The Air Force Is
CANADA WILL STAKE her future defence
on air power. It was Ithe decision to go in
heavily, for alb power that dominated the
whale speech' of . Dertence Minister Claxton ,tn
the House of Coamnons Tuesday night, when
he advanced a $5,000,000,000 three-year defence
propane -rte.
There wil be a drive to build up a 40 -
squadron edr` force -eleven to be posted to
Europe -dor air pewee will make Canada's
most substantial contribution to Europe be-
cause there it is "esperaielly needed."
Mr, Claxton said the RCAF would be
authorized to spend twloe as much as the
other services, and would soon piece at Gen.
Eisenhower's dispsoaa in Europe a wing of
three fighter squadrons. The first squadron
now is In Faigland.
• Within the three-year period the 40 reg-
ular and reserve --squadrons will have more
than 3,000 aircraft additional to those now in
use, The eleven squadrons will be equipped
with F865 Sabre -and CF 100 Clamiek aireraft.
"To support ahem there will have to- be
a supply lane of reserve aircraft, depots, team-
ing establishments and so on," Mr. Claxton
explained. "The Air Force participation in the
integratd force will require •a very large
Paying . ARig Role
poa+tion of our total detente budget"
A screen of stations with the latest and
most powerful radar• app'aratis is being built
in Canada and will make up one-quarter of
a joint Canada -United States warning network
backed by fighter squadrons,
The air dievelopmenit - the outstanding
featdre of the whole thinng Will. in time
make the air force bigger than the army is
now, with regular and reserve squadrons be -
lag formed as fast as planes can be produced.
There now are three reguler and 12 reserve
squadrons, better than one-third of the
obj votive.
. ,Caniada's air . training facilities are being
expanded to train more than 3,000 'ear crew-
Canadian and European -a year. It will cost
Canada $64,500,000 in the next fiscal year
staeting April 1 to, provide training for At-.
mantic Pact airmen.
It is a vast programme for Canada to
undertake In air defence, but we believe it
will pay off in the end.
Naturally, aotivity at RCAF Stations, such
as Clinton and Centralia, will have to be step-
ped up very greatly to assist in handling the
situation, Already, there are more than signs
of such activity in this sector,'
Who In The World Are "They"?
"THEY" OUGHT TO DO THIS; "they"
ought to do that! There are plenty of people
isi Clinton and other towns and cities and
rural areas throughout Canada who express
themselves in aro uncertain terms on an in-
finite variety of matters:' Always, it is "they"
who should look' into the situation and correct
it at • once.
It could be that governments - w'hether
municipal provincial or federal -are involved
someriow. By taking the attitude that "they"
should be rgsponsible for everything, we
shuffle off any feeling that we, personally,
are responsible in any way to see to it that
things are ticcomplished, a CWNA editorial
points out. .
Every day we hear such questions es:
Why don't "they" bring. more industries to
town? Why don't "they" keep the streets
clean? Why don't "they" do something about
the cost of Evans, the housing situation, the
roads, the sidewalks, the appearance of the
town? Why dont "they" do this, do that, do
the other thing? The list could go on ad
nauseam.
The "they attitude is symptomatic of the
"leave it to George" idea that seeing to be
prevalent . 611 over the country. _
Instead of `they", it should be "we" and
then let "we" go ahead and get things done.
Nothing is impossible if "we" really want
it and go after it. How? By thinking and
planning and working together, by putting
our best effort into any project we want car-
ried out.
What every part of Canada needs is a
lot more "we" and a lot less "they".
Defence Costs Soar
IT'S GOING TO COST Canadians more
to keep the peace, predicts The Financial Post,
"The new 'three-year figure ,of $5 billion's
means we now plan on spending in peace (or
half -peace), almost one -.third of our totes
dollar outlay for World War II (about $16
billions; with postwar rehabilitation, recon-
version, about $20 Wiens).
• "This vast program means a levy of
around $357 on every man, woman and child
in the nation. Figure- aneaverageof three to
a family. That's $1,000 for every Canadian
family over the next three years. And that's
before all-out war,
"The impact of this colossal preparedness
program, as Defence Minister Claxton warned
recently, is going to hit hard et every section
of the community and the economy. There
can't be 'business as usual' any longer."

Federation Of Agriculture News
(By Gordon M. Greig, secretary-fieldman, Huron County Federation of Agriculture)
Dairy Meeting Held
A meeting of dairy groups and
other farm organizations in Hur-
on . County was held in Clinton.
on Friday aliternoont February
2. The meeting was called to
discuss the present position 'of
the dairy industry and to make
plans for supporting the Ontario
Dairy Co-ordinating Board and
the Federation of Agriculture in
theirits
efforts to improve the
position of 'our industry. Theee
was also a discussion relatingsto
ammendments to the Farm Prod-
ucts Marketing Act.
Representatives at the meeting
were from the following Huron
County organuzatbnns: Huron
County Federation of Agriculture,
Fluid • Milk Producers, Concent -
•ranted Milk Producers, Cream Pro-
ducers, Cheese Producers, Hog
Producers, Junior Fanners, and
members of the Huron County:
Farm Forum Cbminitbae.
Substitutes
Hugh Hi11, Colborne Township,
who recently ettended the Dairy
Farmers of Canada 'annual meet-
ing et .Winnipeg, gave the gath-
ering an outline of the discussion
that took place at • the conven-
tion at Winnipeg regarding sub-
stitutes for dairy products. He
pointed out that the provinces
that have a ben on the'manufac-
ture' and sate - of substitutes for
dairy products intend: to retain
that han. The Dairy Farmers of
Canada are willing to suppoet in
every way any organization that
will try end secure a similar ban
in any other ,province. The Do-
minion organization are also on
record' as favouring Federal re-
strictions on imported oils khat
go into the manufacture and sake
01 such substitute products.
Our large cream producing
farm population rbhat has around
70,000 farmers 1n the Province of
Ontario is competing for markets
with about four large manufac-
turing concerns. The investment
made by those 70,000 farmers in
land, stock and equipment is
enormous in comparison with i the
costs that the fcu • r main manu-
facturing
facturing concerns have to face.
They cannot compete in the price
field with a product that comes
out of tank oars. If the dairy
industry is worth saving it has
to be done now and not a year
or two years hence,
Balanced Farming
There is elso the question of
conservation and balanced farm-
ing to be considered. This prac-
tice of balanced teeming with a
view to maintaining soils for
future production has been stres-
sed by both the .Dominion and
the Provinelal Departments of
Agricutt'ure. Livestock must be
maintained at a level much high-
er than has been kept in the past
few years .if we are to keep our
soils in good productive condi-
tion. Grasses are very necessary
to our soils fertility and stability.
The cow is the best way to
tranafer these grasses into food
for human consumption. Besides
beef you have milk, cream, but-
ter, cheese; and all your con-
centrated milk prodttots from
this one source, If the dairy end
of this industry is . disrupted it
is going to put the entire system
of farrning out 01 balance. The
income of the ,dafr•y industry was
down 18 per cent for 1951. Stop
and figure out how niucli less
money was . available .in your
community due to that decline.
11 the dairy industry is worth
saving it must bo done now.
