It appears to be just about time that something was done about it. The Town of Clinton long has been known as a "sucker town" for this sort of thing, and we think it should be stopped, eradicated, and done away with at the earliest poesible date. One nearby municipality — the City of Stratford — is, attempting to find some relief in connection with the problem. Stratford Chamber of •Commerce passed a resolution this week, for presentation to Stratford City Coun- cil, requesting that a licensing and peddlers' bylaw be brought into effect to protect the merchants of that city. The Chamber was told by one of its mem- bers that considerable bitter feelings existed over peddlers coming into Stratford, selling their goods, making a good thing out of it, with, the city not benefitting one iota. He cited the case of magazine sales girls, regard- ing which there had been many complaints. One member said: "We need this type of protection;. these transient traders are robbing our citizens." The Town of Brampton has had similar trouble in the past, but now possesses a bylaw regulating the licensing of peddlers, and from rapid perusal, seems to fill the bill to a nicety. Incidentally, authority for the bylaw flows from The Municipal Act, RSO 1937, Chap- ter 266, and amendments thereto, more par- ticularly section 433. To quote briefly: "No person shall go from place to place CANADA, in the past 12 years, increased the real volume of her over-all annual pro- duction by 90 per 'cent, She expanded here working force by 30 per cent, doubling the proportion of industrial to farm workers. She developed one of the world's strongest cur- rencies. And, "in the 'most striking feature of the growth pattern," she invested her new capital in new industries, processes and re- sources. This sums up the main positive points made by the Bank of Montreal's Business Re- view, devoted this month to discussion of a special supplement, a 12-year table of Canada's economic trends. On the negative side, the report emphasizes that one basic resource, population, remains in short supply; that the country depends heavily on a few leading ex- ports to increasingly concentrated markets; and that danger of further inflation continues. Noting at the, outset that Canada's eco- nomic future has lately occasioned '‘profuse comment," much of it radiating unrestrained optimism, the B, of 1VI proposes "an attempt at a balanced appraisal of Canada's position and prospects as seen from the inside.' The market value of Canadian output in 1951, at $21,217 millions, was nearly four times as large as in 1939, the bank points out, but, much of this reflected a doubling of the price level. Yet, after eliminating the price factor, the volume of the nation's annual product has grown. by 90 per cent during the 12-year period.. Needs Many more People 'Most of this real gain represents a greater output per employed person since the working force was only 30 per cent larger in 1951 than in 1939. "Indeed, the relatively moderate rise of the working force serves to emphasize the fact that in one of its basic resources—popula- tion—Canada is far from adequately supplied." The bank says that "The most striking feature of the growth pattern has been the ACCOUNTANCY ROY N. BENTLEY,. Licensed Public Accountant 15 Warren St., Goderich, Ont.

The NEWS-RECORD would like ,to com- mend Clinton and District Chamber of Com- merce and the Town Council for their efforts in attempting to solve this serious problem that literally is "robbing" local citizens. We are of the opinion that the present bylaw might be strengthened considerably increasing the amount of the license fee—it is only $2 at present, so that it might act as a 'more effective deterrent. extent of new capital investment both during the war and in• the post-war period." Some of this was to be explained by the low in- vestment of the depression and wartime post- ponement of housing and public works. "But the three dynamics of expansion have been new industries, new processes and new resources." After reviewing the dramatic growth of Canada's metal, automotive, oil, pulp and paper and chemical industries, the B of M notes that rapid industrialization changed the ratio of industrial workers to farmers from one to one in 1939 to more than two to one last year. But, although farm employment has fallen by one quarter, agricultural °Input has increased. Canadian Dollar Comes Of Age Commenting upon Canada's discovery and development of important new resources, the review points out that this attracted enough foreign capital to finance a deficit in external trade and build exchange reserves. In con- sequence, the Canadian dollar was set free to find its own level last September, and "it is now one of the strongest of currencies." However, "the country's dependence on ex- port markets has changed little with the pas- sing years," the bank states.` "Furthermore, the over-riding importance of a few main com- modities continues." To this concentration in export lines must be added an increased con- centration of markets. The United States re- ceived 59 per cent of Canada's exports in 1951, while the United Kingdom's share was only 16 per' cent, a sharp fall from the 40 per cent it took in preewar days. Both export and import prices have acted as inflationary pressures in Canada, the B of M remarks. But much of her inflation has been "home-brewed." It resulted from the wartime increase in the money supply, the high level of capital outlays in relation to the vol- ume of available saving, and official "easy- money" policy maintained until late 1950.

According to statistics, an aver- age of 13 pigs per farm, in Huron were sold each year for the past four years. The sale of these 13 pigs averaged $300.

He had never expected to be able to do a day's work, let' alone walk upright. Today he has, an office job, is self-sup- porting, and he can get about re- markably well on crutches and with braces. He is one of the 52 lads who have been assisted in the two and a half years that Variety Village has been operating. Established by the Variety Club, whose mem- bers are chiefly showmen or in the entertainment field, the mod- ern scirOol, which has no equal in Ontario, was established 'for the sole purpose., of helping handi- capped youths. Twenty-seven are presentin enrolled from Toronto and other cities, towns and vil- lages in the province. Three are city day pupils and the rest are in residence. Of the 27, nine are victims of polio and are wheel chair pa- tients. Another nine are afflict- ed with cerebral palsy. Three are paraplegics and six suffer from other types of deformities. Under the principalship of Bill Bennett, a former Leaside High School teacher, the school is ad- ministered for Variety Club by the Ontario Society for Crippled Children which is appealing for $400,000 in its Easter Seal cam- paign. Every seal you buy will bring new hope to cases that have been classed as hopeless. Of the 52 who enrolled since the school.' opened, at least 38 have left with a useful career assured for them and with a vastly different outlook on life. They learned some trade or cc- typewriting and metal or wood work as well as industrial art. They also acquired some useful hobbies such as leathercraft,. sil- versmithing and photography. For the .first time In their lives they went to school as other boys do and again for the first time they attended swim classes and joined in rifle practise at the Long Branch ranges and in study groups at the Royal Ontario Museum. Within the past year, two Var- iety Village graduates obtained positions in the same business of- fice. The school, understand, does more than educate and instruct. The Society appeals to interested service clubs to find work for the boys in return for its task of administration. One graduate was so anxious to get ahead, he enrolled in a night school and then called on Principal Bennett for a $20 loan, of which $5 was for fees and $15 for books. Mr. Bennett knew the lad had money in the bank and he asked him, "Why the touch?" The lad replied, "Be- cause I was told at your school never to take my money out of the bank but always to put it in." He got the loan and he paid it back as agreed with interest.
