PROSPECTS ARE. ENCOURAGING
Zt Was recently our pleasure to
attend, a function in Windsor, when
the Chrysler Corporation of Canada
.:Limited exhibited • its 1959 model
cars for members of the press, TV
'and "radio. Not only was the hos-
pitality of Chrysler most _enjoyable,.
but for oitr- own part we left Wihd-
-Sor with a little more optimistic view
of Caanda and its economic future.
Ron W, '1'0dg-ham, president of
Canadian Chrysler, described his
company's attitude as one of "can-,
dais optimism", • -
Speaking of business in general.
and more particulaily as it applied
to all-important automotive indus-
try, Mr. Todgham said, "Our most
reliable forecasters • tell - that we
have passed the low point in the.
recession and that the - economy is
again on the way up.
• ,"We certainly do not look for
any •boom 'in the foreseeable future.

is impossible to visit Canadian cities by f acts,
today—especiallY those in Western
Canada—and to talk with 'Canadian
businessmen without becoming in-
fected with the virus of optimism..

may have full opportunity to enjoy

Indeed it was the thought of the
students which had much to do with
the final decision. Admittedly, we
„ are nOt a nation of opera lovers, but
we have little chance of appreciating
anything more than rock Pn' roll and
western ballads in the future if no

are invariably prolonged by what
can only be termed-a state of mind.

Assets of these banks increased by

"The index of selected industrial
stocks on the Toronto stock ex-
change was. up from 330 to 463 ; in
Montreal the index of utilities was
up from 87 to 140; the index of divi-

six years from 244 to 308; and the
index of national industrial produc-

To many of us who never deal in
big' figures the above quotations
may seem abstract, but the Chrysler
president's studies have been devot-
ed to those factors in the Canadian
economy which are so basic that
they are impo71-tant to every man and

FRESH OPPORTUNITIES
It is to be hoped that registration
last evening for night classes at the
high school was full. These classes
do offer an unequalled chance to en-
rich 9ne's skill and knowledge.
What manypersons fail to realize
that formal education during our
early years should have 'eft nn each
one of tis A desire for even more ex-
tensive wisdom. These night classes
provide a chance to broaden our in-
terests and our abilities.
If you haven't already done so it
would he well to look up last week's
paper, in which, a front page story
tells of the various studies you might
undertake during the winter itionths,

THIRTY YEARS ON THE. JOB—John Walker has •beenadeliVeiring
mail, to the 68 boxbolders on Rural Route 4,1Wingbam, for thelpast 30
Years. His route extends for 25 miles: iu the • townshiPs of Turnberry'
and Morris. Mr. Walket.afarmed in the.foriner township until he took
over the route and moved into %%Ingham; Var,,the first eight years 'he
travelled' entirely by horse power and used 'the horse in the winter
months until last spring, when, he regretfully sold his 12-year-old, animal
and took to the car year-round, Three times in the past 30 years:he
was involved in car-vs.-horse accidents, 'one of them resulting 'in a
broken back, from which he has never fully recovered, That was the
only occasion on whialt he ever failed to cover his, route-because of
illness, Mr. Walker can recall several , times when high water forced
'him to take to the fields, the farmers along the Way taking down
fences to let him through with the mail.—Advane,e-Times photo.
