-GordOn Eall, president of the
Bank of Montreal, told sharehold-
ers at ti* bank's 1370 annual
meeting in Montreal on Monday.
Dynamic developments overseas,
he said, contained some thought-
provoking implications for Canada,
which involved -the need to in
crease efficiency and reduce unit
costs.
"What has been noteworthy
about the dip in business during
the past year is not that it should,
have occurred, but that it should
have been so limited in extent,"
said Mr. Ball. "We have. had a
long series of postwar years in
which a combination of new and
accumulated demands outran even
the remarkably rapid. expansion of
this country's productive capacity.
It was only to be expected that the
scales would one day be tipped the
other way and that downward ad-
justments of output and employ-
ment might .possibly i:become a

"Secondly, the persistentlyh!gh
rate of iliUlatien grovoth-and tik!e•
broader str_ibution of personal
income, which' have quietly been
.bringing about some profound
economic and social changes in the
past decade,' have probably served
to underpin and limit ,the recent
sagging tendencies in demand.
"Thirdly, with a levelling off in
.the demand for credit, the author-
ities have followed an appropriate
policy of easier money. As a re-
sult, market interest rates have
declined."
Beyond these cushioning influ-
ences, the B. of M. president Men -
"timed a fotuih, which he claimed
was ft° less potent and pervasive.
"lt • has been the level-headed

activity would prove to be a pass-

Enrollment in U.S. public
schools today is a record 29.6
million; growing so fast it is ex-
pected to top 36 million by 1960.

More and more. the Women's
sautes" seint to recognize the
meaning or Christmas in their pro-
grams and their activities 'at this
season, In common with other
organizations they have a gorol
'deal of carol singing at their De-
cember meetings and demonstra-
tions of gift wrapping and Christ-
mas deeorations.
Several branches have 'reported
the reading of "The Chrs.stmas
Carol" and at Jubilee Institute the
members acted "The Christmas
Carol." Often there is an upsurge
of friendliness at this time. The
December meeting may take the
form of a party to which all the
women of the community are in-
vited. Frequently there is special
entertainment for children.
But the Institutes' observance of
the season goes deeper than this.
In reports of last year's December
meetings there are such items as
these: Bernie had a talk on the
motto "Let's Not Leave Christ Out
of Christmas" and a paper on the
Christmas story. At South River
a cleraman spoke on "Putting
Christ Back Into Christmas," Sev-
eral programs included the read-
ing of Van Dyke's story "The Other
Wise Man." The Salem Nilestown
women felt that the Christmas sea-
son was a.. good time to have a
Salvation Army officer tell them
about his work with delinquents,
and their own responsibility for
the unfortunate.
Women's Institutes have varied
ways of creating What is Called
"the Christmas spirit." MrilloUgh-
by reports:: "We each bring seines
thing to put in boxes for the needy
in the community and something
for a soldier in hospital. It brings
out the Christmas spirit and we
usually have a good turnout.4
'Rockwood says: "We .,packed .a 75
pound boX_for a needy family who
had recently lost their mother.
In contrast to other meetings
which' were mostly for our own
entertainment we felt that we were
expressing the true aims of the
laiStitute."
Friendliness is expressed in very
tangible ways, too. In many In-
stitutes the members answer the
roll call by bringing gifts Tor child-
ren, to be distributed at Children's
shelters and hospitals or through
a family welfare agency. .74 This
practice is followed, too, with gifts
for the residents of old people's
homes. A number of branches
take a Christmas party to their
county Home for the Aged; others
bring the residents of the Home
to the Institute's party.
Occasionally an Institute reports
-having a special Christmas meet-
ing just for its own members, but
from such meetings a donation us-
ually goes to some outside need.

THANK YOU
Mrs. Cranston and 1 wish to sincerely thank
the people of Goderich and district for the
privilege of serving them for the past seven-
teen years, from the Cranston Funeral Home.
For reasons of health, we have been advised
to retire from the Funeral Service, and with
much regret, we have done so.
We had been concerned as)to whom we would
consent to sell the Funeral Home but, after
meeting several interested parties, decided on
Mr. and Mrs. Edward Stiles, who are now in
occupancy.
Mr. Stiles comes to Goderich very highly
recommended by his former employers, his
co-workers in the church, and his friends, and
1 know him to be very capable, conscientious
and reliable. -
• Your continued friendliness. with the Cienston „
' Funeral Home Service, and particularly with
Mr. and Mrs. Edward Stiles, will be greatly
appreciated by

r44140)e4 N.0/1 Walt* Vat048a
native of lcingsbridge an4 a real,
-dont of Detroit, left reeently with
his wife for a tour of Enrope, in
the following letter, lie tells of
their trip in a stratocruiser across
the Atlantic and their visit to
Vatican City,
Rome, Italy,
November 21, 1054.
Editor, *Signal -Star.
Dear Sir,—A few weeks ago you
were nice enough to ask me
through your paper to drop a line
back home now and then, telling
of our trip through this wonder-
land of Eurepe.
Well, Mrs. Dalton and I now
find ourselves in Rome, wellasamed.
the Eternal City. Less than one
hour ago, we attended the Beats
figation of , Venerable Giovanni
Martino Moye in St. Peter's Bas-
ilica in Vatican City. The Holy
Father officiated in person. We
haven't yet recovered, from the
thrill of seeing the Pope for the
first time.
But for the sake of continuity,
let us go back to November 1.
We embarked at Detroit, high
noon and landed at Shannon, Ire-
land; less than 12 hours later. In
1925 I made my first crossing on
a singing, tour with the "Detroit
American Choristers"; time elaps-
'''ed between,petroit and St. Peters-
burg, Russia, (now Stalingrad) was
14 .days. "Lace .curtain onlyin
those days." My next crossing, in
1932, was on our honeymoon to a
Eucharistic congress in Ireland.
We enjoyed a short trip of seven
days from Montreal to Dublin.
And now, less than 12 hours,
cruising at over 300 miles per
hour, 40,000 feet above the wea-
ther, in pressurized cabins, eating
filet mignon and drinking • cham-
pagne on the house. The compari-
sons are terrific. But just imagine
how my grandparents and their
families crossed as immigrants
over a hundred years ago—over
seven wtstks, under hardship con-
ditions. The chances are they
didn't eat "partridge under glass."
The Daltons, Kings, Sullivans,
and Desmonds, af Kingsbridge—I
know where they now are, they still
read "The Signal" or the old
"Goderich Star. We owe all our
good fortune to their pioneering
spirit, God bless them! It's all so
unfair.
A brief word now about -this
stratocruiser,, I brought ,along
my pilots' license and was allowed
to sit for a trick in the co-pilot's
seat at the controls. All I did,
of course, was watch altimeter and
compass. She handled easier than
my Piper Cub. The flight deck
was very confusing, over '425 in-
struments and controls to man-
ipulate on normal flight. The crew.
is made up of captain, co-pilot,
flight engineer with alternate,
radio man, navigator with alter-
nate, purser and hostess. Weight
of the craft at take off, 50 tons;
(four 18 -cylinder 2,500 horsepower
engines; 72 passengers; cost per
hour, $400; take -off ground speed,
