' 1 V Man Power Program —•— i s The mobilization of human re- e sources, of totapl ar and woman for a total war effort is far r. more more complicated than is yet general- ( ly realized. It is not merely a question I of raising men for the army, which was the main problem in the last war. a It should not be forgotten that Canada has only eleven and a half s million people, of whom a consider- h able proportion are children or old t] people who cannot engage in active n service.

V Federation Holds First Field Day The Townships of'Colborne, Gode- rich and Stanley Federations of Agin - culture held' their first field day pic' nic in Jowett's, Grove Bayfield Sat- urday. - June 20th. Not -with -stand- ing the seasonal urgency of farm work, there was a large crowd Pres- ent, and while many local farmers were unable to attend, this was amply made up by people who came from great distances. The federation .had the good for- tune to secure as guest, and speaker for the day the president ,of the Can- adian Federation of Agriculture, Me. H. H. Hannan of Toronto, who, while a stranger to most of the as- sembled gathering, soon established himself as one with all, by his af- fable and genial nature. Other• 'speakers of, the day were:. County President, Mr. A .W. Morgan and Mr. James Shearer of Clinton. Races opened the day of fun and first prizes were giveni.to all winners; all contestants were liberally treated o ice cream. The results of the aces were girls' 6 and under Marjory Willard; boys .6 and ,under, Donald Welsh; .girls 6-9, Joyce Grigg; boys -9, Wayne Tuckey; ;girls 9-12 Gram. Steep; boys 9-12, Donald Kernighan; l girls under 15, Louis Middleton; boys under 15, Donld Kernighan; young ladies, Grace Steep; young men, Dun- can McBwan; young ladies three leg- ged, Phyllis' and Dorothy Ginn; young men obstacle race. Albert Steep; clothes pin race, Hellen Montgomery; rolling pin contest, Mrs. Bill Hayter. About 4 P.m. the speaking began, amplified my Daly's Radio Service of Seaforth. The 'strain's• of the.Maple Leaf Forever, filled the arboreal June air and floated westward over the waters of lake Huron. Mr,'Murray Grainger of Stanley, chairman for the occasion welcomed all present and called on the president, Harold Mont gomery of Goderich Twp. and Mr. Kernighan, president of Colborne Township who each extended a word leiwelcome. Mr. James Shearer of Clinton stressed the need for harvesting and saving all the crops. He cited the work done by the town people of Hen - Sall and Exeter in aiding the farmers in the sugar beet planting; and that this example can well be followed out throughout Ontario during the har- vest. al vest. He wished the federation a happy future, Mr. Shearer was fol- lowed by a short address from Mr. A. W. Morgan, County President, who spoke of his visits to farmers throughout Huron and that he al- ways found them at home. and that farmers were : entitled to a holiday Mr. Herbert Hannam was then intro- duced by Mr. Morgan. Mr. Hannam, physically is not a ,standout, and one must look for him in a crowd as: he is' rather short and ;stocky in build. He is' a quiet man- nered person, with unreserved"friend- liness, and you might find ,yourself walking arm in arra with him though never having met him before. He is, as all soon found out an accomp- lished speaker, a liberal minded stu- dent of farm and labor .problems, of the day.' Mr. Hannam opened his address with' a joke which occurred at a far- mer's meeting he was asked to et - tend at Peterboro, `fourteen years ago. A year later he received a let- ter from the Peterboro farmers which 'suggested if he knew of anoth- er speaker or whether they would have a speaker or just let the people enjoy themselves. Mr. Hannam congratulated the Federation upon the idea of organiz- ing township and county units and soon, which he said isthe proper way. He spoke of the older farm organization leaders of 30 years ago, who were present, and,that their ef- forts had not been in vain. But that it was the •proper idea to have one farmer's union and not lie split into groups. In referring to agriculture's place in the war program. he said that the war formulated the'policies adopted by the government toward ` agricul- ture. That with the least possible help the farmers were doing the larg- est job ever clone in Canada.-' That the war measures of the price wage and control board was fixing our in THURS., JUNE 25, 19212. What It Means To Belong To A Reserve Unit In trines of national emergency there comes to every individual a maze of conflicting thought in relation to his or her part in the country's program. ,Thousands of women throughout the land have found expression of this inner consciousness by their support to the Red Cross. They feel to be a tangible part of a: great army, dedica- ted to help the suffering, the wounded, the distressed, the under- nourished. all as a result of the ravages of war. And so a measure of relief is afforded them,'in the actual knitting of socks, sweaters, the packing of boxes, the -sorting of blankets or preparing of band- ages. All this adds up _ to, "My Part," "My Contribution." In spite of all the things that may have been done wrong, all ,the mis- takes that have occured, the mass of conflicting opinions, parliamen- tary debates and discussiores; our nation as a whole,: is playing a magnificieet part as a sister Dominion in a great Empires, whose flag has flown os a symbal of freedom and justice for over seven hundred years. Hence -to each one must come the urge to play some part outside the daily routine of business or factory. The Reserve Army of Canada offers the opportunity to thousands of men who cannot join an active force or place their full time in a military 'capacity, to prepare themselves for the crisis if it should come to these North American shores. It is the personal satisfaction of a voluntary contribution that cannot be measured in, terms of money or material wealth. Many are serving full time on the land, our older children have oragnized into groups and are sacrificing their precious holiday periods to gather eta the vital crops, so badly need- ed at this time. Youngwomen are enrolling with various corps and auxilliary forces to play their part in the nation's contribution. And so the record is being written in countless homes across this Do- minion. All represent sacrifice in time, education and material gain. Today, tomorrow and in the years to come; the knowledge that duty was placed before personal convenience and comfort. will•be a sustaining satisfaction to the individual who will live in community with his fellow men. CANADA'S RESERVE ARMY NEEDS MEN AND NEEDS THEM s NOW. This is a simple statement of fact, without a play on words or the coaxing skill of an advertisement. The result of your derision 'don mean a great deal to your personal satisfaction in the years that lie ahead. Many years ago, the great Scottish poet, Robert Burns, in a few words, summed up the philosophy of this appeal, "Thine own reproach, alone do fear."

