ARE CITY WORKERS AGAIVST FARMEReSN Oshawa and District Labor Council Replies te Federation et Agricultire We, the Durham County Federation of Agriculture, stronigly disapprove of the atti- tude taken by organlzed labor durlng recent strikes whlch Indicates decided Indifference to the growers of féodstuffs ...I -Frorn Canadian Statesman.. Farmers and workers are natural allies. They belong to the saie army in over- ails that makes this country go 'round. Despite this fact, the above quoted item shows many farmiers do not see the work er's side. There is friction between these two great groups of Canadians. Some of it is due to the iack of knowledge about what the other feilow does ý,aid how he makes a liv- ing, the rest is due to propaganda fostered over the years by interests hostile both to labor and the farmers. These men and women, and their familles, forai most of the public. These are the people who make up the bulk of the cons uming class. The dollars they earn and spend mnake Canada's- economic machine tick. Now that the war is over, men in overalîs have a fight on their hands to make Canada a full production country in peace as well as in war. Men in overalîs like to produce. They have a sound instinct that big production is the way to prosper- ity. Not ail Canadians agree. The time is here when the issue must be settled. Wage earners are first to join the issue, for unemployment is growing. They have no choice. It's a struggle for life, for the right to work, for, the right to raise a family by decent living standards. And unless these men in overalîs win the battie for full production, full employment and f ull wages now, it wQç't be long before the farmers in overalis will be engaged in a life and death struggle for good markets and parity prices.. FARMERS AND WORKRS ARE IN SAM B OAT For ail men in overalîs are in the saine boat. They ride the waves of prosperit' together, they sink to depression together. If wage earners are making money, se are farmers. The country is prosperous. If men walk the streets looking for work, men on farins burn wheat, dump milk. That's depression. Men in overails hava not always und erstood each other. Farmers have been led to believe that city wages are too high; that the wage earner has an easy turne; that the high prices farmers pay for goode is due to labor uniins and that strikes are neyer justified. They proba7bly don't know that 63 per cent. of Canadian wage earners receive leui than $949 per year and only 7% earn more than $ 1,950; that a worker's wage is only a fraction of the total price charg ed to fariners for manufactured goods; that most of the cost is charged to materials, manufacturers' profit and the retaîl- ers' margin. Most wage earners, on the other hand, can't understand why some fariners taik so mean about them, for wage earners think highly of the fariner. They think he's a man who deserves the "breaks". A good share of wage earners aren't more than a generation removed from the farin. They tend to be sentimental about the fariner and country life. It is their general impression that most farmers have a high degree of security on the land, although the average farm income in Ontario in a recent year was $1,344 per year; that the farm. is a healthy place to raise a family; and that most farmers are now making good money. 0f course, some uninformed workers, pointing to the more than 60 per cent. increase In wholesale prices of farin products between 1939 and 1944 regard the. fariner as rolling in wealth. The views of both need adjusting. WIY AND FAIM MEN MUST CET TOCETHE Viewed through different giasses, the city wage earner is neither saint nor devil. He joins unions (724,188 workers in 1944 were menibers of unions) te un. prove his economic conditions. Not to be outdone, the fariner has hua co-operat- ives (585,826 farmers were members of co-operatives in 1943) to market liii pro- ducts. They have their Canadian Federa tion of Agriculture to promote their par- ticular interests. Down at the grass roots and city street level, men in overalis have littie dU.- ficulty understanding each other-when they get the chance. Hundreds of farmers, members of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, have attended union meetings, and union members, farin meetings. Un important differences disappear when mxen get acquainted. But clear vision is necessary to show that city wage earner and fariner have the saine basic interests, the samne stake in Canada, the same friends, the saine enemies. The attempt to drive an unnatural wedge between farinera and wage earners must be seen as a danger signal. -Oshawn and District Lahor Council AFFILIATE CANADIAN CONGRESS 0F LABOR LADIES' BOWLING NEWS In league competition the Lan- casters are stili out in front with each of the three leading teams adding a few points.

