It. was said to be necessary to curb: an inflationary tend. “” Curbing’ of inflation may mean many different things to many different people. To the average Ca- niadian—the worker, small. business man, the con- sumer~—it means that he gets more for his dollar. | ” This week it is announced from Ottawa that the consumer index. is at an all-time high. For seven con- secutive months up to October 1 there has been an inerease in Canadian living cost. Therefore, by the measuring stick of the average man, trying to. make both ends meet, the tight money policy as a curb upon inflation can fairly be pronounced a: complete failure. : Evidently the only defense offered is in state-_ ments that without the. credit. restrictions things might have been worse. Such: statements cannot out- weigh. the practieal facts.. Mr. MeTaggert’s articles in The Telegram. on this subject have shown that great damage has been: done in large areas of the country, especially: to. small business men but as well to business generally, and that unemployment, has increased sharply. ‘Business in the United States is awaiting a “cru- cial decision” by the Federal. Reserve Board. report- édly weighing all the elements of the national econo- my with. a view to determining if the time has come to “ease up on the brakes.” In that cduntry also, the eost of living has failed to respond as expected. :, Jn Canada, the credit curb has been a failure on all counts: With winter coming on and increased un- employment. feared, the new Government should treat this matter as one of first and’ foremost impor- tance, and deal with it at the present session of Par- liament. —Toronto Telegram? ‘ What's a Good Souvenir? - CANADIANS ¢ generally will welcome the blast di ~ rected at “junk souvenirs”. at ‘the Canadian Tourist Association convention. The: totem. pole: stamped “made in Japan” has tleen a- standing joke for years, and: not a very funny one at that. The sort of stuff commonly : offered as souvenirs is poor advertising for our country. ‘ * On the other hand, it’s possible to go too far in the direction of pushing arts and crafts as souvenir material. Some visitors do want to sample—and pay good prices for — the handicrafts and arts of the country, and it’s encouraging’-to observe that some tourists now have a sporting chance of finding what they want. - But other tourists simply want to buy something they can’t get at home. It doesn’t have to be hand- ynade; it need only be Canadian, A woman who re- turns to the U.S. with an. attractive Canadian-made suit. or dress has a souvenir: that is for her just as ‘#ffective as a hand-made ashtray, and may attract thore attention. from her friends. a The problem of providing good souvenir material ign’ t separ able from. the general concern of all busi- hens: the provision of attractive, competitively priced | eonsumer goods, well-displayed and easily accessible. wf it’s on the retailer’s shelves. the tourist, like the natives, will see it, buy it, and remember the trans- action with pleasure, .

Navy band was. disbanded. However, I “do. not. wish _ to: any other arguments regarding this. decision, and I “will only deal with the latk of interest be- ing the cause of the costly in- struments being shipped away. Did you ever ask your source! of information the percentage turnout ef the band, compared’ to the rest of the naval reserve nere? I was a member of the band and as far as I can recall the band invariably had better turnout on drill night. On spe- cial pdrades our turnout was the Naval Reserve, yet there has | been no’ mention of shipping the remainder of .. the, equipment lack of interest in the division. -|How good are their ‘turnouts to- day? Have they’ improved since the discharge of the band per- sonnel? The answer is obvious down’ to HMCS Chatham any, Monday night. I do not propose to take up any more space advancing fur- ther arguments on this-point and will drop the matter with this; thought., . We need a brass bahd in Prince Rupert and I for one, am willing to spend a considerable wmnount of time towards organ- izing a new adult band, provid- ing the necessary financial and moral support. can be found.
