EIGHTY YEARS OLD BUT STILL
A YOUNG NATION
Cl
omfeder'artion of (tile Canadian Provinces was
achieved by the British North America Act,
which came into effect just 80 years ago,,on
Judy 1, 1867. This union was brought about only fter
. a long 'straggle in which the genius of compromise played
an important part. Canada its Still a young nation—as
nations go—with much on Which to look back but even
more to which to look forward.
. Eighty years sago, our problem was to wrest from
the untamed Wilderness, suffi'ci'ent food, clothing .and
shelter to keep us ,alive in a rough life !arid hard circum-
stances, it is pointed out in the Monthly Letter of the
Royal Bank of Canada, the current issue of which deals
rather 'exhaustively with the history and future of the
nation. Today's great problem is to find uses at home
:for the abundance of goods produced in factories formerly
busy with war goods, or to find markets abroad in Which
to dispose of them. These things are necessary if our
:living standard is not to be reduced. They also are
::necessary if other nations, once they have 'settle'd down,
`.are not to (become jealous of our natural wealth. We are
'seelcihng a way to make economical use of our resources,
spz'eadnng them around the world where they are needed.
Canada stands between the grealt and the small
.powers --too limited in population to forma menace to
'any nation, even if she were belligerently minded, but too
.]highly developed as an Industrial ,and trading nation to
rank with the ,small powers. Our ananpower weight is
:sight, but our economic weight—not alone because of our
natural resources but because of our ability to process
them efficiently—entitles us oto a 'seat near the top in
world pllaamnling.
Canada has made wonderful progress in her 80
years of federation, and has (ah least as good prospects
of an equal share of advancement in the next 80 years.
She has broken through frontiers of geography and
clilinalte and philosophy and custom to reach her present
position: today she is leading attempts to breach old-
time prejudice 'and selfishness and insularity, so that
world economic reconstruction and stability may march
Side-by-side with .political eai peace.
This country, of ,all in the world, has a good chance
to make good in ilts constructive efforts, and in this
.Country, if anywhere on the globe, is opportunity: not
alone because of the natural resources of which we are
so prone to boast, but because here, of all places, there
is a sane, balanced wary of l4fe in which to develop
nalture's—and our individual—gifts.
As the Monthly Letter states, we cannon Took back,
this 80th birthday, on the padt as as pageant which calls
merely for 'applause and graitifioa>aoun. As the procession
of the years passes in review on our National Birthday,
each year decked with laurel leaves for achievement and
its chaplet Of rosemary for memories, we must not forget
that 1947 will take its place in the cavalcade. This year
and years :to came must not he unworthy.
EDITORIAL COMMENT
Thought for Today — It is much easier to be
critical than to be correct.
Twenty-five years ago. the Town Council passed
- a bylaw restricting the Sunday hours of the local cafe
to 7 'a.m. to 9 a.m,, 12 noon to 2 p.m., and 5.30 to
7.30 p.m. Today, the (attitude of the townspeople seems
to be just the reverse.

Notice to Owners or Harbourers • of Dogs
in the Township of Tuckersmith
Owing to the excessive damage being done in the killing
of poultry by dogs running at large in the Township of Tucker -
smith, the Municipal Council requests the co-operation of the rate-
payers in curtailing such damage. It is suggested that owners
keep dogs tied from sunset to sunrise and under proper control at
all tithes. ' If such co-operation is not forthcoming, it will be neces-
sary for the Council to enforce Sec. 9. Part 2, of the Dog Tax
and Livestock Protection Act, RS.O 1937, which provides that
any person may kill any dog (a) which is found killing or injuring
livestock or (b) which in a township or village is found between
sunset and sunrise straying from the premises where the dog is
haibitually kept or (c) which is found straying at any time and
not under proper control where livestock are habitually kept.

NEXT pay-day your pay cheque
will be bigger ... because the re-
duction in your income tax will
be effective.
Think of that increase as a raise
in pay—as money in your pocket.
Whether your income is $2,000 or
$20,000, it's something extra to
use in your own design for living.
For some people it's going to
mean more money to spend—an
easier time in personal financing.
That's good for most of us.
But is that all? Not for the wise
ones. Wise folk won't let all that
money slip through their fingers
• . . Some will save 10%—some
50% ... and some will save it all.
Plan your finances now for 1947
• . figure out your tax saving and
see that a good lump of this money
yoac Pee SHS
in your packet is labelled "money
in the bank".
For many people that's goiag
to mean "money in My Bank." .. .
where more than a million Cana-
dians—sound citizens who know
what saving means -do their per-
sonal financing.
You will be very welcome in
