Bracken, author, writing books about farms, farming, farmers.. . And now years later, .in Winnipeg, John Bracken, the farmer, is speaking of "the right of farmers and other primary producers to a fair share of the nation's income." Notice the simplicity of the language he uses, clear, concise -- sincere. "During the last decade," he is saying, "farm income fell to such a low average as to become of very great concern in our Canadian economy. It is the responsi- bility of the nation to see that this great inequity shall not be perpetuated." Then, suddenly his voice rises, becomes even clearer, more incisive, "I may say quite frankly that if it had not been for that plank in your platform which pro- vides for a square deal for agriculture, I would not be here." Two years later, in Alliston, Ontario, again the same simplicity, the moving sincerity. "I am an agrarian," said John Bracken, "and I am a Canadian ... who seeks to correct the major social injustice of our day - the unfairly small share of the national income that goes to farmers and farm women and farm workers," Then, with a statesman's enlarge- ment of vision, he added, "When the injustice to the farmer is removed, the economy of Canada as a whole will be strengthened." No one could be less parochial in his outlook - more deeply concerned with national welfare than John Bracken, the farmer who embarked twenty years ago on a career so successful as to be without precedent in contemporary political history within the British Com- monwealth of Nations, B-2 Published by the Progressive Conservative Association, Ottawa.

'When telephone men and materials are back again, we'll resume our rural expansion program where we left off. First job of all will be to supply service to families on our waiting list. Then will come such major projects as extending facilities into new areas; replacing "veteran' equipment; raising standards of service. Simply to relieve present crowding on rural lines will mean running more than 8,000 miles of wire from present pole lines. Then we'll need extensions to the pole lines them- selves -some 2,500 miles of them -to reach additional communities. Wherever we find one family per half mile of main road wanting telephones, we plan to construct pole lines to serve them.
