S. ATKEY, Editor A. L. COLQUHOUN, Plant Manager THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1950 We Should Be Proud Of "The Royal" THERE ARE FEW of us residing in the rural sections of Ontario who haven't attend- ed "The Royal" at one•; time or another. And we were very happy to do so and witness. what Hon. Tom Kennedy, Ontario Minister of Agriculture, describes as "the world's best agricultural show." The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair open- ed in Toronto Tuesday and will continue until Wednesday , next, November 22. `Despite.:. the vast resources of the Coliseum, many would-be exhibitors again have had to be turned 'away for lack of space. Even the flower show, ac- cording to officials, omits some features orig- inally planned. One of the most popular features, the Horse Show this year brings six national rid- ing teams into competition, two more than last year. The additions ere from Britain and the United States, The horse show plays its part in making the Royal a cosmopolitan kaleidoscope of silk hats and overalls. Less fascinating to the average city visitor, although more fundamental to the country's welfare, are' the champions of stable and field. To a city man, one rbibon may look pretty much like another. To the agriculturalist, a victory at the Royai is a supreme triumph. Whether won for livestock, poultry, grains or other produce, it means substantial gain as well„as honor, for the best strains are thus certified. The Royal represents the final round in countrywide contests for agricultural prizes. For that reason, the familiar names of veteran exhibitors often appear to predominate among the winners.' But the Royal is for competitors of ell ages. Some'200 young farmers are taking part under the auspices of the Canadian Council of Boys' and Girls' Club Work. These young people are not likely to forget the triumphs they share and the lessons they learn. Indicating the importance of the' Junior movement is the fact that Ricky Sharpe, 13 - ,year -old farm boy from Munson, Alta., is the first Junior Farmer to win the world's wheat championship. He will Come to Toronto Sat- urday to receive his trophy from Lord' Digby,. heed of the Royal Agricultural, Society of Great Britain. Ricky, with the help of his father, planted, weeded and harvested his prize-winning grain on a .31/2 -acre plot on his father's farm, just as he did last year when he won the junior grain championship at the fair and also the reserve championship in the senior division. It consists of the CNR Trophy and a $100 cash award. "I guess I'll save' the, money," Ricky said. Ricky's fathernhas helped and encouraged the boy's agricultural efforts in the past. Ricky' is ,a member of the Drumheller Junior Grain Club and has been a consistent winner in. interclub competitions. "Ricky has been one of the mainstays of his junior club despite his tender years," said N. F.,Bell, the district agriculturalist. "The award is a great honor and it couldn't have come to a nicer boy." An internationally famous event like the Royal should always produce a surprise or two, and thist year's ii no exception. The Provincial Lands and Forests Department has combined entertainment with enlightenment in. its, farm woodlot section. Realistic "talking trees" tell about the priceless value of wood- lots, their production and care. Detailed in- structions are given• by attending experts and in printed form. This is a phase of conservation within the reach of all who live by the soil. Timber, fuel, beauty and vital water storage facilities are among the gains. The department's ex- hibit vividly brings home this object lesson. The. Communists Aren't Fooling! CANADIAN COMMUNISTS are ready to , wage an underground war in Canada "on all hour's • notice" in the event of war with Rus- sia, ex -Communist Gerry McMar_us reveals in the current issue of Maclean's, in en article which should cause most of us considerable concern.. "This war, if it comes, will be fought by Canada's Communists on two major fronts, writes McManus. "It will be fought on the production lines; military and' industrial. It will be fought with equal intensity from within the Canadian armed' forces; where many party members are already in uniform, taking in- structions directly from the party." McManus, former secretary of the Canadian Seamen's Union and for almost 20 years a Communist, splitwith w th Canada's four fo r months ago over Communist policy in Korea. He writes that he had been given a role in "the next war's Communist underground." "I was to he director of labor activities for Quebec . to hinder war production in any way possible—through sabotage, slow- downs or strikes." Harry Binder, chief organizer of the Com- munist Party in Quebec, took him to a "hide- away ... near the village of Point Fortune— . about halfway between Montreal and Ottawa— which the party had selected for me in the event of a war involving- Canada on one side and Russia on the other," writes McManus. From there, he was to "help lead the care- fully trained organization which already stands mobilized and ready to transform the Com- munist Party of Canada into an underground war against Canada on _ Canadian soil." He agreed with Hinder to use the "cover name" Fitzgerald, if and when the Party sent him underground, McManus writes, "Binder had been designated as my contact man with the party's upper commend . the political bureau, which meets daily in Toronto." McManus identifies members , of the political bureau as "Tim Buck, the under- ground army's generalissimo; Stanley Ryerson, No. 2 man to Buck; William Kashton, Leslie Morris, Becky Buhay, J. B. Salsberg, Norman Penner, Charles Sims, Norman Freed, Stewart Smith and Dorise Neilsen. "Stand-ins" have already been appointed for these leaders, McManus reveals, in case they are "interned or have to.leave the country," Incidentally, since the publication of the article, Stanley Ryerson has commented in usual Communist fashion: "It's all a pack of damnable lies!" and blames the "Fascists" no end, which statement may he taken for what it is worth—absolutely nothing! (By GORDON i4I. GREIG, Secretary -Treasurer and Fieldman) Margarine Ban n At a directors' meeting of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture held in Toronto on Friday, No- vember 10, a motion was passed unanimously to give every_ as- sistance possible to the Dairy Farmers' Co-Ordinating Boar et their fight to have margarine manufacture and sale banned by the Ontario Government. This was a long but e, very important step that the Federa- tion seemed to be dodging for a long time. There ` can be no speration' between the policy adopted by the Ontario Dairy Farmers and the policy fostered by the Federation of Agriculture. They must be united or a breach will come between them that will split the farm movement for years to come, With this thought Federation News war awarsommamtamma./.• in mind the Federation of Agri- culture is throwing its entire force behind the Dairy farmers in their efforts to havemar - g arine manufacture and s a 1 e banned, Representatives of the Dairy Farmers' outlined their policy and they have secured a power- ful ally in their efforts to have this destroyer of Canadian agri- culture removed from our midst. There is no question of regula- tions to control the manufacture of this substitute it must be an outrightban or every year will bring a renewed fight to keep this financial monster in check. To succeed we must have the unwavering support of every farmer, be he employed in the dairy industry or in some other type of farming. If our dairy industry goes down, the road to destruction the other branches of fanning will go with it. The lowly cow has been called the foster mother of the human race and throughout the world where you fend a prosperous nation you find a good dairy industry. This will be one of the im- portant topics for discussion at Huron County u t Federation Y atron of Ag- riculture ricultur e aur teal meeting in Clin- ton Town Hall on Wednesday, November 22. If you are directly or indirectly interested Y in this fight to free our dairy industry from bondage, don't fail to be there to add your voice to the multitude who. strive to make the farmer once more a free man, PAY FOR COUNCIL GODERICH—Goderich Council has authorized an annual allow ance of $300 to the mayor of Goderich and $150 annually to other' members of council, effec- tive January 1, 1051 The by-law authorizing the grants was passed five votes to two, Deputy Reeve' Earl Elliott' contended all fernier councillors ed served without b pay and his objection was backed i by Councillor J.

He had an interview with the team manager. The crux of the inter- view came when the manager said —"Let's smell your breath" That finished it, for the manager smel- led liquor on the young lad's breath and he told him straight, "You can't drink and play on my team. Drinking lessens your play- ing efficiency."