In Northumberland The enterprising founders and organizers of the Northumberland Forest Ski Club have been active in the last few days completing ithe details of organization and preparing the program before the sturdy young club opens. The most striking feature of the club's arrangements is the blanket election of ahl the Public, High and Separate School pupîls of the two counties of Northumberland and Durham to membership. These hundreds of fortunate young people will receive the club privileges and ail skiing facilities other than ski tow, wîthout the payment of a cent. Arising ouf of this provision is the possibility of ski clubs spring- ing up ahl over the counfryside, with the holding of periodical comeetitions and tournaments on the beaufiful Forest Reserve hilis as dates may be arranged with the Forest Ski Club which also will provide teaching facîlifies and pafrol attention on the slides and trails. The execufive committee also, has given its attention to the set- ting of membership classifications and fees, wif h the following re- suits: Life Members (limifed to 100) each $100.00. Charter Members (limited f0, 500), each $10.00. Skiîng Members, single per sea- son, $3.00; married couples, per season $5.00. The only members accorded voting rights in the club are Char- ter members. Fees also have been set for some of the facilities offered, in- ciuding guest visits, as follows: Ski tow, hall day 75c; full day $1; weekend $1.25. Visiting fee, adulf skiier 75c; child skiier 50c. Hotel men serving on the ac- commodations commitfee estimafe that the combined rooms-to-rent capacify of Port Hope and Co- bourg is af,leasf 2,500. They are opfimistic enough f0 believe that in the full-fiedged skiing season, wif h the Forest Reserve siopes well covered wifh crisp, sparkling snow, the fwo towns will be the resort of hundreds of out-of-town guests, wifh ski-bearing motor cars a frequent spectacle in the main streets. They also contend that no town in the fwo counfies is f00 far from the Ski Club to, be advantageously affecfed by its expecfed popularity. The Northumberland Forest Ski Club, announced lasf week, has 25-year rights on 3,000 acres of the big and beaufiful Forest Reserve and expeets to, be func- fioning actively this coming win- fer. A femporqry chalet to, oper- ate as rest and refreshments head- quarters is now under construc- tion close to the Provincial High- way No. 45, ten miles northeasf of Cobourg, on the Ski Club's property.

Rodney Votes Dry By Big Majority Rodney, Nov. 14-Third attempt to repeal the local option vote since this Southwestern Ontario village "went dry" resulted in the "wets" flot only being de- feated but also losing ground in a vote held here today. Villagers voted on the by-law: "Are you in favor of the sale of beer and wine under the Liquor Control Act of Ontario?" Resuit of the vote was: For, 170; against, 262. The last vote in 1939 was 275 in favor of the sale of beer and wine and 213 against, in which the "ýwets" were only 19 votes short of changing the local option sta- tus. An earlier vote in 1936 showed a return almost the same as this evenîng's count. The vote created littie flurry in the village with the clergy show- ing the rnost activity in their op,, position to beer sale. Out of a possible 576 voters, 432 persons cast their ballots.

Open House Proves Popular School Event For the third year in succession the very popular idea of holding "Open House" at Bowmanville Public Schools was carried out Thursday afternoon. Parents, many with pre-school children, have corne to regard this event as helpful in many respects for it not only lends encouragement to their children in the classes but gives young hopefuls of pre-school age a view of what is ahead of thcmn and diminishes their diffi- dence when the time comes to enter school. The guests of the afternoon, numbering more than 100, were welcomed by Principal A. M. Thompson who direct them t0 vis- it all classes or any particular classes desired and to observe how instruction was imparted and ask questions of the various teachers. Thcy were welcomed in turn by each teacher and also by the Pub- lic Health Nurse who was in at- tendance for the afternoon. Classes went forward as in normal every day practice from primary to grade 8, including art, manual training and singing. There was no embarrassment on the part of either teachers or pu- plis and the latter vied ini answer- ing oral questions and taking part in blackboard work, quite evi- dently pleascd to take part in the occasion.
