Second Section -Pages 9 to 12 Chinese Carpenter Gets $150,000 for Day's Work A carpenter receives $150,000 the market this time of the year and I make my own bread as Chinese . in• this part do not eat bread. I have no foreign stove yet, so had an oven made out of a coal oil can and heat It over a small charcoal stove. I` cannot make quite as good bread :as Harry Bartliff, but some kind friends sent me some dry yeast and it seems to work pretty well. I get a 25 -pound bag of flour the other day; it cost over a million dollars, and it was not Canadian flour either. Labor is also very hih.'I call- ed in a carpenter recently for a small repair job, and each work- man demanded $150,000 a day. Postage has gone up again. ' An ordinary letter home now costs $14,000 and an air mail is $59,000 and if people. at home do not put on sufficient postage we pay three to four thousand dollars to get their letters. They say you cannot make e silk purse out of a sow's ear. but I found out the other day that you can eat them, i.e., the pig's ears; we had them at a feast and they are really not bad. The Chinese seem to, find a good use for everything, and there is ab- solutely no waste, but there Is very little if anything that is free. We buy river water here for be- tween four and five thousand dol- lars for two large buckets, and then put alum in it to settle the dirt; in Clinton' you turn the tap right in your house and get the best water there is in any country without even thinking about the cost. Trees are partly out in leaf, and some fruit trees in blossom, so it is euite springlike. Yours truly. (Signed) -E. A. TOWNSEND. Rev. Elisha A. Townsend, Ansiang, Hunan, China. March 10, 1948. P.S.-Since writing the above, the December 25 Record has ar- rived.-E,A,T. per day but a 25 -bag of -flour - poor flour at that r- costs over $1,000,0001 The above figures indicate how far inflation has gone in China where Rev. Elisha A. Townsend; The NEWS -RECORD'S farthest - distant sub.'eriber is located, He is a Canadian Holiness mission- ary. His address is now' Ansiang, Hunan, China, he having moved from Changteh, The NEWS- RECORD is certain that Rev. Mr Townsend would be more than pleased to hear from anyone in his old home district, Rev. Mr. Townsend writes un- der date of, March 10, 1948, as follows: Kindly change the address of my paper from Changteh, Hunan, to Ansiang, Hunan, China. I have moved over here and if conditions are sufficiently peaceful, expect to remain for some time. Ansiang is a city of about twenty or twenty five thousand, 60 miles north-east of Changteh, as the craw fifes. However, we do not travel that way but usually hire a small sail boat or row boat and follow the winding course of the rivers. It usually takes about two days and two nights to make the trip. I am the only English-speaking person in this elty and find' it is really possible to feel alone in a crowd. My nearest English-speak- ing neighbor, that I know of, is 60 miles away, but in reality it is about the same as tho' I were in Clinton and 'my nearest English neighbor were in Winnipeg, as I could travel to Winnipeg from Clinton in about the same time as it takes to go to Changteh from here. I have no one to talk English to, but I can still read it fairly well and eagerly look forward to getting the CLINTON NEWS - RECORD. I have received all the numbers up to January 8, except September 11, December 11 and 25. The December numbers will likely come yet, but I have given up hope for September 11. I am wondering what I missed in that issue. In Montreal, we would not read the morning paper in the afternoon, but I received an Oc- tober number of The Star the other day in a parcel, used for packing; it was all news to me It makes a difference when one is cut off from radio, daily papers, telephone and such like. Some- times we think we might include letters also. Everything continues to be quite expensive here. Hen eggs are now $2,300 each, and duck eggs are quite plentiful at $2,600 each. We can get soft sugar at about $50,000 .a pound. Potatoes are off CTA APPEAL FAILS The Ontario Court of Appeal n Toronto last week, declined. to interfere in tTie conviction of Janes T. Ashton, Goderich, for unlawfully taking beer from Stratford, in Perth County, to Goderich, in Huron County. The Court invoked a section of the Canada Temperance Act that prevents. an appeal to the Appel- late Court from a decision of a udge in chambers. 0 RESIDENT 34 YE.IRe WINGHAM-.Mrs. Horace Vety- ell, resident of Wrnghan for the past 34 a ears, died suddenly on Thursday in WL: ghare General Hospital in her i'eth year, follow- ing a stroke. THOUSANDS MORE FARMERS WILL USE TRACTORS because The new h s opened up, a gat n e Mw Ma ket for tracto sassey-Harris " One year ago, Massey -Harris introduced a new small tractor ... the "Pony" . ; : with a full complement of mounted tools ... to be made in its Canadian factory at Woodstock. Previously, alliractors used in Canada, were imported. Thus, Massey -Harris took two important steps which are bound to play big part in Canadian prosperity during the years ahead,: The "Pony" opens up a great new market for tractors, both in Canada and in the export field. The last Canadian census showed nearly 500,000 farms still without tractors many of which are small farms and market gardens where big tractor outfits are not practical. And, there are a great many more thousands of small farms in the United States, in Europe, in Africa, and other countries where Massey -Harris products are sold,; Almost every one of them is a prospect for a "Pony". With the practical, economical "Pony" thousands more farmers will be able to use tractor power to do their work easier, quicker, and more profitably. The manufacture of the "Pony" Tractor in Canada will provide jobs in the years ahead for Canadian workers ... not only those employed in, the Massey -Harris factory, but also those employed in the.industries which supply mater,dis, ports and services. The great and growing demand for the "Pony", from the day of its first public demon- stration, is evidence of its real need and place in Canadian and world agriculture.
