"There is still another aspect of mechanical training as applied to agriculture which May be embodied in such national agricultural improve- ment works programs, including rural artisans' services such as carpenters, blacksmith, machinery repair men, plumbers, electricians, and the like. That these have almost disappeared from rural communities has, without doubt, been due to the fact that the farmer has been in no pooltion to carry on such works improvements. If a better agriculture is to be hoped for, which means improvement in our land, buildings, homes and commun- ity centres, and our rural educational institutions, these artisans may well be established es part of our rural structure to the advantage of- the nation EIS a whole." Referring to the need for advanced agricultural college training in the post-war years, Dr. Archibald said the need will be really great for high- class graduate men in industry, based on agricultural products, core practical faruing, more rural educa- tion in schools and high schools, and in many expanded phases of govern- ment activities in post-war works programs. These men will include those requiring the highest type of training in the sciences pertaining 10 agriculture, including many intricate phases of research on which the fut- ure agriculture of Canada is so de- pendent.

A CHARTERED bank is an institution where the IA. details of your bank account are kept secret. It is called "chartered" because its permission to do business and the conditions and restrictions under which it may do business, are contained in a charter granted and kept up-to-date by parliament, the finest democratic free institution of government that man 114s yet devised. This charter is an Act of Parliament laying down all of the condition, which safeguard your money. Ten competing chartered banks are the very opposite of a State Monopoly such as would come about if all the banks were rolled into otm by nation- alization. Under State Monopoly, if you failed to get accommodation at the one bank, you, could not go to any one of nine others to seek it. You can today: • -
