Market for British Manufactures. As a market for British manufactures Ontario presents an attractive field, more especially in the lines in which, United Kingdom manufacturers have excelled for so long. Tire development of Canadian manufacturing, of which such a large proportion is carried on in Ontario, leads one, to the conclusion that the greater part of British trade in this market will in future years be ton - fined to the principal groups of manu- factures which constituted the busin- ess here of United Kingdom firms be- fore the war, Japanese Activities. The activities of the Japanese con- tinued during the past year and every effort is being made to obtain business in the Canadian market. A large range of samples of goods soldhere have been obtained by the representatives of Japanese manufacturers and agree- ments made to duplicate then at a much lower price than quoted by their competitors, -,.• A .number of factors are operating against the acquisition by Japan of a large volume of trade In this area, in- cluding such matters as terms and methods of doing business, deliveries, quality, etc., but it would be a mis- • Continued on Page 3, SUMMER WOOD —0-- A Quantity of Hardwood Slabs ---,the best for Summer fires—now op hand, Get Your Orders in. /Early.

Dear Sir:— I read with considerable amuse- ment the comments of some of my OLD friends of my age. You will notice they saki nothing about my sprinting ab- ilities. et made sue laugh to think of those old geezers trying to kid them- selves into the idea that they were young. Wiry they were old men when 1 struck Clinton thirty years ago and I ant sorry to see that they are now so decrepit that they can't even get down to put a Bowl away (I mean a Lawn Bowl.) They must be getting very stiff when a game like Lawn Bowl is 100 strenuous for them. Just to show how young I ani 1 stepped out and won the Chaucey Cup emblematic of the Rink Championship of the Granite Curling Club last year. 1f it had been Billy Jackson or John Ransford who has said it, I would not have thought anything of it but those old has beens it is to laugh. t I suppose their chief game now is to stick arounl Dick Fair's store and tall what they did thirty or forty years ago. You know they say this IS a young country. It is. That is why 1 can go nut and win foot races and captain base ball teams while my old friends are dod dering around looking for a soft place to lei down. Why if they could only see the way some of their oidtownsmen like Drs, Bruce and Agnew, 31511 Fair„ Dr. Gunn Dr. Shipley, and some more step around they would be amazed. Thanking you for space to put those old fellows straight, I remain, Your respectfully W. Pat. Spalding Lay Corners of Memorial Hall John Joynt, M. P. P., and B. H.
