District Doings SUSPEND LICENCE OF ROYAL HOTEL Whitby--By an order of the Ontario Liquor Licence Board, issued recently, at Whitby was suspended for a period of two weeks, commencing November 14.

The order stated also that the general supervision of the hotel's bevcrage room was unsatisfactory.

Now that the Dominion- -Provjncial | Conference is over and the represen- tatives Of the several Seiebante i, have returned to their capitals, witl out endorsing Mr. Frost's suggestion for a National Health Plan, would this not be a good time to give serious study to the possibility of a real health plan,--that is a plan to improve the health of 'the people, not merely to, pay their doctor and hospital bills when they are sick?" y ' citizens the laws of health and im- press them with the importance of observing those laws in their every: «day lives would do more to improve the health of the nation than any of the plans for making the people pay each other's bills when they are sick; and it would cost only a small fraction of the 760 million dollars which some iifiticiang would like to spend. © 1 «~The Rdral Scene.

McLaughlin, two other teams of plowmen-- from Northern Ireland, and Britain--and a number of World Plow- ing Organization officials and their friends. When word got around that it was my birthday, the whole party offered their congratulations. The air was clear and our view of the flat English farmland on the banks of the THames was- a.sight we will long re- member, j While skirting the coast of Holland we could see quite plainly the many miles of dykes with Amsterdam 10 miles to our right. Our flight took us over Heligoland, that German Island in the North Sea which had been so heavily fortified by the Kaiser Wil- helm previous to the First World War. WATER SHORTAGE _By the time we were approaching Oslo it was getting dark and the lights were coming on us we flew up the coast of Norway. To view this coun- try from the air and. see the great number of lakes, "tivers and fjords, would lead one to think that conserva- tion of water would present ho .pro- hlem in that country, On the contrary, as we learned later, Norway, Sweden and Finland all had the driest summer in many years. In fact, the plowing fields at Uppsala, where the match is to be held, have been so dry, that had it not been for daily artificial watering during the past month, there would have been no match, } © Our plane stopped a very short time in Oslo, and then' took off for Stock- holm, There we werg welcomed by Bengt Stengander, the representative for the Wald Plowing: Ovganization in Sweden. Mr. Stengander is manager of the Swedish plow team. In 1963 he accompanied the Swedish team to Cans ada andgdnst yesY tothpmageh at Kil- larney. Ile, al the present time, is seeretary of the Swedish Farm: Youth Federation, Our group was taken Ao the, Hotel Malmen, a very modeyn hotgl built just four years ago, which compares favor- able with any we have in Canada, It did seem strange to hear the Swedish junguage when we arrived, but on the next day when the groups from Nor- way, Denmark, Finland, Haly, Bel- gium, France, Germany, Holland. and the United States came, it sounded jike the United Nations FORESTRY EXHIBIT "I'hut morning after breakfast Albert tiall, escretary of the WPO suggested we might like to see a forestry ex- nibition in a park in Stockholm, The exhipition was held in a park of over 100 acres, known as the Natural His- cory Muscum' of Stockholm, on a mountidin high above the city." The taxis took us half way up the mountain side and then the rest of the way was made on an escalator several hundred feet long. } 'I'he exhibition, portraying Sweden's must valuable natural resource was spread over a large area, showing: many uses for the products of forest, how it can best be preserved and improved, the great hazard of forest fires was emphasized and many types of equip- ment for fighting fires were shown, It was an interesting and instuctive exhibition and I am very sorry that our youyg Canadians haven't the op- portunity of seeing one in our country. As a member of the Canadian Forestry Association and the 'I'fees Conserva- tioh Commission of Waterloo County, I feel the information I received will be of great help. ON TO UVPSALA The next day, two of the most mod- ern buses 1 have ever ridden in carried us out of the city. On the way out to Uppsala we no- ticed a great difference between the Swedish and English farms. Instead of hedged fields of green sod and many herds of cattle and sheep, we saw plowed fields, no hedges or fences and no livestock. We were told that ow- ing to the very dry summer there was no giass for the cattle and they were - CANADIAN . PLOWMEN ABROAD CANADIAN, PLOWING TEAM 'the woods, Monoger W. C. Barrie being stable fed. Instead of perma- nent fences they use electric or single barb wire fences: We did see a large number of fields of rape, which is sown in rows about the first of September and hgrvested the next August We were quite sur- prised to learn thinit in this great dairy the farmers were growing rape for to make margarine. \ We were also surprised when pass. ing a great. many army trucks loaded with soldiers that this country, which has had peace for over two hundred years, has miliary conscription. Every man at 21 years of age has to spend a year in the army and then for the next 16 years, one month each year. NO LAND WASTED The area of good farmland in Swe- den is limited and none of it is wasted. On the farms we passed on the 40- mile trip to Uppsala we noticed that all of the farm buildings were built on some hill .or rough land not fit for cultivation. While passing a farm we noticed a large number of pales about six feet long standing upright in a field and were told that when the oats are cut the sheaves are placed on these poles to dry, All ather grain, such as wheat and barley, have to be artificial- ly dried as soon as they ave threshed The average Swedish farm is about 20 acres of working land and 40 acres of bush and to make a good living, ed motor car, go up a ladder, paddle a As sover 50 percent of Sweden's exports ave from the woods, we can readily see why good forestry is so important, "Near Uppsala the buses stopped at the Agrleultural School, where the students do not study in classrooms but are put to practical work on the farm. -We were shown through the testing department where tractors and other farm machinery are put to a rigid test, A new tractor that is be- ing put on the market by an imple- ment company is usually run on a full load for 1500 hours and the report published so that the farmers know which make to buy. One building housed a collection of early Swedish plows and other implements, some of them nearly 200 years old. As we drove out to the site of the world plowing match we could see the great streams of water that have beer applied to. the plowing land night and day for the past month to make it fit for plowing." Up to that--time over 6,000,000 gallons had been used. and watering was to continue until th plowing started.

They have a vague notion it is a thing that Chambers of Commerce and Manu- facturérs plump for, but nobody else needs very much, Well, I'm tickled that somebody's plumping for free- dom, but if the truth were realized, the fellow who'd be fighting the hard- est for freedom would be YOU--or me, or the other Toms, Dicks and Harrys in this country. And I'll tell you why I feel that way. Freedom is my very pay cheque-- and yours, too, if you think about it. When you've done your day's stint, isn't the freedom you've earned the most important thing--the freedom to go for an outing with your family, in your own car, perhaps, or take in a show, or play billiards, or read, or argue with friends (my choice), or listen to a lecture, or attend prayer meeting. There ave so many choices. Sup- pose at the end of your day you were meerly glven a certificate redeemable at a State store? Suppose your read- ing matter was all prepared for you 'by a State agency ? Suppose you need- ed a permit to travel? Suppose your free choices were all taken away from you? What would you be working for then? A niere brute existence! To me, my freedom is the real pro- fit from a days work. And because I have freedom, I can choos the work that 'comes as close to my desires as is practical. Of course, I must make a living; that is a discipline imposed by nature--not by man. I'll gladly put up with the disciplines nature im- poses; I'll be mighty suspicious of those imposed by men.
