Price control wards off mflatlon in most comâ€" modities and people wisely deposit their money in savings accounts which in turn makes available large credits for new industries, ma- chinery, pe al loans and other necessary projects. The only danger is that people may get into the habit of using the banks for deposits only and be backward about purchasing when the goods they want do eppear on the market.

The wage: and salary control which was lifted December 1st will have little effect now unless labor press for too high wages without increased production. _ The National Employment Service, which arose from wartime conditions, is now one of Canada‘s largest and most essential serâ€" vices. In fact, it might well be the largest emp oyment. agency in the world. Both employers and employees are serviced by National Employâ€" ment Service. Both parties are brought together from different parts of the country. And the service is free. Both Bank of Montreal end Imperial Bank show an increased number of savings accounts and a sizeable increase in total savings. hoi ty «BcA c d t sA $ 3 N’ot so long ago many people had the idea that on completing school their education was ‘over:; others, due to circumstances, had been denied a good education. It was believed that only fanatically amibBitious individuals, through selfâ€"sacrifice and prodigious effort, cbould acquire an education by studying long hours into the night. Pur hermore, adtlt education means improved government, both municipal provincial and federal. People become better qualified to voice intelligent opinions in affairs of state, and our governing bodies muat steadily seek improvement if they are to remain in office. The public eye in which they work is a more educated and discerning one, but at. the.same time mbre just, fair and broadminded.. .

And, being nation wide, the service can help eliminate the possibility of surplus workers pilmg up in one place when their serâ€" vices are needed elsewllere. _ .. The prospect of men looking for work, and suffering hardship, deprivation and lowering of morale while doing so, is being slowly wiped out. For years numerous economists have advanced that very belief, with the contention that as long as consumers had adequate putrâ€" chasing power production would adjust itself. (Consumers, of course, would include ourâ€"export trade as well as home consumption) â€" Yet, in spite of the almost undisputed arguments some governments have, in depression ti.mes maintained the practice of subsidizing producers, ‘hem to destroyâ€"crops or not to produce. And at a time rs, -lackms the necessary purchasing power, were existing on starvation diet and substandard of living. Production might: well be reyulated by consumptive needs. vyIces aro CisEwilorC. ‘f ‘The possibilities of the National fimployment Services are great; and with experience, it may well become one of the strongest pillars of our democratic system. In fact, it could be instrumental in biding farewell to unemployment in Canada. The voters of. Timmins have an obligation too. Voting as you wish is not a privilege in every country, and privileges entail obligaâ€" tions. That obligation is for every voter in Timmins to cast his vote in the municipal election December 18th. «; Mr. G. W. Spisiney, president of the Bank of Montxeal stated at the Bank‘s Ann‘ual meeting recently, that "theâ€"still prevalent idea that purchasing power rather than production is the main spring of employment, income and material wellâ€"being." The beauty of the organization is that membership is open to any in theâ€" municipality who have reached the age of 16 years. That is good, for education is something in which discrimination has no part. In recent years, however, shorter working hours, an awakening thirst for knowledge, together with the initiative and zeal of social improvement folk, have combined to make adult education an acâ€" cepted and valuable institution all across the Dominion. People are realizing that education means enlightenment and undersmnding, that it gives them an opportunity to enjoy and apâ€" preciate pleasures they hardly knew existed before, that their world becomes larger and more interescing in proportion to the learning that is absorbed. ' The South Porcupine Association for Adult Education have ofl‘ically accepted a constitution for their newly formed organization. pered. To voice their opinion is the right of the voters, to disagree is among themselves the right of the officeâ€"holders. To many munâ€" icipal meetings seem a hubbub of confusion, yet from the many genâ€" erations of municipal office holders and hubbubs have come growth and progress. _~ OCriticism is part of the fare an office holder receives during his term of office. Some of it is just and palatable, some is unfair and hard to take; but irregardless in what manner it is served up the office holder must weather the storm, If he‘s wise and steady and keeps his head he‘ll sift the criticism, discarding what he believes wrong, and makting use of what he believes right. Perhaps his jJudgment afly err, but if he has been schooled in the classrooms of our Canadâ€" l8n schools, and worked with and alongside the men and women of his community, he will have a good idea of what the people want, and, under local conditions, the best way to accomplish what is bert for the community. _ Bome people think there is too much bickering and quarreling about and in municipal office. It should be remembered that munâ€" icipal offices since the time of their inception have been the scenes of rivalry and heated arguments and discussions â€" sometimes even fighting. Yet our towns and cities have steadily grown and prosâ€" _ _ Municipal office entails much criticism for its members, but that is as it should be. ‘The holders or members have â€"elected to serve in public office for the good of the voters of the town, and naturally their actions in office are accountable to the public and should be in the public eye at all times.
