The Wingham Advance-Times, 1960-05-04, Page 2PO O TM Ii Advasse-Illtna WO oosSaYill,lay #14.0.49- BEWARE OF RACKETS might be victimized by the new rash of swindles which is currently sweep- ing the country. We have to be careful because the crooked adver- tisers are quite definitely attempting to trade upon the solid atmosphere of reliability which we have attempt- ed to incorporate into this news- paper. Unfortunately we have no doubt excluded the advertisements of some perfectly honest firms in the process, but where no - proof of responsible. honesty is provided we feel we have no choice. Now all this is not presented merely to tell you what fine, upstanding types we are at The Advance-Times, Rather we would warn you against some of the ads which do appear from time to time, Last- week we published one such advertisement which was a sort of borderline case. Since no payment was requested from those answering we took a chance— but that could come. later in a direct letter to the person who replies. We have no de- sire to penalize any advertiser who is honest and abovle board, nor to, limit employment opportunities for any of our readers by withholding the ad- vertising. Therefore, • we will con- tinue to eliminate those messages which seem definitely untrust- worthy, but we 'would advise our readers to be particularly cautions in their dealing's with unknown firms. If the advertiser is reliable he will not resent your request for full proof of business dependability. WELCOME DROP? In the current confusion over the exact - strength of duration of • to- day's economic expansion, perhaps the best news on the business front is the persistent .downtrend in the premium on the Canadian dollar, de- clares Dalton Robertson in The Fi- nancial Pbst. Every cent that it drops spells a bigger return for Canadian expor- ters and easier competition for Ca- nadian 'producers who compete in the denneStie market with imported items. There's no speculation in the fi- nancial community that' the high- riding premium. has finally come to a turning point. But in this very Volatile, very unpredictable area,. it's anybody's guess whether this is more than a temporary dip. There is, however one sign that a. fitrther decline might be in store: There are fewer Canadian com- panies, municipalities and provinces now negotiating in New York to raise money than at any time in sev- eral months. This could portend a flirther • decline:: The flow of ITS, funds brought into Canada by Ca- nadian borrowers last year was the largest single factor keeping the • 195-9 permium on the Canadian dol- lar Up between 4% and 5%. MAKES SENSE Recently we published a letter from Elmer Farrish, of Gorrie, in which he suggested that if at all possible the old county home build- ing at Clinton should be retained for use as emergency shelter, preferably under the control of the civil defence authorities, To us the latter made good sense. Within recent years, since we have all been so flushh with funds— if not personally, at least municipal- ly — there has been a tremendous vogue to put up grand new structur- es and tear down the old ones,' We will not quarrel with the need for new public buildings to meet the needs of an expanding society, but - the blood of a penurious Scottish grandsire rebels when the bulldozers go to ;work on the sound buildings which. have served so well. There may be valid reasons why the old county home, should be re- moved. Neither Mr. Famish nor thin writer are members of the., county home committee, but we do feel that if such reasons exist they should be carefully examined before destruc- tion is started. Buildings, heaven knows, are expensive, and though the one in question is no longer use- ful for its .origipal purpose, there may be other needs to which it can be accommodated in the future, Most honest newspaper publish- ers are having nightmares the past few months. Since we must, like yourselves, eat and pay the boys in the back shop on Friday night, we find that paid advertising is more important than ever. At the same time we are throwing out a sizeable wad of ads each week becsIse they sound phoney to us. We could show you an interest- ing collection of classified ;.