Utopia, like every other city and state, has to be built, and who is to build it except us? This applies to the Artificial Ice Campaign currently being sponsored by the Clinton Lions Club. To, have artificial ice in Clinton , is not a fantastic figment of the imagination, as some would have us believe, but is a pro- jeet that is real and within our grasp. We look et the towns in our vicinity and say that Clinton should have artificial ice as they have. The Lions Club is giving the peo- ple of Clinton and district this opportunity- they are the spearhead, the group that have got the ball rolling. Let every resident who has an ounce of civic pride_ get behind this worthy project and, do everything in his or her power to bring it to a successful con elusion. Building means work, and whatever Utopia we reach will be built by ourselves. We are weak only when we do nothing. Let us prove that Clinton is strong, and when win- ter arrives we too will have an artificial ice arena. Saving Is IN TERMS of "constant dollars", which is just the economist's way of saying dollars with the same purchasing power today as they had, ten or twenty years ago, Canadians are investing less today than they did in the pre- depression years 1928-29. Average per capita investment in terms of "constant dollars" in 1928-29 was well over $137, while today it is less than $128, according to the monthly commercial letter of the Canadian Bank of Commerce. If Canadian living standards are to be maintained at the rate of increase recorded over the bast twenty-five years, the bank let- ter points out, and the increased demands of a langer population are to be met, an invest- merit of 20 per cent of the proceeds of our Essential total productive effort will be required each year. This would mean a sharply stepped-up rate of corporate and personal saving. No such increase in people's saving habits is to be anticipated so ., long as taxation and high living costs make it virtually impossible for most folk to do more than balance the family budget. Nor will corporate savings and 'investment be likely to increase so long as more than 50 per cent of business and in- dustrial profits go to Ottawa in taxes. No greater paradox, surely, is to be imag- ined than that the demand for heavy welfare expenditures should result in maintaining a level of taxation which, if continued much long- er, could undermine the prosperity Canadians now enjoy by making savings impossible and halting our productive expansion. • There has been a continual carnival air about the back shop lately. When I was a youngster I remember dihtinctly that this miscellany of paper, printed and plain, in strip, sheet and confetti styles, descended about our ears only on Thursday of each week, and if- we were not exceedingly quick about it indeed, we were apt to miss the pleasures of a quick game of hide-and-seek through and over it: But you must let me ex- plain that my name is Peter. I was christened that by my parents, because of an un- controllably inquisitive nose,. which twitches somewhat at times, when on the trail of something interesting, like that of the cottontail of hit- song fame "-Peter Cotton- tail, hopping down the bunny trail". But aside from that unavoidable feature, there is no other part of me that could be that of an escapee from a fur coat factory. I'm a per- fectly normal sized, and shap- ed rodent (L. rodens-ro- dentis) of the order Rodentia. And my home is sometimes here and sometimes there, but always near the back shop of The CLINTON NEWS-RECORD office. I'm glad to let myself be known now that Pandora, that furtive eyed Persian-and Cleo- patra, that sleek, blackfaced Siamese-haVe been transferred from the upstairs apartment. I didn't mind the People who liv- ed there-a mouse can escape People - but Cats! Oh me, Oh my! Well anyhow, now you know me, I hope to pay • Thursday visits to you for a while-that is, unless new People move in with some more-I hate to even mention the word-Cats! To return to -the ticker tape atmosphere we've been epjoying, there's a young fellow who's been in the front shop for the last week or so who's mighty handy with a broom. It's, gotten so a mouse can hardly find so much as a square inch of paper to hide behind. Except on Thursdays, of course. a -44-4-4-4-4-641-44-4-44-4-64-4-4. 64-0-4-4 GODERICH TOWNSHIP 4-6+ 4,4744-4-4-4-4-4-64-4-644-4-6 Mrs. George Mitchell and Mrs. Hartmann, Thornbury, visited last Friday with Mrs. Fred Middleton.

The local band defeated even the piccolo band which Stratford-on-Avon entered in the contests. Macademizing of Clinton's streets has brought a problem to the attention of citizens. Should the crosswalks at the main cor- ner be torn up or left as is? Opinion is that especially the long 'one reaching from the Morrish corner to the Normandie block should remain for the bene- fit of pedestrians on wet or sloppy days. A fire on 12th of July at the residence of Reeve Cantelon was discovered by Miss Dorothy Cant- elon, and help was immediately called. The house suffered some damage to furnishings and con- struction.* Mrs. Cantelon made a successful jump from an upstairs window into an outstretched blanket, and received little in- jury. Orange celebrations were held at Blyth this year. Mrs, A. T. Cooper has been in Kincardine, her• old home town, visiting and attending the re- union of old boys' and girls.

Porterfield, Owen Sound, spent the weekend with his sist- er, Mrs. James Rapson. 1/..•••=.0,1 The Clinton New Era Thursday, July 19, 1912 Four rinks from St. Matthew's Bowling Club, Toronto, visited here Wednesday afternoon.

Price stability depends on many things, but principally upon the relationship between wages and production. If wages go up without a corresponding rise in the volume of man-hour production, then prices are bound Jo go up too. So it is really up to the Canadian people whether or not we have stable prices. I If we Canadians want the cost of living to stabilize then we must see that man-hour production keeps pace with wages, Published as a Public Service by THE STEEL COMPANY OF CANADA, LIMITED Plants at HAMILTON - BRANTfORD SWANSV%.
