145 24 may is there is little point in he is not getting fair deal from his neigh FRIDAY APRIL 1954 Need for Understanding Between Town and Country In todays issue of The Barrie Examiner special Federation of Agriculture supple ment has been printed dealing with prac tically all phases of agriculture as it affects Simcoe County in particular and Canada in general It is to be hoped that this supplement will have as strong an appeal to the urban reader as it has to his rural neighbor because and this can never be overemphasized we must be conscious of the basic factors of our interdependency if we are to achieve any sound understanding between the town and the country All tOO often we hear remarks like What do we town people care about the farmers They are doing pretty well or else we will have the farmer turn round and say Oh well we are not businessmen We dont understand the town ways of life It is regrettable that this situation exists and it is unfortunate that more is not being done to make each other aware of what the other is striving to achieve In world which is highly and efficiently organized there can be no disputing the fact that our farmers who represent Canadas basic industry should be in strong position to state their case with voice which will be effectively heard throughout the length and breadth of the land But and this is an important but the voice should not be one that is crying in the Unless the farmer can explain what his problem his shouting that wilderness to the urban dweller just her in the town All tOO often this has happened on both sides Without trying to understand what the other is doing or is hoping to achieve we are apt to fly off the proverbial handle and start denouncing the farmer if we come from the town or criticrze ing the town dweller if we come from the farm There can be no disputing the fact that in the past great deal of misunderstanding arose between both sides until the pointwas reached where we almost had two entirely separate forms of community life in this country Today through more sensible approach the part that both the tOWn and country dweller plays in it we are eliminating many of those misunderstandings It is essential that there must be common understanding of our mutual problems As we look around at the present time we find that many of our businessmen are connected with agriculture perhaps through being effective membersof agricultural or ganizations and at the same time we see many of our farming neighbors takingthelr place alongside the town dwellers on differ ent groups perhaps as representatives of the townships from which they come There can never be too much Of this rubbing shoulders together if we are to progress as we should Through their Federation of Agriculture the farmers now have more effective voice in the land than they did in the past Agri Eculture is big business Thege can be no mistake about that It is also businesspn which the complete structure ofour livmg is based That should never be forgotten Today the expression public relations meansas much to the farmer as it does to the businessman It is only by getting to gether and analyzing our different problems that wecan ever hope to achieve any mea sure of understanding If there is to be workable system of par ity prices which wouldbeof benefit to the urban as well as the rural people the farm talk over their problems with every other group Prices must be kept balanced evenly ifwe are to have soundeconomy When everything is boiled down that is the one tangible point on which we areall agreed We must have sound economy if Canada is going to go on to the future which lies ahead Whether we are business men or farmers We must appreciate that fundamental point and it is up to each and everyone of us tostrive for that objective The first step in reaching our goal is simple one if we will only make up our mind to do it try and understand our neighbor in whether he is from the town or the country Average Net Paid ABC Circulation Sixl nouns Ending Sept 30 1953 6404 QVHCMWIONS my swarmiv in Called mean sharing the scarcity when the cry to the whole question of our

millions almost equal to construction indicated for chain stores Included in the $34 millions is about $28milli0ns for new space and about $6 millions for repair and maintenance Bot tleneck on church building programs is lack of organizing personnel to quite an extent The difficulty of getting enough mortgage money to match th money members will put up is another frequent complaint is that subdividers just do not think of church es Churches have to buy residential lots in the open market Walter Reuther CIO labor chief said something the other day with which lot of people regardless of vocation will ceri tainly agree In rejecting Suggestion for 30hour Week Reuther stated that cut in the basic 44hour week would simply ingneed was for more purchasing power rather than more leisure On this continent despite the great advance in technical effi ciency we simply could not maintain essen tial production and services on 30hour week Goods would become scarcer and price higher lot of people would starve Men of wisdom have long been telling about that basic factor in productivity and the standard of living Now that men like Reuther are saying it there is some chance the truth will sink in where it will do good From now on vacationers away from home on election day will not lose their votes in Ontario provincial contests An amendment to the Election Act will give them the same access to an advance poll as is enjoyed by travelling salesmen and railway employees This would be wise move for Ottawa to follow Its unfortunate if citizen who wants to vOte is denied that right simply because of quirk of fate that puts him in the Maritimes when he should be voting in his home constituency OPINIONS OF OTHERS Recruiting Failure Smiths Falls RecordNews Costly recruiting

Army and released 6816 for total gain of 2031 It enrolled 9787 in the Air Force and released 4821 for total gain of 4966 Thus in whole year only 8378 men were added to strength of Canadas forces Especially signifi cant are Army figures which show that to add one man to strength four had to he enlisted Fact as most military men know is that Canadas voluntary system is failing to produce the right number of men let alone the right kind Yet External Affairs Minister Pearson journeys to Washington to criticize US military policy Right or wrong as that policy may be it is at least backed up with the full strength of the nation Until Canada can say as much it is in no position to criticize Recognlzmg Red China Simcoe Reformer Many Canadians will hold the view that Prime Minister Louis St Laurent and Hon Lester Pearson Minister of External Affairs have committed serious error in opening up at this time the question of recognition of Communist China and in signify ing that before long the Canadian House of Com mons will be required to pass judgment on this issue Both top Canadian statesmen have taken occasion in recent public addresses and press interviews to express their conviction that Canada will find it necessary to be realistic in this matter and to recog nize the government which in their words the people Of China have chosen to represent them When we read authentic statements by wellin formed observers to the effect that some 15 million nonCommunist Chinese have suffered death at the hands of the Red tyrants since theygained control in China few years ago it is difficult to place credence in the St LaurentPearson viewpoint that the Chinese people have approved of the Communist regime Rather it is quite evident that China is being steadily enslaved by the avaricious and cold It is only short time since Chinese Reds were killing Canadian and American soldiers in Korea The Reds are still there awaiting the signal to launch another attack upon South Korea Mean while they are supplying the Reds in IndOChina in their assault upon the French and loyal Indo Chinese armiesThe whole future of relations with the Communist world in the Far East will then it is decidedly premature to talk about recog nizing the RedChinese regime WALLSVMcnagin¢ Editor cnrrrxcx Sales Manner CF RIVETT Office Manager 415AM laxnon Newasdllol lI LLTOMLINBON

Examiner April may inform this citizen that on three occasions last year the Barrie Horticultural and Town improvement Society brought the Helm of disposal cans on our streets to the attention of Town Council They were ordered and prom ised to be on the streets by Old Home Week but apparently the company was unableto fill the order One week ago again grought this matter to the attention of Mr

find some way of reducing costs of production or go out of business Since wages were the chief cost it seemed reason able that reduction in that item should help the company to meet competition from
