PAGE ETGET THURSDAY, AUGUST 20. 1953 THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, BOWMA VLE ONTARIO Handwriting Analyst Cives Interesting Character Reading Of Durham County's Popular N.P.P. Don't know how many read- ers of The Statesman take an irlterest in character reading from handwriting, but Muriell Stafford, internationally famousi handwriting analyst, whosal findings appear daý'ly in the Ta- ronto, Globe and Mail, are creating widespread interest. Taý thro"e who know intimately Hon.1 John W. Foote, M.P.P., VOC., Min- ister of Reforma Institutions and the popular, member represent- ing Durham County in the On- tario Legislature, they will agree that Miss Stafford bas dane aný excellent job in analyzing Ma- jnr Foot's character, which ap- peared as follows in ber column an August A~th: Your Handwriting Intuition Vividly Revealed By Quick, Clean Letters 1' By Muriel Stafford Do you frequently know sarne one is not telling the truth with- out being abie ta explain haw you know? And do you have hunches that seem almost un- canny? Then perhaps you, too, have the gift of intuition shown sa vividly in the handwriting af John W. Foate, Minister of Re- form Institutions. Intuition is shawn in several ways in this handwriting but especially note the way letters often stand, trimmed and un- Connécted in the mniddle af words. This is mast naticeable in the word Foate. If yau discannect yaur letters in this quick, clear way yau can aimost read the mindis of others. Yau knaw the right word at the right time. You are charmingc, gifted and understanding be- cause you have such vivid awareness. When the letters af the wards slant rightward in such an in- tuitive writing, the writer's sen- sitivity is increased. He is a OBITUARY GEORGE A. MûQUARRIE The deathi occurred Aug. 14, fallawing a heart attack, at the lamily rasidance, 84 Burk Street, Oshawa, ai George Arthur Mc- Quarria, for over 40 years an employee of Ganeral Motors ai Canada. Mr. McQuarrie was 63 years ai age, baving heen born at Ken- dal, son ai the late Mr. and Mrs. John McQuarrie, on May 4, 1890. Ha was married in Peter- borough an May 3, 1911, and Iivad north ai Bowmanville ha- fore going ta Oshawa 42 years ago. As an employee with 40 years service with Ganeral Mo- tors af Canada, he bad recaived bis quarter-century ring andi vary difficult persan ta mislead but a mast sympatlietic and helpful persan if you are sincere. Those who combine intuition and logic may disconnect the let- ters in words, as in "ta you". True intuition is the resuit o! an extremely rapid mind that grasps everything in a flash. The pan is guided by mental processes and quick thinkers dis card some strokes and add othars in the attempt ta match the speed ai their swift inspira- tions. Taîl, simply formed capitals show idealistic aspirations as well as much self-confidence and the power ai leadership in Mr. Foote's writing. The siight curva in the first stroke af the lettars M and H also reveals a good sanse ai humor that keeps the writer £rom taking every- thing too seriously - as some idaalists are inclined ta do. Thosa who are undar Mr. Foote's direction will find bimi ïmmadiately rasponsive. His bandwriting certainly reveals ha is well-chosen for bis position,.. threa diamonds. Mr. McQuarrie is survived by bis wifa, who was formerly Lo- ra B. Hinds; one daughter, Mrs. Floyd Clarke (Joan Ann), Osh- awa and threa sons, Donald, of Longmeadow, Mass., U.S.A., Clifford and Keith, Oshawa.

Reln en him P THE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES IN CANADA Ottawa Citizen Gives Some Inieresiing Noies On Life'of Geo. Pingle In a feature column by Madge Macbeth, in the Ottawa Evening Citizen of August lst, George W. Pingle, a native of Bawman- ville, cames in for considerable mention. The article, dealing with early days af the theatre, mentions that Mr. Pingle used ta play end man in same af the George Fingie early minstral shows staged in Otttawa and rehearsad by Frea- man Gosden, who later became world-famous'as "Amas" in the "Amas and Andy' radio pro- gram. George Pingle, a former alder- man ai Ottawa, and ana ai the founders af the largest firma in Ottawa selling musical instru- ments, Robertson, Pingle & Tii- îey, is a brother ai Norman Pin- gle, Mrs. Sam Glanvîlle and Mrs. Reta Glanville, Bowman- ville, and Baden Pingle. Hamp- ton. The store, situated on Sparks St. in Ottawa, in recent years added elactrical applian-1 ces ta its wide stock. As mentionad in the Citizen article, Mr. Pingle started his career as a piano tuner. Where be began it was in the old Dom- inion Organ & Piano Ca. here, as did s0 many other good crafts- men. Mr. Pingle told his Ottawa interviewer that most good pi- ano tuners got thair training in piano factories, and that it took four years ta develop a good ane. Mr. Pingle went from Bow- manville ta Peterborough, and from there ta Ottawa. In Ottawa in 1914, he said, there were 21 pianc tuners. Now thera would be difficulty in finding balf a dozan. Fewer men are interested in it as a profession than in the old days, and also piano dwners