To most people,. home improvements mean a panelled recreation room or a shiny new set of kitchen cupboards. But there‘s a way to improve the improveâ€" ments: modernize your home wiring first Upâ€"toâ€"date wiring lets you make the most of the new room you‘re building, or the old one you‘re reâ€"styling. It lets you place your lighting wherever you like, have as many electrical outlets as you choose, and use as many appliances as you need without popping fuses. 1 _ In fact, you‘ll notice pleasant changes all through your home.

On Sept. 13, 1878, a heavy rainstorm drove up from the Gulf of Mexiâ€" co causing damage to the central \United States. This storm was |the most sudden ever to hit the ‘Humber River area. | Again the Toronto "Globe" said |‘"‘The country is flooded in many places, especially in the flats, and | many bridges have been swept away by the rising of the crecks. The fine iron bridge on the Grand Trunk Railway at Black Creek, + about half a mile west of Carlton, , gave way and fell about nine o‘clock this morning. about an ‘hour after the passing of the 1 morning train. â€"â€" The bridge on the highway at The flood on April 4â€"6 was the most destructive ever occurring on the Humber River. The Albion Road bridge near Thistletown was completely destroyed, as was the Dundas Street bridge and the Wadsworth Mill bridge at Weston. Again, seven years later, on Feb. ‘16, 1857, damage throughâ€" out this area was considerable. Since there were few buildings remaining after the 1850 flood, damage centred around bridges and millâ€"dams. Next day the Toâ€" ronto ""Globe" reported: "Eviâ€" dently most of the bridges on the lower part of the watershed had been so much damaged as to make them unsafe." All the flats were swept away with exception of the mill itself. Every dam on the\.river. was ruined and the water rose as high as 20 feet at Lambton.

Ashbourne, B.A. _ Carl W. Caskey, B.A., Q.C 2077 LAWRENCE AVE. W. (Just West of Weston Rd.) Alfred H. Herman the payments they received last year and the year before that? One has to come to the conclusion, that the farmer like the laborer, feels he has been cheated. All his work proâ€" duces less wages this year than it did last year and thereâ€" fore he is prepared to move heaven and earth to obtain a higher â€" nay a fair â€" price for his produce. <« The cost of his land has gone up, as well as his supplies, capital and taxes. Under these conditions, which have nothâ€" ing to do with a retraction of the money supply, the farmer has a perfect right to protest â€" to demand justice. In Metropolitan Toronto, a solid brick house priced at $10,000 seven years ago, costs $20,000 today. And convenâ€" tional mortgages during the same period have risen from 5% and six p.c. to T‘> and 8‘4 p.c. Is it any wonder then, that there is so much labor unrest in Ontario and that wage earners seek such "exorbitant" salary increases? Interest rates; why have they risen to such heights? Bankers and money lenders are in the business of lending money for a profit. If therefore, the lender insists on a five p.c. return for use of his capital, and inflation bites into each Canadian dollar to the tune of three p.c. a year, he must charge the borrower eight p.c. 4 JOHN ST Banks until very recently, paid only 2% p.c. interest to savings account customers. With three and four p.c. inâ€" flation per year, depositors have been. losing money. This perhaps. more than any other reason, has led banks to make all sorts of plans available for customers to collect four and five p.c. on their savings. The central bankers, monetary theorists and government economists have often been accused of hiding inside of the Oftawa ivory towers instead of going on an occaâ€" sional field trip to see what is going on. _ If inflation strikes the farmer like a thief in the dark it does not make life any easier for the city dweller»either I think the complaint is valid and justified. If inflaâ€" tion, as a fiscal and monetary tool, is not out and out government corruption and a fraudulent coverâ€"up for inâ€" adequate legislation and policy, it is the very least, a Robber Baron given the legal right to steal from his sub. jects. ~ Fraser & Simms Barristers â€" Solicitors Piano Tuning Dennis ____ RO 9â€"2841 Work Guaranteed And Repairing _ Wm.
