A Si.000.000 fire in Oltawals Lower Town wiped out two small hotels. rooming houses. small busi- nesses - 10 buildings in all were destroyed - and turned about 150 persons out of their homes in sub- zeru weather.

Almost as much money loss- and as many people humcless- resulted from a blaze at Valley- ticid. south of Montreal. There. names burned uncontrolled for seven hours. levellinl Some 3'30 apartments and either destroying or badly damaging a dozen busi- ness structures.

Sixty - four thousand railway- nien - employees of the Canadian Pacific Railway - had their live- lihood temporarily suspended. CPR trains halted in every part of the country. it was Canada's first rail tieup since the big strike 0 of 1950. but this time only one oi the country's two railways was Involved

The actual strikers numbered only 3.000. members of the loco- motive firemcn's union. But other union rallwaymcn honored their picket lines. The firemen are fighting CPR's move to eliminate firemen from diesel locomotives in certain types of freight and .i;ii'd service.

To bankers and businessmen.. the greatest danger signal in thef U.S. economy credit. in its deter mination to tighten credit and thus curb inflation. the Federal Re- serve Board. eighteen months a- go. raised its re-discount rate from IV: to 1354 per cent.

To off- set the hike, banks raised their interest rates to the public. ;

The two fold purpose of tlic new. policy is (it to encourage moncyi savings which. economists say, should be at least it per ccnt of; income. instead of the present 6. per cent being stashed away; andg (2) to discourage credit. which- forces a demand for scarce goods.
