jssesssmimmmmmmmmsu aflfikajsiigfc tm mommtown hwtald wednesday june 18th usa automation in banking forecast by bank head automation in canadian bank ing is on its way and will ukely be achieved to a high degree in the next few years ulric roberge president of the canadian bank ers association said at the asso ciations annual meeting at mon- tebello quebec mr roberge said a tremendous increase in the use of facilities of the chartered banks in recent years found the banks hard pres sed to maintain the high stand- ards of service the speed and the accuracy that canadians ha come ito expect of tbe banking system this was despite increa sed bank staffs and installation of mechanical aids he added the answer mr roberge said v would seem to lie in the field of electronics where cheques can fce sorted and ledgers posted by automatic machines many times i faster i than those manually opera ted and as nearly errorless as a machine can be v mr roberge stressed however thijt automation will not destroy the personal touch that has feat- teed canadian hanking for so many years nor he added would it mean displacement of bank starts on the contrary it would present to both men and women in banking greater opportunity to advance by releasing them from purely clerical work for more in teresting challenging and rewar- ding tasks there will always be room in banking for brains drive and initiative mr roberge said in a review of the canadian ec onomics picture mr roberge said the present recession while severe was a temporary condit ion and in time would be regard ed as a pause on the onward and upward path that is canadas cer tain destiny i have deep and abiding faith that the longrange pros pect for canada is continued teaopanslon progress and prosrt perity he declared there is too much inherent strength in our productive machinery and too many raw materials still awaiting development to say- nothing of the innate stability and industrial skills of the canadian people to think otherwise even now he added there were some hopeful signs that the upturn would not be too long delayed one definitely encouraging sign mr roberge said was an official forecast that capital investment in 1958 would be only 3 per cent less than last year with new con struction which has a high dom estic content of labour and mat erials 12 per cent higher and the overall decline concentrated in expenditures on machinery and equipment much of which was imported another encouraging sign he continued is the buoyant retail trade which has been on an up ward trend since last fall still another is the index of industrial production which turned upward at the first of this year reversing a trend that started in february 1967 it could well be ajso that business inventories which have been in a position of net reduc tion for some time may be on the point of starting up again if so that could lead fairly quickly to a turnup in production employ ment and income discussing todays general eco nomic picture mr roberge said an unusual and paradoxical sit uation existed hitherto he re marked it was deemed almost an economic law that in periods of recession prices would drop as demand and business activity lessened and he added lo wer prices had a remedial effect inasmuch as they stimulated con sumer demand and hence produc tion and employment however today mr roberge said most prices instead of de clining keep on risinjfrso while present conditions seem to re quire s d of stimulation the economy is still threatened with inflation mr roberge noted that while the bank of canada had turned to easier money policies august with the money supply being expanded and short term interest rates dropping consider ably there had not been a result ing increase in bank loans the reason he explained is a general lack of demand for bank credit arising from the economic factors i have been discussing a sort of recession complex mr roberge sah- general loans in canada of all chartered banks on may 7 19ss totalled 153 mil lion less than at the same time a year ago one field of bank lending did show an increase he said mortgage lending under the national housing act in fact he added the chartered banks were the biggest institutional londers under the act in 1937 both in the number of loans approved and total amount in 1957 mr roberge continued tin chartered banks approved wtta loans amounting to 173- 451090 tor construction of lojooo neir dweutnt- untts and an cfcr the national hmating act mr robexas ouumad aspects of the tremendous expansion of bank ing in recent years as the banks sought to serve a continually in creasing number of customers us ing bank services at an ever-in- creasing rate in the past ten years he said the number of branches had been increased from 3355 to 4556 staffs had been increased from 41971 to 61350 with the salary bill rising from 872 million a vear to 1883 million a year or 1159 per cent the number deposit accounts in the chartered banks increased from 75 million to 11 million and the number of enlrles in all deposit accounts had practically doubled until they now exceeded 700 million a year the use of the cheque has become so widespread mr rob- eje said citing various needs for automation the banking sys tem handles 2500900 every work ing day and on the average each is handled eight times before it is cleared to the bank where the drawers account is maintained and is debited to it english junior farmer guest of alloa club good manners was the theme of the june meeting of the alloa junior farmers and junior in stitute held at the home of norm shackleton inglewood leading a panel discussion on good man ners were isobel macdonald don cleave and ray anderson who discussed how the theme applied to introductions table manners and dating the president roy thompson introduced charles bailey an ex change junior farmer from eng land who expressed his pleasure at being present and thanked everyone for the hospitality tended to him mr bailey was also a guest of the alloa junior farmers on june 7th when they held a hayrideand weiner roast at roy thompsons near terra cotta members of the caledpn and bolton clubs were al so present at that time the institute ode and lords prayer opened the girls meeting followed by the roll call which was responded to with debatable points in etiquette in a brief business session it was decided that a girls baseball team be form ed at field day and isobel mac donald led a discussion dwelling on the points of etiquette men tioned in the roll call professor

