THE SUGAR BEET INDUSTRY The substantial benefits which flow from the beet sugar indus­ try are readily . discernible , to (people living in a community where the industry is establish­ ed. Not so evident Indirect benefits, their value has proved. Lack of more than a 'brief Wherever the beet sugar in­ dustry is permanently establish­ ed, agriculture reaches a’ ‘greater stability than it had before, The raising of sugar beets promotes good farming. Beet production, through the trained men it em­ ploys, has a direct educational value to the community. Beet factories, operating late in the fall, take .up the .slack in em­ ployment of other industries. All business in a community is en­ hanced by a sugar factory, rail­ roads and other carriers receive more traffic, bank clearings are increased and the general pulse of business is quickened. No other crop produces so many food calories per acre as sugar beets. Next week; How many Calories per acre? CANADA AND DOMINION SUGAR CO. LIMITED Chatham Wallaceburg POP’S George D.

Most ron are a mill ■culture ships, including Turn berry, Kijlop, Hullett, and West Wawa- nosh, do not make a levy for the Federation, but instead make a stated grant from municipal funds to the Federation, ■By a .vote of 20 to 6, the di­ rectors decided to ask each of the 16 townships to levy two- fifths of tion. The authority of 1946, ships to Federation levying not more than one-half mill against property owned by farmers; the legislation provides that any taxpayer may avoid -paying the half mill by filing a written objection with the town­ ship clerk. Few Objectors Most of the townships in Perth . and Huron are now making the one-fifth mill levy; experience has been that very few iproperty- owners take the trouble .to make , formal objection to paying the Federation levy along with their regular township taxes. In the case of a farm assessed at $5J10i0, the annual payment ' ‘ “ eration through the township taxes is action taken by the eration is intended the payment in such a $-2.00. It is estimated that fifths mill levy, if it were made uniformly in all of the town­ ships of Huron, would raise more than $12,0010-. Roy Strong, Gorrie, and Ross Marshall, Kirkton, were the pro­ posers of the resolution that township councils be asked to raise two-fifths of a mill for the Federation. A counter-proposal, that the Federation ask for all the half mill that the law allows, was made by Harry Sturdy, Au­ burn, and 'George Feagan, Gode­ rich. Twenty directors .voted for the two-fifths mill proposal; for the half-mill; three, led by W. R. Lobb, Clinton, voted ‘ postpone the decision until bud­ get estimates are ‘ready. “We can’t guarantee that we can get it the same all over the county” commented ;Chas.

It goes beyond that. These people have confidence in the Bank; they know that their money is safe with us, and that they will be fairly treated in their business dealings. We try to keep constantly in mind that the Bank is not primarily an impressive row of figures or an imposing building. We think rather of the Bank as the local man­ ager and his staff, on whom our customers can always call for friendly counsel and service. Our branch-banking system is founded upon this relationship. A man’s relationship with his bank man­ ager is, and should be, a highly personal one. Yet in each of our549 branches, behind this confidential relationship, there stand the resources and stability of a nation-wide, century-old institution. Thus the strength of the institution is linked with human un­ derstanding in the service of the individual. I believe sincerely that this is the spirit guiding our relations with the public today. Without such a spirit, the Bank could not maintain or justify its place in the economy of this country, nor would we be able to give our best to Canada in the years of great promise which lie ahead.
