How to organize and handle the
I( financial affairs of a youth club is
clearly and simply detailed in a
new booklet published by the
Canadian Bankers' Association.
Banking for Your Club is
11 designed to familiarize the' young
reader with the range of financial
services offered by the chartered
banks. It tells clearly and simply
the types of accounts available,
how to invest the club's money,
how to write cheques and how to
set up a simple form of ledger.
"For your club, as indeed for
you personally, a banking connec-
tion is very important. Choose
yours carefully and then find out
all the ways it can be helpful to
you. You will find the manager
and staff anxious to help you and
give you useful advise at all
times.
"Whatever the purpose of
young people's groups, money is
always involved money which
observed, seemed to be that dog
food was more tasty than cat food.
The program did not point out,
the farmers said, that some of the
pet food is made from meat from
animals that have died on farms
from various diseases and are
sold to pet food companies
through dead stock companies.
These- animals, aside from the
disease factor, may also have
large quantities of drugs in their
systems, the farmers said, which
might cause harm to humans
eating the meat, particularly to
people suffering from allergies.
clubs
belongs to the group as a whole,
not to the- individuals concerned,
So the people who look after the
financial affairs of the club want
to do so in the best interests of the
whole group today and for those
who will belong in the future.
"Handling money for a club
needn't be a problem. In fact, the
treasurer and others concerned
can derive real satisfaction from
handling the club money
effectively and gain experience
which will be useful in later life.
But like any other group activity,
there are a few rules and
procedures to follow. Your bank
will help make it easy."

A motion was made that a letter
be sent to the C.B.C. consumer
show Marketplace pointing out
the dangers of eating pet foods.
Not everyone in attendance,
however, was in favour. Two
farmers felt the letter might scare
off people from buying pet foods
even for their pets, thereby
depressing the pet food business
and further pinching the dead
stock removal companies who are
already in a touch financial
situation because of declining
dead meat prices..
But one farmer warned, "As
farmers, it's our duty not only to
produce food but to warn our
consumers that some food is not
tit for human consumption. We
owe it to them on a human level."
The motion to send the letter
was passed with only two
decenting votes among the nearly
200 persons at the meeting.