polkcmert should receive hfehei salaries the georgetown herald dear sin wages paid police according to press reports in some toronto papers there ap- pears to be a great deal of mis information or lack of it regard ing offers of increases made to police departments in canada in a recent issue it was report ed that the offer made to metro- politan toronto police of 14763 was the lowest offered in canada this year and cited figures of 527 for montreal poilco down to 15n in gait and sarnla for purposes of information the amount awarded the georgetown police was 100 with this in crease the pay for a first class constable is 3700 probationer k jit 3000 got ho increases an increase of 550 had been asked foe to raise the first class con stables pay to 4150 requested for other ranks were 3300 for third class 3675 for second and 4300 for a corporal comparisons for first class con stables show thai the figure in acton oakville burlington and milton is 3950 nelson 3960 trafalgar 3900 hamilton 4375 and toronto 4400 a basic rate of 4400 for first class constable is certainly not conducive to a man to re main on the force much less one making only 3700 it is readily understandable that until these very important jobs are paid in accordance to their value there will continue to be a large turn- rfver each year and the police ranks decimlnated across the country great emphasis has been plac ed and rightly so upon the need of paying our teaching profession adequate incomes for their efforts and for the fact we entrust the education of our youth to them but l little if any emphasis is given to the income of the police to whom we must entrust our very lives a comparison of working con ditions and responsibilities sumed by many classes of workers would show that the police cer tainly do not have the best work ing conditions yet their respon- sibilltes are greater and they are paid less than other groups a further comparison with other police forces which is not made as a criticism reveals dif ferences in operation which are worth noting for example a policeman on the toronto force does not share the responsibili ties undertaken by forces in smal ler centres he may make the arrest but the investigational as pect of the case is usually hand led by detectives or other offi cials agrees with- htrakl editorm on salaries georgetown onl june 12 1958 dear mr editor thank you very much for say ing in your editorial what was on my mind and no doubt the minds of a good many other taxpayers in connection with the give my self a raise program recently put on by the council these men asked us to elect them for the purpose of running the towtaffalrs and at the nomin ation meeting each year i hear all the timeworn cliches about i love lu serve the town i will give of my best etc now there arc some of the members who feel they should- start taking again the sole purpose of an honorar ium in my opinion is the cover ing of out of pocket expenses not a salary if- we must pay salary then we should be told by these councillors at the nomin ation meeting what amount of salary they think they are worth we will then have an opportunity to tell theflf if public service must be put on a dollar basis then let all of us who are serving as leaders of organizations such as cubs scouts etc go on strike until we are also paid a decent wage to heck with doing anything for the sake of the personal satisfaction gained from it yours very truly cec davidson 10 albert st farm news in towns like georgetown and where ontario provincial police officers do the policing the offi cer is expected not only to make the arrest but to pursue the in vestigation to a conelustan hence they are expected to movide greater measure of service to the public fringe benefits enjoyed largely by city forces are not enjoyed by police in smaller centres these comprise boots and gloves or an allowance for same yearly pen sion plans hospital plans sick leave death benefits court time paid for as well as merit pay phone allowances and statutory holidays the devastating difference in what the officers receive would indicate that some form of stan dardization is needed throughout the country and

similar chemicals have enabled individual farm op erators and urban residents alike lo control and in many cases eli minate many weeds these chem icals have also enabled municipal authorities to control roadside weeds and eliminate brush etc not a year passes however but some susceptible crops such as tomatoes grapes nursery stock gardens etc are injured by the township weed spray outfit al most without exception this dam age results because those in charge of the spray outfit are not aware that susceptible crops are i in the area adjacent to the road being sprayed certainly if such susceptible crops are being grown within 100 ft of the roadside be ing sprayed then 2 4d mcp and 2 4 5t should not be used as a matter of fact if volatile esters are being used and there is a breeze
