Gea. Varcae picked some Stop early drop ... Spray with PA R MON E For fewer windfalls, better fruit, longer picking season, spray trees with PAR. MONE, the C-I.L hormone concentrate. PARMONE prevents or greatly reduces pre-harvest drop of apples and pears- in some cases, as much as 85%. Fruit cings longer and more firmly to the trees, improves ini colour, quaiity and size. Fruit Resaches Full Maturiîy PARMONE allows fruit to reacli ful maturity, though it does not deiay nor- mai ripening processes.. 1-ence, fruit should be picked at the proper stage of mnaturity. Insure beffer fruit by spraying thoroughly with PARMONE immediately dropping begilis. PARMONE is effective, cosus littie. One 4-ounce boulie makes 100 gallons of spray, and one spraying is usually suffic. lent. Ask you.r dealer for PARMONE. 'PNW (~ATAflTA%?

In thîs period the Bureau estab. lshed 917 dlaims ta pension, th( mai ority af which had been giver Up as loat cases. Mare than 81 per cent of the claimants were fia members af the Legian and avail. ed themselves ai this free service These disability pensioners wil. also be entitled ta free medica' treatment and hospitalization foi the rest oi their lîves. Ex-servicemen and women arE urged by the Legion ta lose nc time in checking up an any tYPE af minor ilînesses they had dur. ing service, which were flot ser. tous enaugh for them ta be ad- mitted ta hospital; yet, aiten prove ta be symptams af a disease which later manifests itseli, be- coming chronic and disabling. Disability pensioners, when be- ing examined are advised they should always give the iullest in- formation ta the examiner re- garding any physical impairment or history ai iliness, even if they think this is flot related to their pensionable condition. Complaints are recorded and aiten prove the strangest evidence later when an obscure dîsease is diagnosed, which may be attrlbuted ta ser- vice. The Legion reminds pensianers of the bitter lessons ai the past when thousands af World War I veterans claimed they had disab- ling conditions, but found the greatest obstacle ta recognition was that phrase "lie made fia complaint.'l 6 1 a- (Contlnued from Page Three) Came ai this so-called Marshal d, plan for "continental aid"l ta Eur. a1p e. If, as and when such a plar daes materialize, then, ahd per. haps nat until then, willif be use. )f fuI ta falk ai an equivalent "HydE e- Park" agreement for Canada. But there is another phase ai ethe "dollar crisis" which is closer y ta hame and which, fhough help- ed, may be by no means salved Sby the Marshall plan. e I refer fa the increasing unbal- ance ln aur awn trade position -wxth United States-an unbalance apart altagether irom aur Eura- pean cammitments; part from au. inability ta exchange sterling an< jother credits for bard U.S. dollars. When he was here recently, 1President Truman boasted praud- Sly fhat trade between Canada anc t United States 'is far greater than .that ai any othei' fwa nations on earth." What he falled ta mention was this: that there is a dangerously widening gap between aur cross- border frade. Economie Dlsparity Tllus: sixty years aga we sold 44 per cent ai aur exports ta the United States and bought 44 per cent ai aur imports from thal country. Last year, we sold Un- ited States only 39 per cent ai aur exparts but bought fram fhem 75 per cent ai aur foreign supplies. Right now this "gap" has rea- ched irightening proportions. For the first four months ai this year aur American purchases cost us $623 millions. Our exparts fa that country were only $327. That leit a "gap" ai nearly $300 mil- lions. The carrespanding gap a year aga was anby $135 millions. In the four pre-war years (1935- 39) if was only $32 millions. We are like a circus rider wha finds bis fwo horses riding off ln diff- erent directions. Unless we can bring them together again, we are due for a fail. If the United States daes under- take ta underwrite European re- cavery ta the tune af say, $5 bib- lions a.- year for the next two years, there is no doubt that rnany ai these dollars will find their waiy ta Canada. But such a pragram may neith- er be adequate nor in lime ta avoid mare drastic action by Can- ada in relation fa aur awn dollar :Ver w <~ 4 ~~'0 BI1G-C AR,.QUALITY YOU'LL LIKE 7MAI 810-CAR PERFORMANCE I What fun te drive a new Chevrolet.

BOWMANVILLIE, OlqTAitro 1 u in Economlc Unity- Overaîl, if seems inevitable that the utimafe solution lies in great- er economic unity rather fhan greater restrictions as befween these f wo cauntries. If Geneva fails ta achieve fhis, fhen we may have ta try a mare direct ap- proach. We nmry have fa ask dir- ectly ai the United States wbat, in efýect, that country is itseli ask- ing ai Europe: namely: a common approach, sa that, ta quote Gen- eral Marshall: "the manufactur- ers and the farmers tbroughout wîde areas must ha able and will- ing ta exchange their products for currencies the continuing value ai wbich la nat apan ta question." This is t he besson ai the "dollar criais." If is the lesson ai Geneva. If la a lesson which I have fia doubt we in Canada are wiliing1 and eager ta iearn and put into1 practice.
