DISCUSS F Oyer 1.50 young fanners Ober - ed in Walton Hall 'Wednesday eve' ring, Feb. 22, despite stormy wea-. ther and drifted roads, to hear an address on farm problems by Joe Phelps, farmer of Wilkie, Sask., who is past president of the Sas- katchewan Farmers' Union, and a very forceful speaker. Among those present were in- terested farmers from East Waw- anosh, Stanley, McKillop, TuCker- smith and Goderich Townships, At- wood, Clinton, .Varna, Tavistock and Wellington County. Mr. Phelps said: "I am no stranger to Ontario, having been born here, but went West some 40 years ago. If anyone has any idea of making an easy liding, don't go West, fpr if you want to. make a living in that country you'll have to work for it. We hear on the Prairies that the far- mers down east are rolling in wealth, but I have found the far- mers' situation is fundamentally the same in the East as well as the West. We have a great deal in common, because we are custom- ers of each other." Mr. Phelps was returning West from a conference with provincial ministers of agriculture at Ottawa and stated further, "I think the time has come when farmers should work closer with organized labor. I'm not going to excuse labor for some of the things they do, but everyone makes mistakes, even farmers. You often hear it said by farmers: we won't have anything to do with organized la- bor, but you might as well say you won't have any truck or trade' with cars or aeroplanes, or any other modern conveniences. It is a silly attitude to take, be- cause organized labor is our best customer; they buy our ham and eggs, and they must have money to buy it. And a lot in the ranks of organized labor are farmers' sons and daughters, for a lot of farmers have either been shoved off the farms or become discour- aged and quit. "The basic problems.of each group are the same. Canadian farmers are a liasou in preparing a program of joint action. Some people in organized Iabor have the idea that the farmer lives the life of Riley, but at the executive level they have had their eyes opened and are worried because the far- mer is labor's customer for most of their products." The speaker went on: "I didn't come here to preach blue ruin, but we must search diligently, for a way to pull ourselves out of our difficulties. "We want a National Farm Un- ion right acrass Canada. If .or- ganized labor have all. modern conveniences—television sets and new cars—then why consider it a luxury if farmers have the same. Some people think farmers should do as grandfather did, but we are not living in. grandfather's day. This is 1955. The machinery is here and we are going to use it. A lot of farmers have a partner, but it is the mortgage company, but a lot of mortgage companies won't risk thei& money on agri- OBL .MS !NG Armstrong ,was ga coWsion with the abutment ,of a bridge on the McKillop Boundary road, thrpwing the car into a nearby creek, right side up. He managed to free him- self and go -to a nearby farm home where he remained for the night. Luckily' he escaped with minor cuts and scratches. Mrs. Nelson -Reid, President of. the Huron Presbytery of the Wo- man's Association of the United Church of Canada, and Mrs. Frank Walters, President of the Walton Women's Association, attended an executive meeting in Ontario St. United Church, Clinton, last week. Owing' to road conditions the service in Duff's United Church was not as well attended as us- ual on Sunday -morning:. -Rev: --W M. Thomas spoke on "The Nation- al Evangelistic Mission" as being the concern of every church mem- ber, -giving money, time and ser- vice to the church. We should give ourselves to the Lord by being steadfast in prayer and study His Word. Our rule for Christian con- duct should be the Ten Command- ments. We must remember the first commandment: Thou shalt love no other Gods before Me. We can't serve two masters. Rev. Thomas will continue his series,df sermons next Sunday, with the Second Commandment. The choir sang "Peace, Sweet Peace," as an anthem, with Mrs. Harvey Brown at the organ. , The crokinole social, which was to have been held in the church on Friday evening, and sponsored by the 17th and Boundary Group, was cancelled owing to the slippery condition of the roads. Mrs. Margaret 'Humphries en- tertained the East Main Street Club on Thursday evening when pro- gressive euchre was played. Prize winners were: high, Mrs. W. Hum- phries; lone hands. Mrs. Fern Pat- terson; consolation, Mrs. Peter McDonald. Mr. Earl Mills spent two days in Toronto last week attending the Good Roads Convention. Mrs. Reta Orr, of Goderich, is visiting at the home of Mrs. M. Humphries. Miss Anne Haugh, of Brucefield, spent the weekend with Mr. and Mrs. Graham Sholdice. Mr. and Mrs. E. Craig and fam- ily, of Barrie, were recent visi= tors with the Craig families in the vicinity. Mr. Gene Genva, of Kitchener, and Mr. Murray Mills, of Brant- ford, spent Sunday with the lat- ter's parents, Mr. and Mrs.' Earl. Mills Mrs. John Hislop and Mrs. S. Sellers received word on Tuesday that their brother, William John Houston, had passed away in Daul- phin, Manitoba. , PROPERTY CHANGES.. The dwelling'of the late Mrs. J. C.

