IS THIS A PROMISE Organized as community units in which farm neighbors get together to discuss matâ€" ters of public interest, stimulating people to think and encourage them to give expression to their opinions. Then collective decisions are forwarded to a central broadcasting depot from which on the last Monday of each month, a general review is sent out over the air. This project forum participants into an even wider community. It promotes a new "conception of Canada and definitely cements Canadian unity. _ e In a recent broadcast the Minister of Fiâ€" nance, Hon. D. C. Abbott, explained why the Canadian Government had decided to cut out gxl'.ice control. It should need no explanation. ice control was adopted during the war as a war measure. It is, as Mr. Abbott sgs, not even constitutional for the Dominion Governâ€" ment to enforce this sort of regimentation in time of peace. _ â€" _ _ = C " _ Mr. Abbott is the minister responsible for framing the budget. His recent statement must be regarded as entirely official. Mr. Abbott pointed out that, as a direct reâ€" sult of abolishing price control, there is a saving of hundreds of millions of dollars a year in subsidies. The removal of price conâ€" trol on bread saved $35,000,000 a year in subâ€" sidies on wheat. â€" & T Mr. Abbott tied up this removal of subâ€" sidies with a reduction in taxation, so the Canadian people will now assume that, whatâ€" ever else happens, the next budget will inâ€" clude a tax reduction at least equal to the uvings in subsidies as a result of the removâ€" ing of price control. _ _ _ o. FARM FORUMS CONSTRUCTIVE FORCE It is high]y encouraging to learn that the Farm Radio Forums have been greatly exâ€" tended for the 1947â€"48 season as a résult of many summer conferences and field organizaâ€" tion work. They opened on Nov. 3 and will continue to March 22. This makes each Monâ€" day night something to look forward to for the people of rural Canada. These forums which have been made possible on a national basis through the advent of radio have beâ€" come a highly constructive force in the life of the nation. â€" Carrying the idea a bit farther we quote from forum literature: "Farm Radio Forums are the Voice of Rural Canada, a better world." No section of the press has done more to support Farm Radio Forums than the rural weeklies from coast to coast. Forum news is carried weekly throughout the entire season. It is hoped that this short review of the value of Farm Forums may help in some measure to increase attendance at the Peel County Forums during the season just started. * athes\ C tinte Shes souh" *** 0.

Industrial and commercial enterprise has created many useâ€" ful amlicatim for electricity, and domestic uses have been the objective of our greatest engineers. As a result there has been a steady growth in the use of electrical energy. Few seem to understand that the flow is limited. It is so easy to,turn the switch or %’\eu the button that people become careless. e house is flooded with light, going all day in some cases. Power is consumed without a thought of its source or lupRly. Warnings have been issued but little heed has been taken and as a result the rationing of power once more is a reality. It certainly is a blow to the theatres and merchants that all elecâ€" tric signs, flood lights, etc., are cut off, yet this is to enable the wheels of industry to continue to turn and to give to the houseâ€" holder the use of their electrical equipments. In order that there may be no further curâ€" taikment, it is the duty of every citizen to utilize every means of conserviz}f electrical energy. Use one ligehet instead of flooding the house with light. See that every utensil used w id dA A dsc onbaiic t aedihavaidica ract A opteenaniiients ind is turned off immediately and that no power is wasted. The Ontario Hydro Electric Commission anticipate that if this is done, there will be a big saving in electric energy that can be diverted‘"to the continuance of inâ€" dustrial prosperity. Keep the wheels of inâ€" dustry running, keep the flow of current down by conserving every kilowatt of power. Your support will mean success to the effort of a commission to supply all with the needs of the day. Familiarity breeds contempt. It is easy to turn the switch Anddh‘nlthod_nrkmor LC L.

At Toronto on Friday hog producers decided it was now, ‘"financially imâ€" possible to produce hogs" in Ontario,.and at the same meeting Agriculture Minister Kenâ€" nedy spoke of "Ottawaâ€"fumbling." Mr. H. H. Hannam, president oftthe Canadian Federaâ€" tion of Agriculture, said over the weekâ€"end the recent action had "cut the feet from unâ€" der the best livestock program we ever had in Canada." Small pigs which were $10 last ;gring are said to be selling between $2 and now. When the Dominion Government disconâ€" tinued the subsidy on feed grains, took price ceilings Ofsm and allowed coarse grain to be traded on the exchange,Y started something. With a feed shortage all over the East, and rumors that while plenty of feed had moved East little of it had actually reached farmers, the implication being it was being held for the expected price advance, farmers generally were in no mood to be amiable. Feed grain prices are today from 80 to more than 100 per cent higher than a month ago under subsidy and ceiling prices. While in theory the lifting of price eeilings on meats should allow them to advance somewhat in line with feed prices, it is not working out just that way. There was a big backlog of meat ready to be processed as a result of the packinghouse workers‘ strike and there is the fixed price for export bacon and ham going to Britain. So large is the British conâ€" tract that the export price pretty well conâ€" trols the market. Now hog producers are demanding revision upwards of the British contract price, beef producers want the U.S. market opened, and milk producers are insisting on higher prices. Protest meetings of farmers are being held in almost every county in Ontario. Hog proâ€" ducers are quite well aware that the British market is essential if the present high level of hog production in Ontario is to be conâ€" tinued, but it is doubtful if they will breed for next season‘s production unless assured of a better contract price. The most reasonable among them claim it cannot be done. EDITORIAL BRIEFS Did you ever notice that those on the lookâ€" out for trouble find it easily enough. Customer.

