BROWN President F. 1. SPKY Manager R.G. MOFFATT Secretary ing cansidered by aur Provî-. cial and Federal governments we are likely te get coverage to a degree for ail. We agreed that we could not expect treatment free for every pain or ache of humanity and some personai expenses should be allowed. However, it'a the big medical bis and operation that crip- pie a bread-winner, flot the normal littie juls of life. If the big ones were taken care of we wouid be falrly weli satisfied. Opinions were varied as to the per family cost of such a plan, but majority thought about $75 should cover it and be within reach of everyone. Next meeting wîll be at Rev. Hutton's. Richard Van Camp, chair- mnan, and Mr. and Mrs. Merril Van Camp staged two contests and the hostess served a loveiy lunch. The secretary asked how many members were in car accidents during Safety Week but none were reported1. The Travelling Library has been very interesting to the readers. S.S. 4, DARLINGTON S.S.

Disadvantage: The premium would be too high on a policy to previde full coverage. Compulsory Plan. Disadvantage: It would tend to fill the hospital with some who may not be really sick. Advantage: It should be cheaper and provide a com- piete coverage. It should raise the standard of health. Reasonable annual payment for: (a) hospitalization - $25.00 (b) surgical - $30.00 (c) medicai, $20.00 (d) compiete coverage, - including dental services $100-00 The hostess served a lovely lunch. Next meeting wiil be held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Brooks Pearce. PROVIDENCE Providence Forum met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Neil Mutton with 10 members pres- ent. The medicai co-operatives are the only group plans pro- vldlng hospitalization and sur- gical benefits for rural people. Dent ai care is not provided as in other plans, therefore the rates are much lower. The Swift Current plan has the ad- vantage cof including everyone young and old. This Forum thought a rea- sonabie annual payment for hospitalization and surgical wouid be $30 each and for com- plete coverage including den- tal services an annual rate of $100 was reasonable. The next meeting will be at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Clar- ence Turner. SOLINA National Film Board pictures will be shown in Solina school on Tuesday evening, March 6,' at 8:15 o'ciock.

"Farmers play a most in- portant role in any commun- ity," he said; "they are both producers and consumers. Your Farmers' Union is a family or- ganization, for the farmer, Ils wife and his children-that is, if the children cen be induced ta stey on the ferm. "There have been many farm organizations throughout the yeers, but they have lack- ed interested leaders. It is up to each- one in his own com- munity to strengthen the tics o! bis awn local. The Onta.io Farmers' Union is now orgeniz- ed in 23 counties and the nu.n- ber o! locals were dbubled lest yeer. Farm Income Shrinking "Alone among all the major sectors o! our national income, agriculturai net income is shrinking in comparison," the speaker tôld the meeting, add- ing "If farm income sterts tu drap, other important parts o! cour economy soon go down with it. Our share in naturel national income lest year wes down to 6.8 per cent. Farm income has dropped 23 per cent since 1951 and farm costs have risen at an alarming rate. There is starva- tien in the midst o! plenty, Mr. Cormack declared. "'The situation o!fermers now with- eut cash is almost comparable to 'The Hungry Thirties'. "Western farmers have diffi- culty in buying the bare neces- sities o! life", he said. "Cen- ada's grain markets are ser-, iously threatened and there is good reason to believe that the threat wili continue. This coun- try should be doing everything mn its power to see that it will be in the best possible position te meet whatever situation may arise. There alweys have be-m laws to protect the manufac- turer, the trader and the indus- triel worker; se why is it wrong te giv e the farmers a little support? Without support there will be ne money and na work for anyone either rural or urban. In a time when labor was progressing, the farm costs o! operetien were said to be ehl eut o! line with income. It taok two wars to bring farmers eut o! depression, the speaker submitted, adding: "To win a war, we were told te produce and produce. The fermer an- swered the cali of a needy ne- tien and stepped into high gear te do a job that was necessar.. We bought expensive machin- ery te do the job faster." "Professer Campbell of the Ontario Agricultural Coilege et Guelph recently meade a statement thet 'low income fermers should get off the ferm". Taking exception te the remark, Mr. Cormack cleimed thet e series of price draps over which the fermer hed ne con- trai seriously affected his busi- ness and the whole economnic situation. "Sixty-five per cent of ahi money in rural towns comes from the farm, unless you have some large industry", he said. "It is e sad stete o! e!. fairs when the fermer hes te leave the farm and work in a factory te augment his living. The ' lw prices received for his products are responsible for this." Need Parlty Prices "'The Packlng Plants are marching on, while the ferm- er tekes the loss", Mr. Cormack submitted. "We need more free enterprise-we should be able te selI aur milk products, hegs and cattle anywhere without taking whatever the packing plants feel like offering. if ferm produce cennot be reised, then prices o! other things should be brought down te a perity with agriculture" he ste- ted.

Weston Bannister, Margaret Aiken, Mrs. Elizabeth Craig, Stuart Dorreli and Jack Green. pie of one farmer's experience that in 1952 the price of one steer paid his taxes, but now it takes the equivalent of one and one-half steers. "Our expenses for education, good roads, building programs, etc., remain fixed, but the farmer's income gets away out of line at the whim of Govern- ment controls, which hide un- der an umbrella of tari2fs and duties", Mr. Cormack stated. "Until we change the thinkih.g of farmers we will remain in a rut, sinking a littie deeper in the mud. We are not in a posi- tion to compete with industry for hired help," he said. "The important thing is to exercise a voice in the nationi's affairs and to secure for agri- culture its fair share of tht na- tional income," Mr. Cormack concluded, congratulating the Cavan local on its stron., or- ganization.

Introduced by Mrs. Evelyn Prosser, Mr. Schuiz steted that ail farmers must organize te keep our country out of a de- pression. This can be done, he, said, through parity prices wt other commodities. He n,,amedl other countries that have parityl prices on leading commoditiesi and stated we must have them1 here if we are te avoid another depression. He believed that communism is just weiting untili we get into the depths of a de- pression to send their agents to capitalize on il among the unemployed. We must have the full support of all farmers to impress the government with the need of improving farm prices te return prosperittv to those who need our purchasing power. Mr. Schulz told o! the various briefs that the Farmers' Union had presened, and will present, to the Government at Ottawa, esking for equalization of prices. Blame Other Organization We have not got them yet chie! ly because another farm orgenization came elong behind the Farm Union and offeredj to take 65% to 85% of parity, he said.1 The farmers are trying to selli their grain, pork and cheese te Britein whiie we buy our impie. ments from U.S.A. We cannot expect te do this the speaker said. They must seli us equal to wvhat they buy. We can neyer get aheed as long as this poiicy continues. We must keep out of politics, we need not sup- port any one party, but we should have farmer members in parliament. In the past two years manufactured goods have declined 15% while farm pro- ducts have slipped 68 points. a' big loss in purchesing power which will bring ail Canada inta a depression. The farmers are te blame, as they have not got behind the Farmers' Union in Ontario, to demand equalization of prices. The Fermers' Union should he a united voice from coast te coast, the speaker éleclared, and if we have this w.* cen get our prices on a perity with other commodities and avoid any further downward slipping of our prices. Mr. Schulz wves thanked for his informative eddress hyV Douglas Barton, President of the Enniskillen Farmers' Union.
