THE COLBORNE EXPRESS. COLBORNE, ONT., AUGUST 10, 1944 Four Reasons -- Among Many Canadians are holding and buying more Victory Bonds because they realize: --that in 1944, Canada's war expenditures may be the highest of any year to date and must be financed. --that increased war production will shorten the war. --that Victory Bonds are the best safeguard against the needs of the future. --that Victory Bonds are the most secure and saleable investment, and yield s good interest return. There is no better investment than Dominion of Canada Bonds.

Reductioi in prices of imported farm machinery, as a result of the Budget announcement of the cancellation of duty and war exchange, will amount to about SsVzfo on general line implements, 11^% on cream separators, 5}4% on tractors and 5% on tractor repair parts, according to H. H. Bloom, administrator of Farm Machinery for Wartime Prices and Trade Board. The new Federal bill to stabilize prices of agricultural products has its keynote in the clause providing that in prescribing prices, the administering board "shall endeavour to ensure adequate and stable returns for agriculture by promoting orderly adjustment from war to peace conditions, and shall endeavour to secure a fair relationship between the returns from agriculture and those from other occupations." Legislation provides for the setting up of a Board of three to administer the Act and regulations passed from time to time. It authorizes the Board to prescribe, with the approval of the Governor-in-Council, prices at which the Board may purchase agricultural products in the market. Two alternate methods of stabilizing operations are provided for: first, that the Board may purchase products at the prices prescribed, according to standards and grades covered by Acts now in existence, or which may be set up by the Board. In the alternative, the Board is empowered to pay to producers the difference between the prices prescribed by the Board for any product, and the average price at which the product is selling on the open market, in case the average market price is below the prescribed price. Either method may be used at any time according to what the Board determines is necessary. A revolving fund of not more than $200,000,000 is provided by the Act for the Board's operation.

No definite conclusions can invariably be drawn when the lie detector is used, and even those that are valid are no more trustworthy than ordinary confessions. SAFES J.6CJ.TAYLOR LIMITED TORONTO SAFE WORKS It is a question in the minds of the psychiatrists whether lie-detector findings are admissible as evidence in court, and this because the subject does not submit himself volun- A lie detector may have its uses, but its findings should be correlated with those obtained by other means and then only by competent psychiatrists and psychologists.