-islvertis- ing copy (about $2(0 worth) which was ordered for insertion in The Advance-Times, but which we judg- ed ru be dubious in nature, Some of these ads ask. that interested parties accept positions as specialized sales help, to earn not less than $5,000 per year. Others offer a new electric sewing machine, used only a . few months, for the balance of payment ',wing, perhaps $39.5o. In Many cases Alley also ask that the person responding to the advertisement for- ward money (as much as $1,200 in same cases) to. purchase a stock of goods for resale. We have deliberately held these ads out of our columns because we felt that there was soh fie poSsjbility that one or more of our readers FILLING THE GAP We had an interesting conver- sation with a voting couplerecently. They had attended a 'meeting of the Couple's. Club of the United Church, at which Envoy Stanley Newman of the Salvation Army was the speaker. These young people told us that after they were home that night they felt so impressed by the magnitude of Salvation Army work that .they decided they would make every ef- fort to sharply increase their con- tribution to the Red Shield campaign which takes place this month. The Salvation Army is, no doubt, guilty of some shortcomings, but the only one that we know of is in failing to. publish more information aboitt the thousands of vital tasks Completed year in and year out: Those of us who attend other Afitith'eS• are. inclined to :think th'at the sticky social problems, such as unwed mothers and friendless delin- quents, impoverished alcoholics and wayward teen-age girls, are all in the big cities. Because the Salvation Army goes quietly about is-work and never mentions the name-or-ad- -dress of any ,one of its hundreds of unhappy recipients, few , of us are aware that all these troUbles exist right in our midst, Similarly, not many know that the Salvation Army officer' spends hundreds oftrottrs a',.yeay in homes where tragedy:injts most:ugly form. is present- 'and "in Miitt raorns and. prison cells. In - a large percentage of the cases handled there is never even a thank you for all the trouble involved, - The Salvation Army undertakes, cheerfully, those tasks which the rest of us are too blind or too lazy to worry about. None of us would want to neglect the more unfortun- ate members of society, but we are awfully happy to have the Salvation Army take the responsibility. Since that is the case, it behooves us to do what we can to aid the or- ganization and the workers who so willingly 'and unselfishly assume the burdens which are just as mach ours as theirs. When yon are asked to contribute to the Red Shield fund, don't cloak yourself in the old gown of self-righteousness and recount the tale of how much you already give to your own church, Your donation to Red. Shield covers a vast range of social welfare work and if money is -ali you are asked to give you are getting off very lightly, Just re- member those words, "T was a stranger and ye took me naked and' ye clothed me. T was sick and ye visited me. I was in prison and ye came unto me." The Wingham Advance.Times Published at Wingham, Ontario Weriger brothera, Publishera W.

Blaster Day the Chris- •tian preacher proclaims to hla bearers the Resurrection of Jeans Christ from the dead, his preaching, is in line with that of the Brat Christian missionaries. For "Jesua two. the resurreetion" was the wily heart of the apostolic: proclatim. lion. A eareful •examination of time sermons preached by time apostles as recorded In the Acts of A.posalea makes this clear. The resurrection. of the Lord was the core and err Max. of every Hermon. And yet it 'weds to he remem- bered that the apostles did not preach the Resurrection of .Testis itself as a mere fact, what they preached was the .aoapel of the th-aarreetion. The Resurrection was not an afterthought on the part of the apostolic church it is the very sum and substance et the Christian message, The plain fact is that if ,Testis Christ had not risen from the dead, the apostles would have bad nothing' worth preach log.

None of our •govern- ments-federal, provincial or mu- nicipal -knows . much about it, wants any responsibility for it, or is anxious to help finance it. This Civil Defense outfit sug- gests building bomb shelters, ex- plains about fallout, publishes pamphlets, tells people in the cities to head for the country when the ho drops, and. has confer- ences at, which speakers urge action. A. few people work hard to make something of it, But it has limited. funds and little eneouragement, title to piddle and .government apathy. As a result, our CIVil De- fense Is about as useful an article as a. lock for the door of a barn from which a house tuts just escaped. Just to show you how useless Civil Defense is, I'm writing Oda by candlelight, because the power went off during an electrical storm. My furnace is off and 'the house grows colder. My refrigerator is off and the beer _grow,. warmer. My stove is off and I can't even make a cup of tea to buck me up. Do you know what Civil Defense Is doing about this? Nothing. No- body has been around with lan- terns, hot coffee or emergency sandwiches. Nobody has called to tell me why the lights are out, or what's being done to get the power on. In fact; a few minutes ago, I called. Ottawa and asked for the head of Civil Defense. I asked him a few pointed questions, and the only answers he'd give me were .pretty rude ones', Of course it was 1 aan., and he'd been asleep.
