SEVENTY-FIVE YEARS OF BANKING
From the horse and buggy- days to the
industrialized and mechanized present, The
Dominion, Bank has fostered and promoted
the developing Canadian economy and way of
living. Strengthened by 75 years of experience
and cumulative efficiency, The Dominion
Bank plans for the future with confidence,
eseiesees.
eeeeeeesee.„.
Cities repla nned and beautified in their central
areas to reverse the trend that has drawn the'city
worker to the suburbs, leaving slums and ugliness
to flourish in his wake—that is part of the vision
the coming years must make a reality.
The most populous parts of our cities must be made
liveable again, by clearing away the debris of a
past age, opening congested areas to light and air,
and providing elbow room for the city dweller.
Scientific planning, a co-operative community
spirit, wise direction of financial resources, can
make this possible. In such progressive develop-
ments as this, The Dominion Bank, with a tradition
of community service covering three quarters of a
century, will be proud to play its part.

Toronto. Rat Situation
At'Plague Proportion
Toronto,—"Hogtown'i a a sobriquet
for Toronto has gone out of fashion,
but those who wish can use “ratville"
instead and run no risk of ,elander.
The live hogs in this town you could
count easily on' five fingers, Not so
with rats, They are so bad in Toronto
that .a meeting not unlike the 18th cen-
tury parley in Germany's Hannover has
been called when Mayor Robert Saun-
ders and his council, haying despaired
that any 20th century Pied Piper will
come ankling along Yonge Street, get
down to the big question of what to do
about the plague.

May Keep Meyer In 1J, K. Prison
London,—Maj, Gen, Kurt Meyer,
German divisional commander, may
serve his life sentence for atrocities
against Canadian prisoners of war in
Britain instead of Canada.

ties have advised the British Govern-

such in Canada and therefore are in

special accommodation. Britain, on
the other hand, has several military
prisons including the Tower of Lon-
don.
