April 20th, when all those betwee.': 18 and 60 are urged to otfer them- | selves and donate their blood that our wounded soldiers will have a chance for life. We at home in our comfortable homes are made safe oy the blood spilt for us by our fight- ers. Many men in this district have not upheld their end of the w." -f- fort, so are urged to get in touch with the secretary. Mrs. F.' B. Keys, and secure diet sheet, in order that your blood would become acceptable. There is a greater need for blood plasma today than ever before. Our recent Red Cross campaign for funds was over-subscribed by 25 per cent of that of last year, so let in the blood donors' clinic by being 25 per cent over our high of last year, when 152 donors attended one clinic. Even though the seeding is on. there is the other fellow to think about and his chance for life. NOREEN GRUMMETT .MAXWliLL. PASSES y 1 tk.

THE F-^RM CO.MM UNITY OF TO-MORROW By Kenneth Betzner, President, On- tario Federation nf Agriculture. (Note â€" This is the sixth of â-  â- ies of comments by well- '• -ow" authorities, written ex- pressly for the Weekly Press of Ontario.) The farm community of tomorrow must be made more attractive if Canadian agriculture is to hold on the farm the aggressive type qf boy? inii girls which will maintain our agricultural economy on a "ar with )th.r industries. Canadian agricultural income of Sl,397 million in 1943 in comparison with $384 million in 1932 has put the farmer in a better financial position to make the farm community of to- iiorrow more attractive and so t:' -' ' more of our intelligent farm boys and girls. I am not saying. 1943 is extraordinarily high, in vie"- ho-'vever, that the farm income of of the 40 r"" cent increase in pro- i"c:ion achieved since the war be- gan. Nevertheless, farmers should en- deavour to lay away some of this â- "-e-eased revenue in such sound in- vestments as Victory Bonds. Indi- vidual savings will make possible the purchase, in post-war years, of new farm equipment now being de- veloped by technological research. For example, lighter farm machin- ery will be made of durable alloys developed during wartime research. Savings will make possible the re- pair and improvement of farm build- ings for which labour and materials have been impossible to procure dur- ing wartime. Savings will make possible the el- ectrification of rural communities, the erection of new buildings which ,v:l! make working conditions on the farm more efficient, soil conserva- tion (which must be practised by all farmers if Canadian agriculture is to maintain its present level of pro- duction), the improvement of farm fences and general farm beautifica- tion. .Another use for money now put into Vctory Bonds will be the improvement of livestock and the use of properly graded seed. .A post-war need whi<;h I would enphasize is the better education of our children. Last, but not least, of the post- war uses of cash reserves I put tra- vel and pleasure for the farm fam- ily. Many farmers, while their sons and daughters have been in the ser- vice have been carrying on during wartime with little or no help and with inadequate equinment. Mother and Dad have carried on the farm pr:duction and. yes in many instan- ces have increased production. Sure- ly these true patriots are entitled to a fair share of travel and leisure in the post-war era. Now let me repeat that the farm community of tomorrow must rest on price stahility â€" fair prices for farm products and fair prices for what the farm must buy. I think it. can be argued that the farmer by saving now is making a double con'* tribution to post-war stability (aside entirely from helping the war effort with the purchase of Bonds): First, farm buying power aftf - the war will contribute to industil I prosperity and stimulate the dome: - tic market for farm produce. TJr - less farm purchasing power is buoy- ant and strong all indnsrary will lose one of its greatest potential unsup- plied markets and unemTiloyment must uesult. There can be no isola- tionism in our pcst-war planning since our national success is depen- dent upon thp economic partnership of all groups and classes in 'solving- our economic problems. Second, by saving now farmers are helping to avoid inflation-and even- tual deflation. Farmers probably would lose more than any other •rroup in the event of a strong in- (flationary movement of prices, be- cause farm prices tend to lag behind other prices when the movement is upward, and it would take another four or five years of struggle to get agricutlural prices up to the same parity with other prices that they now have. .And t>efore that was achieved inflation might have turned into a crash which would, as usual take farm prices to the bot- tom of the trough, if price floors could not withstand the impact. Farm prices lag behind when the price trend is upward, but they lead I the van when the movement is defla- I tionary. ' Through price stability and pro- l per marketing agencies at home and i abroad the farm community of to- ; morrow can become the Utopia that , our boys overseas are fighting for today.

CANADIAN 4i RED CROSS ATTEND FLESHERTON CLINIC Ppr-^- APRIL 20 Baptist Church INutex Crowds packed to capacif- Cedar- side Baptist Churcn Sunday even- ing on the occasion of the Easter Fireside Seiwice. Many were turn- ed away for want oi standing room even in the vestibule. An interest- ing program of story and song cen- tering around the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ was high- lighted by a Diorama depicting in miniature the Cross and Empty Toraib. The picture was complete with stones, simulated grass, trees and garden. .A rough wooden cross on a green hill occupied the middle background. It was surrounded by thorn and mis- shapen aim branches which contri- buted t(r the symbolism oi the pic- ture. .At the right forearound the empty tomb with the .Angel and the two Mary"s was surrounded by Eas- ter lilies and graceful birch branch- es which had been spray painted a delicate pastel pink. The latter pre- sented a marked contrast to those around the Cross. In a valley be- tween the hills coloured lights of symbolic significance concealed and played upon the Cross during the minister's solo "The Old Wayside Cross.'" .At an appropriate point irt the first stanza a flood-light was thrown upon the garden scene in the foreground which up to that time had been purposely hidden in the shadows. .A male trio consisting of Frank. Thurston. Frank Duncan and F. B. Keys sang "The Old Rugged Cross"" ana "In "The Garden". Miss Hazel Wainwright and Miss Evelyn McClelland of Owen Sound rentlered appropriate solos very ac- ceptably indeed. Mrs. Hutchinson gave a reading. Mr. Jack Perkins offered a cornet solo, and Miss C. Hiitchinson told the story "The Land 0" the Leal"". .A piano solo "The Lilv of the Valley" was play- ed by Jean Bviyce. Mr H. .A. Mil- ligan operated the controls of the lighting arrangement throughout. i Rock Mills" Baptist Church was ! filled to overflowing at the Easter Sunday evening service when the â-  Diorama was featured there. Mr. ' '- Porteon? assisted with the on that occRslon and a young
