Eglinton, | Times in the New York | Rural Social Centres | Legivtetion for the development of cony jmunity balls and athletie grounds for the henefit_ of rural Ontario was introduced in the legislature by Hon. George 8. Heary, minister of wgriculture, The government believes that the community spirit should be fostered in the country districts, as it develops. co-operation and a greater feeling of contentment. It is believed that com munity halle will provide a convidersble service to the farmers. It js not the inten- tion of the government to build these halla in a hit-or-miss fashion in the province or to foot the total bill, The act introduced | provides for the government making a grant of 25 per cent. of the cost of constructing n community hall up to ® maximum of $2,000. The type of hall to be erected will have to be approved by the department although the title to the property will be seated in the township, This will give it permanency. While it ix anticipated that |the township councils will in most cases take the initiative to build ball, local organizations will be permitted to under. take the work The government grant of per cent. will be made upon the value of the building, and in addition to the site local interests. must provide a suitable field. 'The hall, it ix hoped, will furnish & meeting place for the community, for |dances, social events of all kinds and meet- ings. Club rooms could be built for wo- men's institute meetings and for farmers' organizations generally. Should the town- ship council, or whatever body undertakes to erect. the building, desire to provide extra accommodation, it will have to niet the extra cost itself Should Be Proud of Their Calling Writing in the Weekly Sun, our old friend, John Kennedy, says "the greatest question that stares ua in the face to-day is how to get more men on the land." One way, this page submits, in for' farmers to magnify their culling, instead of de- rying it. The old proverb concerning the folly of a desler crying "stinking fish" in his own market upplies here us else- where. How can farmers expect their sons or daughters to be eager to stay on the laud when they hear, day in and dey out, from infancy up, their calling belittled, the fate of the farmer bewsiled, and a contrast drawn between the supposl ease nnd com- fort of dwellers in the towns and the alleged degradation and slavery of the denizens of the country? To make the matter worse, every week a budget of printed plaints ix added to these vocal wails, by [the introduction to\the home of some such paper as the Sun, always grumbling, and dealing in gross exaggeration and misrenre- sentatién, One way, and much the best |way, to get, more men on the farm or keep more men, is to. realize that there is no reason in the world, fiscal, eon- omic, or social, why the farmer should not be the freest, the happiest, the most in- dependent nian in all the lund, snd to preach doctrine, in season and out of season, at home and abroal. The farmer who ix respected wherever ie gues is the farmer who respects himself, and realizes that no other calling brings a ian 60 near to nature, or carries with the poten- tislity of an equal degree of independence and happiness.--Orillia Packet.
