Psalm 15 asks, "Lord, who

A couple of weeks ag:o The

are theeet
"Young farmers especially

"There has been. 57.5,000 of

As D'iug Miles, County .Ag-
ricultural Representative put it:
"This subject is bothering us.
Most people do not know what
interest they are paying".
Reeve Ernest Snell of East
Wawariosh said, "The rate of
finance is terrific. On the farm
they are paying three times the
rate they should be peeing".
Warden .Jewell said, ',This is

romance turned from. bliss into
an endless spindle of bills. it
became apparent that the se
people didn't need the divorce
court but rather a little straight
thinking on the subject of fi-
nances".
Ministers of all denomina-
tions across this country are
concerned about this problem
because it rates high among the
causes of marital failure. We
are also concerned because
some interest rates are sheer
theft and robbery. On top of this
they are too often camouflaged
by deceit.
Liberal Senator ; DavidCroll,
has battled for years trying to
get a bill passed which Would

Royal. Commission on Banking
and Finance recommended.
