difficult to scrape up funds rAVt for ice time and other hockey expenses The clubs Work pro gram has looked after this par ticular age group and it would be a shame To lose the ship because of lack of funds George tells us It just cant happen he says Ice time at the arena is large amount of cash to keep a league going on that valuable artificial ice While we cannot do much about the Optimists funds we can at least give them a verbal boost Opti mist Week is coming up and maybe someone will come along with some good ideas We are not too familiar with the costs but maybe it would be cheaper for the Optimists to flood their own outdoor rink for at least some of the league games in town- There should be plenty of kids to shovel the snow off the ice each week and to do the flooding and other odd jobs THURSDAY THE SIXTH DAY OF NOVEMBER NINETEEN HUNDRED AND FIFTYTWO CONTROLLED ACCESS ROADS From the Files 25 and 50 Years Ago The public have an unusual opportunity of hearing first class violin

Kennedy left town Thursday for where he accepted a situation Mr and Mrs Jason Hall en tertained a number children on Halloween Mrs of Toronto is spending a couple of weeks with her son Mr J recent hearings on the application of the department of highways to close some roads in King township brought to light conditions which the provin cial government should do well to examine Farmers on either side of the new No Highway are facing great hardship by not being able to cross the new road except on existing cloverleaf intersections and under- passes They cannot cross the road itself since it would defeat the very purpose of a controlled access highway At the same time the department is trying to keep to the minimum the number of overbridges necessary since it would increase costs for which we all would have to pay Admittedly these roads are a necessity and they have to be built somewhere Neither can they always be built on land which is not inhabited But residents along the new road will undoubtedly reap some benefits and in the long run these will out weigh the disadvantages Their land will increase in value and their municipality will have increased assets They will be able to use this all weather highway for their own long distance travel The government would do well to point out these factors and publicize the thinking behind the building of these new controlled access highways These new roads arc the lifelines of progress and their building should be ft source of pride and receive approval for a job well done Sufficient education and publicity could make it that The lack of it will hinder it will end in bitter squabble and slow down development IS SANTA COMING Commercialism has crept into mothers day fathers day St Valentines day and every day of observance and into every festive occasion of the season Christmas is the season when commercialism hits its peak With that it is recalled that Newmarket has had a Santa Clans parade every year It is a matter of opinion whether our annual Clans parade is just another trick to boost business It be at length Some merchants claim that in spite pi bringing hundreds or thousands to the Main Street for the parade it not add to the seasons sales People are really mote interested in the parade than shopping on the parade day and when the parade is over everyone goes home riot into the stores merchants The general feeling has been this Well the kids get a big kick out of it any way be enough to justify the Santa parade Maybe it is not fair call it commercialism after all In previous years the parade has been arranged by various reluctant organizations often at the last minute If there is to be a parade it is not too early to start arrangements how But no chamber of commerce board of trade or formal organization including all the and if their were one it might refuse the responsibility organize the parade this year I FOLLOW US Eugene Griffins series of articles in the Chicago Tribune on Canada would make the average Canadian boil Griffin is the Tribunes cor respondent in Ottawa and in a recent article he wrote danada Is largely an offshoot of the United States- Ho added that Ameri cans settled largo areas of this country have provided its real military security and have supported it cally Since the end of the war there has been growing feeling of nationalism in a d a are throwing out their chests since the dollar rose in value a few cents above the American dollar Canadians felt that they had a culture after the report was given There has been a growing resistance against the evil influence of the United States on our national culture and national opinion would even compel privato radio stations to employ at least Canadian talent in broadcasts With the grow ing feeling of nationalism complex about US influence But there was one example in the US this week Canadians could follow The voting in the presidential election was an impressive record The percen tage of US voters who cast their ballots shows how Americans can do things up a big Americana seem to take a greater interest hi Canadians although their means of political expression and extro version sometimes distasteful to Canadians Just this once we could influ ence on Canadians to stir up interest in politics on every level With municipal elections forthcoming we might follow the example to w put and vote and be sure to make the franchise count PATRIOTISM BY NUMBERS Fort Erie Times Review According to reasoning Canadians living in cities of population or greater are a good deal less Canadian in outlook and feeling than their smaller- town brethren