From the Seaforth Lawn Bowling
Club
(Short, Sweet and to the Point)
(Contributed by Bowler)
News is very short indeed this
week, since old man weather ham-
pered activities of club members
to no end during the last few days.
Even our travelling bowlers did
not venture beyond the limits of
our fair town, with the exception
of James MacDonald and Ken Wil-
lis, who journeyed to Teeswater,
and as is the custom of our trav-
elling ambassadors of good will,
they returned with the usual three
losses. Ken reports two of the
games were very close, with only
one point separating thein from
the winners.
Not many out for Doc's Pot of
Gold tournament Tuesday evening,
but we are sure that many more
will turn out when things warm up.
At time of goipg tp press, only
10 entries have been received so
far for the annual Westinghouse
tournament, in spite of the fact
that over 130 notices have been
mailed. We sure hope that there
are many entries who have adopt-
ed the wait-and-see attitude.

TO THE EDITOR
FORMER-: RESIDENT NOW IN 'U.S.
PROUD OF. CANADIAN BACKGROUND
Baltimore, Maryland,
June 28, 1960.
Editor, The Huron Expositor:
Attached is an article .cut from
last week's Saturday Evening Post
in which I thought you might be
interested. It is - such things as
these that make one proud that he
has been born a Canadian, and it
is because of these things that it
is made so much easier for those
of us transplanted Canadians to be
so Well accepted in countries where-
in we choose to make our living.
I sincerely hope that the basic in-
gredients of the Canadian way of
life never change.
JOE' SILLS
The article to which Mr. Sills
refers appeared in a recent issue
of the Saturday Evening Post, en-
titled,' "If Canada is Really 'Old -
Fashioned' Her Way of Life is En-
viably Pleasant," it is by Carol
Spicer. •
We like Canada, We like its sta-
bality, its good manners, its lack
of pretense. We recently spent a
weekend with some Canadian
friends whom we met at a resort
on the shore of Lake Huron near
Kincardine. The Cunninghams Iive
in an unashamedly old house. Not
a ranch house in sight, The Cun-
ningham's house has eleven -foot
ceilings and wallpaper that has
dark spots' in places from some
leaks in the walls, and masses of
books and comfortable chairs,
drafts, a fireplace and tables
round about for 'afternoon tea.
What we liked *about the leaks
was that nobody mentioned them.
No apologies for the blot on the
general perfection. Material things
ire Canada don't get in the way.
We, like the Canadians' love. of
the out of doors, their ability to
walk. The Cunningham children,
walk a mile to school and walk
home to lunch. And over the many
summers spent at Kincardine we
came to know that when we want-
ed a walking companion, we could
always count on a Canadian friend.
And can they skate, these Cana-
dians! The one object that looms
like a national flag in every little
town, from New Brunswick to Sas-
katchewan, is the ice -hockey rink
in the schoolyard. Curling is an-
other national pastime, as is bowl-
ing on the green. If you have nev-

NEI'HERY REUNION
The fifteenth 'Nethery reunion,
held at Community Park, Londes-
boro, on Saturday proved to be a
successful affair, with a splendid
attendance. Members of the elan
were present • from Vancouver,
Niagara Falls, Toronto, Hamilton,
Tillsonburg, Goderich, Wingham,
Blyth, and many other places. Dur-
ing the afternoon games and races
were enjoyed by both childrenand
adults alike. These Were s lendidly
handled by Abner Nethery of
Wingham.
After a bon tiful supper had
been enjoyed br all, Albert Neth-
teous way they spoke to us and
fell apart to let us pass, we knew
which country they came from.
Canadian children are tought def-
erence to older people. Canada has
many such quaint foreign customs.
Canada is a "backard" country
—one hears that sometimes. It is
true, Canada hasn't produced a
River Rouge or a Hollywood, but
people do come from all over the
States to its Stratford Shakespeare
Festival; the Toronto Symphony
ranks with our best orchestras;
and Lester Pearson was picked
from a globeful of contestants a
few years ago for the Nobel Peace
Prize.
Ontario Canadians also have
some odd ideas about school. On-
tario youngsters %yho plant to go to
college must take five -years of
high school after,the eighth grade.
The nineteen -year-olds enter coI-
lege then with a substantia'lack-
ground of Latin, a "live" language
and science. Ontario children don't
go to college for the social whirl.
And where but in Canada would
you find that man with the rosy
outdoors complexion, the little red-
dish -brown mustache, the quick-
ness of movement, the friendly,
forthright manners, the "aboat"
for ` about," the serviettes and
running shoes and strong black
tea? All stanchly, happily Cana-
dian."
Two ladies who hadn't seen each
other for some time' met one day
on the street.
"Oh, Jane," said Maggie excited
ly, "a lot has happened to me
since I saw y.ou last. I've had all
my teeth out and an electric stove
and a refrigerator put in."

