‘offering service in Heartz Mem- orial Hall on Tuesday evening, March 27, with a large attend- once.

The worship service was con- ducted by Mrs. Earl Jewell, Miss ‘Gladys MacMillan and Miss Dor- othy Gi.-bson of the Mission Cir- cle. Mrs. K. A. Parker of the af- ternoon auxiliary was at the piano. The hymns sung were "0 Master of the Waking World,” and “The Morning Lights Break- ing.” The male eight of Trinity Church Choir sang, “Have You wandered Away from Your Fa- ther's Care,” and “The Old Rug- ged Cross.”

A film was shown, “Interview with Mrs. Thurlow,” which show- ed a Canadian woman talking with a Japanese girl who is a student at a Canadian Univer- sity.

Mrs. Stanley Thompson, presi- dent of the Mary Miller auxiliary; conducted‘ the meeting and intro- duced the guest speaker, Mr. K.

,-,

The Japanese are a proud peo- ple,’ and re-adjustment, after cen- turies of Emperor-worship, is a difficult and lengthy process. Though only slightly over one per cent of the Japanese people have, as yet, become Christian, the cost of missions there has been money well spent; for example, there is the life and influence of Kagawa. The need for expanding mission- ary work in Japan is great.

The meeting closed with Bene- diction by Rev. A. Frank Mac- Lean. The Mary Miller auxiliary then held ‘a short business ses- sion. Mrs. B-ayfield Ellis and Mrs. Allan Martin were appointed dele- gates to Presbyterial in B-edeque on May 2. The allocation from. Presbryterial was accepted. Plans were ’made to co-operate with the aftennoon auxiliary’ in giving a Mother and Dau-ghter banquet for the explorer group. The meeting closed with the Mizpah benedic- tion.

The results of this experiment show that the use of hyperphos- phate as a source of phosphorus for crops in P.E.I: will depend to a large extent upon the relative cost of the material -as compar- ed with the cost of superphos- phate." At the present time sup- erphosphate is cheaper consider- ing yield increases obtained.

New Machine To Examine Eyes

TORONTO (CP)—Tests of a new machine to help detect glaucoma, an eye disease es- timated to affect 300,000 Cana- dians, have proven almost 100 per cent successful, University of Toronto doctors said Tuesday.

The machine, devised by Dr. Morton Grant of Boston, consists of a slender rod-like device that is rested on the eyeball for four minutes. Eye pressure moves the rod up and down, recording the vibrations on a magnetic field.

Before development of the de-

vice, the disease could only be detected by tests that included having a patient drink four cups of coffee, read for an hour or sit in 1 blackened room for an hour. . Glaucoma occurs when the eye drainage sy-stem is inadequate and pressure’Ihui'lds up inside the eye. This pressure eventually damages the optic nerve and brings on progressive ‘loss of vision. -

If detected early, glaucoma can be controlled by eye drops or by surgery which builds new drain- age ducts in the eye.

Per Capita grants to munici- palities was among items discus- sed at the regular monthly meet- ing of the Montague Town Council held last night.

It was the opinion of the meet- ing that there should be some clarification of the amount that should be received from the an- nual grant by the municipalities and that amicable arrangements could be made between the Pro- vincial Government and the mu- nicipalities.

Also discussed was the re- surfacing with asphalt hard top of the main streets, including Wood Island hill, Riverside Drive, and Queens Road, all trunk roads into Montague. Again discussed was the asphalt resurfacing of the curb and gutter to the side- walk of the Main Street.

Councillors present were: John Hughes, Frank Greene, Arnold

The opening day of the trout fishing season proved very suc- cessful in Southern Kings County, with many fine catches being re- ported.

What is believed to be the largest opening day trout in the Mabon Drug Co., contest was caught by Mr. Guy Stewart of Peters Road and was caught in the vicinity of Point Pleasant. A salt water trout, it is 19 inches long and weighs 2 lbs., 2 ozs. Mr.

Without a favourable external =environ-men-t and the impetus of .foreign capital, the postwar rate of Canadian growth would cer- tainly have been less impressive, says the current Monthly Re- view of The Bank of Nova Scotia.

In the past three years, in par- ticular,_ U.S. investors have pro- vided much of the stimulus to the ex-traordinaiy wav of re - source development w ic-h has

‘ been the key feature of this per-_

iod. And foreign investors in to- tal have put up most of the funds needed to finance the big trade deficits resulting from the high rate of Canadian expansion.

