~E FOUR TH~ CANADIAN STAT~SMAN, BOWZvIANVILLE, ONTA1UO 39g Sales Organization Yor 1941 Victory Loan The sales organization for the 1941 Victory Loan, which hs to be launched on June 2, will be the largest ever brought together in Canada. Representatives of the Depart- 'ment of Finance, Bank of Canada, chartered banks, insurance coni Saniles and investment dealers nave been busy for some rnonths now laying the ground-work far the forthcoming boan and the or- ganization hs now virtually corn- plete. Thousands of key executives in financial and business circles and citizens from ail walks of life have been drafted to give leader- ship to the campaign. Two former ministers of finance are joint honorary chairmen of the National Committee, Rt. Hon. Sir Thomas White of Toronto anc Hon. C. A. Dunning, Ottawa. Chairman of this committee is Hon. J. L. Ihsley, Minster o! Fi- nance. G. W. Spinney, joint general manager of the Bank of Montreal hs vice-chairman of the National Committee and chairman of the National Executîve. G. E. Phipps, Toronto, is secretary. The provincial premiers are honorary chairmen of the vnrious provincial committees. The organization for launching: of the boan has been set up along the lies of the Victory Loan Or- ganizations o! the First Great War. Considerable importance la belng attached to local commit-' tees on Which success of the boan wlll depend to a very large ex- tent.

In fact, most of the key e men in the various bond firms in throughout the Dominion are now devoting ail their time to, the in- . terests of the boan. l, One of the most important sub- a- committees is the Dominion Pub- rs licity Committee headed by D. I. às McLeod of Toronto and for whicl, Dr Vernon Knowles of the Canadian r.Bankerd' Association is the gen- -_ cml consultant. The objective of the publicity in cofhiTttee is to make every Can- Ld adian Victory Loan conscious. te Plans have been made for press r. publicity, newspaper and maga- zine advertising, biilboard adver- ,e is ements, posters, pamphlets, use Dofthe radio, movies, parades and r.many other types of publicity. l.Some R.eiepts For i- Rainproof Whitewash il For the finishing spring touch Il there is nathing more effective or Il inexpensive than whitewash on Lbasements and boundaries, fences, sborders, garages, and other out- buildings in the lime o! vision. ,Persons are often deterred from is using whitewash on buildings out of doors through fear of spoilage 9by rain and there are many who 9do not care to use whitewash in- 1* doors because they consider it Ltmessy, one reason being that they -s do not really know how to mix the > ingredients properly. ri For several years, the Dominion Experiniental Farms; have recom- mended two recipes, ane for a erainproof, the other for a disinfec- tant whitewash, both originated by the Experimental Station at 9Sdott, Sask. The waterproof mwhitewash for outdoor buildings is made up in the following pr~o- portions: slaike 62 pounds of quick lime in 12 gallons of hot water, and add two pounds of sait and one pound of suiphate of zinc dis- solved i two gallon~s of water. To this add two gallons of skim- milk. An ounce of alurn improves this wash but it is. not essential. If the whitewash is required for metal surfaces subject to rust, thé sait should be omîtted. The recipe recommended for the disinfectant whitewash is as follows: Dissolve 50 pounds of lime in eight gallons of boiling water. To this add six gallons of hot water in which ten pounds of sait and one paund of alum have been dissolved. A can of lye is added to every 25 gallons of the tmixture. A pound of cernent to every three galions is gradually added and stirred thoroughly. The alum prevents thé lime from rub- bing off, the cernent makes a creamy mixture easy to appiy, and the lye hs added as a disinfectant. A quart of creosol disinfectant to every eight galions would serve the same purpose as the qyo..h if a pure white wash h desired the lye hs preferable. If a real snowy whiteness to whitwash is desired it can' be ob- tained by adding a very smallI quantity of washing blue. As the national war effort reaches its cimax, goveramont and industry alike have tumned ta tIse telephosie ta, get things done quickly. The urgent need for more long distance facilities lias promoted the use o! mothods o! obtaining additional voice chan- nels without erecting more wires. Several conversations are sent over one pair o! wiros at the saine tume, yet Uiey do not inter- fore with one another in the leasti Imagine twa trains running abreast on n double tmacli rail- road.

