Finally the fum- ing maestro revealed his displeasure by filming his expensive watch to the floor, smashing it. The following day a group of sup- posedly penitent musicians presented the aouductor with a gift. It was a watch, one of the large type you could once buy for a dollar. An in - mention read: "For rehearsals." One of the guests turned to a man by his side to criticize the singing of a woman who was trying to entertain them. "What a terrible voice! 'Do you knoiv who she is?" "Yes," was the answer, "She's my wife," "Oh, I beg your pardon. Of course, it isn't her voice, really. It's the stuff she has to sing. I wonder who wrote that awful song;" "I did," was the answer. CANADA'S pioneers, despite varying origins and backgrounds, had one thing in common—Enter- prise—the greatest force for progress ever known. Enterprise which discovered and explored Canada, developed and utilized her resources, built her cities and populated her domain. Enterprise which enabled General Motors to become, in peace, producer of over a million civilian cars and trucks—in war, a mighty arsenal forging front- line rontline weapons for a fighting people. To meet the challenge of tomorrow, the enterprise and initiative of General Motors will create better, safer transportation, link communities more closely together, provide faster, easier distribution of goods, thus help- ing ensure this nation and her people of a rich and splendid future worthy of a rich and splendid heritage.
