THIMM UY2t, 93PG IETECAAINSAEMN BWAVLE NAI a 48 years of age; grad- uate of the University of Toronto; veteran of World War; farms 600 acres of land near Blackstock; knows the problems of the farmer; has an intimate knowledge of trade unions and their problems. WILFRID BOWLES guarantees, that if he is elected, the people of Durham will have a voice that will be HEARD in the House. Mr. Bowles is not a "yes" man, and will not represent the people of Durham [regardless of political af - filiations] with silence, but will on the other hand, on al occasions demand a hearing for the problems of the people whom he represents. Elect Bowles and be certain of better conditions and the best representation! Here Are The Things That YOUR C. C. F. Vote W L L Accomplish 1-Pass an effective trade union act that will protect labor's right te bargain collectiveiy for fair wages and working conditions. 2-Free the people from the power cf the monopelies now in control cf ail import- ant business and industry. 3-Bring these monopolies un- der social ownership with immense savings te farm- ers, workers and consum- VOTE ers. 4-Plan immediately for the em- ployment of ail after the war. 5--Organize for the full use of our natural resources and the development of new in- dustries the minute the war ends. 6-Revise the tax laws to re- move injustice and lighten the burden on farmers and WMr. home-owners. 7-Provide equal educationai opportunities for every child by means cf scholarships and grants-to municipalities.

C.C.P. p I'I Forward With The C.C.F. To The Electors of Durham County: I would like ta set befare the electors of Durham County the grounds on which I have consented ta off er myseif as C.C.F. candidate in the coming provincial election. I do so first as a protest against the absurd extremes of present politicai partisanship. The aid uine parties are so taken up witb figbting each other, the time hanaured battie of the mns and the outs, each s0 bent on criticizing and antaganizing the other, that neither seems wiiling ta consider issues of real importance. Pure shadaw boxing-for is there any real dif- ference between the two aid parties? Is it not obviaus that bath are afraid ta deal with the new and seriaus paliticai ques- tions which have came ta the front in recent years? Bath seek refuge in the aid notion that paiitics must keep its hands off industry-even industry grawn inta monpoy-but there is no besitatian in restricting the f armer. It is plain that the time has came for a change in this do-notbing paliticai piisopy-a pbiiosophy which piunged the world into the darkest depression it bas ever known. The labouring men tbrown out of work by the thousands know this. The farmer wba soid bis hogs at $3.50 knaws this. The new generatian of men and women wbo remember bow impossible it was ta find wark knaw it. The millions of people in the land wba had ta live on relief knaw it. And neither of aur aid politicai parties bas dane a thing ta guarantee or begin ta guarantee us against the return of just such conditions when this war is over. They are content ta in- dulge in a lot of politicai twaddle about the necessity of an election and about proxy ballots. As a former soidier I assure you the soidier isn't warrying sa much about bis ballot as the warid ta wbicb be wiii return. And this need of a new outiook bas been further brought home ta us by the way the war's financing has brought empiay- ment toalah and given pienty in the midst of scarcity-whereas the depressian saw us with buiging warehauses and averfuli granaries-afld millions an relief. If it is not politicai bickering which keeps these issues in the background then it must be you cannat put new wine in aid batties. Briefiy-and chiefy-that is why I am in the C.C.F. From the day of the founding of this movement-mnay it become a great party!-it bas not ceased ta advacate legisiatian of a kind hitherto forbidden. A new world must bave new measures of government. It must bave greater socializatian. The Hydro is a fine example of this socialization. Sa is the Toronto Street Raiiway. Sa is the T. & N.O. Railway. Sa for that matter is S the Post Office. Do you find fault with these? Indeed no. S What we iieed is mare of it. Why should haif a dozen miik wagons pas your door or half a dozen miik trucks go down your raad? Or haif a dozen bread wagons? Why shouidn't the same thing whicli has made a success of the Post Office be extended ta these necessities and into every field where one or two great and powerf ul campanies have virtuaiiy monopoiized business and done away with competitian? If theso things are sociaiism then I am content ta be caiied a socialist. I knaw I am in good company for isn't it exactly wt.at Ernest Bevin the great English labour leader stands for? Isn't it what bas been done in New Zeaiand where the farmer bas a better economnie standing than anywhere in the worid? For these are the shape of things ta came but whether or not the C.C.F. is ahead of its time I do not know. It is for you the voter ta decide. Vote-but before yau vote think carefuiiy, and remember that the government you now eleet will in al probability be the gavernment which wili have ta face the provincial problems of the post-war woril. W.. G. BOWLES What Others Say~ BUT CONDEMN THEMSE11VES (Porcupine Advance) At the present time some of the newer parties are indulging in wholesale condemnation of al palitical parties. By doing this they are themselves applying a test. They are endeavouring ta win by claiming that ail palitical parties are dishonest and untrust- worthy and unwarthy of cre- dence, forgetting that this is a straight condemnation of them- selves, as after ail they are simp- ly another political party them- selves, and if ail palitical parties are unworthy they brand them- selves along with the others. MR. ABERHART KEPT ON SAFE SIDE (The Financial Post) For a man who spent so much time cursing the banks and al their ways, the late Premier Aberhart of Alberta seems- ta have put a lot of trust in them after ail. R~eports of his estate show that he had $19,061 cash in accounts in Imperiai and Com- merce branches in Edmonton. He didn't seem ta think much of Ai- berta government bonds. 0f these he oniy heid twa $500's vaiued for prabate at $365 each. 0f Do- minion Government bonds and war savings certificates he held $3,500. Though he preached tear- ing up the whole financiai sys- tem, he held six insurance policies of a total value of $10,000. An- other $2,060 represented 20 shares of stock in Canadian Western Naturai Gas, Light, Heat and Power. Thus the late Premier had $25,- 351 plus $10,000 of insurance praviding for himseif and his de- pendents ail entrusted to the safe- keeping and the earning power of institutions which he constant- ly attacked and which, pubiicly at ieast, he mistrusted. Oniy $17,- 950 af the assets in his $41,000 estate did he entrust ta the safe- keeping af the affspring af his own financiai wîsdom, the Ed- montan branch of the Alberta treasury house. THE TWO OLD PARTIES (Pembroke Standard -Observer) Two palitical parties are abso- lutely necessary for good gavern- ment, the government party and the party in opposition. In Canada the Conservatives and Liberais have made Canada the nation that it is today, re- spected and honoured by our friends, and dreaded by Berlin, Rame and Tokyo. If there are inherent weak- nesses in these parties stick tu themn and take them aout. Don't be swayed by any cheap nonsense that the "aid parties" have had their day. Other parties, of mushromr grawth, appear and as quickly disappear, but these aid parties have functioned since 1867, and will function as the gavernment party, and the apposition long after any particular one, or al of the mushroam parties have passed away and are forgatten. Stick ta the aid parties, either one wiil take yau there, but you wili have a fiat tire if you risk yaur passage an another, and no- thing ta cheer about on the eve- ning of August 4. ACKNOWLEDGES CLOTHING SENT TO LIVERPOOL BY BOWMANVILLE PUPIILS The follawing letter framn the Rotary Club of Liverpool, Eng- land, ta Principal L. W. Dippeli af Bawmanvilie High Schaol is self explanatary. Raamn 575, Martins Bank Building, Water Street, Liverpool, 2. 3rd June, 1943. Mr. L. W. Dippell, Principal, Bowmanviiie High Schoal, Bowmanville, Ont. Dear Mr. Dippeli: A few days ago we received another valuabie shipment of re- lief supplies framn the Rotary Club of Toronto, and I understood from Mr. Blackhali, Chairman of the British Clothing Committee of the Toronto Rotary Club, that the Bowmanville High Schoai sup- plied some of the clothing, etc., that has just came ta hand. It is very difficoît ta express adequateiy in words how grateful we all feel ta you and ather gen- erous people in Canada for what you have dane and are doing ta assist us in supplying the require- ments of thase families that are stili in need as a resuit of the air-raids experienced same time aga. Fartunately we have net had any seriaus raids here lately, but there are many people who xvere injured in previaus raids who are stili in haspital, and, of course, a large number of children who have last ane ar bath their par- ents, ahl of whom must be pro- vided far, wi4h the resuit that we are stili receiving a considerable cali for ciothing of ail kinds, particularly for chiidren. Will you please convey to al those members of the Bowman- ville High Schoal wha 50 kindly contributed ta this shipment how thankful we are for all that they are doing ta help us administer ta the more urgent needs of the bombed-out victims h e r e in Merseyside. Yours sincerely. A. E. BRYAN, Chairman, International Service Committee, Rotary Club of Liverpool. Every failure teaches a man samething if he wiii leamn. WALLACE MARLOW ELECTED HEAD 0F LIVESTOCK GROUF "In 1929, of ail the iivestack received at the Union Stock Yards, Toronta, 40 per cent ar- rived by truck, while in 1942, the percentage had risen ta 62."

