A loan may be needed for one or more reasons—to lay in a supply of raw materials, to buy new equipment, to meet a payroll, or to cover other costs until the firm receives payment for its products or services. With bank credit, companies large and small can take on projects they couldn't handle if they had to depend on their own financial resources. More- over, the chartered banks have steadily widened the scope of their commercial lending to serve new or expanded short-term needs, Every day, local bank managers are lending to producers, manufac- turers, farmers, retailers and others, to help them develop opportunities, meet competition, keep men and Machines busy. Commercial loans 'are one of many' ssential services your local bank provides, to the benefit of everyone in the community. THE CHARTERED BANKS SERVING YOUR.

Burt In OMHA play offs in the past two, weeks the Lucan pee wee and midget teams were both eliminated from further com- petition by Belmont. The pee wees went down to the tune of 18-4 two game total goals. The midgets succumbed by a total score of 15-5. Now we have the bantams to go. They start Wed. Feb 19 and finish in Belmont Fri. 21. The south Middlesex League start their playoffe here to- night at 7:30, sp come on down to the arena and watch the boys. To-morrow night at 8:30 the Combines host Forest for their final scheduled home game of the season. The play-offs follow this but they haven't a schedule out for this. We had a very good crowd out to our Sat. night dance last. Now that the sun is getting warmer we should start con- centrating a bit on summer sports for the boys and girls. Any of the ladies interested in ball, or any thing else for the girls, I wish they would get in touch with me, as I would like to see the gals participating in soft ball, but they have to have coaching, transportation, etc. The Lucan-Ilderton Com- bines are starting their play- offs, with St. Clements. The first game will be in Lucan Friday night and should be a good one. The South Middlesex League will play three games in Lucan, Thursday night beginning at 7:30 when Lucan will meet Byron.

Hiltz was assisted by Scout- er Glenn Northcott who read scripture. The theme of the service was "Self Denial" which is the Cub and Scout motto. piewomiel Lucan's Gift Shop Mrs. J. S. Radcliffe 227-4792 Lucan '°I wooden live in that Troana if ya gaye me the, whola dump on a silver platter.'t This is an, eM)ression oft heard In the vast hinterland of our glominioe, the true north, strong and freer It is echoed with equal emr phasis about Montreal, Halifax, Vancouver, Winnipeg, and the other dozen or so cities of any size. The statement above is est', ally followed by a di at ribe against "city living". ;its high rents, its heavy traffic, its un, friendliness; its distance from that demi-paraedise, the speak, er's home town, "Ya, I know it's nice in the summer up north there. But wuddaya do all winter in that dump", This is equally fami- liar. It is asked in the tones of simple incredulity of a sophis- ticated suburbanite who spends all winter doing exactly what you do in that dump up north: working, playing, bringing up your family, trying to pay the bills, and growing older. On most matters, I take a stand. But in this denunciation of the other fellow's mode of life, I take two stands. The first is gentle agreement with my small-town friends. I go along with their belligerent argnment that the city is no place to live; that I'd hate to battle that traffic; that living is cheaper in a smaller centre; that it's wonderful to live within five minutes of fishing, curling, golfing and friends. When I'm listening to some old buddy who lives in the city, I nod sagely when he points out that the city is an exciting place to live; that it's wonder- ful to be able to take in all the shows and concerts; that it's grand to be able to go out for an exotic meal in a fascinating place; that the small town doesn't provide the same cul- tural opportunities for your kids. Privately, I chuckle at both points of view. Both are full of contradictions. The city fellow claims there's no privacy in a small town--everybody knows your business. The small-town fellow explodes, "Privacy! How can you have privacy in the city when you're jammed into a two- by-four lot, in a house beside people you don't like and who /Hand Bags ' Fiesta has arrived.