Yet notwithstanding the many economic advantages flowing from such external investment, its prominent role in recent years has aroused much concern about the extent and ngture of foreign -participation in an—ada’s econo- mic growth. This concern has been focused mainly on the in- creased degree of U.S. owner- ship and control in many of the country’s major industries. POLITICAL AND SOCIAL The Review points out that the -issues involved are as much pol- itical and social as they are eco- nomic. Confining itself to the ec- onomic questions, it says that they can only be decided in the light of one’s judgment about the appropriate rate and nature of growth in the Canadian Economy. Measures could be devised which might facilitate a larger degree of Canada equity ownership in U. S.—controlled companies an d which might more effectively channel Canadian savings into’ the kinds of industries thus far dominated by U.S. companies. Steps might also be taken to give Canadian oil and mining com - panics tax treatment closer to the very favourable terms allow- ed by the U.S. Government.

It would-be possible as well to emphasize to non-resident com- panies the real advantages to be gained from a more careful con-

Canadian economy. PRICE OF CONTROL

But such actions, however use- ful, do not go to the heart of the problem. “The real issues are, first, how far Canada could go in checking or reducing the rate of U.S. investment in this coun- try without undermining the stru- cture of economic growth which has to a large extent been based on this investment, and second, how big a price the Canadian people are willing to pay in the form of slower growth to secure a greater measure of control ov- er their own development.”

In examining the role of ex-

new foreign investment since 1945 has come from the United States. And almost three quar- ters of this ( or 60 percent of the total) has taken the form of dir- ect investment in subsidiaries or other companies known or be-

Montague Council Suggests Per Capita Grants Be Clarified

Vallldcrs-Lille, Gilbert Clements and -Charles Fraser. Also present were Fire Chief Douglas Coffin and Mr. Thomas Jackson, who were welcomed by His Worship Bruce H. Yeo.

Mr. Jackson requested permis- sion to have the frontage of the Hill Side Inn reserved for cars and asked that trucks be pro- hibited. After some discussion the council granted Mr. Jackson permission to put up signs to that effect.

Mr‘. Coffin was advised that the Junior Board of Trade had been given permission to have a sign _built to be placed at Cherry Val- ley Corner and the the up to $300.00 voted for this purpose would be left to their discretion.

The matter of BB guns was brought up and it was decided to have the town policeman seize any that he saw in the streets.

Fine Catches Of Trout Are Reported From Kings County

Stewart caught nine other trout, one 14 inches and the remainder averaged ten inches. ‘ 17-year-old Everett Acorn of Alliston, also made a nice catch, landing a 17-inch rain-bow trout ’weighing 1 lb., 12 ozs. This catch lwas made in the brook below Moore's dam at Milltown. There have been several rum- ors. of big ones but last evening Mr. Johnston of Mabon Drug Co., says he, has weighed the above mentioned only.

Fdreign Capital And Changes Helped Canada To Grow

lieved to be controlled by U.S. interests. It should be noted, how ever,. that other types.of U.S. investments (in Canadian govern- ment and corporate securities, real estate and so on) have also increased significantly. And the value of British and other over- seas investments, including both direct and portfolio forms, has ,almost doubled in the postwar -period.

._The Review goes’ on t-o say that by far the biggest part of the postwar inflow of funds for US. direct investment in Can- ada, and a substantial volume of reinvested earnings as well, has been associated with the large- scale development of raw—mater- ial resources for export to the parent U.S. company or other for- eign users. Before the war, this type of investment had reached large proportions in pulp anl pa- per and in such minerals as nic- kel, copper and asbestos.

But since the war it has lit- erally mushroomed upward in the spectacular new develop - ments in oil and natural gas, iron ore, aluminum and'several other minerals.

The oil industry alone has ac-

cent of the total postwar inflow ‘of U.S. funds for direct invest- ment, and the mining and pulp and paper industries for rough- ly a further 25 percent.

NO OTHER INDUSTRY As one might expect, it is in

counted for no less than 45 per-

the Canadian economy that the clegzee of U.S. ownership and con- trol has increased most striking- ly. In the manufacturing indus- tries aside from those based spe- cifically on Canadian resources, on the other hand, it would ap- pear that the extent of U.S. in- flueilce has not changed signi- ficantly in the postwar period. And in the utility industries there has been a notable decline in U. S. participation. Two of the most striking aspects of U. S. direct investment, to which the Review gives considerable at- tention, are its concentration in a small number of large firms and its combination with techno- logical knowledge, managerial and productive skills, advertis- ing techniques ind the various new developments resulting from extensive research. In the re- source type of investment, in ad- dition, the U.S. parent compan-

vide a comparatively assured ex- port market for the Canadian pro- duction under their control.
