Bank of Montreal The Bank of` Toronto The Canadian Bank of Commerce The Dominion Bank Imperial Bank of Canada The Bank of Nova_ Scotia The Provincial Bank of Canada The Royal Bank of Canada Banque Canadienne Nationale Barclays Bank (Canada) These banks are constituted under the Bank Act- an act of the Parliament of Canada. — They compete with each other for your business. — This makes for fair and eb cient operation and for quality of service. Enterprises and individuals may go to any or all of them to deposit money, obtain loans and transact any other banking business. Security and privacy are two fundamentals which the Cana- dian people have • always de- manded of their banks. -They maintain more 'than 4,350,000 deposit accounts, knowing that their money is available` when they want it. In thousands of daily „,contacts with' bank man- agers and staffs, they know that their private affairs will be held strictly confidential. In every sense of the word, the banks are servants of the people. Lord Macmillan wrote in the Royal Commission report of 1933: "The mechanism of finance is a delicate one; the confidence upon which it is based is a slow growth, but it may be destroyed over -night, and those to whom is entrusted responsibility for thewel- fare of the people must proceed with caution in the adoption of changes.' In any of -more than 3,000 branches and sub.agencies of the Chartered Banks across Canada you can entrust your savings and discuss your financial affairs with assurance that privacy will be maintained."' � 11Ipps�� .. ....illsaria n Cperis ($y Margaret Butcher) How comforting it is that nothing can interfere with the seasons!

The' Gardening Partner, his trusty ,old , gardening suit reinforced with handsome leather patches, is season. ably gloomy and predicts the worst, as always. But there is life—real life --in the air; the birds are chirping and tvyeedling away in the trees and on housetops, sled today the whole place has a lush green look after the rain.

Yes, it's got me to -day. Some day the world will be sane egain and people will be happy — if they have eu.vugh sense. • I guess we'll have to use our sense, all the same. -But I.'m not one of those pessimists, for the war has' shown us one thing: that human be- ings can, under pressure, show extra- ordinary courage, determination and gumption. ' Most curious of all, they can show Unselfishness. That is go- ing to b® the snag, for it always is I've been talking to a man and his wire about it all: a couple who are just too old to be roped into anything and who are pretty cosy in their cir- cumstances.

Jelly may be tough if juice and sugar are boiled together too long or if -loci little sugar was used ac- eording to amount of acid and ripe- ness o€ fruit. For example, not - too -ripe currants contain a lot of acid and -require some water.

" Bridge C ollapses Jake 'Burstyn is suffering from back injuries received when his truck plunged 20 feet to the river bed when a' county bridge, known as Cunning- ham bridgeron the 9th concession of Grey, collapsed -under the truck. Travelling east with their empty truck, Mr: Burstyn and his son' were half 'way across the bridge when they realized that it was collapsing. ,They speeded up the truck but the west end of the structure gave way and the vehicle plunged backwards down the planking into the three-foot deep river. A portion of the metal girders collapsed onto the top of the rack, but themen were able to crawl out and climb the broken bridge to the road. This is ,the second bridge in that vicinity, that' has collapsed in several months. The other was the one at Ethel that gave way under C. R.

