We know very well we are in grave danger of another war, and we also know the only way to prevent that war will be through the success of the United Nations. The United Nations may be the only thing that will prevent the need tor another war memorial in this school." The speaker paid high tribute to Dr. Brock Chisholm, former Oakville boy, who heads the United Nations health organization: The work which he di- rected Mr. Edmison classed as "one of the greatest humanitarian efforts of all time." It was a pity, he thought, that so many people were ignorant of «the scope of the United Nations. "We have too many people in Canada who centre their thoughts and loyalties around one community or province", declared Mr. Edmison. "I like to think that there are young people growing up who will be truly Canadians with a Canadian viewpoint". He praised the French- Canadians and urged his young hearers to co-operate with them for a United Canada.

This fact holds equally true in painting. In order to secure a good paint job it is first necessary to secure a good ground coat or priming coat. Itis in this prime coat that the addition of Tim-ber- lox to paint is most highly recommended. The paint with Tim-ber-lox added has superior penetrating and sealing quailties which provides a reinforced foundation for suc- ceeding coats of paint.
