WHERE DOES Tiff
AS most of you ,are aware an im-
portant meeting was held, lecently
at Dartmouth University. It was
titled the Convocation on Great
Issues, ,amen' many of them revoked
around Canadian American prob- ,,
lems, The entire concept of the -
meeting was a bold one, whereby the
statesmen and leaders of the two
countries decided to give free ex-
pression to their thoughts on mat-
ters of international importance.
Many of the thoughts turned out to
be °beefs" of various kinds, but
there is little doubt that better, un-
derstanding will result.
We were struck, however, by the
remarks of one of the speakers who
pointed out that Canadians buy so
many American-made products that
we, in this country, suffer from an
alarming trade deficit. The Amen -
tcans don't buy nearly as much from
us and the experts in Canada fear
1 that we may bankrupt our nation.
There is no iea.son tb doubt the
opinion of the financiers, They know
L .i,„pflat they are talking about — but
we do believe that farther study of '
„,the causes of this over-spending in
the U.S. would be enlightening. The
st*t truth of the matter is that
anadian industrialists have been so
ONir.to develop new lines of maim-
cture that the average Canadian . .
uyer has little or no alternative. As
example — a good many of the
611ars earned' y our newspaper and
iinting plant in any one year even-
kially find their way to either the
nited States or Gerniany — for the
Simple reason that there is virtually
9, printing equipment made in Can-
The same is true in dozens of
er lines as well. „ •
It may of course, be true that,
Sille6 we do not use the sanievolurne
of goods in this country, the maim ,
;factoring operations would be some-
what more costly. However, the
Canadian government has provided
fairly ample protection for most
manufacturers in this regard. Duties
. of 20 to 25 per c:ent are charged on
the import of most mannfactured
items, to provide .for the higlier cost
factor, Competition is made that
much easier for Canadian industry,
It is more than possibiethat
adV.erse trade balance springs
large measure, not from the free and':
easy spending habits of the Ca-_
n.adian -public, but rather from
glaring lack on the part of big Ca-
nadian businessmen who: prefer to
Invest their surplus funds hi a nice„
safe importing concern rather than,
in a new, and 'perhaps somewhat
risky manufacturing :venture Which
would proVide employMent for Ca-
nadians and keep 'some of our dollars
at home.
American investors do not seem.
to be quite as pessimistic about the
future of the, country They are'
sending funds to Canada in ever -
;increasing amohntS' for the estdb-
lishment of manufacturing concerns,
After they haVe had the courage and "
foresight to do so another 'speaker.

,MAKE THE OLD ONE DO
We have heard a few complaints
during the past week .about the fact
'that workmen are installing a new
floor in the McKenzie bridge .at the
north entrance to, the town,— a cer-
tain indication that there are.,
immediate'planS to replace the•nar-,
row old bridge ;with a modern one:
There is no doubt 'that a new
bridge would add Iremen'dotisly to
the ''appearance of the ',community,-
and it *mild then be possible to
beautify the whole river area in that
section of the' town. However; We
have a bit of .SyrnpathY for the 'On7
tario ,Department of Highways .in
this matter,: The, Departinent,..
thrbugh the good 'offices of bur loCal
meniber, John Hanna, has been par-
ticularly generous in the matter of
highways. There is scarcely an area
'in the whole province which has
been. as well looked aftei. As an
example,' think of the costly bridges
and road work 'which was done
south of the town six yea-rs ago. •
The entireprovince is screaming
for improvements to' ;roads and ',
bridges.and no doubt the powers-
that-be consider the Winghain
bridge' as one. of, their milder head-
aches. We all hope, Of coursei thati•
a nev bridge 'our be built before too
long, 'but it is highly ,possibie that
we can surVive a little while longer
without it.
OF THIS AND' THAT •
rl
The contractor who is engaged
in building a new bridge just east of
Teviotdale should be ashamed , of
hiinself. The detour around the site
is in such bad shape that a fraction
too much hurry would guarantee
broken springS in any car, Seems
unnecessary when he has oodles of
road-building equipment right there,
on the job.
Don't forget the current cam.
paign for the Canadian National In-
stitute for the Blind. TtifCre is scarce-
ly an organization in the entire
country which so well merits your
full 'and generous snpport, The
CNIII pioneered the idea of self-
help for handicapped people and its
,successful demonstration of the
value of this particular method or
approach has been copied by several
other welfare organizations,' The h-
eitute carries on a 111111:tittide o
fine services for the blind people of
i
Canada and has been responsible for
a whole new world of hope for tht

Lessen Hay FeVer
The HaY Fever season is now in
full owing with half a million resi-
dents of Ontario beginning to
sneeze, sniffle and feel utterly
miserable. This lo because, the air •
is laden with ragweed pollen to
which these unfortunate people are '
allergic and the condition will 64-1
tinue until 'the first frost, which
can he expected toward the end of
October, reports the Field Crops
Branch of the Ontario Department
of Agricult04.
It is too late to begin a series of
inoculations which, in any event,
aro not always successful and the
only.real relief now is in escapeto
a safe area. Ragy,reed can bp found
everywhere in old Ontario, even in
the heart, of the largest eitiee.
Fortunately, however, _Northern
Ontario provides a haven for ,hay
fever sufferers and these who, can
take a holiday will find relief in'
mast of our Northern areas.
4von 'though t September cannot
be spent in• the North,' there are
many things which can be done to
bring a measure of relief right at
home. The first thing is' to see that
all ragweed in thp immediate area
is destroyed.- Clean up your own
yard and ask the neighbors to' do
likewise: '
A high protein diet gives some
relief to a number of people,
Any air cooling or ventilating
system where the air is.drawn
through a filter or cleaner will re.'
duce the pollen count in' the house.
The hay fever sufferer can alsji
insure himself a reasonable rest by
keeping his bedroom tightly closed t
all day; This will allow,any pollen
in the room 'to 'settle,' and relief
can be expected' for most of' the
night.
