Blyth Trade Fair
Enjoys Radio
Hookup By Bell
The third annual Western On-
tario Trade Fair ; was officially
opened at Blyth last Tuesday by
an Ontario cabinet minister who
remained' in his own living room in
Hamilton to perform the ceremony.
The opening remarks were made
by the•Hon. William K. Warrender,
Q.C., Minister of Planning and De-
velopment, in a longdistance tele-
phone call ,which travelled : over
both land lines and;by radio,
The address was received at
Blyth over a mobile telephone lo-
cated in a Bell Telephone, Comp-
any car, and" then broadcast over
loudspeakers connected with the
telephone.
The car was one of two Bell
vehicles, both equipped with tele-
phones, located in front of the
Blyth Community Hall, site of the
ceremony. A white tape strung
between the vehicles, at the ent-
rance to the building and fair
grounds where the W.O.T.F. was
held, was cut by W. T. "Doc"
Cruickshanks, general manager of
radio station CKNX in Wingham,
The three-day fair, a community
venture which is rapidly gaining
wide fame, was then under way,
Featured were some 250 exhibits
of machinery, materials and ser-
vices ranging from agricultural
equipment and electrical applianc-
es to the mobile telephone service.
Driving force behind the project
is A. H. Wilford, a native of this
community_ of 770 persons, who
now resides in'Toronto. He organ-
ized the first fair, a one -day show,
in 1953. It was such a success
that it was decided to make the
fair an annual event and it now
attracts both exhibitors and visit-
ors from points throughout West-
ern Ontario.
Interest Rates
Lowered For
All NHA Loans
The Royal Bank of Canada has
announced that, effective immed-
iately, the rate 'of interest charged
on new mortgage loans made under
the National Housing Act by its
branches throughout Canada is
being reduced from 53e per cent
to 5 per cent. The new rate
applies to all new mortgages ar-
ranged through The Royal Bank
of Canada for the construction of
new housing including private,
homes, duplexes, and apartments,
eligible under the Act.
In making the announcement
James Muir, the bank's chairman
and president stated — "We have
decided voluntarily to reduce the
rate on National Housing Act
1MIortgages for two very good rea-
sons. The Royal Bank believes a
lower rate will encourage even
more people to take advantage of
the very attractive terms that can
by arranged under the National
Housing Act and thus encourage
the construction of new homes. We
are also of the opinion that a rate
of 514 per cent, which is the max-
imum permitted under the terms
of the National Housing Act, is on
the high side and unrealistic under
present conditions",

FARM IMPLEMENT 'IME
Maintained at Low Level of Increase
Throughout the past ten years farm
implements have offered more and
more in time and labour saving
advantages. In fact, owing to the
scarcity and high cost of skilled
labour, farmers found in mechaniz-
ation the means to maintain their
operations efficiently and profitably.
And the chart above clearly shows
an outstanding achievement by the
Company in maintaining prices at
a low level of increase over 1941.
The index for Massey -Harris prices
of implements, and tractors sold in
Canada•hasincreased by only 66.8%
from 1941, whereas the index of "all
commodities shows an increase of
76.8%. The index of raw materials
that go into farm implements is up
by "80.2% and the index of hourly
rates of pay in Massey -Harris -
Ferguson Canadian plants is up by
173.9%. Farm products prices index
is 76.1% higher and the index of
farm labour wage rates is 170.2%
over that of 1941.
To place equipment in the hands;
of the farmer at the lowest price
practicable, farm implement prices•
over the years have been held to.
an exceptionallylow level of increase
in the face of the great advances,
in the cost of labour and materials,,
In ability to do a lot of work
quickly and easily, in quality of'
materials and workmanship and in
price, farm implements and
tractors offer exceptional value for
the money.
