-w -~ EDITORIALS No Basis For Depression Fear There la no basis for tbe fear of a miajor depression at this ime and the cur- rent discussion about unempioyment is an Illustration of unfounded or uninformed pessimism. These views expressed by the President of tbe Toronto-Dominion Bank wiil be greeted witb entbusiasm by tbose persons who have viewed with some alarm a noticeable decrease in business coupled with a rising unempioyment picture. We feit these views, wiii be of special interest to our readers as a branch of tbe Toronto-Dominion Bank is to be opened in Bowmanville this year. The President has noted that while there are more people out of work in Canada boday than there were a year ago, tbere are also more people working today tban a year ago. The present economy could be described as moving sideways. This is considered normal. It is boa mucb to expect that the pattern of growtb would remain P-ven and tbat eacb year wili bring a new peak of prosperity. It is considered 1958 wili be a year of stabilizing rather than expansion with the capital investment programi being about the same as tbis year. Many major pro- Jects, such as the St. Lawrence Seaway and the Trans-Canada pipeline, bave stili to be completed. Residential construction has started to rise again and capital spend- ing by secondary industries may increase alongwith other subsidiary projects. Higber taxation and the tight money policy has slowqd down expansion in many cases whiie increased wages have outrun the rise in productivity. However, thé overali picture is far from bleak. The present tax structure and pattern cf social services is such as to provide both a considerable degree of buiît-in stabiliza- tion for bbe economy in general and a use- fui cushion of bdnefits in the event of a rise of unemployment. Tbe Bankis general manager feels that before tbe end of 1958, we will see a resumption of growtb such as bas char- acterized the Canadian economy in recent years and the present leveiling off in bus- iness, a healtby pause from wbich we wiii enierge refresbed and strengthened. the province. It attempts ta pick those witb some unusuai interest or association. The age of a structure is not, in ibseif, tbe final criterion, altbough it certainly bas a bearing on the choice. The composition of the inscriptions on tbe plaques necessitates a great deal of research and care. Points of detail are frequently difficult to unearth and local legend or tradition is often misleading. Conflicting descriptions of tbe same event make evaluation difficuit; quite often, too, newly discovered historicai evidence has a disconeerting habit of disproving hitherto accepted sources. Members also point out that tbe plaques are flot an end in tbemselves. Ratber, they serve as a stimulant to en- courage further research at tbe local level. The 90 words or so of an inscription can- not, give much bistorical detail, but the presence of a plaque reminds the passer- by that something of significance occurred there, and may provide the incentive to cénduct more extensive study into tbe matter. Apai from arousing inberest among Ontarioesople in the history of the province, bistorie sites properly marked are a very important attraction to tourists, and it is felt that many of the places com- inemorated during this past year wil benefit in this respect. This benefit is not confined ta specific existing structures but can embrace a wbole district once its history is known and pubiicized.

Dear Mr. James: During the r9ý* two yearu, a total of 598 pffns were re- habilitated by Ming March i Dimes dollars which,. your pa&. per was a big factor in raising. This year, the "Mothers' March" wili be held in 112 On- ta-io communities - many of which "are in your district. Last year, more than 100,000 Ontario mothers took Part: each is keenly interested in the suc- cess of the campaign in her cammunity; and wiUl be hoping you will help her. 16 You played a major part ini the success of the 1957 cam- paign. It is difficuit to express our gratitude for the effective help yau provided. Perhaps the best way is to state that without this help, many of the hundreds of handicapped per- sons that have been rehabilita. ted would stiil be waiting. The entire success of the Me- thers' March is dependent on publicity that yau can give. May we count an your support again? Yours sincerely, W. Denis Whitaker, President.

We must face up ta aur problenis and trouble spots and accept them as a chal- lenge which we will surmount through collective effort. Basic strengths remain evident in aur economy, and in these basic strengths rather than the month- to-month situation of individual businesses lies the best indica- tion ai aur future progress."
