let it be an im provement on the uptrend indications point to improved business conditions in 1040 needless to say the greatest improvement will come to those businesses who aggressively seek recognition with the public according to the finan cial post canadian business leaders are optimistic that the increase in payrolls activity which got under way toward the end of 1030 will be continued and exceeded in the new year evidence of this can be found in our own com munity factories arc operating at capacity and have been working extra hours for some time the relief rolls hflcct the snme cnuie for optimism ns they nre now practically at a minimum with mott who arc able having regular employment just how much of this increased activity and spending power will remain and assist in building up the community is a point that can bi determined by the business men of our own communtty there have recently been times of ndversity surely those who have cor ncd through in these times will be given first oppor tunity to 9erve in times of prosperity merchants too can help retnm this trnde by wntching stocks closely and offering a good range of goods nt the right prices and the best way to make folks feel welcome nnd tell them of these services is by adver tising in your local pnper pioneers from acton the days of the pioneers arc not yet over on january 1st the first municipal

for canada s rfttfwar loan now scheduled to make its appearance during the first quarter of 1940 is good news inasmuch as it will provide the 7iundfilc of cana3ians with iftrttp make their tirsfhirecfcontribution to canadas war effort the backbone of canadas participation in this war will be financial because of the vast amount of foodstuffs materials and military supplies that mil be required from this country true much of these materials will be paid for by the allies but some bf the british purchases in this country will have to be financed by canada and canada s own program will be extensive it seems probable that nt least 40 per cent of the nqtionnl income will be required in the next ycqr to meet the cost of wnr nnd the other expenditures of all governments in cnnnda and to finance british purchases here it may be taken for grnnted that there will be no tnx free bonds in this war that will grnvttnte to few holders and enable them to minimize their i come taxes nor
