2 families!
One family he digs for will live in a unit of a housing project
for which he is excavating the foundation. The other family
is his own - and includes four children. He is a good
"digger" for dollars and his wife manages them well. So
their family expenditures are kept in line with the family
paycheque,
Public works cover a lot of ground. The budget of the
Minister of Public Works at Ottawa is in the millions of
dollars . . . and his department is only one of many.
Money for all departments of government comes through
the Minister of Finance who gets it largely in taxes from
Canadians such as you. When more money is spent than is
collected in taxes, government must borrow from you . . .
or else create new money. The creation of new money is
one factor that leads to inflation . . which means your
dollar buys less and less.
The government has been Spending more than you have
been paying in taxes. To narrow the gap between income
and expenditures, new taxes have been imposed.
The next step should be to reduce expenditures, or at
least hold the line. Undertaking new commitments - adding
new welfare or other services - will only make it that much
more difficult to pay our way. Tell your M.P. at Ottawa that
since you are trying to save, you expect government to do
the same.
You also help when you save more by means of life
insurance, savings deposits, and the purchase of govern-
ment bonds. Your savings help to create a SOUND dollar;
and this, in turn, helps to create job security for you and
more jobi for other Canadians.
A SOUND DOLLAR MEANS
A BETTER LIFE FOR YOU

Across the border, in the deep
south, he mightbe considered an
integration problem, Here in Can-
ada he had found his niche as the
grunt-and-groan brawn of a truck-
ing team. On a particular morn-
ing in late July, when the then,
ammeter seemed eternally stuck
at 90 degrees Fahrenheit, his black
hair stood up like millions of tiny
enamelled steel coils as he heaved
and pushed, shoved and hauled my
latest love, a new electric refrig-
erator,
"It's no use, boss, she just won't
go," he finally confessed, wiping
the sweat from his brow,
When I was in Vancouver this
past summer, on one of the sev-
eral delightful jaunts I made
across Canada by train, I visited
a friend who had just purchased
a new refrigerator. She was en-
thralled by its automatic defrost-
ing equipment and its separate
freezing compartment. I put up
absolutely no resistance to my
mental argument that this cooler
was just the thing for a dedicated
vagabond. I reasoned that I could
confidently leave any such house-
hold blessing for weeks without
a worry in the world that its in-
ternal mechanism would go phoot,
because there was no one around
to befrost the baby.
So what did I do? I bought the
same model from an appliance ag-
ency, sight unseen. Like most wo-
men, I failed to take into consid-
eration that the monster might not
fit into my little pullman kitchen,
or for that matter, even through
the kitchen door, where every inch
had been gained, for more counter
space.
There we were, I on the kitchen
side of the door trying to direct
the operation, the coloured gentle-
man stuck between the door-jamb
and the refrigerator, and on the
other side, straining and cussing in
Hungarian, the boss man. I with-
ered when he looked at me and,
in his broken accent, asked if I
had measured the space where I
expected the refrigerator to fit.
"Yes", I replied in a weak little
voice, but I confessed I hadn't ev-
en thought of the doorway being
too narrow,
These deliverymen don't fool.
The Hungarian picked up the
straps used for 'lifting any such
great weight and banged the door
behind him as he left the house,
Not so the young coloured lad. He
obviously felt sorry that the only
home the refrigerator could find
was the middle of the dining room
floor and started pulling off the
sticky tape that held the doors
shut while the machine was in
transit. "Look lady, if you was to
call the company, they'll send up
a serviceman to take off the door.
Then you can get this here box in-
to your kitchen," he said as he

worked away at installing the drip
tray and unpacking the patent ice-
cube equipment,
It's a good thing I am used to
myself and my reactions to situa-
tions, I never even blanched at the
prospect of removing a partition
to correct the folly, But my family
lives in holy terror that there'll
come a day when mother won't
be able to figure her way out of
a dilemma and she'll probably be
stuck with a horse or cow residing
in the living room.
Fortunately, on my list of rescu-
ers I have a sympathetic Norweg-
ian carpenter who has the patience
and imagination to deliver me out
of these tight spots in which I so
often find myself,
Two weeks later and with $500
less in the bank, I saw the refrig-
erator installed in the kitchen. But
the process was a protracted evolu-
tion from a tiny apartment-type
kitchen to a wonderful country one
with copper pot lids hanging by the
stove, a cookie jar in bold evidence
where my grandchildren and
neighbourhood youngsters can
reach it and a stool to perch on,
where I can peel, for jelly and ap-
ple butter, the apples as they fall
from the trees in our garden. None
of this had been possible in the
little two-by-four kitchenette.
There probably is a, moral to
this story, but I don't know ex-
actly what it is. I have found
that most distressing situations of-
ten"turn out to good advantage. I
either uncover some new type of
human kindness and sympathy,
such as that coloured boy display-
ed, or I learn a lesson in tolerance
which is the chief characteristic of
my carpenter, Certainly any build-
er who can understand my gesticu-
lations as I wave my hands around
and say, "I want a drawer there
for the bread and a shelf over in
that corner for the copper mugs,"
needs a great deal of tolerance.

Huron Farmers At
Shorthorn Sale
Get Top Prices
Top price at the Shorthorn "off
the grass" sale at Singhampton,
$410.00, went to Thomas Webster,
Auburn, for a beautiful two-year-
old heifer kith her 10-day-old-calf.
Other Huron County consignors
were: A. C. Gaunt, Lucknow; Mc-
Kinley Farm & Hatchery, Zurich;
Roy Pepper, Seaforth, and Harold
Pepper, Seaforth.
First of its kind in the province,
this sale was sponsored by the
Ontario Shorthorn. Club and was
organized for dual reasons: first,
to bring together a volume of
strong, sound females to meet the
existing demand, and secondly, to
provide a market for the smaller
breeders. In both respects, the
sale seems to have fufilled its
mission.
On Friday night the patrols (consisting of seven to eight boys)
marched in, had their site assigned,
and set up their tents. Darkness set in swiftly so after the neces-
sary items such as fireplace, frig.,
etc. were built, they turned in,
Rising at 6:30, breakfast was
cooked and eaten and the pots
were cleaned. Gadgets were also
started before flag break at nine,
then the patrols were dismissed to
their campsites where they were
to complete as many gadgets as
possible and prepare dinner.
Dishes were washed up swiftly,
for merit tests were being held
in the afternoon. These •were on
trees and shrubs, signalling, fire-
fighting, first aid, and compass,
This finished around 4.30 p.m.
During the entire day the weath-
er was dismal with occasional
showers, but spirits were not
dampened and camp life was full
of activity. After supper was over,
the Scouts set to improving their
areas and as the weather was not
suitable for a campfire, a mug-up
was held at each site. Not long
after, the boys snuggled down in-
to their sleeping bags for there
was a strong wind and it was very
cold.
A "Scout's Own" church service
was held hi the cook building at
