To the question whether he was
able to make a. living in this time of
depression a Western Ontario man
operating a 40 -acre farm, said; "I am
making a little more than a living;.
I .ani at a job I like; 1 am my own
boss, and I have no fear of unem-
ployment. Neither I .nor, my family
try to keep up with ,the Joneses al-
though we live well, the farm supply-
ing a large part of what we need on
the table. We have a small car that
we use sensibly. Where could. I get
a business for the same 'investment;
that would return nee as much?"
From this declaration it is evident
that there are 50 -acre farms which
are doing their share in contributing
to the wealth of the country and giv-'
ing the owner a fair living. The man
referred to above was willing to let
his neighbors expend their energies
on the big farms and the big herds.
His plan was to .concentrate on ,a
few good animals which gave good
returns and this year he .experienced
no trouble in meeting his tax bills.
He has ample reason for feeling. sat-

"The reports from all areas show
that substantial progress has been

but he adds'that "there Is great var-

ment of George Hodge, assistant
general manager, eastern lines, to
be manager of ` the newly -created
department of Personnel' of the
railway, announced by Grant Hall,
vice-president .of the company re-
cently. Mr. Hodge'was specially
selected for the appointment in
view of his wide experience in labor'
matters and his particular flair for
arbitration and kindred activities.
He was specially in. the limelight
at the ` time of h 'A a
the McAdoo award
'when his presentation of that set-
