A business deal of some in- terest took place this week when Walter Eckel, proprietor of Eckel's Bakery, Zurich, pur- chased the business in Zurich known as Willert's Bakery, from Leeland Willert. Mr. Willert has accepted a position with Mr. Eckel. A heavy loss occurred at the farm of Roy Gingerich, Hay Township, on Saturday .about noon, when an aeroplane from RCAF Station Centralia crashed on his property alongside his barn.

That's polite language. There are other words which couldn't be seen in print, or heard on radio and television, to describe that cor- poration. Why all the fuss? Miss La - Marsh pointed out that the re- ports the present government and earlier governments have commissioned over the past few years have indicated rotten management. The outgoing CBC president, J. Alphonse Ouimet, and Miss LaMarsh exchanged sharply - worded letters, He demanded she substantiate her charge. She refused, saying she was re- sponsible only to the prime minister and parliament. It's time to forget about poli- tics while the new broadcasting act is being discussed on the floor of the House of Commons. The Liberals and the Conserva- tives have both been in power since the Act was born. Both parties are responsible for the present condition of the CBC. When and if the new CBC Bank of Montreal Releases Volume Two of History A most unusual and interest- ing story of a facet of Canada's growth through the last 150 years has just been completed with the publication of the sec- ond and final volume of "Can - I ada's First Bank". This history of the Bank of Montreal is a unique recount- ing of an aspect of this coun- try's growth that is little known. Such a history is bound to re- veal sidelights of past events and insight into personalities which might otherwise be for- gotten. As history, Canada's First Bank is an intriguing view of the role played by bankers, businessmen, traders, builders and other men of vision and enterprise who con- tributed greatly to Canada's de- velopment through the demand- ing times of the last 150 years. Written, by Merrill Denison, the noted business historian, this latest volume of Canada's First Bank should receive the critical acclaim which was ac- corded Denison's first volume on its appearance just a year ago. If anything, Volume II is more engrossing and informa- tive than its companion book. Author Denison paints his pic- ture of the Bank of Montreal's role against a broad background of historical events, both do- mestic and foreign. Beginning with the St. Law- rence -Great Lakes canal system, following the 1841 union • of up- per and lower Canada, the im- pacts of foreign wars, depres- sions at home and abroad, the achievement of Confederation, building of the transcontinental railway and the ups and downs of the years between World Wars—panorama of Canadian development is told through the records of the Bank of Montreal. Lovers of Canadiana will president is appointed, there will probably be some sweeping changes. There should be many. But isn't there a simpler and much 'better way out of this mess? Didn't someone in the House of Commons say "let's sell the CBC"? That is the best and most sensible solution. The people in Canada con- tribute $160 million .a year to the CBC. There isn't a reason in the world why the CBC shouldn't make a profit—and a big one—each year. A saving of $160 million could mean tax reductions for all Ca- nadians. :k * o The Lucy Show took over first position in the latest Niel- sen rating.
