Already, many companies are foxrm- -ulating their plans for 1956 with increased budgets forecast for advemtising as com- petition increases. Automobile dealers in Canada and United States have showed favor Canada's trade lnt that direction. The prompt meaures taken by the 1US. adjministration to stabilize the economy and prevent a run-away boom are. alto reassuring.

The Canadian capital axpenditure pro- gramn for 1955, issued early this year, call- ed for an outlay oi about $5.8 billion, or $310 million above.the 1954 figure. The recen t mid-year forecast increases the earlîer astimate by $146 million ta almost $8 billion. Most ai the increase il account- cd for by reappraisals for capital expend- iture in government departmnents and in the 'manufacturing sector-largely paper products and non-ferrous metal products. In addition, 'employmnent, industrial production, the construction industry, the national accounts, consumer crèdit, forelgn marchandise trade, balance of peyments and foxeign exchange reserves, and the agricultumal outlook, are all touched on in this issue ai the Letter.--St. Catharines Standard. for 'Advertising the way in this country ta other merchants with spectacular and continuous merchan- dising ai an aggmessive kind which hasn't bean sean previously in that field. Theme is little doubt in the mmnds ai those who know, that business increases, and profit gains will be made by those who are px-pared ta go after sales. People have requirements and sufficient money ta purchase goods if businessmen can attract them into their stores and supply good products at faim prices. But, well-planned advemtising must be uscd extensively ta build up a favorable impres- sion., When the custamer decides lto purchase, ha or shè will visit the store which bas been built up in the mind as a good place for service, reliable maerchan- dise and faim dealing. r The English philosopher, AI- fred Jules Ayer, insista that 't means nothing ta say: "That man is good ta support his mother." The tact is the man supports bis mother. Calling him "good" because of it mena- iy expresses an attitude ta- wards the action. In attampting ta distinguish between sentiment and tact, Prof. Ayer puts bis finiger on what may wall be the fault in the proceas o! censoring liter- ary wonk and moving pictures. To distinguish between what is real and what is only a view is the basic challenge which faces everyone who seeka ta form an opinion. There are a great many rea- sons for censorship, but som-e of themn are as phony as a four- doýlar bill. Throughout the his- tory of literature, certain influ- enttal factions of society - us- ually minorities-have seen fit to censor Voltaire, Balzac. Sin- clair Lewis, George Bernard Shaw anld John Steinbeck. This 1was usually on moral groundis. The Decameron, a l4th Cen- tury collection of racy tales, has been on and off the sup- pressed list according to the viewpoint of the times.

Dr. Thomas Bowdler (1754-1825) even went to the trouble of publishing an edi-k tion of Shakespeare's warks in which he omitted words and expressions which "with pro- priety, could not be read aloud in a faTnily". Surely Dr. Bowd- 1er must haire had the impulse ta rewrite his Bible, since al these bawdy plots are takena from it. things than sex, however.n "Alice in Wonderland". writtený by a clergyman. was once. ban- t ned in China because Dodgson had made animals talk in the story Hemmingway's "Fare- well*t Arms" was censored in Italy because the author was too frank, The criterion of censorship seems to be the extent to which authors tell the truth as they see It. But truth is flot ilways akin to flattery. and, tiierefore, D it is not always popular. No- body wants to protect lasci- i viaus books-filth for its ow rn cake-but I think it wilI be dit- o ficult ta deny for any length of!c time the priciple that it ig bet- si 'ter to tolerate some trashy lit- at eraure than ta curb the imag- C, inations of ail sincere writers.

Farmers will be interested irn a story in this week's issue telling of farming in England. Apparently, farm help there is, highly unionized with the result that after five o'clock at night, the employées receive time-and-a-half >with double time for Sunday and holiday work. We wonder. how long it will Ibe until Canadian f arms are operated in the same manner. Unless the fa-m help situation improves, certainly something will have ta be done to relieve the situation. A worthwhile project for any local service club looking for loing-term, bene- ficial, but expensi*ve activity might be a community swimming pool something similar to the one et either Lindsay or Port Hope. Our Pee Wee bail club had occasion ta use the Lindsay pool on Satur- day between games and found it a won- derful place to relax. 0f course, Lindsay doesn't have a warm Lake Ontario at ifs doorstep such a s we have, but we don't have it warm very ôften either. Now, housewives can obtaiin storage eggs 15 ta 20 cents a dozen cheaper than the newly laid kind. The Poultry Products' Institute of Canada said last 'weèk thàt processed eggs were candled and coated with an ail preservative early in the spring and sold in some stores at low cost now. Some of the older rçsidents will recali fishing into that gooey old crock in the cellar for eggs which had been preserved inwater-glass. Apparently, the modern method is to pack them in off. We haven't heard of them being sold in Bowmanville, but at least one store in Peterborough is doing quite a business with them. With ail1 the newspaper, radio and TV contests nowadays where à housewife to win a prize has ta answer somnething jike "Dominion Stores, Nu-Milk" instead' af "hello", it's most confusing. Even when you have cortacted your party and she h»a upset you by answering with the name of some product, you will probably be told ta get off the line until after a certain pro- gramn is over, because the station mîight be trying ta get through ta her.
