Trying Out the New Depository Bowmanville's Public Utilities Commission Manager George Van Bridger was the first ta tiýy out the new Canadian Bank of Commerce depository recently installed here. By means of a special key, customers will now be able ta make nigbt deposits in this rather elaborate outside chute.

AUTO ]IMPORTS HIGHER THAN EXPORTS, From the Milwaukee Journal1 For how long can America's big car manufacturers ignore the success of the small car, both foreign and domestic? Consider the evidence:' While most auto production lines were closed down over the holidays for "inventory ad- justment", American Motors kept its Milwaukee and Ken- osha plants humming ta fill or- ders for the "compact" Ram- bier. Due soon is a new version o! the stili smaller Rambler that was sa popular a few sea- sons back. At the Chicago auto show, foreign make autos now out- number domestic makes for the f irst time in the show's 50 year history. Volkswagen o! Germany and Renault o! France have char- tered ships ta make sure o! speedy delivery. Fiat of Italy has bought its own ships. Re- nault says chartering saves 155o ln transportation casts, thus en- hancing the price advantage o! its cars. When 1957 figures are total- led, foreign car sales are ex- pected ta have exceeded 200,- 000 in 1957-more than double the 98,187 sold in 1956. United States. car imports in 1957 for the first time exceeded export. To be sure, 200,000 is a smali figure set alongside the more than 6,000,000 assemblies turn- ed out by Amenican manufac- turers in 1957. But the outlook is not so encouraging for 1958. For a growing minority of American car buyers, extra power, extra length and extra flashiness seem ta have lost their appeal-particulariy with price tags up as much as $150 ta $200 over 1957. gageRA LilSERVE T.380 ML Completes 15 Years in Business Readers will note that May lst appears on the calendar behind Stuart e. - James.

A total o! $46.75 was collected and, handed in from Brown's section. Sorry ta hear o! the unfor- tunate accident to Master Lloyd Avery, formeriy o! Brown's.

Ontario Liquor Sales Policy (Owen Sound Sun-Times) The full force of the beer and lquor industries' salés promo- tion paiicy appears ta have be- came evident in recent montbs. There can be little doubt but that it is their desire ta have the Province wide-open ta al types o! sales outiets and as numevaus as possible. As an instance, recentiy St, Catherines gave the go ahead signal on cocktail lounges. Pre- viausly Kitchener voted on the issue, now Waterloo is facing a vote. These votes are but a few o! the many which the h-. quor people have piled up with- in vecent months, ail o! themn bearing the signs o! weli or- ganized and highly financed campaigns. It is well ta note that the stress is being put on the cock- tail bar outiets at a time when authonitative persans, v;ha have made a study o! the vastly in- creased incidence o! alcoholism in Canada and the many evils which attend the industrv, are voicing grave concern at thel trend. Sa serlous bas bécome the situation that some who have fought it down through the years have suggested that it be allowed ta have full reign sa that it would the more rapidly become so bad that aroused public opinion would demand curative action. O! course the price o! such a policy would be terrible and few take such a suggestion seriously. It 15 the more serious in view o! ecanomic uncertainties which have entered. the overali pic- tary effort. I E ture in recent months. The pattern, as becoming mare and more definitely app- arent, bas been first the bey' erage roms and now, finally, the bcer warehouse and liquor store, then bar, with, no doubt, gracery store sale the ultimate.
