But the tourist industry has potential values beyond its annual -money, income: • it fosters exchange of ideas between neighbours, inter- national understanding and co-operation, tolerance and goodwill; • it accelerates betterment of railway, waterway and air- way service, of motor roads and hotel accommodation; • it awakens interest in Canadian products and oppor tunities for capital investment. 'Through its offices abroad and more than 500 branches distributed throughout Canada, the Bank of Montreal is one of the leading factors in providing service for the tourist trade. Its offices abroad and in Canada are centres to which countless tourists turn for information and guidance. These offices not only extend financial hospitality which facilitates the exchange and transfer of money,but contribute in many other,ways to make the visits of tourists comfortable, happy and profitable. Thousands of customers of the Bank of Montreal do business with visitors from other countries—hotels, transportation :lines, service stations, stores, et cetera— and they too find the kind of banking service they need in the Bank of Montreal. 'From the General Manager's address at the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Bank, 1935: "Canada has unexcelled railway and hotel facilities to attract, tourists the whole year round, and year by year, as our automobile roads are improved and extended, more and more American cars will be seeti in Canada. "Railway and steamship lines, tourist agencies and news. papers have done a great dealtowards cultivating this important trade in the general interest. "Country hotels, boarding houses and tourists camps are coming to realize the necessity of improving accommo. dations and'sere:cc. "If tourists are given a warm welcome, are comfortably accommodated and treated courteously and fairly, their number will increase annually." BANK OF MONTREAL ESTAELISHED 1817 • HEAD OFFICE, MONTREAL Clinton Branch: H. M. MONTEITH, Manager Londesborough (Sub -Agency): Open Monday and Thursday . MODERN, EXPEa1ENCED EAN'KING SERViCP THE OUTCOME OF 119' ?R'RS' SOCCEssPDL OPERATION Will Appear In Court On Little Locals November 3rd Gordon G. McLaren and Robert S. Fletcher, former Toronto brokers, were allowed to appear under guard with their counsel last week in a spe- cial room set aside for the purpose to examine stacks of books and records, seized by the Securities Commission when they padlocked the brokerage house last April, and brought to Goderich in a truck from Toronto by Provincial. Police. The criminal charge against Mac- lait+n and: Fletcher arise out of the case of John J. Haggard, Seaforth lawyer, now under sentence of three years. Others, known as the Beau- mont charges, on which accused were committed for trial at Toronto, will also be heard at the Assize Court in Goderich, starting Tuesday, Nov. 3, before Mr. Justice Jeffrey and jury. i.e. snake a farewell address. We have held the honourable (we hope) posi- tion of C.C.I. reporter since we were in Third Form and we feel, and we -ire sure that everyone else feels, that it is high time that we resigned. Therefore we now hand over the business into the capable hands'' of Clancy, Dougan & Co. and we heartily wish nowthat we had not had so mulch to say about Dougan, for re- member the elephant never forgets. No offence meant, that is, maybe not, We always liked doing the work, and although it got us into lots of scrapes, we always -managed to get out intact. Also we think that we have nobly upheld the women's point of view, and we suppose it is time the men had their fling. We were willing to surrender the position at once, thus cleverly avoiding the farewell speech, but Clancy has one of these methodi- cal minds, and he wouldn't start in the middle of the month. We really feel rather mournful a- bout it. although we can't seen to help sounding facetious. • We hope you won't feel resentful toward us if we've hurt your feelings by our un - pleasantries; we never meant any harm. We don't like any partings, and the C,C.1. News seemed to grow on us to the extent that we began to thinks of everything that happens in the light of copy 'for the column.. Maybe we will take out our yen for writing in letters to the Hone -Maker or to .Eleanor Dare or someone but We hope that we never sink so low as that. ' We have chronicled' the C.C.I. News for' nearly two years, and we cannot dismiss it altogether from our life without a sigh. However, we take great pleasure in introducing Clancy and Dougan, and we wish them every success. And now your old correspondent bids you Hail and Farewell. Maybe sortieday we'll be writing news for the. London. Times, but we'll still take more pride in the title of CA,L re- porter than in any other, —So Cheerio ..:'and Good -Bye. • Workmen are busy repairing the roof and bell tower on the postoffice.

Truck Ran Into Train An accident occurred at a level. crossing on No. 4 highway, three miles 01' so north of Clinton, on Tues- day which might easily have proved much more serious. The driver of a Lloyd & So» truck, Stratford, going north from town, failed to see the noon train for Wingham in time to avoid a smash. The truck ran into the mail car and was turned about, the car on returning in the afternoon bearing evidence of the impact as it was scratched all along the side. The truck then left the pavement and crashing through the railing ran into a sleep ditch and turned over, The dri- ver, Arthro Kirk, and another who were in the truck cab, waned with a few minor bruises. The contents of the truck, vegetables, fruit, etc., were badly scattered and the truck ,.s more or less wrecked. The owners were notified and by . nnid-afternoe» another true camealong at e k and picked p pp most of the load. �� BRLiCEFIELD Mrs. Tom Walker of Chicago and Mrs. Clinton Cook of Brantford were guests at the home of Mrs. Jessie Scott on Wednesday.
