Romance of Ontario Mining Related by Durham Old Boy (Elsie R. Fair) The Durham County Club of Toronto held its flrst meeting of the season at the I.0.D.E. head- quarters, Friday evening, Nov. 2nd, with President A. W. Mc- Leod, presiding. Secretary E. V. Poliard, ex- plaincd the change from the reg- ular meeting night for November .and December, but commencing in January, 1946, the meetings would be on the fourth Thursday of the month. The chairman, in calling upon Capt. Don Linden, referred to his cantinued valued support in obtaining musical talent. The ar- tists were Miss Dorothy Prescott, -an accomplished accordian mus- ician; Miss Lorna Collins, solaist, and Mr. Larry Brooks, banjo qWàyem, ail of whom did valued lervice in concert work for the 'boy at Christie St. military hos- pital and elsewhere. The speaker, a native of Dur- ham County, Mm. H. C. Rickaby, -Deputy Minister of Mines, began his remamks on "The Romance of Ontario's Mining Industry" by mc- I citing several instances of his early school days, and mentioned that Rev. Fletcher Chapman (who wns in the audience) was at one time on the "faculty" of his rural Aima Mater. The use of the rod, as a guide to adolescent self-ex- pression, was more in evidence in those days. Gold found in the old Richard- son mine near Madoc in 1866 was probably the first discovery in Ontario, but proved ta be a local affair, and not until about twenty years later, when building the C. P.R. west of Sudbury in 1887 was the second impetus given, when copper was found that contaîned a foreign substance very difficuit ta separate. This was given the name of "Old Nick" but afterward proved ta be aur famous nickel ore that supplies about ninety per cent of the world's require- ments of that highly important and inceasingly useful metal. Next came the discovery of the Cobalt area, with the building of the T. & N.O. Railway, when Messrs. McKinley and Dargh while on a fishing trip, accidental- ly found what turned out ta be n INCREASED GASOLINE... INCREASED ACCIDENTS!

The number of in- a vîdual deposit accounts, bath l'ý irrent and savings, has increas- f d, mare people are being served 1 han ever before. Deposit liabili- C ies have încrensed, and in con- C ýquence so have assets, yet div- e rich silver deposit. Then follow- ed in rapid succession Porcupine, Kirkland Lake, Red Lake, Little Long Lac, and the iron deposits beneath what was a lake at Steep Rock in the west of our province. Ontario's present position, as ane of the world's chief minerai producers, is due in great mensure to the courage and real effort put forth by her prospectors and ath- crs in re-investing their wealth in further mining efforts, many of which do flot prove successful, but to those who use the same cautious intelligent courage in mining, as in other business ventures, a good return is usually given. Dr. Frank Trebilcock humar- ously thanked the speaker, re- minding hlm that he had hcld the distinction of teaching in the sarne Kirby School where many dis- tinguished persons had been as- sociated. . Mr. 0. Henderson thanked- the artists for their unique entertain- ment, and praîsed the work being done by Capt. Linden and his group for the returned men. The absence of the late distin- guished Dr. W. C. Herriman is af reminder that many of those who made this province what it is to- day are leaving a vacancy that is a real challenge to the best of our young manhood. The social hour was in charge of Group one. Mr. Fred Trull,1 treasurer, was happy ta reports good receîpts from the first au-i tumn meeting, in which he ist much interested. 0f a truth it can be said these meetings contain the elements ofc happiness-love of nature, ac-r quaintance with the wide earth,é congenial intercourse with super-j lor minds, and abiding friend-t ships.c Future Bright Says Presiden Toronto, Nov. 8- Canadians may regard the future with con- fidence "so long as they retain their perspective and the ready common sense basic in the nation- al character," Stanley M. Wedd, President of The Canadian Bank- ers' Association declared today at the annual meeting of the asso- ciation. Despite the toîl of wnr, the Can- adian people stand on the thresh- hold of pence with $6,763 millions more money than they ever had before. This has piled up since 1939-$1,13 1,000,000 representing an increase in savîngs deposits in the chartered banks; $241 ,500 ,000 in war savings certificates; $4,- 608, 100,000 in individual savings invested in Victory Bonds, and $783,000,000 of extra cash lying in men's pockets, women's purses and the tilis of business. This great volume of money, Mr. Wedd said, carnies with it de- finite risks and dangers, as well as definite advantage, but "if Can- adians will look at their savings, realize their strength, and move with confidence, their future pros- perity upon a sound and ordered basis lies in their awn hnnds." Without their national common sense, he added, Canadians could impoverish themseives in a disas- trous infiationary spiral. Mr. Wedd, Vice-President and General Manager of The Cana- dian Bank of Commerce, who is retiring aftem two years as Pesi- dent of The Canadian Bankers' Association, pledged the banks through their branches across the country "to furnish sympathetic counsel and understanding ad- vice," to ail returning men and women who seek it. Every branch manager is enger to nid in the re- habilitation of Canada's return- ing soldiers, sailors and airmen in civilian occupations and peaceful civil life. As for the banks, he said, "we shahl see ta it