hmvnrable the production oo the home front must be maintained if victory is to be secured at the earliest possible moment canadian casualties pour ing in now f rami france and italy are a challenge to those ai home to maintain production and continue to serve without unnecessary interruptions all realize full well that in these days the hours andl speed required are not all that may be desired neither are conditions on the fighting front ideal a fnw weeks or so ago we hod a letter from some local boys in france they hadnt bad bread for thirty days in that particular spot this week we read another letter to an employer in which one of the boys said tell the men to keep turning out the leather for we hove oi long walk ahead of us to berlin and we need boots thanks to the common sense of workers in this community there has- been no work stoppages and the plants have kept going full blast its a pity all canadians did not take the same viewpoint and the strikes in montreal quebec halifax and kitchener would not have happened the production line in this war comes close to the front bne in assuring an early victory canadians at home have a duty as well as those in france and

pitiable that we leave to obituaries awl butaiians all the good things to recall about because of farm labor shortages caused by the drain or manpower into the armed forces and war industry the federal government is assisting in seasonal exchanges of workors between eastern and western canada the immediate aim or course is to save crops which otherwise might go to waste that is partic ularly important in view of war developments whiih indicate u growing need for foodstuffs of all kinds to care for the millions in liberated and soon-to-bc- liberated areas of europe but there is u longterm advantage in the plan which is not so apparent the wider knowledge of canada and its inherent possibilities for development which is being given to thousands of canadian men before the war harvest excursions to the prairies were arranged each autuknn with special low rail way fares under the governments plan the fares are reduced still lower for these farm workers and the movement is in both directions the decision whether this scheme should be car ried over into peacetime lies naturally with the fed eral government which helps meet the travel cost certainly the matter warrants earnest consideration ill the interests of all canada most of the workers who travel from west to east in the summer und thoscwho accompany them back lo the prairies in the early autumn for harvest woik are young they pick up new ideas quickly are keen ly interested in the different farming methods they encounter and in the viewpoints of another section of their mast country particularly since the war began there has been much talk in parliament and elsewhere on the need for national unity that temporary exchange of young men between cast and west will foster unity goes without saying- the better understanding there is among the nine provinces the better for canada v elbow roans war has a way of denying at every turn the elbow room that makes for gracious living trains streetcars buses hotels
