These leans are up to a maximum of 80 per cent. of the value of the home. However; the homes. built under this scheme were almost wholly homes in- the. larger cities; the finance companies were not interested i in the smaller centres . . . places where there was a population of less that 5000 . . . therefore, in a place like Port Perry you just couldn't get such back- ing. Now the government has made it ~_ possible through an arrangement with the LBs insurance companies to extend such loans to those who wish to build in the small This is certainly a forward step and one that might perhaps have been taken a long time ago. bénefit may be lost for the present policy of the private insurance companies is -to PANE curtail their mortgage lending. .- It is ex- plained that attractive bonds are now available to them at rat®s of 4 to 5 per cent and these bonds show J higher return than mortgage money which is costing in the neighbourhood of 1 per cent. to administer.

The Liberal News Chronicle extolled our growing strength and suggested that Can- ada may one day equal or surpass the might of the United States. The Daily Express says, 'Cold is the heart that can- not be warmed by Canada's gesture in making Britain a free gift of arms equip- ment worth $150,000,000." And so it goes. However, we as Canadians would be much happier if we could find a better way ~to spend the money on Britain's behalf _ without spending on the materials of war. "It is not a free gift in this sense for.we are helping Great Britain out of a fear of what might happen to us if we didn't so help her. The sort of thing that we do when we rush to save our neighbour's house so ..that our own won't_burn down. Make no ---mistake we are glad to'help him out; we have to make some effort to have our own -.-. but we would: all be happier if we could do something for the neighbour with- out being goaded on by a threatening fire.

National Exhibition's big ten mile splash. : Kurt Milchraum, a 24-year-old new Canadan from Lomersheim, Germany, has been training in Lake Scugog for the long Lake Ohtario swim since. his arrival here two month's ago. Em- ployed at Ivan .Haugen's 'Del' Res- taurant,'Kurt thinks nothing of finish- ing off a day's work with a non-stop HE swim across the lake and back, The well-built young man is in good shape for the event and he usually tops off his evening 'training grinds by. 'chinning' himself some 15 to 20 times on the arm of one of the life- saving posts at the dock. A resident of Canada for about a year Kurt has a fair command of basic English but is very modest about his chances in the big swim. However, he claims to swim 'much better' in colder Lake Ontario which is similar to some of his favorite swimming places in his native Germany. "Timer" Charlie Bowerman, veteran Port Perry guide, who is usually on hand for Kurt's nightly Scugog swims, thinks the local boy. will make a good showing. He makes no_secret of the fact that the young fellow's time for the mile. and three-quarter swim 'across and back from the island is 6b Last year, says Kurt, the winner completed the ten miles inside the breakwater in around seven and a half hours. Kurt; "Whose best stroke, is the breast stroke, will finish off training here today and be up early to-morrow for the long swim. He'll eat a hearty breakfast and that will be all until end of the swim late Friday afternoon. Assisting him during the swim will be another new Canadian, Kuno Rein- brech. A native of Germany, he'll row the boat throughout the race and encourage and coach friend Kurt along the route. Although all Kurt's family and re- latives are still in the West zone of Germany he'll have a good number of supporters in the gallery: from Port Perry and district.
