Ottawa” f ‘9 10c single copy ' Improve Inspection Of Slaughterhouses , 'The statement by M.O.H. Dr. Robert King that to the best Of his knowledge none of the tons of tainted meat reported sold in the Toronto area had reached York County is good news to our people. In his state- ment Dr. King said although there is no cause for alarm at the retail level as the county health unit maintains an inspection service there is no such similiar cOntrol over slaughtering conditions. Dr. King said that a pro- gramme along the lines of meat grad- ing .by.-marketing standards Would further protect the consumer. A meat inspection programme for the 18 slaughterhouses in the county would cost between $20 and $30 thousands annually. . A decision on a county inspection programme will have to wait until the province and Ottawa clarify their positions on the matter of improved ' inspection services. The federal gov- ernment has indicated it will shortly call a meeting of the provincial Min- isters of Health to discuss the sale “ They Don't 'A suggestion was recently made to a well-regarded industrialist whose company employs a considerable number Of local people that, when the proposed Richmond Hill Chamber of Commerce, now under formation, _ swings into action, he should take an strongest possible reasons - ~ existence of the chamber. if; people of Richmond Hill don’t know active part therein. His answer provides one of the for the “The “. me,” he said. ‘ The case is not a rare one. The . reasOn is easily understandable. Elev- en years ago the population of Rich- . mond Hill was a little over 2,100. To- . day it is crowding 17,000. In other ‘ ' words, pOpu'lation has multiplied over eight times in a decade ~â€" most of that increase coming within the last half Of that period. No wonder that people don't know each other. _ It is somewhat inevitable that because of such conditions, a certain amount of sectionalism has crept into of tainted meat. In announcing that Ontario will be represented at this conference Health Minister Dr. Dy- mond said the province is not con- cerned with the inspection of meat but only in keeping watch on prem- ises on which it is sold. He said this is done through local health depart- ments who check on cleanliness of persons and surroundings, water, sew- age disposal and other aspects. If the two senior levels of gov- ernment are not prepared to extend and step up their inspection prog‘ rammes then the municipalities may be forced to assume this additional responsibility. The recent arrests and charges laid by the R.C.M.P. should be ample warning to both Queen’s Park and Ottawa that there are serious loopholes in their present inspection system. There is nothing more important than the health of our people. Only a stepped up inspec~ tion programme will protect the great many honest reliable producers and the consumer against the few un- scrupulous operators. Know Me " the local picture. The number of cases where a man doing business in one part of the town knows nothing of the people in another part â€"- and indeed nothing of the actual charac- ter of the part of town itself â€" is considerable. There is no reason why such conditions, inescapable as they have been in the past, should continue. A strong Chamber of Commerce can do much to correct them. While such a chamber is logically concerned with business and related developments it can, at the same time, serve a useful purpose as a unifying factor for the community in the broader field. Cer- tainly it can play a major part in clearing up a regrettable situation where a man whose firm is an imq portant part in the economy of local homes, whose company con- tributes a considerable amount to- wards taxes which help to keep the whole town in operation, has to say, “The people of Richmond Hill don’t know me.” Befler Bus Service Meeting recently to discuss their attitude with regard to a proposed ' bus line which will operate from half 1 a mile west of Yonge Street on the Elgin Mills Road to Toronto, via Bathurst Street, members of munici- pal councils of Richmond Hill, Vau- ghan and Markham discussed aspects . of operation of the Yonge Street bus line, owned jointly byvthe three mun- icipalities. One suggestion which was made has more than an ordinary amount of merit. It Was to the effect that the Yongs Street busses, which ‘ now turn around at the loop on Yonge Street nearly opposite Levendale, should continue to Elgin Mills, turning there forethe return journey. The sugges- tion is not a new one. It was first advanced some twelve years ago, shortly after busses took over from the old radial ‘line cars. Though fair- ly ancient, the suggestion has lost none of its value with the passing of -time. Population at the. northern end of Richmond Hill and in the Elgin Mills area has increased considerably and shows signs of increasing much more, creating a growing pool of clients for the line and, consequently, additional revenue for it. Apart from the financial angle, the people of that district, some of whom help to pay for the deficit on the bus line, if and when one occurs, have a strong moral right to have their convenience con- sidered. At the present a resident of Oxford Street, for example, has to Walk out to Yonge Street and then walk a considerable distance south to reach the bus stop. No wonder that many, who could make use of the bus service if it were more convenient, use their own cars instead. Some years ago, of course, the objection to the extension of the bus service to Elgin Mills was based on the fact that the area was outside of the municipal limits. With those limits now at Elgin Mills, that objec- tion is no longer valid. There may be other objections. If so, they should be examined in the light of present conditions, with the welfare of the public being the prime consid- eration.

