Besides widening your view of the road, the Motoramic Chevrolet broadens the whole horizon of the low-priced car. It was built around the idea that a car doesn't have to be high-priced to look, ride and N•. :wo{ See your Chevrolet Dealer SEAPORT H perform like it. A lot of time and sweat went into the building. A lot of old traditions went out the win- dow because they didn't measure up to this daring new concept. Trust Chevrolet to have the re- sources and the skill—yes, and the courage—to break so completely with the past. Everything's new in Chevrolet! Everything — from its tubeless tires to its lower top. There's new beauty with that long, low "let's go" look ! New fun underfoot with the new "Turbo -Fire" V8 and the new "Blue -Flame" six I A new choice of drives—new Overdrive, Super -Smooth Powerglide (extra - cost options), and new standard transmission !

The Insti- tute plans to arrange the program ad serve lunch at the Auxiliary meeting March 2. Mrs_ Archie Morgan, Mrs. Hugh Love and Mrs. Alvin Moir were named a com- Ata press conference, Mr. A. C. Ashforth and Mr. William Kerr, President and General Manager re- spectively of The Toronto -Domin- ion Bank, advised that all details of amalgamation had now been completed and the combined insti- tution is in active operation. The new institution becomes the fourth largest of Canada's char- tered banks with assets in excess of one billion, one hundred mil- lions, and a branch network which provides an excellent national cov- erage from Halifax to Victoria. Commenting on the amalgama- tion they had the following to say: "Both banks were built on a policy of close personal service to their customers and the policy of the amalgamated bank will be to continue to provide that•type of service, broadened to include new features made •possible by its greater facilities and financial re- sources. It is not anticipated that any branches will have to be dos- ed immediately as a result_ of ov- erlapping of territory and if ev- entually closing occu>�•s at a very few points this will only happen after a very careful study of the situation to ensure that our bank- ing service to our customers and friends will not be impaired. Thus, personnel are assured of the maintenance of their positions in an • enlarged institution in which there will be greater opportunities for advancement. "No action is required on the part of customers to ensure con- tinuance of existing banking ar- rangements, as the amalgamated bank is assuming all the assets and obligations of The Bank of Toronto and The Dominion Bank. Present loan arrangements con- tinue unchanged. All existing transactions remain valid, as well as cheques, money orders, travel- lers' cheques, letters of credit, and other directions issued upon or by the amalgamating banks. Pass books, cheque forms and other forms of The Bank of Toronto and The Dominion Bank will continue to be used for the time being. New forms will be introduced gradual- ly as present supplies are exhaust- ed." Head Office of the amalgamat- ed bank will be the former Bank of Toronto Head Office at King and Bay Streets, Toronto. Execu- tive offices and certain depart- ments will be housed there with the remainder being located in the former Dominion Bank Head Of- fice at King and Yonge Streets. The Board of Directors of the new bank will be composed of the boards of the predecessor banks. Its chairman will be Mr. B. S. Vanstone, formerly the President of The Bank of Toronto, and Mr. Robert Rae, formerly the Presi- dent of the Dominion Bank, will be vice-chairman. The amalgamation is unique in Canadian banking, inasmuch as it brings together two institutions who grew to prominence on their own efforts entirely, neither ever having taken over or merged with another bank . The Bank of To- ronto was awarded its charter in 1855 and opened for business in 1856. The Dominion Bank was in- corporated in 1869 and began op- erations in 1871. Previous bank fusions in Ca ada, of which 12 took place - tween 1917 and 1931 and -------- ne since, were invariably by way of purchase and sale. The Toronto - Dominion Bank was not brought into existence by this procedure, but by a process of amalgamation made possible by the 1954 Revision of the Bank Act. Such process required the ap- proval of the Minister of Finance which was granted as already an- nounced on November 1.. There- after the approval of the share- holders to the amalgamation Was sought and obtained at the annual meetings of the two banks, and the Governor -in -Council gave his sanction on February 1. As provided by the amalgama- tion contract, shareholders of The Dominion Bank will shortly re- ceive one new share in substitu- tion for each share now held. Bank of Toronto shareholders will get four shares in the new bank for every three now held. As fractions of shares cannot be is- sued, those which occur as a re- sult of the conversion will be set- tled in cash. First Old Maid: "Oh, Agatha I'm going out tonight with a used car salesman."

WATERLOO Cattle Breeding Association "Where Better Bulls Are Used" THE USE OF OUR BULLS WILL ASSURE YOU THAT: Your young stack will have the inherent ability to produce be they beef or'dairy. The good producers make more dollars. Your young stock will not have inherent undesirable charac- teristics. Special attention is paid to this in the bull selection for Unit use. Freedom from the danger of handling a bull. Several people are lulled or hurt each year on Ontario farms by bulls. Insemina- tors are not dangerous. Freedom of the danger of spreading disease. Unit bulls are tested for many diseases and are under very strict health rules'. A good way to spread infection is the neighbourhood use of a bull. Inseminators are trained to disinfect boots between farms and use a new disposable breeding tube for each cow. Your total breeding costs will be lower. No capital invest- ment in 'a bull is required and there is no risk of death loss of sires- The estimated cost to keep a bull on the farm is $200.00 to $300.00 per year. Yon will have accurate breeding records. During January, 1955. we had a 16.6'1 increase over January, 1954, or 479 cows.
