have, I would say that it is a lack of
foresight, a lack of appreciation of
the facts. This is true of not only the
farmers, but also the townsfolk who
snake up the market for their pro-
ducts. I doubt that this will be read
by many consumers, perhaps not by
many produters either, but what I
want to get across is this. We as pro-
ducers, should appreciate the fact
that the consumer has problems, and
consumers shouldappreciate the fact
that the producers do have problems,
and are not just crying to hear them-
selves sob,
For example, the farmers have sev-
eral vital problems at the present
time, but perhaps the greatest of
these, is the dropping of farm prices.
This, at a time when everything that
the farmer has to buy, Is going up
in price. This is true without except-
ion. The farmer is getting less for
his pork, for his beef, for his dairy
products, than he has in a number of
years. He has to pay more for his
machinery, his labour, his hydro, his
telephone, and his other services, Nat-
urally, you don't have to be a math-
ematician to see that his margin is
dropping. Hia spending power is drop-
ping. He hasn't the money to spend
that he had three or four years ago,
One of the great habits of consum-
ers is to say this "The farmer is malt-
ing a good thing. *He is getting rich.
He is getting fat, and he is putting
money in the bank, He is driving a
new ear, he Is educating his children
and he has painted his barn, and
bought new machinery." I have heard
that hundreds of times, these past
few years, and no doubt you have _too,
Well I have this answer to those
people who make that statement,
"Sure, the farmers have made out
alright during the post war period, at
least up until the past year. They paid
off mortgages that had been hanging
over their heads, since the thirties.
They painted barns that had never
been painted before. They bought ap-
pliances for their homes that they had
never had before. They sent their
children on to schools, They bought
new cars to replace the model A's,
and the old Essex's, that they drove
for pears, They dressed better than
they used to and they were to be seen
more often, in the theatres, at the

1952 Wingham Phone
Directory Is Delivered
The men who's who of the telephone
world is out. It's the 1952 Winghato
directory, -bound in a buff cover to
distinguish it from last year's green-
covered edition. Copies were delivered
through the mail to subscribers last
vaeek,
D. A. McArthur, Bell 'Telephone
manager for this region, points out
that the new book contains 2,600 new
and changed listings. He therefore
advises subscribers to check any per-
sonal lists of telephone numbers they
may have compiled against the num-
bers listed in the new book and to
make any necessary changes. Besides
the Wingham exchange, the directory
contains listings for subscribers in
Walkerton, Hanover, Palmerston,
Drayton, Mount Forest, Harriston,
Durham, Lucknow, Holstein, Cargill,
and the surrounding territory.
The new directory looks very large
when compared with the first tele-
phone directory issued in Canada back
in 1878. Distributed to subscribers of
the Hamilton District Telegraph Com-
pany, it was a single sheet, 18 by 51L:
inches, and contained the names of
only 68 subscribers. The telephone it-
self was quite young in those days as
it was only 12 years previously that
Alexander Graham Bell spoke the
first'words through a telephone to his
