We confess a sneaking respect • for one resourceful gentleman ‘ who fooled the Commies—albeit by morally dubious means. Seems he would load his hollow aluminum artificial leg with can dy, coffee and nylons in West Berlin, then whisk over the bor der into East Berlin in his motorized wheel chair. He made . a neat profit — until the border gendarmes ultimately caught up with him. More and more businesses— - from artificial limbs to shipbuild ing — similarly find aluminum a valuable aid to sales and pro- ' fits. Further major expansion of Alcan’s smelters in both Quebec and B.C. is aimed to satisfy the - continued increasing demand for the light metal. ALUMINUM CAMPANY OF , CANADA, LTD. (ALCAN).
