Elementary classes are up 198 while secondary are down 160.

Bean is proud of the fact Dominion Securities in Exeter offers a full brokerage service, with facilities on a par with those usually found only in much larger centres. Up -to -the - second quotes from the Toronto, Mon- ' treal and Vancouver stock exchanges can be called up. instantly. "There's not another like it that I know of across Canada",Bean states unequivocally. As an independent investment dealer, Bean acts as broker for most mutual funds in Canada. He uses his knowledge of taw laws, information gleaned from financial writers and reports and perusing companies' statements, to advise clients on in- vesting their money. . "When people deposit money in a bank, they are loaning to that bank. I emphasize that people should own the assets and assume the risks themselves. The rewards are greater, and they get more protection from in- flation", Bean says. There are two sides to the coin. "When someone buys stock today and it goes down tomorrow, the client is upset, and I have to live with that", Bean notes. Bean maintains money for invest- ment should be over and above nor- mal living expenses forseen for the next few years. He said people have the perception one needs a lot of money to begin, but you can buy into mutual funds with a minium initial in- vestment of $100. - Bean enjoys what he does. He finds Exchange students the ever-changing market stimulating and challenging. Instead of coping with boring routine, no two days are alike for the investment dealer. Beanbelieves the Moore Insurance Company (in which he is a silent part- ner) fits comfortably under the same roof as the brokerage house. Both are financial operations. One deals with people's day by day insurance needs on cars, homes and other such mat- - ters, and the other with people's surplus cash and long-term. re- quirements. Both deal with people._ And both share office space in a pleasing environment that makes work a pleasure. • • Riddell wins Continued -from front page help our farmers compete against countries who once were our customers.
