Jim had four rambunctious boys and only one room for them to sleep in. Now, he needed to turn the TV room into another bedroom. His first move was to the Commerce. Where he asked for a Bankplan loan. We sat down with Jim and found out how much furniture, rugs, and re-decorating the room would cost. Then we set up a monthly repayment plan that his budget could afford. This kind of planned personal service is why we call it a Bankplan loan. CANADIAN IMPERIAL BANK OF COMMERCE More ofus do nikift for you at the Commerce.

To join in the honor conferred on the warden his five children were in attendance, - Heather, Valerie, Ruth, Bonnie and Billy. Mr. McPhail proudly introduced them, also his father, Hector McPhail and Mrs. McPhail, Mit- chell, and Mrs. McPhail's mother, Mrs. Leslie Moore of Mitchell. The head table guests were piped into the banquet hall by Nelson Howe of Cromarty, in his Scottish regalia, and drummer Walter Dinsdale, MP for the riding of Brandon, Manitoba, and a close friend of the late William McPhail; brother of the warden, who lost his life with the RCAF overseas, was the guest speaker. He was minister of northern affairs when the Conservative government was in power and the theme of his address was The True North, Strong and Free. He described the four basic regions of Canada, - the Maritimes, Quebec, Ontario and the western provinces and stated that Canada is often spoken of as the unknown country. He spoke of the 100 years of Canada's development, drawing attention to the fact that the north- ern part, that is the country north of the 60th parallel, still only has 40,000 inhabitants, despite its land area of some three and one-half million square miles. Most of it is still unexplored, he told the gathering. Yet in the past ten years there have been great advances there in natural resources, gas, oil and minerals.

The ad said: "You can all return to church on these lovely autumn evenings. Our doors are open and we welcome all. Soames (chief character in The Forsyte Saga) we think, would approve."

We're re- peating the series some time next year -- on Sunday after- noons. Tourism has also been expan- ded, referring to the Gold Rush Festival held at Dawson City, in which they had been assisted by Tom Patterson of Stratford. This festival is now an annual attrac- tion for tourists in the north, said the speaker, urging any who had a spirit of adventure and could do so, to renew their pioneer spirit by travelling north to see this festival for themselves.

Reeve Wilbert Her- man, Ellice township, introduc- ed head table guests, among whom was Mayor James Neilson of Stratford, who welcomed the banquet to the city.

Mr. and Mrs. Harry Cole of DORIS CLARK An authority on old age says that 95 per cent of elderly people are "overplaced." By this she means that they are consigned to nursing homes or hospitals where everything is done for them, when in many cases they would be better off at home. In their own surroundings, they still have challenges which preserve many aspects of inde- pendence, like preparing their own meals, keeping things clean, or helping with the dishes. Frequently a move is pre- cipitated by a trip the family is planning. Grampa is deposited in a spot where no one will have to Worry about him. All too often when the trip is over, no move is made to bring him home; and he gradually loses initiative, self- respect, and any urge to keep going. According to one industria- list, the average life of their pensioned-off employees is often appallingly brief after re- tirement. There's not much to be said for enforced idleness. DEAR DORIS - My mother is making life awful for me and my sister because she simply won't speak to us. This has gone on for a week. It start .d when my youngest sister ra "her with the story that I hit he I didn't hit her, but my mother won't believe that. All I did was take the broom away from her so that she would stop hitting us. The only one who talks to us is Dad. My sister and I cleaned the upstairs and the rec. room and she didn't say a thing. - IN THE DOGHOUSE DEAR DO GHOUSE - I'm sorry. Here we are harping on the great importance of communicating, and your mother chooses to get revenge by keeping silence. London visited on Saturday with Mr. and Mrs. Freeman Horne. Mr. and Mrs. Phil Bern visited on Saturday evening with Mr. and Mrs. Bob Maners of Thames Road. Miss Janet Hern of London spent the week end with Mr. and Mrs. Phil Hern and boys.

Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Walters and Danny and Miss Wendy Ryck- man of Exeter visited on Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Howard Day- man and family of Kippen. • She forgets that part of her job is to give love and encourage- ment to her older girls. Pick your time and talk seri- ously to Dad. Really unload, so that he knows how badly you feel. If he has an ounce of fairness in him he'll go to bat for you. DEAR DORIS - I'm a widow with one teen- ager at home. I have arthritis and cannot go out to work, so I hope you can give me an idea about something I might do at home to supplement my income - something that doesn't call for more than a Grade 5 education, as I was the oldest of 10 children and left school early. - STILL AMBITIOUS DEAR AMBITIOUS - Would there be a green thumb on those arthritic hands - and maybe a sunny window or two in the house? You can make more than pin money by developing seedlings or raising bulbs. One woman started a good catering business with a batch of high-class homemade pickles. Another had more of a golden touch - aneraised canaries and goldfish for sale. You can set your own pace when you operate at home, and rest when you need to. I'm send ing you my leaflet, "part Time Work at Home or in Community," which might have an idea for you. (Available to readers for 10 cents and a stamped, self- addressed envelope.) DEAR DORIS - My husband is always yel- ling at me. I work part-time and he asks me what I do with my money. I buy things for the house! I also cook and clean the house, do the washing, and he still cries: "What did you do today?" When he is off for a week- end I ask him what did he do, and he says: "I work hard all week!" -WIFE • DEAR WIFE - Some perverse people strike out in criticism and suspicion at the person they are supposed to care the most about. Usually I try to point out that such people need love and a build-up; but there are times when the jarring effect of some Indignant back talk brings home the realization that they are just not getting away with it. I'd suggest you try it.
