Things will be different when they make pianos of light­ weight aluminum. Already one firm has started making alumi­ num 64-key portable pianos. During Alcan’s fifty years in Canada, so many new uses have been found for aluminum that today we operate 12 plants in various parts of the country and the industry provides em­ ployment for thousands—and that’s not counting all the people who work for more than 1000 Canadian companies which shape Alcan aluminum into all sorts of forms from fish tags to airplanes.

Something important you should know about your husband Honestly Always Pays Some time ago when the Ful­ ler Brush man was in the vil­ lage, he made the wrong change, giving a certain Lucanite $1 too much. On his next visit, this Lucanite happened to be in a friend’s home when he called so she returned his dollar. The Fuller Brush man, unaware of his error, was most grateful for the return of his money. Recently he visited this same neighbour again. During his visit he learned the lady who re­ turned his money was in the hospital. He immediately took from his purse not one dollar, but two with the request flowers be sent to her. It is said “Crime doesn’t pay” but honestly cer­ tainly does. You know him better than anyone else in the world. You know his bad points as well as his good ones. But one of his best points may have escaped your notice. You know that he doesn’t do many of the things he’d like to do with his money — because the family income will only go so far. And you know that he might reasonably spend money freely now —- without a thought for your future. But he doesn’t. Regularly, he puts aside money to give you the protection of life insurance. True, he may gain benefit from that insurance during his own life, but that isn’t why he owns it. The real reason can be found in his concern for your welfare. Do you co-operate with his efforts to provide for you in this important way? Are you encouraging his habit of thrift? Right now, it’s more important than ever to save money. For every dollar put aside • for the future helps to check inflation . . . helps to protect the value of all your money. So check over your budget. See what new savings you can make 1 Lucan’s Convalescent Home The Duncan Ross house has changed hands again. Mrs. Har­ per has gone back to London and Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Robert­ son and their two daughters, Cecelia and Jene, have moved in. All the tenants who had small apartments in the house have moved out. It is being decorated and renovated for a convalescent home. Both Mr. and Mrs. Robert­ son are trained nurses, receiving their training in England where they ran a nursing home, and Cecilia goes in training next year (Jene is still going to school). At present Mr. Robert­ son is on duty at the Ontario Hospital and Mrs. Robertson is doing special nursing in London hospital. The Ross home should make an ideal convalescent home and being so large can accommodate a great number of patients. Even now several rooms are ready for. occupancy. A convalescent home is something Lucan needs badly so to the Robertson’s, Lucan ex­ tends the hand of welcome and wishes them the very best of luck. May their sojourn in the village be a long, happy and prosperous one. The LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES IN CANADA and their representatives L-65ID H. J. CORNISH & CO.
