E. ixIadldy, ,president, Ladies' Auxiliary, • Canadian Legion, Clinton, with 'tike Gial Guides in; +an active rale, it might be well to remember that the peacetime 'au- tivibies of 'the Navy League of 'Canada are inoreasixng -arid that its opportunities for service are unlimited. For more than half a century, it has been tlh eofffcaall a gency deal - big with the men of the sea. . The Navy League operates clubs ,and hostels at the principal ocean ports where merchant ,seamen •aavd naval ratings are malde welcodne, 'while ashore. When a seaman is swatting this Ship, `h:e finds homelike surroundings in Navy League centres, and he knows that kindly nursing care !awaits him M the 'sick bay if he requires medical sat tentt on. 'Canada's position, as an exporting nation, le of vital ilnpoiitance to every citizen. 'Accordin'g to the De- partment of Trade and Commerce, "foreign trade creates one-itlh ad of ialil Canadian jobs, builds 'once -third of our home as,arket's, and provides one-third of every dollar you make". The read meaning of this lies in the faot that we are dependent upon the merc+hanit seamen who man the -ships that carry the .merchandise to ,and from the 'markets of The world. Through its educational services, 'the Navy League makes Canadians 'conscious of their dependence upon the •sea, and in addition, spoxnsors a nationwide youth training programme that gives guidance to many thousands of 'teen age boys through the Sea Caldet movement. A generous response on Saturday will assist the League to !meet its responsibilities on 'behalf of the men of the sea and the youth of Canada. 0 0 0 t,''•_. ' COLD CASH FOR FARMERS — WILL IT KEEP COMING? LONG overdue, theflow .of cold hard cash into the pocket's of Canada's farmers reached itis peak during the first six months of 1944 when the amount topped $766,000.000. The 'total hes continued at a high level ever gnce, and laltesst figures dasued by the Dominion: Bureau of Statistics show that $753,900,000 — or nearly as mach as three years ago — Ovals recoived from ;the 'sale of farm products and from supplementary payments during the Bret half of 1947. Incidentally, this is a ,gains of 17 per cent over the corresponding period of 1946, when it was $647,100,000 and compares with $731,000,000 in 'the corresponding peried of 1945. • Cash income from the sale of grains and other field crops is estimated at $215,000,000 for ith first half of 1947, mere than 40 per cent above_ ,the $150,000,000 realized 'dut•• ing the same period a year earlier. Cash income of $464,- 000,000 from the sale of .livestock and livesltock products, whllcdr 'accounts for about 60 per cent of the total east income so far this year, ds approximately eight per cent above (the Cash income from this source during the first half of 1946. Reduced income from the sale of cattle, calves, sheep end lambs, is more than offset by the cash imlcome increases from the sale of hogs, dairy. products, Poultry and eggs. Naturally, everyone hopes that !this high income received by ,agriculture in Canada Win 'continue, for the agg'rdoulttural industry is the bedrock of the nation.There- fore, the farmers themselves, through their own organi- zations and boards, shoulii do everythr' •sig in their power to See that "floor" prices, at elast, are maintained, so that chaos for agriculture and the country as a whole, may be avoided. In addition, the highest quiality and service must be maiim'tai'med if Canada IS to hold her plaice it world markets, and ibbiialt is really the crux of the situaibion, If ever en'ligh'tened fartni organization rwork needed to be developed in Canada, it is now!

Coultes Urges Grain Subsidies Stay Maintenance of price ceilings on meat products and -continuation of western feed grain ,subsidies are ask- ed in a resolution' passed Thursday by the directors of the Ontario Fed- eration of Agriculture meeting in To. routs. "Britain needs food, and Canada has entered into certain commit- ments," said C. R. Coultes, Beigrave, who moved the resolution. "We can't produce livestock without feed grain." Kenneth Betzner, Waterloo, said he believed that if meat ceilings were removed, feed grain subsidies would he discontinued and grain ceilings probably weuld be removed. "That might mean oats at $1,10 a bushel and barley at $1.50," he -said! Farmers must decide whether they want a continuance of feed grain subsidies or higher -priced grabs and hope to be able to sell their animal products without loss." - Presenting Morithuj by 19.2talta 1I46 rINEST ttiv 41.
