W. JAMES, Editor. THtJRSDAY, JUNE 19, 1941 Weekly Newapapers Tell 0f War Iu this issue will be found a short article*: "Joint Air Training Plan, Canada 's Great- est Enterprise," written by Editor Hugli * Templin of the Fergus News-Record. Two illustrations accnpany the article, and thia i. the beginning of- a seies which will ap- pear regularly in ail the weekly papers thet arc members of The Canadien Weekly News- papers Association, Ontario section. The idea is ta promote knowledge througliaut rural Ontario, of just wbat Canada lies donc and la trying ta do in this unprecedented wer. In this, the Weekly press acta inde- peudently aud secures its information, autli- cnticaily, direct from officiel, supemvised cen.somed sources. Only facts will be car- icd, devaid of politica and propaganda. The writem chasen ta prepame the series, * Hugh Templin, is anc of the niost widely known editors in Canada, a man whose wide experience enables him ta sift fact from politiedl fiction and give a virile pic-, turc of just what we are doing in this wam. Several articles et the beginning wrnl deel with the Commonwealth Air Training Plan of whiéh we kuow very little, generally. There is anc more thing we'should record about this series; that la, the C.W.N.A., lias the full and appreciative support of the govemument and all the faiities of veriaus departments are freely evailable. It ail sums up therefore, ta the fact that aour Federal Govemument recognizes et lest * and complctely, the power au d usefuluess and extent of the voice of the rural press. And toalal who edit or publlah a weekly ncwspeper not yet within the C.W.N.A., it ahould tel wbat the spirit of cooperation eau do. And that is, siniply and forcefully to present dlaims and offer services ta gov- crament. lu a wey that 'becornes s0 impres- sive and productive of results, that recogni- tion becomes a matter of course. Up Goes Bacon Week cnd reports are that hogs of 'bacon type have reached 13:50 dessed weight, or in other words, "rail grade." This, if fig- ured at 20-25 per cent dress down, would work out around 10:25-10-50 live weight, which la a cousiderabie advance ou the 8:25- 8:-40 a few monthsaega. But thla advence lies been little lieralded or commented upon. It has been accepted with such a "matter- af-course" attitude that theme is beginning ta be heard the prediction that fermera will, iu time, experience prices commensurate with those of 1916-1920. But, in conversation with a fermer who turns off bath bacon hogs and beef cattle, and wlio i. exceptioually well informed, he clairns that ecent edvauces have skhow!n him little net advautage an liibooks. The reeson i. that everything- . . not just a few things . . . but everything a fermer must purehase, bas gone up lu price as rapidly or more rapidly than eny mise in farm comrnod- ity prices. In the firat apparent upswing lu prices, including bonuses, he odered a few nceded farm improvements and soon found that prices lied advanced toae point w'hich Ieft bim with a deficit -more pronou.nced then before. Quotations were given ta prove bis con- tention and the mot atonishing of the long list, were advances lu goods and services for eletrical installation, amountiug to $115.00 since juat before war broke out. Sa, having dctermined upon these improvements, lie .amid them througb and paid the bill. The capital outley was not 80 important. It was 'what Mr. King meaua, no doubt, la that we £4n, sai not have natio»iAl conscription wrbile he àlaet the bek. .

