IW I , .,', Suggest Early Start on Christmas Spruce -up At Home With the advent of the festive season and its whirl of holiday en- tertaining, do you ever find your- self taking a guest -eye view of your home? Sometimes this is pretty dis- couraging. You wonder how you could have overlooked all the lit- tle defects your eyes suddenly dis- cover. The worn patch of paint by the door . those dull looking lamp shades . . . the ring on the coffee table ... none of them ma- jor but all detracting from the kind of impression you want your home to give. You may decide despairingly that if time permitted nothing less than a complete decoration job will do. Well, time does permit before Christmas engulfs you. The late fall and early winter is ac- tually a sensible time for interior painting. The garden work is fin- ished and time is more plentiful now than it will be next spring. If you use latex paint you won't have to open a window even though the weather is cold or raw. Latex paints have no "painty" od- our, go on fast with brush or roll- er, and dry to the touch in min- utes, You can latex -paint a whole room and have the pictures back on the wall the same day if nec- essary. In fact, the actual paint- ing may take less time than you spend trying to select a color scheme from the wide range avail- able in latex paints. F,requently you can give an en- tire room a fresh look without re- USBORNE & HIBBERT MUTUAL FIRE INSURANCE CO. HEAD OFFICE - Exeter, Ontario President: Alex J.

Mit. Gemmell and Mrs. L. Nichol were maven - sorting to a complete redecora- tion. Accessories like pictures, for example, can be given a new im- portance if the frames are re- painted a different color to com- plement or contrast pleasingly with the subject and the room. Or parchment shades take on a dramatically different look with a coat of latex paint. Even if your problem is a table or chair whose finish is marred, you no longer have to wait until you can afford the money for a professional refinishing job or the time for a long and tedious do-it- yourself project, Once considered a man's job,, more and more wo- men are tackling furniture refin- ishing and finding it the most re- warding of hobbies, A possible reason for this trend is the de- velopment of improved paint re- movers. Those with a methylene chloride base have been a boon to amateur refinishers. Sold under various brand names, these paint removers are safe to use and quickly lift the most stubborn fin- ish from the original wood sur- face, leaving it clean, ready for resanding and refinishing. A com- plete range of commercial wood stains and finishes are available so you can duplicate the original finish or apply the new one of your choice. So let your eye be as critical as it pleases. Paint ... pictures .. lamp shades . . . furniture . . . any of these spruce -up projects are easy on your budget and time, And all of them will give your home an added sparkle that even the Christmas tree can't dim. BETTER HEALTH' By C. A. DEAN, M.D. MEDITORIAL: Last fall the In- stitute of Life Insurance released some interesting statistics about obesity and its effect on mortality. There is nothing surprising in the report but it emphasizes the im- portance of maintaining "normal" or "slightly below normal" weight. Five million people were involv- ed in this study which covered a 25 -year period. -It showed that inch for inch we weigh more than our parents. Those who are 20 pounds above average incur a ten per cent higher death rate. This is increased to 25 per cent at 25 pounds and to 50 per cent for those 50 pounds above average. The chief causes of the increased mortality are diabetes, gall• blad- der disorders and heart disease. The lowest mortality rate was found in those who are 15 to 20 pounds below average weight. The lesson is evident, We must all strive for average or prefer- pably slightly below average weight. In this way we can eliminate all the complications of obesity. (Q.): "How serious is frozen shoulder? What treatment would you recommend?" Mrs. L. D. (A.): Frozen shoulder is a com- plication of many conditions, such as chronic bursitis, fractures, ten- don infections or chronic sprains. It results mainly from failure of the patient to exercise the joint properly. As the name implies, the shoul- der is stiff, immovable and usual- ly painful. Treatment depends on clearing' the underlying trouble, then using exercise and heat to re- establish normal shoulder motion. B of M Resources Are At New High Bank of Montreal resources reached a new high during 1960 and new records were set in al- most every phase of the bank's operations, according to its 143rd annual statement for the year end- ed October 31st. B of M assets rose more than $225 million to $3,485, million dur- ing the year, while loans' in all categories maintained the 1959 peak of 1,773 million. Total deposits were shown at $3,200 million, an increase of $202 million, or 6.7 per cent, from 1959, and were 'the highest in the bank's history. The expansion was large- ly attributable to Canadians' per- sohal savings and to foreign de- posits. Quick assets of $1,771 million, or $193 million more than a year earl- ier. reflected the traditionally strong liquid position of the bank. This amount represents almost 54 per cent of all B of M liabilities to the public, against 51.6 per cent in 1959. Earnings At Record Earnings before taxes were at the record figure of $31,578,780. But $17,352,044—equal to 55 per cent— was earmarked for taxes, so that the net profit for the year's opera- tions of more than. 840 B of M of- fices at home and abroad was $14,- 226,736. This was $2,035,678 more than in 1959. The bank's 21.000 shareholders are receiving $2.00 per share—or $12,148.167 of the year's net pro- fit -15 cents more than the 1959 figure of $1.85, and 35 cents more than the $1.65 'paid in 1958. Shareholders' Equity Up The transfer of $2 million from undivided profits brought the B of M's "rest—or reserve—account to $141,850,000. This, plus paid-up eapital of $60,750,000 and the re- maining undivided profits, brought total shareholders' equity to the record figure of $203,750,859. ers. The president, Mrs. Cudmore, opened the meeting by all singing "0 Canada," accompanied by Mrs. Walter Kern The nominating committee for the officers -for.next year are Mrs. Adams, Mrs. Machan and Mrs. Cudmore.
