But while there is life there is hope; and it is still possible to halt this inflation if we determine to do it, and resolutely apply the remedy. Our trouble, is that we, the people. don't look on this as our personal fight. W e look on it as a government rebponsibillty, and we seem to think H ie government can effectively deal with it by passing a law and issuing a few orders. THE RURAL SCENE By E. 4, Young INVLATION CAN BE CRECKE'D An honest dollar is one that can't be diluted by the issuing authority. We seem to be progressing back- wards in our fight against inflation. Our dollar has already lost half its value. The cost of living is still rising and everybody is demanding more of the things that cause it to rise—higher wages, shorter hours, higher prices for everything we produce, and more government handouts that can be paid only by still further inflating the The same condition obtains in the United states, where they have price cf ,ntrol. ,tn,1 in Great Britain. where dar Hasetrove's SMOKE SHOP Smokers' SUNDRIES - for MAGAZINES SOFT DRn',7;Tc..S Afternoon Teas make friendly entertainment YOU EXPECT the men and women in your local bank to be skilled, courteous, interested in their work and in you.

The authors and publishers request the pleasure "of your company on a tour of Ontario in your car. The second largest of Canada's pro- vinces, Ontario, has much to offer to the visitor. IL has history: here in what was once Upper Canada, the real foundations of modern Canada were laid. It has scenery, a fasein- ; ating SU'P'S SiOn of plains. hills, and valleys, of forest and farmland, of ' lakes and rivers, To the sportsman it offers fishing, and hunting in readily leeessible shots, To the athlete it promises swimming, and boating, golf and football and winter sports. For • tivis.• who like nature unadorned, there are the northern camps. For the sophisticated there are luxury re- , sorts and the cities to the south, For every visitor everywhere in Ontario, there is all the warmth and friendli- ness of a Canadian welcome. John and Marjorie Mackenzie, who wrote Ontario in Your Car, have known the province all their lives. They have travelled its highways and byways, cruised on its lakes, paddled its rivers, fished its streams, played its golf courses, and stayed in its ho- I tels and resorts. Now they have pool- ed the knowledge that their tra- velling has brought them with their • reading of history, to produce the best guide book of Ontario yet pub- lished. The book is Illustrated by ,photographs taken by the authors. Ontario in Your Car is much more than a conventional guide hook. It organizes tours, indicates routes, • marks sites of tourist interest, recom- mends hotels and resorts, and erects signposts to the best fishing and hunt- ing and sport, All of these bear the stamp of personal investigation and recommendation. But, not content with this alone, the authors have also told the story of their province. You will travel its highways and paddle its streams and lakes in a goodly and gallant company of adventurers. You will have as companions on the way the men and women who discovered and settled Ontario and wrote its history: Champlain, Etienne Emile, Troyes and dTherville; the charming Mrs. Simcoe, the colorful eccentrics, Tiger Dunlop and Colonel Talbot, the literary Stricklands and Anna' Jame- SPECIAL LOW RAIL FARES ROYAL AGRICULTURAL WINTER FAIR TORONTO NOV. 13-21 FARE AND ONE-HALF FOR THE ROUND TRIP Good going—November 12th to November 21st inclusive.

[ There is reason to believe that our greed for more spending money and our hostility towards higher taxes to cover the cost of the defence pro- gram, are forcing the government to more inflation in its efforts to give us lrllat we want as well as what we need. • The only remedy for this situation is self-discipline. If everyone of us would work harder, produce more, [ buy only what we really need, spend [ less than we earn, save our money in spite of the fact that it is losing Its value, and vote against every poli- tician who promises something for noth' might convince the gov- ernment that we view this inflation seriously and we expect it to do the [ same. When once we have demonstrated that We are not children to be pamp- ered, but men to be depended on, with judgment and wills of our own and the fortitude to face the situation that confronts us, then we can expect the government to pluck up its cour- ae and do its part also.
