheese and
ice cream. As was to be ex-
pected, some farmers refused to
contribute their share. If every-
one had paid up without a kick,
we would 'think something was
wrong. It always has been a
farmer's privilege to disagree with
any commodity group if he so
desires. That is,.democracy at its
best.
Farmers and Butter
While on the subject of dairy
products, we hear at lot about a
non-dairy product being used by
farmers who sell their cream to
the creamery and take' home a
conglomeration of vegetable oils
to be used by their ownfamily
in place of butter.
The cream producers' organiza-
tion in Huron County is making
a canvass of the entire farm area
to try and get accurate figures
on how manyfarm people .act-
ually are using a substitute for
butter. This is 'a general canvass
and' no personal record is being
kept so when the canvasser calls
at your home give him an accurate
statement.

Cash Needed Quickly?
Don't Sell Your
Bonds
You may need cash in a hurry,
and think of selling your bonds
to meet that need. But bonds
that have been caved for over
the years are often pretty hard
to replace.
And there are batter ways of
raising the money. Here's what
William H. Robinson, manager of
the local branch of the Bank of
Montreal, suggests, "If you want
money for a good purpose, pay
us a call at the B of M. Your
bonds will serve as security for
one of our 'low-cost personal
loans, and will assure you an
appreciably lower rate of interest
than for a loan without such
security. As a matter of fact,
the interest on the bonds very
nearly covers the interest on the
loan."
B of M personal loans can be
repaid in easy, regular instal-
ments. By making use of this
service, when you need cash in a
hurry, you will protect that re-
serve fund you're building for
the future. The next time you
need money on short notice talk
to Mr, Robinson. 25-b
