During the 75 years siince the store was rebuilt, there bave been 18 businessmen carrying on il varied businesses, such as: gen- eral store, tailerlng, shoemaking, barnessniaking, barberng, electric store, tinsmithing, Post Office restaurant, 'veterinary office, and most recent, the 5c te $1 store. The businessmen were: E. B. Nash and Ce,, Robert McCullagh; Cooper and Souch; J. Robert Cooper; Nelson F. Hall; Edward 'R. Woodyard; Richiard Logan; 16 Rowland Hall, Clarence Duncan, F. O.

One event stands eut lu the writer's mmnd, the time Dr. Sher- win decorated bis front window with deodorized baby skunks. This large store was once dlv- ided into three smaiier stores. The Post Office s]ot is stili visible on the south part. Changes took place during Mr. Froste's business years, 1935-1964 in the 5e to $1 store. Groceries occupied the rear portion of the store for several years. It was in 1964 that the store expanded to take in the whole arca as many of us remem- ber it. The complete dispersai sale of liood of $1 billion a year on'oar non merchandise account in the past two years, we should be pun- ishied. They forget so quickly, or probably more accurately, they prefer flot to remember about the favourable balance of the United States.over the prior 20 years. the Corner Store of Orono 5c to $1 store took place on October 9, 1971. Two members of the Clarke Museum were given permission to lookaround in the cellar for any items which might prove useful to the museum. Few interesting items were to be found but writ- ing ion the bottom of three old drawers addcd a bit iof humor to our search. These notes, made ln pencil by J. R. Cooper and cm- ployees, dated from 1919 to 1934. We quote three of them: Jan., 21, 1924 "Cold as hell. 14 below." Jan. 12, 1932- "Stock takiing or trying to. Biggest job on hand is keeping Harold awake, hie is eith- er got sleeping sickness or love sickness. Dr. says its the latter. Don't hold out any, hope of re- covery. Move hlm to Oshawa." 1K. McKay. Jan. 11, 1934 9 p.m. "Jack just spît in the fire and put it out. So 1 guess fe will go home now," J. R. Cooper. Kate McKay and Gillis McKay were sister and brother-in-law of J. R.' Cooper. Mr. McKay opened out a grecery business in, Coîborne in 1928, but Kate remained until the Cooper business ceased te, op- erate. She then was employed ln the Armstrong store for years.' Other employees of Mr. Cooper inciuded Isaac Winter and Harold Allen. The face cf the business section is changing fast. Sooni there will be only one store on the east side which bas any resemblance to the original front of years ago. That store is the Reid Hardware. (Mrs. E.) Helen Schimid Ottrawa Report Russell, C.

Northumberland - Durham The present concern in Canada about the 10% surcharge impos- ed by President Nixon against im- ports into the United States should be viewed against the bal- ance cf trade picture over the post-war period. Some American spekesmen, Particularly, Treasury Secretary Connolly, try to leave the impres- sien that'Canada has had a long standing trade surplus with the United States, and that somehow, we deserve to bc punished for taking advantage of, our pour neighbour in its difficulties, The facts are just the opDosite. Canada has had-a balance of trade surplus with th e United States in 1970 and 19171 enly. From 1951 te 19710, wehad a total balance ef trade deficits wîth the United States of $14 billion on our mer- chandise account. That is, we bought that much more, merchan- dise in the 20, year period from the United' States 'than they bought from us. lu that perïod we aise had deficits ln the neighbour- ' 1 cnt wait a Week for a welding job.
