FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 1956 Literary Venture Any new venture in publication is always interesting The establishment of weekly on the in dustrial frontier the setting up of daily in the competitive rush of growing city the birth oi magazinetheyall reflect somc oncs urge to enlarge the areaoi human communication And someones willingness to risk money on the proposition that the manner in which he performs this public service will appealvenough toreaders and advertisers to pay its way The Atlantic Advocate monthly found ed by the publisher of Frederictons daily paper The Cleaner will therefore be closely watched Except for occasional little mag azines devoted to the furtherance within small orbit or some critical or literary spe cialty the establishment of new periodical in Canada is an event comparable in its rar ity with discovery oi the coeiacanth The reason is obvious the availability on Can adian news standsoi many large general magdzines published in the United States The Fredericton publisher are an inter esting approach to the problem He has anchored his venture to progress oi the var ious bodiesnotably the Atlantic Provinces Economical Councildevoted to buickening the economic pulse oi the area sentence oi his openingeditorial says The Atlantic Advocate is iaunchedto fight the battles of the Atlantic provinces which Will winfor them fair place in the life oiCan ada But he is also aware oi the fact that to appeal to general readership no periodical can exist on discussionoi economic as pects alone The first issue of The AdVocate besides the record of the Fredericton con ference oi Atlantic premiers contains iic tion verse and general articles by writers from the Atlantic provincessome of whom live there others oi whom belong to that widespread group

caileda Crusade For Betteyrpfieading is being inaugurated by Kiwanis Clubs across Canada This cru sade hasa different approach from those which have been made previously to tne problem Its method is to appeal to parents oi children to exercise greaterycontrol over the material their children read lfarents are being asked to slgna pledge that they The first some tlrne there is prevailing conscious ness of the need ior discretion and selfcon trol in the exercisaof industrial and export power in world markets which has already shown some restraint on the excuses of competition which their low costs and de sirable merchandise can easily produce These restraints are guided solely by the Japanese view oi what are their best lbng term interests judgment of what they re gard as the maximum speed and extent of penetration oi market without in the pro cess producing positive adverse reactions in the market and in the product concerned These Judgments are based on the best ap praisal they can make oi how far they can progress without being iorced by outside ac tion to retreat The visiting Canadians were concerned solely with the textile industry but their ob servations no doubt apply over the whole range oi manufacturing ln Japan Other pertinent observations oi the visiting Can adians are methods and machines in Japan are in some ways more advanced than those in North America wagesaverage less than $10 week labor is well trained well treat ed and considers itseii well paid Companies are encouraged to go after export business by government subsidies on raw materials

trouble with its passenger service in the United States the bigrailways are trying to shrug themselves free from what has generally come to be regarded as losing proposition The New York Central and the Penn ylvnnimhavebpplied mime es in firstclass passenger rates which are so that they are regarded as attempts to get rid of the business entirely Now the New York Central is putting up for sale its passenger stations Officials say that they can lease back what space they need Some 406 stations are affected Some are small some are large terminals such as those in Buffalo Toledo and Cleveland The passing of the railway station will be big change in American life There was time when desirable types oi books which are so prev alent and also to pledge themselves not to allow such books Within their homes This is really placing the responsibility where it belongs Such campaign could have very strong influence onthe reading habits oi both children and adults2 It puts the onus on parents to exercise some super vision over the kind oi literature their child ren read and to do it in way which will direct their minds into channels oi more healthy reading Ii carried out to its logical conclusion it might be eiiective lnrestrict ing the output of objectional books and magazines by theisimple procedure oi re stricting the demand for them That would be much 19 re effective than

By Tobacco farmers oi Ontario Colllngwood Aug 31 1959 To the Editor The Barrie Examiner Sir In order for the peoplezo elect government that will govern this country for the people and their needsand to their en tire saiislaciion different bodies must bring to the attention of the government their needs desires and opinions and from this source certainly the government should make up its mind what to do on behalf oi the people Approximately six Juan the tobacco growers of 81533 through the tobaccb board brought to the attention of the federal government in Ottawa situation that would affect them very gravelyby way of labor shortage if remedy were not introducedby the federal goverri ment bymaklng arrangements for the type of laborcoming to ads that do and an country is as much transient agricultural labor required for short period as there is in Norfolk and adjacent counties during the tobacco harvest So much for what has becn but what of the future if the government wants to bacco grown here let it say so and if it wants production cut let it so state In my opinion the marketing board will be well adv vised iodcfer action in making an acreage allotment in January 1957 until the labor department announces lls policy in clear and unmistakable terms free and unrestricted flow of labor across the international boundary during the tobacco harvest of 1057 is the only satisfactory solution of the matter If we are granted this Just request then we can budget both for the domestic market and the probable export demand If on the other hand vacillaiing policy of wait and see is adopted through actions of the federal governmentand the inactivity of the federal government the mem bers of the Tobacco Marketing Associationwill have to give up and he tobacco growers ofCnn ads will price themselvosmut of the market When this occurs those that sell millions of dollars of necessarycommoditles to pro duce tobacco in the large and small plants of this country will lose that business theciiy workers and the city consumers by reducing their in CDIIIB This is another good way to bring on depression like the 30s which commenced during the last Liberal government re gime in

Liberal government at 0t tawa have pdid virtually no atten tion to the facts brought to them by the people in the tobacco producing industry who know what they are talking about with the result that at the present time when the harvest is being taken in there is grave and serious shortage of tobacco labor the re suits oi which are clearly brought out by the following letter which have received from MrF Gregory chairman of the Fl Cured Tobacco IMarkeiing socialion of Ontario Dear May we ra your attention to the ioliov ing article given recently to the press Too LluleanTaoLate Six months agoiit was quite sonthatthere would be very serious shortage of labor in the tobaccodistricts at harvest time unless the red tape and restrictive regulatio respect to the entry of us workers were relaxed at the ports of entry along international border With this in mind the board of directors of the Fine Cured Tobacco Marketing Association of Ontari warned the government labor officials and petitioned for relief We met with these officials on several occasions and the best we could get was permission for each curer to bring one primer and with the additional promise that further relief would be granted when the officials were convincedof its need Welheri pointed out that harvesting tobacco was alike buildingaloadorafifacibry wlfiii the work couldbe postponed for several days or week
