here in this neighbourhood where f write we havr m hard lean country where everywhere the earths bones stick up through the surface in the shac of long limestone ridges and plateaus in between the ridges lie more or leu fertile pockets of soil the countryside wai settled by loyal ist immigrants over a crntruy and a half ago they had to win a living somehow or other from what lay ar ound them ai have their descendants since no wonder of course that they drove the harried earth to des truction how ily the usual method cut ting down the wood for fuel exposing the bare rock underneath it turning the cattle into what was left and let ting them graze the underbrush the result ii that now just five or six gen erations after the pioneering genera tion as compared with the hundred generations or so of european peas antry they are square miles of noth ing but bleak flat limestone fields covered with sagebrush ifuch of the country is to bad that men have giv en up today city people have made many a derelict farm into a country place in his way farms may have become playthings but at least the cattle are being kept out of the woods and the trees are recovering what is the secret of the old world peasant that enables him to go on pro viding food and food surpluses gen eration after generation while our farmers at varying speeds reduce this continent to a desert is it not simply thst he expects to stay where he is following the same mode of life as his father and which his sons will follow after him he is a peasant yes quite simply and the word means a countryman one whose whole existence is bound up with the land from which he lives he docs not expect to make his pile and get out he stays put and cares for mrstskuoe speaks at teacher banquet the annual banquet of the esques- ing unit women teachers federa tion was held in aeton fifty mem bers enjoyed a turkey dinner io st a 1 bans parish hall catered to by the ladies guild of the anglican church those attending were from

nothing new under the sun she was presen ted with a gift mr skuce public cshool inspector was also a guest what hes got canadians do not like the word peasant for it seems to them to connote something lowly a narrow life of tqil and poverty we fool ourselves about it many a kur- opean peasant is a sturdy indepen dent man many of our fanners especially those on marginal soilh ure in the invidious sense of the term peasants in this country in the ban ner province ontario there are large districts of peasant and pretty poor samples of peasants at that hut even our lowest down pravanti i suppose have some kind of dream of escaping from their lot and gninf off to become city millionaires and that is the poisonous weed in our gar den an example of ii111 comes from a spot in ontario where an industrial development has nped the farmers off a couple of thomand acres of farm land one man who was bought out said that the farm had been in his family since the original grant from the crown and that he was living in the same house in which several gen rations of his people had been born it will come hard to quit the old place be was reported as saying however you cant stand in the way of progress and so he pocketed bis money and i suppose moved into town progress thats the word this mad scampering about the country on wheels this brittle mechanical civil ization of ours thats what the pop ular mind identifies with progress kor some people it will be a great day when the entire surface of the earth has become on smooth concrete plain on which cars can charge about in every direction unhindered- the very noise and speed of modern life to many people constitutes progress i heard yean ago of a polish immi grant in western canada who refused with scorn the offer someone made him for his homestead its my home was hts simple and dignified response perhaps the future lies that way the simpler people who have been crowding in here as immigrants will displace us old wastrels and sinners they will tske cafe of mother earth and when they come to possess the countryside with the restjeas anglo- saxon cooped up in his dark satanic mills they will not be far from pos sessing the country too for from the countryside comes the annual surplus crop of human beings who mainly keep the cities going it may be just as well we english- speaking people are a brash arfogant and wasteful
