EXCHANGE FUND WILL BOOST TRADE Canada took a leading >part in the agreement .to create an 8.(.»OO,OO0,000 international exchange stabilization fund which will be used t^ facilitate world trade after the war. As one of the leading export nations of the wovld, establishment of such a fund is most importaiit to the Dominion. Operation of the fund should vitally as.sist Canada to find foreign mark- ets for wlieat and other agricultural produce as well as for manufactured products. In the past wide differences in exchange have often operated as prohibitive tariffs, slowing up sales abroad. Prime Minister King made it vtry clear to Parliament that the Dominion does not intend to adhere t the central' exchange plan unlc.-'s other barriers to export trade are rt-moved by International action. Britain and the United States dif- fered sharply on some as.i)«cts of the exchange agreement. Canada submit- ted a compromise monetary plan which proved the basis of the agree- ment reached by 24 United Nations. MR. KING PRESSES POST-WAR PL.\NS Some modern poetry is published as "free verse." Even with that stip- ulation it would be dear â€" and perhaps hard to understand. PORTLAW Miss Ruth Hutchison of Montreal si>ent a few days with her uncles, Messrs. Les and Arthur Chard here.

Thia order includes the announcements of the arrival of soldiers who notify their homes by caible.

It will therefore not be po'ssible for the Advance just now to announce arrivals overseas until this new order is rescinded. I MEN'S 1 SMART SUITS I Just placed in stock an assortment of better '^ X quality worsteds in a variety of dolors and X patterns. Good fitting and well tailored. '£ . . I Owing to war conditions supplies of suit- X ing materials are diffcult to obtain, and we ;'• . X were very fortunate in securing these choice t patterns. The styles are suitable for young t and older men. Sizes 36 to 44. |; Special Price $25.00 1 allowance bill, a bill to provide a fli,or under farm prices and a health insurance bill, if reasonable agree- ment can be reached between the provinces. The houjing program will include aid for (building and imn roving farm homes and dwellings in villages and towns, as well as in the large centres of population. â- Tie family allowances program, federally financed, will nrovide monthly payments to parents accord- ing to the nunnber of dependent children of school age in the family. It will be of special assistance to those in the lower income groups. The measure to place a floor under farm prices is designed to keep agricultural prices from fallinp- to uniprcfitable levels and to assure farm families a proper standard of living. Health in- surance will guarantee medical and hospital services for a sinall annual contribution from those in lower in- come groups, and without charge to those who cannot pay the minimum cost. Consideration and enactment of this, the biggest legislative program ever presented to a Canadian Par- liament, mean® a long session, pro- bably extending into the fall. FARM PRODUCTION MEETS DEMAND Farm production in Canada, despite shortage of labor, has kept pace with marked increases in military and ex- export requirements, according to a report of the Combined Food Board of Britain, Canada and the United States. Food supplies in Cauda excerd the 1935-1930 level, despite overseas • demands cf war and difficulties of farm operation. Britain's diet is sufficient to maintain ..health and working efficiency, largely due to huge shipments from Canada and the United States. Flower bearers were four nephews: Messrs. Wm. Summers, Donald Bur- rell, John and William Bowles. PAINTING & PAPER HANGING Painting and Paper Hanging at reasonable rates. Years of experience. JOHN TOMLINSON R. R.