The new maid had a habit of leaving the kitchen radio on from morning to night, so that her misâ€" tress was almost driven crazy by the constant. blaring of jazz and soap operas, . _ _ f "I do not care to work," she said, with simflle dignity, "in a home where there are no â€" cultural influences." _ Finally, the lady gave orders that the radio was to be silenced, whereupon the maid gave notice. "But, madam, I‘m afraid you‘re making a mistake. I am a doctor, certainly, but I‘m a doctor of music." "I know that," replied the old lady, "and that‘s why I came to you.

Marshall, Chief of Staff of United States Military Forces in World War 2, now Secretary of State for the great American Republic and author of the Marshall Plan conceived for the recovery of the liberated peoples of Europe and the reâ€"establishment of peace. His story is an indictment of weak leaders in the preâ€"war period. THE PRICE PAID Fifteen million dead in military personnel alone is General Marâ€" shall‘s estimate of the human slaugliter brought on largely through appeasement of predatory dictators. Civilian deaths, hunger and misery are left out of his calculations. That was the price {)lid to bring about on this continent at least, what we are now told is a period of unprecedented prosperity. REVIEW IN CANADA Before the release of General Marshall‘s summary, this column began in this new series of articles a broad review of these Ten Eventful Years as they niplied particularly to Canada. The purpose was to ghow how little the present government did in the way of leadership to halt the dictators and how valiantly the people of Canada rallied to assume leadership and to win back threatened fmdom. LOST OPPORTUNITY 3 Canada missed a great opportunity to make a stron(? bid for interâ€" national leadership at the time our representative at Geneva was reâ€" versed and repudiated over sanctions against Mussolini in Ethiopia. It was a pattern of appeasement that led progressively to war. It was a time when Canada should have taken a firm line which would have given heart to the bewildered prophets of "Peace in Our Time," but Ottawa threw away the chance. PEACE MONGERING Now with all the war dead, with the wreckage of war and hunger and misery still the picture across emblttl«f Europe, our latest contribution in the face of revived aggression on the part of a Comâ€" munist dictator, is an innocuous resolution called "Peacemongering" put forth in the United Nations Assembly. The resolution was sponsored by the Deputy Prime Minister of Canada, Mr. 3. Laurent. DUBIOUS HOPES M Conceived as the antidote to "Warmongering" it received unanimous acclaim and was supported by the deputy of the Communist Dictatorship of Russia. Certainly it was for it was the old idealism clothed in difâ€" i;ré}ft"!;'rméiéfii{'{t characterized 'léifi‘é};hip] decade ago. It tosses the ball back to free peoples to grasp the hope that Russian adherence means renouncing Imperialism both political and material. only furthers their designs. FAILED AG Aggression cannot be stopped b{ a mere phrase. The squabbles will go on and the Comintern will still pursue its avowed course. Canâ€" ada as the assumed leader of the lesser nations might well have taken a more realistic stand by coming out flatly in support of the Marshall Plan and with a pledge that ldggmnlon would be halted in everg wnj' possible.

We grow in grace and in holiness as we become more and more associated with and have fellowship with God the Father, God the Son andâ€"God the Holy Ghost. If through this constant effort to improve our spiritual relationship, there would be less conflict and sinfulness in the universe. *‘ In today‘s Epistle and Gospel there is an exortation to all to live more closely according to the teaching of our Lord Jesus Christ. There is also the illustration and demonstration of the power of faith in the Supreme Being to accomplish those things that seem to man to be impossible. There is that simple faith of the woman who felt that the closer contact with our Lord Jesus Christ, even the hem of his garment touched, would bring about a solution and relief to her troubles, The faith of that nobleman whose daughter was dead, but who believed in the power of our Lord Jesus Christ to such an extent, that he saw the great miracle that was performed. These illustrations and teachâ€" ings age for the idification of us in this present day. With all the difficulties and problems that are now facing us in our home life, church ‘li!o, civic life and national life there is bug, one who can, and will solve these difficulties if we will renounce the world, the flesh and the devil. The cultivation of & faith is made possible by the submission of ourâ€" selves to the will of God. Quietly stop and read the Gospel and Epistle for the day, and then on bended knees in true humility and earnestness use the Collect for this 24th Sunday after Trinity.
