PA=Z TEN Local Nissionary Sets Yacts Right Regarding Lufe of Eskimo At Regular Meeting of Kinsmen Substantiati'ng his repudiation with moving pictures filmed dur- ing his 13-year-stay as a mission- amy amang the Eskimo popula- tion, Rev. George Nicholson of St. Jahn's Anglican Church, Biack- stock, vehemcntly assertod that,' "the several myths about the far north," rputedly exploded by a speaker at the Wamen's Canadian Club, ecently. werc not myths, but rather concrote manifesta- tions of Eskimo folklore extant in the Arctic today. -Speaking at a dinner meeting of the Kinsmen Club beld in the Bal- moral Hote], Tuesday cvening, Mr. Nicholson 'corroboratod that 90 per cent of the Eskimo popula- tion live in igloos seven or eight months of the year, and then oniy wbon thW snow is not of propar igloo building texture. At other times, skîn or canvass terits are used. Eskimos living near Air- force or Meteorological Stations, decidedly influenced by whita mari, usuaily iive' in huts made from packing boxes the year round. "Anything datrimantal ta the Eskimo has corne from the white mari," said the speaker who bas "lived with evary group of Eski- mos" except those around Hud- son's Bay. Qualling another "ex- plodad rnyth," ha said Huskies are tethared. axcept on the trail, as a result of gavarrnent ordars, and while ha cornmends the R.C. M.P. for fine work among the Eskimos, ha criticizas that "in ariy seriaus crime," the blame is invariably. but falsely, put upon religioue fanaticism. "I cari sa), in authority what I arn saying," the speaker said. Among Finest People Commenting on the persoriality of the Eskimo, Mr. Nicholson said, "When you live arnong them in their naturel habitant, thay are the finest people you would want to meet." Thay learri quickly for they are "not an uniritalligeînt people." In his opinion, too many make anc short visit ta the north country duririg the summer moriths and returr thlnking tbern- salves ekin ta an authorityon the Eskimo. The speaker screeriad three 10- minute films depicting the Eski- mo in bis naturel habitant. The first picture dwait in detail on the Huskie, tha powerful sledge- dog who will pull until ha draps for his master. Ha did not maei- tion "long whips" ta keep the. dogs at bey when faedirig tirne carne eround. The movias depicted rnany inter- esting things. One showed the diffarance betwean the Nome Hitch for Huskias and the hitch used in the Eastern Arctic. Th2 Nome hitMi erablas the dogs ta traval in pairs. whilc the alter- native hitch provides cach dog with a long laad enabling him ta climb ovar humirnoeks of ice left by a turbulent sea. Snowbirds are the first "voice of spring," ec- cording ta the' speaker who told Kinsman that Eskim-o children re- ceiva "a package of gurn or a handful of candies" for an er- mine skin. Build A Better Igloo The art of building an igloo was damonstrae and for the infor- mation of the adventurous con- tcrnpleting a trip ta the wind- swapt wastaland of tha forth, a certain textura of snow (not ice) is rcquired bafore the igloo cari be buiit.

