Humphrey Mitchell, Canadian minister of labor, left, president of the recent conference of the International Labor Organization in Mont- real, and Edward Phelan, director-general of the International Labor Office, authenticate with' their signatures the sever international instru- ments adopted by the conferente.

Peder Holt, minister of recon- struction, said that by the end of this year about 80 per cent of the population of Finnmark will have returned and almost 100 per cent of the population of North Troms, which meant jobs and houses would have been found for 65,000. He said 1,500 provisional homes had been built last year, against a program of 1,000, and this year it was hoped to complete 3,400. Quays, warehouses and other buildings also had to be rebuilt, Apart from Finnmark and North Troms, the Norwegian government planned to build 13,000 new homes and 2,000 damaged ones during 1946.

New Soapless VEL Cleans Without Suds by Frances Thompson noted homemaking authority Most women have always looked to the suds in soap for its cleaning power. Now, however, a new and revo- lutionary soapless cleaner has been discovered which cleans without depending upon suds. At the cost of over one million dollars soapless VEL has been perfected. NO SUDS REQUIRED Soapless VEL makes plenty of suds, the suds are Jnhecesuty to the cleaning action. In fact VE! cleaning power continues long after the suds dissolve. Another notice- able difference from soap is in the action of VEL on water. Soap combines with 'water to make a cloudy milky-white solution. When VEL suds vk io the water is left dis as clear as soft water in a rain barrel. VEL makes the water act soft, too.