that none of aur permanent employees lose thraugh having given of them- selves ta their cauntry's service." As long as it is necessary ta avert inflation, some residue of wartime controls must remain in Canada, Mr. Wedd declared, "but I am sure it is the studied conclu- sion af ail thinking Canadians that the ideal national palicy wauld be one which aims ta get ail business, as well as the men and wamen af the armed forces, out of unifarm as soon as the exi- gencies arising from war will safely permit. There shauld be de- control as rapidly as order will allaw and as the danger of infla- tion recedes." Individual enterprise is the backbone of business and empioy- ment in Canada, said Mr. Wedd. Theme was talk from time ta time of state planning and manage- ment of the peacetime ecanomy, but -'such a view ignares the es- sential fact that the plans which will do mast to, shorten the per- iod of reconversian and get peo- pie back ta useful and self-sup- parting work are the plans of business men themselves." Neyer has lhere been such wide- spread planning by business men as today in Canada, Mr. Wedd continued. "As long," he added, "as the policies of gavernment la nat impinge too greatly, the mnergies, abilities and experience of thousands of Canadian business nen will be at work ta get factor- ies retooled and ta speed the pro- duction af civilian gaads. "Given a reasonable mensure of freedom, encouraged by the knowledge of same useful relief fram wartime tax exactions, the eff orts of business men themselves viii far exceed in effectiveness .ny other farces that could be exerted. No state planning bady, inevitably limited in numbers, and ham-strung by lack of spe- ialized experience which keeps awide diversity of business oper- ting in Canada, cauld passibly contribute as much." The Canadian ecanomy maves in an expanded plane taday as compamed with the pmewar per- id, Mm. Wedd declared. The na- j tion faces cantinued heavy na- anal spending arising from war, repatriation and the rehabilitation ragram. War has added bur- ens, but the assets of Canadians ave increased in proportion "and . we mave in a new magnitude of1 responsibilities we move also in ànew dimension af the where- vithnl ta met-Ptthem."1 That's Ail Wife: "Why do you keep lend- ing moncy ta that new friend of yours? " Husband: "Oh, you mean Snicklby! Well, dear, he ýshow-_ ed extreme confidence in me when the clouds were dark and thmcatening." Wife (iciiy): "Yes, yes, go on!" Husband: "He lent me an um- brella." Our problcm is nat ta gct back ta normal but to go on ta change-not ta find a better way ta da old things but a new way ta da evcmything. for Canada it Dankers Assn sidends available for shareholders -have been reduced. 1 Notwithstanding expansion of 7their assets and liabilities, hold- Sings by the banks of dominion and provincial sccurities-direct nnd guarantecd-have dccreased per- tcentage-wisc. At the end of De- -ce-ber, 1939, the banks held 21 per cent of ahl Dominion and pro- .vincial securities outstanding, dir- Sect and guarantced. At the end 30f December, 1944, holdings had 1decreased ta 20.1 per cent. This, however, did nat mean that the banks reccived 20 per cent of the amount pnid out in intercst by the Dominion and provinces. While an individual reccives three per cent interest on his Dominion gav- emnment bonds, a bank's return an its entire portfolio of govcmnment obligations averages littie mare than 1 i2 per cent, because it con- sists in the main of short-tem bonds, tmeasury billà, and Domnin- ion of Canada depasit certificates, ail with lowem yields. The 1944 revision of The Bank Act reduced the par value of bank shares from $100 ta $10 a share, in an attempt ta bring about a wider diffusion of awner- ship of the chartered banks. In the year sincc this change was made, there has been an increase of 1,442 in the number of persans holding bank shares. This, Mm. Wedd said, "is a desirable trend which we hope will continue. The greatem the extent ta which Can- adians participate in the awner- ship of their banks the more widc- lY wili Canadian banking be un- derstood and appmoved." "During the war," Mr. Wedd conciuded, "the banks of Canada have endcavoured ta do their share. The range and cff iciency of the services performed-both thase which yield revenue and thase rcndered gratis-are mat- ters in which we can take pride, especialiy takîng inta accaunt aur expanded duties, expanded pay- rails, and expanded tax bis. Bath now and thmaughout the pastwar period the banks wiil be faund keen and ready ta meet the needs and emergencies of pence as ably as they met and serveti the,,na- tian's urgent demands in war."

SHOW VOUR THANKS (Collingwood Bulletin) The ratepayers of Bowmanville in a special plebiscite have en- dorsed the municipal council's plans to erect a memorial hos- pital to cost approximately $200,- 000. They will not regret this decision as the benefits of having such a local institution are many. And speaking of hospitals we note where in Dunnville an annual event which proved a war casu- alty has been resumed. This is a fruit and vegetable shower on Thanksgiving Day for the local hospital. Like every other such institution the hospital there is operating under the utmost dif- ficulties. The appeal is made that one sealer makes littie difference to the individual donor but to the hospital operating costs sev- cmal hundred of them make a tremendous difference. It is a fine way of showing your thanks by sharing *your good fortune with others. [CORNELL & COMPANY- 68 KING ST.
