Farm Joys In
JULY AND AUGUST are joyous months on
the farm, full of the joy of giving the last ounce
of effort one can wring from a body driven
from daylight to dark, according 'no John
Atkins in his "The Scene from Shingwauk
Farm." The , mosquitoes go with the blackflies
and: advice on how to farm comes with the
city visitors.
Kindly and carefree vacationers revel in
the sun of the beaches and the shade of the
Woods. Their laughter lightens the day and
their music shatters the night. The glorious%
dawn that calls farm folk to work lights the
whoopee -makers to their beds. The gates they
leave open start the amusing game of finding
the livestock which scatters around the country -
aide for miles. The scent of new -mown hey
sends poets into raptures and farm boys into
the sweat baths of steaming . mows.
The hundreds of millions of 'dollars of
loss through drought are accepted phdlosoptfic-
ally by visiting city -slickers who .are threaten-
ing to strike and tie up the railroads and the
July and August
packing plants if they 'do not, get one or two.
months more holidays with pay by a reduc-
tion of, their working hours by four or eight
a week.
A preview of harvest tells the farm fam-
ily what to expect for its year's labor. In
many cases a year's work, in addition to some
expenses taken from savings, has been_ lost
and the budget is pared to bare needs and
money -saving equipment. Mother decides to
make do with the old hand washing machine
and to postpone installation of hydro for an-
other year. Decisions are reached about
whether it will be possible to send Jimmy to
agricultural college in the fall or to let Mary
go on with higher studies in music. Plans
for holidays are cancelled.
Despite their toil . •and losses, the farm
people of Canada have the joy of knowing
• . that while they are getting less and less for
more and more work, those who share the
work of Canada with them will be getting
more and more for less and less, "The Scene
points out.
All -Time High Expected
Eiakht persons were killed in, tr c ac -
dents on the last major holiday weekend, Do-
minion Day. The traffic this weekend is ex-
pected to be even heavier with far greater
risk of accident. Highway driving will be
safer for motorists if they plan alternative
routes or change their time of departure to
avoid congestion. Highway Department em-
ployees and contractors have been working
at speed to complete key repairs and put con-
struction work into shape for the holiday.
THOUGHT FyOR TO-DAYTAll progress is
based upon a universal Innate desire on the
part of every organism to live beyond its
income.
AN ALL-TIME HIGH in motor traffic is
likely over the coming Civic Holiday weekend,
and with it a great increase In the danger
of traffic accidents.
The' year's peak in Ontario's tourist travel
from. the United States, probably the largest
in our history, comes at the same time as the
year's peak in holiday travel by Ontario people
themselves. Province -wide, there are factories
and places of business closing for holidays. Add
to these vacationists, the crowds that will go
on long weekend trips over the Civic Holiday
and you have a traffic situation that requires
more rigid enforcement of regulations and more
care and courtesy by every driver than at
any other time of the year.
