OTTAWA FECB-13 res EXCHANGE CONTROL BOARD me Wael $10 in Amery and Son Members of the Olds Chamber ot Cc enjoyed an immensely profitable afternoon on Saturday last when they were privileged to hear Rt. Hon. L. S. Amery and his son, Julian Amery, of Britain, speak to them. ' The speakers were touring Can- ada, and had arranged to come to Olds through the courtesy’ of R. G. Habkirk, representing the Trust and Loan of Canada. Following a luncheon at the Pub- lic Lunch Cafe, the group adjourned to the sample. rooms of the Vic- toria Hotel where Mr. Amery and Julian told something of their ex- periences. \ Capt. Julian Amery of London, can lay claim to being the only British officer to have led Russian troops in the Second Great War. In Calgary Friday, the 30-year-old Briton who has seen more of war than of civilian life, told of his days during the war when he spent four years organizing guerrilla for- ces in the Balkans to fight against the enemy. He was travelling with his dis- tinguished father, Rt. Hon. Leo- pold S. Amery, P.C., elder states- man of Britain and former secre- tary of state for India. For the younger Amery, the month-long tour of Canada — his first — is to learn more about the Deminion as a background for the political life he hopes to follow. or. his father, it is a business trip in the interests of Trust and Loan of Canada, of which he is president. The task of leading a group of Russians against the enemy oc- curred in 1944 in Albania where Capt. Amery had gone to organize a. revolt against the Germans. “We came across 200. Russians who had .been captured by the Germans. and were put on road work,” he related. “We equipped them and in my very bad Russian indicated we were going to move in on a German post. We managed to capture the post.” During the attack, Captain Amery had one of his closest shaves. A German sniper fired at him and the bullet knicked ‘his chin. The sear is there for proof. He. organized similar guerrilla groups in Yogoslavia and Bulgaria, and is a strong advocate of guer- rilla. warfare. *1 ‘sincerely bélieve that guer- rilla troops are important in war as the armed forces. Communists You CAN still find people who ‘‘don’t believe in ' panks”.. .. who keep their cash in old coffee pots, or hide it in the woodpile, or carry it around. But most folk nowadays keep their money in bank accounts, They can get it whenever they want it; h and they can pay their bills by cheque. Canadians have more than seven million such deposit accounts. In terms of Canuda’s adult population, that makes it practically unanimous. ' The banks, in tun, chow they must earn this confidence by giving you the best service they know how. , Today you can take your account to any: bank: you choose. And what is in your bank book is strictly between you and your bank.

We must be prepared to fight the same way.” In many ways Capt. Amery’s career is following that of his father. Both have done consider- able. writing, and both started. by working on British newspapers. As Mr. Amery. left home to fight in the Boer war, his son was in the Spanish civil war. Mr. Amery. served. 34 years as member of parliament for a Birm- yingham constituency, and. Julian, also a staunch Conservative, ran in Preston, Lancashire, at the last election. While defeated by a nar- row margin, he plans to run again. Mr. Amery has made several vape to’ Canada, his first being in “I walked from Battleford to Mount Robson, and I travelled down the Fraser by canoe. This time I’m travelling by car in a few days the territory it took me a month to cover in those days. A noted mountain climber. in his earlier days, he has a -mountain south of the ‘Columbia Icefields named after him. ,Shortly after Mt. Amery was named in 1929, Mr. Amery came out to climb it. He and his party are the only. ones who have climbed it to date. | “It is a fine upstanding moun- ‘tain — a difficult climb, but pos- sible.” , During their brief stay here, the distinguished gentleman asked the local members of the chamber their opinions of English goods coming into this country, and forthright answers were given. by leading lo- cal merchants as to the local sit- uation.

On that day cit- izens of the Dmionion will return their favored government to power. That is the law of democracy.. Too often, how- ever, the vote on the Dominion election, been a question of only 50 to 60 percent of the voting population taking part. ‘What the other 30 to 40 percent think jor act upon is never known. The party "elected to a government with a majority of the popular vote is inevitably serving only the majority of the population that ivotes. If the remaining citizens who, time after time, failed. to vote, got out and expressed their opinion at the poll the matter of election could be taken as a strong indication of the will of the people. In this age, more than any other, |it behooves Canadians to make a special ,attempt to speak at the polling booths. No one of voting age should be absent from this their duty and privilege un- less it is through illness. No matter how you vote — get out and vote Monday, June 27. 1s KIDDIES’ PLAYGROUNDS The problem of kiddies’ playgrounds is one of improtance in the rearing of children in Olds. We know that little can be done under the present budget of the town for improving them to a point where they are the point of per- fection. However, we believe there are enough chidren-loving parents. in the town who would be willing through an existing organization to foster these playgrounds. We believe, too, that as a matter of fact any election, has_ enough equipment and trees can be set in the playgrounds to make them a cent- ral gathering place for the children and their parents. The prblém appears al- ways to have been one of playground supervision. We think this problem, too, can be overcome by personal contact with local sportsmen who would be wil- ling to give one evening every week or “two to helping and coaching the boys and girls.in their favorite pastimes. There needs to-be supervision of the smaller children. who are constantly ly playing on the swings, teeter-totters and slides. This can be arranged if all parents are willing to share some of their time. For the older youngsters we recommend the listening to “Sports College”, an air feature that brings the best coaches and players on the con- tinent to discuss. pays and training in sport. We think, too, that “Sports Col- lege” somewhat solves the problem of a recreational coach. At least it goes a long way in helping the youngsters to better sport, cleaner living and better health.