Multi -Branch System
Is Aid Wher Funds Short
MONTEBELLO,- Que. — When
funds are Iiinited, and -the demand
for them great, no system could
do a better job of ensuring their
fair and equitable distribution than
the multi -branch system of the
chartered banks of Canada, H. W.
Thomson, president of The Cana-
dian Bankers' Association, said
here,
Addressing the Association's an-
nual meeting, Mr. Thomson said
few thinking Canadians held the
ehaetered banks responsible for so-
called "tight money". Most people
knew, he thought, that the Bank
of Canada controls the money sup-
ply which governs the banks' lend-
ing power, and many were aware
that the money supply had been
held more or less constant since
the fall of 1l58.
Mr. Thomson added: "Recogniz-
ing the immense administrative
difficulty inherent in a fair and
equitable distribution of a limited
amount of credit over a vast num-
ber of claimants, we feel that no
device could cope with the diffi-
culties so well as the Canadian
multi -branch banking system; and
in iaddition,that'no other system
could produce a better distribution
amongst the various competing
physical regions of the country."
The number of loans on the books
of the chartered banks today, he
said, was the equivalent of one for
every fotirth family in Canada.
SALVATION ARMY INAUGURATES
NEW CAMP ON LAKE HURON
"Camp Glenhuron," a project of
the Salvation Army for the West-
ern Ontario Division, was official-
ly opened and dedicated Saturday
by Stewart Pierce, vice-president
of the Forest City Kiwanis Club.
The camp is located on Highway
21, 23•<2 miles north of Bayfield.
Dedicatory prayer was given by
Lt. Col. Alfred Keith, of London,
and greetings extended by council-
lor Adam Flowers, of 13ayfield.
The opening was attended by
300 Scouts, Guides, Cubs and
Brownies, along with 400 adults.
Delegates attended from Wind-
sor, Essex and London in the
South to Owen Sound in the north.
Official opening of the Kiwanis
hospital building, erected through
the Forest City Kiwanis Club, was
made by secretary Mark Traffers
and the dedicatory prayer by Ce-
cil Stickland, of London.
The camp opening took the form
of a field day with Scouts, Guides,
Club and Brownie units compet-
ing. Canip director is Brigadier
Stanley Jackson, of London. Salute
and divine service was by the ter-
ritorial commander Commissioner
W. Wycliffe Booth,
Opening of the new camp coin-
cided with the 95th anniversary of
the Salvation Army. Brigadier John
Nelson, of London, said "Camp
Glenhuron" will play host to sev-
eral camps this summer for
Guides, Scouts, mixed camps, in-
cluding children from the Chil-
dren's Village at London.
•
More than a quarter of the dollars
loaned was to individuals and
farmers, he said, and in numbers
such loans represented 86 percent
of all bank loans in the country.
Aid Small Customer
It was his hope that "most peo-
ple now feel that the small and
medium-sized customer gets fair
treatment from the banks." Cer-
tainly it was in the banks' own in-
terests, apart from anything else,
to see that they did, he said, be-
cause after all the small customer
today was tomorrow's, Large cus-
tomer.
"And," Mr. Thomson added,
"many too would realize the dan-
gers in denying credit to today's
Large customers, for each large
borrower passes on its borrowings
to a host of small sub -contractors
and suppliers in ever -widening cir-
cles."
Mr. Thomas commented that
while there had been little change
in the money supply in the last 20
months, volume of business had in-
creased perhaps as much as 19
percent. The only possible deduc-
tion was that "the money supply
has been used more frequently, o± -
in the words of the economist, the
velocity of circulation has increas-
ed."
"How much farther it is possible
to operate an expanding economy
on a fixed supply of money and
without too much creaking of the
machinery is one of the big ques-
tions to which we do not know the
answer," he said.
Mr. Thomson said that while the
recent decline in short-term intr-
est rates ;night lead to an'increase
in demand for loans, it did not
necessarily indicate a material
change in the availability of credit.
Bank of Canada is Key
"Whereas some additional re-
sources are available for borrow-
ing," he said, "the chartered banks
are in no position to allow total
loans to return to the uncomfort-
able level of last summer, much
less to any higher level. Resources
of such magnitude will not be avail-
able until the Bank of Canada 'sees
fit to increase the money supply,"
Mr. Thomson urged Constant vig-
ilance against the threat of infla-
tion. "Though the tools of mone-
tary and fiscal management may
be technically adequate to produce
reasonably full employment with
growth of our economic resources
and a stable unit of Currency," he
said, "it is certainly safe to say
that these ends will not all be
achieved together without enlight-
ened effort and the best unselfish
intentions from all of the elements
of our econoniic life."
He said persistent growth in to-
tal national expenditure "is one of
the strong long-term inflationary
factors in our financial system-"
The fact that 1960-61 federal bud-
get showed a small surplus was
reassuring news, Mr. Thomson
Aonceded, "but I am concerned,
nd I think most Canadians should
be concerned, that the balance has
been achieved, not by reducing ex-
penditure but simply through
growth of income."
t"Though fiscal control of the
business cycle is 3^upposed to in-
crease government expenditure in
recessions and decrease expendi-
ture in boom times," he remark-
ed, "it seems that all we ever
have are increases, maybe lesser
increases, but still increases."
Keep Dollar Free
Mr. Thomson referred to the con-
troversy surrounding the position
of the Canadian dollar relative to
the other currencies. "We should
be careful," he advised, "not to
attempt by artificial or regulatory
means to control the price of the
Canadian dollar in world markets.
A foreign investor who has invest-
ed his capital here in a free mar-
ket should have assurance that
when the need to take the capital
home arises, he can do so through
the medium of a free market."
Mr. Thomson said in a growing
country sudh as Canada "saving
should be expanded even beyond
the present .high level."
"Canadians," he /continued,
"should be prepared to' finance a
larger proportion of Capital works
from within their own financial re-
sources. It is important for all to
realize that the day when a few
wealthy men could undertake a
great part of the needed personal
saving of the nation is past. Let
us then as a people try to regain
some of the careful, frugal and
thrifty attitudes of the pioneers,"
Mr. Thomson said that "a most
important occurrence" in recent
months has been the increase .in
interest and understanding on .the
part of the pnblie in the finan0124
