We Trade In

There is a time, or many times,
when one wonders about education and
would we have been happier (not wealth-
ier) with a better or different opportun-
ity to acquire book learning.

Today there is much talk about the
need for trade schools. Teaching plumb-
ing, for instance. The problem is there
are lots of plumbers who can thread or

. solder pipe ‘but few who know why water
won't run up hill unless it's pushed.

Credit Reform is Necessary

The other day the Dominion Bureau

of Statistics released figures showing | the
of credit outst:

in Canada last March 31. The figures
included sales finance company credit on
consumer goods, cash loans and install-
ment credit through .small-loan compan-
ies, outstanding balances with department
furniture . and: appliance stores, secured
and unsecured bank loaris, home improve-
ment loans. The total was $3,664 million;
which means that, on average, every Can-
adian man, woman and child has a per-
sonal debt of around $200.

The statistics st that Canadi

than nine bills along the same lines have
been introduced; but none has_ been ‘ap-
proved, although all have received sub-
stantial vocal support from members of
all parties.

“Last year a credit reform bill intro-
duced by Edward Nasserden, Conserva-
tive member for Rosthern, was talked out
on the floor of the House. Senator Croll’s

Undoubtedly these. figures have giv-

kind of credit reform or. policing. Last

tabled-a motion to set up a special joint .

Foremost among the reformers is
Senator David Croll, who again: is sponsor-
