sources canada it has been said is a country which has policies favourable to importers first because our customs tariff is low with many items on the free list secondly the rapid growth of the country is expanding our home market at pace canada never has known before the steel industry here in canada has expanded somewhat faster than has the home market so that today canadians need to import less of most kinds of steal than in earlier days on occasion steel from other countries is sold hare at prices below canadian costs this occurs whan there are prolonged or temporary surpluses else where but a pickup in demand in the exporting country reduces or -extinguishes- these external sources of supply that is why year in and year out tho canadian producer is the most reliable source

after knottier are having their council pass a bylaw to enforce early clos ing on saturday nights orange- ville is now joining the parade of early closers and since rt now seems the trend of the times the sooner it becomes uniform the bet- r ter local shoppers will then have no excuse to leave their own diss trict to shop elsewhere but will have to adjust to the change the best way they can the saturday night outing belongs to a past gen eration just like atandard tune we may regret its passing but we have to accept it i wish prices in all localities would also be uniform with food prices already so high it is irritat ing to find quite a discrepancy in the mark up from one place to an other for instance when i was visiting in dufferin county i found the brand of tea that i use five cents cheaper per half pound in orangeville and shelburne than it is in our district now why should that be i was under the impression that freight charges sometimes make a difference to the selling price of staples if that were so i would have thought the more cen tral towns would have the lower prices instead of the other way round well the weather is still making the news i just cant remember any other year when we had so much rain in haying time generally we look forward to dry weather in june and july but we didnt get it this year the gardens are certain ly growing with all the rain in fact our green beans are so busy growing they are forgetting to bloom but i suppose they will ev entually yesterday was quite a day around here thinking we were not likely to have any visitors partner and i planned a longde layed call on some friends in hes- peler we phoned first only to learn their daughter was seriously ill m stratfordhospital so that- was that we then settled down to a quiet day at home but around four oclock much to our surprise along came dee art the two boys and arts sister that ended the quietness dave saw to that we were so glad to see baby ed ward again every week makes a difference now he is smiling and cooing and watching everything that goes on after supper there were more callers descendants of the pioneer family who first settled on this farm they come in peribdically and wo are always glad to welcome them we hear so many anecdotes of what happened when mother and dad were living they jook over the rooms and the garden and reminiscences begin remember the old stove that was sitting here and thats the cupboard where mother kept her china and this is the room were we were all born and there s the old lilac bush and the poplar tree remember what a time we used to have on the swing oh but what happened to the stone steps at the front door they re not here anymore what indeed there were no stone steps when we arrived on the scene but we did find a solid stone slab about five by three feet bridging the ditch at the back of the house it could be part of the steps what happened tothe rest of the stone we dont know as anpthcr family lived here for two years be tween the original owners and our selves queer how some people like to tear down what others have built up while we were talking we happened on quite a coincidence one of the homecoming visitors lives at oshawa just one street ov er from where rny sister lives its a small world isn t if or is it that we wondered last saturday as our niece babs her husband and two children were here from chalk river it may be the last we see of them tor quite a while as he has resigned his job at the atomic plant and will presently be taking a position as chemist at one of the uranium mines at blind river when we think of them going to such an outoftheway part of ont ario it doesn t seem quite such a small world it feels as if they will ever so far away actually they won t be but i suppose we judge a place by its accessibility not distance blind river may be accessible enough in some respects but not to the aver- age person who isn t too keen on long rough rides maybe when the transcanada highway is complet ed it will be better however babs and her family are young and adventurous and seem to be quite happy about the new move al though she and the children have to wait until a house is built for them babs was born in the cold north country so i suppose she is quite acclimatized anyway we were given a cordial invitation to visit them when they are settled and that i think would be most interesting experience fancy dkbss belleville ont cp deser- onto ordered something new in the way of a fire truck a snoxtylwo- tone red and white instead of the usual solid red
