HELP THE HOSPITAL;' BUY A.TAG!
Residents of 'Clinton and district are mighty proud
of that excellent institution for the afflicted --
Clinton Public Hospital. Under able leadership and
a capable staff, the hospital is doing Wonderful work in
this corrmiunity. .
For this reason, if for none other, the Hospital Aid
Tag Day, wthich is being held on Saturday, November 2,
should be given hearty pport. Prior to Ithe war, the
Aid operated very successfully and helpfully, but was
disbanded temporarily during the war period. Only re-
cently it was reorganized under the leadership of Mrs.
3. A. Sutter, who had acted as president prior to the war.
The Aid acts as 'an auxiliary tto the Hospital, and has
proved of great value in completing 'sheets, pillow slips,
towels, etc., aS well as items of major importance in the
operation of a hospital such as an autoclave (sterilizer)
and helping to buy a cycoprapane (gas machine).
Give generously to the Hospital Aid Tag Day!

UNWISE TO WAIT ANY LONGER
n the olosing days of last week, officers of an
'1
independent organization, which makes a specialty
of xneasuring public opinion, became curious about
the reception which Canadians are giving to the new Canada
Savings Bond. One of the more interesting facts which
this survey uncovered was that an estimated 21 per cent
of former Victory Loan buyers in urban areas had not
yet bought beeause they were wattling for a salesman to
call; and itt the rural areas an estimated 11 per cent were
also waiting for a 'salesman. ' ---- w :04.4 ,...,,vol
While there are a number of salesmen from invest-
ment houses in the fiekl, they carmot begin to make the
extensive canvass of individuals, particularly in rural areas,
which was made by the sales force employed in Victory
Loans. The odds are overwhelming that if this 21 per cent
in cities and 11 per cent in rural districts continue to wait
for salesmen, they never will buy a new bond.
Two other features of the survey show that 27
per cent of those in the rural areas who have yet to buy
are going to send in their application by mail, and that
28 per cent of those in country areas who bought Victory
Bond have not yet decided to secure a new bond and are
classified under the coluren, "Might buy." A good tip for
those in the first group would be, "Aet now on your good
intentions," and for the second group, "End your indecision
and buy. You obviously stand to benefit yourself, since
it is the finest investment 'available today. In ease of
need you can turn it into eash at 100 cents on the dollar,
•plus interest, 'at any time."

Since the service was commenced back in 1874,
members of the Cuninghame family have acted as express
agents in Clinton. The retirement today of Gordon W.
Cuninghame, agent aloe 1915, and employee since 1898,
brings 72 years of family service to a close. He now Will
have more time at his disposal, to devote to his beloved
fishing and hunting, and he has the goad wishes of many

The 'Ontario Depaitarrent of Lands and Forelsts has
declared a six-day open season for deer in Huron County
from November 18-23, inclusive, allowing rifles to be used
here but practically nowhere else in Southwestern Ontario
except in Bruce and Grey Counties. Following last year's
experience when many farm anitnals 'were shot and some
fanners and hunters had 'close calls from speeding bnllets,
it is doubtful if permitting the use of high-powered rifles
in such a heavily -settled section, is good business, especially
- in view of Huron County Council's motion 'against an open
season this year passed 'at 'the June Seision. •

What About
Farm Prices?
(National Farm Radio Forum)
There is one bill that everyone
would like to get out of paying and
that is the tax bill. At the same time
probably everyone would agree that
taxes are necessary. There have teen
taxes in one- form or another since
ancient times. They have been found
necessary wherever peaple have come
together to form corrununities or
settlements. For instance, when our
pioneer forefathers came tothis
country and carved homes for them-
selves out of the forest, they had to
have roads to connect their homes
and their settlements. So they taxer;
themselves to pay for the roads. An-
other great need was for schools and
they taxed themselves to build
schools and to pay teachers. Today
roads and schools are still the chief
charges on loeal taxation.
But there are many other public
services to pay for besides school
and roads, and even these are much
more expensive than they used to be.
Provincial governments now pay the
biggest share of the eost of roads
and they give generous grants to
sehools. Other provincial expenses
are: agricultural servicee, hospitals
and sanitariums, police, old age pen-
sions, jails, parks, government ad-
reihistration, and so on. All these
expenses are met by taxes of ong
kind and another,
The really breath -taking costs,
however, are.faced by the Dominion
Government, We used to talk of a
budget in terma of millions of dollars,
now we talk of billions. The 1946-47
budget is for nearly $8 billion. This
money will go mainly for rehabilita-
tion of veterans and maintenance of
armed services ($1,600 million-; fam-
ily allowances ($250 million); old
age pensions ($35 million); depart-
mental expenses ($428 million);
interest on public debt ($460 million).
.And most of the Money leftl have to
be raised by taxes—individual income
tax, corporation income tax, excess
profits tax, excise duties and taxes,
and succession duties. Is it any
wonder our taxes are high? They
tend to get hider as our sense of
public responsibRily grows.
Someone said a long time ago, "The
art of taxation consists in so plucking
the goose as to obtain the largest
amount of feathers with the least
possible amount of hissing.." For
some reason income tax seems to
produce thp loudest hiss.
What about farm. • taxes? Thi;
question will be discussed on the
National Farm Radio Forum broad-
cast on November 4. Groups of farm-
ers meeting in all parts of Canada
will be giving taxation problems no
divided attention.

The time is approaching when the
cost of psoduction to fanners will
be the foundation of the price paid
by consumers for farm produce, 'Agri-
culture Minister Kennedy, of Ontario,
told a gathering of Duffeein, County
junior farmers.
That was as it should be, he said,
bemuse no one should have to sell
a product for less than it costs to
produce it.
"When that system' comes, the in-
efficient fernier will be under
great handicap because his costs of
production will be higher than those
of the efficient farmer. There will
be no place in our agriculture for
those who are inefficient because
they will fall by the wayside as sur-
ely as night follows day.
"It is up to you, then, as jenion
Farmers to make use of every means
at your disposal to promote your own
efficiency and to use the methods
that will make your farming efficient
. . . Our farm organizations in the
future evil need better and stronger
leadership than ever before, and they
will have to look to you young ;men
and women who have come up
through the junior Fanner move-
ment to provide that leadership."
