Prover Services At Montague

The first meeting of the week of prayer services in Montague was held in the Church of Christ Mun- day evening and was conducted by the minister of the church, Rev. Kenneth Norris. The guest speaker was Rev. A.M. I-togerson. pastor of the Baptist Church. He chose for his text Hebrews I2-1. "where- fore, seeing we also are compass- ed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight. and the sin which doth so easily beset us. and let us run with patience the race that in set before us".

The scripture lesson was read by Rev. D.A. Campbell. and Rev. J. M. Fraser led in prayer. A vocal solo "The Stranger of Galilee" was beautifully rendered by Mn. Ralph Beck. Miss Peggy Beck wan organist and the hymns sung were

for automobiles.

Some concern was expressed that customeraimllhl be pledalns 100 much of their future income and that the buying pace. if continued, might result in scat-cities and in- flation. The Bank of Montreal commented: "If there is any danger for the coming year it is that the aggre- gate demand for Canadian goodl and services may be temporarily too great for the country to pro- vide and may be balanced with supply only through rising, prices."

RETAILEIVS VIEW

One leading retail executive com- mented, however:

"I am not a bit concerned about the current level of consumer credit. "it is well related to per- sonal disposable I . Stores do considerable screening of those to whom they grant credit and. on the whole. people are pretty sen- siblc. When they feel they are over-extending themselves they call a halt." i Federal monetary authorities

watched the situation closely and

took various steps to make credit

a little harder to get.

It real inflation signs should de- velop, further restraining meas- ures may be expected-per aps a return to credit controls on retail purchases if the situation seems to be getting out of hand. , One of the big questions at year- i end was whether or not automobllei sales would continue the hot pace

of 1955. Whether or not they do,

automobile manufacturers are con-

fident they will havc to make blgl expansions in their facilities to lmeet future demand.

Development of huge suburban

marketing centres across the roun- . try continued to feature the retail

picture this year as last, and down-

town stores were making hi" t'fI(Il

With -the Christmas trade 'er. retailers across the country hope- to get 1956 off in a fast pace with big January sales.
