Compare the family sock with the modern Canada Savings Bond way of saving money. The bonds you purchase are not within immediate reach: you have to make a considered decision to cash them - not quite so easy as reach- ing for the sock. They are registered in the owner‘s name â€" either child or adult â€"- and no one can redeem except the registered owner. The question of how much to put away depends upon your own circumstances. Canada Sav- ings Bonds areavailable in convenient denominations of $50. $100, $500. $1,- 000 ad $5,000. The Bonds pay you a handsome 3““ch interest per year yet there are no risks. Canada Savings Bonds can be cashed instantly and you Time was,‘when the wise man tuck- ed away his spare cash in the family sock â€"â€" or in a shoe-box or mattress. Such customs are recalled with the fondness one reserves for memories. But like most memories, the actual facts are often. too steeped in nostalgia to be clearly recalled. The fact is the family sock judged by modern standards had several faults as a savings bank. It offered no pro- tection against theft or loss. It left the question of how much to put away en- tirely unanswered. It paid no interest. You got back only what you put in and that amount was almost always less than you hoped. We can be grateful that we Cana- dians have had'the grace and spirit to implement our natural advantages by hard work and the exercise of a consid- erable skill, ingenuity and perseverance. It is'our good fortune as Canadians to inhabit a fair and fertile land, and that is our first reason for thanksgiving. It is not so much to the credit of those Who were born here -â€" although at least they have resisted the temptation to- stray â€" but our acquired Canadians ought to be thankful that they had the idea. and the opportunity to share our blessings. Not an thé thing‘s for which today we give official thanks to Providence are of our own doing or making. .

The most important function we serve for them is byproviding the circulation which our neWSpaper gives to their printed sales messages. By this token, we feel that each advertiser has a right to know all the facts about our circulation before he is invited to tell his sales message through our advertising columns. While this newspaper condemns such practices on the part of public of- ficials, we could hardly do so without first examining. our own operation and know full well that we in every measure practice what we advocate. The barring of reporters from municipal council meetings, school board meetings, legislative hearings, public committee meetings and court trials is in a real sense an infringement on your right to know. To limit the press in its attempts to obtain accurate and factual information is to limit the freedom of information. And, during this‘week, many artic- les will be published on the freedom of access by the press to information which directly affects the general pub- lic. We have seen suppression of the news by exclusion of the press. and while we associate such censorship with bother countries it does exist here. This is National Newspaper week, a time set aside each'year during which we might discusswith you the merits. the problems and’the philosophies of our free press. ' TEE LIBERAL. Richmond mu.

We are thankful that the wisdom and patience of our statesmen are being directed day and night to the preserva- tion of peace; thankful too that our re- sources and our growing strength are solidly at the service of our own people and of humanity. But mainly on this Thanksgiving our gratitude to Providence springs from the fact that the new world war we fear and dread has not come upon the earth; that'peace, even if uneasy and with conspicuous exceptions con- tinues to prevail. The press, as the recognized med- ium for informing the people, should be given every opportunity to obtain the facts. Only after every door closed by a public official has been opened to the press shall we have complete freedom of information.

These facts are then published by the Bureau as our A. B.C. Audit Report. It is through this easy-to-read report that we make the facts of our circulation available to ad- vertisers, telling them how mudh circu- lation we have, where it goes, how it was obtained and many other facts that provide a measure of advertising value. As a member of» the Bureau, avnon- profit, co-operative association of 3,450 advertisers], ,agencies and publishers in the United States and Canada, we agree to subject all of our records to a com- plete and authentic circulation audit, by a member of the Bureau’s staff. It is fair to assume,that few adver- tisers have the time to inspect our cir- culation records. To obtain and report the facts is a task that can best be ac- 'complished by an experienced circula- tion auditor. That’s why this newspaper is a member of the Audit Bureau of Circula- tions â€" so that we might furnish adver- tisers with verified information about our circulation. Editorial Comment ALVERNA SMITH, Assodau Editor When retirement time came, the'statf of the home office gath-. ered to give him their good wish- es and presented him with a record player for “lalking book" recordings. a Sunbeam shaver and a Braille watch as daily re- minders of his many friends at Imperial Life.

