In 1939 a successful Black and White Fair was held in Goderich and a well attended Banquet was held in Clintotl itt November. In 1940 a Spring meeting in Clinton was both interesting and instructive.

"BARN DANCE" HERE AGAIN Three months ago the "CKNX Baht Dance;' a favourite broadcast thro- ughout this district, was put on from Clintotl and many availed themselves of the chance to see it and meet the performers. This Saturday night, Feb. 1st, CK- iNX. will again broadcast this hour - and -a -half" program direct from the stage of Clinton Totten hall. The artists, announcer, operator, and oth- ers from the station will be there in. person where all may watch the pro- ceedings. An entire new and different east of entertainers is promised for this ap- pearance. This will also be the op- portunity for some who failed to get seats for the last Clinton broadcast. Full details will be found in the ad- vertisement elsewhere in this issue. IN THE LETTER 130X HOW FARMERS CAN HELP THEMSELVES Why should we as,farmers be in terested in starting listening groups to hear the series of farm broadcasts over C.B.C. that have already start- ers? This is a question that should merit the serious consideration of t.11 responsible intelligent citizens. Although there are secondary and minor benefits that should accrue as a real impetus given to good whole- some community sociability, the writ- er feels he is cermet in stating that an extensive 'development of listening groups will give a real boost to the work of organizing our aelieultural iudustry, As most of you already know we have in Canada a young Dominion wick fas'ntees organization namely, the Csnadian Federation of Agriculture. To make this organiz- ation a more virile powerful force it is neceesaty that we farmers on the back concession become informed regarding our problems and how they may be met and then conte to a. real- isation that each ole of us can be- come a vital little in this ttationttl farm organization. As this letter is being written the President of our National organiz- atlon, Mr. H. H. Hannan (along witi. several supporters) is in Ottawa pleading the ease of Agriculture be- fore Premier Ring and the whole federal cabinet, The fact that our farm leaders are able toobtain such an audience front the government in. this was period is a very encourag- ing progressive step but has it not struck us as ordinary farmers. that the presentation of our ease would be far more effective if we were all militant supporters of this "Canad- ian Federation of Agriculture," After ten years of verydifficult times many farmers are more or less discouraged and adopt tt more or less defeatist attitude. They will remark something of this natare, "Fanners have tried to organize many times be- fore and their efforts have invariably resulted ie. failure because fanners will not stick together." Unfortun- ately many attempts of farmers to or- ganize have'failed but no purpose can everbe made by adopting a defeatist attitude, All legislative reforms and progress in history have been brought about by people who refase to accept defeat but keep alive a vision of het - ter things and put forth consistent and persistent efforts to stake their vision become a reality: While the problem of bringing pros- perity to our ttictustry may be . dif- ficult it is by no means insolveablo or incapable of solation. In fact it is 'imperative that We sooner or later bring reform and a preater measure of equality and parity prices itt ottr economic relat- ionships if we are going to pertetuato democracy and make it work. The role we are asked to take as producers at this time is a very easy and simple one. We are asked tovol- untarily study and think about our faun difficulties in a systematic way through the medium of the radio and' CITT FLOWERS FLORAL DESIGNS For Every Occasion C. V.
