The Seaforth News, 1945-06-07, Page 6WIDER USE OF FILMS IN RURAL DISTRICTS Since 1942 when the National Film Board Rural Circuits were first established, the variety of their con- tributions to community life has steadily increased. One of the most important services they render, of course, is the demonstration of better farming methods. A typical film of this sort is JUST WEEDS, shown on the March -April programs, which deals with the more common and harmful types of weeds, and some of the best ways of controlling them. In addition to the regular pro- grams, special showings are held for service clubs and other organizations desiring to use films in their work. Nurses' Associations have found such films as Defeat Diphtheria a welcome aid in public health camp- aigns. Films on nutrition, childcare and rationing have proved of value to women's groups. The People's Bank and Farmers' Forum, explain- ing the purpose and organization of credit unions and Farm . Forum. listening groups, have done much to stimulate' activity along these lines. Canadian communities interested inpost-war planning also have a val- uable ally in the National Film Board Rural Circuits. Films on re- habilitation programs, youth centres or town planning provide a helpful means of presenting, information ,and encouraging group discussion on these matters. Already several communities have held conferences on such post-war problems as un- employment, agricultural readjust- ment and housing. To assist in pro- jects of this sort, the National Film Board is prepared to supply both films and the services of its field representatives to screen them. FARM W'O�ODL'OTS PART IN WAR EFFORT The use of the products of Cana- dian forests and farmers' woodlots for direct war purposes may be less THE SEAFORTH NEWS obvious than in some other cases but they ' are many and varied. Woodpulp alone is used extetneively in the production of high explo- sives, such as cordite and gun cot-, tong replacing cotton linters at about half the cost. krom the sane Wood, cellulose surgical dressings and hospital wadding' are made to ' heal the wounds of soldiers. The so- called "dissolving" o-called'"dissolving" pulps are also transformed into rayon, Celanese, cellophane, and pulp -based .plastics, from which are produced synthetic yarns for tires and parachutes, gas - impervious clothing, impervious wrappings for intricate machines, wrappings for perishable drugs, chemicals and food, housings for radio aircraft, artillery and naval instruments, and other articles, re- placing cotton, silk and metals. Paperboard is used 'in containers for shell cases, ammunition, gun barrels, machine parts, blood plas- ma, food and medical supplies, in place of metal and wood. Building Let's Get Together.. CANADIANS! "Let us, as Canadians, resolve to put aside sectionalism and class hatred; let us renounce the politics of expedience and the fruitless game of playing off one group against another; let us require of the Govern- ment that it harmonize all the various elements of the community and fashion them into a vigorous, co-operative society for the betterment of all." We believe that the one essential of all national progress is national unity. A United Canada is the firm foundation on which all the far- reaching Progressive Conservative plans for post-war reconstruction are enduringly based. We are deter. mined to achieve that unity. THE AGE OF PLENTY IS AT OUR DOOR—if we will but unite and co-operate to make it a reality for every one of our fellow citizens. BUT... CANADA HAS BEEN SPLIT APART In time of war, Canadians "reaped the whirlwind" brought about by the King Government's manpower poli- cies—policies that for 25 years have been fostering division and disunity. Those policies now challenge every. fair-minded Canadian. That challenge —now that V -E Day has come and gone—is the first to be faced if Can- adians' are to assure the unity and prosperity of this nation. TO -DAY, THE QUESTION IS: Shall political expediency be per- petuated? Shall the "biggest hoax ever per- petrated on a nation" be permitted, in time of peace, to embroil. Canada in new inequities, new partisan squab- bles, new divisions and disunities? OR — do. YOU agree with John Bracken who bluntly states that "to give political considerations priority over the nation's interest is intoler- able and unforgiveable"? CANADA FACES THE ISSUE To -day, Canada's heritage of national disunity is too evident, too real, to be ignored. The grave crisis of war, which proverbially unites a nation, has been used as a political instrument to accentuate and inflame differences found in every human family ... fostering disunity, in this our country, to serve party purposes. The political self-seeking of the King Government's "Divide and Rule" policy has exacted a toll in sacrifice and suffering to be shared by gen- erations to come. UNITE—CO-OPERATE—PROSPER Long ago, John Bracken expressed the great objective of the Progressive Conservatives. In his own words, we are setting out "to regain the unity that has been lost". - Unity—Co- operation—these are the foundations of our new, progressive conception of National Prosperity in which all Canadians shall share. WE STAND FOR— National Unity . > . NOT Piecemeal Politics seeking Political Advan- tage through National. Disunity. Co-operation ... NOT Class Hatred, Dictatorship and Bureaucratic Tyranny, WE BELIEVE— • Sectionalism must come to an end, subject to the recognized rights of minorities. • Everyone, regardless of racial ori- gin, must be regarded as a Can- adian, sharing equally the rights and obligations of Canadian eit- izenship.' WE DEMAND— • In War, equality of service and sacrifice. • In Peace, equality of opportunity for all. • One standard of citizenship.

