Canada's economy depends much on the rural ,communities such as Grey township, said Carlton Wells, of London, guest speaker at the memorial service. He said the larger centres depend on the small- er communities for farm products and produce. He urged those present to live up to the ideals set by their fore- fathers and paid tribute to the early settlers. His message was centred around the drama of life and concluded with the question— is your life making the mark it should? The service was conducted by the Rev. Lawrence Thompsen, of Cranbrook, assisted by the Rev. William Thomas, of Walton and the Rev. F. E. Jewell, of Brus- sels. Members from district Church choirs formed the mass choir. Mention was made of the pioneer residents of the district over 90 who included Mrs. Thomas David- son, Mrs. .D. C. Ross, Mrs. John Stephenson, Mrs, Wesley Pollard, and Mrs. George McCall. Named over 80 were _George Addy and Edward Rowland. Old boys and girls, many re- turning for the first time, checked in from distant points, including Seattle, Wash.; Dartmouth, N.S.; San Fransisco, Calif.; Penticton, B,C.; Glendale, Calif.; Vancouver, 'Dollars and Sense' How can YOU benefit from having a Current Account? You'll find it much easier to keep an accurate record of your current expenses when you have a Current Account. When you pay all bills by cheque on your Current Account, you receive back, at the end of each month, all your cancelled cheques ass_ well as a bank statement showing every withdrawal and every deposit you have made. Furthermore, they are much easier to file away than receipts and take less room to store. With them and your bank statements, you'll find it far easier to get an exact picture of how you spend your money. So it's a good move to use a Current Account for paying all current bills—and keep your Savings Account for actual savings. THE CANADIAN BANK OF COMMERCE NW -326 ' SEAFORTH BRANCH: G. C.
