If all 'our at. had been as industriously minded we would not be alarmed by the unemployment situation to-day, nor would it have been necessary to place on the statutes unemployment insurance.' Because we consider you have poy well earned more leisure and rest than you have enjoyed in the past, we: feel it a privilege as well as a duty to present you with these tokens of our friendship and esteem and sin-: cerely hope you will be spared many more years to enjoy them. We ask you to accept this radio presented by your gons Harold and Rupert and this couch presented by relatives an friends believing them to be the most appropriate gifts.
