S. ATKEY, Editor A. L. COLQUHOUN, Plant Manager THURSDAY, JULY 26, 1951 Accent On Savings PLAIN, OLD-FASHIONED SAVING—put- ting money in the bank against a rainy day— is a virtue at any time, but right now it has a very important added value. Saving in times of inf:laltion (a nice trick if you can do it) is much •more than an ad- tnl xtable habit; it don be a powerful weapon against the problem every Canadian faces to- day. Actually, it can be done. Strapped as we are by rising prices, the hard fact of the matter is— or so economists keep telling us—that we still have more money bo :spend than goods to spend it on. If this is the case, the obvious answer would seem to be one of two things: We have a choice either of cutting down on our spend- ing—in pend- ing in other words, saving more—or of pro- ducing mare goods. Or, . better still, a bit of both. • Some people prefer to seek a solution in price controls.. The government already has. the authority to institute controls if and as soon as it sees fit. But as we " see it, the trouble with price controls is that they add nothing to what people can buy and take no- thing away from what they have to spend. Controls also hold some prices below their natural levels and thus leave extra, purchasing power free to compote for other goods. The only way to really reduce the pressure on prices is to put the surplus purchasing power that already exists into savings. Inflation is making our currency look more and snore anaemic. It needs a transfusion, and the best way of ,performing the operation would be to combine greater production with increased savings. And, to barrow an educational slogan from one of our chartered banks: "Saving doesn't cost—it pays!" What Do United States Tourists Want? (A CWNA Editorial) WHEN OUR. United States friends come to Canada they are visiting a foreign land. They want to have the feeling that this is a nation different from ther own. They do not want the Stars and Stripes waved in their faces, proud of their own flag though they are. Canadians who drag out the United States flag on every possible occasion and some impossible ones doso with the idea that they are being courteous to United States visitors. This is not the case. The only time tele United States flag shcluld be flown in this country is at some joint Canadian -United States undertaking, To fly it at 'any other time is bad manners. United States tourists want to see the Union Jack or the Canadian ensign fly- ing in Canada, not their own flag. Canadians should get away from the idea that Americans are flattered when we name our restaurants "The New York Boanery" or use some 'other pseudo -American name Tor our tourist enterprises in the hope of inveigling tourists to come in. Cheap imitations do not make a United States visitor feel at home. There are fine (Canadian names which are seldom seen. Canadians perhaps should get to know their own history better. We must do everything we can to build up a sound reputation for hospitality, to smooth the way for United States tourists in search of Canada. We must see to it that United States visitors get fun value for the money they spend here. And most important, we must be ourselves. United States tourists want to get to know Canada and Canadians. We must impress them with the fact that we are •a courteous, fair dealing people, glad to welcome them to our country. Insect Ranger In The Huron District (Ontario Department of Lands and Forests) MOST PEOPLE believe that fires are the chief enemy of our forests; however, that is ,not true. Insects are man's greatest competitor for thp-earth's natural resources. Either direct- ly or indirectly, insects destroy more trees than do forest fires. They destroy trees dir- ectly in many ways—by feeding on the needles or leaves, by eating the buds or boring into the bark, They destroy trees indirectly by creating a fire hazard. The trees they feed on may dry up and die, thus causing an area of high inflammability. Most large forest fires are preceded by a severe attack by insects such as Spruce Budworm. Another way in which insects may destroy a tree indirectly is when the insect is the carrier of disease. Dutch Elm disease is carried by insect. To survey the forest insect population in Canada the Government has placed infect rang- ers at various points, The teinseet ranger for the Huron District is located at Chatsworth. During the summer months he is busy col- lecting samples of insects. A small healthy looking tree may be the home of a doeen different kinds of insects. Nothing to be wor- ried about — this is the natural condition. However, the ranger is always looking for new and different insects which may cause severe tree damage. It may be recalled that several years ago most of the Tamarack trees in Canada were killed off by the Larch Sawfly which came from Europe. This spring when the delicate foliage of some Tamarack trees turned brown it was often mistaken for frost damage. It was actually the Larch Sawfly at work again.
