HER rEw ENGINE bas given the "Suzy M." a new lease on life. Now she gets eut to the fishingIrounds in double-quick time, and the hours saved mean her daily catch is just that much bigger. ý A bank loan made ail the difference. And the extra money Suzy's owner is making wil soon pay off the cest of the englue. Local bank managers along Canada's coasts are eager te help their neiglibours catch fish, by making bank credit available for the purchase of engines, nets and other gear. Net- only do they take care of funds left in their charge but they aise supply credit te local businessmen, sawmil operators, farmers, peo- ple in every walk of life. ISPONSORED &Y VOUjtS ANIC J. R.

Almost any day now thy niay wake the echoes of Parlianient Hil contro- versy. Or they may remain stili until the House of Commons meets again. In either case one thing is certain: When finally they do resound they will be bis- toric. For the realization-and the ac- companying shock - now bas spread over the Capital here t#xat, contrary to the popular bellef which Canadians in ail walks of 111e cherished, the role which the Liberal Government has been playing in the mounting troubles of the harrassed British peoples hisn't been exactly a pretty one. It has become shamefully clear during the past week that the Lib- eral Goverrnment's past version to Parliament and the people of its so-called '«aid" to Britain was on- ly haif the story. The govern- ment made much o! the wheat, cheese, eggs, bacon, and other foodatuffs that it sent overseas to keep the British larder from go- ing bare. It publicized flambuoy- antly its credit of one and one- quarter billion dollars to help Britain regain her feet as a trad- ing nation. But the Liberal Government carefully concealed the fact that it was adding heavily to the drain- age of United States dollars that was bringing the United Kingdom to its economic knees. It made no mention o! the stipulation that every dollar which Britain spent in Canada from ber Canadian loan had to be accompanied by another dollar taken by Britain from bher United States loan. Yet it is now apparent that these main conditions attached by the Liberal Government to Ca- nada's program of so-called "aid" to Britain. That they have added substantially to the weight o! cur- rent British difficulties is no less clear. During the first six months of the current year, for example, Canadian exports to Britain were in excess of $300,00,000. Under the undisclosed termns governing the shipments, payment for these goods couldn't be made out o! the cred.it o! one and one-quarter bul- Red Cross Society Emrgency Supplies To Tomnado Victime A truck loaded with cmergency supplies for the victims of the tor- nado, left Ontario Division Red Cross warehouse Wednes cl a y, Sept. 3rd for Coe Hill. En route, the truck stopped at Belleville Branch of Red Cross to take on a quantity of shoes purchased loc- afly. Ernest Harston, Field Secretary o! Ontario Division ]eft early on Tuesclay to inspect the area de- vastated by the tornado and is making !irst hand reports to Div- isional headquarters to enable Red Cross to despatch immediately the necessary supplies. Ontario Division staff members were at the Red Cross Reception Centre in Toronto on Sunday, en- gaged in the task o! wclcoming the passengers on the Sunday flight of Scottish immigrants when word was received from a Toronto newspaper that a twister had levelled homes in the Ban- croft area. The ):usiness of greeting and serving refreshments to the new Canadians continued uninterrupt- ed as plans were made to fly clothing and blankets to the de- vastated area in a seabee provid- ed by the Toronto Star. Hard pressed nurses at the littie Red Cross Outpost Hospital at Bancroft cared for nine persons injured by the tornado. Death Claim Payments By Ons. Companies Over Flfteen Millions Death dlaim payments by lfe insurance companies operating In Canada to beneficiaries in the Province of Ontario during the first six months of the current year were $15',284,439, according to the figures compiled and re- leased today by the Canadian Life Insurance Officers Association. For ail o! Canada during the first six months o! 1947, death dlaim payments reached the total o! $34.678,940 the association an- nounces. Ontario's death dlaim payments were made up o! $11,204,253 und- er 4,948 ordinary 111e policies, $2,- 483,575 under 1943 group policies and $1,596,611 under 6551 indus- trial policies. minion were paid out on 11,791 ordinary lufe policies to the extent of $26,345,827 on 15,903 industrial lm may ib eu. lhnuiatr fisd»ni*»,te ti aMi us DoUa Kidnsy Pila.

