S. ATKEY A, L. COLQUHOUN Editor Plant Manager ' THURSDAY, JULY 29, 1948 HARVEST CAMPS NEED MEN, WOMEN nth a bumper crop of fruits and vegetables nearing u\1 tate harvest stage -in Ontario, the situation regarding harvest help is more serious than ever before. Young men and women are urgently needed from August 1 to N9vember 15 to fill up the Farm Service camps which have been established in the important fruit and .vegetable areas. During that period, 'heavy crops of peaches, pears, apples, tomatoes, other fall fruits and vegetables have to be harvest- ed, and 25 camps are being operated, to 'house workers who are willing to devote their time to the saving of these essential crops. Both young men and women are needed far the Farin Service camps. Not •only will hundreds he required from August 1 on, but at the end of August high school students •will be leaving •the camps to return to school, and it is vital that other young men and women conte forward to take their places in the camps. Camps are located through- out the Niagara district, also at Holland Marsh, Oakville, Clarkson, Huttonville, Waterford, Ruthven and 'Redford. Steady work at excellent rates of pay is guaranteed, and with heavy crops to be harvested, hundreds of workers will be needed for the next three months. Any young men dr women who can give three weeks or more to this work, while living in one of the splendid farm service camps, will be welcomed wif?i open arms, They are asked to, provide only their own blankets, sheets and pillowslips. An appeal is made especially to farmers' sons and daugthers whose harvest work on their own farms is coni- pleted, and who would like to earn a substantial amount of money by taking -part in the fruit and vegetable harvest. Ali young men and women interested in this healthy outdoor life of harvest work are urgently requested to get in touch with the Ontario Farm Service Force, 9 Richmond Street East, Toronto, at once. 0 0 ©• MORE SAVING ESSENTIAL Canada's official estimate of a record $3,000 millions for 1948's new capital expenditures, bath public and private, arouses the concern of the Bank of Montreal in its latest Business Review. The 13 of M recalls that "a survey made at the beginning of the year by the Department 01 Reconstruction and Supply indicatedthat, in 1948, new capital expenditures within Canada by private enterprise and governmental bodies on plant, equipment and residential construction would amount to a record $2,800 millions its compared with :12,400 millions in 4947, $1,600 millions in 1946 and an annual average •of 8700 millions in the years 1935-39." A mid -year official check on these forecasts now re- veals that original expectations have been revised upward to approximately $3,000 millions, the review continues, adding that this indicates an increase of 25 per cent over 1947 capi+aI outlays in dollar terms, .and of about 10 per cent in physical volume when price changes are taken into consideration. A" capital expansion program of this magnitude, con- centrated in a single year, must be regarded by any reasonable centrated in a single years, must be regarded by any reasonable standard of comparison as of boom proportions," the bank comments, 'And as such, it poses present and prospective economic pr-pblems. It is of the essence of a capital goods boom, under conditions of practically full employment, that it temporarily widens the disparity between spendable income and available consumer goods. , "It follows that, if such a trend is not to aggravate inflationary pressures, a correspondingly high level of saving is necessary. in point of fact, however, available data in- dicate that saving in all its forms is not at present keeping pace with the demands of the economy for new capital in- vestment. The net result in both financial and physical terms is increaesd competition for relatively scarce resources. Look- ing further ahead, the size of the present capital program Highlights the dangers inherent in over -expansion, particularly in those cases where the new investment cin only be justified on the assumption of continued boom conditions." The revi w observes that, although an eleventh -hour settlement averted the danger of a general railway strike, with its "disastrous repercussions" upon business, the basis of settle., ment itself is generally regarded as having created new problems. Pointing out that the wage increase of 17 cents an hour, retroactive to March 1, raises railway operating casts by an estimated 876.5 millions annually, the review says that this action more than offsets the effects of the 2.1. per cent increase in freight rates granted in March on the basis of the then -existing wage scales. 0 0 0 • EDITORIAL COMMENT Thought for To -dray --A telephone pole never strikes an automobile except in self defence. 1 © 0 0 What is a safe speed?
