We have been watching with som, Interest, and flot a little puzzlement, thi spasrnodic effarts which have been maci froin time ta time in recent years in thi province ta set up what appears ta be rival farrn graup ta the Federatian o: Agriculture, called the "farmer's union.' We recail a few years ago sorne meetingi were held at variaus points in Easterr Ontario, but the effort of that time appar- ently died out. However, ithe. past year the maya. ment bas revived again, with the appear. ance on the scene of organizers from West- ern Canada. The new group, which ap- parently bas organized locals in a few places, appears ta be an off-shoot of the farmer's union movernent which ha. develaped in thie past few years in sorni parts of the western prairies, and which bas definitely established itself as a rival mavement ta the. western Federation of Agriculture. The basis of the farm union moverneni ini the west appears ta bave been a dissat- isfactîon with the federation set-up, partice- ularly in the province of Saskatchewan, where the complaint apparently was that the farmer's movement was domînated by the. Saskatchewan Wheat Pool, and that the federation was thus flot truly repre- sentatîve of the f armers. The movement spread ta Alberta, but there unity bas been fairly well preserved by the joining up of the old UFA. organ- ization wîth the newer farmers' union group, under the name of the Alberta Farmers' Union, which retains its affilia- tion with the. Alberta Federation of Agri- culture. Tii. Saskatchewan farmers' union twa years ago broke off its affiliation with the. Saskatchewan federation. In Manitoba the farmers' union, judg- ing from reports, bas been more violently antagonistic ta tii. federation than in the other two provinces, and saine pretty hars*h things are being said by fariner union leaders against the. leaders of the Federation of Agriculture in that province. It seems ta us ta b. a great pity that such disunity sbould be building up in tiie * farm movement, and we sincerely trust that a way will be found ta prevent any seriaus split in Ontario. W. have iiad fairly intimate knowl- edge tiirough the years of the, arganiza- tional set-up aid the. functioning in Ontario of bath our county and aur pro- vincial Federations of Agriculture, and we have believed that tiiey bave been doing an excellent job on behalf of tii. farmers.

It is readily accepted that there muç b. disagreernents and differences c opinion within any arganization worthyo the naine, but if there are such in th, farin movement in Ontario, surely there i opportunity for settling these matter within the. rank and file of the, existinl organization, without resorting ta ti ratiier extremne measure of setting up rival group. It is rigut and praper tlîat farin theinselves as producers, should retair contrai at aIl turnes af their own genera' farm organization, and if there is an3 attempt at domination by any specifi group, the situation should be firmly deali with, and should neyer be allowed te become s0 strong an issue as ta aplit the mavement. We do nat 1pretend to have any Intimate knowledge of farmn rganization troubles in the west, but s0 far as Ontario is concerned, we have always believed, and continu, ta believe, that thie Federa- tion of Agriculture, as it is constituted ber., is sufficientîy democratic in structure and opemation, ta make it readily possible ta iran out any internal probleins of organization. Believing this, and believing that unity is of the utniost importance, we are inclind ta look upon the formation of the rival farin group as a retrograde step in the farin movement of this province. In the. eigiiteen years tue Federation of Agri- culture has been functioning, it bas been able ta build up, on a nan-political basîs, an organization of cansiderable prestige, conîmanding the respect of those in autiior- ity in bath provincial and federal circles, and bas been able ta have many of its policies, formulated in the interests of the people on the land, adopted as gaverninent policy at bath Toronto and Ottawa.

The officers and directors are a young and inexperienced group in this branch of community betterment, but latent talent bas been discovered demonstrating abil- ity, determination, diplomacy and enthus- iasm, aIl of which is bound ta produce satisfactory resuits, providing the members at large give their wholebearted support and ca-operation. To accomplish this objective it means every member must dig in and do bis full share of the work and flot leave it ta the offîcers and directors, which bas been too of ten the case with local Chambers of Commerce and Boards of Tradein the past. If you haven't read Elmer Banting's address before the Kinsmen Club and the Rotary Club in last week's Statesman, look them up now and read them. If you can't find this issue of June l7th came down to the office and we'll gladly give you an- other capy. His talks were without a doubt the most pungent on the value of a Chamber of Commerce ta a town we bave ever beard. We liked it because b. didn't hold back any puncbes, called the variaus problems as he saw them and suggested how they might b. impraved. It was really refreshing and stimulating ta bave a com- paratively newcomer ta aour town who bas in several ways already proven a real asset ta aur community, be the means of "éseeing ourselves as others see us." Quoting from bis address, which is of paramaunt consideration at the moment regarding stores apening Friday nights tili 9 p.m. and clasing Saturday nights at 6 p.m., be said "be bad personally been surprised at tbe lack of ca-aperation among business men here on closing hours and other matters of mutual interest .... with a little give and take an the part of thosn concerned a solution could be worked oui so that everyone might benefit withe spirit of talerance, understanding and co. operation." *Right along this very lin. the local druggists, in an announcement in lasl week's Statesman, have sbown a commend- able spirit of co-operation by adopting bours of opening and closing as well as taking care of emnergency calîs. Verbal arcbids also go ta the barbers who long since adopted uniform bours and in receni weeks tbe jewellers have agreed on hurs of doing business. Elsewhere in this issue is an advertise- ment giving the names of merchants who have agreed ta give a trial at keeping their stores open during July and August on Friday evenings until 9 p.rn n nSt urday evenings will coea 6 