For Tom Bennett had fought a good figlit during his lifotimo, therofore could have had no regrets whon it came tirne for the final ordor. On Christmas Day 1898, he mar- ried his swootbeart, Florence. The next day he sailed, with his rogi- ment for South Africa, where, oni the burning veldt, he battled against the Boers. Not only did he risk death from onerny bullets, but typhus, dysentory and en-i teric ý'fever. To that must be added long route marches, with full pack. poor rations, vormin, slow mail delivory, and ail en- dured for the beggarly sum of a shilling a day. Tom lived throughi it ail, ta return ta his bride of a day, who stili survives him. 0f their four children, three survive. Jack iost bis life on a pond in Bowmanville 20 years ago, whila andaavoring ta save bis pet dog. The Bennett farn- ily were our neighbors for some yoars (when they lived.on. a Man- vers farm). Tom was a good neigbbor, a loving busband, an in- dulgent fathar. He was, at alI Urnes, a kindly, happy type of mari, with an infactious smile for averybody. He was a good Cari- adian citizen as well as a crodit ta the land of his birth, Erigland. Wc salute him! On Nov. 31, we were privileged ta attend a travel telk accamp- aniad by calor photos of the ini- teresting places visited durig the summer of 1951 by Roy Cornish, sehool teacher, Port Perry. The Cornish farniiy. accompanied by anothen family, hitched cabrn trailers ta their respective cars and buzzed aff on a six weeks' jaunt through the Western States and Western Canada. Because of Mn. Cornish's ability ta record the trip with a camera, using colon film, we, who stayed home, wore able ta enjoy a treat. Tho nar- rator's retentivaerneory, plus his fluency in reciting details about the takitsg of the variaus pictures kept aur intenest at boiiing point. SeveralI people in the audienco recagnized places thoy themselves had visited. Mn. Cornish's kindness was ap- preciated by the 30 people pros- cnt in the borne of Mrs. Annie Cornish, Orono. It was thought- fui of Mrs. Cornish tot suggost hem brothem-in-law showing the films, as weil as real nice having us clutter up hem living quarters, viewirig them. Butch and I were the oniy anes from Menvers. The rest were the alite of Orono, the Tamblyns, M c G e c s. Lycetts, Roiphs, etc. Our hostess, Mrs. Cornîsh, epito- mizes the word "lady." Tho au- thor mnust have meant ber whcn ho wrote "sugan and spice and ail things nice." When some hostesses offer me a sandwich they are cither so aggressive or syrupy that they scere me. But, when Mrs. Cornish passes the plate, she is so dainty and nice a feilow feels ho must take somo if oniy ta please ber. It's kind of tough becorning ac- customed ta those dinky little sa- ciety sandwiches that look like small scaeo mod'els of the husky doorsteps servcd bere on the Ridge. I've acquired a nifty tech- nique of teking twa sandwiches whan the hostess thinks I have takan aria. Here's how it works! When the plate stops in front of yau, pick up a sandwich with th;- thumb and a firiger and at the saeatime, sunreptitiously hoak another by holding it against the palmf with your little firigon. The first tirne or twa you try it you wiil likely fumbie it onto the floor, but with practice you sbould soon become quite proficierit.

Butch feels we should splurge, and buy ane of thase cheap metal autfts that we might be able ta palm aff as silver. But I cantend there's no need ta be so extrava- gant, and have suggested attend- ing a socond-hand furniture sale, whero we mîght be able ta pick uip, for a few cents, an earthen- ware pot. We wouldn't mind if it was a bit chipped as long as it sparted a lid, and the spout wasn't broken off quite as short as the one we now use. In spite of a rainy night on Dec. 5th, the hall at Enniskillen was well filled ta enjay a good variety show, the proceeds of which amounted ta $52., ta be used for parsonage repairs. I've often paîd mare money without getting haîf the fun that was en- jayed Dec. 5th. Why, the area around Enniskillen fairly oazes excellent talent. The artists were clever and willingly gave encarcs demanded by an appreciative au- dience. The outstanding personality was the chairman, Rev. R. M. Sey- mour, wha had a happy knack of putting the artists at case- with his relaxed, easy going mariner, and clever timing of wisccracks. For me, it was like gaing home ta be able ta meet s0 many of the nice folkg of that district whom I used ta peddlc bread to ton years ago. The coffee, cake and sandwiches after the show were flot bard ta take either. Thanks, Enniskiilen, for a swell evening. 'Heari Warming "Julius and Hanna Kratz, hus- band and wifo, graduatos af a German medical school, came ta Canada three years ago. Beforo that they had practised medi.cine i Palestine after leaving Hitler's Germany in 1933.... "They went, thon, ta Fart Ver- million, one of the most north- erly and most isolated commun- ties in Alberta, and began serv- ing its mixed population. Last year, Dr. Julius passed the medi- cal council examinations which give him a permanent license ta practice in Canada, and just re- cently Dr. Hanna did likewise. "But they are nat beaving Fart Vermillion for the highor focs and mare comfortable living of some larger centre ta the south. The reason is clear. Whon Dr. Hanna was in Winnipeg for ber examinatians she received a telegram of good wishes frorn 1,200 Indians, 1,000 Metis and 800 Ukrainians, Mennonites and Ang- lo-Saxons.

