Farmers to Keep
Census Schedules
In common with the rest of the
'Fai),000 farmers of Canada, the far-
mers of this district during the last
two or throe weeks have received
through the mails copies of the agri-
cultural questionnaire that is being
Used in the nu Census of Canada,
If there are any whom it has not
reached, they may obtain a copy at
their nearest post Office.
The farm schedule was net out by
the Dominion' Bureau of Statistics in
advance le order to enable farmers
to prepare their answers to the ques-
tions at their convenience and thus
save time when the census enumerator
calls some time in June, An accom-
panying letter asked the farmers to
complete the schedule so far as they
could and have it on hand in readiness
for the visit by the enumerator, They
were particularly requested not to mail
it to the Bureau of Statistics.
In spite of this request, several
thousand farmers from all parts of
Canada have completed their sched-
ules and sent them to Ottawa. In con-
sequence, the Bureau has sent out a
special request to all the weekly
newspapers of Canada asking them
to remind their farm readers to keep
the schedule until the census taker
arrives to complete the details and to
pick it up, Forms that are mailed to
Ottawa will just be mailed back to
the sender, since they require com-
pletion on the spot by the enumerator
to ensure complete census coverage.

LOUD WELCOME FOR CAYUGA FATHER
—Central Press CanatUan Photos
"I knew I should have shaved it off," was the comment of Petty
Officer Norman Hopkins of Coleman, Alberta, when he greeted his
family at. Esquimalt, B.C., after a nine-months' absence aboard Cayuga
in the Korean war zone. For daughter Gwen was frightened by her
daddy's bushy beard. His wife, Joyce, didn't seem to mind too much.
It was estimated that at one time there were upwards of 50 men aboard
the destroyer growing beards. However, most of the whiskers weee
shaved off before the ship arrived at its home base in Esquimalt.
Cayuga, home for a well-earned leave, during which time some of its
crew and officers will be drafted ashore for promotions and participation
in various courses, will be replaced in U.N. fleet by H.M.C.S. Sioux.

"It seems to me like a good plan,"
said Bob. "But how did they work
together?"
"I'm coining to that," said his fath-
er. "In January and February when
work is slack, a special school for
farmers is held. The people study and
learn together and have fun together,
toe. The women go. to school as well
as the men. They learn how to plan
meals, how to take care of children
and how to nurse the sick. The school
teaches the whole family.
"After the first school Mr, McLean
tried to get a credit intern started.
That was a kind of bank for the far-
mers at Bricks. The idea was that all
the farmers at Bricks were to put a
little money into the credit union.
When ,one of them was in trouble he
could borrow money until the trouble
was past, Then he could pay it back,
"Well, the farmers did not trust each
other and little money was put into
the credit union. One day lightning
struck one of the barns, killing the
animals inside. Mr. McLean pointed
out that the farmer who was in trou-
ble should have been able to borrow
from the credit union. At once the
farmers saw the value of the credit
union and they put in enough money
to make a 'loan to the man who was
in trouble.
"The debt was paid promptly and
the farmers began to trust each other
and to put more money in the credit
union."
"They learned to cooperate, jdst as
Bob and I did," said Tommy.
"After they worked together in a lot
of ways. They bought feed and tools
and seed and grocieries together be-
cause these things came cheaper in
big lots. Ten families put money to-
gether and bought a tractor. The
people have become friendly and
neighborly and helpful to each other,
They have learned the value of work-
ing together."
"So did we," said Tommy, with a
laugh, as he threw away his apple
Core.
"I'd like to go and see Bricks some
day," said Bob.
Perhaps Tommy and Bob will in-
deed see Bricks sometime, since their
TO MY SON
You are the journey I had planned
to make
To marvel at the dome of Taj Mahal,
To dream beside the ancient Chinese
wall,
To cruise upon a blue Italian lake;
You are my spring in England at her
shrines
My summers at the mountains and
the sea,
The Louvre, the Sphinx, the sights I'd
longed to see,
My leisurely vacation on the Rhine.
Yet, by comparison, these dreams
grow dim
When I consider what is mine today;
I breathe a daily prayer of thanks
to Him
Who trusted me to guide you on your
way.
You are, my son, my heart's exultant

"I know!" he shouted. Still holding
Bob's hand, he walked toward Bob's
side of the porch. "Bob, help your-
self to a nice red apple."
Bob picked up the apple on the
porch rail. Then Tommy turned a-
round and they both walked toward
the window sill.
"Tommy, help yourself to a nice red
apple," said Bob, Tommy took the
second apple.
"How's that?" he asked his father,
as he took a big bite into the apple.
"Right!" answered Father. "Now,
if you want a big name for what you
and Bob have just been doing, it's co-
operation. Cooperation means doing
things together. When you and Bob
were pulling against each other, you
didn't get anywhere. When the two
of you worked together, first for one
and then for the other, you got what
you wanted. I want to tell you about
a place named Bricks, where the peo-
ple are taught to work together. I've
been giving money to Bricks for years,
and I want you boys to know some-
thing about it."
Tommy and Bob sat on the steps
and began to eat their apples, and
Father told them about Bricks.
"Bricks has nothing to de with the
kind of bricks from which houses and
walls are built. It is the name of a
place. It took its name from a per-
son who over fifty years ago gave a
large farm in North Carolina to the
American Missionary Association. A
school was built on the farm. The
Negro farmers who lived on and near
the property sent their children to
this school. Practically all of the ex-
penses were paid not by the people
themselves but by the American Mis-
sionary Association. When the people
needed anything, they just asked the
Association for it and usually they got
what they wanted without any troub-
le.
`:1-lard times came and the American
Missionary Association of the Congre-
gational Christian Churches did not
have the money to help the people as
they had before,
"So a different plan had to be made
for Bricks. The school on the farm
was kept up so the children could
learn as before. But the new plan
called for teaching the grownups as
well. They were to be shown how to
farm better and how to work together
for the good of all. The women as
well as the men were to be taught."
A New Plan
"A man who had been trained in
farming came to direct the new plans,
He was Mr. Neill McLean, The big
farm was divided into smaller farms
and rented to tenants who were to
stay there for five years, In that
time they would be taught better ways'
of farming. At the end of the five
years they should have enough money
to make a payment on a farm of their

BUILDING WITH BRICKS
Father stepped up on the porch with
a big red apple in each hand. "One
for me!" shouted Tommy. "One for
me!" echoed Bob, and they both came
running. Father held the apples up
in the air, out of reach even for a
jump.
"Yes, they're for you," he said, "but
you've got to learn how to get them.
Stand still and we'll start. Tommy,
you stand beside Bob and take his
hand. Don't let go of hands whatev-
er you do. Now, I'm putting one ap-
ple on the porch railing, just out of
your reach, Bob. Tommy, here goes
one for you on the window sill, just
too far away to touch it. Now go to
ite-find out how to get those apples."
Tommy and Bob braced their inside
feet against each other and stretched
out as far as they could. Sometimes
Tommy tugged Bob a little in the di-
rection of the window sill. Sometimes
Bob got in a good jerk and pulled
Tommy towards the porch railing. But
they were pretty evenly matched and
neither one could reach the apple on
his side. Then they got laughing so
they couldn't do anything.
"It must be a trick," Tommy said,
in between his laughs.
"No trick at all, Just stop and
think it over." Father answered.
Tommy and Bob stopped and puffed.
Tommy looked at the apple on his
side. Bob looked at his. Then all of
a sudden Tommy turned and looked
at Bob's apple,