p.m. It is expected that more merchants will agree ta these hours during the summer months. Although we are not personally affected by this modern trend of store bours, we are indirectly affected as the success of a newspaper depends primarily on the financial success of its local merchants. We don't think the merchants will suffer any material loss of business, any mare than they did years ago wben tbey cut out keeping their stores open tilI aIl hours of the night, and in more recent years abserved the baîf holiday Wednes- day afternoons. We know it is difficult for saine of us aId timers on Main Street ta get away from the horse and buggy customns and habits back in the 80's and 90's. But let us admit that many in this generation are doing a far better job than their fathers and grandfatbers back in the so called digaod aid days." Sa let mare merchants show a litti. more tolerance, understand- ing and ca-operatian in this and other problems thie Chamber of Commerce is undertaking ta do for the betterment of all aur citizens in town and district. Counties Council Suffers Growing Pains With the United Caunties of Nort'h- uznberland and Durham suffering from growing pains, having outgrown office space allotted ta themn in the Cobourg municipal buildin~g it might b. an oppor- tune tine for the two counties ta sever partnersbip and go their own individual ways. Better still, we would suggest tbey disband and throw the administration into the lap of the Ontario Departrnent of Municipal Affairs. For in recent years, ta a great extent, caunty councils across the province are sa tied down in their officiai duties they might well b. classed as "rubber stamp" to'the powers that rule at Queen's Park. The few liberties county councils are now permitted without the 0K of approval from the Dept. of Muni- cipal Affairs, could well be sbuffled back ta town and township councils wbich civic bodies are directly responsible ta the electors who pay the ever increasing taxes. 0f course, ta carry out thîs suggestion it would require the complet. overhauling of the antiquated Municipal Act which dates back ta the horse and buggy days A Prayer for Dominion Day 0 God, the Eternal, on a day of haly and high remembrance, we pray for aur country, humbly invoking Thy bl.ssing. By Tby providence aur fathers brought forth a new nation in a new world, based upon faith in Tiiee, and faith in the sanctity and worth of human souls made in Thine image. Grant us grace, we beseech Th.e, that we, their sons, and aIl the people of this land - men of many races, folk of many faiths - may live tagether in mutual trust and good will. Purify aur spirits by Thy Spirit, that aur people may have a rebirtii of religiaus faith, moral health, and social stability; a right judgment of facts, a clear sense af values. Unit. aur hearts in one purpose - for the holîness of the home and the altar, for the safety and service of aur country, for the building of a beloved community ta Thy glory. Visit not upon aur children the sins of an age whose spirit was flot steadfast with Thee. Stay Thy hand, and help us ta use aur power ta heal the hurt of a broken humnanity. Save us, 0 God, frorn the horrors of war: lead us in the paths of brotherly kindness, that aur nation may bave a nobler 11f., a wiser liberty, and a more enduring peace; in Thy naine, Amen. -John Fort Newton. cNew' Idea for Local Museum S Lest you overlooked reading Jim n~ Lovekin's "Letter ta the Editor" in last dweek's Statesman look it up now. Jim ypresents a new idea in which he dlaims c Durham County, by ignoring establish- i ng a local museumn, we ' re neglecting a major industry which was not thought of by people interested in this movement. To bolster up further interest and public opinion in a Durham County Museum we are pleased ta announce that Miss Anna P. Lewis, Director of Women's Institute Branches in Ontario, Toronto, bas kindly consented to corne to Bowmanville this Eall and address a public meeting, show- ing ber wonderful collection of bistorical slides of Ontario as well as the Coopers- town views referred to in Mr. Lovekin's letter. So in the meantime talk the idea of a museum over with your frienda and tben bring, them, along to the meeting which will be announced later in The when councillors wore whiskeru, red flan- nel underwear and celluloid collars. While niast other public offices and government services bave been modernized in keeping with highway traff ic, autos, 40-hours work week, take-home-pay and electric raors, county cauncils seem quite contented ta Howev.r, they must be given credit for adapting saine of the new fandangled customns such as increasing regular ses- sions, extra emergency meetings at $10.00 per day. But that stipend doesn't arnount ta peanuts on their incarne tax report when Finance Minister Abbott gets bis take-off. Coming back ta the. original Idea which înspired this periodic autburst on the editor's favorite topic when editorial subjects are lacking, we'll wa ger Reeve Little a box of bis favorite Peg Top ci gars that if bis cammittee buys Hatfield Hall at Cobourg ta bouse the Counties Council and staff it will cast the ratepayers over $175,000 before this glorified monument ta an obsolete civic body is finished. yW y l 8 ; aR rv. 1 a r , What bas the Ontario Department of IHighways gat against Bowmanviîîe? Ta start with, the town was short jchanged on the Waverley Road Cloverleaf that was on the original plans of the new 401 Hîghway. A delegation compased of the Mayor and three councillors went ta Toronto last year ta see if this cloverleaf cauldn't be installed, as originally planned. At that time they were told that a Depart- ment Engineer would corne down and look the situation over and contact the members of the delegation with bis opinions. The mernbers of the delegation are still waiting - and another year bas gone by. But adding insuit ta injury, Bowman- ville is almost totally neglected when it cornes ta signs on iHighway 401. True, Bowmanville's freak zig-zag interchange bas a few signs, as you approach the town, designating its existence, but that is the only place you will find a Bowmanville sign on this gloriaus new highway. As yau leave Toronto caming east there are signs for Ajax, Whitby, Oshawa, Newcastle and Port Hope. As yau enter the bighway an the east most of these signs are again repeated for towns an the west of us - but no Bowmanville. Just what have we done te affend the Departinent cf Highways?
