I,Iow do you choose a Bank?
Probably because you find it convenient and like
tie people there. Both The Bank of Toronto and
Ms . Dominion Bank grew in Canada. through
T yews of close, personal service to their
sllstoutere in.Tl walks of the nation's life.
That familiar, friendly service will continue to be
a dominant feature of The Toonto-Dominion
Bank. The experience of the men and women who
contributed so much to the progress of the individual
institutions is now combined to serve you better.
You'll like the Toronto -Dominion people -and you'll like
rite convenience of over 450 branches across Canada.

ANNUAL EASTER SEAL CAMPAIGN
SEEKS $550,000 BY APRIL 10th
Because much has been heard
of poliomyelitis as a cause of crip-
pling of children,' it is often sel-
dom realized that there is a wide
range of afflictions, many of them
developing before birth, that can
have tragic effects on the lives of
their unfortunate victims. Yet to-
day many of these can be wholly
corrected, and the severity of oth-
ers can often be alleviated to let
the child grow up to a more nor-
mal life.
Only a generation or two ago
The Legislature
(Continued from Page 2)
the sick can be adequately cared
for. We urgently need more. in-
stitutions to properly take care of
the aged and the chronically ill.
We need more modern highways.
to reduce the alarming rate of
traffic accidents and death. In
our metropolitan areas we need
subways and expressways to re-
lieve traffic congestion. We need
an expansion of our recreational
facilities, such as beaches and
parks. When we have done these
things, we can think about a
shorter work week, we can think
about an earlier retiring age.
These are some of the broad
aims of our Legislators, which
will provide a more abundant life
and enable us to live together as
good neighbors.
the sight of a grown person handi-
capped by a club foot was not un-
common. Today, especially if a
doctor can begin treatment during
the first few weeks after its birth,
this deformity in a child can be
corrected completely. Similarly,
dislocated hips, also a congenital
condition, can be corrected, yet it
once accounted for many crippled
persons.
These, and many other handi-
capping deformities, are still just
about as common in births as they
were a hundred years ago, yet the
teamwork program of the Ontario
Society for Crippled Children,
working in collaboration with its
two hundred -odd Ontario service
club affiliates, makes it possible
to almost wipe out completely, con-
ditions that handicapped hundreds
of people. In addition, tremen-
dous strides have been made in
providing surgery, therapy, mech-
anical_ appliances and even train-
ing to provide self -dependence for
children afflicted by cerebral pal-
sy, osteomyelitis, perthes disease
and several other afflictions, which
only a few years ago doomed most
of their victims to helplessness.
Each year the service clubs in
Ontario hold their annual Easter
Seal campaign, the proceeds of
which make possible the never-
ending -program of treatment and
training carried on by the Society.
This year's campaign lasts un-
til April 10, and has an objective
of $550,000.
For a Big Show
Most of the new house buildings
since the war has, very wisely,
been on much bigger luts. giving•
the gardener an opportunity to
have real displays of some of the
gorgeous, showy flowers that the
plant breeders have brought to
perfection in recent years. For
such situations, very large bed:;,
solidly planted with petunias, zin-
nias, spider plants, cosmos or doz-
ens of other annuals, are most
suitable. Virtually all of these
things are easily grown either
from seed . directly sown outdoors
or transplanted from beds `special-
ly prepared and sown just as soon
as the weather has turned. -warm
and there is little danger of any
more frost.
Summer cottages, too, can have
these large massed beds of flow-
ers simply by planting a few pack-
ets of seeds in shallow flats and
later taking the same to the- cot-;
tage and transplanting them ihtd
permanent quarters.
There is nothing more striking
in the larger gardens, or along the
driveway leading to cottage or
home than these big beds of flow-
ers either in solid colors of one
variety, or of mixtures of various
flowers of -approximately the same
height. In these larger beds we
space fairly well to permit easy
and early cultivation and we' do
not try to rush the season. What
we are aiming at is a big splash
of color and a garden, which after
the.first few cultivations will prac-
tically look after itself. Solid beds
of zinnias, marigolds, petunias,
nasturtiums, are particularly ef-
fective and we can use either sin-
gle varieties or mixtures of about
the same mature height. This
massed planting of flowers, is also
a good idea to use in between new-
ly -planted shrubbery which will not
require full room for a year or
two.
Most From Vegeta'bies
In reoent years a lot of garden-
ers have learned that the only
way to get top quality in vege-
tables is to grow them at home.
The reason is simple. Most vege-
tables, and especially things like
peas, corn, beans, carrots and ev-
en spinach start to deteriorate
within a few hours after they are
picked. No Matter how carefully
we pack they soon start to lose
some of their garden freshness.
Because this 15 so, many people
eyen.with tiny gardens try to have
a smell plot for vegetables tucked
away somewhere. And it is litar-
ally amazing how many good meals
can be produced from a bit of land
only -a few yards each way. Of
course where the garden is a
small one, we won't try to grow
our winter's supply of potatoes, or
very much of the bulky things like
corn and squash, But even a 12 -
foot row of beans, spinach. car-
rots or beets 'will produce a lot.
Most of these things can be grown
in rows only a few inches apart
and we can get more out of the
plot by alterating rows of the big-
ger
igger things like carrots, beets and
beans with smaller things like let-
tuce, radish and onions. We can
also have two crops, one early and
one late, and we can spread out
the sowings so that something
fresh and new will always be com-
ing along.
