C-71 1 The Farmer Can't Carry The Load Alone By RUSTICUS In recent weeks we have heard much about the price of bacon and cheeae. Farmers are certainly bitterly disappointed and we can well understand the reason why. We night quite figures to show how the prices of the goods we must buy have risen considedkaly faster than the prices of term produce. Thus, even if we had had a good crop a the past season, and we did not, our position ,this winder would not be as favoraible as a year ago. .Learners realize that Great Britain is justified in buying as cheaply as possible. We are willing to forget about profit if by so doing we can be of any assistance to the hard- pressed British people. We are wili- ng, yes, but we expect the remaind- er of the Canadian public to shale the burelen with us. (During the past decade the farmer has suffered great financial loss. Toilet the British people we are not yet quite knocked out. They tell us that you can get used to anything in time, and we have become so used to losses on our produce that a few more years of that condition might not prove fatal. On the other band, when we gad farm boys and workers leaving the farm every day and finding posi- tions, in. town at good wages, when we realize that every war contract s let on a cost-plus basis, can you blame us for asking: Why not give the fanner a break? * * • The bacon situation is an interest- ing one, There hasbeen a sensa- tional increase in ,hog, production, particularly In the western prow incest Ontario fadmers cannot' compete because of the cheap grain they have out there. We do not believe that western farmers can grow grain at present market prices, and we do not blame them for turn- ing their cheap grain, into bacon. When the war is over and the market is once more open to the yeetero brain brower, will he con- tinue to gro triton? From an economic standpoint, can the gov- ernanbnt afford to let the Ontario fanner be put out of the bacon iiII business by unfavorable prices?I Who is gong to produce .the volume and quality of bacon required in those postwar years, when volume and quality are going to be so inn Listowel MachineShop phone 177W Listowel, Ont. - ttAlti cslW 1p'eeC lry J RW1<✓.7r$•lc?

We smiled when we read that statement about C'anasa guarantee- ing delivered or some 30 million more pounds of cheese than was sent over in 1940. Pastures have more difficult to. procure. Who s going to milk those cows that are to produce all this milk Where are the farmer who can afford to buy grain and' feed it to cows this winter even at present dairy produce pric- es? No, Mr. Gardiner, there is a limit to even' the farmer's endur- ance. He will db his best but he cannot carry on without help and he cannot buy grain without money, • * • The national income must be spent on our war effort. There is probably no money to bonus farm- ers. What then is the solution? Some relief would come If freight rates on grain could be cut in hall. The all. rail rate to Ontario points is abouts 2 cents per hundred pounds. How could this be done without any nese to the government? We 'would sug- gest asking the railway employees to do their bit toward winning the war by wanking six or eight hours per week longer for the same pay cheque, and we yould ask every other industrial worker to do the been good this past year. They muy not be so good another season. Help is becoming increasingly sante. The salaried man or profes- sional man might be asked to do bi, b11 too. Why not confiscate all sal- aries above $2,000? These , suggestions are drastic. They are no more so than the fact that farmers are compelled •to sell their bacon hogs at $7.59 per hundred or their cheese at 14.5 cents per pound. We have a war to win and we believe that the load must be opened: tap. Farmers will tire of pulling more than their share of the load, and a decline in production may yet prove a serious rtlenaCe. Fanners, like other folk, are 1:o- Mined to spend 111000y quite freely when in an, eptimistic mood. In recent weeks we hove attended a few Tarsi auctions, and we consider farm auction sales fairly reliable barometers of farm prosperity and farmers optimism for the future. Prices at brat auctions have been particularly low this fall. There are probably more farms or sale that ever before, The load must be evened up whIle yet. 141.0.6 11 n surplus' of some fool stuff, A shortage a year or (Wo benne is a strong possibility.

TIPS ON JOB -HUNTING Advice For Men and Women Stresses Importance of Ap- pearance Pennsylvania's job mdbilizaticn campaign committee, a group heal- ed by Gov. Arthur H. James to create new jobs and stimulate in- dustry, has drawn• up a list of "do's and don'ts to help eommonwea..tlt residents obtain jobs, List of "Do's, "Dent's', Pointing out that "first appear- ances'' decide the job -seeker's fate, the .committee advises all appli- eants to look their best. Here's how: "Nails clean and trimmed. Teetn sparkling and hair groomed. Face, hands and body clean and whole- some. Freshly allayed. Shoes ehtn- ed. and clothes pressed." For women there are these spec- ial tips: "Don't use excessive makeup or lipstick, make sure your hose are not wrinkled, watch that your slip doesn't show, don',t wear brilliant nail polish, and don't wear fancy shoes:" The comonlvealth adds: 'TDM not storm into the presid- enits's office—your approach should be straightforward and courteous. Remain outside a private office un- ti1 you have been asked to be seat- ed. Retain your poise, do not slouch and be on the alert. 'Don't mumble your name. Don't fidget. Don't chew gum, smoke or use strong perfume. Don't play your hat on the employer's desk. your ha ton the enypoyer's desk, Don't talk too tench.
