Dear Friends At 'Wroxeter: It was a pleasant surprise when your box came a few days ago. Many thanks, It was very kind of you to send all those good things as they are a great help here. We gave most of the clothing to a home where the mother brought her ninth baby home from the little Red Cross Outpost Hospital at Cancroft, about three weeks ago. Their oldest child is not through public school yet so any help we can give them is need- ed and appreciat ed, They are badly in need of quilts and my daughter and I and a few other helpers are going to make over some coats into snow suits and make quilts from what is left. We are so glad whenwe have some things given to us, Sometimes we wonder what we can ••• Sewing MachineRepairService ALL MAKES Work Guaranteed Free Estimates Machines Electrified Needles and Belts Agent STAINTON HARDWARE Telephone so Wingham YOUR EYES NEED ATTENTION Our 25 point Scientific Examin- tion enables us to give you Clear, Comfortable Vision.

CANADA is heavily "in the red" in present trading with the U.S. dollar area. In our total trade with the world we are in a good position but not in that part which is done with U.S. dollar countries. Other countries with whom we do business cannot pay us in full, either in cash or in goods, for the things they buy from us. This situation is made more serious than ever before because so many countries, our regular customers, have not recovered from the war. It may be some time yet before they get on their feet sufficiently to help put things right. Meantime, we must find ways and means of balancing our own books an& reducing our U.S. dollar deficit. There are two things we can do at the moment ...cut down unnecessary purchases from the U.S. dollar area and increase our production of goods that can be sold to those countries to balance accounts.
