same story---a year of activity, with

and the prospect of •ending the

Was the speech of •Councillor Gordon
Buchanan, who has just recently
completed successful negotiations
With Modern: Sleep Limited, for the
establishinent of a new manufactur-
ing plant in Wingham. This is the
sort of news which is most welcome
of all, and Mr. Buchanan as chair-
man of the town's industrial com-
mission, has worked tirelessly, even
before his election to council, , to
bring new industry to town.
Though he is unwilling to take
the major portion of the credit there
, is no. doubt that his efforts have
been largely responsible for -the es-
tablishment .of two Major industries
here. In the most recent of these
efforts the alertness of M.P.P. John
Hanna started the ball rolling and
went a long way- toward •getting
negotiations off on the proper foot-
Tiowever;: the . reports of other
..municipal activity, though 'less spec-
tacular are equally encouraging.
• Topping the list are 'the improve-
,
ments Which have been made to 'the
main :street, New pavement, and

way toward indicating the type of
community we. know is ours.

have been paved, a good start has
been made on .a rive'rside park t. etc.

November evening in 1957., Money
was "tight" at that time and may
have contributed to the pessimism ,7
but money is just about as tight to-
day. Now, however, we are con-
vinced that• credit is hard to get be-
cause there. is a tremendous demand,
for it. And that is'a good sign, not
a bad czne. Business men in Wing-
hatr. arid many of their townsfolk
have a new air of confidence in the
future, which is infectious.
Certainly our town councilors
are optimistic about Wingham and
its future.

came; a great War'had been fought

with fall prisons and a tragic

As I read down the columns,
We see here -a remarkable par-
51101 with our own age. People aro
tired of• war and increasingly .be,
coming tired of entertainment.
Poverty -is with as in the fact-that -
over half the people in tiro world
go to sleep hungry, Many have
become tired even of their religion - , -and have lost faith in their ,ehuren

for, a -new enthusiasm, a new cause
for which they can give them-
selves.... The time Is ripe for God
again to come into His world, But

I got hold of myself, slowed
down, alui read every ad carefully.
Do you knew the only job, on three
pages, for • which I was nualified?
'It read: "100 MEN WANTED,
Highest wa ges paid In distribute
advertisin g matter. Paid same
day, Phone so-and-so." That's a
job stuffin g handbills under doors.
Anyway, it' was quite a jolts to
realize that bete I am, nearing
middle age, and the only job I'm
qualified for, if I lost, the one I'm
in, is peddling tills with a bunch
.of rummies. Now all this doesn't
necessarily mean you don't have to
know anything to be an editor.
Nor does it, mean -that all- editors
would be useless in any other job.
I know .some editors who would
,make excellent bartenders. And
vice versa. * *
Of course,. it's MO eflAtetr5',,011r:
that I never had" another job,'
did work at several, things, for
short periods, in• heti-Veen, sort of.
For instance, I worked on a pass-
enger steamer on the Great Lakes.
in summer holidays. There
learned to sort dirty linen, polish
brass., wipe up after the. seasick,
and 'shoot crap. But , there does-
n't' seem;; M e.to be 'Much call for this
sort of thin g 'in the Help Wanteds. *
Another summer, I worked in
factory, where I learned several
trades. Like welder's helper, for
example, Fused to pull the weld-
61's . dirty great ,tanks around .for
hint on a sort of cart affair. Then
I had to sit' and watch them, while
he went off into building to weld,
There had to. be a Man wat chin g
the tanks, in ease theY blew up. or,
something. Company rule. But
I don't see any ads lookin g for ft

Later than- summer, they put me
to running th'e freight elevator. I
enjoyed that, until the day I fell
asleep_at the bottom of the eleva-
tor shaft and.--everybody went home
and I was locked in the plant and
had to wait- until the night watch
--tan came around, about 11 p.m.
Rca red the daylights opt of hiM.
* *
Oh, I have a few other ;shills,
too, that are k not to be sneezed at.
In prison camp I picked up 'some
fancy culinary tricks, and can still
turn out as nice a betel, of turnip
jam or prune punch as you'll come
across, During a year in hOspital,
I learned enough crafts to set my-
self up in a souvenir shop anytime.
To mention only a couple; T learn-
ed to knit, and ground out baby's
soakers like a machine for a few
Weeks; I learned 4eatlierwork, and

THE POWER OF
BALANCE
Timely and sound is the view ex-
pressed by Bank of Canada Gover-•
nor J. E. Coyne before the Canadian
Club in Montreal, that the, central
tank should exercise its responsibil-
ity for money supply, that the char-
tered banks should exercise their
responsibility for allocating loans
among borrowers and that the Fed-.
eral- Government should exercise its
responsibility over. fiscal policy artd...,:
public debt policy,
• Consequences for the whole coun-
try would be disastrous if, as some
have ' suggpsted, the Government
should- tell the chartered banks how
tol-un their business and how to al-
locate their loans. •
• To the point, too, is Mr. Coyne's
warning that -people would not take
too literally "the more extreme re-
ports that sometimes circulate about .
hanks ceasing to make loans
Crux of Mr. Coyne's comments
Ties in his assertion that "we. cannot
achieve substantial and stea.dy..em--
- plOyment and growth -without price
stability and public confidence. that
price stability will" be maintained
One essential requirement for price
stability is restraint in expanding'
the stock of money."
If Government,. by excessive
spending, incurs deficits that can be
financed only by expanding the
•money supply, inflation ensues. The
same thing happens. When various.
groups in the country make • exces-
sive salary and wage demands, un-
matched by any comparable increase
in productive output.
