These two women voiced their opinion of how the job should be done and it was a good thing the seamstress was interrupted in the nick of time or that poor mans pants would have been remodelled to "Bermuda shorts".

Northumberland Farm Forums Price spread in Canada, based on the report of the recent findings of the Royal Commission, was the topic discussed by Ontario Forums this week. The broadcast, heard on February 15th, took the form of a press conference during which one of • the Commission members outlined some of the findings of particular interest to Agriculture. The Forums were asked to answer two questions: First, j What part of the Commission's findings will be of most value to agriculture, and Second, which recommendations do you feel deserve to be immediately implemented? The Forums were vasked to name the three recommendations they considered most important. his trousers, "Tt can be" a little confusing, especially to a Lake-port resident. The husband had purchased a pair of pants and found they were a little too long, so his wife undertook the job of altering. Well, there she was, scissors in hand and all ready to slash far too much material off the pant legs, for- Opinions on part of the Commission's findings, which will be of most value to Agriculture ranged all the way from none of them to all of them. Many Forums felt they were not sufficiently familiar with report to assess it, while a large number said they found difficulty understanding it. Plainville, however thought it would be of •little use to 'farmers, but might help ponsumers considerably. However, the majority agreed that the Commission's findings concerning the inability of farmers in increase their income in the face of pressure of large corporations buying and precessing and marketing Agricultural products should help to make farmers realize the necessity of forming co-operatives. And in this regard, more marketing boards were also suggested. Concerning the recommendations, Forums were in closer agreement although they selected five out of the ten for special mention. Cobourg Road was among the many Forums who mentioned number five, the recommejndation concern-i n g packaging, labelling, grading and advertising, but numbers three and four received almost as many votes. Those are the ones suggesting extendrrrg inquiries under the Combines Investigation Act into the buying and selling practices of large business organizations in the four industries and condem-ing the stamp plans. Most Forums mentioning stamps plans thought they should be outlawed or if that was impossible, customers should be given a cash discount. Bethesda, Morganston, Mount Pleasant and Front Road East suggested that the Federal Statute for the incorporation of co-operatives be their recommendation. Another recommendation that was very popular was that the government ol Canada maintain a firm position in defence of a stable level of domestic prices. Of Many Things by Ambrose Hills DEFINITIONS I defined socialism, in a debate with a CCF-er, as "ownership of the means of production, distribution and exchange by the State." William Irvine, Alberta CCF president, says that. "His definition of socialism is not only false, it makes him a laughing stock." Well, if it makes me a laughing stock, it does the same for the Encyclopedia Britannica, Webster's Dictionary, Mr. Bevan of the Socialist party in the U.K., and countless others. Mr. Irvine went on to say that, "The fact is-' socialism means extending to every individual the maximum of private property." O h, brother, what twistings and turnings the socialist mind is going through these days! I venture to say that Mr. Irvine smacked his lips over the new-coined definition of his, but if it doesn't make him a lavishing stock it at least puts him on a par with the communists at twisting the meanings of words. Mr. Irvine then goes on to define the "State." He says that properly speaking it is the people -- all of them. That it is an intrument of the people and should be freely used by them. He then says, "But the power of the state can be and often has been usurped by tyrants and used as an instrument of oppression." I believe that! It is for that very reason that I like to sea the power of the state limited and not increased. I prefer to have the means of production in the hands of private persons rather than in the hands of the state, even if the state purports to act for all individuals. In fact, the state is run by the government, and government officials can get pretty dictorial even now. Just imagine what it would be like if every job depended on politi- cal pull! Mr. Irvine went on to say that Capitalism uses . the power of the state now just as tyrants do. I don't believe it. But we started out by talking about definitions. I do think there is a good deal of-confusion about the meaning of words. Most of that confusion is in the ranks of the CCF-ers who are trying to see the people the idea that they really aren't very socialistic after all. They are the ones who need to get things straightened out with the dictionary folk* TOWNSHIP OF HALDIMAND Land for Sale by Tender TENDERS WILL BE RECEIVED BY THE UNDERSIGNED UP UNTIL NOON WEDNESDAY, MARCH 2nd, to purchase the following lands presently owned by the TOWNSHIP OF HALDIMAND: PARCEL NO. 1, The North part of the South Half of Lot 26 Concession 1, Township of Haldimand, 40 acres more or less.
