We Salute Radio Week -It ie somewiiat ai a coincidence, as well ae appropriate, that this le Nqtional Radio Week ari;d tii. at tiie came time announcement la made in-anotiier column that a book le being issued thb month concerning tii. popular weekly sbr8adcasts ai "Andy Clark. and Hie Neigiibor- Iy.

Our trip resulted in securing Andy Clark. and hie "Neighborhy News" broadcast. On Andy's deatii, neariy two years - ago, cons'derable cancern was expressed as ta wiia wouhd take over hie broadcast. Fortunately C.B.C. wae able ta secure Don Fairbairn, who iiad pincii.iit for Andy on several occasions, ta assume the. raie. It was a difficuit task, but Don has don, a remarkable job in uphelding the. traditions and maintaining a listoning aud- ience which feois the week je not complote without tuning in, reiaxing and enjaying -thie "Noiqiiborly News"' from those important parts wiiich E outeide the. big cities. With these personal remarke we sahute assisting the living, for the mioney raised throyh the. fund in used for emergency assist- anc, ta veterans and ta fainillies af veterans. Whie it is true that veterans under certain circunistances have the. advantaqe cf specifie legialation, such as war veterans' aliowancs, it shouid be remembered that when an orner- gency crops up in any famiy, speed le the es- sential requirement in providing assistance. There are many cases on record with the. Poppy Fund where the necessary assistancu ha$ been farthcoming in a matter af hours. It should bo remembered aima that there are many worthy veterans who hesitate ta appiy ta any af the organized charities. Many of them have twice gone into uniformn, and have given 'ton yeara' fram their productive liii.ta .the service ai hheir country. Through the comràdeship ai the Can- adiain Legion their needs are learned, and the assistance is iorthcoming. It shouid be remem- bored too, that whiie the Pappy Fund is a national appeal the money raised Idcaily le used locally ta assiat veterans and their families. The Legion slogan "Wear a Poppy for Re- 'membrance" is a good slogan. It is anc that deserves the support ai every citizen. Yes, It's Your Money In his penetrating and masterly address on "Curront National Probiema" at the joint meet- ing ai the Rotary-Lions Club last week Mr. John G. Parkcer, President af the Imperial Lie Assur- ance Company, stressed the. point af the ever- growing millions af dollars being iavished on the variaus farme af handouts for social weifare by governiments ai to-day. Social eecurity payments by the Federal Government last year totailed $730 millions. Tiiat's almoat exactly one-third the entire expend- iture by Ottawa and aimost 50% more than the average pre-war budget (1934-38). Judged by any standards, that le a mont subetantial aumrai money, even for a country as rich and prosperous as Canada. With pre. sent buoyant revenues the outlay in only pas- sible by taxation that would have been con- sidored iantasticaiiy iiigh as recentiy as ton years ago. If we encountered mare diii icuit timos. aind even an aptimist can hardly discount that poesibility in view ai the. uncortain world trade outiook, meeting such a bill far largely, non-productive social services niight create a grave problem indeed. But high as aur prosent bihle for family jailowances, pensions, national heaitii, veterans affaires and other services, there is steady pres- sure on the.

Befare government can spend it must firet get the money out af your pocket and mine, in the. farm af taxes A Move in Right Direction~ Canadians stand ta bonefit more than tiiey imagine on firet thought, the. formation ai the Dollar-Sterling Trade Board, which was recentiy organized on the Initiative and foresight of lames S.

The strang group assembled ta put tuis plan inta aperation for the mutuai benefit ai Canada and the United Kngdam included top notcii experts in business, induitry, labor, agriculture and consumer neede.

A largo proportion af the sterling aroa's adverse trade balance with Canada is temporarily being covered by Marshall Plan aid, but there is a widening margin which Britain can anhy pay for with sterling unconvertible by Canadian sellers inta gaode or ser;vices. Canada is thus faced with the alternative of losing the export business embraced by tuis margin or ai increasing tiie delivery ta Canada of Britishi producta in payment for Canadian exporte.

Farm Casts Stand At'a New High Statistics Show Aimost Pail the.things farmers have ta buy or pay for were high- er during recent months, sending farm casts index ta a new peak.' The Bureau of Statistics at Ot- tawa reported Saturday that the composite price index of com- modities and services, used by -the farmer-including living costs- rose from 191.1 in April ta 192.3 in August. The August figures compared with 190.1 for the same monthi a year ago. Based an thie index of 100 for the 1935-39 period, over-ail farm casts are almost double what they were ten years ago. The index for farmn costs, ex- clusive af living casts, advanced from 202.9 for April ta 204.2 in August-slightly abave the previ- aus peak af 203.7 recorded a year earlier. The bureau said the increase s ince April is largely seasonal and jwas due ta higher, farmn wage rates and increased farm living caste. Trends showed littie vari ,- ation between Eastern and West- ern Canada. Reflecting increases for food, clothing, household equiLpment and miscellaneous items right acrass Canada, the index af farm famiiy living costs rose fraîn 173.3 for April ta 174.5 in August. The latest index figure was five points above what it was in August a year ago. Fuel costs moved lower during the four ýmonths, while casts af health maintenance re- mained unchanged. Showing the usual sýasonaI trend, the index on farm wage rates rose from 379.6 ta 388.1 be- tween April and August. It re- mained below August, 1948, when it was 398.4. Indexes for farmn equipment a.nd materials declined slightly frozp 180.4 ta 180.2, compared with 176.7 a year before.
