Oh SISTERS ALL A yi By-Jean Love Galloway 45 3 One of the best ways to feel the pulse of a big city, is to drop in on the floor of its STOCK EXCHANGE. You know, buildings like people, have faces. And of all the buildings on Bay. Street in Tor- onto, perhaps the plain stone face of the Stock Exchange is the most placid of them all. Yet, inside, the excitement is as keen, the move ment as swift as a roller rink jammed to the rails . . . The Toronto Exchange is second in world volume only to New York. In recent years with additional mining and oil development, the Toronto Ex- change frequently passes Wall Street in the number of shares trad- ed in a day. On the second floor of the Exchange] a gallery is reserved for the general public. From here, you can watch the New York and "Toronto ticker tapes change as the actual sales are made on the floor. There look to be about 200 brokers @nd their agents milling about the floor, shouting, scurrying, placing their bids and selling their stock.

Only difference be- tween the country auction and the exchange is that instead of one auctioneer, each broker or agent is his own auctioneer. @® When illness strikes, your first thought is to strike back--but guick. So, when your doctor writes a prescription, bring it directly to this pharmacy. We are organized to make. the most of minutes. In an emergency, we'll call for prescriptions and deliver the medicines. Your val- ued patronage is always sincerely appreciated. When people visit a city, or even when they live in one, they go the stores, the museums, the shows.

You can take it in without even the price of an admission ticket. RUSSELL DRUG CO. PHONE 47 Watching ticker tape in the Exchange yesterday, it annoyed us no end that the eysight could not quite make out how Abitibi and MacLeod were behaving. So we phoned Canada's noted oculist, Dr. Clarence Hill, and managed to pick up an appoint- ment from a last minute cancel- lation. Funny thing about "eye" men. When you--go to see the tops, you expect white coats, plastic furnishings, beautiful suites of offices. Yet how often in this world we find the real people working in ordinary quarters with skimp, faded rugs and an old solid mahogany desk '| which hasn't been moved in 20 years. Perhaps that's because there's no need to create an im- pression. People fight to get in, because they have confidence in the man, or the woman. Much and all as we love the brilliant modern white coat, there's something quiet and re- assuring, something strong and firm .and sound about trusting your health to somebody who. doesn't need to create an im- pression. Confidence, after all, is not built upon plastic facings; it is built on the rock or human skili.
