Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited lo Hayfield street Barrie Ontario THURSDAY NOV Pagi NEAT TRICKIF THEY CAN DO ITl RECORD IS POOR Problems For Russians The constant boasting of the Russians and the curious awe with which some Western spokesmen regard Communist progress can create the impression that he Soviet Union moves from one victory to another and that its people are super men Soviet achievement has been great it is true But there are some facts which should not be forgotten They have their foreign and domestic troubles differences with China cancer in the satellites refusal of neutrals to be bought with arms and dams increased unity in Western Europe failure of ca italism to hehave according to the ommunist book internal economic woes Because theirs is totalitarian state the Russian bosses can concentrate money material and their best people in certain areas and achieve substantial results They have done this in missile and rocket development and in space ex ploration But this is far from being the whole story With more than ten times the population of Canada for instance they have less than twice the railway mileage The Soviet Union has less than 900000 miles of highways with only 145000 mil es hard surfaced Canada has more than 267000 miles of surfaced and improved concrete cementbituminous and stone roads and streets as well as 206000 miles of unimproved roads Canadas er per son production of electricity culated in kilowatt hours is about five times that of the Soviet Unions Canadas pro ducers of grains potatoes get per acre yield twice or three times as great as that of the Soviet farmers When comparison is made with the United States the Soviet record becomes even poorer This should not cause any complac ency on our part The Russians are cer

belief too But it was not the belief lbs claims They fought and dle to that Canada could be free from for cign declination for freedom to order and direct their lives as the majority wished and do aided They were so Canadian that they even disliked being under any command that was not Canadian flielr pride in Canadian and what they could do was unshakeable Now some wish to give away that freedom and put Canadians under foreign control and dam ination to put terms of work and remuneration and mnlordo clsious into the hands of those who owe no loyalty to our poo lo and have only their own or national interests to consider They wish to sell their birthright and heritage far paltry consideration Those who lie in the battlefields would turn over in their graves to hear their names used in this way If union members truly want the support of the people of Canada let them throw off this American domination and con trol and toss out the subversive elements There are good men in Canada with the brains to lead them Let the unions dedis cats themselves to the advance ment of Canada and all her people let them form organi zations subject and responsible only to the laws of Canada and the will afgher people When they dispose of the gangsters and foreigners and communists and become truly Canada for Canadians the veterans in thousands will rally behind them along with all who are jealous of our freedom and rights In this way can we hold high the faith of those who fought and died so that this could be Respectfully yours JUST VETERAN QUEENS PARK GARAGE SERVICE Del and

were shopping the Aliandaie part of town and were stopped by ma ennui big when he could get some ano to look at his car which had broken down on Bradford Street We drove this unfor tunato traveller all over Barrie and no open service station or garage was to be found One garage man who was closed but in said he would ace what he could do at in oclock the next morning We drove this man back to his cu when his wife and four tired wen pretty cold by this time His wife had the baby tucked under her coat They were on their way to North Bay and had apparently stopped in Barriovfor bite to ca wish the people who made the Law closing service stations early could have seen these people The groupie were ob vlnusly at good citizens ueverthe ess and the man and his wife were sincerely grateful to us We were just making ar rangements to take them to our home when my sonvinlaw fla aly managed to start their car We guided them to Highway 400 north and waved them on their way Surely at least one service station should be allowed to re main open 24 hours with me chanic on duty or oven until midnight If this state of affairs con tinues to exist all the squuwlt lug about motels will be elim inated not to mention apart ment buildings as the multitude of people who have stopped in Barrie to eat etc after seven oclock and found they couldnt even get their car tended to probably wont be back Yours sincerely NEIL Barrie Expect No Bold Steps From Govt by non oaaanN TORONTONo bold new steps are to be expected out of the Roberts government for while Must liker the next several months will see the greatest ef fort centered on the PCorgan izatlon The immediate target of Mr Roberts and his supporters will be the next federal election And the first task that must be undertaken is thorough renovation of the partys pell tlcal machinery NEXT SUMMER Until next summer therefore we quite probably can expect more or less standpat govern ment What will have to be dopewill be done but there will be little stepping out into new fields This years session in fact probably will be largely an op position session Both the Liberals and the NPDs are in position to be more aggressive than in the past But oncatbe federal vain is over you would look to Mr Roberts to move He will then have year be fore he has to go to the lis provldlng the national eection is held in the springand be will want to make ready Then we can expect to see him form his first real cabinet the cabinet he will choose strictly on his own personal judgment And we can ard to seeing new policies and program planks in line with his personal thinking AVOIDS TROUBLE He should not be hurt seri ously by such standby period One definite imperssion the new premier has given is that he will be able to keep out of trouble in the house in his approach in his years as member and minister he has been much like Premier Frost He has shown he can keep quiet personal control and not be halted into arguments unless he feels there is good ground for gains ECONOMIC ACION One exception to this choral course probably will the new department of economics and development Changes and new policies can be expected out of it

Correspondent for The Barrie Examiner LONDON Employees of lin perial Chemical Industries are finding it very much worth their while to be shareholders in the company and to hang on to the shares which they re ceiva each year as bonus from this huge firm Because of this speculators on the London Stock Exchange have had their fingers badly burned in their dealings in let shares Last month some 63000 om ployecs of the Imperial Cham ical Industries received th annual share bonus His am ounts varying in accordance with their length of service In all 2816000 bonus shares were distributed to employees of the company BEAM SOLD SHOM Anticipating that the bulk of the employees would be aalii their bonus sharar to turn them into cs speculators on the stock exchange started movement of selling ICI short It was their hope that the workers would dump their shar es on what is vary tender market and drive the price down by several shillings After the fail the speculators ed to clear up nice profit by buyin the shares at the cheap er pr ca But things did not happen rthat waynlho workers of the ICI have not sold their shares on the market at all Instead they have been buying any that have been offered by followem ployees desirous of turning them into ready cash than those at which they staff canteen manageress said None of my girls would think of selling ICl shar es If any workers did sell it would be the men But shop steward countered this by saying We are certainly not sellers This week my mates on the site have been buying lct shar es in lots of from as to 50 PRICE HAS RISEN Chairman Paul Chambers of the company confirmed this The workers are not selling he said and when they do they like to sell to each other They are more likely to sell Itheir shares on rising mar up The net result is that since the share distribution was made instead of the price dropping as the bear spec ulators had hoped the price has gone up by about 45 cents share The gamblers who had hoped to make money by sel ling short and buying back at lower prices have been badly fooled They are having to buy their shares at higher sold them and have lost consid erable sums of money in so doing The only people to benefit are the Imperial Chemical In dstries employees who ve refused to sell their bonus holdings They have seen the prices rise sharply since th by acquired their shores and the aggregate are better off by about million dollars And according to market ex perts they are likely to reap even larger profits as British conditions generally improve leaf and enamel quaintanco with the maidser
