Few sleighs are being made at the present time and. sleighs like anything else Wear out. The result is they are getting scarce. At an auc- tion sale in 1939 the farmer in question bought a set of good sleighs for $18. At his own clearing sale last week the same set of sleighs brought $59.--Ar- thur Enterprise. News.

Exeter Dehydration Plant Still Operating, The Exeter branch of Canadian Can- ners received from the Dominion .Gov- ernment the "Go Ahead" sign to finish the dehydration of the very fine cab- bage crop now in this locality. The plant had been closed down for a few days after word was received from the government that all dehydrated vege- table contracts had been cancelled. When the plant closed down it was es- timated that there were some 1,500 tons of cabbage under contract at $12 a ton which would mean a loss of some $18,000. However the govern- ment had promised that the growers would be protected, The re-opening of the plant means that the one hundred odd employees who were being laid off are now back again at their old jobs. --Exeter-'.Cities Advocate.

Gen. Brock Chisholm in an address last week. The strides which scientists have made in the atomic field during hurled against each of these, places, The destruction was such that Previcktis bombing raids were. forgotten. Now the General comes up with the state- ment that new weapons will make the atomic bomb a mere child's toy. Man evidently has the power now to destroy himself. There is another al- ternative and it makes_ much more . pleasant thinking. It is the fact that • atomic energy properly used can be a blessing to mankind, WORLD BANK, There is one thing which baffles, us it is international finance. When one cou- ntry has a rate of exchange which is unfavourable to it that country is plac-' ed at a great disadvantage. The fluctu, • ation in this exchange is the means, we 'are told, of many people, or should we say a select few, of making vast amounts of money by guessing or knowing when and how to sell this ex- change. These people who do this are - not producers of goods or labour yet they reap a profit which in many cases is far greater than. the people who • create this wealth. It seems to us that in the days of the depression when we had goods in abundance and could not sell them and yet at the same time people in other parts of the world needed these , goods or services very badly but could not buy, that We re- quired some greater form of co-oper- ation, nation with nation. If this is the function of a world bank we are all for it, But as we say in such matters we have poor understanding except .for the fact that we know conditions such as we named above should not be al- lowed to again trouble the world. * * *' Wish you friends a Merry Christ- mas, It costs so little but may mean so much. * * * * And by the way there are only eight more shopping days until Christmas. * * * * The sun came out today and dispel- led the fog.

About 11 p, m. Mr. Hilton answered a knock at the door of his apartment which is above the bank premises, and was confronted by a man carrying a gun who demanded that the manager accompany him downstairs to the bank and open the Vault, An accomplice' entered the apartment and tied. Mrs. Hilton with rope and tape, then the two men herded Mr, Hilton below stairs at the point of a gun, leaving a. third man to guard Mrs. Hilton and ordered the manager to open the bank vault,' Mr. Hilton opened the vault but it took twenty minutes or so of argument to fina4ly convince the rob- bers that he could not open the inside safe as he knew only one half the corn- bination.—Ormgeville Banner, Heads Piano Association Addison A.

Calf Born Without Hair Harold Barber of Norrnanby Town- ship, about six miles north of town on Provincial Highway No. 6, has a freak calf two 'weeks old that he has invited us down to see, but in the meantime we shall take his word for it. The calf, a Durham, was born without any semblance of hair excepting a bit of fuzz about the shoulders, and while it appears healthy enough and feeds well, it is more or less a nuisance as Mr. Barber has to keep it blanketed all the time to keep it warm.--Durham Chronicle. First Skating At Fergus First skating took place outside in this district last Saturday and it was on the Lillie pond opposite the end of Union Street and on the .cow quarrie pond beside the Orangeville road.

All wonder just what the result would be if this instrument of destruction was used to its full capacity against man. There is a ray of hope that it will not be used in this manner and the coming meeting of the Big Three foreign ministers is a part of that hope.
