Ottawa. Bowmanvil., ontaia GEO. W. MAMES, LaiTole TtJESDAY NEXT A GREAT DAY FOR DURHAM WOMEN'S INSTITUTES Next Tuesday, May 27th, is a -big day in the minds of many women in this distrièt. For il is what is called "The District Annual of West Durham Women's Institutes" when the ten branches in West Durham wili hold their annual convention in Tyrone. The branches of the Women's Insti- tutes are contribuîing much la the better- ment of Canadian life. Undoubtedly they contribule much in a social way by bring- ing neighbors together. They contribule' even more by their readiness and willing- ness ta help - by playing a constructive part in educating membership on more than the pureiy parochial in Canadian affairs. That the variaus branches which this part of the world is fortunate in p'oss- essing serve Iheir communities well goes without saying. But bhey are serving a whole Dominion too by their breadth cf vision. One only needs ta read the reports of Iheir monthly meetings which appear in The Statesman la realize the practical activities these busy women carry out in their own community. "The whole equais the sum of the parts," said Euclid of aid. And the sum of the parts which the Women's Institutes are contribuîing ail across Canada is going a long way in making a "whole" of this, country - "Whole" of unity and progres- siveness and goodwiil and human kindli- ness which will stand ampng the nations of the world. Il would be invidiaus ta make com-. panisons - ta suggesî that one branch is belter and more progressive than another. Each in ils awn lime and place is endeavor- ing ta do ils best. - And that best iasamething which again earns a "thank you" from those who appreciate the work which the local Womnen's Institutes are doing - together with a fervent "Well done, ladies." Your motta: "For Home and Country" is brief, but full of meaning and inspiration in which aIl the Durhami County branches are doing an excellent job. REVOLUTION - COUNTRY STYLE Over the past 50 years fanm opera- lions in Canada have progressed f rom hand and horse labor ta an occupation that is highly mechanized and scienlific. The fanmer hiniself has changed from a hewer of wood leading an isoiaîed life ta a citizen cf the world - a logical developmenî of producing food for export. This great revolution on the fanm, writes Dr. G. E. Reaman, head of the Dept. of English, O.A.C., Guelph, and formerly Supt. of Ontario Training Schooi for Boys, Bowmanville, in the current issue cf C-I-L Oval, actua]ly began when bhe mech- anicai reaper displaced the sickle and scythe more than 100 years aga. But it wasn't until 1900 Ihat reai pragress wvas mnade in mechanization of farm practices with the introduction cf the gasoline exngine. By Ihis means the farmer achieved power in a controlled quantity thal en- abled hini la free hiniself from horse- produced power.1 Dr. Rearnan reviewed the scienîific developments in the lasI 50 years. When the laws cf geneties came ta be under- stood, it was possible ta breed dairy cows which gave more milk. Much expeni- menlation has taken place in bath breed- ing and feeding poultry s0 Ihat today any fowl which does flot produce satisfactorily is elirninated froni the flock. The dis- covery of antibioîics has meant a great deal in fighting and overcoming diseases in animals as 'veli as humans. lIn the field of pesticides, DDT was probably the first wander-working insec- ticide. Many others followed soan after. New fungicides, rodenlicides and weed- killers have been developed. Other new chemicals éause the leaves ta fali off rip- ened crops ta facilibate hand and machine m M CDC CAN NOW DROP ADVERTISING Parliamentary estiniates presented ta Parliament show government expenditures on the CBC up by $4,750,000. This con- stitutes the balance of the first of a series of annual grants in the amount of $6,250,- 000 which CBC is to have for the next five years - and probably thereafter. An interim grant of $1,500,000 was paid over last June., Add ta this the $5,500,000 extracted from the owners of radio sets - or rather from the two-thirds of them reached by the archaic collection system - and the total publie contribution ta the CBC reaches $11,250,000. Surely, with that kind cf money, Can- ada could have a system whereby govern- ment radio would cease peddling soap, patent medicines, and other products. No less an authority* than S. M. Finlayson, president of Canadian Marconi Company, has advocated something similar to the Australian system, where commercial radio is frankly commercial and govern- ment radio is frankly cultural. Then, at least, the public would know what it is paying for. Many Canadiang are a littie sick of subsidizing Messrs Procter and Gamble and "B.O." scented soap. There have been well-founded rumors that the greater percentage of the subsidy will be devoted to capital expansion - new stations, a second French network, and the like. Putting the money ta this use would be a violation of the purpose of the subsidy as it was presented to Par- liament. It was flot a capital grant, but a supplement ta operating revenue so that needed improvements in programming could be made. The f irst of these is for CBC to get out of the soap and tooth- paste business. IS THIS AN "OUT 0F HAND" DEMAND? A few weeks ago in announcing a decrease in the cast of living, Hon. C. D. Howe expressed the opinion that inflation would reniain under contrai in Canada unless demands for increases of industrial wages gat out of hand. It was a timely warning, for recent weeks have brought new contract negatiatians for several of our largest graups of industrial workers. One wage dispute that has reached dead- lock and gone on ta conciliation concerns Ontario's 12,000 pulp and paper miii work- ers. Naturally newspaper publishers and their subscriber4 and advertisers are vit- ally interested in'the dispute. Weekly pay in this industry is the i highest in Ontario, about $71 a week at the time of the most recent federal gov- ernment survey, December, 1951. Average hourly earnings were $1.51 at that time. à In the negotiations up ta conciliation, the union asked for a 20 per cent raise across the board. Since pulp mili workers already have i the highest weekly earnings in the pro- vince, this might be what Mr. Howe would c caîl an "out of hand" demand.

When I met hin he had settled down for a few quiet years in Western Canada. He liked Alberta, so did 1. Naturally I was interested in his trip across Russia. 1 wanted ta know about the trains, the timne it took and aIl the other de- tails.

"0f course", said rny friend, "the Americans and Canadians are unusual, they inherit the mind of the pianeers.

They believe that when something goes wrong they can f ix it-and thèyl can." Momentarily I was shocked. He had left out the Scots, shouldn't they have been includ- ed in the list. His answer was that in Glasgow they built the best ships in the world. If they _______ -weren't born on a ship's deck they had taken to it early and what these boys didn't know about ships wasn't worth finding out. Go back ta the brip again.
