BY WIRE • In 1900 the Standard of Living enjoyed by a family was gauged by the size of the home and the number of servants employed. In 1950, the beginning of the second half of the century, the most humble home in the land can, for a few cents, employ electrical servants which all the money in (name of municipality) couldn’t buy in 1900. The good old days are now a back-drop to the Passing Show of a Hew high in the standard of living brought to light and life by electricity.

It’s an aluminum beer barrel, which in his playful moments, he can bang, bounce and generally maltreat without serious dam­ age. Having seen barrels (filled) being tossed around trucks, we can understand why breweries have turned to these rugged, attractive containers. Another reason, of course, is that alu­ minum is an excellent protector for food and drink, preserving their purity and flavour indef­ initely. Aluminum Company of x Canada, Ltd.

Wingham Public Utilities Commission C. E. Shera, Superintendent "Careful, Pauline!" Of course no one would dream of climbing a telephone pole without being especially careful. Yet every time you climb a shaky ladder or stand on a rickety chair you may not realize what a big chance you’re taking. Actually more people have accidents rjg/rt at home than anywhere else. By avoiding accidents you save more than suffering and worry—you save money, too! In a family the size of ours (we’re now over 31,000), these savings are important. That’s why our employees are not only thoroughly trained to use safety tools and methods, but continually reminded to take every precaution to avoid injury to themselves and others. It’s another way we help keep costs down so we can pro­ vide you With the best possible telephone service at the lowest possible cost. How to preVent koine accidents is shown in “Home Safe Home11', a folder available free from the Health Depart­ ment of your Provincial Government or from the De­ partment of National Health and, Welfare, Ottawa.