Only eue-halt o! the payment could be se made. The balance had to be in United States dollars taken by tUited Klngdom and turned aven to Can- ada froin its Amenican boan. Under normal conditions a stip- ulation that eveny dollar spent in Canada !rom a Canadian loan m3ast be enriched by the addition o! a United States dollar might have been defended as a shrewd arangement. It opened up a source o! United States dollars o! whicb Canada always stands in need, It alse meant that Bnitain, since she could on-ly use ber Canadian cned- it to the extent o! 50 per cent o! ber Canadian payments, must spend double ber Canadian credit in this country in order to use it ail. Obviously, stipulation such as these could be the hall-mark o! a smnart deal in normal turnes. But the times were flot normal for Britain when she entered inte ber food contracts and credit arrange- ments witb Canada's Liberal Gov- erninent. And smart dealing was not supposed to be the aim o! the Canadian negotiations. At least, that was the popular under- standing of thc situation. And it was Parliamcnt's understandlng as well. It is unlikely that Uic secret Shylock robe whicb the Liberal Governinent adopted ail unknown to Parliament or to the Canadian People wilI become a subi ect for public political controversy until Britain bas succeeded in negotiat- ing some settiement o! ber di!- ficulties. That may postpone pub- lic controversy over thc role the government here bas played. Any discussion now migbt befog any arrangement which Britain is seeking to make and add to, Uic d-ifficubties o! negotiating it. ButthUictapie is stili on ice and il will become a lively issue not later than Uic lime o! Parliament's next session. The basis on which Canada bas been doing business with thc British people in thein dire emergency is regarded widely in the Capital as one which would baye brougbt the biusb o! shame to the mast unregenerate, Yankee Trader o! an era that is passed. And it is necognized as marking also a new low in Canada's record of Britisb partnenship. palicies to Uic extent o! $3,660,- 094 and 3,510 gnoup policies le the amount o! $4,673,019.

Uie big producens in the Province o! Ontario o! tobacco. Men o! ainiost every wa]k o! life are entering the domestic to- bacco growing field, many entire- ly unaware o! the gamble and knowledge required, ignorant o! thc techniques and Uic bazards and obstacles whicb lic in Uic patb e! a successful crop and profit. Tobacco farina have aprung up at one lime or another in almost, every county in Uic province but only approxixnately 15 counties have suitable soil, Drham Coun- ty being one o! these. In Durham County, with its sandy hilis, where it was Uiougbl at onc time that only bumper pa- tate crops could be harvested, now it, turns out that buanper tobacco crops can also be raised. Firat at Osaca Tebacco was lirsI grown ln Ibis eastern county near its south- eastern corner, at Osaca, north o! Port Hope. Today tobacco fields arc te be found in five o! Dur- ham's six townships. Durham Tobacco Plantations Ltd. was !irst !ommed here in 1940 by Herman Smith, who bail previ- ously grown fluc-cured lea! in soutbwcstern Ontario nean Delhii. The !inst yean Mr. Smith had on- ly 32 acres on which to work. The following year he grew 125 acres o! tobacco on four farina and bad a total o! 38 kilns. Mr. Smith's Company today owns seven farina and a total holding o! 2,500 acres ini south- castcrn Ontario. Last year Durhamn Plantations Ltd. shipped 400,000 pounds of tongue, that is 195 kilns, tram whicb a good many" cigarettes can be manufactuned. Mr. Smith employa almost coin- pietely local help. Only outsid- ers are seven curera brougbt ta Osaca from North Canolina eacb year. Realizing the petentialities o! Durham soil, southwestern Ontar- io growers arc meving east in large numbens, Farina have been set up in Cartwright, Clark, Hope, Darlington and Manvers townships with succcss. Eacb year the farins anc expanded andi langer cnops planted. Altbougb il is saîd that tobacco growing in Durhamn will neyer reacb the proportions o! Norfolk or Kent Counties, it is agreed by ail authonities, particularly the growers theinselves that weather pcrmitting, thene will always be a profit in Ibis county. Newcomers Typical o! thc influx o! grow- ers from tbc Delhi district is Uic VanDam family, o! Waliaceburg and Wingham Centre, wbo came te the Pontypool-Buketon. area sevenal years ago when lbcy found the soil to thein liking. The Van]Dam first established themselves on a smal1 tarin near Burketon and a!ter a successful first ycar czop spllt Up to buy and operate farros o! thear own.

Their father docs the curing himselt. Growers of Duquesne cigarette leaf, the Burketon VanDam s sSp- ped 28 tons alone last year. This year wlth a larger area planted, Jake and Cornelius expect a niuch langer crop and a better one at that. Another member o! the Van, Dam !amily te, set up a tobacco !arm in Cartwright township la John Hooyer, a brother-in-law from Otterville, who operates a farin north of Nestleton. Hooyer planted 45 acres this year, owns six kilne and two greenhouses. The Burketon plantation Is o! sim- Ilan size. 1New FUrin There are many tobacco farma in close pnoximity to Orono.
