DAILY AVERAGE CIRCULATION for JUNE 10,617 THURSDAY, JULY 19, 1951 Accent On Savings Plain old-fashioned saving -- putting money in the bank against a rainy day -- is a. virtue at any time, but at the present juncture it has a very important value. Sav- ing in time of inflation, an excellent thing when it can be done, is much more than an admirable habit; it can be a powerful weapon against the problem every Canadian faces today. And actually it can be done. Strapped as we are by rising prices, the hard fact of the matter, according to the economists, is that we still have more money to spend in Canada than we have supplies of case, the obvious answer seems to be one of . two things. We have a choice of either cut- ting down on our spending, or, in other words, saving more, or of producing more goods. Better still would be a combination of both. Some people prefer to seek a solution in price control. The government already has the authority to institute controls if and when it sees fit. But as we see, the trouble with price controls is that they add nothing to what people can buy and take mothing away from what they have to spend. Controls also hold some prices below their natural levels, and thus leave extra purchas- ing power free to compete for other goods. The only way really to reduce the pressure on prices is to put the surplus purchasing power that already exists into savings. Inflation is making our currency look more and more anaemic. It needs a trans- fusion, and the best way of performing the operation would be to combine greater pro- duction with increased savings. And, to bor- row an educational slogan from one of the chartered banks: saving does not cost--it pays. Two Per Cent Milk Minister of Agriculture T. L. Kennedy has come forward with a suggestion which, if adopted, would make a substantial reduction in the price of milk to the consumer. He suggests that the marketing of milk con- taining not more than two per cent of milk fat be allowed in Ontario. The present legal standard of whole milk for human consump- tion is 3.4 per cent, but most of the milk now distributed ranges from 3.6 to 3.8 per cent. Reduction of the butter-fat content to two per cent would reduce the cost, because part of the cream would be separated, and utilized in other markets, probably in mak- ing butter. There is good sound common-gense in the minister's suggestion, although it is not likely that it would be popular with house- wives. Reducing the amount of butter fat in the milk would not interfere in any way with its nutritive elements. All the minerals and chemicals which make it a valuable food, particularly for children, would still be there. Only part of the fat would be removed, and for many purposes that would be a distinct advantage. The medical profession is agreed that reducing the percentage of butter-fat would still give children the nutrition for which milk is invaluable. Many people already drink skimmed milk, especially people who are inclined to put on weight,. or who wish to reduce their weight. The suggestion of the minister of agricul- ture would provide a product half-way be- tween skimmed milk and the standard pro- duct of today. The minister believes that such a product could be sold at a price three cents a quart below the level of the standard 3.4 per cent milk. If Col. Kennedy is sincere in his sugges- tion, he has the enactment of it in his own hands. He can introduce legislation to make it legal to sell two per cent milk, and if he introduces it in the legislature in its present composition, it will become law. But as we have said, it will not be popular with. house- wives. They would gladly pay the extra three cents a 'quart to find a thick layer of _ eream on top of the milk Rstie. Pe Callous Act Magistrate Frank Ebbs, in court at Whit- by this week, severely castigated a motorist who drove away from the scene of an acci- dent after injuring four people, at least one of them seriously. Terming this conduct on the part of the hit-and-run driver a "callous act" the magistrate imposed a penalty of six months in jail, and on a second charge, that of dangerous driving, imposed a fine of $100 or an additional two months in jail. This meting out of justice for an offence for which there is no valid excuse is to be warmly commended. As the magistrate said in passing sentence: "This accident caused very serious damage to a number of people, and I understand that at least one of the young women who was hurt may be permanently injured. You did not even stop to find out how badly these people were : injured and what you could do to help." These strictures were well deserved, and might be applied with equal force to all cases of hit-and-run driving on the part of motor- ists. In too many cases the parties guilty of dangerous driving when accidents occur seek to escape the consequences of their carelessness or negligence by getting away from the scene as quickly as possible. They have no thought for the welfare of those they have injured, Their own desire is to save their own skins, and in many cases, they are never discovered. It is encouraging to find that, in a case of this kind in which the culprit was found and brought into court, our magistrate was im- pressed with the severity of the offence and administered a stiff penalty in keeping with it. dar ' Editorial Notes goods on which to spend it.

Young boys ride in a carefree style, hither and yon. Many cay drivers are little better though they travel at high speed. As highway traffic is developing in Ontario it might be worth considering whether boys riding bicycles on highways should not be prohibited. + L * PRICE OF BEEF (Brockville Recorder and Times) Since the price of bzef has begun to skyrocket, the idea of consuming horse meat is becoming less and less repulsive! In fact, a chain of stores to sell horsemeat in Toronto is being planned by a firm in that city. It is their belief that the relative cheap- ness of the meat will make it quite popular in certain areas. ® A Bit of Verse o - FLOWER ARRANGEMENT I Jook with wonder on this lovely sight-- As delicate and fragrant as a dream-- A background of pale fluttering sweet peas With tiny rose-buds peeping shyly through And violets finding gay companionship With starry blossoms of ethereal blue; While here and there, like spears of pearly lace, While valley lilies find their special place And bits of pink azalea add an air Of formal dignity and studied grace; All resting on the firm, supporting mouth Of a diminutive Itallan vase.

