MARKET .HEADACHE The Canadian Goverment is worried over Washington's plans for disposal of so-called surplus farm stocks Well, it might be, says the Financial Post,, for 'we have some .big accumulatio., of our own 'to sell. Before these two disposal jobs are over we will be lucky if a few national headaches are the only discomforts suffered. Both Washington and Ottawa are beginning to realize that it is much easier to get into state marketing than to get out. - Giving stocks away or selling aglow prices will interfere with normal mar- keting somewhere. Somebody's mar- ket is going to be upset and somebody is going to start complaining about dumping. Already there have been protests to Washington from Den- mark, Australia and New Zealand. The only. way the United. States or Canada could really get rid of these surpluses• without tnterfering with trade would be to set a match to them. And surely we have outgrown such foolishness as that. On this gontinent we might as well realize that we have a real selling job to do with wheat, feed grains, pork, cotton, tobacco and a lot of other things a benevolent 'government has been taking off domestic markets every time the price has threatened to move down to realistic levels. PRESTON CONCERNED ABOUT COSTS OF DAM Steps to ensure that Preston muni- cipal council will be advised of the meeting of the Ontario Municipal Board on apportionment of Conestogo Dam costs were taken by council on Tuesday of last week. Ald. Russ MacLeod, who has spear- headed the opposition to Preston's share of these costs, estimated at some $57,000, said that the meeting of the board scheduled for November 23, af"Paris to hear objections of that municipality to costs of the dam had been postponed to give five other municipalities an opportunity to ap- pear. A motion sponsored by Ald. Mac- Leod and Aid. Harry Halberstadt, that "the town solicitor be asked to ascer, tain from the Ontario Municipal Board where and when the prOPosed hearing on Conestogo Dam costs will be held, and to advise the commission that we consider that all benefitting Municipalities should be reconainend- ed to the lieutenant-goVernOr in coon., oil to be made member of the eom.. mission, in accordance with the Ont- ario statutes," was unanimously en- dorsed bY „council, NEWS .PF ,WHITECI WIWI( United Church W.M.S.

The Spiritual director, Father Dur- and, gave his second, talk on a title of the Blessed Virgin, His subject was "The Refuge of Sinners". He began his talk by stating that in the Old Testament there were several cities of refuge on either side of the River Jordan. Anyone who had committed a crime was freed from blame if he entered any one of these cities. These cities are a. replica of Mary, who is called the Refuge of Sinners because she is interested in our salvation just as her Divine Son is, After a dainty lunch the meeting was closed with prayer. -V4101WMAitplitalliMialletMailitaNFJOIVAIVAVAVArtzaWall 0 eJi COMFY COLORFUL SLIPPER SOCKS I Embroidered design. for every member of the family. • WOMEN'S SOLID BACK SLIPPERS COSY MOCCASINS Fur-trimmed for extra warmth and comfort.
