The recent sale of surplus Can- adian butter to a-foreign country in excited sell-righteous indignat- W, on the part of a few news- papers. organizations and individ- uals who have been contributing hi the rate of 2.9 cents Per 5'98!" in finance the butter support pro- gramme - a programme whicn is ,1 the present time the keystone which prevents the agricultural ynof collapsing on the farm owner.
The undeniable and uncomfort- able fact of the situation is that the farmer is being paid less and legs for his labour while other sections of the econom, are gener- ally receiving more in real west! and in some instances, cheaper food as the frosting on the cake. Common justice and common sense would both suggest (I'll! the time has arrived when the general tax payer must ecept the fact that agriculture is the exploited party and not the consumers and their organization which indulges in pious platitudes over who or who is not being sold down the river.
ESCAPE CLAUSE
The nations entering into the general agreement on trades and tariffs iGATT) agreed to grant one another under the stipulated terms and conditions certain confessli Embodied in the agreement were certain escape clauses which were designed to provide protection in certain circumstances. For instance one escape clause permits a mem- bcr of GATT to impose restrictions on imports of agricultural or fish- eries products if it is carrying out a general governmental program to reduce production or marketing. For example. if the Federal govern- ment in order to deal with a bur- dt-nsome surplus effectively re- duced the production of potatoes through acreage control by say 30 per cent. it could reduce imports by the same percentage in relation
to a representative period. This:
Escape clause does not provide for a complete embargo. Its purpose is to make a crop reduction pro- gram workable.
WOMEN ON THE FARM
The belief is general. and primer- Iv so too. that farming is a -.imr-
ned man's business. There is per ,
haps no more disheartening and discouraging prospect than that of the farmer-bachelor attempting on the one had to carry out the pur-
suits of husbandry and on the nthcr i

may be lord of all he surveys hut .

These ahortcoursea will take place on December is and 14 at 8 p.m. each evteningnl the Sher- brooke Hell.

COMMUNITY CLINICS
Farm Forum with the assistance of various officers of the Deport- ment of Education and Agriculture has organized for five different cen- ters community clinics for the ex- amination ol the rural community and its condition of health.
These clinics differ in their ap- proach from the time honoured method of inflicting on the nud- ience a variety of speakers and speeches by attempting a meet- ing which involves those present in active participation in the pro- gramme
UNITED OR DIVIDED
i Nearly everyone agrees on the, importance of united action by the usually small population in a Tllflll community and yet some of the most worthy activities and organ- ization have the effect of dividing the rural people. Adherence to dif- ferent churches divide the common ity as do a variety of fraternal organizations, not to mention pol- ilical parties. A valued possession in any rural community is a group which cuts across political. relig- ions. and social lines and embraces both men and women. The rural community is too smell a place to be split up in factions which have no common bond to cement them together
