Miss K, I. “Katie” Scott has

But she won't tell much of

Most of Miss Scott’s 40 years
at the switchboard has been on
night duty. She began in April
1911 when the office was in the
store owned by her late father
George Scott.
At that time the operator had

Scott was on duty at the time
and sat through it while firemen
battled the blaze. “A couple of
days later it poured rain and the
water coming through the roof

said. Firemen tramping over the
roof ruined it.
Emergency Aid
Calls for doctors at all hours
for all situations, fire calls and
other emergency pleas have been
handled by Miss Scott, she ad

won’t say a word about them.

breaks down the shocks of hard work and distributes them over
the entire frame . . . which offers you extra strength without bulki
ness, without sacrificing clearance. They’re the only plows with

century for light draft, long life, and all-around top-notch field
performance.

She’ll soon be back — her cheque cashed,
her deposit made, her bank book written up.
Mrs. Johnson’s is one of the 3,2Q0,000 new
bank accounts opened during the past ten
years. Like most people nowadays, she
relies on her bank to safeguard her money;
she expects her bank book to show how
she stands; she finds bank cheques
convenient to pay larger bills.
The chartered banks appreciate — and
depend on — the confidence of depositors
like Mrs. Johnson. For the money which
Canadians keep in 8,000,000 bank accounts
provides the basis for bank lending.
Safeguarding these funds is the banker’s
first concern.

When the ‘‘Imperial Leduc” steamed into
Sarnia the other day she made important
news for all Canadians.
The ship herself was news—the world’s
largest lake tanker on her maiden voyage.
Even greater news was her cargo—the first
shipment of Alberta oil into the
Ontario market.
This new market for western crude will
increase Canada’s oil production by almost
■ a half. It means a further saving in foreign
exchange; 40 million dollars available if
needed for other purposes. It gives the
Prairies a bigger market in the east and,
consequently, the east a bigger market in the
Prairies. Above all, it makes Canada surer
of oil supplies in peace or war.
Arrival of the “Imperial Leduc” at Sarnia
began a new chapter in the story of Canada’s
economic development—a nation more
prosperous and more secure.
