publishers maturity other banks have had favorable small loan plans but oa the basis of 6 per annum it is claimed there is no profit in such loans for the banks but rather a loss the banks appear however to regard these loans not so much as a means of adding profits as of adding to prestige and good will in some cases the policy is compared to that of a retail merchant who sells sugar at a loss as a leader to attract customers who may do business with the store in more profitable lines notes and comments the greatness of an editor editor of the newmarket era and express rates him self as a professional fly catcher by laying claim to having slew 47 in one day these editors are modest fellows after all the newmarket quillpusher might well have laid claim to being an able man with the pen and rightly so but he merely claims greatness as a flyswatter in the following note the flies in newmarket seem to be on the increase by actual count and not allowing for the ones which were only stunned and later got up and flew away we slew 47 in one day averaging a minute per fly to include the ones we missed with the f lyswatter and the others we had to follow around until they settled it took nearly an hour to rid ourselves of the pests small loans small savings back 7 in a recent article the financial post claims that the banks are now encouraging small deposits and we can only hope that this is true parents should encourage them too children today are given little or no training at all in the matter of saving their pennies- most of them never saw a childs bank such as was so common in nearly every home 25 years ago or more when pennies were worked for to be saved by the children today they are given to buy ice cream cones or pop but here is the cheery news from the post concerning not only small savings but small loans many of the canadian chartered banks are making special efforts to extend their small personal loan accounts in some cases this is toeing done by urging bank staffs to endeavor to develop these loans in other cases by news paper- advertising one bank the bank of montreal has been running display advertisements showing how much it will cost in actual dollars and cents to borrow 100 or 500 to be repaid in 12 monthly installments when the first draft of the bank act revision was brought down in the house of commons it included a clause authorizing the banks to make personal loans up to 5500 at arate of interest not exceeding that resulting from a discount rate of 5 per cent on a one year loan repayable in equal monthly installments this worked out at about 9t interest on the loan but when the act was finally passed the clause was deleted leaving the banks to be gov erned by the new maximuminterestrate of 6 chargeable on any loan this compares with a previous maximum of t the chartered banks however claim they have always made small loans the canadian bank of commerce some years ago established- a system of making loans on a monthly installment plan at a discount rate of 6 which worked out at an effective rate of around 11 to 12 the borrower does not make interim payments on the loan but makes equal monthly deposits to retire the loan at considering secondary school costs students attending stouffville high school cost- the ratepayers of this community 11270 per pupil and since we have something like 45 pupils our high school costs are 509012 students living in whitchurch township cost the ratepayers of that municipality 12832 per pupil or a total of 826071 the pupil cost is higher in whitchurch than in stouffville because many of their students attend newmarket and aurora schools where the costs of operat ing are higher than stouffville likewise the per pupil cost in markham township is lower or 10480 because mark- ham high school costs are lower than stouffville these figures just issued by the educational committee of york county council are net and do not include government or other grants the total cost of operating the stouffville school would be nearer 12000 although this figure is not shown but the information serves to show that every tax payer in the county has a vital interest from a financial point in education it doesnt matter whether you are a bachelor or a childless married man if you are a tax payer you come in for your slmre of paying for not only public school education but secondary school costs as well the town of mimico has issued a brief that seeks to set out an unjust situation in the matter of assessing school costs to which we hope the department of educat ion will give careful consideration the report emphasizes that while costs in mimico fall much more heavily on the tax payers than they do in the larger centres even more careful consideration is given to expenditures the report rather emphasizes the fact that students in suburban areas are entitled to the same chances along education lines as is the city student the costs are burdensome on the rural areas- the whole problem of assessment comes into the picture and is too complicated for our immature mind to discuss more power but equipment short lifting- of the power restrictions this week as an nounced by the minister of munitions hon w d howe is not expected to have any widescale immediate effect on the demand for power from the ontario hydro there has been a decrease in the demand from certain large scale users for munition purposes whereas there is a great shortage of- transformers forbig signs and other fdrmsof outdoor advertising and as these cannot be obtained im mediately many- such sighs will not operate at once locally the effect will- not be noticed- stouffville was required to cut its load for street lighting but there was no cut made in the business section of the town conse quently there is nothing to restore we look forward to the day when we can procure new style lights with larger candlepower lamps which are not at present obtainable there may be some improvement in the lighting of side streets after the first of the month but this is not certain since the council has riot dealt with the matter merchants may use their window lights again and im prove their store lighting generally without any difficulty jv n ii- can be done for war farmers advocate it will be a difficult task when this conflict is over to convince veterans of

results achieved by the canvass on monday night last by the stouff ville lions club but felt it would be ungrateful of me if i did not drop you a line to say that your splendid editorial and the material placed in your paper was a great factor in the success of the effort and i personally want to express my sincere appreciation to you for the very fine co-operation- received from you and the splendid body of publicspirited men who gave so freely of their time and their money to assist the effort yours sincerely ferguson watkin major 1 christianity and capitalism cannot exit together says

returns hq 4th cdn inf bde to the editor of the stouffville tribune dear editor v i have enjoyed reading your well written articles during my four year exile from my native land i have pouched many countries and have seen the characteristics of different people but canada is still the best to me your paper arriving regularly has kept me in- formod about developments in dustrially and politically in can ada during these momentous days it is encouraging to see the efforts of canadian governments to improve the standard of living of canadian citizens by giving children bonuses and by soldier gratuities but the vital problem to the service man is what are the canadian people going to do with the vast resources which can be used for waging war etc our nickel mines- are we going to allow a few directors of- the inter national nickel co to have the say in what is the final function of such resources we have let them have their fling in the past what have they done they built up the power of the dictators hitler and his japanese colleagues to wage war on libertyloving people should not the canadian public be informed who these sinister direct ors were should not they be brought to trial along with their puppets for their horrible crimes against humanity lately we have seen the flower of canada torn limb from limb by the cruel shells made by the agents of world fin ance dividends to the sharehold ers sitting comfortably on their chesterfields admiring the strategy of our generals have increased to a marked extent but we have seen dividends of a different nature to the soldiers of all nations and to the unfortunate civilians who happened to be in the road of- the whirlwind engendered by the ogres of finances possibly our fight to control the resources of our country which our hardy fore fathers pioneered with incessant and arduous toil will be more difficult than defeating the german army but we are not going to back away from the task the forests and frosts did not daunt the canadian pioneers neither shall the vicious progaganda in canadas daily press directed against the ccf the only peoples party de ceive us we recognize the tone of their masters voice the unseen hand in st james street has been running canada long enough let johnny canuck have a go at it- we say we are fighting to main tain our christian religion against the forces of evil let us not stop halfway let us scrap the old sel fish capitalist system which has done so much to warp mans es scntially social nature into some thing ugly and monstrous- let us forsake bur little tin gods called liberalism and conserva tism both the agents of the same unscrupulous world financiers cleanse o ur young country from those slimy creatures known as party heelers who carry j the bann er of democracy intone hand and trade money and liquor for- free mens votes with the other capitalism based on the profit system is essentially selfish buy as cheaply as you can whether labor or material sell as dearly as you can even if your price de prives struggling humanity the good things which the creator has supplied for all people that on earth do dwell christianity is the religion of un selfishness the sermon ofi the mount exorts man to be a social being and at sunday school we learned the two great command ments of love hence capitalism and christianity cannot exist to gether in the same society for many centuries we have been professing christianity wiltt our mouths and practising the opposite with our hands let us be consistant and establish a social society in which we can live a true christians lately we have been hearing the joyful cries of liberated people vive la france vive belgie let us hope that in the not too distant future we shall hear the canadian people
