What's your stand on registering life
insurance policies to claim certain
`income tax deductions?
Mr. Campbell
If it's possible, I'm all for it!
Interviewer
You'll be pleased to know you
may register any Mutual Life
policy, except Term, under the
Income Tax Act. Subject to
certain limitations, the savings
portion of your premium can
then be deducted from your tax-
able income each year.
Mr._Campbell
It seems to me that everybody
should know about this!
Interviewer
You're right! Particularly people
who are building a pension for
themselves. Even people now
contributing to a company
pension plan may qualify for
further tax relief. h1165 IC

president of an Institute in
Lisburn, County Antrim, Nor-
thern Ireland. She told of the
farms of 20 to 100 acres and
how the women raised chickens
and pigs to increase farm in-
come. The writer taught
school. The homes are quite
modern, not the white washed,
thatched roofed type seen in
some parts of Ireland.
There was a good response
to the roll call, "The most
dangerous place is our home".
Mrs. Robert Elschner dis-
cussed the motto "Live and let
live is not enough; live and
help live is not too much".
She said, "Break down class
barriers and grow in love to
your fellowman."
Mrs. Harry Rhame gave
helpful hints on the use and
misuse of poisons and gave
antidotes for the different pois-
ons, stressing the necessity of
keeping medicines for adults
as well as poisons out of the
reach of children. Gases and
vapours from engines and re-
frigerator units are also dan-
gerous to humans.
Mrs. Mel Taylor told'of the
4-H clubs taking the course,
"The Club Girl Stands on
Guard". Leaders are Mrs. R.
Adams, Mrs. C. Stokes, Mrs.
Taylor and Margaret Wilson.
She showed a first aid kit which
the club girls have and read of
29 unsafe things in homes
which might cause accidents.
This course will make the girls
more safety conscious.
Winners in the Dutch auc-
tion were Mrs. Harry Rhame,
Mrs. Glad Edgar, Mrs. George
Hamilton and Mrs. Robert An-
derson. A pot luck lunch was
enjoyed.
MAIL EARLY
With the Christmas period
approaching, the Canada Post
Office urges the public not to
delay posting parcels to friends
and relatives overseas. The
public is cautioned to mail as
early as possible. Last minute
postings, if general, might ren
der it imposstoie for the Post
Office to find sufficient accom
modation on the last steamers
leaving in time to ensure Chris
mas delivery.
Males
and Mails
Policewomen, yes; postwo-
men, no, That's the official
word for Canadian women seek-
ing outdoor careers, says The
Financial Post. It was handed
down after Mrs. Norah Stackard
started delivering mail at Es-
quimalt, a suburb of Victoria.
The letter carriers' union called
an emergency meeting to pro-
test she was doing "a man's
job". Postal officials in Otta-
wa promptly took her off it, an-
nouncing that until otherwise
decreed, delivery of mail was
reserved to males.
This news, comments The
Financial Post in an editorial,
will be greeted with some sur-
prise in the many countries
where women not oily deliver
mail, but drive street cars, col-
lect garbage and troop to work
in steel mills. It will also be
noted by Canadian housewives
who walk miles under various
burdens in the course of their
daily tasks. What makes it
right for a Canadian woman to
tote a bundle of groceries, but
wrong for her to tote a bundle
of letters? Right to walk a po-
lice beat, but wrong to walk a
postal one? Here's a worthy
crusade for our women's organ-
izations --to win the female
equal status with the mail.
Ladies' Night at
Clifford Lodge
LAKELET— The Sunday
School room of Knox United
Church, Clifford, was the
scene of the annual Ladies'
Night banquet of Clifford Lodge
A.F.& A.M. No. 315, on
Tuesday of last week.
Toastmaster for the event
was Very Wor. Bro. Arnold
Darroch. The guests were wel-
comed by Wor. Bro. Lyle Mur-
ray. The toast to the ladies
was proposed by Wor. Bro. Jack
Ferguson and responded to by
Mrs. Arnold Darroch.
Bro. Stewart Boyd introduced
the speaker of the evening
Wor. Bro. Jack Waterhouse of
Guelph, who spoke on his re-
cent trip to England. Mrs. L.
Williams and Miss Louise Paul-
in of Clifford, and Mrs. B.
Dixon of Iiarriston contributed
to the evening's entertainment.
Color Predominates in
Lingerie and Garments
After a cool summer, it's
going to be a hot fall and win-
ter as far as color is concerned.
Vibrant blues, reds and greens
are reported to be outselling
black and brown in coats and
dresses in many centres across
Canada.
This rage for color seems to
have seeped through to slips and
foundation garments. For the
first time, color is available
in depth in foundation garment
departments, instead of being
used chiefly to brighten dis-
plays. Furthermore, there's
nothing timid about the hues
offered by major Canadian sup-
pliers: renaissance blue-green,
fiesta red, yellow and marine
blue, which is lighter than
navy, darker than royal. Some
lingerie manufacturers are also
producing slips in match -up
shades.
Industry spokesmen attribute
this more feminine look in
foundation garments to two
factors. One is the influence of
Europe where foundations are
thought of as lingerie items
rattier than entirely in terms of
figure control. The other is the
advent of "Lycra" spandex fibre
which made possible a founda-
tion garment witli both appeal
and control.

thrilled to hear of cases where
'her' boys and girls had obtain-
