"Of all the names submitted. as being worthy of the award on an indi- vidual basis, his came in the most times" he stated. Expresses Appoval "I commend your decision to alter, in this instance, your cus- tom of recognizing a single in- dividual,' responded Mr. Ban- field. "I am sincerely thankful that you have seen fit to appre- ciate the assistance rendered by So many people. I can assure you that this scroll will be in- stalled prominently in your hos- pital as a permanent reminder to patients, staff and visitors of your interest." He paid tribute to the Lions for the example set by the club when the question of a hospital was first broached. "I am hand- ing an orchid to your organiza tion, not because of the work you did nor the. money you gave, but because of the example you set in willingly assuming your obli- gations to assist' a worthwhile community endeavour," he stat- ed. Positive Action 'I, too, am a member of a ser- vice club which, like yours, has as one of its tenets the stipula- tion that it shall be non politi: cal" Mr. Banfield went on. "But more important, another one is --to foster Canada's greatness.

Co. Night second, regardless of the party in power." "The main problem before our legislators today is: how to ach- ieve a welfare state without the loss of our personal liberty," he maintained. "That is the problem. But our present politicians' pre- scription for a solution is to sponsor the first part at the ex- pense of the second. They do this in self preservation, because they know that true, hard facts, that are not sugar coated, don't com- mand many votes. We have often ridiculed the German desire to be regimented, yet we are falling in- to the same abyss. Because the us the opiate that public welfare is paid by someone else. We have a good example in, our hospital. Both provincial and federal govts. aided in its construction. But now, because these two bod- ies are getting the bulk of our tax money, and too big a slice of the fruits of our labour, and be- cause real estate can no longer bear the burden of education, hospitalization and all, the other essential services, they are going to be expected to provide their share of the maintenance too. And this, I fear, in the very near future." Your Own Money The hospital board, he assert- ed, will continue to seek govt. support, because 'we have to play the way the rules read to- day." Operational expense, he pointed out, must always be a major problem where hospitals are: concerned. "But never lose sight of the fact that this is your money they are giving back to you, less a big percentage for doing so. We give them a shiny red apple and] promptly, lest théy chop the tree down. By the time it has been through various depart ments, we're lucky to get the core 'back. But don't complain too publicly, or you won't even get the seeds." Asks Continued Support He warned that, as govt. con- tributions increase, parliament will demand control of operation. "Let's throw out the childish be- lief that we can for nothing. That is the way we are now. We will improve only when we become a nation of in- dividuals sufficiently mature in our minds that we re-affirm our fellow man, that we recognize our responsibltiy to society; in short, when. we stop letting George do it. Then only will be we entitled to the full personal liberty about which we now speak so glibly," he declared. "Mr. Banfield saw in the de- velopment of service clubs one of "a few encouraging silver lin- ings." He urged that groups and Hast Who has a stake IN THE TELEPHONE 'When you think about.it, everybody has a stake, one way or another, in the tele- phone business. 28,000 Bell employees and their families... + 62,000 Bell shareholders and their families...

The bubbles in No. 1 are concealingly tiny; those of No. 7 rather revealingly large. Bub- bles up to number 3 are rated properly modest, while numbers above that are quite likely to produce censorship problems. Daring Jane Wyman used No. 4 in "The Lady Takes A Sailor."

CHUCKLE OF THE WEEK | Richard Todd, the young Brit- Ruth Roman owns a Siamese men than a "painted lady," says Betsy Drake, who represents the truth of her own statement. |Betsy, who has the well-wash- ed appearance of a healthy girl, recently so interested Cary Grant that he claimed her for his bride right off the set of "Pretty Baby" which she just completed. "If there's anything that mak- es a man lose interest, it's' too much fnakeup. It makes a woman look artificial," says Betsy. "That doesn't mean I'm against cosmetics, which when judicious- ly applied, actually enhance a woman's natural charms. But it's got to be used sensibly. : "I see whee some New York fashion experts have introduced what they call "the 1950 face," which seems to consist of heavy black lines around the eyes, and a cupid's-bow mouth with two shades of lipstick. Good heavens! A man will think twice now be- fore kissing lips all smeared with goo. How will he feel when he gets within kissing distance of two-tone jobs? My guess is that he'll reach for a cigarette in- stead." Betsy thinks the well-scrubbed look is positively the best one. "Keeping your face clean and nice," she declared, "makes you look so fresh and natural that men think they've discovered a new kind of woman. "And when a man thinks he's got a new kind of woman, he makes an old-fashioned decision. He marries her." Guest of the Week" If H. L.

The-an- swer to this question is defer- mined by either personal taste for neatness or the amount of time and strength the home- maker has to devote to ironing. Starched clothing and wearing apparel are usually: finished carefully while everyday things such as towels are done more casually. Table linens and other fine household linens, are almost universally ironed but bed linens may be ironed or the folded sheet pressed on top. Turkish towels, diapers and flanelette | sheets are generally believed to ironed, elasticized portions of garments, fabrics waterproofed with waxes, rubber or other coatings which melt easily.
