We think We have been hard done

tioned .in. sugar, butter,' certain kinds
of food stuffs, automobile tires and
parts . and such things, but as 'eve
look at conditions in the war stricken
areas, if. we have any sense of right
at all, we must realize that we have
• very little to.eomplain, about. There
are' indeed few meals when we have
not, sufficient to appease •our bun-

What a contrast that home corn-

gsouls to go,back to their homes and
a how proud we are of them. With'

A. cartoon Was. printed in one of
our papers picturing Prime Minis-
ter Churcinll standing on the south
west coast of England with clenched
fists calling over to France, on
which is flying the Swastiki.
".Frenchmen, re-arrn your spirits be-

faith for all will come right. We
shall • never stop, never weary and
never give in." .That was on Oct. 22,
1940.. At the same 'time the air-
planes were , flying , from Germany
dropping bombs on the' British Isles.
We at times wonder at the amount
of faith the ' Prime Minister had
when he could cheer the hearts of.

TAKE: A TIP
1. To keep woollens in circulation
longer it is important ,to give
them careful and frequent ,cleans-
ing. Use plenty of water but not
too much soap. Squeeze. through
the suds and brush any soiled
spots with a soft brush. Rinse
well in 3 or 4 ,basins of warm
water, " Squeeze`- dry slid spread
out on, clean paper to dry.
2. Perspiation, dirt and, 'grease
that are allowed to remain 111 the
fabric of overalls weaken; the
cloth. Frequent washings are
better than seyere laundering : for
very dirty clothes.':
3. Clothes that have become yel-
lowed can be whitened by first
soaking then`over night in Water
containing borax—about M cup
to 1 ballon' of water. If the re-
sult is not satisfactory, , let thein
freeze in :cold weather. This will
whiten cottons and linens won
derfully.

Need Lower Income Taxies,
To Create Post -War Jobs
Continuance of family-owned busi-
nesses in Canada is discouraged by
prevailing high -rates of personal in-
come taxes and succession duties
according' to a brief submitted by
the Canadian Retail Federation to
the Ives Royal Comxdission on Tax-
ation. Representing retail mer-
chants from alt -parts of Canada, the
Federation ' proposes that personal
income taxes in all brackets ,shouId
be sharply reduced as men as the
war is over and that until this is
possible . succession ,duties should.
be suspended.
The' retail trades, it is stated,
for'm:'the' largest .single element in
the. service industries on which Can-
ada depends for 42 per cent of the
jobs- which must be provided: after
the war. Tosupply the 800,000 jobs
needed many new retail businesses
must be established- but present
high rate .of income tax discourage
or prevent the :starting -of new
enterprises" by indiviclualt..High tax
rates will freeze economic develop:
meat in Canada, it is contended.
• If personal. income tax rates are
lowered in the -post-war period re-
latively high rates of succession
duties 'should be -possible but there
should be only' one administration
to -collect such duties in order that
l'atcs of personal income taxes, suc-
eessien duties and gift taxes may
he properly integrated, the Federa-
tion states. If succession ditties are
continued at present rates prod-
Sion should be trade to assist estates
to 'realize on -sign-liquid) assets in-
cluding shares in "Family Busines,
ses".'
Important Question Up. To
-Farmers
The :question: how to use spare or
disposable eas11 to the best advantage
is an important one in connection,
with faun ,business management, at
the present time. The choice is be-
tween spehding and saving. The far-
mer who chooses, to save the greatest
possible amount now makes his
own post-war plans practicable. Re-
serves of savings built up now are
the means by which to secure better
farms, make. them more pleasant
places to live and work on and pro-
vide a nest -egg against tmforeseen
events. • •
There is no more convincing proof'
than the experience of,the past.
About 25 years ago the emand for
farm products was high as it is now,
Prices not being controlled as in this
war, rose rapidly and- went far.
Farmers, as a result, appeared to be
doing pretty well. In the latter years
of the 1914.18 war, and for a time
afterwards, they went on a fairly
generous spending spree. They
bought land and machinery and
other goods at high prices, and in
doing so, pushed prices still higher.'
The day of reokoning name in the
1930's. The debt which :had been
piled up in the early period•. •beeamo
one of the chief .burdens of the de-
pression years.
In World,War 1 farmers got into
debt; in. th• present war so far,
they have been ;getting out of debt.
This time, higher income has been
used to get down to a reasonable
level to a point where farmers can
be sure, in the future, of being able
to meet interest and principal pays-
ments.
Over and,. above this, farmers have
put away substantial amounts of
savings. The wise farrier will not
invest these savings in faun land,
which may now appear to be- an at-
tractive buy, ` but will invest 'them
in safesecurities such as Victory
bonds, so that in _the. •p.ost-war
period he will be able to get those
things which,_ when on the ., market
again, will make for a higher stan-
dard of farm living
