There are hints for making the right appearance during competi- Ire in a changing and uncertain tivarld••• nearly five million Canadians face the future with greater confidence because Life Insurance serves them these four ways! 1. Each year, life insurance pro. vies many thousc-cids of Cana- dians with money to meet some of their most important needs. Last year, life insurance com- panies paid out $240 million in benefits to Canadians. 2. Today, more than ever, Canadians rely on life insurance as the easiest, surest way to provide financial security for themselves and their families. A record total of almost $2 billion in new life insurance was pur- chased by Canadians in 1951.. This brings the value of life in- surance owned by the nation's policyholders to another new record sum of $17 billion. 3. Canadian communities from coast to coast continue to pro- gress — thanks in part to the investment of life insurance dollars. Last year, more than $225 million were invested by life insurance companies, on behalf of their policyholders, in securities that helped to finance the building of new schools, homes, highways and other aids to better living for all Canadians. 4. Life insurance dollars help to check inflation! One of the most powerful forces at work to protect the value of your dollars is the sum of money entrusted to life insurance com- panies by their policyholders. This "money for the future" helps check inflation and thus strengthens Canada's economy — at a time when our country must be strong in every way.

He has made no attempt to crawl under the Iron Curtain. In- Overseas. In a memorable scene in this gor- geously caparisoned novel which romps across the .reign of Suleiman the Magnificent, a Mohammedan slave dealer describes young Michael (The Wanderer of the title) as hav- ing a singular gift for landing on his feet like a cat, no matter what the circumstances, And it is an apt phrase, for certainly Michael (or el- Hakim-his Arabic anagram, meaning doctor) bears a charmed life. Heads roll, bronze cannon, bom- bard, harem favorites connive, wily Levantines plot, political advisers topple, pirates swarm, lethal potions are compounded and imbibed, fort- resses are seized and lost, prodigious trials of strength and agility galvan- ize scenes of personal combat, and equally prodigious feats of endur- ance grace encounters, of love-but through it all Michael, hardy, earnest and perhaps a little naive, remains very much alive, whether buffeted as a slave or drenched in jewels by a grateful Sultan. One might,as well try to summar- ize the intricate action and endless invention of Seheherazade as to en- umerate the successive developments in this novel, Algiers, -Istanbul, Vien- na, Buda, and Bagdad come glowing- ly to life-gaudy, lush, tawdry deprav- ed. And the 16th century spins like a dervish as the followers of the Cross and the Crescent juggle the balance of power in Europe and the Near East. For more like The Egyptian in that it follows a more cohesive pat- tern than The Adventurer, this novel has given Waltari all the scope he needs -to make his talents sing like the scimitars of his_ murderous jan- issaries. Mika Waltari, long famous in his native Finland and in Europe, ale, ready has a rare accomplishment to his credit in the U.S., he has pub- lished only two novels here and both of them have been smash best sell- ers. The Wanderers must surely add luster to this record. WIT HALL MY HEART by Margaret Campbell Barnes The young, convent-bred Princess of Portugal who came to Restoration England attended by a vigilant army of ladies-in-waiting, must have seem- ed to many of her contemporaries a rather pathetic figure; a fragile pawn in a sophisticated game of statesman- ship. For to be the bride of a king whose father had been sent to the scaffold by his own subjects—a king moreover, who was a heretic and whose success with women was a by- word—was a frightening venture offering only slender chance of hap- piness. But Catherine of Braganza was a woman of passionate integrity, and from the moment she set eyes on darkly handsome Charles at Ports- mouth she loved him utterly. To be the wife of such a man was no bed of roses. His flagrant infidelities en- raged and anguished her; but Cath- erine gradually learned how to hold her own with dignity and courage even when Challenged by the ensnar- ing beauty and ruthless ambition of women like Lady Castlemaine. She learned too, to live with discretion in an age of religious intolerance, and it was when her whole future was overshadowed by the fanatical accus- ations of that archliar Titus Oates Voted Ontario's Bed' 1 4: GHLIGHTS. from 'the" • HIGH SCHOOL. that sheefound a defender in the man she loved and came to realize how secure, after all, were the fctunda- tions of her ill-assorted marriage. MOSES by Sholem Asch This magnificent novel sets an ap- propriate keystone in the career of Sholem Asch. Delving deep into roots held in common by much of the world today; it is• a noble story, fused with the vigor, insight, and imagination of a writer who has devoted years to, its re-creation. We see Moses first as a young prince of Pharaoh's court, rebelling under palace discipline, aware of ..he legends concerning his birth, and deeply curious about the Hebrew people who suffer the bitter yoke of slavery. When he breaks away to visit them, and finds his own family, he makes the fateful decision to cast his lot with Israel. In the land of the Midianites, con- vinced that his exile will be lifelong Moses 'marries and tends the flock of his father-in-law, Jethro. Yet his thoughts are never far from the cap- lye tribes in Egypt, and one day in the desert, God speaks to him, out of a bush that' burns but is not con- sumed, and commands him to deliver Israel from the land of the Egypt- ians. We watch „Moses, fearful ' of his mission but"'esnieSelvient to God'S will, growing in strength and wisdom as he is confronted with one crucial test after another. First comes the titanic struggle against Pharaoh, the gods of Egypt against the one God, and the triumphal escape through the waters of the Red Sea. In the desert, by God's help, he saves the children of Israel from hunger and thirst mid brings them to the foot of Sinai, where they hear and accept Godei, covenant. But while Moses leaves them to ascend the mount and is gone for forty days, they erect a golden calf to worship, and Moses brings the wrath of God upon ;hem. In the time of their punishment (the forty years of wandering that follow) he is their stalwart leader—in the privations of the desert and the wars wih the idolaters. In his portrait of Moses, Sholem Asch shows us human grandeur, against a great tapestry of superbly conceived oriental color and move- ment. The scene in which Israel bows before God's commandments and the people answer together, "All 'that the Lord hath spoken we will do," Is enormously powerful. Balaam is a gusty character, portrayed with sub- tle humor, and his colloquy with his long-suffering ass is a little master- piece. The Midianite women, who try to conquer the children of Israel by teaching them to sin, provide a richly colorful episode. tut in this work of sustained inspiration every chapter is impressive. Mr, Asch has met the challenge of Moses with a scope and authority worthy of that sublime fig- ure, central Press Catidian Marlene • Stewart, Canedal petite golf sensation, has added a new feather to her plaid golfing cap by topping poll of Ontario sportswriters and spertscasters to' become the provinee's outstanding athlete of 1951.
