HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Wingham Advance-Times, 1951-09-12, Page 8"Can inflation be checked ?
"Every one of us is concerned
with the answer to this vital
question. 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

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

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

what the teen-agers had done to his

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
