ET GETTING QUALITY BUTTER- In a recent address to the On- tario. Creamery Association Con- vention at Toronto, Dr. E. G. Hood, Ph. D., Chief, Dairy Re- search, Dominion Department of Agriculture, dealt with some of the factors bearing on butter quality in relation to everyday creamery practices, In Canada, a large tonnage of butter must be carried over annual- ly from the time of surplus pro- duction in summer to the time of "shortage of supply in winter. All of "this emphasizes the need for the manufacture of high quality butter. ~ To bring this about and main- tain the high quality of butter, Dr. Hood discussed at" length some of the most important factors the better the quality of the cream,. the more efficient the process-of pasteurization, the purer the wash . water, and the more sanitary care the equipnient receives from pas- teurizer to packer, the fewer will be the damaging effects of chem- ical and bacterial agencies. A bet- ter control of those .agencies will enhante both the flavour and keeping quality of all creamery butter. | -Fears Toronto's "Fierce" Traffic Missionary Prefers Lions in-Af- rican Jungle to City's Autos Lions in rican jungles are not as fierce as traffic on To- ronto streets, Rev. J. T. Tucker, United Church missionary .on fur- observed in' the Queen City last month, Dr, Tucker spent 28 yeats In mission work in: Africa. "The motor traffic here is fear. ful," he said. "The people here don't seem to notice it so much because they have developed a Heth sense that guides them in t. : " "We have lions in Africa--one came to a neighbor's place and killed a couple of oxen a- few , nights before we left there--but they are not so fierce as the mo- tor cars here," The Tucker fanily will return to Africa late this month. a uit Tr Je Haye you thought of using your rubber bathing cap. as a dusting cap?

Bankers Confident of Canada's Capacity to Meet War Needs BANK OF MONTREAL'S 122nd ANNUAL MEETING While emphasizing the gravity ef the present world: situation in its bearing on Canada, Huntly R. Drummond, president of the Bank of Montreal, at the 122nd annual meeting of. shareholders voiced his belief in 'the essential unify of the Canadian" people and confi- dence in their ability to weather the storms that might lie ahead. "We stand a united cquntry in our war effort," declared Mr. Drummond. "It vemains for us to bring the full strength of a uni- ted Canada to the work of. pro- seeuting the war to a successful conclusion while at the same time keeping our affairs so in hand that we may enter the re- adjustments of post-war condi- tions as free of inflation as pos- sible, with debts at the minimum possible and with morale un- impaired. \ "l am confident that just as we have entered as a unified Can. ada into the fiery ordeal of war, so we shall emerge, a nation one at heart but® more mature in thought and aspiration, ready to go forward as a member of the British Commonwealth of Nations to the great destiny which un- doubtedly awaits this country." Government Controls Among the subjects of public interest he discussed, Mr. Drum- mond referred to the government. al measures for the stabilization of supply and prices for "the more efficient prosecution of the While he recognized their necessity and pointed out that business institutions, including his bank, were co-operating ter the fullest - extent with ment, he made it heaves, thak, ythese. regulations were a restricting influence on business. As soon as the conditions which meade them necessary no. longer existed, they should, he said, be abolished. ' In the matter of taxation and public finance, the president urg- ed adherence, as far as was Jprae- ticable, to a "pay-as-you-go" pol- icy. "But it is in reducing expendi- ture in non-essentials," "Mr, Drum. mond declared, "that our Govern- ment can give a lead to Canad- inns. Sectional needs should no longer be given first place, nor should our railway problem, with its cost to the country. of a hund- red million dollars per annum, be left unsolved." clear to his the govern-: - mand for commercial Speaking at the meeting also "was Jackson Dodds, who present ed on behalf of himself and his Sellow general' manager, G..W. "Spinney, a financial statement which revealed new high figures in the history of the institution. ; Assets Over Billion Mark Touching upon the fact that for the first time in the bank's history the items .on the balance sheet amounted to over a thous. and million dollars, he said these figures were a measure of the bank's Yesponsibility to the pub- lic, and as the problems which this _ responsibility entailed ~ were so widely misunderstood, it was per- aps permissable to sav a few words on the subject. I" Nothing could be further from th truth, he proceeded, than the claim frequently made that the banks were reluctant to risk their money in loans to business, pre- ferring the supposedly casier course of holding securities. "Onr deposit liabilities do indeed re- quire us always to hold a due proportion of high grade secuv- ities as a supplementary reserve against them," he said. "But be- yond such requirements we would 'prefer in all circumstances Yo use our lendable funds in sound ad- vances to foster industry, trade" and commerce. Qur organization. with its nation-wide system of branches, has been develoved with «this purpose particularly in view. In consideration both of service to the. country and of profitable business te ourselves, we naturally wish. to see our facilities fulfill- ing their purpose to the fullest possible extent. "Unfortunately our readiness to lend to creditworthy borrowers "does not affect their disposition to apply for loans, for the loans de- pends upon the state of trade and the prospects of profitable use of -- borrowed money. The fact that the condition of the markets for many of Canada's- principal pro- ducts has in recent years prevent- ed anything like -a full recovery of business activity or of com- modity prices has therefore limit- ed the inducement to horrow, and" has confronted us with the proh- lem of finding other use for our funds. The possjbility of seeking a way out of this situation By re- laxing our standard of safety in lending money is of course pre. cluded by our obligations to de- positors," Ra ne Modern Etiquette 'BY ROBERTA LEE Q.