" Indirect methods of controiiing infiation-such as monetary and credit restrictions, together with same restrictions on capital expansion and taxation measures-t-ough iacking in gianour-are sounder in an econony neither af peace nor at war, than price and wage contrais, rationing and subsidies. " Monetary and fiscal measures can be macle stringent enough ta hait inflation abruptiy but aniy at the cast of seriaus disturbance and for this reason care- not dramatic action-should be the watchward. " Stability, not rigidity, in aur ecanamic affairs is a primary objective and its achievement is as nuch a personai as a governmental responsibility. Stanley M. Wedd, President, address- ing the Annual Meeting of The Canadian Bank of Commerce in Toronto, said In part: Events of the past yeer are gradually bringing about a change in the pattern of the Canadien econamy, and aur present over-riding concer, if it could ho expressed in a few wards, la preparedness for peace. Our present task la ta mesh a pro- paredness program with a civiien economy in such a menner that oui resources are efficiently and effectively utilized, that waste whether in business or gaverrnent, la minimized, and thet i oui free-market saciety we develop oui productive potentialities. Manufacturing On the whole, the volume of industrial production has been exceed- ing the aggregate level esteblished during 1950. Howevor, an uneven industrial record during the past yeer beers out the shift in empbasis brought about by warld politicel conditions and by the decisions of- Government in respect ta, defence expenditures. Shortages af raw ma- teriais or components, credit restric- tions imposed by the Govemnment, and the postponable nature of some demandsah ave ell influenced cansump- tion and production in some branches of manufecturing. There are at present a number of such factove and it is therefore difficuit ta, suggest a cammon underlying cause of the variations which are naw appoaring. One thing la obvions, however, and that la that a continuing review of inventory position will be necessery business policy for the months ahead. Resource Development nieasures can be made stringent enough to hait inflation abruptly but only at the cost of serious distubance and for this reason care-not dramatie action-should ho the watchword in order to preserve existing balances. The Outlook As we stand at the threshold of the new year the challenges to our adaptabiity grow apace. We are preparing, and oui preparatians must be both for peace and for defence. This, of necessity, nieans the altering of emphasis on the requirements of an agricultural-industrial economy. In s0 doing, we must ail be agreed that stability, not rigidity, in our economnic affairs is a primary objective and Its achievement is as much a personal as a governimental responsibiiity. Our defence program ia fast develop- ing side by side with an expandig domestic ecanomy. Even though the coming year undoubtedly will see additional niilitary demands on our resouices, on the record oui capacities are equal to the tasks ahead. Ob James Stewart, Vice-Presldent and General Manager, af ter reviewlng the balance sheet, highllghts of whlch are given below, said In part: During the year fiscal and monetary policies have had thair influencei shaping the course of business and commercial activity. An over-ail reduction in the Bank'& portfolio of secu.rities is in part re- flected in the increase in commercial boans. These increased loans were necessitated chiefly by rising produc- tion costs and higher-prioed inventor- ies, to the point in many instances of only caring for the saine volume of business this year as in 1950, and aIea by increased financial requirements for miitary production, or for defence projects leading up to ilfitary pro- duction. Faced with the task of preparedness for defence and recognizing the upward trend of prices that had been under wày since the Korean outbreak, the Government suggested and the char- tered banks agreed. that stops should be taken to restrict the volume of credit as one measure of a national anti-inflationary policy. In the past nine months there has been a general endeavour to confine the extension of credit to productive channels. 1 would venture to suggest that if restrictions had not been put into operation the cost-of-living index would have been higher thqn it la today. Likewise, oui dollars allocated ta defence spending would not have gone as, far in acquiring military plant and equipment. Staff It is difficuit ta avoid apparent repetition in expressing my thanks to the members of the staff for their loyal co-operation throughout the year; my sincerity is nonetheless real. The. understanding of the men and women of the staff who are in daily contact with the people of their communities has aided materiaily in achievmng the. present level of sucoessful operations. 1 know that I express this appreciation on behaîf of the shareholders as well as personally at this tinie.

The estimate for 1951 la $21,000 millions, compered with $17,800 millions in 1950 and $11,800 millions in 1945. While the rising cost of imports of essentiel materials, as well as aur domestic inflationary pressures, is reflected i the estimate, there is, nevertheless, an underlying hard came of industriel pragress which la heartening since the need for military preparedness agein faces aur eonamy.

Agriculture Canadien agriculture is producing at a very high level with a considerebly smaller working force and not much maore acreage under cultivation than in pre-war times. This la a fact ful af meaning in view of the manpower that bas hoon releaâed for industriel and defence production.

Inflation and Fiscal Palicy Since the hoginning of the Korean canflict prices have steedily spireiied upwards. Far this condition it is bard ta pin-point e specifle cause; rather a number of factors are in- voîved, for exemple over-buying of goods by business and by individuels; the unprecedented capital expansion; and plans for heavy gavemrnent spending for defence and other pur- poses. As against this wel have feiled ta offset rising costs br increased praductivity, we have exported heavily by necessity and we have been forced ta divert rew meteriais ta the defence effort. These are basic ingredients of a rising price spiral.