CBC even has it doWn to percentages percent less patriotic Such is the rather ridiculous conclusion to be drawn from the government broadcasting systems proposal to compel private radio stations in the larger cities to broadcast percent Canadian material with the re quirement dropping to percent in the smaller com munities But the most ridiculous in fact dangerous thing of all is that a government agency should start telling the public the exact proportion of Canadian radio programs required to keep them up to scratch patrioti cally speaking Next thing will be an order requiring everyone to reach a reading target of so much per annum or else Nor would this in fact be any more dictatorial than the radio proposal TOO MUCH ON CREDIT Are we buying too much on credit asks the Finan cial Post Following the lifting of credit restrictions last spring there was a natural rush of buying by those who wanted to finance such durables as new cars furniture and appliances Consumer credit soared but tapered off around summer on car sales Other credit items continue to climb but by the end of it would seem likely that the dyerall rate of increase will begin to flatten out despite big television credit sales in some parts of the country But where does all this lead To trouble Prob ably for some but for the economy as a whole here are a couple of considerations which make the outlook much less ominous than some have been fearing Canadians generally are still in a relatively good liquid asset position despite their buying on credit Savings deposits for example arc up i over last year Oilier personal savings like life insurance are UP tOO We believe that when the figures are available it will be shown that the total amount of money available for spending has giown oven more lhau the gain in savings life insurance etc- acts are that iii personal savings at a low figure of of disposable income money Available

Farmer First of all let us point out that the Toronto metropolitan area has increased the last few years tremendously and we doubt if the milk shed has in creased as well In other words the same distributors today are covering a much larger number of people than they have previously Granted some of the subur ban dairies got some of the business as but basically there are more people to sell to Secondly other food items decreased in price and today the custumers food dollar is going somewhat further than It did say a year ago We believe that this resulted from a de creasing pressure on milk and we think fewer people are saying that milk is too expen sive Another factor to consider is that the milk business has had a rather peaceful time lately with not much publicity of any kind and to disturb the pres ent conditions wouldnt do anybody good These are some of the factors on the sell ing end which suggest that we should stand firm How about the producing side of it Well we arent ex actly on the top of the world to the extent that we should give up hard earned income Our revenue has been seriously af fected by the beef slump One only has to send a cow to mar ket to see how Irue this is The embargo also hurt us badly keeping our surplus stock at home We grant you some of these will be milked thus increasing the supply But we also believe that the pro duction per cow will be lower at the same time Commercial feeds being what they are we think more home grown feed will be fed and less concentrate and in the long run the in crease in cow population will not mean very large increase in milk shipped to market Neither did our general over head and cost decrease Ma chinery isnt down in price neither are taxes or feed or la bor Let us try to remember these things white going to annual meetings We may be in a rel atively favorable position to some parts of agriculture but we certainly are not better off than we used to be The of the year is slowly approach ing for the annual meetings and while some of these meet ings may not affect alt of us some will concern the very business with which we make our living Foremost among these is the milk pro ducers annual meeting We have a few thoughts on the subject which we would like to mention at this time First of all we have to that for the time being at least the dairy fanner or far ther the farmer producing for the fluid milk market in this area is in a somewhat more fa vorable position than other farmers whose main business is pork or beef production jj i J We all have to admit tru this is a change from the way it has been and we also have to admit that it might well be just very temporary While for the last few years the beef producer or commercial feeder of beef and pork couldnt do anything wrong the dairy far mer kept facing increasing costs and increasing difficul ties Today the shoe is shifted to the other foot a little bit Con sequently it is quite possible that some pressure will be put on us in the next few months urging us to give up volun tarily some of the advantages This pressure may come from the distributors and more likely from our timid leadership not so in our own districts but the central of the Toronto milk producers We believe that we should hold firm to our present con tract and make it quite clear at the annual meeting that we will not consider accepting any less for our milk than the present price Now you may think that it is foolish to talk about this Nobody is Us to do so but we can assure you that they will consider less unless it is made abundantly clear to all parties concerned that we will not be scared that we know what we are do by standing firm 75 BOY PAGE RIPLEY J
