Our lines and methods of production, our wage scales and standards of living and our natural advantages are more similar to those south of the border than of any other country. And like the United States, Canada came out of this war With capacity and plants undamaged, with many new processes that could be put to good use in developing additional markets. '.' By this time Canada should have been building up a record export trade. On the contrary we have been Siv crippled by strikes in key industries that we have been utterly linkable to keep our own domestic wants supplied, let alone those of any new customers. We have close to 50,000 people out on strike and several times that number idle or working only part time as a result of strike-caused shortages in key products. . Compared to the United States our strike situation is far more serious. Tie-ups in our key industries have lasted longer. In comparison to total industrial populations, time lost has been greater. And because we are far more dependent on export trade than our neighbor, our losses in postwar markets, actual arid potential, have been very much heavier. It is probably only a coincidence that almost all Canadian labor unions are only branches of parent organizations in the United States and in some cases strikes have been called or prolonged here on direct orders from U. S. headquarters. Nevertheless if some American group had deliberately sought to put Canadian competitors out of the export field they could hardly have devised a better plan. Every Canadian member of an international labor union Should remember that each day his plant is closed is aday gained by a producing American plant in the race for postwar markets. CANADA SAVINCS BONDS DRESSING FOR TOWN Pray the spider weave you . a gossamer gown and spangle it with dew when you visit town. Wear lady slippers upon your magic feet; a . sprig pf honeysuckle as y6ur perfume sweet. Upon each hand a foxglove and in your heart a song. The town isn't far away, the trip not very long. There the swains will greet you with a Jolly lay; and fan you with a light green fern to keep the sun away. RUBY ZAGOREN OUR AUTUMN BEAUTY Wherever one may travel east of Prince Rupert at this time of the year the beauty of the autumn foliage captures the eye and kindles those latent artistic instincts that deeply lay in human hearts. On every hillside borders of gold shine from the tips of the leaves and splashes of bright yellow are entwined with the sombre dark green shades of the humble poplars. Here and there an impertinent tree thrusts out Its scarlet leaves that have kissed the frost too ravishingly at night and. In gorgeous hues, looks like a beautiful lady richly garbed In sensual colors to display her loveliness and perhaps entice again the tingling touch and champagne breath of that old flirt Jack Frost. Boulevards and man-made parks may be absent here. But old Mother Nature takes primeval forests, her lowliest trees and paints them with a heavenly brush into a picture of beauty beyond compare. 3 y AS OTHERS SEE IT MORALS HOLDING UP This paper does not believe our morals have reached a depressing state in this new age, nor do we believe shorts and slacks Indecent as Is maintained by some writers.
