J. G. Gar- diner, Minister of Agriculture. Bracken has insisted upon revis- ed f arm policies designed to in- crease production while Mr. Gar- diner has been content to defend his course by quoting figures ten- ding to show that his advice re- sulted in greatly increased pro- duction during the course of the war. It has been a lengthy de- bate but Bracken has held to his central theme that there must be increased acreage of wheat to OSHAWA Free Parking Phone 1011 FRI. - SAT.- MON.- TUES.

Latest moves by the govern- ment show that they are begin- ning to accept and in some par- ticulars to act upon the advice of Mr. Bracken. In so far as this occurs it simply means that the opposition is in fact an active par- ticipant in the governing of this country. Mr. Gardiner chose to go back 30 years and quote Brack- en as an agricultural authority on farming methods at that time. He was in entire agreement with him then but hie sought to show that "since becoming a politician" Mr. Bracken's views have chang- ed and he quoted figures to back his arguments. Gardiner -Dodges But in his reply, Mr. Bracken exposed the hypocritical tenden- cies of the little MIinister who quoted only parts of Bracken's ad- vice at that time. Revealing the complete story, Hansard, March 26, Bracken proved clearly that his views of 30 years ago were precisely those he advocated to- day. He laid down his 30-point charter for agriculture demand- ing "equality for farmers" when he assumed his present position in 1943. Since then these have been pressed by the Canadian Federation of Agriculture and it has enlarged upon them in its most recent representations to the government only last week. In h*is most recent address, Mr. BrackÏn showed how the govern- ment fell into line. First came the agricultural conference of December charting 1946 produc-' tion. Then the Minister went tc Europe on a study mission but made no changes in policy. Brack- en poînted out that he waited for the government to announce a more realistic plan but none came. He then, March 8, challenged the government to get busy and in- crease farm prices, particularly on Wheat and butter to get in- creased production for worlc needs. Government Moves Six days after his statement came the speech from the throne indicating a change of heart and eight days after Bracken's criti- cism, Sunday, March 17, and only one day before debate started in the House, the Prime Minister issued a hurried statement to MI RtOYAL THEARE Bowmanville - Phone 589 A Special Double Bill for Trhursdlay - Friday APRIL 4 -5 "Earl Carrol Vanities" Most Glamorous Show on The Sereen! - And. - -"Gentie Ainnie" Rough Ridlng ...

Mr. Bracken paused to ob- serve that the Prime Minister was smiling as this sequence of events was recapitulated. It was tanta- mount to admission that these criticisms were taking effect and that, belatedly, the administra- tion would be forced to bow to the increasing demand for a pol- icy of production based upon equality for agriculture." Mr. Gardiner'admitted that Mr. Bracken was one of Canada's greatest agricultural authorities. In the debate, Mr. Bracken quot- ed from The Winnipeg Free Press, a Liberal journal and the staunchest supporter of Prime Minister King. It held that Gard- iner's attack on Bracken was most unf air, and asked what sort of game Mr. Gardiner was playing. It asked, how can we justify our present course to ourselves or mankind? We luxuriate in food and squander it lavishly. We ought to be ashamed, said this great Liberal paper. In other words it held Bracken to be right and the government to be lax and evasive. Party Lineup In conclusion Mr. Bracken called for support of his amend- ment to the throne speech. He said, "I would change the stupid policy that keeps the price of our export wheat 40 or 50 cents be- low the world price and I would increase at once at least one ?[airy product, namely butter." He in- sisted that besides food saving we must have and can have in- creased production, but only by giving farmers better prices 3across the board and eventual equality in sharing the national income. His amendment was de- feated by the Liberals sitting sol- idly back of Mr. King. But there will be a change in policy along the Bracken lines. Farmers will fsee it develop. They should re- member who has pressed it con- sistently for more than 30 years, tfarmer John Bracken. Orono News Mr. and Mrs. Mult Tamblyn have returned from attending a Holstein sale in Wisconsin.

