An Island Paradise Where You Can't Live Four .hundered and twenty miles from the coast of Australia is an island seven miles by one, of perfect rest cure. It is known as Lord Howe Island, It was discovered by pirates in )788. There were no inhabit- ants in those days, but several comfortable little harbours where pirates used to anchor their ships and do running repairs. Several pirate chiefs buried their treasure on the island. One of them, who masked his piracy by doing a little honest whaling at times, hid a huge fortune in gold and gems. Making quite sure, by murd- ering the men who hid the trea- sure, that only he would know where to look for it, he sailed away. Years later, when he re- turned to retire on his ill-gotten hoard,. no found that Nature had forestalled him. There had been a huge lands- lide and the site- of his cache was buried beneath hundreds of tons of earth and rocks. It is still there. The inhabitants of Lord Bowe Island are a living proof that even pirates have souls, for quite a number of men wlto had sailed under the skull and crossbones were so enthralled by -the peace- ftil loveliness of it that they re- turned with wives and settled down there. There are only two hundred inhabitants. and most of them are direct descendants of Eng- lish, Australian and American sailors: For many years they supported themselves by har- vesting pain seeds. In the last thirty years that industry has steadily declined, and -to-day the main industry is tourists. Business men and their wives from Australia, New Zea- land and America fly there for a rest. The temperature averages 70". It rains mainly in the middle of the night; the beaches are the best in the world t'or bathing and surf riding, and fruit can be had for the plucking, There is One general shop and no hotels, telephones, chemist's shop, policemen, magistrates,. t•cstaurants or clubs. Tired business men dream of retiring and settling there, but the answer is a polite refusal. Only the detscendants of the original sf ttlere ere allowed to live in this fe.land paradise,- •• lain Horse Sense. by BOB ELLIS At the 1929 International Con ference of Agricultural Econon ists, Henry A. Wallace, later U.S. Secretary of Agriculture, warn• ecu of the impending clanger to r international trade. - Speaking of the trouble for the exportable surpluses of ag ricultural products which would "inevitably" be caused by re duced loans to Europe, tie call ed for reduced tariffs on nnanu factored goods, for international stabilization of the general price level and for "some scheme of giving to agriculture the moral, legal and economic equivalent of what the corporate form of or- ganization has given to indus- try, and yet remain the family farm." Bente Situation Today Twenty four years later the world is in the same position as it was then. Again the U.S. is reducing loans to Europe, again farmers are asking for stabilized prices and there is no scheme yet which will give farmers the badly needed "corporate form of organization:" There are farm organizations like the Federation of Agricul- ture, the Farmers Union, Dairy Farmers of Canada, but it re- mains open to doubt whether arty one of them, with the excep- tion perhaps of the unions in the prairie provinces, can claim to really speak authoratively for the farmers. How great the advantages of collective action are should be- come clear to the farmers of On- tario, if they consider the recent accomplishments of the Ontario Hog Producers Association. Undaunted by the attacks of the daily press, which as usual is opposing producer co-opera- tion, disregarding the customary squawks of the . this -is -not -the - time -to -do -it boys, the associa- tion stuck by its guns and so far was successful in raising and maintaining prices; although it has to be kept in mind that they • started operations at a very op- portune time of scarcity. There is even talk of a strike by the producers who might be asked by the association to with- hold their hogs from the mar- ket, In view of the lack of strongly knitted farm organiza- tions and the uncertainity as to the full support of their Mem- bers, this columnist has always held that no strike action by primary producers could be ef- fective unless it were supported by the packinghouse workers unions of the plants concerned. It would be up to the workers in the plants to refuse to process any hogs delivered by possible stripe breakers. This support should be secured before a strike is called, Voinnun'y Check -.off. The resolute stand taken by the hog producers of Ontario is sharply contrasted by -the dis- pirited attitude taken by the Board of Directors of the Toron- to Milk Producers Association who are refusing to support the Special Committee set up by, the Annual. Meeting of the associa- tion to establish a producer own- ed plant to handle all surplu11 milk in the Toronto Market. When the committee recently decided that the time had come to purchase land for the plant the directors declared that they could not advance the funds licessaty for the clown payment as they hed entered into a ^gentlemen's agreement" wirer the distributors that the fees col- lected by them from the perdu tris were "not to be used to tie into the dairy business in any way." It is hard to understand why the leaders of one of the impor- tant groups of- producers should tie their own hands instead of using them to fight for the rights of the farmers they represent. Association fees collected by the dairies from the producers are in the same category as union dues deducted by a company from the pay of its employees. The voltattary check -off is a common demand of industrial workers. The times when they had to strike for it are past. Te- tley it is commonly accepted in all negotiations between com- panies and unions. The agreement between, The Steel Company of Canada and the United Steel workers con- tains the following clause: "It is understood 'and agreed that Union dues will be deducted and remitted by the Company from the pay of the employees- repre- sented by the Union as the bar- gaining agency, who have signed an authorization as hereinafter provided." It outlines further the pro- cedure under which the deduc- tions are made and how and when they are to t,o paid to the union. Nothing is elfin as to the use these funds may or may nut be put to, There is no seaman why producers shoold not have similar provisions- written into their agreements With processors and distributors. As a matter of fact Western whetl, primers alar, doing it, Marketing Aoeiicy hl view of the great impor- tance of the producer owned milk plant in Toronto as a big step towards the "corporate form of organization" which farmers still have to strive for, all means should be used to "ecur'e Its realization. Ontario Milk Fe ('(lacers are lucky to have in the Ontario Milk Control Act provisions for marketing agencies, They should snake use of them. The surest and most direct way for the Tor- onto milk producers 10 get an organization which can take care of their interests, is to instruct their Special Committee to apply to the Minister of Agriculture tor the establishment of a mar- keting agency in the Toronto market and for the appointment of the committee ate its first Baird of directors. This column eermomes sug- gestions, tvise or loolish, and all criticism, whether constructive or destructive and will try to answer any question. Address your letters to Bob Ellis, Box I, 123 - 18th Street, New Toronto, Ont, His Job — Moth Swatter The Budgetary Committee of the Danish Parlament recently approved the appointment of one of the world's oddest wor- kers --an official moth -swatter.

Museum etxperte thought that the use of chemiccis to kill the moths would probably damage valuable garynents.

Back To The Saddle Again—This old oldster, discovered by CNR officials partially buried in a Belleville, Ont., sandpit, is a saddle tank twitcher which came out of the Grand Trunk's Point St. Charles shops in Montreal in 1894, Last of its type to be built there, it has been reconditioned and added to the museum train. Its designers, in an effort to produce a compact engine, Straddled the boiler with a water tank and eliminated the fender by making provision in the engine itself for the coal t,uppiy.
