ATKEY - - - - - - Editor and Publisher Ontario-Quebee Division, CWNA THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1946 PURCHASE LIMIT SET AT $2,000 The mth it for purchases of e new Canada. Savings limit Bond by individuals has now been set at $2,000. Purchases of the new security may only be made in the name of ,inclividuals and not in the name of firms, institutions, or in trust for second parties. The decision to place a limit on purchases by individ- uals bears out a statement made by the Minister of Finance to the House of Commons last June. Mr. Ilsley pointed out at that time tthat, sirite the terms of the Canada Savings Bond would be more favourable than those available for cornpera;ble securities at the kerne of issue, it would be . necessary to regirict individual holdings. If no limit were set, the new security would naturally be purehased in volume by institutions and larger investors for whom it is not intended. The Canada Savings .Bond is designed solely as a personal savings facility. All Canada ,Savings Bonds will be registered as to principal. This registration is made necessary by ehe neel to control holdings, but will offer protection to holders against loss of their investment at the same time. Further, bends may be registered in the name of minors es wen as adults. It is probable that many purchases will be register- ed in the names of children and others by those who wish to take added advantage of the invehtment oppontunity but who would otherwise be restricted to the $2,000 limit on purchases in their own name. An unusual feature of the new bonds is the privilege of turning them into cash at any time for full face value, plus intereet, at any bank. While the interest rate is ex- pected to be considerably better than is available for other forms of saving and more favouraJble than that of cont. parable investments, at the Eine of issue, the exact terms of the Canada Savings Bond will not be announced by the Minister of Finance until September 30. Deno-mina/lions of the new bonds well be $50, $100, $500 and $1,000. 0 0 0 "SEE THEM AT THE PLOWING MATCH!" . The business of farming has become highly ,specialized during the past few years. Today, there are far more machines and material being used on the farms than ever have been before, and in the next few years the developments that have been perfeoted during the recent war years will be diverted to the use of Canada's number 1 industry, farming. The farmer of, say 19,56, will find that he will have more leisure time than ever before. While there will, 15 all likelihood, still be a, labor problem, the amount of manual labor on an up-to-date farm ten years hence will be at a minimum. Sounds like the fabled Utopia, doesn't it? It does, however, seem that this dream will become an actuality. And to bear out this contention, just take a , look at the mechanical helpers that the farmer of 1946 has •on his fatm—machines doing the work that ten years ago was done by farm labor. New machines are being develop- ed today. .. new materials are coming from the laboratories of science to the aid of the farmer, and 99 out of every 100 farmers, faced with the present shortage of farxn labor, are interested hi these new developments. But farming is a business that takes up just about every minute of the day and the majority of farmers throughout Western Ontario cannot take the time out to go to the laboratories of science nor the work -shops of the farm machinery manu- faeturers to see what they have to offer him, so how is he to keep himself posted on these developments? There is an answer to this question, and a very Apple answer too. As every farmer knows, the Inter- national Plowing Match for 1946, "The Victory Mateh," is being held in Huron County at the Port Albert Airfield, , Blue Water Highway-, October 15-16-17-18. Every farmer• , everyone who is in any way connected with, OT interested in, the soil will be taking time out to attend at least one, if not the four days of this year's International. According to J. A. Carroll, Secretary -Manager of the Ontario Plow- men's Association, praotically all the large firms that are art present supplying the farmers with farm machinery and equipment, fertilizers, feeds, spray materials and a great variety of other supplies ranging .2.011 tie way from work clothes to mix masters, will be represented at Port Albert. So, you see even the faren-wife has not been overlooked!

"They are closer toegther today, enortomic- ally and spiritually, than an other two important nations in the world, and their relations, cannot be viewed ley any other nation with Olympian detachment." After giving comparative fads about size and population, the article continues in. part: "Canada is a bilingual country, with nmee than 80 per cent of its population of Frenth origin. In the province of Quebec this large minority has. maeritained a cohesion of custom, religion and lang- uage which distinguishes it nationally and internationally.

The French Can. adian was cat off alrnoet completely from Europe by the fall of New France in the Seven Years' War and the gulf produced by the anti -clerical aspects of the French Revolution. He regards himself as truly' .0anadian. Because of its dual base and subse- quent mixed immigration, Canada will never produce a narrow racibl nation - "Geography and the pressure of events have combined to intertwine closely the 'business structures of Can- ada and the United States, anti the unusual degree of similarity in the economy of the two countries has meant that business men and capital- sts have been attracted by oppor- unities across the line, so that there have grown u,p hundreds of enter- prises which are known as "Canadian - American." The latest 'available igues report the following forefgh nvestments in Canada: United State's 4,190 million, Great Britain $2466 ullion, °there 9270 million; total 6,926 million. At the same time. C manadian investments abroad totalled 1,757,900,000, of which more than a illion dollars was in the United tates.

