Rural Amenities

'l'he importance of agriculture in our economy nas never been more obvious than at the present time, when food is recognized as a veritable munition of war. Emphasizing this point, the Royal Bank monthly letter notes that at the recent International Food Conference held in Hot Springs, Virginia, methods were diSCHSSfll of ensuring an adequate supply 0f food f0!’ all in the post-war world; yet in every industraliz- ed country in the world the trend during the last fifty years has been away from the farms. Thc percentage of population in rural areas has de- creased steadily. Whereas in Canada at the be- ginning of the century 63.5 per cent of the ‘total population was engaged in agriculture or living on farms, in the census of 194i this percentage had declined to 45 per cent. A number of fac- tors have contributed to this change, including greater efficiency and mechanization of agri- culture which enables a smaller number of per- sons to produce the same or even a greater agri- cultural output. The attractions of higher wages in industrial pursuits and the severe agricul- tural depression of the '30's were also pafllall." responsible for this exodus but the importance of actual living conditions on the farms has not always been given due weight. The standard of convenience in rural communities m Can- ada, as in other countries, is considerable below that of the rest of the population. _

There is scope here for post-war planning on fie part of all the agricultural provinces in con- junction with the Dominion Government. A number of tentative programmes already mcor- porate features that would improve living con- ditions on the farm. The Manitoba plan for "rural electrification, for example, would add to the amenities of farm life as well as to the ef- ficiency of agriculture. “Could not some other plsns," suggests the news letter “be expanded to incorporate features that would provide neces- esry arneloriation in the conditions under which so many inhabitants of our rural areas _ live? Ins-sly it is not beyond the skill of the engineers who are planning for such work as the power ind irrigation projects on the Saskatchewan River to extend their plans to include the pro- vision of running water and other modern con- vsnisn es in rural homes in the adjacent areas of the Prairie Provinces. It has been suggested that the washing and sanitary equipment now in use in Canadian war factories should be sold abroad sfter the war. Perhaps it could find In equally valuable use nearer home." _

Better transportation will only be obtained through better representation of our interests at Ottawa. One instance of this fact would make it Ittikingly apparent. Two full years after the sinking of the "Charlotte- town" we are still waiting for the plans to be completed for another steamer; after which, we are told, we shall have to wait another two or three years before the boat is completed.

A one-day conference on wartime public rela- tions problems, sponsored by the Illinois Manu- facturers Association, and attended by nearly 500 public relations officials, was held recently in Chicago. Editor and Publisher reports that newspapers were hailed at the conference as es- sential to any company's public relations pro- gramme. The confidence of the press was des- cribed as “a precious asset to any enterprise and we must guide ourselves in such a way as to earn and hold that confidence."

Speaking from the standpoint of management Whipple Jacobs, president of Belden Manufac- turing Company, declared the interests of busi- ness are identical with those of a free press. “A free press is a powerful bulwark of the free enterprise system," he said. "Once you abridge the freedom of the press-the freedom to critic- ize and to take issue on any and all questions— our entire system of free enterprise will be on the downhill road to complete regimentation.”

He advocated that paid advertising should be continued during the war, even though the manufacturer has nothing to sell the public. He Warned. lwwfiver. against the backfire of over- advertrsing--describing the latter as the kind of advertising that consists mainly of bragging about the company's war effort.

Three hundred million trees, from one-year-old seedlings to three nnd four-year transplants, are ready in the great nurseries of the forestry commission for creatlnz new woods thoughout Britain in the years af- ber the war. An official of the for- estry commission said that whereas before the 75,000,000 youns W895 were 131% each year for afforesa- tion and reforestation purposes it. will be necessary in future to raise many more. He revealed that plans to give the nation a. total acres of forests and woods of 5.000.000 acres are being considered. There are in the country 16.000900 acres of rough and waste land. None of it is use- ful for agricultural purposes, and

fighter-planes are tirade in greatly-dispersed fac- tories in the Buffalo area. The planes that the visitors saw were the P—39, or Airacobra fighter, built by Bell Aircraft Cor-, poration, and three models built by Curtiss- Wright Corporation, the P—40 Warhawk, the P-47 Thunderbolt, and the giant C-46 Com- hiando. None of these is a factor in the great air offensive waged on Germany st present. That is a job for the big bombers, such as the British Lancaster or the Boeing Flying Fortress. But the planes seen in production in Buffalo pro- vidccl a graphic revelation of the sources of Am- erican air power, in a war being determined in its shape and possibly in its final outcome, by stocks are held in the Maritime Province; and sir power.
