The world and the heavens above and around it are full of richness and wonder, Thousands upon thousands of years the sun, the moon, and . the stars have been shining, the seasons have come and gone; harvests have been garnered; birds and flowers have beautified the earth with color and song. The pity of it is that many of the most miserable people on earth (rich and poor) never see these glorious riches that have been there all the time. They are so concerned with personal matters - great and small, that they miss the finest and most enduring pleasures -- pleasures that cost nothing but appreciation, and. the ing in of their richness. "i The more completely we become wrapped up in ourselves, the more thoroughly we shut out the beauties of 'nature's storehouse, "The observant man sees not only beauty but he sees opportunity where others sec nothing but waste. A whole new world has been built out of former waste by the observant man. Coal tar yields the colors of the rainbow, and the perfume of a million flowers, Pitch-blande is found to be the home of radium. Aluminum comes from clay, glass from sand, rayon silk and celophane From wood, nylon silk from coal. These things which have made such great changes in modern life, were there all the time. They have been waiting for the seeing man to discover them and put them to their proper use. + + & * ON BEING NEUTRAL It is well said that there is nothing new under the sun. Certain it is that writers of early days studied human life clearly. Read this AEsop fable, and see how well it fits modern neutral countries: The Birds, the Beasts, and the Bat. Once ipon a time there was a fierce war be- tween the Birds and the Beasts. For a long time' "the issue of the contest was uricertain, and the Bat, taking advantage of his ambiguous nature-- part Bird and part beast--kept aloof, and re- mained neutral. seemed to be getting the better of it, the Bat _joined their forces, and appeared active in the "7 fight; but a rally being made by the Birds, which proved successful, the Bat was found at the end ~-- of the:day among the ranks of the winning party. A peace being speedily concluded, the Bat's con- duct was condemned alike by both parties; and; being acknowledged by neither, and so excluded by the terms of peace, he was obliged to skulk off as best he could; and has ever since lived in holes and corners, never daring to show his face except "in the darkness of twilight." simple drink- At length, when the Beasts .. power of the individual. Futhermore, the ability THE FUTURE OF FOOD IN CANADA Because of Canada's immense wheat supply, it is unlikely that there will be any great rise in food prices in Canada.. Flour, cereals, macaroni, - will remain at a fairly low level. Bacon, cheese, and canned milk will likely advance in the home market, as there is a brisk export market, Britain being the chief customer. Increasing employment means casier money and a greater willingness to spend. This, of -- course, will have a tendency to advance prices. Another factor will be a move toward cash and carry systems, owing to the fact that there is a growing scarcity of delivery boys--and free ser- vice to customers will likely be curtailed. Labor shortage will be felt in the canning industry, too. Competition is very keen in the grocery busi- ness, and this fact will likely prove to be of value to the consumer, by keeping prices at a small profit margin. , : Naturally, imported fruits like dates, currants, raisins, ete, will be dearer owing to increased costs and risks in transportation. Canadian housewives--can do a good piece of work for themselves by using apples, pears, and other Canadian fruits, particularly apples, of which there is an abundant crop. * * * * MAXIMUM EARNING POWER (Canadian Business) The gap between the wages of capital and the wages of labour grows-narrower, For instance, the recent war loan gave a yield to maturity of 3%% before income taxes. «If, 'however, a man has a taxable income of $10,000 a year, and + ) ditional income would be taxed at the rate of about 507% on the basis of federal' income and de- fence levies combined with average provincial and municipal income taxes. Consequently, if he adds to his income by purchasing a bond yielding 3%, the effective yield is only 1%%. Compare this with the 5% tax free bonds issued during the last war. This difference comes not only from changes in the demand and supply of money but other factors have been of greater importance. The drop from 5% % to a net 1%%% for investors in the higher tax brackets, sharply reveals the degree of government control which has been as- sumed during the past two decades and the grow- "ing social responsibilities which tend to define the maximum as well as the minimum for earning of Canada to borrow at such a low rate of inter- ost reflects creditably on the effective manner in which the Bank of Canada is directing the financing of our war effort.