Tariff Policy The -article goes on to tell the ups and dawns of tariff policy, and the special products with 1v1Ath Canada is equipiped for trade with the United States, and then remarks: "It can be said that of recent years the Ameri- can State Department has displayed remarkable knowledge of Canada's economic position, taking into account her great dependence upon export trade, her fitiancial connections with the United States, and her relation- ship with Great Britain and as a rnember .of the British Commonwealth of Nations. Just how important the bilateral exchange of goods can be- come is indicated by coinparing 1939 with 1944. In the year war broke out, Canada bought United States goods valued at 9497 million, and in 1944 hei: pnarchases from the United Statee botalled $1,477 million; in 1980 United States purchases in Canada amounted to 9880 million, and in 1944 they totalled 91.301 million. Canada is the best customer the United States has. She buys more there than she sells there. On the other hand, the sells more to the United Kingdom than she buys, and uses her balance of sterling funds to purthase United States dolars with which to pay the trade balance otelinarily due, • Canada's Position Changed ' of 11 in sl je fo 01 be of 90 3 7 "Problems have arisen, of course, The TInited States can return, now that peace has come, to almost eronnal economic conditions, but Canada has been completely changed.

Another store charged me 45 cents for five pounds. Isn't there a ceiling price for sugar. If so, what is it? A: --There is a ceiling price for sugar. It is the maximum which a store charged during tee 'bask period of September 15 to October 11, 1941. Since all stores did not charge the same priee for sugar in the basic period the ceiling prices now permitt- ed may vary hi -different stores. A slight increase was allowed on 1 and 2 lb sales of sugar. Most stores sold 5 ahd 10 lb lots but when rationing was in effeet some could only buy a pound. As maximum prices were based in most cases on large sales the board permitted sales of 1 lb to be in- creased eee and 2 lb 1c. Other sales were maximum tharged. . • • * Q:—What will be the ceiling price of winter apples this year? A:—Ceiling prices vary for differ- ent varieties of apples.

I want to re -rent the room now but feel that I cannot give the same serv- ice for five dollars. May I inceease the charge? A:—We assume from your letter that you are inquiring as to room and board and not board alone. If this is so and if you are supplying every- thing including bedding's and linen and the laundering thereof you can fix your own rates, having in mind the amount that was payable for similar accommodation in the neighborhood on July lst, 1943. increased from 93,400 million in 1939 to $9,074 million in 1944. What is she to do with the products? It is no wonder that the Canadian Minister of Finance announced his readiness to discuss with the governments of the United States, the United King- dom, or other countries, reciprocal trade arrangements wider in scope and longer in duration than have hitherto been made.' Certainly, with 26 to 35 per cent of the national in- eame accounted for by exports and receipts from tourists, Canada will do all in -her power to reach reciprocal agreements, and the Aziglo-Ammican- Canadian. trade talks hold great sig- nificance for her. A fair interchange. on equal terms, of the products of these two North Ametican countries will be greatly to the advantage of both, and will give to the world an- other example of their successful ap- plication of common sense methods to international relations." In conclusion, tile article gives some facts about the international bound- ary, and the traffic over it, and re- melts: "Obviously, neither nation can distrust very much another with whibh it has such relation.e; which ' goes into similar hystetics over the World Series, uses the same shave lotions and lipsticks' eases its colds and poison ivy withthe same nest. ruins and creams, twists the language into queer forms to express indigna- tion at standing in street cars and trains, and, generally, lives the same jife in the sante way. But this does 'not mean that the people are the same. Each natibn has its own peculiarities and characteeistics. It is not a two-dimensional matter only, a length of border line and the traffle across it. Its greatest profunditiee are in the spiritual rathee than in the natural world. The question is no longer as to where an *visible line runs; it has moved into the realm where :nen on both sides are wonder- ing how the flow of people, rivers, harvesting machines, and trade across this line may be added to by the flow of ideas, so that the evell-bi:'*g of both people may be promoted." o - "Walking Rtick" Bugs Gatherecl_at Grand Bend Word that thousands of "walking stick" bugs are to be found near Grand Bend started action in London to have a party leave for their breed- ing grounds yesterday aftazoon and secure the several thousands required for cancer research work ley the Heis- ting Institute of Toronto.
