ATICEY - - - Editor and Publisher THURSDAY, JUNE 19, 1947 A NATIONAL DAY FOR AGRICULTURE n the light of the .success which attended the I"Salute to. Agriculture" conducted by the Can, adieu Weekly Newspapers Association last year, it was a foregone conclusion that the members of this great national body should repeat the project 'again ,this summer. And we trust that, to some extent at least, this issue of The NEWS RECORD its carrying out its small share of the 'plan. The proposal that this become an annual programme for the weekly newspapers of Canada during the third week of June, its worthy of consideration, according to H. H. Hannam, president and managing director, Canadian Federation of Agriculture, and such a 'project sbould con- tribute materially toward the ultimate ,objective of gaining official recognition ,for a National Day for .agriculture. It might, be mentioned here that Huron County Federation of Agriculture, in 'holding its annual Field Day yesterday—on the third Wednesday im June—is one unit of the national Federation which, in this way, is attenvpt- ing to advance the "national day for agriculture" idea. Through its brilliant president, the Canadian Fed- eration of Agriculture publicly has endorsed the CWNA project again this year, 'and has wished it success. The community weeklies—such as this paper—provide an im- portant link betiween the urban and rural residents of the Dominion. Many of the communities served by the mem- bership of the CWNA are dependent almost entirely upon the {prosperity of the rural areas they serve. Thus, it frequently falls to the lot of the community weekly to interpret the problems of the farmers to the rural residents, and vice -versa. According to Mr. Hannam, in this con ne'otion, the weekly ,newspapers have been generous in their use of the news of farmers' organizations and in their editorial 'int'erpretation of their objectives. The farmers of Canada enjoy the 'satisfaction of ;having achieved a record in organization not equalled in - many lands. Through organization and united effort, they have won for themselves a front seat in the councils of the nation. They have established a case for equality for agri- culture as the only adequate basis for 'a balanced economy. Having 'attained that status. it remiauhis now for the farmers of Canada to measure up to their opportunities -and their responsibilities. It is doubtful if the future ever has been so bright for the organized farriers of Canada, and on the international level, for the farmers of the world, -as it is at the present time. There is a saying that the future belongs to those who are prepared for .It; it seems to 'apply in this case. Whether or not the organized farmers of Canada are prepared and equipped to rise to the Staat reeq remains red of them to take full advantage of this opportunity, to be seen. It will require constructive, informed thinking, the ability and readiness to compromise, and the foresight and courage to pioneer and persist. If farm organizations keep alive and active, re- co'gniltion of a national day for 'agriculture should fol4ow very naturally. The labor movement of Canada has no more right to a recognized `labor day" each year, than the farmers of the nation have a right to expect a national "Farmers' Day." .0 EDITORIAL COMMENT Thought for Today — A man should never be ashamed to own he has been in the wrong, Which s but ut saying, in 'other words, that he is wiser today was yesterday—Alexander Pope. The Town Council might well consider the establish- ing of a municipal garbage service. The present system has many drawbacks. , The success of Air Force Day, Clinton RCAF Station, last Saturday is a tribute to the fine spirit of co- operation exioting between liihe 'service pe'r'sonnel and civil- ians of the community. ©• The NEWS -RECORD would appreciate advertisers, correspondents and other contributors getting their copy in early for next week's issue with the deadline Tuesday neon, June 24.
