Fire Chief Scott
For School Safety
• Seaforth's fire chief, Jack
iSeott, last fall expressed con-
cern at the 'lack of interest in
'Meat he considers a serous fire
hazard in rural schools. The See -
forth News priinted his views at
the time and subsequently the
Interview was reprinted to the
daily press and apparently has
been nuking a leisurely round of
the weekly papers with some
surprising variations, 0?i•re Chief
Scott has been reported as
. "Clinton" fire chief and more
recently we notice he is now
classed as "County" fire chief.
Though the original source of
the item has got lost in the pass-
ing of the item from one paper
to another, the main idea still
is intact and Fire Chief Scott
will find it gratifying that the
district press has given hint suet'
excellent helping hand in his ef-
forts to make rural schools
safer,
Mr. Stott, as Seaforth fire
chief. is also in charge of Sea -
forth Rural Fire .tree, which is
the reason he is interested- in
rural schools.

Mr, Phelps said, "I am no
stranger to Ontario, having 'been
born here, but went west some
40 years ago.
"If anyone has any idea of
making an easy living, don't go
west, for if you want to make
a living in that country, you'll
have to work for it. We hear
on the prairies that the farmers
down east are rolling in wealth

further "I think the time has
come when farmers Should work
closer melt organized labor". 'I'an
not going Oto excuse laibor for
some of the things they do but
but every* one makes mistakes,
even farmers. You offten hear it
said by fanners, we won't have
anything to do with organized
labor .but you might as well say
you won't have any 'truck er
trade' with ears or airplanes or
any other modern convenience.
It is ,a silly attitude to take be
cause organized labor is our best
customer, they buy our hair and
eggs and they must have money
to buy it, .and a lot in the ranks
of organized labor are farmers'
sons and daughters for a lot of
farmers have either been shoved
off the farms or become discour-
aged and quit.
"The basic problem of each

farmers are a lieson in preparing

A lotof people are living on

power costs us a tremendous
amount of money, so that's the
stain difference between now and
grandad's clay. "The implement
companies and oil companies
have a greater interest in oar
farms to -day than we think, so
take stock,
"I have no criticism for the
Federation of Agriculture and
I'm all for eolnmereial co-ops
doing the good job they are set
up to do, But we should build up
our farm unions and keep it op-
erating in a democratic way."
"At the conference at Ottawa,
the apple growers in Nova Sco-

Brunswick; the mixed farmers in
Quebec and the grain growers in
the. west—all reported to be in

Gardiiter''s advice to the western
farmers: was to produce more
pigs and. catle, to feed their grain
to, and market them—and the
western farmers intend to take
Mr. Gartliner's advice, "How will
that affect the Ontario farmer?"
"We believe we should have pa-

The average farmer is not un-
reasonable, they are a fair mind-
