For five yeas the flow of foreign trade has been largely a gov- ernment responsibility. But now, to help.create peacetime jobs, Canadian enterprise must do its full share in finding customers abroad. This means doing business all over the world, in strange and distant cities, in a hundred languages and currencies. Canadian hanks have a key role in this complicated but essen- tial peacetime task. Every day their foreign branches and corres- pondents arrange credits, handle documents and perform other intricate operations to bring buyers and sellers togethet: across the obstacles of distance, language and custom. a This honking service is of primary importance to business and to every Canadian worker as Canada turns to the task of re. creating trade abroad to provide jobs at home, this AdverVis moot 1s Siyoutored by- your Bank BLACK FLAGS on U Boats WINGF1A14 ADVANM-TINIES 1.

DISTRICTS Mention had been Made here during the Past few weeks of High School Districts. There are two welt Dist- ricts in Ontario, in Essex and Kent Counties. Mr, Gordon Duffin, of the Department of Education, speaking in hanover, last week said that these Were functioning in such a way that ;Oral students were receiving ,educat- ional advantages, In his talk to the Kinsmen Club at Hanover, Mr, Duffin said that a.„ High School District does not necessarily divide the county, but runs over township and county lines, A distrlet should have a ,population of 7000 people with an equalized assess- ment of $5,000,000, All the ratepayers are assessed the same, and ,for such a district the average rate is approxima- tely 2 mills. The High School Board is composed of one member appointed by each urban public school board, one member appointed by the council of each municipality and one Member appointed by the County Council, it is up to the High School District to see that all students in that area attend that school through bus service. Mr. Duffin , said that the building controller of con Struction cannot allow materials to be released for high schools at present due to the housing shortage and that materials could not be released for twoyears. We have been of the opinion for some, time that if high school students in areas such as ours are to receive the best obtainable in education it would be necessary to establish a dis- trict to be so served. In the cities they have their students in great numbers close at hand and thus can give their students the best as the schools are large and have every facility. If we are to have the best for our children then we must adopt some system which is different than which we have. The High School District may be the answer. * * * It looks like a White Christmas. * * • * By the way there are just 21 more Thieves Raid Chicken Howe Thieves made a haul at Martin's farm at.

The. Committees at Ottawa are plan- ning a new flag for Canada. We are of the opinion. that any new flag for our country should have the Maple . Leaf incorporated into the design. The Union Jack hi -its make up would be alright also. . * Ontario is experiencing one of the worst crime waves in history accord- ing to reports, Those taking part in these crimes have no regard for the life of others and carry firearms in nearly all their activities,. Toronto is facing the problem with added machine guns, It looks as if another war will have to be fought to get rid of these bandits.
