Commerce in a seriea currently appearIng in . The Statesmail. These. pamphlets were written to stimulate public theught at a tume whexi the ave- rage citizen As f9ced with con- tlicting political ideologies and worldwidc* economic stress. The following article is the second li the series: Canada was built by people who came here froin other coun- tries. Most of tbem arrived poor; with no jobs waiting. Many knew no English. But the vast major- ity of theni became completely absorbed in the main stream of Canadien lite. They are today's Canadians. There'u just one thing seriously wrong with Canadians; there' arer't enough of theni. No country can realize its posai- bilities wlth only threc and a haif people to every square roile. Not only are we unable to deve- lop the riches o' our land, but we must foot the bill for roada, rail- ways, government and other services big enough for twice our population. Virtually every section of our population has gene on. record in favour of selective immigration. A Canadian Senate report has recommended a vigorous. immi- gration policy. Business men realize, that national prosperity requires an expanding market. Labour bas asserted that in- creased immigration will enable us better to- develop our re- sources. And ail agree that'Can- ada should do ber share with the other nations of the world to belp refugees and displaced persons. Ah influx ot people from other lands wouid be a safeguard, for our freedom. They would make the phrase "national defence"l mean something. More impor- tant, they would bitterly oppose the subversive efforts ot those wbo want to replace- our free economy with an impersonal, omnipotent State machine, planned and run by "experts". These new Canadians, many cf them with memories of tyranny and oppression still fresh in their minds, would champion an economy that gave them freedom of opportunity limited only by their own willingness to work. "Canada's Immigration Act, as it bas been for many years past, is a non-immigration aèt. The object in vlew in most ef its sections is te keep people eut, net let thein in; and the autborityte amend the law which is given te the executive bas been' used by Order in Council te probibit al immigration, witb very restricted exceptions. Our immigration officials would indeed be happy te see the last of such a policy."1 Those words are from the re- port o! the Canadian Seiate dated Auguat 13, 1946. Can this situation be changed? Yes. If enough people realize the vital necessity of immigration, and express their views, some- thing will be done. Canada need s a vigorous,, aggircssive im- migration policy, similar te those et tbe United States and~ Austra- lia. It must.be designed te pub- licize our country al over the. world; te secure the finest type of new Canadian citizens;' and te assure thern land te live on.and work te do when they get there. Oniy with an adequate popu- lation can Canada become the nation it should be. Old Aoeant Book ma*klu dm6078. Red -Soci a Mnnac Delving amongl dusty tomes last week, TownCerk Alec Lyle tound an old account book cofl- taining records of sales and charge aceounIg kept by a local merch- ant who evidently had a wide trade ini the four townships of Darlington, Clarke, Cartwright and Manvers. The caver is se badly blurred that the name of thé merebant could net be teund. The period covered, accordlng to the pages,. extended o'ver the years 1860-63, sht rtly after th? dollar system was adopted in Up- pc:- Canada. A well thumbed in- dex donc with Spencerian script, lists the'naines of many pioneers whose descendants are still citi- zens ot the district. As a system o! bookkeeping the ledger is a primitive affair of sin- gle entry shewing debits and cre- dits quite far removed from the system today wbich bas te con- torm with income tax require- ments. One feature is the appar- ent unconcern with extending cre- dit. Easy Credit Many entries simply reter to a customer as, "dark man, works in factory;" "hired hand, Hampton" with ether names foliowed by "school teacher," "cobbier," '<pen- siener"I and se forth. A few no- tations bad "account guaranteed." Apparently anyone could get cre- dit these days and for good rea- son for ail tbe accounts but one were paid up promptly. One was sued fer $1.50. The goods carried and tbe prices charged form an interesting in- dex ot the times. One of the most frequent entries against probably 75 per cent of the customers was for the sale o! whîskey and aie. A grocery order was almost invar- iably accompanied with a bottie or keg. * And prices were rock bot- tom comparedl with today. Easy Prices Fer instance, 200 lbs. flour, $2; butter 4% lbs. at lc; 17 lbs. o! fresh pork, 4c per lb.; 2 lb. ice 5c; ane case sodas, 7c; 1 turkey 65c; 1/ doz., eggs 5c; one pt. whiskey 10c; broom 20c; 3 botties ale 15c; 1 cord wood $1.25 and se forth. A peculiar sidelight in the ac- counts were the entries against Rev. Wm. Brent. preacher. Among bis purchases were 1 case aie $1.50; 10 gals. aie 2.70; crédit one keg, $2.010. And a footnote: "Rev. Brent insists be paid for 10 gais. aie in October." R. R. Loscembe, presumably a lawyer, was cbarged with 1 doz. candies, sperin, 14c. But a prin- ter, Thos. Crawford, appeared te be the epicure ot the district. He beugbt, tobacco, 15c, 13c, 7c, on ditterent occasions. Evidently on a Saturday night- he splurged with, can lobster 30c; 2 qts. Dow's ale 20c; 6 cigars, 25c. And he paid up in full betore leaving town- an honest printer. Old Timers Many old timers scorned te buy liquor and ail entries against them were frugal purchases, mostly in quantity to get a lower price. One sucb was John Foster, farmer, ex- cellent.customer. Other naines in the book were, Levi Arnot, Sam'l Allin, Chas. Burk, Lew Gimbiett, Wm. Hancock, Hy. C. Hoar, Jno. McCleilan, Jos. Reynolds, Hy. Truil a nd L. Wilmott, ail excel- lent men. The aid book will be kept on file for anyone wbo wishes te look it aver. Theni were the carefree days! SAVE 0ELEXAVES MAKE G00» FERTILIZUE The :pungent .odor of burnlng leaves la part of the feul pageant witb the acrid aroma seemingly the very spirit o! autumn. Nev- ertheless it is a highly wastetul procedure. For as the lesaves go up in ameke, there go,- valuable sali nutrients. In the course ot nature these food elements weuld return te the sou te retain its fer- tility. But continued gatbering and destruction ot leaves robs the earth and exhausts its tertility. The dark brown crumbiy ma- terial known as humus, se essen- tial te rich soul, is formed by the action o! micro-organisms upon plant and animal residues. In its naturel state humus is manutac- tured constantiy by the elements o! decay. But a thick mass o! leaves over the lawn smothers eut the grass. To achieve the great- est benetît, theretore, they must be gathered and composted. Toronto coilects more than 8,000 truckloads o! leaves from its streets each autumn, writes Lyn Harrington in C-I-L Oval. Most of these are dumped inte ravines that slice thirough the centre part o! the city. In the spring Tor- ento gardeners. hasten te. remove thein in a hait retted condition. They prize the leaf mold even if the leat burning citizens de net. Variety in the raw materiais improves the compost, Miss Har- rington states. Ail garden stalks and lawn cuttings sbould be thrown in. Sand, fine cinders and sod improvýes the texture o! the pile. Nitrogen compounds like ammonium suiphate, and calcium cyanimide are most often used te hasten fermentation. The pliable black humus eau be dug into gar- dens just like manure, but it has the advantage of being odorless and free tram weed seeds. Many small property owners feel they cannot afford space for a compost pile. But the pile need- n't be large. It may be oniy a smail crate, for the leaves pack down into a small space as they decay. The beaves should be pi1- ed in a thick mat and thoroughly soaked with water. The chemical ingredients added in proportion te the size o! each layer. g MâL SLEEPTIGHT with SEALTITE I la your bedroomn too hot for comfortahle sleeping ?
