Eihc metric Examiner Published by Canadian Newspapers Ltd 16 Hayfield sum antno pans roua HONDAY JANUARY was anada Banking System The numoer of deposit accounts in the nine chartered banks in Canada has reached ll million of which more than nine million are personal savings ac counts states brochure issued by the Canadian Eaukcrs Association This means there is bank account for every adult Canadian with deposits as at the end of last December oi ll billion dollars six billion of itin per sonal savings accounts That at time when this country was in the midst of socalled economic recession with money not as plentiful as it had been or as itis today is an indication oi how big is the business of these nine pri vately owned but oiloperative institu tions which handle most of the financial affairs oi the nation But the surprising thing is that al though these banks are national inst itution and are used so widely far too many bank customers have only hazy idea of the functions oia bank and an ignorance of their part as customers in transacting business with it Weare win by bank officials that majority of depositors iailto make out the required deposit slips available for their They leave it to the teuers who take their money and they ire fluently dont know such necessary de tailsas the number oi the account This slows up business as tellers have to do Something the customers are expected in do wirequently at busy times when others have to stand in line and wait to be served Perhaps one oi the main reasons of the success of Canadian banks is that they are owned and operated by the Canadian people themselves The num ber of shareholders jumped from 53083 in 1940 to 84741 last year and 70 per cent oi them were Canadians The number of customers using the banks increased greatly What is needed now is an increase in their knowledge oi the basic functions oi the services they may use United Church In Action One oi 30 downtown missions operated by The United Church of Canada To rontos Fred Victor Mission due for $950000 overhaul This 65yearold Toronto Church and shelter for the homeless hnd unemployed will be demoia ished and new $050000 combination

men and women in such jobs as upholstering and repairing clothing for lowcost sale The United Church Home Missions Council is providing about $600000111 the cost Opinions oi other Nevispapers EENTIMENT IN BUSINESS Woochtock SentinelReview The cliche about there being no sentiment In business may be old but its far from being true Sentiment emotion sympathy understanding such feelings are indeed commonly supposed to have no place in business In actual fact however they enter into it as into all other human relationships and are factors influenc lng many business decision There is simple explanation for this it is that businessmen are human Granted the fab lowers of Karl Marx along withother social misfits will not believe this for moment Granted too that quite few other persons whose contact with the world of buriness and industry is limited to the books theyve read and the movies theyve seen will have their doubts Undershndably The boss image created in the minds of such people over the years is that of ruthless grasping tycoon who is arrogant unspproach able and altogether indifferent to the needs and problems of those he employs There may be businessman in Canada who fits this desulpfiomhut we hardly think so If by any chance there is be will assuredly not long remain in business The typical businessman of course bears no relagion to his kind of preconceived and distort ed image Being human be is no more devil than he is an angel He may be small manufacturer president of large corporiion manager of an industrial plant or otherwise wlald authority Whatever his position the probability is that be has earned it by demonstraiing ability and capacity for hard work and by gaining the respect of those aroundlbim There are many such business executives in Canada today They have been known to be considerate to their subordinates to be respon sive to the needs of the individual men and wo men who comprise the companys work force and to be force for good in the community in which they live Come to think of it most fund raising projects and other good causes would be in poor shape but for their efforts They enjoy certain status in both their wouid be This amount is coming from the $3000000objectlve fund drive for mis sions being conducted in the four Toron to Presbyteries The total pledge is now $2400000 The Province oi Ontario will help 11n nnce the home for the aged section and another $150000 or so will be available from the present Fred Victor Mission building Fund Demolition 01 section oi the present buildingbuilt in 189443 to start im mediately The Missions noted work with transients will not be halted dur ing the transformation The first unit of the new building will be an under ground heating plant which will pro vide heat to the standing part oi the present building while one section of the new structure is going up The chapel will face onto Queen Street East Under it will be the auditorium for Sunday School work and concerts company and their communin and pay the price of responsibility for it All in all the worst that can be said of most businessman is that they have done far bet ter job oi selling their products than of selling mornselvas In short our typical Canadian businessman is neither Simon Legres in grey flannel suit nor first cousin of the Grand Lama of Ebetlfiardheaded he may be hardhearted
