"I was delighted to see most dif ficult paralysis cases being given such effective care, and how, like us, the Canadian authorities are able to return scene to thelr homes instead of keeping them in hospi- tals, Instead of hopelessness over their condition, these men are being given new heart."

"How much are my savings veally WORTH?" The cash value of your savings is not what counts most. What is important is the amount of continwons income they would provide, if your wife and children were left without other means of support, In most cases ordinary savings can't provide enough! That is why you need life insurance . . . "Is it important WHICH life ine smrance I choose?" It is!

This means no end of dif- ficulty in the bleaching process dur. which the moss turns deathly pale, Technically, this is what happens after that: the dried and bleached white moss is ground and treated with water to dissolve the gelose; the fibrous material is filtered out and the remaining extract is de- hydrated and powdered, Now it's ready to stabilise ice cream because of its effect on ice- crystal formation, or chocolate milk because it holds the chocolate pow- der in perfect suspension, to be used as a thickener for colors used in textiles, to jell a blanc mange or slip into a beauty salon, shoe-shine parlor, barber shop-or a tavern, 'Know-How' There But No Material By JACK SULLIVAN Canadian Press Btaff Writer London, Oct, 24--(CP)~--There's no doubt that Britain can make it, but to an old-time prowler around the Manufacturer's Building at To- ronto's Canadian Neslonal Exhibi- tion, this country's governmente sponsored post-war exhibit is no better than the pre-war "ex." The "Britain can make it" show whips its Canadian counterpart in the matter of display. The pigasso~ like settings sometimes are bewild- ering to the visitor who hasn't a catalogue and more than one per~ son has been seen admiring the weird trappings, completely over looking the exhibit, The lighting effects give the im- pression of an extravagant scene from a Hollywood musical, Para- chute-silk ceiling-too-ceiling drapes line the corridors and odd-shaped plastic sections, In some way it's like banging through the O.N.E.s "House of Mirrors," There are no eager attendants to pass out literature, ready with pene cil and order-box to do business on the spot, because most of these "luxuries", which form an every- day part in a Canadian home, are marked in bold, black type: "avail- able later" or "avallable soon."
