SOUND POLICY PAYS On the front page of this issue is ;axi article that contains goods news for the Hydro users of Winglham. The details of this news we will not repeat oto • any great extent but we wish to make special mention of the ' fact that again this year a 10% rebate is being given on 1934 bills. This is the third year in succession that such a rebate has been given to the electric power users of Wingham h 1 1 things ed States. These five babies sure pack thein in. * Marvin Nelson defeated George Young in a five -mile swim at the Ex- hibitinn.

It shows, however, that United States investors have faith, in the future of our industries. * The Italian delegation at the Lea- gue of Nations walked out at a re- cent meeting. What class of diplom- acy this action belongs to is what the general public would like to know. :i:* * and we wisp to state t rat such The Canadian National Exhibition do not happen by accident. Sound financial policy coupled with good I has closed a most successful year... The Western Fair at London is now in full swing. Do not forget however that our. own Fair will be held in Oc- tober. Boost it and make it bigger and better than ever. se ;k * tie A twenty -foot remodelled lifeboat, piloted by Jack Lodge, Great Lakes and ocean mariner, has set out on a trip around the world. We wonder if he has heard of the tragic death of one, Smith, who left Peterborough in a canoe bound for England. Officials say there is no law to pre- vent Canadian citizens forming fight- ing forces in foreign countries. But why they should wish to do so is more than we can understand. xnanagemenet is necessary so that re- bates are enjoyed by local Hydro us - The local Utilities Commission and the (superintendent are to be congrat- ulated for the efficient manner with ._.which they carry on the business of the Commission. There is not a mun- icipality in the Georgian Bay system that is in better financial position, in regard to Hydro, than. Wingham. The sound policy followed is showing re- sults and the users are reaping the benefit. :tt A SUGGESTION On account of Thanksgiving. Day being changed from a Monday to a Thursday this year there has been a great deal of controversy in the pap- ers and various oganizations as to what day of the week is most suitable for this holiday. It is the opinion of many that two holidays in the fall, Remembrance day and Thanksgiving, is one too many holidays and that they could well be combined. We have before in this column Made a somewhat similar suggestion. If the Sunday nearest to November nth was. designated Remembrance Day, and the following Monday set, aside as Thanksgiving Day, we believe it would meet with general approval. The Sunday would then be given. arp to the honor and glory of those whose gave their lives during the Great War and as a day of general Thanksgiving. Monday would be just another holiday when sports, etc., would bejoyed.

Canadian Churches Against Quick Action by Italy International condemnation of Italy unless she postpones war in Ethiopia while a League of Nations Commis- sion reviews the entire economic and political situation behind the crisis, is favored by a committee of represen- tatives of the churches of Canada. Canada's delegates to the League should urge the appointment of such a Commission, and should join in a protest of all other nations of the civilized world against Italy if the latter power goes to war without first,, awaiting the Commission's finding, the church representatives have ag- reed. C. N. Merkley Wingham Ontario said he was cabling Major C. H. Douglas, the Scottish engineer who founded Social Credit, asking if be had allrthe information he desired be- fore leaving for Canada.

If not, the' information will be supplied to hasten his arrival There. Orillia May Have Municipal Bank Orillia-Mayor J. B. Johnston said "the machinery is all ready to begin as soon as the Council says the word" for the establishment of :a municipal ly owned bank. Mayor Johnston urg- ed establishment of such a bank shortly after his election last winter. It was said a bank allegedly refused to advance money to Orillia until it was satisfied as to the manner in which the money was going to be spent. "There is no reason for us to pay 5 per cent. to borrow money when we can open our own little bank," the Mayor said, "and receive deposits from our taxpayers, pay them 2 per cent. interest, as much as other banks pay them, and save mon- ey by doing it." Founder of Social Credit To Go To Alberta Edmonton -At the conclusion of a Cabinet meeting, Premier Aberhart Aberhart Wants Aid of Banks Edmonton -Premier William Aber - hart, Leader of Alberta's Social Cred- it Government, left for Ottawa to ne- gotiate a loan of $18,000,000 from the Federal Treasury.

In Case of War Want Wealth Conscripted Union Labour in Toronto, through its District Trades and Labor Coun- cil, expressed the fear that war in Ethiopia would involve Great Britain and precipitate - another European conflict. By resolution the Council opposed Canadian participation in any conflict without a vote of the people, and then only if wealth was conscrip- ted and profits denied contractors and munitions manufacturers before the conscription of man power.

A Great Agency of Public Service. The C. N. R. is one of the world's greatest transportation systems. Its length of track alone entitles it to that: distinction, but its chief claim rests upon the nature and extent of the services it readers. While entering practically every important centre in Canada it also serves widely diversified and. distant areas, and in very many instances is the sole agencyproviding railway facilities. The C. N. R. is a large direct employer of labour, and indirectly, by virtue of the nature of its freight and other services, also enters importantly and indis- pensably into the commercial and industrial activities of the Dominion ... creating new wealth ... distributing raw and manufactured goods .. enabling more employment and wages to be provided. Notwithstanding the sparsely populated condition of much of the territory from which the C. N. R. obtains its freights of grains, minerals, forest products, etc., its charges for haulage are very low ... Canadian railway freighe rates are probably the lowest in the world. On an average the C. N. R. receives less than one cent for hauling a' ton of freight one mile. Of every dollar of revenue received the C. N. R. pays more than one half to its employees as wages, and it purchases every year many trillions of dollars worth of Canadian made or produced materials. The C.'N. R. also pays in the course of a year: over six million dollars in various taxes. These facts, although thus briefly stated, are of tremendous importance to Canada - and Canadians. They are here presented in the hope that greater patronage will follow a wider appreciation of the part this great railway system is performing in the commerce and development of the Dominion ... and , of its vast potentialities for future service. Standing as we are at the begin- ning of an upward swing in business generally, renewed and enlarged opportunities to use transportation facilities present themselves. The C. N. R. is ready and anxious to serve ... efficiently and economically. Its departments embrace passenger and freight transportation, express, telegraphs, steamships and hotels.: During the present season the C. N. R. is pro viding special fares and excursions between points. throughout Canada. These are exceptional travel bargains. The nearest C. N. R. Agent will be. glad to give full particulars.
