We hear so much about various things the housing shortage, juvenile delinquency, inflation subsequent depression, the ins quacy of old age pensions and r habilitation problems. But do realize the seriousness of what hear? 1 am afraid few of us We listen to the radio, hear in- stances of this and that, as by the announcer, and for' a mi ute or two it registers and'we s "Oh, isn't that dreadful?" "That is jolt too bad -why the government do something it?" Poor old government -either Federa of Provincial -what we do without it for a scape-goo And then we go on with our our book, or our card game, the incident is forgotten, Take the farm labour shorts We know it exists but I am both town and. country people alb just shrug their shoulders, people because they don't know What hardships result as the •outcome of a labour shortage, farm people because they are hopefully expecting that something will turn up. and somehow or other they will by! And, be it said to their they generally do. But when unforeseen occurs, then they really up against it.. As you. we had a sample of that Partner fell on the ice. What we would have done without to take over the chores I actual don't know. w: * * But last week I came across much worse incident. Our tele- phone "trouble -man" - who runs a farm -was out working the Tines after that terrible storm, and as might be expect he fell, No bones were broken it was not thought he was seri- ously hurt., But complications in and now' lie is in hospital. I wife is left without any help o:. t farm and there are cows to m' and young cattle to look after. that doesn't sound too mu but let Inc tell those who know, that cattle must be fed stables cleaned, and forking hay of the !tow and pushing a load wheelbarrow out of the stable work far beyond the average n man's strength. Yet that is what the farmer's wife is up against less she can get help. Imagine ! that work and worry in addition to her natural anxiety over hubsand's condition - and not man to be found anywhere! Ev our local "Rep" apparently 1 far more applications for help men to fill the jobs. * * Very often some such instar as 1 have given you proves to the straw that breaks the back; the climax to a fight almost impossible odds. And next thing we know another is up for sale. Maybe that sounds like a gloomy picture of agricdlture. Maybe but yet through the gloom I a glimmer of light. It may be a hunch but I certainly have feeling there is a great future agriculture -how soon and to extent I wouldn't like to hazard a guess, but yet I have a it is coming and I think it t l cone about through those are not farming, becoming farm - conscious, with a better realization of the work that is required eggs are put on the market, milk into bottles and meat in butcher's window. This realiza- tion may, in turn, be the result of an acute short supply of products - the aftermath of labour shortage. Wouldn't it be a grand idea if there were a compulsory land which required that every able- bodied youth should serve for one year on some kind of farm, bo free but wages aid by the govern- ment. Then, at the end of the year, if he showed any liking and had any aptitude for work, he could hire out at cur- rent - rent wages. That, my, dear friends, would really wake 'em up. T t would definitely put' an end o any indifference to farm problems once and for -all. Honourable Minister of Agricul- ture, please take note. When alt, sections of the com- munity realize that we cannot live off each other, but that prosperity. la based on a co-operative economy 'in which all contribute in accord- ance ccordance with their ability and re- sources, then there is no reason why good Mmes should not con- tinue, Grasp and greed can lead only td . grief. —Financial Tithes.

Slip out and get the gal friend a nice heart before they - are all gone. We dont stake as much of this day as we used to, but it doesn't hurt to let someone know you are thinking of them. We don't suggest this, but if you're broke, call the gal and read her a verse or two of something sentimental . , If anyone is listening in, they'll en- joy it too. TI•IIS 'N TIIAT-Ln going over the dial lately, we have found that several radio stations across the province are giving "air -time" to the teeners; the most recent being CFOR of Orillia. The teeners of Oriliia opened their first program by haying the Mayor, F. C. Yeo, say a few words for the future citizens. The gang up there are trying hard to get a permnanent hall and club roosts and' are letting everyone far and wide know about it via the ether. They write, pro- duce and direct their own fifteen minute show, called Teen Town l'imc. Congratulations gang. CHML of Hamilton gives the young people of that area time for discussion each week that is draw- ing current interest from young and old. We heard one of these broadcasts a. few weeks ago and the thought-provoking arguments set vp by these teeners made Inc stop and think. In the eastern section, Kingston and Oshawa are giving time to teen shows. Last week CIiDO of Oshawa hada guest pianist as well as their regular teener news of the district. They apparently have re- porters that dig up the social stuff through the week, write it, and then present it on tine program. Nice work, too. Joe Crysdale of Toronto's CKEY of course has listeners all over the place when he conies on with Club 580 each day at 4 p.m. Many out- of-town teeners get down for this show and we• frequently hear of visitors from different parts of the province. Wet thick Joe is doing a great job for the young people and we know they appreciate 1t. I mention these shows just to illustrate that we young tuts aren't being ignored by the oldsters. They must feel that we have some- thing on the ball, or we wouldn't be receiving these privileges. * While on the subject of radio, we note that Eddie Allen of the CBC happy Gang was recently picked as the nation's favorite singer. \Ve remember Eddie as a boy when he used to go out with a group of young men from the Fred Victor Mission of Toronto, singing and playing his accordion—we'd say he's hitting on all four. A dance band, well known to high school hops across the pro- vince, is that of Bobby Gimby- also of the Happy Gang. A former member of the Mart Kenney outfit, he formed his own group and has been climbing ever since. We hear, that between now and the summer, he will have played at high schools all across the province -which is proof enough of his popularity with the young fry. We have been hearing a great deal about the fan clubs that some of the teen gangs have. How about letting us hear about yours? This idea of fan clubs isn't new- -but it seems to be ever growing in popularity„ Remember this is your column and you arc invited to snake use of it. With the current rise in restaur- ant foods, dining after a show for even a snack is going to bit the old pot pretty hard. We have always enjoyed a snack in the kitchen after. a night out — especially the girl friend's—and now will appreciate it even more, *, * * When we started writing the column today and tossing in a little of this 'n that, we wondered where it would end There is one item that we would like to draw to your attention, and that is the new book, 'Tour Manners Are Showing" by.Byltty- Betz. Written in a style you.—:it'll: understand, it gives the many do's and don'ts that we younger generation should keep in mind. You'll enjoy • this book and at the same time find it helpful, so keep it in mind. * q: I think I'll go home now and learn the words to the new song, "Open The Door, Richard?" before I go nuts, If I hear it once more today, there will be no more Teen Town Topics, at least not as written by your truly. Gift for Princess More than 400 diamonds, said to be worth more than £20,000 (030,- 000), will be presented to Princess Elizabeth by the South African government on her 21st birthday, which falls during the Royal Fami- ly's tour of South Africa this year. ..
