SLENA WHITE On Monday, December 24th, Mrs. Selena White, (nee Milis) died in Oshawa General Hospital in her elghtieth year.

In thé' course of a presentation made to her in 1931, the Women's Institute stated in their address: «..You have always been ready to help the weak and afflicated. ... You have been unstinting of your labour and your means in niaintaining and beautifying our church. .. We shail always thirik of you as a noble example of Canadian- womanhood." Her cheerfulness and optimismi endeared her to her family, friends and neighbours. To thei eri of her life she was a zealous ho emaker and home and family ______e______ e ,M ec ei Il.

Montreal-As Canadians march inta 1952 it is important that they realize the significance of the ".peaceful revolution taking place in this country's resource and in- dustrial developmcnt," President R.

Canada's increasing raie as anc of the most attractive places in the world for the foreign invest- or brought with it new responsi- bilities wbich must be acccpted with faith, courage and imagin- ation. Recent ending of foreign ex- change contrai was citcd by Mi. Perrault as anc example of how Canada could demonstrate ta thc world the degree of confidence she had in ber own economy and money. In 1950 by freeing the dollar, Canada had provided lead- ership toward what it hoped will be an eventual achievement of free canvertibihity of currencies. 'Because Canada is becoming more widely diversified indust- riallv, she is grawing up with a stable and well balanced ecan- amy,," Mr. Perrault added. "This fact ensures that Canada will be able to serve as anc of the major arsenals of democracy. Actually, a cole such as tuis is a challenge' ta Canadians ta expand physical output sa that we may meet thc iîeeds both of defence and main- taining the Canadian standard of living.

Mr. Perrault pointed out that Canada's $5 billion three-year de- fence program bhad been creating problems-problems wbich would be acccntuated as defence pro- duction picked up. In order to raise the necessary revenues and ta reduce inflationary pressures, the federal government had sharply increased taxes, restrict- ed consumer credit, discouraged non-essential building. At the same time, material shortages and anti-inflation restrictions bad re- sulted in certain rigidities and dis- locations. "Insofar as the government shows its determination ta resist the growing pressure from some quarters for unworkable price controls, it deserves commenda- tion," he said. "Such contrais, particularly if unaccompanicd by contrai of wages and salaries, would not strike at the root causes of inflation, but would be merely an attempt ta suppress its evidences. "Sa in looking ahead ta 1952, business headaches are bound to occur. However, these problems w'ill be tackled enecgetically, and with continuance of co-operation between government and business, the productive system should be able ta take car e of defence re- quirements as well as civilian production."
