j~Challenge to Youth in Fild of Agriculture Members of the Durham County Federation ofa Agriculture were privileged ta hear an ex- Sceptionally fine address at the annual picnic in ?ý Orana Community Park, June 21. John Martin, SPublic Relations Counsel, Massey-Harris Com- e' pany, drawing upon a lifetime of experience Sclosely associated with agriculture, struck a re- ,~sponsive chord when he said that na uine of -work required so many qualities ai expert knowledge as that af successful farming. He Swon close attention alsa when hestressed that Sfarm youth be given every possible encourage- ment and a better standard of education ta con- tinue on the land which still was a way afi lue Sunsurpassed in the realm af human endeavor. It la retetted that the repart af hia address J s sa greatly abridged in this issue af The ,Statesman. For his review af the develapment af agriculture from pioneer days accompanied' with the development af labor-saving farm Smachinery and the march of science was carried. on ta a summation ai how organiztd farmers Sthrough domestic -and world Fedprations were Sapproaching the day when agriculture would rightfully share in al the fruits, af its produc- tion. He visualized a growing partnership be- ~tween industry and farming as a result oi the- develapment af Farm Federations. and the re- *cognition by bigbusiness that the farm mîarket continues ta be the basic market in aur econoray. *But the central thought oi his inspiring message was rural yauth today was an the > threshaid ai the greatest apportunities ever open Wh successful iarming. He suggested that minsce industry was ever an the alert ta capture the services ai boys and. girls irom the iarm the -best way W meet thia competitian was ta make,.farring so attractive that the trend might Sbe directed the ather way. Granted that modern communications and new inventions brought the Samenities afi- urban lufe ta iarms, there stili remained the vital essential ai providing a wicler Sedueatian and campensatlng leisure ta round o ut thel picture on the farm front. This vision, we believe, -la beginning Wo maIke itzelf apparent. Bowmanvllle Band Too Long Denled Support SSeveral times durlng and ince the war 'The Statesman has stated editarially that a town »M band is one ai thé mast important organizations : ln the cômmunity. We have said that a town Swthaut A band là a town withaut a soul, and Swhlle many agree with this sentiment we have Sgone an year aiter year giving little financial support and less public enthusiasm Wo the men Swha have so faithiully tried ta build up the Bowmanville Band. Down Wo araund seven Snembers during wartime due ta heavy enlist- Sments, rnany af the boys have returned ta try Wo take up where they leit off and help. the :Bandmaster re-establish a band worthy ai an Senterprising town. But it has been slow work and much retarded by lack ai a decent budget fram municipal funda. %The time has came ta change ail this apathy on the part ai the public. It is somewhat in- Svidiaus ta have ta import autside bands ta Zheadline carnîvals and local celebrations. In years gone by we have had aome very notable Sbanda ln this town. We need not take second Î, Place ta any town in thia respect for we have znany able musicians and fine leadership with which Wo recapture a position once held. The SBowmanville Band even laaned many instru- Sment. in the late war Wo military headquarters a nd iew have been returned. But it wilU take no great iinancial autlay ta repair thia loss. Ail that is needed is a revived public opinion and Sfinance becomea a secondary Item. In vlew ai present circumstances we sug, gest that Bawmanville Band, naw made up of' so many returned veterans should be arganizéd as a semi-military unit. We believe the public will support what we may term the Bowman- ville Legion Band. Since soa many bandamen are membera af the Legion it la a prospect *Warth considering. Given distinctive uniorma ~and needed instrumenta we lielieve that in a very short time the preaent neucleus can expand into oanc ai the finest band arganizations in the Scountry. If we have donc nathing ese in this * brief éditorial we hope It will lead ta public Sdiscussion and ultimate ca-aperative action. For a matter ai this kind is certain»y a ca-aperative Wby Do Men Work? "Wbrk or Want" is the aew slogan which appe ars an British posters. It i. an effort Wo rouse the nation te meet the crisis ai under- production. But will appealing ta men's fears produ ce ticý work that is wanted? I. this the inspiration that wiil make men want ta work? "It i. not truc that men iost their will ta work," says Mr. Farrar Vickcrs, a British busi- ness man. "But we are trying ta whip thcm ta work by fear or lure thern ta work by greed. Fear and greed arc obstacles which choke and blind, and set man against man and nation agains t nation. These obstacles are what we are trying ta use as incentives and il just won't womk."0 What wiil work? Why do men work? Men work and work best, says Mr. Vickcrs, not when you rouse their grced. and fear but when you fre hein irom greed and fear. "Only free men give ful production. Our common figit naw, workers alI ai us, is the figit for freedoin af spirit. Thc responsibiiity ai indus!