BELL Jeweller -- Colborne PREVENT INFLATION BY USING MONEY WISELY In Italy Canadian troops march and fight with boys from Australia, Poland and England. Across the batered road to Rome they join hands with the fighting French, and Yankee boys swap yams with kids from Ontario and Quebec, while lads from farms in Kansas talk about drought to the boys from Ontario ........ as they march along together in a great fighting force. In Canada we march along together, too, a land army presenting a united front against the common enemy--inflation. For instance: If the cost of living index were to show an increase of only one per cent, it would mean nearly forty million dollars increase in Canada's living expenses ........ an increase that would be felt in every home. Canada takes first place in the world-wide fight against inflation and ballooning prices. Look at Ireland. Ireland is a country which has suffered heavily since 1939. Her prices have increased on the average about 70 per cent, and in brave fighting China the sky's the limit. In Canada living costs have gone up only about 18 per cent since the day "tostilities started, and most of this increase took place before the overall price control was established in i941. The rise since that time has only been a scant three per cent. SEED BUCKWHEAT SEED BUCKWHEAT for sale. Apply G. W. DAVIS & SON, Colborne, R.R. 4. Phone 68r21.

Past wars have always brought some degree of inflation. Goods were scarce... Prices and wages sky rocketted to unnatural heights. people stopped buying because they thought prices would go still lower merchandise dropped in value--retailers went bankrupt ^y factories closed and unemployment followed distress was general and deflation was in the saddle. That is why in this war prices are controlled--so that they will not ruin buyers in a rise or sellers in a slump. Price ceilings--wage and salary controls--rationing--Victory Bonds--increased taxation--are all part of a grand strategy to head off Inflation-- thus preventing Deflation. PREVENTION OF INFLATION IS THE BEST PROTECTION AGAINST DEFLATION DUNDONALD June 20th, 1944 Service at Eden Church has been cancelled so that everyone may attend the anniversary services at Shiloh United Church next Sunday morning and evening.

McCutcheon, administrator for services, W.P.T.B, has issued a statement pointing out that a trucker in this line of business now must have a specific permit from the Board. This order does not apply to a farmer using his own truck to transport milk or cream produced on his own farm, but it does apply to a farmer trucking milk for anyone else. The permit system is designed to con-s-erve trucking equipment, gasoline and tires by reducing or eliminating duplication wherever possible.
