Boiled Oil -- Turpentine SERIOUS SHORTAGE OF FIREWOOD Ottawa--Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick are faced with a serious shortage of firewood for next winter, Munitions Minister Howe warned recently. The Minister appealed to all municipalities in wood-burning areas to canvass their own local situation and make all necessary arrangements for sufficient production. He said that farmers and other fuelwood producers should cut as much as possible during the balance of this spring and in the early summer. "We are faced with a situation similar to that of two years ago," said Mr. Howe. "Because of the continuing shortage of labour, and because early snows shortened the normal winter cutting season, in r sections not more than half as much firewood was cut as in the previous winter. Yet in the previous winter of 1943-44, the finest cutting se in 70 years ,the output was below normal. "The shortage can be overcome and distress avoided only if fuelwood producers cut as much as possible in the next few weeks." We have heard many definitions of friendship, but none more true to fact than this one of the little boy "A person who knows us--and still likes us." At Last-Fair Play for the Farmer "Canadian farmers have never had a fair return for their labour. They , are forced to buy in a protected market at relatively high prices and to sell in a world market at generally low prices. What agriculture needs is not crutches to carry its disability; it needs to have the disability removed. This can only be accomplished by permanent measures and long range planning."' At last--a farmer fights for fair play for farmers! For more than twenty years John Bracken, the Farmer, was the undefeated leader of a Farmers' Party. To-day, as leader of a great, national, progressive party, he is determined that throughout the length and breadth of Canada there shall be a square deal for agriculture . . . fair play for the farmer . . . on a permanent basis! Farmers have seldom had a fair share of the nation's income. Rarely do they receive a just reward for their endless labours. John Bracken means to stop, once and for all, the unfair discrimination against farmers, the unjust economic practices which make it impossible for farmers to obtain fair prices for the fruits of their labour. "It is the responsibility of the nation," says the leader of the Progressive Conservative Party, "to see that this great inequity shall not be perpetuated . . . I know where I stand in the matter. Let me make that position clear. It is not fore-ordained that farmers shall work for less pay than anybody else; or have their children receive only one-quarter the chance of a secondary education or one-tenth of the chance of a university education that other children get; or see their wives forced into lives of toil, often 12 but sometimes 14 hours a day--Sundays and holidays included. . . . The trouble is that no one with the necessary authority has determined to correct the basic economic ills of Agriculture." To-day, John Bracken, the Farmer, seeks the necessary authority to put into , immediate operation the far-reaching Progressive Conservative policies that will permanently ensure fair play for the farmer. Here are just some of the points in the Progressive Conservative plan for the definite, continuous and permanent protection of farmers against income collapse and wide extremes of income fluctuation: The Farmer shall be guaranteed a proportionate share of the nation's income. A permanent policy for forward contract prices shall be guaranteed to farmers--by law. The prices guaranteed will be calculated by a non-political council, and will be based on the farmer's proportionate share of the national income. These prices will be announced before the production seasons begin. This policy will increase present average farm income by not less than twenty per cent. It takes a farmer to understand farmers' problems. Only a farmer knows the full economic injustice from which farmers suffer. To-day, John Bracken is fighting for fair play for every farmer. The leader of the Progressive Conservatives is determined to bring security and prosperity to farmers permanently. Join in the fight. Help him to win his life-long struggle to give Agriculture a place in Canada's prosperity, not for a day--but for all time to A Farmer fights for you . your help.
