By so doing, you will meet many choice productsâ€"worthy to beâ€" come friends of the family, Advertised products have a standing that commands respect. They are not nameless, but vouched for by responsible firms. The fact that they are advertised is in itself an indicition that their standards of quality are strictly maintained, that they represent honâ€" est value. Look at the packages on your pantry or bathroom shelves and see what a multitude of brand names you recognize. Some of them have been familiar for years. Ycu may have made the acquaintance of others only a few weeks ago. But even these are not suspected strangers. You have bought them confidently because they were advertised. And it is the same with your sheets and towels, your shoes and clothes, your electric appliances, the car in your garageâ€"nearly everything you use OwEN souNp 1, 1936 and asked them to give such public business, as had now been entrust ed to them, the same careful atâ€" tention that they would accord their own personal affairs. "I have found in seven years of municipal life," said the Mayor, MAYOR CAMPBELL GRANT GIVES ADVICE TO HIS COUNCIL In his inaugural speech at Walkerâ€" ton, Mayor Campbell Grant handed to his council members around him advice that should be taken by the council members of other towns,â€" which includes Durham. Addressing himself particularly to the new members the ‘Heraldâ€"Times‘ says ‘"He warned them that they would be confronted with many probâ€" lems not met with in private life,, While the Conservative party are not asking our opinion, they are merely standing in their own light, when they keep Premier Bennett at the helm. # If the Conservative panty only realâ€" ize it, their strongest man toâ€"day is Hon. H. H. Stevens. His trade inâ€" vestigat.onsâ€"and findings have done untold good and made many wageâ€" payers ashamed of themselves. Mr Stevens has the high regard of both sides of the House. In some quarters, Mr. Bennett‘s security is questioned. What, and where are his promises of 5 years ago? Many of his own followres have lost confidence in his statements and look on these new declarations as a loopâ€"hole to evade past blots. What does this deathâ€"bed repentâ€" ance mean and from whom did it emanate? Many of his own followers see in it the work of his brotherâ€"in law, Hon. W. D. Herridge, Canadian Minister to Washington, who sees in the aunching of this "New Deal" another march over the Red Sea inâ€" to the Promised Land of security for another 5 years. PREMIER BENNETT IN A NEW LIGHT Anyone listening to Premier Benâ€" nett‘s broadcasts, telling of the new deal or role the Conservative maâ€" chine will carry out in the coming session, cannot but be mystified and pause and wonder, ‘Can this be the same Premier Bennett of 1930, who went the length and ‘breadth of Canâ€" ada, promising almost the imposâ€" sible? Five years ago these same proposals uttered toâ€"day, wou!‘d have been laughed at by the Conservative rank and file, as bordering on the radical. h Cae Aurtum ARevi.mw C RAMAGE & SON.

Can it be that the credit system is about to go from all phases of activity? A few years ago, everyone was urged to buy on easy terms. It would seem THE DURHAM REVIEW â€" : sales are usually "Terms Cash." Numbers of the posters also bear the admonition that nothing is to be takâ€" en from the premises "until satisâ€" Arthur merchants and other businâ€" ess pepple have affixed their names to an agreement whereby they will observe the half holiday on Wednesâ€" day throughout the year, with the exâ€" ception of the month of December. Terms Cash â€" The terms that used to appear on auction sale bills giving so many months‘ credit on approved joint notes and a percentage off for cash, are apparently a thing of the past. A more abbreviated form is now common use and the most of these A town that never has anything to do in a public way, is on the way to the cemetery. Any citizen who will do mothing for his town is helping to dig the grave. A man who curâ€" ses the town furnishes the coffin. The man who is so selfish as to have no time from his business to give to town affairs is making the now started a health movement bas ed on his theory and seems to have considerable success to report. Getâ€" ting to bed with the chickens may not be the secret of health but probâ€" ably this generation would have betâ€" ter health if it didn‘t turn night into day quite so much. 6 A German professor has proved to his own satisfaction and by actual experiment, that a few hous‘ sleep ibefore midnight has much greater reâ€" cuperative effect than many. more hours after that time. In serious nerâ€" vous illâ€"health, he began his experiâ€" ments a few years ago and has beâ€" come an exceptionally healthy anc vigorous man as a result. He has Agnes Macphail says she is intenâ€" sely interested in the Radio speechâ€" es and policies of the "New Deal" Premier Bennett ‘is broadcasting to the people of Canada. While she says it is nice to realize Mr Bennett realizing he has erred, the policies «re the same she bhas advocated the past ten years, but were laughed at by Conservatives. Ernest Dryden, designs for French and American dressmakers, makes ie wonderful announcement that a woman with care, can be considered "well dressed" on $1,000 a year. That reads all right for business, but we know