R. S. ATKEY H. L. TOMLINSON• Editor and Business Manager Plant; Manager THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1945 FIGHT INFLATION - BUY A BOND! There are bitter memories in many Canadian farm families of what happened after World War I -the drastic decline in land values; the overwhelming burden of delft, the reduction in income, and the lowering of the standard of living. All were caused by what is known as inflation. Records Show that for the . past 200 years ,a. prices increased during the war periods and in each case they returned to a level: or below the level of pre-war prices°P to be succeeded by years of declining prices, business stag- nation, and widespread distress. • The same thing is happening once again inother. countries but not in Canada. In the fight.against inflation, the Canadian people have protected themselves by a price ceiling placed on goods, rents, and services. However, this control is only one of the measures which constitute Can- ada's economic strategy to avert post-war calamity. There are other controls—wages, salary, and distribution con- trols, together with wartime taxation and loans to the government by the people. Combined, these are known as Canada's Stabilization Controls, and are so interlocked that a defect in the working of any one of them directly weakens the whole system. The Victory Loans, in which Canada has set a world example in unity of purpose, have been one of the great instruments in upholding the Canadian economic system, • Now is the testing time of unity of purpose, for the danger point of inflation is now. Buy more bonds and avoid the years of misery that followed World War I. ` 0 0 0 BRITAIN'S LEAD, IN FARM MECHANIZATION Today, British agriculture is the most highly mech- .anized inthe world with mare than two tractors to every square mile of territory and seven tractors to every square mile of arable land. One important feature of this wartime development has been the stress laid on the mechanization of small holdings. The National Institute of Agricultural Engineering recently has been demonstrating farming equipment which included machines specially adapted for use on small farms. The demonstrations covered machines for sugar beet harvesting, grain harvesting, drying and handling, and ploughs and cultivators. Machinery exhibited included new types of potato diggers, sugar beet drills, binders and har- vesters. The Institute has recorded many advances in the use of ploughs, harvesters and cultivators. To take one example, up to now farmers using com- bine harvesters have experienced difficulty in ploughing in straw which tends to wedge under ordinary coulters. To obviate this handicap the Institute has developed a cor- rugated disc coulter which by continuously rotating easily works in 'straw 'and long stubble. ., O 0 0 EDITORIAL COMMENT Thought for Today—A girl always wants the im- possible in husbands and that's what she usually gets. O 0 0 Some of the Victory Loan salesmen in rural sections, Goderich Township particularly, are finding that the bulk of their bond sales are for cash. O 0 0 Hog producers of Huron County—and that means practically all farmers—should make certain they register for the coming vote on the proposed ,marketing scheme. There must be a two-thirds.vote in favour or the plan, 'and. those who register but do not vote are counted as opposing votes. The ultimate Objective is to organize the entire Dominion, which would give Canada a chance of an seven break in the world bacon tmarket. , O 0 0 n, One of the bouquets we received in connection with last week's Special Victory Loan Issue was published in "The Htiron County Attack", daily bulletin of the Huron County Ninth Victory Loan Committee; "This week's edition of the CLINTON NEWS RECORD, with a complete e special Victory Loan edition, is a swell job, and the county, organization joins in congratulating the publishers and also, the Clinton committee for a job well done." • 0 © The death in his 82nd year, Monday night, of Col.

We have been pleased to receive a copy of the October 25 edition of the CLINTON . NEWS -RECORD, featuring the•Ninth Victory. Loan campaign. You are to be congratulated on the splendid support you have accorded the Loan, both in your news columns and feature photographs, and also in the excellent sponsored advertising support that is presented.

DINGLE. Assistant Chairman. Toronto 1, Ont., October 29, 1945 Need Common Sense and Clear Vision (Toronto Saturday Night) • A casual perusal of the newspapers should convince any intelligent per- son that few countries in the world are so happily situated as Canada, In every column we find despatches, sometimes very brief, but which bring conviction that in every part of Europe and Asia problems exist more grievous than any which we have to face; problems which might well bring despair to many of us had we to face them. There is no need to enter into detail; he who runs may read. Once again within a quarter of a century we have before us the unmistakable proof of the incalculable waste and futility of war as a solution of human problems. Most of the millions who in the end became grouped together as the United Nations realized this' folly all along, but when faced with the issue of liberty's survival did not quail, and proved that they could fight as resolutely and with, higher resourcefulness than the 'war criminals who learned no useful Iessons from the co :flict bf 1914-18. Though Canadians played their part gloriously they must all realize that a world whose chief energies, for nearly six years, have been diverted to the process of waste and destruetion, has created for itself post war probleins almost as grave as those of war itself. . Canada in peace can no more escape aftermath problems of 1945 than it could those created by the gamblers' throw of the Axis powers in 1939. Neither our affairs nor those of any other nation San be restored in a day or a year to the conditions of even so troubled and apprehensive a period as 1938, the year of Munich. Canada, owing to her eemoteneas from actual scenes of conflict, was happily situated, but who among us does not know friends who lost their; sons; or can escape' the sight of the injured and the maimed who were war's victims? The war years were unquestionably tough; but we would be living,in a fool's paradise if we failed to 'realize that peace. fears are going to be tough for a while also. To some it may seem that it is but emphasizing the obvious to set down these truisms. But anyone who keeps his ears open ,in street cars.and other 'public places knows that a great many people are in need of counsel on the importance of patience at the present juncture. Hon. C. D. Howe has recently said, optimistically, that, the most diffi- cult period reconversion will be over by the end of autumn. But it is cer- tain than reconversion and success- ful readjustment will need the pa- tient ce-o eration of the public at large. Governments. Cannot counsel patience; many would at once inter met it as an excuse for inaction But others can do, so; and ail should' realize that ;never was there more, need for common sense and clear vision than now. rom Our Early 'Files 25 YEARS .AGO ' THE CLINTON NEWS -RECORD• OCTOBER 28, 1920 Mr. P.
