This Is I.O.D.E. Book Month Nearly a quarter of a million books were sent out to the I.O.D.E. Camps Libraries, yet a story comes in tell­ ing of how the men at the lonely outposts had read the books until practically memorized and tried to put in the dreary ‘hours afterwards by counting the words page by page. Fortunately another shipment from the I.O.D.E. arrived and the day was saved . . . but it shows how great the shortage is, and how great the need! This month the I.O.D.E. asks you for books and for money to buy books for I.O.D.E. Cafnps Libraries. Send used books you think would entertain the boys, to the nearest I.O.D.E. depot, postage free; don't buy new books, send the money in­ stead as the I.O.D.E. receive gener­ ous discounts from publishers and can make your book dollar go four or five times farther. There are only a few days left for the campaign closes on Saturday, January 22nd. Leave your books at any of the Ingersoll drug stores, the post office, the Hydro office, Beck's Store, or the Public Library. But whether with used books or money . . . don’t fail to support the I.O.D.E. Camps Library Fund.

H. Marsh, President of The Bank of Toronto, in his annual re­ port, said: “The people of Canada are pos­ sessed of the ability to think clearly when aroused to the point of being concerned about any subject. There ia then little to fear in contemplat­ ing our national future If people stop to consider what a socialistic form of Government would mean. The common sense of most Canad­ ians, including labor, who would not be immune but would also have to conform to such a system and Its regimentation, will, I am confident, remain proof against any such plans as would overturn Canada's entire system of individual freedom in growing, producing, manufacturing, marketing*, export, import, wholesale and retail trading, banking, invest­ ment and ownership. Totalitarian Government and regi­ mentation is what our sons are fight­ ing against while the advocates of socialism are trying to have that very form of Government placed in control of Canada. There are many hundreds of thou­ sands of Canadians who own their farms or homes; there are the own­ ers of 5,900,000 bank accounts and some 4,000,000 people who own life insurance policies, all of whom are in reality capitalists. Such ownership is the result of years of toil and thrift in a free country. It represents the stake that men hope to hand to their widows and children, whose safe fu­ ture is their keenest human desire. In the rural parts of Canada espec­ ially, I believe, this heritage of home and ownership and freedom and the right to pass it on will be held with determination and tenacity and will never be surrendered in favor of any socialistic, centralized stale control of property and civil rights. It is reasonable to suppose, in contemplating the future, that these millions of people will not be dormant where thefr own interests are affected, and When they realize what socialism means in the way of totalitarian power,” SMALL RUSl^ESSES MUST BE PRESERVED Mr. Marsh, in 'his report, empha­ sized the important contribution small industries (would make in the post-war period. He pointed out the importance of the smaller businesses in relation to the life of the towns and villages throughout Canada. He said: “It is generally known that post­ war planning of a constructive nature is under way on the part of governments and large scale enter­ prises, but there is some question as to whether the medium sized and smaller concerns are able to do much in this direction under the present tax structure. Many of them started with little after the last war, and in the relatively prosperous twenties built up adequate working capital, which was seriously depleted by losses in the depression of the early thirties. During the 1936-39 period, profits were comparatively small. The basing of standard profits on the average of these years has resulted in many instances in little being left to build up the cash reserves necessary to effect the change from wartime to peacetime conditions, thus making it essential that definite assurance by way of tax adjustments or other remedial measures be provided. I believe that an early announcement of govern­ mental policy in this respect would be most helpful. Clearly the job of industrial con­ version cannot effectively be under­ taken by concerns which, though possessed of well-equipped plants, ex­ perience and organization, are with­ out the working capital which is essential to forward planning and to the continuance of operations, dur­ ing any disruption of business fol­ lowing the cessation of war product­ ion. ' These smaller manufacturers and traders, scattered throughout the length and breadth of the country, furnish an important backbone of employment. A recent study of in­ dustry made under government di­ rection shows that as of the year 1941, there were 170,903 establish­ ments in the manufacturing, whole­ sale and retail fields, and that no less than 161,904 or 94 per cent of these were small businesses, employ­ ing less than 15 persons each, the total number employed by them being 529,626 persons. They aro not only important in aggregate, but are essential in the life of the towns and villages throughout Canada. 7 MOSSLEY Mr. and Mrs. Roy Guest of Moss-ley, spent Sunday visiting with theLetter’s sister and husband.
