coast of the Bahamas, 6Q .young men will be skin-diving with a purpose this summer.
They're members of the Adventurer club, formed in -Toronto for the purpose of
searching for and finding the wreckage of "a Spanish galleon sunk in the 17th century
with $50;000,000 in silver bullion aboard. The members shown here, John Smart, Tom
Rutherford, Brian James and .George Bubanko, are already training with skin-diving
equipment, studying maps and planning their assault on the centuries-old mystery.
Brian: Jetties originated the idea a,nd advertised 'for partners in the venture, In two
weeks -he received 300 applications. If the treasure is found, it will be divided equal-

NEW SIGNS—Uniformity of traf-

traffic authorities throughout
the world as one of the major
steps toward reducing highway
accidents, Here, Vicki Devcrill

have been authorized by Ontario
as part of the standardization
program, They ,were exhibited
at the recent convention of the
Ontario Good Roads Association
in Toronto to familiarize coun-
ty and township officials with
the type of signs that have been
approved. Made , of retroflective
material, the sighs show up in
headlights with exactly the saine

they have in daylight. With
standardized signs traffic au-

My Lord, What A Morning
You have missed a real thrill
if you have not read the auto-
biography ,of Marian Anderson
in "My Lord, What a Morning."
Tolscanini has said that a voice
like hers happens only once in a
hundred gears.
The story in this book tells
of ix woman who took the var-
ious turns of fate in her uphill
climb. There is the grim humor
of her first concert in New York.
There is the side of her life
that few people knew, the happy
marriage and home in Connect-
icut. Particularly moving is her
philosophy and patience toward
race prejudice, which she has
endured with sadness rather
than anger.
There is an. inescapable ap-
peal in this book. It ,is on the
shelves of Your Library,
YES, DEFINITELY!
"Does local option no -license
ddcrease local drinking?"
Yes, definitely! On the evidence
of many surveys it has been
proved. that the volume di drink-
ing in any given community is
proportionate to local sentiment
in regard to alcoholie beverages.

linik -of the World Health 'Or-
ganization.
Very y r e c . l
c ent Dr. J. X, W.
reeguson,Director' of Connaughtit
medical research laboratories,
declared at a public meeting
that prohibition was the only
public act in nioder'n times which
did much to reduce alcoholism.
He added, It scorns that most
of vs don't want to abolish the
problem of alcohotisrii. We would
millet live with it. At this stage
ofour history most people are
rel octant: to look at the ONE
NECESSARY CASUAL FACTOR
—access to alcohol."
Why have we in 1.luron Coml.
ty by far the lowest incidence
of elcoholis

to the tact that for many years
we have had the Canada Tent-