Euchre -Dance culture n the i More" Is Successful ora r e any Mr, g'i.el y slated eniptaticaIly: i "Its time to do some stocktaking to see if we have more money in- vested In machinery and equip - men than we have in the farm." A lot of people are living on de- preciation and think they have a lot of money, but today our power costs us a tremendous amount of money. so that's the main differ- ence between now and grand- dad's day. The implement com- panies and oil companies have a greater interest in our farms to- day than we think, so take stock. "I have no criticism for the Fed- eration of Agriculture; and I'm all for Commercial Co-ops doing the good job they are set up to do, but we should build up our farm un- ions and keep it operating in a d0h]eeratic way" At the conference in Ottawa the apple growers in Nova Scotia, the potato growers in New Brunswick, the mixed farffiers in Quebec, and the grain growers in the West, all reported to be in difficulty. Mr. Phelps stated Mr. Gardiner's ad- vice to the Western farmers was to produce more pigs and cattle, to feed their grain to, and market them, and the Western farmers intend to take Mr. Gardiner's ad- vice. "How will that affect the Ontario farmer? We believe we should have parity prices for our commodities." The average far- mer is not unreasonable; they are a fair-minded people as a whole. "The principle of the Hog Mar- keting Board is good; get behind it. The Government today is ready and willing to talk things over with farm delegations, and I believe some major changes will be made in the policy for agricul= ture soon." Farm Union is making progress. Our job is to make this old world a better place to live in, and the industry of agriculture a better in- dustry. We are here for a pur- pose; the time has come when we have to take another loold at the fundamentals of right living, jus- tice and equality, and forget pet- ty differences. In the question and answer per- iod which followed the address, the summary 8f some of the ques- tions was: It was agreed the Hog Marketing Board ' was a good thing, but dissatisfaction was ex- pressed with the personnel and set- up of the board. One question asked was: "Would parity prices be an incentive to over -produce? to which Mr. Phelps replied: "Then look for new mar- kets or hale a production, quota. True, hogs were imported in 1954, but co-operation is a two-way street, and all must remember we shipped hogs and cattle to the U.S. when they thought they had enough, and they didn't holler. That does not' present an nnsni- mountable problem. If the, farmer, 3s to have parity prices on -all pro- ducts, how tan they floods the mar, ket with any one thi g?"

"If we are care- less, we c .' not hope to preserve that he • ge,' he warned, as he drew . - ntion to what he termed the gr%wth of backdoor approaches to tters of public concern. B •sing his remarks on the Bibli- cal phrase, "salt of the earth" the speaker likened the words to what he hoped members of the Lions Club would be in their daily lives. They should be, he said, purifiers of corruption and preservers of all things that are'good. • The speaker was introduced by James A. Stewart, and the apprecia- tion of the meeting was expressed by G. C. Brightrall. Arrangements for the meeting were in the hands of Mr. Brightrall and Dr. V. J. Beehely, who acted as chairman.

Seaforth--Chambe ( Continued -from Page 1) Pending the introduction ofthe new agreement, the meeting agreed that commencing March 31, stores will remain open until 10 o'clock each Saturday evening for the sum- mer months., Mayor E. A. McMaster told the meeting that he had been named as an executive member of the Upper Grand Development Asso- ciation, and explained the objects of that association. .. No action was taken concerning a proposal to introduce a give- away program, designed to at- tract additional shoppers to the community. It was the consensus of the meeting that already Sea - forth stores offered buying" oppor- tunities in excess of those of other communities in the area. It was considered that this factor, if pro- perly advertised, would be suffici- ent to attract shoppers from the district.
