"Progress- along this line in the'
past two years has been steady, but
exceedingly low," he went on. "It
must be expedited if the western
world is to make continued pro-
gress, if the bounties of nature and
enterprise are to be shared' and( dis-
tributed as they should. Shortsight-
ed trade policies, a determination
to preserve exclusive markets, can
rip the world apart just as surely
as war or pestilence."

Mr. Gillett, who is concluding a
two-year term as president of The
'Canadian Bankers' Association, ob-
served that "economically, as well
as politically,the world seems to
have become a different place in
these last two years." In that per,

Two years ago, Mr. Gillett re-
called, "everybody wonderedwhe-
ther., the world might catch tire
a cin from the- blase that had been
raging for a year in Korea. Every-'
nue was trying to buy everything
while .there might be time --inventor-
les ballooned, commodity prices
soared and there was speculation
on ail sides on the . possibility of
another great spurt,, of inflation.'
' Since then, the universal seller's
• market has turned into something
much more like a general buyer's
market, and therefore much more
normaI."
Agriculture Still Basic
Wlhile agriculture still was the
basic segment of Canada's national
wealth, "a great change has come
over our economy and we are
emerging as one of the great in-
dustrial nations," he said. He noted
that for five consecutive years
Canada had devotggd to capital in-
vestment, more Gran a fifth of its
gross national product, "a rate few
nations could duplicate." Mr. Gil-
lett stressed that a high level of
capital investment was essential to
a growing, developing nation like
Canada and noted that Canadians
had provided all but five per cent
of the $24 billions which had been
invested in Canada in the seven
postwar years.
"Capital investment," he said,
"provides new equipment which,
in turn, means more efficient pro-
duction, new factories built and
new resources tapped, which, in
turn, mean better employment pro-
; spects in the future,"

Mr. Gillett observed that in the
midst of all this well-rounded, bal-
anced and sometimes spectacular
economic expansion, and a part of
it, stood the Canadian banking sys-
tem. "Canada has taken gigantic
economic strides in recent years,
but at no time has the banking sys-
tem tailed to keep pace," he said.
"We pride ourselves that the Cana-
dian banking system is one of the
most flexible in the world. Today
it is stronger, more stable and it
serves more customers and pro-
vides a wider range of services
than ever before."
Welcomes New Banks
Commenting on the Association's
standing offer of reward for infor-
mation leading to the arrest and
conviction of bank robbers, Mr. Gila
lett noted: "Fortunately, there has
been some abatement of this type
of crime during the past year, but
it is interesting to note that $57,-
159 was paid in rewards and gratui-
ties during that time."
In commenting briefly on the
activities of the Association, Mr.
Gillett said that perhaps its most
important function was acting "as
a link between the banks and the
government in all matters where
the government would otherwise
require to deal with each bank in-
dividually." The same thing applied
to a lesser degree with respect to
the provincial governments. "1n all
matters relating to the financial
well-being of the country, co-opera-
tion has been full and unstinted,"
he emphasized.
Mr. Gillett said his last act as
president was "to welcome the
prospect of an eleventh member to
our circle—the Mercantile Bank of
Canada, for whichP arliament has
seen fit to grant a banking char-
ter. This, 1 am sincerely happy to
do."

The Chateau Frontenac made an imposing background as the Empress of Australia, making
her first westbound voyage, passed Quebec City on her way up ti e St. Lawrence River to Mont-
real. The 19,600 -ton vessel was purchased by Canadian pacific steamships to ,replace the Empress
of Canada, destroyed by fire at her Liverpool dock last January. She was formerly the 'De Grasse'
of the French Line. This is the first of 10 round trip voyages between Liverpool and Montreal
which this vessel will make during the present season of St. Lawrence navigation,
the house where Mrs. Gillespie liv-
ed till she, Neil and family moved
to Seaforth in 1917. This part was
torn down by John Wallace a num-
ber of years ago. The original
house, built late in 1856, is still in
use, but some changes were made
on it while James Gillespie was
still there. The first frame barn
was struck by lightning and burn-
ed on September 27, 1877. A bucket
brigade saved the log barn, which
was filled with grain. This fire was
the first loss paid. by Usborne and
Hibbert Mutual Fire Insurance
Company, which had been organiz-
ed on May 20, 1876. Later, while
Russell Scott was the owner, El-
mer Colquhoun, Frank Stagg and
Jack Trivett all lived in the house.
It was while Frank Stagg lived here
that his wife dropped dead on the
intersection in Cromarty village in
June, 1932.
Alex Ferguson also took up the
West 50 of Lot 17 and lived there
with his parents till late in 1856.
John Ferguson, the father, called
"Craig Darrock," was a Scottish
Highlander from Craigdarreck,
Scotland. He spoke the Gaelic as
several others in the community
did. He claimed relationship with
the Annie Laurie of the well-known
Scottish song of that name. It was
he who first displayed the British
flag in ,Cromarty, This was in 1853.
Alex's':. brother, Duncan, died on
April 15, 1857, and in January,
1858,' she sold this 50 to William
Harris, who later became interest-
ed in cheesemaking. In the early
70's Harris sold to James Gillespie.
At ibis time 'Tom Swan moved into
the Harris house and he was fol-
lowed by "Big". Joe Hoggnrth. who
had just married the first of his
three Mary's. They lived here till
1877. Shortly after, this house was
torn down. From this time on this
50 has been owned and rented by
the same ones who had the East 50:
Occupants—East 50: Alex Fergu-
son, James Gillespie, Neil Gilles-
pie, Percy Miller, Robert Gardiner.
Russell Scott, John Wallace. West
50: Alex Ferguson, William Harri-.
Jams Gillespie. All others were
the same.- as those who hail the
East 50.'

Visitor: "But there', nobody -

Artist: "Ah, that's the realism."
Lot 17
Alex Ferguson, a native of the
Town of Perth, who came to Hib-
bert from Lanark County, took up
the East 50 of Lot 17 in the early
50's. He lived with his parents and
his brother, Duncan, on the West
50, which he also owned, till he
built here in 1856. This house-
s -aiming took place early in 1857.
About this time he married Janet
Brodie, a native of Glasgow, Soot -
land. They had no family. Alex
had a habit of frequently using
"By jolly" in his conversation. His
minister, Rev. John Fotheringham,
reminded' him one day that it
wasn't a nice expression to use. "I
know." said Alex, "that I shouldn't
say it; but by jolly I can't help it!"
It was in Alex Ferguson's barn the
church services were held while
the stone church was being built
in the summer of 1864. Fergusons
lived here till they sold to James
Gillespie in 1869. James Gillespie,
often called "The Dominie," taught
in the old East School from Janu-
ary, 1857, till December, 1868. He
was also a weaver in Scotland and
after he came to this farm he
wove a type of blanket different
from other weaves, which had
wonderful wearing qualities. Some
of these blankets are still in use.
James Gillespie was a native of,
Glascon, Scotland, and married Ag-
nes McKellar in Dalhousie. They
had 10 children, namely: John,
Donald, Agnes (Mrs. Tom Tod -
hunter), Jim, Bella (Mrs. Robert
Purdon), Duncan, Hngii, Neil, Mary
and Jessie. It was when Neil,
their eighth child, was born, that
James Gillespie's salary was raised
from $300 to $320 for his teaching
services in the Old East School.
Jessie, the youngest, was a favor-
ite with all—the did, the middle-
aged and the young. •S+he-as..well
described by One of her nephews
'lvhen he made this remark: 'cif
Aunt Jessie were put in a 10 -acre
field with no one in it in the morn-
ing, by night She would have a
crowd gathered aroudd her." ?hen