It takes three acres of blueprint paper to put into pro- duction a single bomber type of air- craft, and the armed forces and the munition industries require much paper for administrative use. POULTRY MEAT IN URGENT DEMAND Never before in Canada was there such a favourable market for poul- try meat as now. Every pound that can be produced this Year, prefer- ably Grade A and Grade B, will find a ready market at ceiling or very near ceiling prices. In addition to the agreement under which the United States Government will take up to 30,000,000 pounds from the Special Products Board there is a ready demand for good quality poultry meat on the domestic mark- et. The United States Government requires for its army, chickens of two pounds or over and fowl 214 pounds and over. Cockerel chicks should be raised for food. Grade C birds are not wanted to choke the market. They never were profitable to the farmer and are not so now. The best and quickest way to raise birds for the top grades is by efficient management and proper feeding. Any agricultural represent- ative or experimental farm will gladly advise farmers on these points. There is a world shortage of the heavier meats—beef, pork, lamb. The poultry producers of Canada can help relieve the situation by producing top quality birds for meat. And the most profit is in Grades A and B birds. • The demand for poultry meat will be active for some time to come both at Dome and abroad and so will the Market for eggs. At this time when>the world needs food so urgently, the challenge is. clear to Canadian farmers with poultry. Produce more birds of the best quality. By doing this they will help feed the hungry and, make money doing so. INSURE SUPPLY OF HIGH CLASS SEED The importance of strong vital seed grain of the best adapted varie- ty. continues to be demonstrated from year to year. While most far- mers now appreciate the importance of good seed they seldom adopt any special plan to insure an annual supply, says Dr. L. H. Newman, Do- minion Cerealist. The custom which prevails most commonly among farmers is that of simply cleaning up the required amount of grain taken from the or- dinary rdinary bin each successive spring. While seed so obtained may often be satisfactory this is not a practice which should be followed indefin- itely. Following this plan in past years has led many farmers to the conclusion that a change of seed periodically is desirable. Generally speaking, it is good practice for the average farmer to secure periodically a few bushels of Registered Seed of the highest quality obtainable and of the variety which 11e has reason to believe is well suited to his farm. Information as to sources of supply of such seed may be had from the district repre- sentative or from an Experimental Farm. Choice 'of variety is of first im- portance. Thus, in the case of oats. in areas where stem rust is known to be a factor, the varieties Van- guard and Ajax are recommended at present as these varieties are re- sistant to this disease. In other areas where leaf rust rather than stem rust is most to b'e feared, the variety Erban has first choice, especially in Ontario. In 1946, for the first time, seed will be available to the general public of a variety capable of resisting both stem rust and the forms of leaf rust which prevail in, Eastern Canada. This variety was derived from a cross be- tween Vanguard and Erban .and has been given the name "Beaver". It was developed at the Central Ex- perimental Farm, Ottawa. The necessity of securing new seed periodically may be greatly reduced if farmers would sow their newly required registered seed in a block or field by itself, This field should be in a particularly good state of cultivation and reasonably fertile. Care should then be taken to keep the crop from becoming mixed during the . threshing and storing operations. Farmers should be alert to the fact that plant breeders are now active in developing new varieties and in having these tested at many placesthroughout the country.