"This is worthy of comment because it af- fords so great a contrast from the "take-it or leave-it" attitude of our own Canadian immigration authori- ties. Here we seem to take the at- titude that if immigrants want to come to Canada the door is open for them, but as for going out and trying to dig 'thém up and persuade them to come here with specific in- ducements, well, that is not the Canadian way of doing things. New Zealand has had a nice flow of immigrants from Britain since World War Two came to a close. Now, however, the flow is slackening off, and the New Zealand govern- ment proposes to do something to stimulate it. The particular need of the Dominion down under is for married couples and families wish- ing; to settle there. To induce them to go to New Zealand, the govern- | ment has made a drastic change in | its immigration policy. | It has been the New Zealand plan | of the migration there couples, and to seek, was followed because of the acute housing shortage. The ercome, so now preference and as- married couples to settle in New Zealand, Great inducement to British grants is in the form of passages to married couples and theig families. So far, these free passages are on a somewhat restrict- ed basis, being allowed only families of workers in certain in- dustries which are in urgent need of help. These categories, however, are now being extended. Families are now being brought to New Zealand at the government's ex- pense for hydro-electric construc- tion projects, and for them tem- porary houses are being built. En- couragement is also being given to the importation of pre-fabricated houses, by abolishing all customs duties on them. So in many cases migrating families are bringing mi- along with them. pects to provide free passages for 10,000 immigrants this year. It has chartered a steamer, the Empire Bryant, to transport them, and is looking around for a second vessel to charter. This is an example of a progres- sive and well-organized immigra- tion program, one which will be cer- tain to bring the right kind of peo- ple to New Zealand. We have noth- ing like it for Canada at the pres- ent time. We doubt if our govern- ment would ever again consider a very effective in the early years of the present century. But if @anada has to compete with New eZaland for a steady flow of immigrants of the right type, our government will certainly have to step up whatever inducements it is now offering in order to stimulate British folk to come to this country.

Can't Afford More People The Financial Post, Toronto) The - Ontario Government may {have to offer considerably more {than at present if it expects any real interest on the part of the | municipalities for its rental housing {plan. The blunt truth is that many | municipalities are not anxious for {new housing and new population. | They feel that with present school | costs they cannot afford residential | expansion. { Explanation for this attitude is | found in the fact that residential | property does not produce the tax | revenues required to meet the cost of additional investment in schools and services. A new school neces- | sitates the expenditure of $1,000 per | per pupil to build, and 200 per pu- | pil per year to maintain, And while | provincial help is forthcoming in | the servicing of land by extending | water and sewer mains in new developments, this does not include the cost of a major expansion in municipal plant, necessary in many places because present facilities are strained to the utmost. The situation is serious. Ontario municipalities have no cushion for additional debt charges, and ine vestors are demanding higher yields on municipal bonds. 'There are political implications as well; prop- erty owners resist rising tax rates and indeed, every increase makes prospects for home ownership less eligible for mortgage financing, thereby boosting the demand for rental housing. The wisdom of municipalities' as- suming the role of landlords is, at this time and in the light of past experience, extremely questionable. The alternative is more ownership housing. But even then, the prob- lem of providing schools and services for new residential areas remains.

All Rights Reserved INSIDE QUEENS PARK Forestry Dep't Methods Fort Frances--The Lands and Forests Department is going to some strange lengths to defend it- self in the series of articles, which as has been noted here before, it is running in its official news re- lease on "integrated forestry oper- ations", In one of the releases, for in- stance, it made the quite dogmatic statement that planting of trees was not the answer to sustaining yield. Yet we find that here the Ontario and Minnesota Paper Com- 'pany which of course is top, dog in the area and is known on the side as the Minnesota and Ontario, O. and M. in Ontario M. and O, in Minnesota! is quite proud of the tree planting program it follows in its timber policy. In another of the releases the department, over the signature of the Minister Hon. Harold Scott is critical over an un-named operator who turns out pressed saw-dust logs. The bulletin in a paragraph which certainly has a very remote connection, if any at all, with "Integrated forestry operations" makes a case that these logs are un-economic. The unnamed operator, of course, is Fort William's turbulent Eddie Johnson with whom the department has been carrying on its curious feud. And to whose attacks the whole series are a clduded reply. One doesn't criticize the depart- ment for getting out all the in- formation it can on integrated logg- ing. Certainly little enough is known about it Including, one sus- pects, by itself. But is not a po- litical department but a depart- ment of government and should be fair and impartial--and if it doesn't believe in being fair then let it at least be clever. There is a lot to admire in this department. It is a big branch of government, it has some exceed- ingly good men and in outline matters. as separate from policy, it apparently is doing an outstand- ing job. In the same vein one can't hold too much' brief for either lumber or pulp operators, particularly in this section of the gountry -- from Nipigon West.. They have a rough and tough history behind them and as yet are not far beyond the er-- pioneering days. They have ppere ated in the "what's mine is mine, and 'what is yours I'll try to get by hook or by crook" school and they still have strong traces of their tradition. But we think the department is wrong 'in taking sides. When it shows so tender a skin on its capac~ ity at least. And when on taking sides it does a clumsy job one can even less admire it. It is our impression that the pres- ent government, at the top level at least, is trying to do a fair and square job for everybody but in« efficiency will gum up even the most conscientious administration, In the case of pressed logs, for instance, if Mr. Johnson is the hungry man it has been inferred he is 'it seems unlikely for one minute he would produce some- thing that wasn't paying a profit. To infer he was is to us both clumsy and inefficient. Has 40-Year-0ld Son Weds Third Wife 16 Marion, Ill.
