J. McMurray has issued a proeiamaltion, publ'iehed elsewhere today, calling upon the citiz- ens to observe Sunday next, Jame 1, as Shut-in's Day by visiting or,in other ways, remembering the sick and tillable of the community. His Worship, himself, :las had a little taste of it during the past two weeks, and is certainly in a position to know firsthand how it feels to be confined to one's bedroom. There are none more appreoiaitive of any little attention's than the 'shut-ins, and it seems fitting that a special day be set aside to remind ,us of 'aur privilege of bringing some 'extra cheer and comfort to those among us who are 'less favoured than we. ,Canada will pay tribute on Sunday, in a special way, to those who are sick and disabled, young and old alike, who are confined through 'illness or disability to' their homes, hospital's, or lather institutions. They are an inspiration • to everyone, for by their .ability to meet adversity with cheerfulness, they earn our admiration and regard. Shut-ins should be remembered generously. Their one desire is to be accepted as members of bhe'commun- ity—to feel diet they are not forgotten. Shut-in's Day provides an opportunity to revive Old friendships, to make new friends, 'andIto gain a fuller appreciation of their problems and abilities. Recognition, consideration and affection are as much desired by the shut-ins—and valued more—than by any other group. Let us remember the shut-ins on Sunday! $ 100 REDUCED TO $10 So great has been the tendency on the part of Canadians to spend money in the United States that the Foreign Exchange Control Board has found it necessary to tighten the regulations, reducing from $100 to $10 )the amount of United Stapes currency any Canadian may 'held or fake out of Canada without • a (travel permit. . . Effeetive last September, regulations permitted Canadian repi'dentisto retain up to $100 in Uniited States currency without the necessity of obtaining a permit, but these have not proved satisfactory. Canada finds herself today in the wort exchange situation she has been in for many years, and something has to be doneabout it. The Minister of Finance announced on Monday that, for this reason, the Foreign Exchange Control Regulations have now •been amended to require any Can- adialn resident having more than $10 in U.S. 'currency inhis possession to sell it to 'a bank in Canada. In ad- dition, a Canadian resident wis'hin'g to take out of Canada more than $10 in U.S. funds or more 'dean a total of $25 in both U.S. and Canadian funds will now be required to obtain 'a Form "H" Travel Permit approved by a bank. The Minister made it clear that no change is being made in the policy of making any reasonable amount of U.S. funds 'available to Canadian residents for legitimate travel expenses. As in the past, residents may obtain necessary funds and permits for this purpose from the Fo1'dpi Exchange ;Control Board through Canadian banks. He also emp'ha'sized that the new regulations would not affect the freedom of Amierican tourists to ;bring funds into Canada nor to take out any money not spent during their stay in Canada. o 0 o EDITORIAL COMMENT Thought for Today — What we anticipate seldom ocoums; what, we least expected •generally haptens. © o "See you tat; Clinton Spring ,Show Thursday next, Juane 5!" 0 The "Open House" at Clinton Collegiate Institute this evening no doubt will attract 'a 'large number of par- ents of the students and other friends.
