The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1951-10-18, Page 11THE TIMES-AOVOCATE, EXETER, ONTARIO, THURSDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 18, 19S1 Page II w We’ve heard from Denmark that a cow over there had to have its leg: amputated, but gets along quite nicely now on a new one made of aluminum. Whether or not this artificial leg was made of Canadian alu­ minum, we wouldn’t know. Perhaps it was, because we do produce one quarter of the world’s supply. That’s quite 4 big thing for Canada. It means jobs for Canadians, and money from abroad to pay for Cana­ dian imports. Right now we are hard at work on extension projects in Quebec and British Columbia; for we intend to go on playing our part in help­ ing Canada grow. Aluminum Company of Canada, Ltd.
