TOMLINSON, Editor and Business Manager Plant Manager THURSDAY, JUNE 20, 1946 "SALUTE , TO AGRICULTURE" ri anada's weekly newspapers, throughout the length and breadth of the nation, have dedicated this week — known 'by many as National Farmers' Week — as a "Salute to Agriculture," and in this worthy 1.'ee'ognition of our basic industry, CLINTON NEWS - RECORD is proud to join. The editors of weekly papers represent the voice of rural Canada through more than 700 papers week by week. They serve and speak for .the most vital, productive element in our whole national economy, the farmers. We - deeni it most fitting at this crucial post-war period to bring to public attention just what farmers have done ''n the war effont and what they look forward to in the immediate post-war period. Durtlg six long years of war, farm parents have given more than 400,000 sons and daughters to the armed forces and industry. In the meantime, hard-pressed, hard - worked, older farm people actually have increased food production for the cause by more than 40 per cent., This all has been done without thought of their economic position. They rallied with only one thought: "Save our soil and our heritage with our flesh and blood for freedom and democ- racy." Thus is our "Salute To Agriculture." But what of the future? We have won the battle and we seek for 'peac'e. We are told by statesmen that oar hope for peace and security rests upon re-establishment of foreign markets for our farm surplus. This we believe is a true picture for farm producers. No peace can survive in a hungry world. But farmers are, as they have been in the past, faced with an economic set-up that places them in an inferior position in sharing the national income. They must no longer be considered "forgotten people." In the history of this country fanners never have rallied as a body under one poaiiti'oal banner to remedy their just claims for equality for agriculture. They have waited for the establishment of one impartial, unifying force to ,,.tate their case. It is found today in the voice of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, the voice of farmers from coast to coast, affiliated and resolute, destined to achieve the objectives of farmers everywhere in Canada. With all these thoughts set forth in a manner not to antagonize any other elements in our national life, but only to state obvious truths in respect of the farmers of Canada, it is deemed the course of wisdom and duty for the weekly newspapers of Canada to say a word of praise to the farm men and women of this great country at this time, and to suggest a view of the immediate future. May we add that the "Salute To Agriculture" thus ex- pressed, Will continue to be the concern of CLINTON NEWS -RECORD and other weekly newspapers always, year by year. O 0 0 HOW CAN I HELP? ow can I help the second National Clothing Col- lection which the Dominion Government is spon- soring and which is being organized by the Canadian Allied Relief, in co-operation with local committees? Clinton Lions Club, with H. C. Lawson as chairman, is in charge in this district, and a thorough house-to-house canvass is being made. Many people have been asking themselves this question and in order to facilitate the work of the volunteer collectors, the following is a partial list of the things that are badly needed by the millions of people in Europe whose homes Were destroyed and belongings looted by the enemy during World War. I1: Suits, overcoats, uniforms, work clothes for men and boys; Infant clothes of all types; Coats, dresses, aprons and smocks for girls and women; Shoes in pairs, tied securely with string; Caps, felt hats, knitted headwear. gloves, woollen socks, underclothing, piece goods; blankets, sheets and linens, draperies and remnants. All washable garments and goods 'should be washed, but' they need not be ironed. Other garments need not be dry-cleaned. Clothes without buttons are acceptable as supplies of buttons are now moving into lands where the clothing will be worn. Items that cannot be baled should not be given. These include straw 'hats, feather beds, pillows and mnattreeSses. The aiin of the National Clothing Collection, states Williams M. $irks, national chairman, "is the .gift of at leash one garment from every ,man, woman and child in Canada. That should not be too difficult in a country where the people 'are among the best fed and the best clothed in the world." i , !

Our grand opportunity is at hand; let us make use of it. O 0 0 Let's help kiil "the killer" --cancer!

ATKEY: This is my last call for your help on behalf of the National Clothing Collection for Europe's destitute. During the last six weeks the press and radio have co-operated 100 per cent to make Ontario conscious of the approaching campaign, which runs from June 17 to 29, inclnsvc. But now, as I am suire you realize, we are on the eve of the National Clothing Collection and I am writing to ask you for a last minute reminder in your columns as a final fillip to the drive. As Ontario Chairman for the Na- tional Clothing Collection, permit me to thank you for your assistance. Very sincerely yours, (Signed)—RUSSELL T. KELLEY Provincial Chairman, National Clothing Collection Toronto, June 14, 1946, Nothing New Under The Sun by Edna. Jaques The old saying that there is "no- thing new under the sun" is true a thousand fold in Europe. Here are a few excerpts from actual personal letters received in Ottawa lately, with no thought that they might appear in a newspaper: "My husband will soon be well enough to return from the Sanatorium and there is simply nothing for him to wear. He was wearing his prisoner - of -war rags when taken to the San, his own pre-war clothing I had long ago made over for the children, what we will do I cannot tell." "Micheline has constant colds be- cause she has never had sufficient clothing. She is still wearing a thin summer coat—the one she' bought for her wedding in 1938—Her winter coat she made into two for the children, two years ago, she is desperate." "Could you send some flannelette for Nanette's baby? The child is a year olcl and has never had a night- gown, we roll her in an old woolen shawl of my grandmothers. Nanette needs shoes and a coat, last winter we both wore the same old coat which is many 'years old, one of us always had to stay home." "Our neighbor's children suffer so terribly from lack of clothing that I am glad we no longer have children. The need is beyond imagination. There are men who are in bed ever since they got home from slave labor camps, they can't get better for lack of nourishing food, but even if they get well what would they put on their backs to go to work in, Any sort of used clothing that you could send would be heaven to us here." "We know that our destruction was necessary for the liberation, Now our recovery depends upon clothing that we may go to work, when work comes, This letter mqy sound inco- herent perhaps but if you find it so, it is merely a reflection of life today in Europe." "many children in their teens will never be tall or strong, and we older ones know that we will not live long, we have endured too much. Just ordinary decent comforts lite a heat- ed house and warm clothing we never have. The strong will survive, but the others will not." These are the people who fought behind the lines for all the desperate years of the German occupation, with- out their help the war might well have lasted years longer, they truly paved the way for victory. These are the ones who will re -build Europe, if it is ever rebuilt. From June 17 to June 29, a Clothing drive is in progress, by the National Clothing Collection sponsored by the Canadian Relief. Here are the things meet urgently needed; Suits, overcoats, uniforms, work. clothes for men and boys; infants' wear of all types; spats, dresses, aprons and smocks for girls and women; shoes in pairs (tied securely With string); caps, felt hats, knitted headwear, gloves and mitts; woolen socks, underclothing, piece goods; blankets, sheets and remnants. All washable goods should be clean, other garments need not be dry cleaned.
