Canada May Reduce
Exchange Value Of
American Dollar
BY the Associated Press

OTTAWA. Sept. 30.-American
tourists may see the end Of cheap
er Canadian dollars today as the
Dominion's cabinet meets to re-
view foreign exchange rates. The
session is widely expected to result
in boosting the value of Canada's
money in terms of United States
dollars.
Ottawa and New York financial
circles regarded last nights Cana
dian announcement that foreign
exchange dealings would be tenn
porarily suspended as an almost
certain prelude to narrowing-or
closing-the Scent gap between
the United States and Canadian
dollars.
At present the Canadian dollar
is officially at 81 per cent dis
count in terms of it's American
counterpart. In other words, one
Canadian dollar is worth 81 United
States cents.
Talk Stimulated.
A striking improvement in Can
'ada's gold and dollars resources
has stimulated talk for some time
that an upward revaluation of the
Dominion currency might be in
the winds. A strong hint in that
direction was seen in Canada's re-
cent decision to lift or modify i'm
port restriction on many products
bought from the United States.
The pause in foreign exchange
dealings was announced by FL
nance Minister Douglas Abbott.
He said the matter was being dis
cussed with the International
Monetary Fund, official guardian
of foreign exchange rates.
Mr. Abbott also cautioned that
it would be 'inadvisable" for the
public to form conclusions as to
what action would be taken until
an official announcement is made"
No Indication Given.
He gave no indication when that
might be, but financial observers
expected it later today or Sunday
so that normal trading may be re-
Sumed Tuesday at the latest.
A similar suspension-designed
to freeze currency speculation
lasting one day ushered in Can
ada's devaluation of her dollar to
the present Scent level below the
American dollar about a year ago.
That was when Britain slashed
the value of the pound sterling
and touched off wave of de-
valuations around the globe.

ACL Railroad Officials Revise
Schedule Of Local Freights

]. S. Rogers, acting superinten-
dent of the Atlantic Coastlir2
Railroad that operates the local
branch line, announced this week
that the schedule of trains max
ing the Tabor City run has been
changed, effective January 1.
Much criticism OF the freight
service into and out of Tabor
City by local merchants and The
Tribune in recent months had
brought to the company's atten.
ton the inadequacy of the ser.
vice and prompted the revision
of the schedule.
Henceforth, that is as of jan
uary l, the train serving Tabor
City will leave Chadbourn at
1000 A. NJ. daily, make its run
to Myrtle Beach and return
through Tabor City. This change
is expected to eliminate the or
ratio schedule of the last few
months during which time the
freight made a run through here
to Florence, S. c. The shorter
distance is expected to keep the
train on schedule and thereby
eliminate the problem of proper.
ly locating care for unloading
each day.
On the old schedule, the train
on many occasions was not able
to place the cars for unloading
even after their arrival here ard
caused considerable loss of time
to local merchants who were a.
waiting incoming shipmnets.
A. E. Goldfinch, president of
the merchants association, said
this week II am mighty happy
that the CoaStline has seen fit to
listen to our complaints and to
make what appears to be the pro-
per steps to remedy the situation.
They have cooperated in every
way since we notified them Of
our dissatisfaction and we appre-
ciate their efforts in trying to
work out a suitable schedule.
The ACL has always been very
cooperative in every way in Tab
or City and their efforts in this
situation emphasizes that they
still appreciate the business
which they receive in Tabor City
and along this branch line"
Rogers said 1--WE have wanted
to better the service ever since
it became evident that you
weren't receiving the service
that you felt you deserved. We
have many friends along this
line and want to do everything
possible to serve them in the
best way possible"

The Tribune does not like to
crowd it's advertising and to
shorten its news coverage as it
has been forced to do in this is
sue. However, in that our en-
tire staff is young and highly
likely to feel the effects of nation
al mobilization into the armed
services before another Christ
mas rolls around, we closed our
doors long enough to allow
everyone to enjoy the holiday
season at home. A skeleton crew
came back to publish this four