A safety bulletin, issued for distribu- tion in thousands of Ontario platt, points out that "Men are Vlueble-Accidents are Oýostly," and under a picture of Winston Ohurchiil quotes him as seying: "Let us ahl strive without failing in faith or duty." A coat of mare than Î838,000 wau report- ed for total awards of compeëiaation and medicel aid during the month of May. of everything . .. which few politicians have the courage ta say. Aceording ta what ap- pears in Hansard and according ta what me- leases are available, it ia perfectly clear that we are not nearly approxiniating the boast- cd "AIL Out War Effort" and "Equality of Sacrifice." "Ail in the Front Line" pif- fîle. Docs this government imagine they can maintain "unity" by getting out littie red eeriting dodgers that catch up one boy for death-at-the-front-service, and leaves the boy next door ta enjoy bis liberty and freedom ta do as lie pleases?1 Utter non- sense,! We hear from time ta tme, soute- thing about Queibec; that certain thine~ should not be said or even whispered or we imperil aur "national unity." Frankly, we do flot know what this isa ai about and we cannot understand why Mr. Raîston should be continuaily warning about it. Quebec knows and everyone knows that the people in tîhat province have far more intrinsical- ly ta loge than have most of the rest'of us, if Hitler wins, Sa what is it ail about? The Statesman endorses the series of esolutions passed by leading organizations during recent weeks right aeross Canada, that the time bas came for an "«ail out" effort. And that cen be attained oniy in the manner they indicate; by outriglit conscription. The mandate giv- en in Mamch 1940 is today as barren as the Treaty of Versailes. National Broadcasting It is probably truc when we say that the great majority of Canadians these days are too lazy or too indiffement ta take tixne off and learn about things which are with us and which intereat us each passing day. Editors are supposed ta keep up ta date on almost everything, but we canfess that we are ta be categorized with the majority. We thought we knew samethirig about radio and broadcasting, because we have been through the large national studios in Can- ada and the United States. But we learn- cd just how little is known generally about the preparation and extent of the service in Canada, when we heard Andy Clarke broadcaster of that hurnan interest Sunday rnorning popular feature " Neighboriy News, " speak at the Warden 's banquet Thursday evening at the Balmoral Hotel. You will find what he said in another col- umin.1 That brings us ta another thought. It is this; how many of us ealiy appreciate the disinterested service such men as Andy Clarke render in corning down among us, at a sacrifice of time and effort, ta, tell us these things we wish ta know but are too indifferent ta dig up? When you read bis speech, just pause long enough ta estirnate the amount of time required ta assemble ail the facts therein contained. Our guess is that it would take a few weeks; and then theme fis the labori- one typing; and after- that, rnaybeî, a tedi- ous banquet; then handshaking and con- v 'iviaiity with folk neyer ta be accu again ..and the wait up for bus or train. Thus do growu-ups get post-graduate courses from long-suffering experts who have been chosen because they are experts. .. Such as Andy Clarke. Until Yeu Have Earned It Liberty Magazine on June 21, carrnes two things that are deserving of special mention. First, is an editorial with the above title, by the publisher, Joseph Lister Rutledge. Second, is an article, "How Hard Are We Fighting?" by Grattan O 'Leary. Both writers are Canadians and are widely known in the realm of journalism and in their res- pective spheres in the above issue of Liber- ty they have set down words which will cause deep thought by ail who are fortun- ate enough ta read what la written.. There are writings that strike the respon- sive ehord, and when reading these con- tributions we acknowledged ta ourselves that they coincided with what we persanal- ly felt but had difficulty in fommulating in- ta, words. Listen ta Mr. Rutledge, "We have not hamdened ta this war. We have faced little. We have endured not at al- a few very minor privations, a little effort, a littie cost. That is the measure of aur sacrifice. Most of us are living more bounti- fully in these days than we did in the days before the war. We have not EARNIED the right ta expect a victory." In The Editor's Mail Dear George: The London Conference of the Unitedi Church which I attended at Windsor last week has been enlarged by the transfer of Ai- goma Presbytery from the Toron- ta Conference anid the new dele- gates from the north, twenty-one in number mncluding five wornen, were introduced ta 'the Confer- ence biy aur friend Rev.

It was a pleasure ta find Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Tadgham bath actively connected with the con- ference church. Rev., A. K. Ed- misan, M.A., of Listowel, former- ly af your conference, was billeted at the Todgham home, and as these «twa men had been fcllow students at Bowrnanville High School ini Principal- Gilfillan's time, I arn sure the two "aid. boys" had a delightful reminiscent visit together.

He la an hanar student, havig maintained an average of over 90 for his four years of study, one at Bowmanville High Schooi, and threc years down here. As he bas many friends in Bowmanville, I know he'd appreciate a littie para- graph in your paper telling of thc above. The oldest boy, Jack, graduated in 1939, and now ha. a goad pool- tion with The New York Ship- building Corporation. at Cam4în, N. J.

"The message of Moral Re- Armament ias smple, non-parti- san, undenominational, non-sec- tarian, and non-palitical," said Dr. Buchrnan. "It creates Uic quali- tics Uiat make demacracy func- tion.

It bigs ta Uic support of govemu- ment'Uic esponsible initiative of every citizen. "Moral Re-Armament aima ta evoke, encourage, and combine Uic moral and spiritual responsi- bility of individuels for their im- mediate sphere of action.