RSRCTION PROGRAM FOR LIVETOCKFEEDS Livestock will share in Canada's food restriction program as the result of a Feed Administrator's order restricting the protein con- tent and quantity of brands of Commercial mixed feeds. The or- der, effective since March 15th, distributes as broadly and equit- ably as possible available pro- tein supplies to the kinds of live- stock most in need of them. The Agricultural Supplies Board recommends that manufacturers of commercial mixed feeds give preferential treatment to the rnother-and-child group of live- stock. To cows in caîf, pregnant sows, and hens laying hatchîng eggs, and to young calves, chicks, suckling and weanling pigs should go the principal share of the protein supply which is now in- sufficient to meet the demand of livestock producers. Instituted by the Prices Board March 31, 1943, and revised June 19, 1944, controls limiting the quantity of brands and both the maximum and minimum protein content of commercial mixed feeds were repealed 16 months ago. Within a few months fol- lowing repeal, feed manufactur- ers again became unable to ob- tain sufficient proteins to enrich their products and some volun- tarily continued to hold protein content at formerly controlled levels. Recently, the National Council of the Canadian Feed Manuf acturers Association re- quested the resumption of con- trols now provided by the Agri- cultural Supplies Board. The renewed controls are iden- tical with those in eff ect until November 24, 1944, with the fol- lowing changes: Chicken feed sup- plements now have a maximum PART PRSID~iTBurketon S Sympathy is extended to the family of the late Henry Avery who died at his home in Wood- stock; also to Mr. and Mrs. Herb Hooey in the death of her moth- ............er, Mrs. Elizabeth Sanderson.

SERVANTS GALORE...e BY WIRE *e The time ta solve the servant problemn once and for ail is when you are building or "modernizing" your home. The greatest modern domestic servant is electricity. How weIl and f0 what extent electricity con serve you, now und in the future, depends on how well your "servant's entrance" is designed . .. how wisely your home is wired. Inadequate wiring limits the use of electricity. It Ieads only f0 ineff icient opera- tion of Iights and appliances. But adequate wiring ... three wire service f0 the house, with proper sixe circuits in the home and plenty of ouflets in every room.. overcomes these difficulties, and gives you full use of these modern servants. Electrical home appliances increased rapidly in number and variety before the war. They are now reaippearing and wiIi continue f0 multiply. Homes that were wired only f or the needs of 20 years aigo should now be rewired ta suit the wonder- fui new "electrical servants" f0 come. Hydro's low-cost dependable service enables you f0 use these modern servants f0 the f uli if you have provided for them. In planning your new home, put adequato wiring at the top of your list. If you are improving or bulidig a home, ask your Hydro for the book- let "Adequate Wiring for the Postwar EIectric Homes of Canada." *b Cancer is exceeded only by heart disease as a cause of death. Because it frequently means long and truel suffering, and is the disease we dread most, it most decidedly ranks as Public Enemy No. 1. Yet cancer in its early stages usually causes no pain. That is.why relatively few cancers get any treatment in their early stages when most of them can be cured by radium, x-ray or surgery. Cancer of the lip may be mistaken for a cold sore that does flot heal. The flrst sign of cancer of the throat may be hoarseness. Cancer of the stomach, in its early stages may be mistaken for indigestion. To cut down the death rate from cancer in Ontario (5193 Ontario people died from this diseuse in 1943) funds are now being rai5ed and a drive is being organized in th is province to conquer cancer. Here are the objectives of this campaign: i -To organiiy and oprato ftl equipped cancer clinici at .çitabIé centres uhere people nîay bd #xamined, and, if nocessary, treated accordsn~g to the newest scientific méthods. 2-To Pay a portion of thé coit of treatmnt of cancer for those neéding financial holp. 3-To pay travellin~g xpenses to and from clinics if needed. 4-To' conduct an onrgtic program of cancer resoarch ini Ontario. As a citizen of Ontario you are asked to con- tribute to this very worthy Gause. Your donation xnay help put such ineasures into effect as will save the lives of some of your loved ones-even your own life. It may help to free the world forever fromf the dread scourge of cancer. This appeal is for n objective of $2,000,000 to provide for a three-yer program of cancer research, treatment and province-wide service. -x GIVE TO CONQUER CANCER ONTARIO CANCER FOUNDATION This organlzed drive agelnst cancer ls a loint effort of The Ontario Cancer Treatmeni and Research Foundatien and Thý Canadian Cancer Society.
