THURSDAY, OCTOBER, 10, 1940 The Power of Rural Canada In this issue will be found an address by B. H. Mortloek, formerly of The Statesman staff and now associate editor of The Brampton Conservator, delivered before the Bowmanville Rotary Club. The opeuing paragrapli of this report is one of great sig- nificance. It tells of the latent power of rural Canada that might be used if ever it could be intelligently mobilized. That it would be a power for good, no one sqriously doubts. But se f ar, it lias remained section- alized and largely unorganized. Coopera- tien hms been preached, for years but no national cooperation has been achieved among ruralites. Now that Canada is becoming so rapi(lly industrialized it is highly necessary that farmers get together to defend and promote their important position, in the if e of the nation. If they fail to speak for themselves, no one else wil, save possibly the weekly rural press. -l'he Statesman,week by 'week, has been lending its voice in an endeavor toward securing a fuil-time blinister of Agriculture who would lay downi a long view policy for agriculture. This paragraph from'Mr. Mort- hock 's address oughit to be carried on the mistI4ed of rural papers lear across Can- ada. It should set the 'farmers thinkipig, and that is the road to action. Pire Preveqtion in the Home The best place for fire prevention to start la in the home. Charity should start there necording te the ancient saying, and certain- ly safety should corne first. In order to safe- guard the home, inspection should be made, not only Fire Prevention Week but period- ieaily througýiout the year. All heating and Ighting equi ,pmenét examined, chiùûËey and pipes kept dlean of soot. No smoke pipes permitted tirougli combustible walls; dis- position of ashes safcrguarded. The fuse cabinet should be of metal or ashestos lined. 1'uses in ail fuse bhocks, none of them bridged, and not over 15 ampere fuses used inbrandi circuits. Ail drop corde should be insulated, and flot supported on any con-. ductive material. Electric irons should al- ways b. detatbed when not in use and kept on metal stands. Matches should be kept out of the reach of chiîdren and the children shouhd be re- gularly taught the dang&er of fire and net to play with, matches. The safest type of match to use is the "Safety Match" which may be ighted only on the box. Rosets 'should be kept dlean and al rubbieh removed from the entire premises. Cleanliness is next to Godliness. Perhaps tint la the reason it always plays'such an important part in fire prevention. This year again special emphasis i5 being' placed on the inspection of dwellings dur- ing Fire Prevention Week and you may ex- peet a visit from your local firemen. Are you ready for them? National Enthuslasmt Needed There are today, two masterful radio per- sonalities who commnand respectful and pro- found attention te every word they utter over the air. They are Winston Churchill * and Franklin Roosevelt. Indeed there are three. We ought to in- * lude Mackenzie King who han tint eanme m trful toch: But we hear him al too Ghurehiil. Weeks ago, in these columns, we. suggested that he aise speak te the people of Britain from timie te time, telling of Can- ada 's uushakable resolve. But out 0ouviction la thiat Mr. King is too cautiouqtoo proue to examine effects. And lier. la why wey.,soy 50In 1937 the editor of The Stateéman waa calied upon to intro- duce a delegation of directoim from the C.W.N.A. to Mr. King. It wasproposed thnt tic government ceuld render a great nat- ional service . were it te take the weeklies into its confidence and tiey, in turu, could inform their 6,000,000 readers, autiorative- ly, on the questions of tic day. The weeklies would open their columns freely ini a purely non-political manner se that rea»rs, cahm- ly, could form their own opinions. On. of the cabinet ministers precent said: "This is one of those rare occasions wh.n a delegation appears seeking ne favors for themselves."1 But nething came of it. Mr. King feit that the idea would be misinter- preted. And that is what is wreng. The time han come to throw caution over- board and speak directly te the people. It will net do to say tint a Bureau cf Public Information supplies adequate press re- leases. Tiese come te the desks of ail editors but are seldom used. W. want te hear Mackenzie King over tic air week by week and tie press wifl carry tic message te those who cannot "listen in" even as in Britain. What la Fraternalism ? Our conception of Fraternalism ie tint it i's moral ce-operation. It is a "getting te- getier" of people interested not only in their own welfare, morally and materiaily, but interested aIse ini tie welfare of others. The. fraternaiism we speak of is tiat founded upon kindiiness, tolerance, mutual aid and patrietism. There is another kind flaming ever 'the world to-day tint'edaims tiat tithe. It is Hitierism, and as it marches it destroys l other forms - utterhy. 1Our kind of fraternalism ineans unity; and unity meanus trength. And strengti of character and resources will utimately triumph ever aIl the base breeds tiat seek te destroy. W. pay tribute here te a wehi known fraternal erganization - The Canadian Or- der of Foresters - founded 61 years ago and growing stronger with the years and times. It pioneered in the Canadian field. It provides mutual support for tiose who wish te join in its fraternah endeavors. The C. O. F. dees tiree main things: Gives peace of mind and financial security for your old age; takes care of yofl wien il or injured; cares for yeur dependents siould 3-ou pass on. On anotier page are more particuhars. Organizations of this kind render a truly national service. lndustry va. War ServIces Press despatches indicate that industry has upset the dictum of War Services Minister J. G. Gardiner that every hast man called muet undergo training. A fierce _l.,ehiiil-the-scenes battl lias, been in pro- greis. The issue: Industry needs men more urgently than tie army at tuis time. Mr. Gardiner is at present ini Enghand. Col. J. ' L. Raîston, Minister of Defense, in an interview on Monday said: "In- dustrial maupewer needs have led to a re- examinatien of the whehe plan with the. prebability tint éa sweeping change in pro- cedure will be announced shortly." A eommittee representing Defense, Munitions and National Wat Services lias been set up to study the question. Meantime, training will proceed and it i5 probable that ne change will be effected until 1941. Agriculture, apparenthy, lias made ne formai representatiens nor is it represent- ed on the. committee. AlI this is very ser- ious business. It seems that original plans ýiere hastily conceived and disorganizatien and unreet lias spread in both industry and agricul- ture. At the moment there seems little prospect tint farm.ers' sens can escape training, de- spite pressure cf farm work, until action la jtaken on the emmittee's report. Ahi of which wouhd seem te indicate tint tiere xnay have been conflct in Cabinet Council or tiat there may be when Mr. Gardiner returns from England. Agriculture ougit te step into the picture and ielp settle the whohe matter. Keep Your Credît Good In tiese days when cne le called upon te meet se many financial obligations, one cf our firat obligations siould be te maintain tificate; Driver's license; Receipt for car licence; Sales Tax licen»e; Gun- icense; Fisiing icense; Radio license; Dog license. Soon we '11 have te carry a suitcas te hold our license forme. Maybe tiey'hl be askin*g for a license for carrying the suit- case.
