This is a decliner of $140.7 million or 7.7 per cent. Income fer 1945 was $276.2 mil- lion highen than for 1943, andt $963.5 million higher than 1939. When supplementany payments ane included, inceme in 1945 te- talled $1,692.3 million as cempan- ed with $1,844.2 million in 1944. Much smallen marketings of wheat, banhey, and hegs in the Prairie Provinces greathy neduc- ed the income of these provinces and account for rnost of the de- crease in the total fanm inceme for Canada. Increases were ne- conded in the incerne fnom eggs, poultry, me;ýt, oats, tobacco, and cattie and calves with the nesuht that the provinces, with the ex- ception of the Praire Provinces and Nova Scotia, received highen farrn incomes than in 1944. With average cnops, it is anticipated that farm income for 1946 wihh be maintained at about the same le- vel as 1945. These estimates are based on re- ports of marketings and prices received by farmers for the prin-1 cipal farm pnoducts and are sub- ject to revisien as more complete figures become avaihable. The estirnates include the amount paid on account of wheat participation certificates, the oats and barhey equahizatien payments, and those Dominion and Provincial Govern- ment payments which farmers receive as subsidies te pnices. Payments made under The Wheat Acreage Reduction Act, the Prairie Farm Assistance Act, and the Prairie Farm Income Act are net included with cash income from the sale of farmn products but are inchuded with the total farm cash incarne in the year in which payment is made under the heading o! suppiementary pay- inents.

The main advantage of the new Bihl wihh be te end the disgnacefuh, nidiculous, and untrue practice of compehhing native-born Canadians te descnibe themselves as "English, Scotch, French, German" or something ehse equahly false when filling out officiai papers. One reason why Parliarnent bas feht cempelled to pass this Bill was because at the tirne of the Na- tional Registration the reai Can- adians simphy rebelled-simply refused te tell the lie which offi- cialdom asked thern te tell. The men and women who were doing the registering simply ignoned the officiai instructions about tracing ancestny. They wrote down "Canadian." I had staged my own rebellion long before. My fatli.r's fanmily had been original settiers in the Talbot settiement af Western On- other names on the humble fam- ly tree wvere MacCallum, McIn- tyre, MacGregor and on my mo- ther's side, Menzies and McGov- ern. -My wife's folks were cf Penn- sylvania Dutch descent-among those who came in the Conestoga wagons to live unden the British flag-rather than stay with the revolting colonies after 1776. Hence it burned us up when the time came to negister the births of our children. We did not know till then that the fool laws of Can- ada would not permit the regis- tration of Canadians as Canadians. Our first was a girl. We wene too much taken by surprise to think up any good answers. But by the tîme our second daughter arrived we were firmn in our de- termination not to compound a falsehood. I refused to sign "En- glish" as the clenk in Toronto said I must. I wrote: "if you want to lie, do it yourself. Our child is Canadian." However, I weakened on that one when they showed me that the letten of the fool law was the other way. But by 1933, when our boy came along, we had figured out a plan of campaign. When the paper came again I wrote: "Canadian" where it said, in small letters tc put English, Scotch, Welsh or jusi about anything else under thE sun, except Canadian, which waE the tnuth. Again the paper came back. That time I was mad at official- dom because they had given ui an oventime parking ticket foi leaving our car outside the hos- pital all night when the baby wasý born. Anyway we had the answers al. figured out. I wrote: "If we mus, namne the earliest known grand. parent's nationality do we tak( the male or female?" They wrote back, "maie, o: course." We answered, "it is commonl3 supposed nowadays that the mo thers have as much to do with th( production of the offspring as d( the fathers." They refused to argue thi point, and said, "you must pu down as the child's nationality the nationality of the male grand parent." That was exact]y what we weri waiting for. I wrote back: "According to your absurd rul, our beloved King George V woulh have to put himself down as; a Gierman. Il you tell me our King is a German I will enter my, son as English. Otherwise he is Canadian." They neyer answered. The fire in men's hearts needs to be a fire that both warmis and iburns. 1 - - - - 1 - . . - --. hr1 nghlen who pusAC hhemslves forward, but through those who pour themnselves out.