It is the deliberate attempt to play a double role part which excites disgust and suspicion. When a widely-circulated British news- paper asked its non-church-going readers why they neglected the church. most answered that they doubted the sincerity of many church-goers. I do not consider that an adequate excuse. nor am I defending it. but it does bear out the truth of what Henry Drummond said: "The best evi- dence of Christianity is 1! Chris- tian."

One is reminded of the “DOWNRIGHT SINCERITY" The American orator. Wendel Philipps once said: “I believe the day is coming when the ballot box will be dropped into the era- dle of every new-born child." That is an illustration of how a great man can be guilty of in- sincerity; he could not have had any picture'in his mind or he would have known what would happen to any babe if a ballot box dropped into his cradle. 7 ."What you are sounds so loudly that I cannot hear what you say."

A. Wright of the ‘firm 9f Wright Bros. was united in marriage to Miss Teasdale. The minister wasn’t a good preacher, but one thing I do re- member. his was the largest con- gregation in town and his follow- ing the most loyal. On my last visit I inquired for him, but he had passed on. I was told that his funeral was one of the larg- est in the ancient town's history. The public schools were closed and Protestant and Roman Cath- olic children walked behind his bier to the cemetery. Not his gifts but his absolute sincerity had made him. in spite of some eccentricities, the most beloved. man in town. I often feel when reading a book, or hearing a speech, that the man is doing it with his ton- gue,_in his cheek. On the other hand I know.-with Robert Burns, that an honest man is the noblest work of God. I was brought up in a town where there was a Scottish cler- gyman of"blameless character. He wasâ€"a bachelor and terribly absent-minded. His lapses of memory provided material for all the story-tellers in town. They said that often in the pain he could be seen holding up his walking-stick, thinking it was an umbrella. A man told me he had ,once been invited to the min- ister's house .to a friendly party. but while others were fed. he faced an empty plate and the minister never noticed it. There were numerous other jokes ab- out him. all amusing but none malicious.ev.en in the pubs he was respected. That is what I mean by insin- cerity; playing a part which must have made it hard to keep their selfirespect. I do not believe there is as much hypocrisy as some say, but there is more than enough and an insincere church- man can do incalculable harm. for thelhouse and [as they drew near they heard the loud wailing of professional mourners.

Councillor Perry said, “Then you deny the people the opportunity of voting on a proposal that would give the majorin of rateâ€" erpays in the township the op- portunity to attend the nomina- tion meeting".

Also affected will be those auto commuters as far north as Thornhill 'who use Bayvlew and others 'in' North York areas of Sheppa‘i‘d'Av‘e. E., Finch Ave. E. and 'Steeles'Ave. E., as well as York Mills. ' Toronto's northern fringes are served by Bayview Ave. which is directly linked with the heart of the city by Jarvis‘St. and Mount PleaSAnt Rd. Of the two roadways which will have to take the traffic from Bay- view Ave. Yonge St. to the west is the closest -â€" one mile away. Don Mills Rd. to the east is about twg miles from Bayview Av‘e. However. the emergency re- pairs will be the responsibility of Toronto and York roads commis- sion of which Mr. Rose is chief engineer as well as being metro- politan roads Commissioner. He will keep both positions after January 1. Later the debentures were tak- en over by North York township which asked York county last year to contribute $50,000 toward their retirement. The county council voted down the‘prOposal. After January 1, Bayview Ave., which is deSlgnated one of the most important - north-south routes of the metropolitan road system, will be taken over by the metropolitan council. The steel and' concrete struc- ture was financed by local resi- dents who borrowed $240,000 to build the bridge after raising $40,000 themselves. . ' More than 15,000 autos travel the Bayview Ave. route daily. said Mr. Rose. Traffic is heaviest during the morning and evening rush hours. The commissioner said it was necessary to repair the bridge before winter. A crew will work on the 500- foot span. built in 1929. around the clock to make repairs to an expansion joint on the'bridge. Harvey Rose. metropolitan roads commissioner. could not say how long the bridge would be closed.