Stories of American wo- By Elizabth Kelson “NO FAITH IN THE FUTURE . . . NO POWER IN THE PRESENT” The source of the above quotation is not nearly as important as what it implies. Many lack faith in the future today. Doesn't that sum up the defeatist attitude that is spreading through our civilization? Beneath all the show and bravado there is a sense of futility and despair. You can hardly blame them. The twentieth century has done nothing to promote hope in spite of all the gains that science has made. There is a remedy however. Your Christian ministers refer you to the Holy Bible. In this “Book” you will find the reason why you should never lose hope. They tell you in this “Book” that you will find that people have always lived with fears and worries concerning the future Of their generations, but the prophets and apostles of that day, persecuted because they dared to complain of the great evils that abounded, could still sing of hope because they believed in the reality of God and believed that he would have the final say in the end. Therefore we can take courage in the hope that is generated by the Holy Bible. We must not let our morals decay, or our appearance go to seed, let our houses go to rack and ruin, bury our money in the ground or hoard our supplies from others, nor must we refuse to plant trees even though we may never live to see them grow. We must believe as the prophets of old, that God is still the God of History and still the Lord and Master of the Universe and that he is interested in the affairs of men. Like the people of old we must courageously entertain that hope of that “rhew heaven and new earth” Of which the Bible fore- t . e S a t a s a e YOUR LOCAL BANKS . . . .

This book has been published in the United States with the title: The Mar- rying Americans". The Backward Society, by Raymond Frost (St. Martin’s Press, 1961), Although the title of this book is somewhat mis- leading ln that the book really deals with the problem of eco- nomic development in a back- ward society; Frost makes a con~ vincing appeal for a serious study of this most urgent prob- lem. The volume is divided into five parts, each of which deals with a specific area of economic development in backward socie- ties; the descriptions are gra- phic, concise and penetrating. The author has an understand~ ing of and insight into many features of backward societies; and has dealt with economics without political implications and complications. My Life In Court, by Louis leer (Doubleday, 1961). This well-known New York lawyer has selected several fascinating cases from his professional ex~ perience. Included are: the Pehler-Reynolds libel case: an action concerning a plagiarized popular song; the litigation which resolved the marital di- lemmas of Billy Rose; and a dramatic uncovering of negliâ€" gence on the part of an obste- trician. Mr. Nizer as trial coun- sel in each case is in pOSSession of innumerable insights not to be found in second-hand ac~ counts of court struggles. In the course of the book we come by many original observations behaviour under stress, which make the book of value. John F. Kennedy: a sense of purpose, by Charles Lam Mark- menu and Mark Sherwin (St. Martin‘s Press, 1961). Against the background of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s and Eisenhower’s first months in office, the au- thors describe the accomplish- ments and failures of President Kennedy during a similar ad- ministration, They discuss in detail actions in both domestic and foreign fields and relations with Congress. This is a frank and thorough summary of the events of this period. The Orion Book of Volcanoes, by Haroun Tazieff (Orion Press, 1961).

He be- lieves that banking has a real story to tell you be- 1cause the bank will'be important to you all of your 1 e. Not so long ago, a bank seemed a somewhat for- midable place, shrouded in secrecy. The atmosphere suggested that only “Big Business” was welcome here, and many people with small business problems ap- proached the bank in a more or less timid manner. Today the new bank “look” presents a bright inviting front. The bank wants customers . . . and in modern branches the premises look attractive outside and are designed for efficient service and for customer con- venience inside. The Welcome mat says: Come In. We have banking services for everybody! According to Mr. Jamieson, the primary func- tions of the bank in the community are manifold. They protect savings, paying interest for their use. Lend money and extend credit. Tranfer money as in paying bills. Finance foreign trade. Buy and sell for- eign currency. Issue travellers cheques and letters of credit. Collect payments. Offer bank-by-mail and night depositories, provide safe-keeping for valuables and offer financial counsel. One of the chief causes of growing expansion of banks in Canada is that our country has more people and more wealth. Another factor is the healthy competition in the nature of the Canadian chartered banking system. In the last decade or so, most Cana- dian banks have entered the consumer loan field to varying extents and in varying ways. They have also offered some new types of accounts, such as the Christmas or vacation accounts. Exclusive to the Bank of Nova Scotia are the personal security program and the Scotia loan plans, i.e., insured savings and loan plans; personal money orders (a new form of bank money order introduced recently to speed up service to the customer) and gold certificates. All over the world, gold is bought and sold . . . but because of its weight and value there are always problems of shipping and storing. The Bank of Nova Scotia designed unique transferable gold certificates, so that the ownership of gold could change hands while the gold remains safe in the bank vaults. Local banks believe in the neighborly gesture and this varies according to the type of community, in which the bank branch is situated. A few examâ€" ples: the bank as a whole makes contributions to cul~ tural organizations such as the Canadian National Ballet, and charitable and service organizations. Some branches donate trophies and prizes to 4-H clubs, garden and sport clubs, etc. Bank managers and accountants frequently act as chairman or treasurer for fund drives -â€" on the building pf hospitals and community centres. They speak at banquets, club meetings and career con~ ferences. Some have organized Red Cross Blood Donâ€" or Clinics. Others coach children’s sports, and give swimming lessons. Tours of the branch (or general office) for school classes are frequently arranged, at~ tractive book covers for school books are supplied. Customers receive good looking calendars at Christ~ mas. In addition, banks provide services by letter, phone or advertising, e.g. banking by mail. Public relations departments of banks spend a great deal Of time answering written and telephoned questions on a variety of topics as well as banking. Monthly let- ters on a variety of topics are sent free to anyone who requests them. Most banks have literature racks stocked with helpful pamphlets on such subjects as budgeting . . . converting foreign currency . . . safe~ guarding home valuables . . . as well as explaining the purpose and use of the various bank services. Mr. Jamieson says that the Canadian banking system is a product of evolution and is still liable to change. Day to day improvements conforming to the needs and whimsies of customers and the every ten year revision of charters, keep the banks moving in tune with the development of business and culture in Canada.
