"And what is so rare as a day in " June? Then, if ever, come perfect 'days; Then Heaven tries earth if it be in tune And over it softly her warm ear lays;' Whether we look or whether we listen, We hear life murmur and see it glisten." —From "The Vision of Sir Launfal" by James Russell Lowell (1819.9]) Canada's Vulnerable Position. BECAUSE OF HER DEPENDENCE on ex- port trade for 24 per cent of her national in- ,Glome, Canada is particularly - vulnerable in her world trade position. ,But broadening our export front and open- ing ever wider the doors of immigration may' prove our salvation in solving our trade and monetary problems. That is the way J. S. Duncan, president of Massey -Harris Co., Limited, and chairman of the:dollar-sterling trade board, sees it: And he ' not be far wrong. mal ng "It is necessary for us to carry our pro.. ducts to a wider group of countries," he said, in addressing a dinner in honour of the foreign exhibitors at the Internatioanl Trade Fair in Toronto Tuesday miming. "Almost of equal importance, we should open wider the doors of immigration, welcom- ing,to Canada worthy, self-reliant immigrants in ever greater numbers, so as to build ua our national strength and to provide a larger consumers' market at home." Even if we maintain our current rate of immigration, he added, our population Will have exceeded 17,000,000 in 1961, 23,000,000 in 1975 and 37,000,000 in 1999. Mr. Duncan warned that people should ae be fearful that a rapid growth in population will lower our living standards. He pointed out that today, in terms of prewarpurchasing power, our real national income per capita is 71 per cent higher than in the boom period . of 1926-1930. As for Canadian farmers, he told the etitive and technical ex- hibitors that their .comp position . never has been stronger than it is to -day. Providing their traditional overseas markets can be kept open, their future has never been more secure. Mr. Duncan also paid tribute, to organized labor in this country. "Of significance 'to Canada's' future," he said, "has been the courageous and increasingly successful efforts of our major groups of or- ganized labor in combating destructive com- munistic influences and infiltrations in their respective organizations." The Correct:Way PERHAPS YOU ARE one of those people who are uncertain regarding the correct pro- cedure when a toast to the King is proposed. Our observation indicates that uniformity is sadly lacking in this country. "Echoes," the official magazine of Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire, explains how it should be done: • There is' a specific procedure prescribed for the Armed Forces when a Toast to his Majesty is proposed, and, while various civilian organizations may have their own customs for this occasion, there is a definite formality to be observed by IODE members, as civilians, onoccasions within the Order, when a Toast to the King is correct. The Chairman rises, bring the audience to attention; and asks them to rise and drink a toast to His Majesty. At this, the audience rises and the chairman says "Ladies and Gentlemen, the King." Then, and only then, TolToast The King is the glass lifted from the table, held at eye level for a moment, then one sip of liquid ' is taken and the two words, "The King" repeat- ed before the glass is replaced an the table. No other procedure is correct for a civilian pledging the health of• His Majesty. Glasses are never clinked. Guests must not smoke befere the Toast has been proposed. It is not correct to play or sing athe National Anthem when a Toast to His Ma- jesty is proposed. Remember—If your brakes won't work, it's much easier to tell to a mechanic than to a traffic court judge. THOUGHT FOR.

Fitzsimons and Son have paid out more than $1,700 for animals They're alike in many ways— budgets and rivers. Sometimes they're full and run smoothly; at other times they just dry up. Very often—es with rivers—it's a seasonal problem. Many Bank of Montreal cust- omers have come across it. Some have found that Christmas ex- penses make January a "thin month." Others have experienc- ed a shortage of ready cash after paying insurance premiums or mortgage interest, And they've worked out a solution along con- servation lines. This is the way they dam the river. They open a "special pur- poses" account.
