Today's all-time high costs of goods and services affect the living standards of people in all walks of life; and those living on fixed incomes are especially hard hit. "In addition to weakening our economy, inflation threatens our defence programme. "Therefore every method of controlling rising prices must be applied with vigour. "Government measures such as increased taxes, credit restric- tions and reduced non-defence spending are necessary, if unpop- ular. Of course, business and industry must co-operate--espe- cially by increasing productivity. The average man might feel that any control he alone can exert is insignificant. But the individual can and should help by doing his utmost to save money. "Every dollar he saves — through bank deposits, savings bonds or life insurance — plays a part in helping to stem the tide of inflation. And at the same time, it brings the saver important personal benefits, "These benefits need no re- viewing, But it may be pointed out that nothing has changed their importance even though there are many demands and temptations to use income for other purposes, Nor has any. thing supplanted saving as the one method most people have of obtaining many of the things they want and need most. "All in all, there are more reasons for personal savings today than ever before."

The treatment a would-be holdup man got from an aged couple, ought to be enough to put a big dent in any crime wave. The couple, who own a filling stat- ion, routed the bandit after he had fired two shots at them, one of them which hit the aged man. He picked up a plate of boric acid powder and hurled it at the intruder, The woman picked up a chair and yelled, "I'll brain you." That was enough for the bandit. He ran, Duke, a four-year-old collie, appar- ently was over-trained, Hg did all right as a letter carrier and newspaper "boy," But he got into trouble when he went into the laundry business. The man who taught the collie to bring home his mail and newspapers was puzzled when Duke started arriv- ing with sheets, towels and pillow cases, • A neighbour cleared up the mystery when she found Duke stripping her clothesline. Add to the list of fellows with strange jobs the name J. C, Harris. On weekdays, Harris is the village policeman. Come Sunday, he's pastor of a local church. Harris doesn't think it's odd. He says "Both jobs have the same aim- to make this a law-abiding commun- ity." Somebody around Barrie must have been desperate for a steak. A farmer says a marauder killed one of his steers, But instead of haul- ing off the whole carcass, the thief just cut off a hind quarter and took it away. There's a ferocious-looking 70- pound bulldog who loves to get lost. Cicero, that's the dog's name, also likes cats and plays with them. But mostly he just gets lost. His mistress, says Chicago acquired his fondness for getting lost when, after being lost the first time, he was sent home in a taxicab. Now Cicero gets lost deliberately in the hope of getting more taxi-rides. In Montreal, Harold Davidson has been losing sleep over a sight he saw on a city bus. He says a woman got on, opened her umbrella as she took her seat, and held it open over her head ass Lne way. When she got off, she closed the umbrella and walked along St. Antoine Street. The curiosty of a Hamilton woman cost her a wallet and valuable papers. Clara Thompson says she was standing in, a park overlooking a freight yard-.,,trying to see whether trains cameinto Hamilton backwards or frontwards. At the same time, thieves broke into her car and remov- ed her wallet. 'The Insurance company will get an Ottawa resident's car and the job of de-hot-rodding it. Our victim had his car stolen some weeks ago. The cops found it and identified it by the serial numbers, but our poor boy took one look at what the teen-agers had done to his precious jalopy and screamed. They had removed the fenders, windows, radiator grille, the hood, the seat cus- hions and even the brakes. Then they had "suped up" the mot or and painted what was left of the car red with white stripes! Seanshooters aren't always the thing to play with, Nineteen-year-old John Smith from Newmarket, Ont- ario, landed in jail because of a too- powerful beanshooter.

Remember parents . it's up to you to influence your children to drive. carefully , . today and every day. Wild Life Plentiful In Greenock Swamp That wild life is plentiful in the Grennock Swamp this fall, is borne out by the experience of a Walkerton motorist and members of his family on Sunday afternoon last, While tak- ing a drive along some of the' roads through the local hinterland the"party were in close proximity to a turkey buzzard which is rather a rare speci- men of feathered creature in these parts and also flushed a large blue heron or crane, The thrill of the day however was a family of four young racoons which provided entertain- ment for several minutes by their playful antics on the roadside before being ushered to safety by their ring- tailed mother. Besides this, several partridge took off from the roadway when almost run down by the car, and a baby groundhog also scamper- ed to safety only a few feet away. As the car was leaving the big swamp the last specimen of wildlife spotted was one of those animals more fam- iliar to townspeople, a striped pussy or in plain words a skunk. Fortunate- ly the car breezed past the polecat without exciting its objection to the intrusion on its wild domain and not one whiff was cast upon the ether. The afternoon's outing was akin to a 'visit to the zoo, but the thrill and pleasure of seeing these animals in their natural habitat was many times WIlino=1.11110•11410.4.01.4=.111.00/11.11.0.4..011111.02, Memorials We realize our obligation when we fill your order for a Mem- arial—and we provide only ma- terials of unending serviceabil- ity.
