The farmers of Canada for many years
have produced the leaders of state, of
business. Now the Kincardine News re
minds us the farm has this year produced
a "Miss Canajla”.
The News points out that “Miss Can
ada of 1951” is no glamor girl from the
fashionable and sleek beauty salons of our
cities. She is the daughter of a Western
Ontario tobacco farmer.
“Of the innumerable stories we have
heard about young’ ladies whose fathers
chose the calling of agriculture, there has
not been one previously of this type, a
success story.
“People in cities may wonder why a
country girl would win over their entries.
Of course, those people have forgotten that
they themselves or their parents came from
rural Ontario.
“What Don Fairbairn refers to as ‘the
important part of Ontario which lies out
side the cities' is just
whether the cities like
that they are trying to
paratively insignificant tails.
“It is not necessary to go back through
the years any great length to find that the
men and women who occupy the seats of
the mighty in Canada came, for the most
part, from farm homes. There is every like
lihood this conidtion will continue, for,
despite their many avowed advantages,
cities do not provide the background that
is to be found in the vaster areas which
lies beyond them.”

Pearson’s Analy sis
Canada’s Minister of External Affairs.
Mike Pearson., gave the National Council
of Women an idea of his government’s
thinking on the world crisis last week.
Said he: “It may well be that Russia,
faced with growing Western strength and
unity, will now wish to ... . avoid open
conflict.”
But, he added, it would be a purely
tactical decision. The Soviet would pursue
her aim of world rules through other chan
nels, including more and more “hypocriti
cal” peace appeals.
At least until the end of 1954. he sug
gested, there will be acute danger. There
would be danger for years after that.
To his suggestion that the West’s'
armament may already have achieved
primary purpose of deterring general
re-
its
ag-_ . ■&
gression even though any letdown could be
fatal., he added these sobering thoughts:
“We are competing in both a sprint
and a marathon ... It may be that if we
have achieved our defence objectives by.
say, the end of 1954, we will have sur-
' mounted the most acutely dangerous per
iod.
“That, however, may be followed by
the longer-term phase of the conflict, the
marathon race, which may last for many
years. During this period, we must refuse
to yield to the temptation to adopt the
policies or even the tactics of those who
would destroy us.
“We must maintain, not as an emer
gency measure hut as a normal part of
national life,, the level of defence effort re
quired. But we must also prove to our peo
ples that our civilization is worth this ef
fort, While concentrating on the immediate
danger of military attack, we must hold out
the hope—-indeed, do
hold it out—of further
progress.”

tion in any interview. Professor Wild said
the interview should not be regarded as a
contest. "If a reporter talks to you, there’s
no need to be on your guard. Meet him
man to man and answer questions direct
ly,”
There were bound to be some honest
mistakes in news stories, he cautioned, and
instances of misquoting. But these could
not be avoided. He suggested that the per
son misquoted should get in touch with the
reporter and find out why before "blowing
his top”.
In a quick run-down on how to meet
reporters and talk to them, the speaker
noted that today’s newsmen had more edu
cation, tact. resourcefulness and integrity
than ever before,
"Cooperate with them and they will
respect your confidence. The reporter has
to be all things to all men. Understand
their difficulties and help out when they
come to you for information.”

County workmen have com

It is expected that this County

presents itself, “How have those
cracks come about?” We have
heard of the walls of Jericho
that fell at the timely blast of a
ram’s horn. We have read of the
walls of Jerusalem that crumbl
ed beneath the thunder of the
battering rams. But what of the
effective walls of the Kremlin?
For those walls, however formi-

ever impregnable they may ap

For one thing they are not
built on justice and goodness.
Justice is the foundation stone
of all government th
ailed. Instead, it is stronger
than ever. For one thing the
council never forgot to ask it
self why we should live at all.
The quiet words of Mr. Pear
son in his radio address told us
why the nations of the North At
lantic pact have united. In his
steadily uttered and well thought
words he indicated that the pact
has been formed in order that,
under providence, we may hope
and work for the day when the
nations of the world may live
in peace and harmony because
the hearts and souls and minds
of the world are joined in mu
tual understanding.
This practical statesman and
man of affairs sees that this state
so far, is anything but realized.
He is aware that the enemies of
our way of life are alert and
abroad to seize every good thing
we now possess in order that oui’
hard won advantages may be
converted into our oppressors.
In order that we may not be so
ensalved the fine men of the
North Atlantic council have toil
ed and deliberated and set to
one side all concerns of lesser
consideration.
It makes the pulse beat with
more than crusader enthusiasm
to rest assured that our leading
men see the affairs of the race
with such practical enlightement.
We are refreshed as we whole
heartedly believe that our lead
ers have their eyes not only on
the affairs of immediate impor
tance to each of us but to the
whole world. Only by so doing
can peace and security be secur-
red. Only by enabling all of us
to see things as a whole can we
