There should never be any need to sacrifice such plans in an emergency. No contractor would get a house built if lie kept taking away pieces to do repair jobs elsewhere. You may need cash quickly, but, if you have some bonds, that you've saved over the years, hang on to them. They can prove very hard to replace. It's wiser to drop into your local branch of "My Bank", and talk the matter over with Mr, William Robinson, the manager. You can borrow at the B of M against your bonds, and at a rate appreciably lower than for a loan without such • security. The money can be repaid in easy instalments, and the interest on your bonds will be credited to your account in the meanwhile. In fact, the interest on the bonds very nearly pays for the interest on the loan, 37,b PAGE TWO CLINTON NEWS -RECORD ' THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1950 Clinton News -Record The Clinton • New Era established 1865' The 'Clinton 'News -Record established' 1881 Amalgamated 1924 • An Independent Newspaper devoted to the Interests of the Town of Clinton and Surrounding District Population, 2,600; ;Trading Area, 10,000; Retail Market, $1,500,000; Rate, ,03 per line flat MEMBER: Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association; Ontario -Quebec Division, CWNA; Western Ontario Counties Press Association SUBSCRIPTION RATES: Payable in advance -• Canada and Great Britain: 22 a year; United States States end Foreign: $2.50 Authorized as second class mail, Post Office Department, Ottawa published EVERY THURSDAY at CLINTON, Ontario, Canada, in the Heart of Huron County R. S. ATKEY, Editor ' A. L. COLQUHOUN, Plant Manager THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1950 Progress .Is IN THE RECENT rail' strike one union leader, is quoted as saying that the companies were unwilling to permit their workers to 'participate in the higher revenues which would flow from Canada's increased industrial pros- perity. That sort of thing sounds fine.. It is right that every Canadian should be . better offas the nation as a whole develops, But there is a major fallacy in the idea that constantly rising wages in one industry, no matter how large or how important, benefit the nation as a whole, et that any one industry hes a„prior right to tap our national wealth. Canada and Canadians will enjoy greater prosperity in the world as our techniques and resources permit us to lower real prices, to produce and deliver goods and services for a constantly lower expenditure of manpower. Down Not Up From 1890 to 1947, statisticians and econo- mists tell us that the share of the manufact- urer's dollar in this country absorbed by, direct wages and selariee varied hardly at all. It was 21.3 per cent in 1890 -and 20.7 per cent in 1947. And as a matter of fact .the percentage share of the dollar going to "direct labor"at a low of 19.9 per cent in 1927 and at a high of 23.9 per cent in 1932 in the depths of the depression: In other words, when prices were falling, the employees got a larger share of the total dollar sales of their employers. Moreover, the wages they received brought more, Some day, perhaps, we shall realize that we as individuals . and as a nation make more progress by reducing prices by more efficient production methods and wider markets, than by constantly raising them. Important Business ONE OF THE casualties of the rail strike was the annual convention of the Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association of which The NEWS -RECORD is a member. It was to have been held at St. Andrew's, N.B., last week. Instead, it will take place in Quebec City, October 23-24-25. .The convention would have had few head- lines, even in the press of the host province. But that does not mean it would not have been impdrtant. The very fact that the representatives of more than five hundred newspapers, repre- senting communities large and small from British Columbia to Newfoundland, take time out for a get-together, is in itself big news. Annual conventions of the Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association are a form of Dominion -Provincial conference minus the constitutional problems. They are meetings of minds at which common and uncommon problems are explored by men and women whose job it is to work with opinion. Weekly newspaper editors are important people, even if they do say so themselves. They are important not because of who they are but because across their desks flow the Cross -currents of 'community life at a level at which it can be interpreted relatively . accurately. From the editorial and news columns of the weekly newspapers of Canada can be gain- ed a sure insight into the inner workings of the nation. The town and village press is a true re- flector and a true light,_ interpreting and guid- ing. It is a Gallup poll whose accuracy has never been questioned. Publishing a weekly newspaper is, indeed, a much bigger and more important business than most of its editors believe. Editorial Comment .. . THOUGHT FOR TODAY -The weakness of public opinion is that so many people express it only in private or to pollsters. Today's bedtime stories often begin "Once upon a time and a half" .. . Editor's Heaven: a place where no one says with a knowing leer each time we ap- proach: "Be careful now if you don't want to appear in print" The businessman who is proud of the goods and services he offers is proud 'to have his signature appear regularly in his advertise - meats. Because consistent advertising of quality goods and services is profitable to both buyer and seller, the advertising businessman is also proud to have his signature appear regularly on his cheques. Advertising is an investment which brings credit as well as custom, You don't have to be drunk to see double, according to vision authorities. I£ a car driver has fallen victim to the current fad of putting a small toy atop the dashboard, or on the windshield, he's going to see two of them if his eyes are focussed on the road. Proof of this optical fact can be made by holding up a pencilat arm's length, and looking at a distant object, .

It was a doctor who answered, "Yes, give me a glass of milk". It was an unexpected answer but it was the answer of good sense. A glass of milk will not awaken a thirst for a second and third and fourth glass; a glass of whisky may and the end is drunkenness. A glass of milk will not loosen a man's tongue and make him garrulous and noisy; a glass of whisky may. A glass of milk will not loosen a man's wits and make him maudlin end offensive; a glass of liquor may. The hostess who greets her guests with the ques- tion, "will you have a drink?" is betraying the standards of the christian home.-Advt. 37-b TABUS The "forbidden" fragrance which has whispered its way around •the globe ... adorns you completely ... irresistibly when worn in all three.. the Perfume, the Cologne, the Lipstick, TABU Perfume $3.00 to $35.00. original dre;n-purse size $3.00 TABU Coigne $2,25 to $7.00 TABU l.ipsl;ck $1.75 and $2.75 • C.
