One subject which, at confer- ences in past years attended by the commissioner, was always a point of debate, and to which reference is herewith made, is Subsidy to IndIIstry". This has apparently died a natural death as no mention was ever made ofh it. Undoubtedly the economics of municipal Government cannot, contain it, and good industry has reached a state of independence rather than obligation. The Pro- vincial Trade and Industry ~De- partment never did look upon subsidization as good business, nor could any municipality right- fully afford it It was generally conceded that Canada (and this particularly concerns the highly industrialized Province of Ontario) cannot compete with foreign markets unless we can increase our pro- duction to our home market. through increased consumption of our broducts.

Born Construction Co. will do the building on the property bought by Mr. Harry Lee from Dr. John Button. The units are to be two bedroom apartments. This Hackney born Londoner is a man with a pleasant past, and likes nothing better than to discuss the “good old days" with his friends at the U-K Club he has just formed. This Saturday will see .the second social of the club. and Mr. Ledwith expects to see far more than the forty members who turned out last week. Baha'i World Faith In Richmond Hill As long as he lives, Mr. Led- with is prevented from discussing events concerning the Royal fam- ily, but he did say they were very human and when given the opportunity, spoke to their staff on an equal basis. Such oppor- tunities however, were rare. Pro- tocol was involved when work was required. If a piece of fur- niture was in need of repair, one member of the Royal family would speak to the Master of the Royal: househbld, who in turn would speak to the Superintend- ent of the Household, and finally to the Royal cabinet maker. 'Working on a forty hour week the same as everyone provided a little spare time during which Mr. Ledwith ran a dance band at Buckingham Palace servant’s so- cial each month. Among his other duties, he was responsible for the placing of pennantshn Lancers’ staffs at garden] parties at the palace. One-day, a few minutes before the guests began arriving, a hurried call from a Lancer Captain informed M12. Ledwith he had placed the pennants all right, but upside dollvn‘. On an- other occasion, two bands were playing for a garden party. One of them was from the Gold Coast in Africa, and was made up of natives who were unable to speak English. It was the prac- tice there to provide each band with a pennant and mast. When a band was playing. they ran up their pennant so the other band would not start until they were finished. On this particular day, both bands started at the same time. which saw Mr. Ledwith running franctically after the Gold Coast band leader who was black as coal and hardly able to speak the language, in an effort to explain the social custom of the pennants. After half an hour of musical mayhem, the bands were finally straightened out. “In my estimation", said Mr. Ledwith, “the furniture in Buck- ingham Palace is the finest col- lection of period furniture in the world”. Prior to starting his new job on V-J day, Mr. Ledwith was sub; jected to the most intense Scotâ€" land Yard security screening. Af- ter one week of investigation, he was so well known by palace guards that he was recognized on sight. Though he is not in the cabinet-making business now, Mr. Ledwith looks back on those five years as the greatest exper- ience of his life, and gladly pro- duces a letter written by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth when she was still a Princess, thank- ing the- palace staff for their work and countersigned by Prince Phillip. onto. ____, _, V, The other morning a local housewife was startled to see a beaver enjoying a feed of carrots in her garden.
