HERE A suggestion that Seaforth should license certain trades and businesses as a ; protection to local business, was, considered briefly by council at its February meeting Monday night. The question was raised by Council- lor Sills, who presented the following notice of motion: "Take notice that at the next reg ulad meeting of council I will intro- duce a bylaw to license electrical workers,. plumbers tubers scud other trades." Councillor Sills explained that lo- cal businesses were. often deprived of work through •the ,-fact that outside' firms came into town acid competed and at the same time paid no taxes. or .contributed nothing to the town, as was the case with a local man. By a. •system of licensing this could be reg- ulated, he said. Town Solicitor H. G. Meir, who was present, '' outlined the businesses and trades which council had authority to license under the Municipal Act. The matter will be fully discussed when the•bylaw comes before council at its next' meeting. Members of council were all pres- ent at the meeting and Mayor J. J. Cluff presided. .

He was speaking on behalf of the War Savings . Campaign. ' Warning that the only way to avoid depression after the war was to save the increased' income received) now as a result of war expenditures, the speaker said, that in, a year's time nearly one-half of Canada's national income would be devoted to war pur- poses. "If we try to have abnormally good times now- we will have abnormally bad times after the war," Mr. Murray said. "I advise you to save this ex- tra money." One of three things .must happen, he condi:wed. Either you save and lend everything possible, or . (2) it is taken from you in taxes, or (3) we have inflation where you- pay $2.00 for an article that 'is basically' worth only $1.00. President 3. A.
