Ferguson of Rock Is- land, Qua. president of the Can- sdian Manufscturers' Association. said yesterday. In a speech prepared for deu- very to the Montreal Rotary Club. he declared: l "The plain truth is that our Olnt is growing so steadily and has such reserves of strength that it will take a major catas- trophe to stop us in our tricks or even blunt our progress over any appreciable length of time. "Atknlttedly, seasonal employ- ment is fairly h.igh. but so is pro. dilation and wages. stabilising prices and a good level of eco- nomic activity have coincided to endow Canadians generally with genuine prosperity." Part of today's trouble said Mr. Parkinson. "is that we have been operating so long at 100 per cent capacity that a 10 per cent drop become! real grist for the mill of the press agents of depression."

"There is no reason why the eco- nomy's balance cannot be secured by improvement of products. cut- ting of costs, reduction of prices and plain hard selling." some argue. continued Mr. Fer- guson. that Canada is over-pro- ducod. Rather, he thought, "we are under-consumed." Accm-ding to bureau of statis- tics figures only half of Canad- ian households have furnaces and only 85 per cent have hot and cold water supply. Onethird of all Canadian homes have no tele- phone. no mechanical refrigera- tor, no bath or shower. Hundreds of thousands have no washing machines. no sewing machines. no cars and no vacuum sweepers. salesmen, Get Cracking! "Don't these figures indicate that. while salesmen have a real challenge. they also have a real opportunity? "Canadian nsumers have plenty of money to keep whole- sale and retail businus hurruning. They have plenty in liquid as- sets and. at present, an annual income or sis,ooo.ooo.ooo slter tax- dollars. But they are no longer willing to search all over the lot for a salesman to sell them some- thing.

In a small shop back of his home Lou has beai making many unusual items out of snake skins for the past quarter century. A- mong them are ladies" handbags. belts, hats, wallets. shoes. key cases, and bow ties for the men. He purchases his skins from Florida's snake farms. When a snake, worn out from a lifetime of surmlng itself be- fore gaping tourists, passes on, its skin winds up in pickle in Lou's workshop. Then it goes through a tanning process and comes out very soft and pliable leather. The pattern on the snaloeks hide in unaffected by the tanning. Then it becomes a hat or what- ever Lou wants to make out of it. Rattlesnakes are his favorite- hencs his nickname, bestowed long ago by his friends. Lou has never killed a snake in his life but waits until they die a. na- turail death. Most of them wind up in his shop anyway. 0 o 0 We ought never to speak des- paragingly of old age.

Now let me tell you of a ceme- tery which contains not a single dead person. This strangest of all cemeteries may be seen at Ocean- side. California. It is on the es- tate of Chuck Martin, iamous Western fiction writer. Each of the 188 characters Martin has put to death in his half hun- dred books has been given a. grave in the cemetery where there are no dead. Each tombstone is mark- ed with an Illrlnopriatc epitaph. Martin, who rose from obscurity to become one of today's most prolfic writers says, "why shouldn't I give my victims a decent burial? They died to make me a well off man.” 0 O C One of the world's longest page wire fences is now beinl bum- in Australia at a cost of sl30,000 to keep emus out of wheat lands.

CHARLOTTETOWN Canadais Exports In January Down Sharply OTTAWA. (CP) -Canada's ex- ports, which normally provide a- bout one-quarter of the country's income, dropped sharply during January, but Trade Minister Howe said the trend cannot be judged on the basis of one month's trade. Shipments to all countries fell to SRS.I00,000. s 856,900,000 drop from 8331100000 lln Jlnunry. 1953. the Bureau of Statistics reported. Ex- ports to the United States. Can- ada's lop customer. were the low- est since 1950. Those to Britain fell to a 13-year low. Imports also took a heavy plunge. dropping by 545800.000 to 801,900,000 from 8327,800,000 last year. But they still were larger than exports and the monthly def- icit in Canadian trade widened to 816,500,000 from 36,500,000 a year ago.- This sudden shift in foreign trade was brought to Mr. Howe's attention in the common: by Hon. Earl Rowe iPC-Dufferin- simcoe). Mr. Howe said the decline in- volved many categories of com- modities, including newsprint. Newsprint production is being maintained, but not as much was shipped out of the country as in some previous months. Exports cannot be Judged on the basis of one month, he said. Weather anl other factors are in- volved. It would take three months of trade to get an idea of how Canada is faring in 1954. The bureau's statement was a liiile Aid For Bright Students from Poor Homes MONTREAL, (GP)-Dr. 1". Cyril James, principal and vice-chancel- lor of McGill University, said Tues- day that in spite of urgent need for educated men and women in in- creasing numbers Canada is doing little to help the bright boy or girl born into a poor family. Addressing a meeting of business men and educaiionists sponsored by the l-fea,dmastcrs' Auociation of Montreal, Dr. James said: "The evidence available suggests that the cost of school education in Canada hear more heavily upon poor families than is the case either in England or the United States. It is notorious that Canada has done very much less than either of these countries in the way of scholarships or bursaries to help youngsters of ability who come from families with restricted money incomes." The lack of a nation-wide policy to provide educational opportunit- nlcs was even more aparent in con- nection with univcrsity enrolment. Less than six per cent of those between the ages of 18 and 21 are attending college, he said. while preliminary estimate and con- tained no detail of commodities.
