District Doings i DANCE GOES ON AS ROBBERS WORK TO SOFT MUSIC Jackson's Point -- Young couples were dancing, and soft western music floated from the Mossington Park dance pavilion over the quiet waters of the Black River.

Clipped Comments VIEWS 'ON ADVERTISING Merchants who do not advertise are .| invited to read the following from the American Bankers' Magazine, as it might give them a new slant on busi- ness, your own business, as well as the matter of building up your town, No "business man in any town should allow a newspaper published in his town to go without his name and business being mentioned somewhere in its columns, This does not mean you should have a whole, half or even' a quarter page ad, in each isaue of the paper, but your name and business should be mentioned, if you do not use more than a two-line space. A stranger picking up' a newspaper, should be able to tell what business is represented in a town by looking at the paper. This is the best possible town advertiser. The man who does not advertise his business does an in- justice to himself and the town. The man who insists on sharing the bus- iness that comes to town, but refuses to advertise his own is not a valuable addition to any town. The life of a town depends on the live, wide-awake and liberal advertising business men." --Leduc Representative. MORE BRITISHERS AVAILABLE British emigrants coming to Canada may now bring with them the full al- lowance of £2,000, instead of drawing it in four annual installments as for- merly. They also may bring to their new homes all revenue from sterling' investments as it accrues. Up to now there also has been a four-year block imposed on the removal of such in- come from Britain, : Since the war the now abandoned regulations have been a most serious barrier against the migration to Can- ada of small business-men and trades-| men and family groups. With-holding of their capital for four years pre- vented them from setting up indepen- dent businesses. As a result, most of} them preferred to stay at home ra-' ther than bring their families here to subsist on wages in unfamiliar em- ployments, F 'The change also removes the fa- vorite excuse of the Dominion's Im- | migration 'Department for the rela- tively poor showing of British immi- grants, as against those fom Contin- ental Europe.

It would be so if they were not con- selous of the beginning of a sick head- ache due to a stomach upset or eye- strain. The question is whether they should take aspirin at once or wait for the headache to get worse. It would be so if they could concen- trate on what they are doing, <but when they try to think they find them- selves getting drowsy Because of their state of mind they have made several careless mistakeg already, So, on the whole, they conclude that there is no use trying to force them- selves. They will not start out on any new projects that call for extra exertion. Instead, they will take it easy and try to stick out the rest of the day. 1 A good solid night's sleep is what they need. So they will drag them- selves home and go early to bed, trust- ing that tomorrow they will feel as rested and refreshed as they should haye felt today. Scugog W.

Fish & THE GREEN THISTLE RESTAURANT Chips OURS ¥ N A + BUSINESS D Ll -- Apart from the movement of Bri- tish families to this British Dominion, the new regulations are further evi- dence of the Treasury's confidence in the recent strength of sterling. The official estimate is that the annual cost to the Treasury will be about a million pounds. Such a drain on the reserves could not have been accom-' modated a few short years ago. The new regulations apply to emi- grants seeking new homes any place abroad, but are designed especially to encourage families to locate 'in Can- ada and the United States. Their normal preference is Canada. From now on, the main activity of our Im- migration Department should be to fill the gaps in our populatign struc- ture with as many of these British families as will come to us. : --Glgbe .& Mall THE DAY AFTER THE HOLIDAY The day after a holiday is one 'on which persons return to their, labors, rested and refreshed.
