FARM VOICES BEING HEARD mm a system t.he sacrifice involved does not fall on him alone. -:- •:- •:- A GREAT VICTORY Canada it at last being forced to apply itself to the immediate prob- lems of the farmer, as forecast by this newspaper recently. The urgent need to maintain necessary shipments of bacon and hams and cheese to Great Britain, combined with many indications that the Canadian farm- ing industry is facing obstacles on the way to meet this objective is re- sponsible for a projected conference of Government Department heads and representatives of farmery at An early date. The decisioji of the War Time Prices and Trade Board to fix a max- imum price for butter has been one factor in bringing the situation to u liead. Following the announcement from this Board there has been an avalanche of protest, particularly in Ontario. Premier Hepburn, the Hon. H. C. Nixon, and the Hon. P. N. Dewan, Minister of Agriculture, have all taken a definite stand in condemn- J^ng.the price-pegging proposals from "OtUwa. There habe been preliminary nego- tiations between representatives of the agricultural departments at Ot- tawa and Queen's Park and out of this it is reported, there may be ar- ranged a general meeting to be attended by all parties concerned, probably at London, Ont. None can xafely hazard a guess as to the outcome of such a meeting. There are many in Ontario who claim that the price-pegging decision is un- fair, because of the price of feed remains uncontrolled. In one quarter there is said that the shortage of feed in Ontario is acute; elsewhere this denied. We have a hint that in case the report of a shortage is verified, Ottawa authorities may take steps to transfer quantities of the commodity from the prairie provin- ces to Ontario. But no matter what the real situ- ation is, friends of agriculture in Ontario can take much satisfaction from the knowledge that at least there is to be a round-table discus- sion of the whole situation, out of which there should arise a new un- derstanding between the farming communities and official Ottawa. The problem does not seem to be one of setting up conditins under which farmers may make a lot f money out of the war. Rather it is a case of planning so that the farm- er does not lose money and the farm- ing industry is not undermined. When farmers and departmental heads together, many of the latter will learn anew the fact that the farmer takes second place to aione as a loyal citizen of the coun- try. He is not subject to emotions arising out of mass appeals, as arc some industrial workers. In most cases he works alone and has to do his own thinking. If price control of his products i.s found to be absolutely necessary to protect the uninterrupted flow of cheese and bacon <tcross the Atlantic, the farmer will not object. But he will reasonably ask that under such The victory ot British arms and of those of Australia and New Zealand in particular, in the capture of the Italian fortified town of Bardia in North Africa, has been received in Canada with quiet jubilation. We realize that it was a great victory, but a victory over the Italian armies is realized to be easier than that over the German armies. There is a long road ahead that we must face with- out fear that the outcome of the battle will be in favor of our Empire. There will be many dark days ahead for us, an in th« past six months, when victory cannot be foreseen, but the dark clouds will turn to silver and the sun will again shine in our favor. Keep a steadfast face toward the foe, work and save for the final ^reat assault when British arms will conquer these foes of Christianity and the earth is free from barbar- ism for all time. The victory at Bardia and the con- tinuing offensive against the Italians in North Africa and the splendid offensive of the Greeks in Albania against the same invaders, has added to British prestige throughout the Eastern world and will have a tend- ency to rally faint hearts to the side of Britain in their fight for exist- ence. It appears now as though the German, massing in Moumania, will over-run Bulgaria and be in a posi- tioa to strike a blow at Greece and relieve the pressure against Italy. The next few days will be momentous ones in the history of Greece. SWINTON PARK (Intended for Last Week) A Happy New Year to a'' Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Haw spent the Christmas week with Toronto friends.

CHEVROLET GENERAL M010RS%/CAR Again Takes First Place In Motor Car Salbs IN EVERY PROVINCE OF THE DOMINION YOU have awarded Chevrolet- General Motors' No. 1 Garâ€" the coveted honor of being No. 1 car in popular demand in 1940. For years youGanadian motor- ists have purchased more Ghev> rolets than any other make of automobile, regardless of type, size or price. You did it again in die year just closed â€" most em- phatically, in every province in Ganada. We want to thank you for your mark of high favor and for your confidence. You place on us a definite responsibility to continue to give motor car leadership â€" and we accept that responsibility. Since you rate Ghevrolet first in value, we are under the obligation to keep it first in value. We consider that there is an entirely new call this year upon Chevrolet quality and depend- ability because Ghevrolet is an essential part of Canada's war effort. To fill its place in the transportation program of a nation at work to win the war, Chevrolet must be built to an â-  effective and enduring standard. These are the reasons why we have redoubled our effort to widen and increase Chevrolet value leadership in our new cars for '41. If you will examine the CHEVROLET for 41 new Ghevrolet carefully, you will agree we have succeeded. You will find, for example, that Chev- rolet alone among the low-priced cars includes as standard equip- ment certain quality features which a buyer would be wise, under present circumstances, to insist upon. You will find that Ghevrolet with its thrilling new bigness is styled ahead for your protection. It is worth money to you to know that Chevrolet is the only low-priced car providing, at no extra cost, original Vacuum- Power Shift which makes geai^ shifting 80% automatic and re- quires only 20% driver effort; genuine Unitized Knee-Action which absorbs road shocks and prevents pitching and tossing; a body by Fisher of the same design and quality featured on higher-priced cars; and Con- cealed Safety Steps which pre- vent the accumulation of ice and snow and are the mark of truly advanced styling. We invite you to take full advantage of the value you have helped, by your buying prefer^ ence, to create. Won't you please visit our showrooms and thoroughly inspect General Motors' No. 1 car â€" and Canada's No. 1 oarâ€" today! » I'^'-it --^ YEARS AHEAD FOR YEARS 10 COME iiiiMnf D.