He fee that Agriculture has been called up to sacrifice mast; and while the coun try is enjoying the greatest national income it ever had, the farm peopl prevented from sharing in thi prosperity, because .of the fixing the price ceiling, while, agricultur prices were far below the price manufacture goods -outside of those who give their sons and daughters in actual service the farmers suffer most. During the last war priees-were al lowed to 'rise and farmers could get farm.help and pay the Price for it and compete in the labor market. But be- cause prices have been set so dis- advantageous for the farmer, now he cannot. Actually the price centre was in operation as much. as two years ago to hold farm prices down, but .allowed fanners cost to rise. He claims the manufacturer receives a satisfactory margin of profit above costs and that labor wage rate was set at the 1926 level with a guaran- teed living bonus: There for actually e we have two price ceilings, one for the farmer, and one for the labor, and the wartime manufacturer. Mr. Hannam referred to the recent meeting of the milk producers at the Crystal' 'Ball Room in Toronto. He said. because of the blundering pol- icies of the price control board, the country was faced with a strike of milk producers. That a strike motion was voiced and seconded but fortunat- ely did not carry. Yet he contend'c that the farmer has the same rightsas has labor, but net in war time is this to be considered. Yet after the war the time may come when we will have to strike to obtain a fair deal. mus 'the price of beef was much better in • es the U.S. the Canadian producers ex- t ported a great deal of his fat cattle, - that could have been available for the is Canadian market. That the price and on wage board expected winter fed cattle - I could be produced at the same pricer as grass cattle -•Mr. Donald Gordan le ' said. "Do anything you like, but you cannot change beef prices." yet he did of that very thing and prices on winter e I cattle was moved up. Through the of 1 efforts of the federation with the price board, cattle quotas to the U.S, was left unchanged and a price raise was effected. There is no ceiling on !war supplies to the army. The pack- - 1,ers recognize no ceiling when supply- ing „beef to camps. Yet goods from farm to war industries has a ceiling. He 'states in the face of a butter shortage that they refuse to I.move prices up, yet the contract for 1 ) cheese will be overfilled early and then a slump in cheese price, Butter should be 70 higher and so make it more worth while to make butter. Mr. Hannam predicts the butter price will go up 10c. Mr. Hannam feels that Ottawa should cooperate' with federation leaders who better understand farm conditions, but they won't act until there is a row. "We should not have 'to litigate over prices," He states that now there is a better feeling at Ottawa toward the federation and they actually come for consultations on farm matters. He predicts an actual food shortage 'next winter at least a danger of this. We cannot produce with procbsetion costs. Mr. Hannam concluded his talk on the splendid growth of the federation "Six years ago there was no national organiza- tion. At that time a movement was set up to organize farmers into one union. The results are far beyond any expectation, a transformation of the country, a grand response to the Federation idea has swept the coun- try." People who say farmers can't stick and won't organize were all wrong:" "While there may be some fair weather friends, yet the union is definitely an established organize- tion." "When we formerly went to Ottawa we felt like poor relations, but not now, now we are welcome." "When we have one union, we will have respect and command respect at Ottawa" Mr. Hannan finished his address with a word' for the growth of "Coop," and that farmers must prove ito ownership . and control of farm business. That we are entering a new age, the age' of the common man. We will control things for the ,oammon benefit Upon ' the conclusion of Mr. Han- nan/1'e address, Murray Grainger rose and called for a vote of thanks to Mr. Hannam, and announced the receipt of donations from Red. Star Gas Co.,. George Beatty, Varna; -Canada Pack ere, Clinton; Ladies of Gederieh Twp. and J. •Cornish, Brucefield. While the ladies were preparing the supper a tug-of-war between teams rof Goderich Twp. and Stanley Twp. was held. The latter winning.' There- after, a team from the Radio School' of Clinton, took on the Stanley team, an'd pulled them to a finish. At the eonolusion a pair of young igs were raffled. 'the pigs were wore by Mrs. Sloan Smith, of Bayfield. Mr. Hannam •claims the price ceil- ing was necessary because of too much money to spend and not enough goods to purchase,: -which results in inflation. Therefore why not give the farmers' costs of production and their fair share of national. income. In- crease in farm goods would be the' result, while, because of a shortage of funds with the farmer he is unable• to produce'fully. He claim's its rotten and, unreasonable, and unjust to ex- pect woman and children on farms to help in a bountiful harvest and then when plenty is produced to hold farm prices down'.. At Ottawa they take a large supply as a just excuse to; hold prices of farm goods down. Mr. Han- nam here referred to Mr. Henry Wal - lace's farm policy as being just. He quoted from the Iowa Farmer Jour- -nal edited by Henry Wallace in 1928. Mr. Walalce states that farmers suf- fer most during depressions. because of low prices they have greater indeb- tedness. The, country • Could have gained' snore says Mr. Hannam if price ceiling had not been put on un- til farm prices were on par with other•. groups', Oland Wikard he referred to as a real dirt farmer, who followed the policies of Henry Wallace, and who have permitted to agriculture a much more favored position than has been the case in Canada: Mr. Hannam refereedto the beef shortage. That this was somewhat the result of the short sighted admin-' p istration at Ottawa. That because
