I was buttonholed by a friend the
other day. It was a masterly Hold-
up. I was awfully relieved to find it
wasn't my purse or my life he want-
ed. What he did want was simply a
straight forward answer to a perfect-
ly innocent question. The question
was, "Do you consider yourself a
Wingham Sport Fan?" My reply con-
sisted of the two words, "I do!"
He popped a second question,' this
time on his part of two words too,
"How come?" I wanted to be concise,
so I said "Naturally." "But that won't
do" he retorted. "Kindly elaborate."
"You shall have your reward", I
said, "When I do elaborate, which
usually I don't. I always do so kind-
ly. If I am ever obliged to kill any-
thing. I will do so kindly. Now, to
answer your question. I am a Wing-
ham Sport Fan because, though not
of Horne Brew I have lived in Wing-
ham for a long, long time. Had I
lived in Lucknow or Port Elgin for
a like span of years, I would doubt-
less have been a Lucknow Sport Pan,
or in Port Elgin (though perish the
• thought,) a Port Elgin Sport Fan.
From this you will gather that there
is not much Provincial patriotism in
my blood and that what there is has
been pumped into my veins by arti-
ficial means."
The big question, rhowever, is "what
is a Sport Fan?" My definition of a
Sport Fan is any person who takes
delight in a good fairly played game
and who feels he owes a debt of grat-
itude to all those who participated in
( the entertainment which a good game
provides. There are a good many
folks, I regret to say who pose as
Fans but who have no right whatever
to the title, if my definition is a
telling one. Those folks far from tak-
' ing delight in a good game, do their
utmost to make every game a no good
game, especially when the team they
favor is being well beaten. Then every
play the winning team makes is loud-
ly hissed. The pitcher, in particular
is a fiend! the umpire becomes a
notorious thief. I suggest those so
called Fans should change their title
and adopt a more fitting one, say
"Extinguishers" or "Destroyers" or
perhaps Raisers."
Yours truly,
Jas. G. Webster.

SPEAKER SAYS BANKS
F.1611TIN4 INFLATION
Tn carrying out restrictions on bank
lending, the chartered banks seek to
perserve the lany'ng power of the
dollar in pay envelopes and .shopping
purses, as one factor in a eoncertsd.
national anti,inflationary policy, it
was stated by T. V. Boyer, retir-
ing President of the Canadian Bank,
era,. Association,
.Speaking at the annual meeting of
the association, Mr. Boyer reviewed
the bank credit restrictions first an-
nounced by the Bank of Canada Feb.
22, and urged all Canadians to help
take the pressure off prices by sys-
tematic saving,
"Putting and leaving money in
savings accounts is anti-inflationary
in the absolute," he said, "it is indeed
patriotic in the current situation. I
appeal sincerely for a new and
stronger program of saving by all
Canadians."
He added a warning note that to
preserve the buying power of the
dollar in the hands of the Canadian
consumer, "all of us will have to be
prepared to do and to accept some
things that may be difficult, unpleas-
ant or disagreeable. The national in,
terest demands that we face up to
them."
Canada's problem, said Mr. Boyer,
"is to fit a large defence program—
involving a shift of materials and
labor from normal purposes—into an
economy already close to full employ-
ment; and to do it, if possible„ with-
out serious inflation. To gain success
in this is to ensure for the forseeable
future a high degree of development,
employment and prosperity to this
country. The first home-front battle
in the defence of free democracy is
the fight against inflation.
"The-man-in-the-street, who may
not always know how inflation com-
es, unfailingly knows when. He iden-
tifies it by its main impact on him,
namely: Rising prices of the things
he needs; a growing difficulty in
making ends meet. The dollar in the
pay envelope and in the housewife's
shopping purse buys less and less.
This condition hits first and worst
those who can least afford it—pen-
sioners, people on small fixed incom-
es, bread winners, housewives. The
monthly mounting Cost of Living In-
dex becomes a yardstick of popular
protest and national impatience."
The government chose to resist in-
flation by fiscal and monetary meas-
ures hut, as a banker, Mr. Boyer
spoke particularly of the restrictions
on the expansion of hank lending.
"Early in February," Mr. Boyer
continua, "in discussions between
the Bank of Canada and the char-
tered banks, the Bank of Canada
suggeged, in view of rising demands
for credit which had produced a
rather rapid expansion of bank loans
in the last quarter of 1950 and 1951,
that further e: Mansion of thr volume
of bank ercalit ,vas undesirable and
that steps he taken to arrest it. An-
nouncement in detail, was made by
the Bank of Canada in a press release
February 22.
"The banks concurred, for there is
only one place for the commercial
banks in a situation which is funda-
pay envelope, in the housewife's purse
and in the depositor's bank account.
Canada, being particularly subject to
price pressures from beyond her own
borders, it is clear that domestic pol-
icies may not wholly arrest the rise
in prices, or in the cost of living in-
dex hut without such measures the
rise could conceivably he higher and
faster.
"The public will agree, I am sure;
that it would he unthinkable for us
to ignore monetary anti-inflationary
policies adopted by the national gov-
ernment, or the implementing meas-
ures suggested to us by the Bank of
Canada, which regulates our cash.
Instead we co-operate. Concurring in
the anti-inflationary aim and concur-
ring that some such steps were es-
sential, we undertook to use our best
endeavors to carry out the govern-
ment's wish and the Batik of Can-
ada's suggestions.
"Term loans, that is to say loans to
corporations for one year or more
on debentures, mostly for capital pur-
poses, are halted; margins on brok-
ers' loans have been increased; ex-
pansion of loans to finance compan-
ies is stopped—and all other loans
are scrutinized and held down where-
ver possible,- Loans for spectilatiVe
purposes are no longer made, .Expan;
sio•n of credit for abnormal inventor-
ies and against unduly protracted re-
ceivables, is discouraged Wherever
possible or reasonable. Ahd at the
same time we most assist in finan-
cing defence production_ and do l our
best to meet the ordinary require-
inents of business.

there, but greater consistency may be
expected as time goes on, Meantime
we warmly acknowledge the splendid
co-operation of our borrowing cos,
tomers and their ready understanding
o thef reasons underlying the restric-
tions."
Bank lending in ordinary times, is
the very reverse of inflationary, Mr.
Boyer said and continued, "It is de-
signed to—and it does—facilitate the
production and transfer of goods and
services. It helps to multiply the pro-
duction of the goods consumers need
and expect to purchase, It helps en-
terprise and employment. Bank loans
for working capital normally help to
keep the wheels of production and
"And nobody should run away with
the idea that restriction of bank cre-
dit is either the sole or the greatest
factor in an anti-inflationary pro-
gram. Inflation is a worldwide phen-
omenon. Higher prices in the United
States and in other countries from
which our chief imports come, are an
important influence on prices here.
Contagious spending and buying
sprees by people across the nation,
in fear of shortages, or for sheer
hoarding, can be another factor. Lack
of systematic saving by the people
can be a most potent factor. And
Canada's specific defence spending
program of $1.5 billion a year, can be
a factor of major importance if fiscal
and other counter measures to curtail
credit and to restrict spending should
be inadequate."
