we were about to throw it into

it might be interesting to see
how the Bay St. Boys work to

WE have been especially int-
erested in this racket since we
learned that a number of people
in this area have been taken in

Town of Clinton
FIRE PREVENTION
WEEK
OCTOBER 7-13, 1951
I hereby request the sincere effort on the part of
the Citizens of Clinton to remove all fire hazards.
The present low insurance rates, which this Town
enjoys, ore due to carfulness on the part of our
Citizens, and the efficiency of our Fire Department.
Carelessness on our part con cause the loss of
human lives.
REMOVE THE HAZARDS AND
HELP PREVENT FIRES!

cost plenty), gave a glowing
description of the properties
which had been leased , . In
regards to oil, the property is
in the "general" area of the larg-
est producer in Alberta fields
and an added inducement is that
oil is found in shallow depths
and that wells may be complet-
ed in a matter of weeks -and a
fraction of the cost of deeper
fields , , How they know alI
this when there is no producing
well in the area, is a mystery
And if it is as good as port -
ratted why they need to send
out literature to every Tom, Dick
and Harry in Canada and U.S. is
beyond our comprehension ,
Yeti' would think shares would
all be grabbed up by those in
"the know" , ,
AND those gold properties , , ,
Again they are right neat door
to producing mines , . . There is
a map to prove it , , But if
you put on your reading spec-
tacles, you see in very fine
print --so easily overlooked, that
maps are drawn from information
believed to be reliable, but in
dividual ownership and exact lo-
cations are not certified . . Now,
what does that mean? , , ,
* t: 'e
THEN, there is a "come-on"
letter from the president of the
company stating ,you have been
selected to be given the oppor-
tunity of getting in on the ground
floor at a low cost per share , , .
Also enclosed is a card an which
you can reserve as few as 100
shares and not more than 1,000,
You do not send any money -this
card is not forcing you to buy -
apparently you ere only seeking
additional information. We have
been awfully tempted to send it
in to see what would happen
next The only reason we
don't is that we haven't time to
be hounded by salesmen and
literature . . Ah, well, we had
an interesting half-hours' read-
ing...
'k x T
THE moral of all this is sad , , ,
There is no doubt that Candia
has wonderful natural resources,
the large part still undeveloped
Capital is needed to do it
and the more Canadian capital
that is used, the less depdns ent
we are on our great neighbour
to the south . . Canada needs
speculators with a few hundred
or a few thousand dollars .
But we mean speculators , , , If
you need your money invested
for income purpose, to put money
in undeveloped properties, which
may or may not pay off within
the next ten years, is like throw-
ing it out the window ,
IF you do have a few hundred
