One of the best ways to
encourage good sound sleep
is to have a good sound bank balance. Regular
savings can make life a lot pleasanter in a hundred
and one other ways. You may want the down
payment on a home of your own, a TV set or a car , . .
perhaps the children's education is on your mind
or a leisurely retirement someday. Whatever itis
that you want or need, you have to learn the secret
of putting something by regularly. Pay by pay you
store away the money except in emergencies till
you reach your savings goal—then you start saving
for the next one. Why not open a Savings Account

CONTROL . PROMOTION?
Our Provinical legislators in
Ontario know what dangers die
in uncontrolled liquor sale.
They know too that there is
little use expecting social re-
sponsibility from (brewers and
distillers. Over and over again
:they have proved their real in-
terest to be in profits not
people.
One of their specious pleas is
that 'because their business is
legal it merits freedom in ad-
vertising. But .there is a vast
difference between beer and
bread, or whiskey and wheat.
Why control laws for aiceholi�
beverages and not for food and'
furniture? We are all coming
to realize more and more that
all kinds of people are getting
hurt through insufficient con-
trol
of this liquor business. In-
deed, we are led to ask 'whether
we have "control" or "promo-
tion" when we read such figures
as these. Last year the 'Ontario
Government received 55,000,-
000 dollars in liquor revenue—
an increase of 10,000,000 over
19541—Advt.
