Sr. Cit. U.S.A. and. Foreign, $19.50 per year in advance
thus limits the number of jobs available to
-Canadians. With the'cosh of borrowing' at
well over 16 per cent-the situation is little
short of catastrophic.
One of the reasons cited for Canadian
rates followhig those in . the U.S. is that
unless they do so, the AmeriCan sources
of money for business expanSion will dry
•up - that in the face of the oft-repeated
admonition that American corporations
already own too much of the Canadian
economy. _
Just what any gevernMent can do:
about the situation is anything but Clear,
but Mr, Trudeau and his party have
sought for and inherited the: obvious
responsibility of taking Settle action .to
alleviate the situation; and that tight
quickly.

Although the financial wizards seem to
agree that higher interest rates •ate a
necessary curb on inflation spending,
there is every indication that those same
interest rates • may, blow the , whole
economic structure straight into oblivion.
In the United' States the prime rate was,
at the weekend; 18 per cent and still
climbing, Which makes borrowing from
the banks, a probable 20 per cent
proposition. • And of course Canadian
interest rates are never far behind.
It is true that if high interest rates
effectively curbed spending on luxury
goods only, a useful purpose Would be
served. But that is not the Case: One. of
the most drastic effects is felt by hOnie
owners, particularly young people with'
families to raise. High, interest also places,

Dear Editor,
•
The purpose, of this open letter is to
advise the general public that the Huron
County Historical Society has been
included in the plans, of the new library
building in Goderich.
We will have a fire-proofed Archives
room and will be working closely with the
library staff to improve on the catalogu-
ing, filing and protection of the valuable
historical documents we new have and'
hope to obtain in the future
The acquisition of the fire-proofed
vault puts us in the better, position to
accept historical data from individuals'or
organizations.
We, as a Society, are interested in all
historical documents of early Huron
County residents. We want your readers
to contact us if they plan on disposing of
. business or personal papers, deeds,
books, photographs, all belonging to the
' past history of Huron County settlers and
. their families. which would be of interest,
to future generations, and which is Our
duty to preserve.
If you require further information,
please contact me.
Sincerely,
Isabel Theedom,
