PERILS OF AGRICULTURE of a century ago, are returning to popular use in streamlined form and the introduction will release thous- ands of tons of steel for tanks and guns. As the war goes on, probably many other old-time devices will disappear. CLAIM EYE TEST NEEDED The heavy increase in the number of fatalities on the highways has called for more patrols and a stricter check-up on erring motorists. The suggestion of a well known consult- ing automotive engineer, that all drivers should toe compelled to under- go a re-examination driving test every five years, is worthy of con 1 sideration. He amplifies it by declar ing that every motorist should be compelled to have his eyes checkd by an optometrist. THE CJ.O. AN ENEMY From all accounts the canker in the industrial situation in Ontario is the intrusion of the C.I.O. into the picture. The Ford Company of Can- ada is responsible for the statement that official statistics show that of all the time lost throu^n strikes in the first six months of this year, 86.9 percent ha* occurred where the C.I.O. is involved, despite the fact that the C.I.O. represents only 1.4 percent of workers in Canada. Just now a fight looms between the mine operators in the Kirkland Lake goldfields and the CJ.O., and the next battle will prob- ably be in the plant of the Ford Company of Canada, where the C.I.O. is endeavoring to gain a foothold. There is no question of wages at issue, as both the Ford Company and the gold mines' ra'e of pay is higher than the average for all Canadian industry. The mine operators and the Ford Company, as well, are prepared to negotiate a collective bargaining agreement with the employees of their respective organizations. The i .Lit , an outside organization, de mands to be recognized as the sole representative of the employees. Knowing the manner in which John L. Lewis dominated oligarchy re- spects its agreements, the corpora- tions involved are not prepared to hazard placing their operations with- in the power of the C.I.O. Ontario has had some experience of what follow* in the wake of C.I.O. de- mands. The abortive McKinnon in- dustries strike at St. Catharines, the attempted hold up of the Campbell Soup Company plant at New Toron- to, the election defeats at the Alum- inum plant in Kingston and the flurry at the Canadian Packers' plant in Toronto, are some cases in point. In respect to the gold fields trouble a strike will not hear so heavily on the mine operators or their share- Holders, but a shut down would entail great suffering on the miners, bus- iness men and residents of the Kirk- land Lake area. In 1940 the pay roll of the mines totalled $0,063,837, and pnrcha.se of supplies, equipment, etc., $6,72(5,200. The revenue from the mines is all the district has to fall upon and municipal, school nnd The old cry of starvation amidst plenty is being heard in Ontario and Government agricultural representa- tives declare a shortage of food pro- ducts may face consumers unless something is done to supply help to the farmers. It is pointed out that despite increased demand for farm products, agriculturists face a ser- ious shortage of labor, hay and grain. This has placed a large numiber of farms on the market, while others art- being used for pasture or worked on a share basis. Even a casual reading of the weekly newspapers of the province discloses a surprising number of auction sales, and this would seem to indicate that many people are forsaking the farm indus- try. The high wages prevailing in war industries have induced many young people to give up farming, and in some cases, farmers are rent- ing their farms out for grass past- ures in order to enter munition plants themselves. Lack of rain in Ontario last summer resulted in a shortage of hay and grain. It is hoped this condition will be alleviat- ed in a measure by coarse grain ship- ments from the West, on which the Federal Government will pay the freight. Dairy farmers are said to be the hardest hit by the shortage, since more labor is involved and con- centrated feeding now costs one-third to one-half more than in former years. Baled hay now sells for from seventeen to nineteen dollars per ton, compared with ten dollars a year ago. Loose hay in the barns is sell- ing for from fourteen to sixteen doll- ars, while last year it was seven doll- ars per ton. The great lack, how- ever, is help and the opinion is gain- ing ground that the government will have to take steps to rectify the sit- uation, before many of the more elderly people left to do the farming, become discouraged and relinquish the struggle. ROCK MILLS Wedding bells are loudly ringing. The Rock Mills war workers met Thursday afternoon, Nov. 13th, in the basement of the church with 17 ladies present. They completed a quilt for the refugees. Mr. and Mrs. Levi Duckett and daughter, Reta, visited Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Hawkins and family. A crokinole party will be held at the home of Walter Akitt Thursday night, Nov. 2"th, under the auspices of Rock Mills war workers. A silver collection will be taken.

CHANGE IN STYLES At some of the auction sales held throughout the province, old fashion- ed beds with springs made of hempen rope have been placed on the block with fow bidders, the only purchas- ers being those with an obsession for antiques. Those corked beds, how- ever, were once regarded as a strfk- inpf advance over the old succession of wooden slats on which the bedticks stuffed to repletion with nice fresh straw, were placed.