It has eiiminated price cutting, and some other disagree- able features that once existed in our business, and has given us a better standing with the public.' County assaciations are now be- ing organized in every county ta look after purely local matters, and ta co-operate with the pra- vincial body, Mr. Scatt said.

NO FOOD SHORTAGE LIKELY IN CANADA No reai domestic shartage of food in Canada seems imminent, states the Current Review of Ag- ricuiturai Conditions in Canada. Fram the standpoint of minimum nutritional requirements at ieast, the position is comparativeiy se- cure. In late May, meat joined butter in the ranks of rationed foods, iargeiy because of contri- butions being made ta the larder of the United Nations in the farm of park contracts. Consideratian is aiready being given ta the prob- able extent of past-war food re- quirements, and from this aspect ail that can be praduced wili un- doubtediy be needed. SUBSIDY FOR FARMERS WHO BUY GRAIN NOW As an incentive ta farmers in Eastern Canada ta boy Western feed grains soon as possible and store them on their own farms so that next winter's livestock feed- ing requirements will be met, the Dominion Government will pay a sliding scale. Farmers in the Eastern pro- vinces who buy Western feed grains under this plan, ta be known as Plan B, will receive a 3 cent per bushel subsidy for grain bought in Juiy; 2 1-2 cents per bushel for August; 2 cents for September; i 1-2 cents for Octo- ber; i cent for November and 1-2 cent for December. Orders placed since July 1, 1943, will be eligibie for the sub- sidy. F. W. Presant, Feeds Adminis- trator, under wham the plan is being administered, stated that it is anticipated it wiii increase the immediate demand for Western feed grains at a time when trans- portation facilities are mare fav- aurabie than during the winter manths. A smail grain crop is in pros- pect in Eastern Canada, and with thé substantial increase in live- stock anîd pouitry on Eastern Cap- adian farms, which are being raised so as ta meet the abnor- mai food demands from every direction, it is necessary that steps be taken at once ta assure that sufficient feed be availabie for next winter. Farmers who boy Western grain under Plan B wiii receive the subsidy in the same way as under the Freight Assistance Policy in connectian with Western feed grains.
