He stated that the Oshawa Squadron is among the 18 top squadrons in the Dominion of Canada, and one of the top two in Ontario, He also mentioned summer camp which will be held at Trenton from August 2 to August 16. Flights will be given this year in either Daks or Ansons.

Suhoi claims "a man's only co- quetry is his tie--the most accurate index of his character and temper~ ament." 4,500 of Em Out of the bed of 4,500 ties he was packing, he reverently lifted an emblem of '"discreet unfaithfulness" done in navy blue with silvery white stripes. _. * Beside it was a grey platinum tie, which Suhol said would be chosen by a man to whom one would al- way speak respectfully and quietly. "Boisterous types always wear flowery brilliant ties," Suhoi winced. According to Suhoi, a man's stock of ties should never drop below 24 50 he may have ample choice for every occasion. Suhoi said he refused to enter in- to mass production of his ties which are fashioned by hand in the Itallan district of Udine, for he wanted to retain the "achet" of a cadets proceeded to enjoy them- selves in a variety of ways.

Bank Theft Totals Stay Undisclosed Toronto, May 20--(CP) -- Byron S. Vanstone, general man- ager of the Bank of Toronto, sald last night that it never has been the bank's policy to disclose amounts stolen in robberies. ~At Winnipeg yesterday, follow- ing the theft of an undisclosed sum from the Westminster Ave- pue branch of the Bank of Tor- onto, western superintendent William Kerr said that in future banks will not reveal amounts stolen in holdups because publica- tion of such information "only encourages 'other bandits to commit further crimes." Mr. Kerr said this decision was a "new policy (which) has come into effect within the last year." Sunday School To Mark Vacation MRS. CHAS.
