OTTAWA, April l0.-Dissim-
liar as they are in many re-
spects, the Republicans Of the
United States and the Con.
servatives OF Canada have two
things in common: A big city
problem and an Eastern Mid
western split.

enbaker was defeated in Mon

son Richard M. nixon lost the
presidency in 1860. He couldn't
crack the urban vote.
The Conservatives lost all
but one Of Montreal's 2l seats

cities, Toronto. Ottawa, York
and Hamilton.
It was q massacre OF his
toric proportions and 1t doomed

gone solidly Conservative In
1858. was lost without a trace.
Three members OF the DEF
enbaker cabinet went down in
the Ontario urban slaughter.
One was Richard A. Bell Of
Carleton in the Ottawa metro
politan area, q district that had
been Conservative ever since
Canada became q nation In
1857.
Tories Sweep Farms
In the rural areas, the story
was completely reversed. 1t was
a Tory triumph.
In wheat-growing Saskatch-
evan, the Conservatives not
only swept all II seats but did

THE SMALL BUSINESS


THERE IS a strong argameat for small business, and it is
particularly applicable in these parts. That argument is that
it goes to the very foundation Of our economy. It is out Of
recognition for the unusual place Of this type Of business that
the Federal Government set out to provide aid and guidance
for it.
THE SMALL BUSINESS may well be the backbone Of
our economy. individuals have an excellent opportunity OF
developing their enterprises, and serving the needs of their
community and neighborhoods as no other system can. There
is pride of ownership, an understanding, and a contribution
to be made by the small business not possible with any other
place.
AN EXAMPLE f lack of the small enterprise, and its
tragic consequences is glaringy shown in the breakdown Of
the homesteading projects. Land suddenly became scarce,
fabulous prices were offered, and before long the small holder
Of land was selling out right and left. AT this point the small
holder found himself with money in his pockets, but no source
of income.
NOR CAN'T BE SAID that the price received was sample
enough to allow for investing 50 that income could come from
that source. What it meant is that the seller could live for a
while, but after that, what? r For the first few months things
seemed rosy, but as time passed the overall economy will
begin to show the result of lack Of income,
POPULAR SINGER Tennessee Ernie Ford recorded a
song in which a company worker laments the fact that he
owed his soul to the company store" While this may not be
the case here, the possibilities are nevertheless very much
alive. Carried a step further, a town can often reflect the
image Of a single enterprise. In such a situation, the company
owns the stores, does all the importing, and selling, even owns
and controls the newspaper, and in general may dictate all
policy. AT this point initiative and individual effort lie dor
mani.
OUR PEOPLE must be aware Of the tremendous value
in the small business, and never allow anything to take its
type.
