The Economic Council of Canada in
-a recent repot suggest& Canadian
farmers will have to produce a lot
InoTe just to prevent income from
- falling further behind that of the city
The council report .emphasizes that
despite the fact that agricultural pro-
ductiyity has increased much faster in
recent year&than outputs in other sec-
tors of the -economy, farm incomes re-
main "significantly lower" than non
farmer incomes.
The conclusion is not exactly news
to hundreds upon hundreds of farmers
in Huron and Perth and across Wes-
tern Ontario. Nor is it news to the mer-
chants, the suppliers and the profession-
al people in the small towns and vil-
lages who are responsible for providing
the farmers in each cominunity with
their day to day needs.
The cost price squeeze which' farm-
ers -have faced foi- some years, is re-
flected in their purchasing power and
contributes to many of the economic
difficulties facing many merchants in
Western Ontario towns.
The specialists suggest they have the
answer —.get bigger.
But 'getting bigger, in itself, solves

little unless -.in the process considera-
tion is given to the resulting problems
which bigness in turn creates.
It is time governmen,t did mere than
give lip service to difficulties which
face rural: Ontario. It is not en8ttgli to
regard ounties such as. Huron and
Perth solely as petential toiritt4ounties:
which is the easy way out for many of
the specialist groups who study the
problem. This is not to say of course
that development of tourism cannot
make a major contribution to the econ-
omy of the area, A determined effort
to create area employment for the
youth which the community educates •
can make an even greater contribution.
These counties and the people in
them, rural and' urban together, have
combined for more than 100 years to
play a major role in the development of
the wealth and growth of Ontario and
Canada. .
- They can continue to do so providing
there is available to them some indh
cation that governments — and this
basically is a provincial responsibility
— have confidence in their future and

From My Window
By Shirley ' J. Kellar
Somebody once said Out "One
picture is worth a thousand
words, but for 'sme reason
most women prefer to use a
thousand words".
I resent that statement. In
feet,. I challenge anyone who
claims that women talk more
tan roen.
tkiufw some men who are the
mouthiest rumor mongers this
• world has ever known. Not
only are men prone to passing
on juicy bits of gossip, they are
quite apt to punctuate the tale
. with some -spicey language that
would be bettor off unsaid.
You ladies will know exactly
. what I Mean. Something called
"man talk". is what put the kick
in so many stories. Women can
be catty and vicious, but men
have a nasty habit of being
downright smutty and vulgar.
Favorite joke has always been
the one about the gal who goes
to the hairdresser and comes
home with an earful about some
poor unsuspecting soul under
the next dryer. That may be -
true. But have you ever heard
some of the tidbits that make
their way out of the. corner
barbershop?
The gem about the fellow
who ran away with the neigh-
bor's wife nearly always has its
roots in the little back rooms
where men congregate. That's
bad enough. But men seldom
Eave the intelligence to handle
this information like pros. Rath-
er than treat it with diplomacy
and tell the news to only a
few ehoiCe friends with whom
it will be safe, men will flap
their gums in the mod ungen-
tlemanly fashion until, every-
one in town believes the very
worst about the missing pair.
What's more, men justdon't
have the patience to filter
through all the data for the tiny
morsels of truth. Women, love
to spread stories but they gen-
erally try hard to run a_ thin
thread of fact through the
story to make it believable to
the female ear.
Men will swallow anything.
Tell them that the village spin-
ster has a torrid love affair
going with Rock Hudson, they'd
believe it. .
Even when it comes to just
plain old conversation, men just
aren't able. to keep it concise
and to the point. Whether it is
a male deficiency or simply poor
planning, men prattle on and
on, around and „around the sub-
ject until the listener is dizzy
from the sound.
Women -may certainly stay oir
the telephone for, hours, but
their conversation is sintilating
and highly diversified. While
her male counterpart is trying
de er t 1 is idea
across, she has wound up sev-
eral subjects to the ' completes
satisfaction of her audience.
Women talk a great deal.
That's very true. But they have
so much to tell.

With Huber carefully
There are lei than to
weeks, left in the plactiCall el
ection eSinpaign, and if th
polls are Tight, Hubert Hum
phrey and Richard Nixon can
quit campaigning right new. .
All the portents, the indica
tors and the signs point to a
massive repudiation of the
Democratic Party in the presi-
dential voting November 5.th
Except for the possibility that
third party- candidate George
Wallace might stop either man
from getting a majority, it. ap-
pears that Nixon has a solid
grasp on the. key to the White
House.
This outlook is based on the
splintering of the Democrats
andlhe- breakup of the historic
coaIltiOn or-hig isber, the lam
vote and the "Solid South",
which :Ass traditionally !deliVer-
ed. n niaJOrity of the electoral

trast, have found their strength

with the wart not the Republi-
✓ cans.
" As far as the wag, is con-
e cerned, it would be that the
" election Of Richard Nixon is
the only way by which the
'United 'States can extricate it-
- self from this conflict.
The North Vietnamese have
Made it clear, they will' give no
• concessions to Lyndon Johnson. '
They demand a halt to the
bombing as a necessary Step to
- meaningful peace. talks. Never
mind about concessions on ila-
nernside. /which johnson, Hum-
phrey and Nixon say they must

to a bombing bait).
It is probably a safe guess
that almost any ,settlement en-
gineered! by Mr. '1Ittinpitrey
Ave,pyl he condemned by Cilarge •
section of the American public
as a sell4out. On the -other hand
a settlement on muth the same
terms from Mr:- Nixon would
Probably be viewed as his first
triumph after taking occupancy
of the White House.
_
'For all that Mr. Nixon is
now cast in the role of a win-
ner, there are nevertheless
some signs that his conquest of
the Democratic party might not
be as certain as it has seemed.
The nature of American soci-
ety has changed so radically in
the past decade that • the old
party lines have become blurred.
The bloc vote has gone into the
ash -can of history.
A very similar occurrence has
marked the development of the
.Canadian political scene, ex-
cept that the Liberal party, un -
der Pierre Elliott Trudeau, rec-
ogniied what was happening
and changed its appeal.
The almost solid conviction
among political observers that
HuMphreY has no chance what-
ever of beating Nixon aind in
fact could run third behind
Wallace), is supported by the
luke-warm reception- the Vice -
President has received from his
own key supporters:
The civil rights policies of
President Johnson have failed
to pacify the nation. Law and
order • is the No. 1 domestic
tssne — and in fact the only
issue. on which waliace is buil-
'ding his campaign.
Meanwhile the continued
stalemate in Vietnam is -hurting
Humphrey in that while Nixon
offers almost exactly the same
policy as the Democrats, it is
the Democrats who are tarred
The Humphrey campaign has
been picking up momentum.
His campaign ., organize'r, Ken-
neth O'Donnell, engineered the
Kennedy victory of 1960. Im-
portant Democrats like George
Ball — who quit as ambassador
to the UN to work for Humph-
rey — are beginning to line up
with the Vice President. And
Htunphrey's increasing dovish
tendencies have been winning
• over left-wing Democratic dis-
sidents. •
Finally;—Ilynden -Johnson is
yet to be heard from. Despite
his widespread unpopularity
he still holds the power of the
presidency, and if he decides
to put it to work for Humphrey,
the results could be almost nta-.
gical.
In other words, don't write
off HHH. There could' be an --
other 1948 shaping up — when
Thomas Dewey was a "sure win-
ner" for the Republicans, but
Harry Truman's "Give 'eat hell",
campaign miraculously made
him the winner on election
night.