It's human nate*e." She says: "I think it's silly—all this. worrying ' about future getierations. What's it got to do •with us?" Went a Shade Sulky I think I just went quiet and a shade sulky—which was cowardly of me, and I know it now. But that sort of talk staggers one . . . and when one is sitting there'eating somebody else's food—well, it's a spot to be in, believe me. What I ought to have done is 'plain enough; I ought to have said: Yes, and it's just folk like you who're the bother, and whd' alwa; s will be. Yu i're the kind to beware; of, and if the rest of us really know what to do in the future we shall ft eoze you out. You won't be met at anybody's party; you won't have any n'ce snug billets on comrn'itees or. councils. You'll be so darned uncom- fortable 'soci illy that you'll realize ya . don't fit in anywhere." . Some day, without a doubt, I shall say something of the sort. So if you hear that I am an outcast, only able to move around under police escort, you'll know that the war is over and things have slipped back into the same dear .old groove. But, all fo,+]•' ing apart, what can be done about people like that? Personally, I think there should be a truce to politeness for awhile; the. rest of us—nearly all of us, happily should be free to tell those people rrecisely what our, opinion of them really is. You can imagine what we murmur among ourselves, can't 'you? People with sons who are fighting, husbands who are tiring their almost aged bones in the Civil Guard, mothers, and daughters who are rush- ing about in -canteens or nursing. Yes, it's very odd, but I've noticed that the , folk with the strongest self-interest and instinct of •self-preservation are invariably the least worth' keeping alive. Well, ' when things begin to take shape again it might ,pay us to watch those folk. They will be up to their old tricks, given half a chance. Put Out Of My Quarters i Today I am with my good friends • who have a half -a -dozen evacuees in their house; yet, they have found a corner for me to work in, bless them. At my own lodgings there is now a seeping war -worker: a girl who, this week, is on night shift, so'I have crept out to rattle nay typewriter" elsewhere. War -workers are being billeted all ov- er the place,and it's no good for your smug householders to"object. A vacant room means Shelter for somebody, and the louder the object tion 'the larger the Wan-worker-- which ar-workerwhich is as it should be. But most folk are very decent about it all; one woman teIis me that her new billette is "a real 'blessing" and looked after her, as much as possible, when she was ill. All this, as you can imagine, is making a tremendous difference to the average home which, in the old days, was likened to "an Englishman's castle." The stranger is now well within the gates. All. over England there are new steps on the stairs,, strange coats hanging on, the family pegs, alien. sponges in the bath -tray. My private opinion is that it is an excellent no- tion and something that will do a power of good all. 'round. We aren't an 'island people any more; there are no real islands nowadays; so we're learning to be good mixers instead. My friends here • are kindness itself tt; their London evacuees,, taking no end of trouble overthe'two children. One feels quite sure that -those kid- dies, ,no matter what the future holds for them, will never outgrow the in- fluence of these kindly, well-bred host of theirs.' Anything but the best will always seem a trifle shoddyl to them after this environment in their most impressionable years. Real Unselfishness The whole atmosphere of this house is one of real unselfishness, of the wish to help the other fellow in every possible way. -It's wonderful. One may come around and wash clothes in their hot-water sinks; a young sol- dier turns up one night a week and practices on their piano; the home- less are gladly welcome to any little privilege a home can offer; and they themselves 'spent most of their time in one room, loyally saving light and fuel. The striking thing about it all is that they are_much, muc happier than those other two- people Who are so wrapped up in making as little dif, ference as possible in their lives. Na- turally, they don't like having their, existence disrupted—who would?— but I know they have the satisfaction of feeling that they're making •'a- job of it as best they can. , Last week, by means of working like made in my spare time for a month, and by borrowing ,sketehes from everybody' who has one, I got together enough for an Art Section in a country `show.' It was held in a little village neat -here, where nobody has much spare cash, and Wasin aid of the country hospital. We had a truly hectic, Satt'iirdoy a'tternooain;4he achoalreomd, and many' of 'the wetaen, .worked like alird.party froro two till brewttig rilrers• of tea, orgatzing raffles ,ad eot>i.petition;s, running the eotlebett 4th'C Seillnk tve* eerie ria, the atal a --,,the tgh softie of die- what • 44.$s+xth ,4t 17,04 #7.

It is so hard to look as of (Me had came, in on pur- pose.) And believe it or not, that little fete ne'tited over five 'hundred, dollars. We/should have considered' ourselves lucky to get two hundred. The organizer—a woman I hadnow known before—saw me ,'sketching one Saturday and we got into conversa- tion. Sh.e asked me if I would help the little show, and thus I have made more friends. They have a really beautiful house in the village; two or three sixteenth -century cottages turn- ed into one, and I was their guest for, the night. AU day long they are working at something: running sav- ingsgroups, b collecting for the Red Cross, holding the village effort to- gether. All day folk are leaning their bicycles against the wall and knock- ing on the front door. No 'house in London was ever 'busier. During our manouvres they were always on the lookout for 'bone-dry soldiers who could do with a cup of, tea: and I guess plenty were bone- dry in that strenuotes time. They were everywhere, dusty, dirty and workmanlike, and one heard 'Canadian voices all over the place. They'll be coming 'home with the English tea habit firmly ingrained after this; and one of them said to me having spent the winteil here: "It'll take me some time to get used to the warmth again, I guess, when I get back home. So don't take it too hard if, for the first fortnight, they show a disposi- tion to loosen collars and open win- dows! It will 'pass. Lodgers Face North Inciden•talIy, I have just loosened my own collar. The sun ispouring in through the open window — oh, lovely warmth! In my Lodgings I never see a gleam, .for I face north, and it makes the winter a long, bleak, stretch. Some day, when all' `this' is over, I'll have a sunny room again, maybe; but it is, I think, an axiom that The Lodger... Always 'Faces North. s Ei .._._ "Our Family Regulator is DR.

SOLIJIEII of the SOIL HIS year the Canadian Farmer urgently need's help. He needs your help to produce the food so necessary for victory. Many thousands of farm workers are serving in the Forces, so that the farmer —the Soldier of the Soil—is shorthanded, but shorthanded as he is, he is'calle upon to produce more food. than ever before. Foods one of the most powerful weapons of war. Grains, bacon, dairy pro- ducts, eggs,' beef fruit, vegetables—FOOD to feed our armies, our allies and our people we must have. *FEAT CAN YOU DO., .....-.
