These poppies are manufactured in the vetcraft Shaps of Canada workshops in which handicapped veterans are given sbeltered ernploymeflt, and in which tbey manufacture the hundreds of thousands o! poppies which are dis- tributed every year at this time. B3Y wearng a poPPY. citizens can f ind much satisfaction in knowing that they are helping these handicapped veterans to obtain a livelihood which they would othcrwise lack on ac- count o! their special disabilities. This twofold appeal should find a ready response in the hearts and mmnds of the people o! this com- mjunity, which has always been ready ta help make the way casier for those o! its citizens who served country and Empire inl the Great War. We commend it to their sym- pathetic consideration, in the hope that they will respond generously ir this year o! great nced. and thus belp ta hold the torch flung to theiT by those who did flot comne back fromn the great struggle. QUESTION 0F FAEM EFFICIENCY An unusual feeling o! sympathy is directed to the fariner in these days o! extremnely 10w prices for his produce, but another angle on this subjcct opens a new trend o! thought in the f olowing editorial f rom the Christian Science Monitor: Efilciency being an American fet- ish. it is small wondcr that mnany business men feel the f arm Problem would cease to exist if f ariners would only learn ta be more efficient. Cer- tainly there is room for raising the general level more nearly to that of the most successful farmers. But for agriculture as a whole, what is the measure o! efficiency? The Amnerican fariner bas been efficient enough to provide the American people with an abundance of f ood. He is supplyirig that food at amazingly 10w prices. From thel consuiner's standpoint. agriculture could hardly be more efficient. He would like more o! the same kind o! efficiency on the part o! the produc- ers o! other commodities. It is truc that the f armer has donc rnuch better for the public than lie bas for himself. But perhaps that is not due to his own inefficiency 50 much as ta the system under whicn bis products are marketed. Bakers say that buying wheat is such a amaîll part o! the cost of a loaf o! bread that they could hardly reduce the price o! bread if the farmer gave away bis wheat. Before the war, the spread between the price of live bogs and the price of ham was 18 cents a Pound. That spread is now nearly 40 cents. If the farmer haul- ed bis hogs ta the nearest shipping point and gave thein away, the city housewife would stiil pay 40 cents a Pound for bam. The complica- tions o! modern business have sep- arated the fariner f rom bhis custom- ers by so long and winding a road tbat the consullfer's dollar has sbrunk ta sometblng resembling a quarter by the time It gets back to the tarin. There are those wba would turn the task of food production over to great corporations. They overlook the social value to the nation of 6,000,000 farm bornes. Their argu- ment is solely an tbe grounds o! efficieiicy, and mass production is their watchword. Corporation farni- ing might be efficient In supplying the stock excbanges witb security issues, but industry bas been doingi well at that task witbout help tramn the farins. It might promnote effic- iency by laying off haif the farniers when tinies are hard, but surely there is enough o! that ta conteiid with now. The corporation farin could hardly hope ta be efficient enough to supply the markets witb- professions andi business demand higher standards. he must stay in school longer to qualif y, while the positions he might have f illed will be occupied by older men whose work-span has been lengthened by preventive medicine. During the current business re- cession. it is especially important that as many young men and women be kept in school as possible. so as not to swell the ranks of the unem- ployed cther by their presence or through the displacemeflt 0f others now at work. President Hoover's EmergencY Committee on Unemploymetlt has urged that individuals and organiz- ations encourage coilege and higli school graduates who can aford an- rother year in school, to take it. Not 1only would these young men and wo- tmen thereby be employing their time - nterestjngly when otherivise theY ewould probably be idie for lack of a 1job, but they would also be fitting sthemselves ta qualif y for the rising ,1 vocational requirements ivhen posi- tions do become available-The Ro- tarian Magazine. CAST OUT FEAR If humanity would cast out f car, the iîls that beset the world wu0 begin ta fade like mîsts o! the morn- ing. Fear is the forerunner of catas- trophe, the begetter o! violence, the seed o! war. Fear blocks the channeLs o! trade and turns the moncY markets o! the world into places where men whis- :;er together and tremble at every rumor like leaves in the wind. Fear puts the bomb into the as- sassin's hand. Fear lets loose the forces o! per- secution. Fear is the end o! happiness. Cast it out. Be done with it.

It has been estini- ated that 80 per cent of ail retail1 buying is done by womnen. They hold the purse strings and man, as a ule, is very glad to have it so. By reason of this f act women have as- sumed a great responsibility, the ser- iousness o! which is not always ap- preciated. For, by virtue o! this buying power, women have it in their hands to make the town in which they live a thriving commun- ity if they shop locally and thus keep their money circulating in their own home town. Several teachers' associations have been passing resolutions suggestirig that the censorship of moving pic- tures should be tansferred f romn the present Board o! Censors to the Departmnent of Education, or in other words let the teachers do the censoring. Well, we dont know about that. if tis idea hadnt come f romn a teacher the suggestion might have been blamced on that ever in- creasing group o! parents who look to the sehool teachers nowadays to do everything f rom brushing their childrcns teeth in the morning to tucking them under the clothes at nght aftcr reading them a bedtime story. Nope! There may be plenty of room to improve the standard o! movies but leave the school teachers in the class room where they alrcady have one o! the biggest jobs in the world. Most newspaper circtilation con- tests are about as crooked as any swindling gamne perpetrated upon an innocent public. It is therefore not surprising ta find that a western Ontario newspaper has had a suit entered against it by one o! the un- successful candidates who dlaims $800 on the ground that he was the winner by over six million votes. The newspaper. o! course. dlaims that there were charges of irregular- ities against this particular candi- date and these were found to have a foundation o! fact, and the pay- ment o! the prize money was re- fused an that account. Its a won- der more bitten candidates have not demanded a recount o! the ballots when they !ound how the votes had been juggled ta make them believe swim orily ta find at the finish they were only suckers. The Ontario Shore Gas Company in the past six months have expend- cd $266,500 on installation and labor on its gas system in this district, Gordon D. Canant.

This is o! interest t Bowmanville, for o! this sum wel over 25, o! it has been spent on the system in and approaching Bow- manvîlle. It is not hard to realize what this has meant ta the coin- munity when these added figures were gîven: O! the above amount $85.000 was paid in wagcs and con- siderable portion a! this faund its way into the hands o! Bowmanville workmen, Bowmanville nierchants, and then on into the town exchcqu- ers through the payirnent of taxes.
