One of these is the Chapel of St. James in the village of Nether Warton, Oxfordshire. Its lead roof, originally laid in 1665, brought -4478 as scrap -- enough to pay the whole cost of in -stalling the new' roof.

Editor,- The ,Huron Expositor: Dear Sir: Your leading editorial (Temporary . Evils) dealing with British -Canadian commercial rela- tions was a dandy; is decidedly timely and worthwhile getting on- to the record, From my angle, the following few lines from the above verbal scene are admirable and merit the attention of all concern- ed. Most Canadians are: "As Mr, Howe (Canada's 'rrade Minister) says, it is en- couraging that these restric- tions are universally recogniz- ed as nothing better than nec- essary evils, and that they will ultimately be removed. In the meantime, Canada is ready and willing to buy British goods. No country in the world has fewer quantitative restrictions on trade or with lower rates of duty." It seems to this reader that the above is the appropriate note for a businessman to strike. As you nicely put the natter, "the Mini -- ter of Trade is, above all, a man of business." My intuition makes it reasonably clear that the currency problem—I S..shop atthesign of Coke and Food Hot -weather meals perk right up with ice-cold Coke.

Ae a result, SS. 1, ,Hibbert, which has been closed for'the past seven or eight years, owing to scarcity of children, will open its doors was going to term it a 'muddle' but, probably, 'inconvertibility' is the more accurate description—is the chief obstacle to be hurdled, or re- moved from the North Atlantic trade stream, as between British and Canadian ports. Naturally, 1 haven't the foggiest idea of the basic technique to at- tain this aim. If I had, I would•,not be long on the farm. But I confess •being a .bit disappointed ata the apparent inability of our brightest flueneia] brains (on both sides of the Atlantic) to devise a practic- able mechanism for the removal of this currency obstacle, which is do- ing 'such obvious damage to the normal trade channels, and seems to play so directly into -the hands oethe police states and' the poten- tial enemies of freedom, Unfortunately, our Tory friends— notably the opposition leader, Mr. Drew—can be •relied upon to use the inconvertibility problem as a political weapon, in their desperate hunger for administrative ,control; though I have the distinct impres- sion that they have as much idea of a solution as I have, with the sky the only limitation on promis- es 'high, wide and handsome.'
