He served the farmers of the county as Federation of Agriculture sec- retary - treasurer for several years and was quite active in the promotion and organization of Co-Op Insurance. But perhaps his greatest achievement outside his home and family was the success of the Community Credit Union which set some Canadian rec- ords in growth and initiative. He will be long remembered by a great many friends for various reasons, but I think most will remember him as a man who devoted a great part of his life and energy to giv- ing the ordinaiy people a ch- ance to help themselves. The Credit Union was a fine example of • this and as Vic said to me several years ago, "Money is the most profitable commodity in which to deal so why shouldn't the average 'per- son have this opportunity?" The Credit Union provided the opportunity. And now to pass on to a few ideas on money that have been flitting through my mind for some time. I wonder how many of us , look on money as a "commod- ity"? We think of a suit of clothes, a can of peas, a roast of beef, a pig or a new car as a commodity but — money. Haven't we given it a sort of glorified status far superior to these mundane items? Then add to this the state- PORTER'S HILL MRS.

The next meet- ing will be held at the home of Mrs. Grace Mathers. ALUMINUM WINDOWS ALUMINUM DOORS ALUMINUM AWNINGS RUSSELL L. JERVIS' CG•NIAMERCILAL RESIDIRNITIANI.

If we apply this to agricul- ture our two percent inflation- ary program in milk production should make us prosperous but somehow this two percent milk is surplus and certainly doesn't mean prosperity to the dairy farmer. What is the difference? I guess the answer is simple. There is never a surplus of money. But why? Apparently price inflation sets in to ab- sorb the surplus dollars that would otherwise accumulate as production of product in- creased. But has this price inflation stopped there? I think not. Not only has price inflation increased to take care of sur- plus money but it is increas- ing to the point ,where it is taking care of all available credit. Most of us think money is scarce but in recent months I have come to the realization that there is lots of money. Do you want $10.00 or a -mil- lion? If you have the collateral you name it, you can have the cash. Even if you haven't too much security to offer, huge sums are available at a little higher interest if the proposition is reasonably sound. What has this to do with prices? Let us suppose a farmer has saved $1,000 to purchase a new tractor. If the tractor price is $1,000 the farmer pays cash and the deal is finished. Let us suppose that another man has $1,000 but he doesn't want to buy anything so the $1,000 sits in the china teapot on the top of the cupboard, Now let us up the price of the tractor to $2,000. The far- mer must then borrow $1,000 and immediately the $1,000 comes out of the teapot and goes to work for the owner at $60 per year. Remember the little Jewish boy who remarked that the man who invented interest was no slouch? Money is worthless unless it is working. We pride ourselves in our ability to work our farms to make our livestock produce, and our hens lay eggs. Men who deal in money are just as capable and efficient in working their money. In fact I think maybe they have proved even more resour- ceful and we farmers would do well to take a little of our money out of farm production and put it to work for us in the fields that have proven at- tractive to men of wealth. This would seem to be par- ticularly good advice if this money were invested in the selling of our products. Severe Damage. milts From Goderich Blaze GODERICH—Fire early last Wednesday morning caused an estimated $15,000 damage to the offices and warehouse of a Texaco Canada Ltd. bulk sta- tion, situated in the east end of Goderich, Firemen from the Goderich volunteer fire department re- ceived the alarm about 2 a.m. and battled the fire for about four hours in sub-zero weather. Fire Chief J. J, Hoggarth, said fire equipment was frozen. No one was injured either by the fire or the cold. Chief Hoggarth said the blaze was apparently caused by a faulty electric heater, Al Chapman of Hamilton, a driver for the British American Oil Co. Ltd„ which has its bulk station situated nearby, spotted the fire and turned in alarm. Situated near the blaze were storage tanks of both compan- ies, which C. V. Walden, distri- butor for Texaco, estimated contained about 60,000 gallons of gasoline, furnace fuel, stove oil and diesel fuel, but the tanks were not threatened.
