For more than half a century, it has been fih eoffmcaall a gamy deal- is g with the men of the sea. The Navy League operates clubs 'and hostels at the ltrincipal ocean ports where merchant seamen and naval ratings are made welcoine, while ashore. When a 'seam'an. is arwaitting hits ship, he finds homelike ,surroundings in Navy League centres, and he knows that kindly nursing veare awaits hint in the sick hay if he -requires medical 'attention. 'Canada's position, as an exponitaing nation, is of vital importance to every citizen. `According to the De- partment of Trade and Commerce, "foreign trade 'creates one-third of al Canadian jobs, 'builds one-third of our home nnarket's, and provides one-third of every dollar you make". Phe renal meaning of this lies in the faot that we are 'dependent upon the merchant 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, sponsors a naJtioniwi!de youth training programme that gives guidance to many thousands of 'teen age boys through the Sea Oaidet movement. A generous response on Saturday will assist llhe League to meet its responsibilities on ebehalf of the 'nen sof iihe sea and the youth of Canada. © © 0 r— ' COLD CASH FOR FARMERS - WILL IT KEEP COMING? LONG overdue, the flow of cord chard oasth into the pockets of Canada's farmers reached its peak during the first six month's of 1944 when the amount tapped $766,000.000. The total has continued at a high devvel ever since, ,and latest figures cis'sued by the Dominion Bureau of Sbaltistics show that $753,900,000 — or nearly as much as three years ago — was received from the sale of farm products 'and from supplementary payments during the first 'half of 1947. Incidentally, this is !a gain 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 period of 1945. Cash income from the sale 'of grabs and other field crops is estimated at $215,000,000 for th first half of 1947, more than 40 per cent above 'the $150,000,000 realized dur- ing the same period a year earlier. Cash income sof $464,- 000,000 from the sale of livestock amid Wesfto'ck products, whit accounts for about 60 per cent of the tdtal oa>sh income so far this year, is 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 and lambs, is more than offset by the easlh income increases from the sale of hogs, dairy products, poultry and eggs. Naturally, everyone hopes that This high income received tby ,agriculture in Canada will continue, for the agricultural industry is the 'bedrock of the nation. There- fore, the farmers themselves, through (their own organi- zations and boards, should do everytihihvg in their power to 'see that "floor" prices, at &est, are maintained, so that chaos for agriculture and the country as a whale, may be avoided. In addition, the highest quality and service must be nnaiurbaained 'if Canada is to hold her place it world markets, and that is really the crux of the situatiion. Tf ever enlightened farm organization work needed to be developed in Canada, it is slow'. Leadeies in the +agrilcul- turaa hidusPtry thorugh'out Canada have la tremendous re•- sponei(bilnity on their shoulders—and so too has every indi- vidual farmer, no matter how 'simian! or how large. O 0 EDITORIAL COMMENT THOUGHT FOR TODAY — The thing generally raa'sed on city land is taxes. © 0 O - 2,360,500 people are a lot of people! But that's how manly attended (the Canadian'National Exhibition in Toronto, which closed 'Saturday, creating Ian a -tbihne re- cord. The 'previous record was made in 1928 when the total was 2,039,-000. The 'arousal report of !Canada Packers Limited for the year ended March 27, 1947, has just reached our desk. It is significant that hi sales totalling more than $209,- 000,000, the net profit from operations was less than one per cent. © 0 0 Although Town Council Monday evening decided to defer further consideration of signal lights at the main business corner of Iiie town, which its the intersection of King's Highway 4 and 8, en account of the initial cost in. is (heavy year, there is 'no reason to tha'hvk that the pro- ject has' been dropped alt'oge'ther.

R. Coulter, Belgrave, 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 be discontinued and grain ceilings probably would 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 grains and hope to be able to sell their animal products without loss," P.r esentmg Moinin S1n1° by 0M1,446/11r#, THE faHIST SlLVeRPL AT,.
