Although a rather search- ing survey of the field has been made, to date the committee has not yet been able to secure the required leaders. "Too busy" and, "I don't know anything about it" have been the favourite answers. The NEWS -RECORD publishes this appeal in the hope that it may not fall upon deaf ears. What is needed is a permanent organ- ization to carry on the fine work started dur- ing the past few months, ' We feel certain that Mr. Grigg would be more than delighted to have the offer of assistance from any inter- ested parties in carrying 'on this fine boys' work in Clinton and district. WANTED - Immediately, two young men with the desire the serve the youth of this community eas Scoutmaster and As- sistant Scoutmaster in the Boy Scout Movement in Clinton. No monetary re- ward offered; only the satisfaction of do- ing a good job for the boys, their parents, and the community as a whole. Previous experience unnecessary provided applicants have the will to learn. Apply Gladstone • Grigg, committee chairman, Clinton. THE "ADVERTISEMENT" published above might well have appeared elsewhere in this paper, for it states, in brief form, what hap- pens to . be a pressing need in Clinton at the moment.. During the past year, the Boy Scouts have been served well by Flying Officer W. John P. Robertson as Scoutmaster, and Flying . Of- ficer Hugh Paterson as Assistant. Both these gentlemen, during their residence in quarters on RCAF Station, have devoted many hours of their time to the re -organization of the local troop end to the successful operation of it. Now, the time has come for them to leave a Our Expanding Programme AGAINST THE PRESENT world back- ground, controls can at best play only a sec- ondary part in the defence programs of the United States and Canada, the Bank of Mont- real comments in its latest Business Review. . The primary emphasis must be "on increased productivity and on fiscal and monetary policies." The B of M, reporting on "the pattern of economic readjustment to the needs of the expanding defence program" observes that the interest of Canadian Business in• government actions to divert manpower and materials from civilian to military uses and to ease shortages and rising prices is not confined to domestic affairs. "So closely integrated are the economics of Canada and The United States, and so de- pendent are many of their industries on com- mon sources of .basic materials,,that the prob- lems which will arise, the measures which will be adopted and the concern of business enterprise with both, will tend inevitably to be continental rather than national in scope." Stressing the "paramount long-range im- portance" of the Washington Agreement of October 26, for economic cooperation between the United States and this country, the B of M notes that the pact refers only to coordination of controls over the distribution of scarce items. Neither nation is committed to "a meticulous . matching" of techniques in this regard. "Implicit in this is the recognition that in Canada, with its relatively small population and high degree of industrial integration, a great deal may be accomplished by informal arrangement which in a much larger and more complex economy could be achieved only through formai restrictions." The bank finds that emergency measures effected by Canada and the U.S., apart from the Agreement, exemplify similarities of under- lying principle. as well as differences of scope and techniques. Both nations have taken steps to tighten export controls, curb the vigorous upward trend of residential building and re- strict consumer credit. "In summary, it is apparent that in both countries the tendency thus far has been `to make cautious and peacemeal use of restrictive devices' rather than to rush headlong into an all -embracing system of control of produc- tion, prices and wages of the nature employed in World Was II. "And while the pattern is still evolving, it is presumably recognized that there are fundamental differences .between measures es- sential and effective in an all-out war ef- fort and those appropriate to a situation which may involve a high level of military pre- paredness for many years. "Against the present background, controls can, at best, be of only secondary significance. The primary erriphasis must be on increased productivity and on fiscal and monetary pol- icies which will check inflationary pressures at their source." Can't Overlook Agriculture BECAUSE AGRICULTURE still is the country's greatest basic industry, in which one-third of the nation's population is directly engaged, no businessman can afford to leave it out of his calculations, declares The Finan- cial Post. The housewife who buys food, the railwayman who hauls wheat, apples, potatoes or livestock, the packer who processes meat, the miller' who makes flour -all of these and Ta many more have a vital interest in the for- tunes of the farther. The past ten years -have been exceptionally prosperous ones for farming. Generally both prices and production have been high. Costs, of course, have been high also, though improved methods and especially greater mechanization have so far prevented any very serious squeeze.

VOICE OF TEMPERANCE On ,november 28, the citizens of Orillia voted on the question as to whether the town is to remain dry as it has been for 42 years or whether it is to go wet with the introduction of a liquor store and brewer's warehouse. One of the arguments of the wets was°that liquor stores would help the tourist trade. The answer to that argument was given in a statement signed by 21 district resort operators. "One of the greatest attractions Orillia has, to both the, hotel owners and their guests, is the fact that it is one of the few towns left that is not cursed by the presence of a brewer's store."