ara nat as particular about keeping instru- ments proparly tuned as former- ly, according ta Mr. Pingle. Tel- evision and radio have prohably affected the number ai pianos owned too, as ewell as the lack ai space in pregent-day small bouses. Apparently Mr. Pingle at ana time developed a furniture pal- ish which was so good that the demand exceeded the time lie bad ta giva ta its manufacture, and it was therafore discontinu- ad, much ta the disappointmnent ai many Ottawa citizens. He says ha took up gardening in- stead. .Wa are indebted ta Rupert G. Hamblyn, another Bowmanvilla boy living in Ottawa, for his thoughtfulness in sanding us this interesting item af a fallow townsman. Builders of Better Communities to Meet Nexi Monih The vital raie played by local Chambers of Commerce or Boards of Trade in building bat- ter communitias across Canada will ha bighligbted at the 24th annual meeting ai The Canadian Chamber ai Commerce, ta be beld in Edmonton, Sept. 14-17. During ana full session, in which business and community leaders from ail across Canada and delegateÉ from many ai the Canadian Chamber's close ta 700 member Boards and Cham- bers across the nation will take part, debate will ha devoted ta ways and means ai improving community service, and the building ai a stili stranger Chamber ai Commerce maya- ment, tbrough which ta carry out collectiveiy, timaly, national programs. And ta think Bow- 1 manvilla wili miss the benefit 1 ai this nationwide gathering ai builders ai batter communities because its business and indus- trial and professional men have become self-satisficd. Main subjects under discus- sion in addition ta "Devaloping Board and Chamber Activity at the Community Levai," will ha "Econamic Education for Frea- dom," "The Business Outlook," and "Foreign Trada." At the Annual Meeting. tha policy af Canadas national busi- ness organizatian for the year ahead is decidad. Resolutions on such tbings as trade, immigra- tion, free enterprise, natural ra- sources development, and taxa- tion, submitted by the member Boards ai Trade and thambers ai Commerce are considered and votad upon. This year a propos- ed policy statement on national health services will ha present- ed for the consideration ai the Annual Meeting. Each Board and Chamber has a vote ai equal weight, irrespective ai size. Re- solutions adapted by the Annual Meeting become policy ai the Canadian Chamber. They are presented ta the faderai govern- ment and they become the ba- sis for the variaus sýubmissions at Ottawa - and the public state- ments ai the Chamber through- out the year. EBoth Farmiers and Consumers WiI1 ho Part 'icularly Interested In Aunnai Report of Canada Packers 1A record volume af product sold, but lower dollar sales were revealed by Mr. J. S. McLean, President, in the repart ai Can- ada Packers Limited for year ended March 25, 1953, just re- leased. Sales volume wa.s 1,859 million pounds compared with 1,708 million paunds the pre- viaus year, an increase ai 8.8%. Dollar sales were dawn 117o frorm $390,000,000 ta $386,000,000. Net earnings we"e $4,400,598, equivalent ta slightly less than 14c per pound ai product sold and 1.14% of dollar sales, com- pared with just under '/8c per paund and 1/2 of 1 % ai sales the preceding year. Since the Com- pany was organizai in 1927, net earnings have averaged 16.2c per 100 lbs. of product sold and 1.105% ai sales. Mr. McLean points out that the decrease in dal'ar sales was flot unexpected. While the prices ai many foods registered oniy a slight change and a faw advanc- ed, prices ai ail meats, which represent 60% ai the Company's business, declined an average af 22%. The most drastic declinei was in cattle, and consequantly beef, prices. Betwean October, 1947, when ceiling pricas ware abolishad and January. 1952, prices ai goad steers advancad from 131/2c par lb. ta 34e per lb.-an increasa oi 152%. Dur- ing the same period the increase in the price ai ail foods (includ- ing meats) was 4617c. Whila the immadiate cause ai the break in meat :.rices was the U.S. embargo on meats impased as a resuit ai the outbreak of foot and mouth disease in Feb- ruary, 1952, a decline could flot in any case, Mr. McLean states, bave been long deiayed. Since removal af the U.S. em- bargo (March 2nd, 1953), little beef or park bas been 'exported. The reason was that bath cattie and hog prices. wr-re higher in Canada than in the U. S., "1whicb", Mr., McLean adds, "means that prices in *Canadaà were the highest in the world". While, production in excesai damestic demand will stiil have ta move ta United States, Mr. McLean concludes that, due to increases in population and pur- chasint power, the time may flot be far distant when over quita long periods Canada wil berseli consume all the meats produced bere. The results ai the year' made it possible for Canada Packers ta resume bonus payments, and a sum ai $1,700,000 was set aside for distribution ta employees. Of this, $200,000 was distribut- ed amongst retired employees, supplementing their retirement pensions. The remaining $1,500,- 000 went ta active emplayees.
