There was no improvement in 1955. In 1956 an increase of less that 1% Figures available point to. a further drop of 1% 9% for 1957." Mal "Mounting unemployment' figures bear out Farm Union prediction that we cannot maintain a booming econ- omy unless agriculture is allowed to participate and if our present system of encouraging factory type farms and vertical integration is continued, then our country towns will become Ghost Towns', continued Mr. Hill, The O.F.U, President went on to say that the Fearmer's Union has con- tinued to press for: i 1. Farmer representation to the Price Support Board. 2. Producer - controlled marketing boards. wt! 3. A Two Price System. . 4, Price supports at parity level paid direct to the producer by defi- ciency payments, Through our Interprovincial Farm Union Council we have maintdined a lobby in Ottawa on behalf of farmers since last October, said President Hill, "with the result that when legislation to provide farm price supports was in- troduced to the House of Commons many Government M.P.'s immediately agreed that in order to be effective price supports must be based on pro: duction costs, rather than a previous average selling price". After meeting with the Minister of Agriculture, each of the four political parties and the Prime Minister, the speaker predicted the new Price Sup- port Legislation would be more ac- ceptable to farmers, -- A good crowd was in attendance and an enthusiastic discussion.period was ** held. Most Widely Used Money in the World In the Sahara Desert, or along the Rhine, the world's "Number One Money" is the travelers cheque. lanket was his, A similar experience occurred to two Americans in Hong Kong who had been robbed of everything but their travelers cheques. Desper- ately in need of food, they hesi- tantly offered a $20 cheque to an ancient Chinese merchant, "Oh, yes, Number One Money," he ex- claimed with a grin and business got underway. The travelers chéque was creat- ed because ~ oddly enough -- the .then president of American Ex- press; J. C. Fargo, had difficulty cashing his letters-of-credit while on a trip to Europe in 1890,¢ "If the president of American Express has this difficulty," he reasoned, "just think what, ordi- nary travelers face. Something has got to be done about it." What was done about it has resulted in the biggest private money business in the world today, An inventive employee of the corg- pany devised the double-sigiature "cheque that is still in use today. The user gigns it when he obtains it at his local Bank, Then when he is ready to spend it, he signs it again in the presence of the person accepting .it. A simple idea -- but virtually foolproof, It's so fool- proof that the original pYomise made by American Express in 1891 holds good today--any cheque lost or stolen before the second signature is written will be made ~ An American traveler in the Sahara once offered a $20 gold piece for / a woven camel blanket, but was turned down suspiciously by a ¢autious Arab sheik.
