REGIMES TOPPLE The Moslem rébellion against France began in November, 1954, and rebel strength reached a peak in 1957-58. Government after government toppled in Paris on the Algerian issue. A climax in chaos came May 13, 1958, after Pierre Pflimlin became France's 24th premier since the Second World War.

An oddity of the situation is that fewer than 500,000 of the European Algerians -- although fanatically attached to the French connection--are French in origin.

Or worn-out weather stripping. Or a gnawing band of termites. Whatever it was, plugging a leak properly can be expensive--and, of course, the longer it's left, the more costly a repair becomes. This goes for peeling paint, crumbling concrete, and missing mortar too. Yes, keeping a house in shape sometimes costs a lot of money, and occasionally it may cost more than you have on hand. What then? The answer may be a Scotiabank Home Improvement Loan... money you can borrow at lowinterest for repairs... or for extra bedrooms, a garage, a carport, modern heating, new and up-to-date plumbing--things that maintain or improve your home as an invest- ment.