of many a woman in town and near town who dresses herself and household en less than $1,000, and is considered no slouch either. The Meaford Mirror claimed the Toronto newspapers were dull while Premier Mitchell Hepburn was holiâ€" daying in the South. At least he left room, Brer. Munro, for the Toâ€" rono munic¢ipal fight. Ontario government may decree a shorter trout season for next year. We are mot so particular about the leng*~ of the season as we are about the length of the trout. Relief in Barrie for the past year cost $30,000. That town has at presâ€" ent 137 families or a total of little over 600 on relief. Out of a total tax roll in Tara of $6,364.62, only $93.00 was outstandâ€" ing on Nomination Day. How do you do it Tara? Referring to police matters, Mayâ€" or Grant declared it to be the first duty of every Countcil to back up the police to full extent of their ability. "that ‘e proper place to transact the corporation‘s business is at the Council Board." Cautioning them that they would be buttonâ€"holed by people on the street, and urging them not to tie themselves up with promises, Walkâ€" erion‘s Chief Magistrate reiterated to his followers that the logical place to settle all municipal questions was in conclave around the «ivic mahogâ€" needs â€" Instead of writing that weekly letâ€" ter to distant friends, why not have the Review tell them the news of the listrict. Save yourself the trouble of worrving over what to say each week for $2.00 for a whole year. The atmosphere which makes life possible on earth is slowly being deâ€" pleted of its oxygen, and the time must inevitably come when all life on the earth will be wiped out from suffocation near year 1,000,000,935 AD Such was the rather doleful message of a great Princeton scientist on the last day of the year 1934. Professor Henry N. Russell, in his retiring adâ€" dress before the American Associaâ€" tion for the Advancement of Science, told the story of the earth‘s atmosâ€" phere, from the time when this planâ€" et was a newlyâ€"hatched heavenly body, a ball of fire torn away from the sun. "In its early stages," said Dr. Dussell, "the earth must have lost almost though not quite all of its primitive atmosphere. But it then proceeded to get for itself a brandâ€"new mantle of oxy;;en and of nitrogen from its own substance, the magma, or molten rocks of its surâ€" face." This, however, is now difâ€" fusing into the vaccum of interstellar space. But the rate of diffusion is so slow as to be almost imperceptible in a thousand generations. Yet the Professor‘s message was not altoâ€" gether devoid of hope for living creaâ€" New applications for loans will be considered by the board and apâ€" proximately 900 applications which were reviewed and approved by the old board are now being dealt with. These applications mave ibeen inâ€" vestigated again and in numerous cases the amount of loans approved of by the old board have been reâ€" duced considerably. In many cases the approval has been cancelled. Ontario farmers need not lose hope because of the decision to halt loanâ€" ing money. It is believed the Ontarâ€" io government is formulating its agâ€" ricultural policies on the basis of a change of government at Ottawa. The Ontario loans are at 5 per cent and the Federal board loans money at 5% %. Obviously this is too high arf interest rate and undoubtedly it will be lowered if a Liberal adminâ€" istration is formed at Ottawa. Since J. B. Fairbairn, deputy minâ€" ister of agriculture, took over the chairmanship of the board some months ago, an examination of the books and records of the old board have revealed some astonishing facts. Misapplication of funds received by the board from farmers in interest and principal, graning of loans to an amount in excess of actual value of farm properties and general misâ€" management of the work have been revealed . Board has directed public attention | to this phase of activity and has Isomewhat overshadowed *he allâ€"imâ€" portant unemployment relief probâ€" ; lem. Premier Mitchell Hepburn said some time ago that when the true facts concerning the opera/ions of lthe old board under the Henry Govâ€" ernment were disclosed "the public will be staggered." _ Very little has been told about the work of the board under W. B. Roadhouse, who was ousted by the present administration. _ But it is learned on <the highest authority that no department of the government in the province has been so mismanâ€" aged as has the farm loan board. Of $54,000,000 loaned since the board was created by the Drury Governâ€" ment in 1929, $40,000,000 was loanâ€" ed to farmers in the past 4 years. And the vast majority of the 18,009 loans made since 1930 should never have been given it is claimed. It is now considered doubtful whether the province will recover even half of the $54,000,000. The severe criticism launched by the U.F.O.in convention against the policies of the Ontario Farm Loan have disposed of the 900 applicaâ€" tions for loans which were reviewed by the previous board and when the last cheque has been paid out the board will cease to exist as a lendâ€" ing body. According to department officials, the Federal Farm Loan Act will become operative in Ontario unâ€" der enabling legislation to be passed at the next session of the House and all loans will then be under Fedâ€" eral auspices.
