Do you remember the Liberal propaganda which followed close on the heels of the Government's decision to peg the value of the dollar at a fixed rate -921.2 cents U.S.? ®The Government's decision to peg the dollar "will mean higher prices" for Canadians. Jack Pickersgill, Shubenacadie, N.S., May 5th, 1962, TRUTH: President Kennedy estimated today Canada ach- ieved the best record of price stability among all the major industrial countries. Canadian Press, January 28th, 1963. *The cost of living is going t3 increase because of dollar pegging. Lester Pearson, Wallaceburg, Ontario, June 8th, 1962. TRUTH: A 12 -nation comparison of retail price increases over 12 months shows that Canada has been most successful in keeping down the cost of living. The Canadian increase was just under 1q. The U.S. was only a shade more. Biggest increases were in France, Holland and the U.K., where the cost of living rose by over 5%. In Germany and Sweden it rose by 4q. Canadian Business, September, 1962. *Dollar pegging is too great a burden for the common man to bear. Paul Martin, June 6th, 1962. TRUTH: Devaluation has provided a powerful force con- tributing to a better external balance, increased produc- tion and more employment. Mercantile Bank of Canada, November, 1962. The Liberals claimed that the Dief-in-Dollar would in- crease the price of a $3,000 car to $3,225. TRUTH: Between the day the dollar was pegged and the end of 1962, the price of that same $3,000 car went down $9 00 to $2,991,00. TRUTH: The Canadian dollar is a sound dollar, one of the strongest currencies in the world. The Canadian dol- lar is a 100 -cents dollar in Canada. It still buys 100 - cents worth of Canadian goods.

Office—Meyer Blk,, Wingham DIAL 357-1990 Editorial Comment When you consider only 178 Cana- dians have been to NORAD, before 30 of us Canadian Weekly Newspapermen made the trip, it shows a lack of interest among government officials, news media people and others in getting first hand informa- tion concerning our role in the defense of the North American Continent. This being the case, is there any won- der there is such gross misunderstanding in government circles and laymen con- cerning our immediate acceptance of nu- clear warheads for our Bomarc ground - to -air missiles and our Voodoo inter- cepters? —L. Lashbrook, Mercury Sun Publi- cations Ltd., Rodney, Ont. My visit to NORAD has shown me the extremely intricate method by which North America is geared for defense in case of enemy planes approaching or en- tering our continent. I now understand fully the need for NORAD and the necessity for Canada to participate fully with the United States in the operation of the North American Air Defense Command. —C. G. Hawkins, Manitou (Man.) Western Canadian. "I am a Noradist," said one officer during a briefing on the tour of NORAD, taken by the National Board of Directors of the Canadian Weekly Newspapers As- sociation. This was typical of the Cana- dians and Americans working together in a common purpose—the defense of the North American Continent. Nationalities were submerged. Cana- dians felt rather ashamed at the hesitant role taken by the northern partner of NORAD. It was "crystal dear," that Ca- nada must play her full part in this de- terrent organization if the whole NORAD set up is not to be weakened. Canadian NORAD weapons systems must be equipped with nuclear warheads since the threat of nuclear bombing from manned enemy aircraft remains, and will remain for some time to come, the major threat. —J, R. McLachlan, Verden (Man.) Empire -Advance. ,fs• The most significant thing about the NORAD trip was the fact that, if our forces were given nuclear arms, this would allow them to destroy potential enemy nuclear bombs, by neutralizing them, and they would explode without damage, possibly over our own country. —Art Stanley, Nakusp (B.C.) Arrow Lakes News. If Canada is to accept her responsi- bility as a full partner in the effective de- fense of North America, then she must accept nuclear warheads as an essential part of the overall defense program. It is something entirely apart from politics and must be accepted to insure the safety of the nation. -----•E. A. Spence, Strathroy (Ont.) Age - Dispatch The application of electronics to the aero -space defense mechanism in itself conjures up pictures of more sweeping advances in air protection and space de- fense. But, the human role is the most striking feature of NORAD. Thousands of men trained in almost fantastic roles in detection and com- munication to provide the information and advice needed for the best use of our widely deployed forces in manned and unmanned defenses. Our far-flung de- tection systems give us instant knowledge of everything approaching the North Am- erican Continent, from east and west, from the pole to the equator. Forces can be called up in minutes to deal with threats the moment they appear. —G. B. McKay, Moosomin (Sask.) Spectator. If a nuclear bomb carrying plane were to bei shot down in the vicinity of Camp Borden with aircraft using conventional weapons, the enemy would achieve his aim. The reason being because explosion of his bomb at about ground level would create a fallout hazard, due to prevailing winds, which would cover Toronto in about,3 hours. On the other hand, an enemy nuclear attacker would be "cook- ed" by a defensive nuclear missile, caus- ing no fallout damage. Our government should arm with nu- clear warheads with alacrity. It is the morally sound thing to do. —Werden Leavens, Bolton (Ont.) En- terprise. What amazed me most was the revela- tion that the Canadian Government has shown so little interest in this vital op- eration; that less than half a dozen Cab- inet Ministers have visited NORAD in 5 years; and proportionately fewer mem- bers of parliament. I was impressed by the efficiency of the organization, the dedicated spirit of its personnel and the evidence that noth- ing is being left undone to maintain and improve its effectiveness. —Arvid Lundell, Revelstoke (B.C.) Review. Junior Farmers Are Told to Dress and Act as Businessmen Bob Carbert, secretary -man- ager of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture told delegates to the Ontario Junior Farmers con- vention in Guelph on Saturday that' farmers must work harder at public relations. - The traditional picture of a farmer as a slow thinking, slow moving opponent of progress must be replaced by the true picture of today's farmer as a businessman, he said. "Utter and complete depen- dance is a luxury farmers can no longer afford," Mr. Carbert told the gathering. With steadily decreasing numbers, and faced by redistribution of electoral ridings which will cut their influence, farmers need Must Prepare To Travel With The Space Age In spite of drifting snow, well over 100 members and friends of the Orange Associa- tion gathered in the Blyth Memorial Hall to hear George Warren, of St. Johns, New- foundland, Grand Master and Sovereign of the Grand Orange Lodge of British America, give a most inspiring address. He spoke on the plans and hopes of the order and of all the Christian churches in these changing times, that Canada and the world are facing. He said that Christian churches and orders have been the backbone of democratic peoples in the past, and must be prepared to travel along with the coming space age. Other visiting speakers were Carl Smith of Kitchener and John Hammond of Alvinston. the understanding of urban people, he said. He advised Junior Farmers to dress neatly and act like busi- nessmen whenever they are off the farm. Mr. Carbert said that every man, woman and child up and down the conces- sion must help to carry out this program.