- rial leadership is ta free men at ieart ta give their best work, and tien ta make this gif t available ta meet tie necds ofthie nation." In the Vickers' plant, apparcaîly, there are men who want ta work. And thc hopeftil spec- tacle of men who Want ta work. would seem ta us more inspiring ta warkers everywherc than the grim spectacle ai "Work or Want." Who la Laughing ? With teen-agers ail over the country cam- paigning against 'eight-cent chocolate bars someone has suggested the govermient adopt ita famed war-timc evasive action and subsidize candies. This would be iuany if we wemen't suifering taa muci iroin the subsidies tiat are sti11 leit. We agrec there sbould be a five-cent bar. But Communist-inspired parades and a subsidy system are not the answer. Witiout really ofering a solution ta the problein we point ta the aystein ai contrais and aubsidy that still govern aur bread and ilour producta as a hor- rible exampie, ai what not ta do. In this case tie subsidy is .caled a draw- back. Fiaur -prices are frozen at a ceiling re- lated ta wheat selling at 77 and five-egti cents per bushel as in tic base period ai 1941. But wheat now sella at $1.58y2/ per bushel wien miiled into flour for domestie use. In order ta keep tic price ai flour low the gavemament pays a drawback ai 81 and ane-elghli cents per bushel ta millers. Il amounts ta about $35,-. 000,000 per annuin. Sa we pay low price for bread and other ilour products, and pay tic remainder in taxes, for that la whcre the drawback maney has ta be raised. If lie gavernment abolished this systein ai paying a drawback ta millers, prices ai flour products would increase, partly due ta lncrcased production costa alsa, but we could cul aur taxes. We couid by the saine figuring have a nickel bar, but subaidized la arder Wo raise the other lirce cents by taxes. Au prices dropped taxes would lancrease. The flerry-g-rouad ai sub- sidies la Woo caniuaing Wo be suggesîed as a solution toanay problem, even in jeot. WIli Premier Douglas Resign?

GET A FREE X-RA Y BASIC POLICY This column has gQne over the record in several previaus articles with recent.einphasis on the question ai immigration. It, ha. became clear1Y apparent that un'der tihe domesic circum- stances ai today the only way ta givefarinera relief and Increase food production is ta bing in averseas help îéventuaily Wo become Canadian citizens. The Prime Minister has recagnized and ha. publicly admitted this ta be aur basic immigration policy. He is right, absolutely. RENTED PRIVILEGES But what has béeen the result? Let us look at the recent, develapinents. First, Ottawa* leased its immigration scheme to permit -an findustralist, a Liberal M.P., ta bring in imimigrant help Wo work in his miIls in Quebcc. Second, Reconstruction Minister. Howe announced that a joint govenmcnt-industrial iease',wauld.# permit other European displaced persons ta enter Canada. for employmnent in industry. He did nat say a word about help- for farmers. It was aIl industry. TUMID IN SHIPPING Concurrently the same Minister announced in the House ai Commoris that the Canadian Merchant. Marine was potentially the third largest in the world. That is ta Say if we. want good immigrants today we surely have means ai bringing them ta this country, quite aside froin leased ships and' air transport. But in the next breath he stated that the supreme drawback waa lack ai shipping accommodation. ONTARIO PREMIER Third hi ail this strange immigration application, G eorge Drew, Premier ai Ontario, went personally ta Britain iast month ta see what could be done ta bring out, nat Europeans but British, peoples, ta relieve the help problein oi Ontario. Hîs concern was flot industry but the pressing needs ai Ontario farmers and the lumbering and rnining industries of this pro'- vincde, the reai primary industries. He was tiven a Pat an the back bye Ottawa before he left. BRITISH IMMIGRANTS The resuit is that after John Bracken, Leader ai the Progressive Conservative Party at Ottawa, demandcd an im- mediate down-ta-earth immigration policy it is now coming into effect thrbugh the action oi Premier George Drew ai Ontar-o, wha has arranged ta transport by air somne 7,000 Britishers im- mediately ta take up employment on1 farms and in primary in- dustries. In this accurate statement it will be seen that Ottawa has resigned cômpletely its respansibilities in immigration. This article concludes ail too briefly a discussion on im- migration and the pressing need for competent help an Canadian iarms.