The devlopmoent of the carrier systeni illustmates the extensive and comtinuaus research carrlod out by the telephone lndustry in bohaif of btter telephone service at less cast. In times o! orner- gency, such as the presont, the value of this research is lncrensed many fold. RZecently, ncw carrier systeme have boom developed which can carry stili more conversations through anc pair of wlres. The ca-axial cable-a wire contained in a tube-can carry 480 conver- sations simultaneously. it la oly in very highly-populated sections of the country that these systems are reqpired. Howevor, the co- axial cable can also transmit the complex curronts which carry tevision images. Thus the trans- mission o! several conversations through onc wire bas led ta Iii- provements in the new art o! telo- vision, the uses of whlch open up immense possibilities ta the Imag- Ination.

O! course you will came back at me« with the statement that that hs hardiy faim because you know o! many fine charac- tors that are devoted ta many and diverse callings. Porfectly true.. but have you ever sat down ta seriously consider how circuni- scribed you have made your life, and in wvhat a comparatively smail circbe you rovoive?

Again, quite truc, but let me cxii your attention ta the fact that philanthropy hs not behind thase indescribabbe noises and utter- ances. Thoy are in Uic main paid for by monÉ who have somethfing ta dispose o! and are plannied ta attract and hobd their prospective customers.

"The moun- tain labored and braught forth a mouse"? Wdll, the running wild o! in- iumcmable standards is now be- fore us, if this h being up ta date and asserting onc's individuality how about trying something ehse? Into 'over3r human organization of necessity the standards gener- ated by the daily doinga o! hu- nanity make thernselves feit. It cannot be otherwhse.

T«n Common Lles By Grenvlo Kier Said Lincoln, "No inan has a good enough memory to be a suc- cessful liar." Lie 1. That you must be dis- honest to meet business competi- tion and achieve success. Lie 2. That happiness depends upon having great materlal pos- Ssessions. Lie 3. That xnoney wl buy pence o! mind. Lie 4. That you wi]1 fare best by shirking and loafing. Lie 5.

That sellishneas te a necessary trait o! chamacter. The vital step ta Uic apprehen- sion o! truth la ta desire it sincee- ly and earnestly. To make truth wholly yours, you must bath un- derstand it and practically apply it. You will better appreclate the value o! importance of truth when you seriausly consider that éron- eous thinking is the chie! cause o! ail tic sin, the disaster,. niafor- tune, sickness and failume in the world. Truth to be properly grasped must be studied for truth's sake. Truth ta be o! real significance ta you must be something more than thcory; it must be a vital, persan- al, demanstrated power i your daily 11f c. There hs nothing that wlf bring ta you so much satisfaction and permanent benefit as a profound study o! truth. It transcenda all majerial, possessions, since it is etemnal. The habit o! inflexible integrity con! crs rnany personal advan- tages. It gives a sense of self- confidence and mndependenco, which make, anc equal ta every circumstance. Truth and duty have been watchwords o! the world's, groat- est men; sustaining themn through times o! evil and good report. Whcn men knaw that your word hs as good as your bond, and that nathing can swerve you fmom the chosen path of duty, you have anc o! the most* valuabie of persanal assets. The highcst honors are paid ta men o! sterling pmincipie, and 50 it will always be since God mules. Integrity is not merely honcsty o! action but honesty o! intention. It hs an-innate quality o!

Canadian Q&ýrden Service. SUR1 Plenty of Timo Spring came mather early in many parts o! Canada this year, but this does not men that it hs too late ta plant an excellent gar- den. As a mâater af fact experi- onced gardoners point that far more people err on Uic early planting aide than vice versa. There hs littie real growth for the majority of flowers and vege-- tables beforo soil and air reaily warin up. With mast things it hs better ta plant late than to oarly. 0f course there are some ex- ceptions. Thero should be no de- lay in getting such things into -the ground. Amaong thc carlioat vege, tables will be peas, splnach, let- tuée and radlsh. he safest'mule with flowers h ta plant fimat those klnds that would naturally seed themselves i the eader's partic- ular district. Among such "self sceders'l are rnany o! the poppies, Uic calendula, alyssurn, pansies and other very hardy types. Grass hs also a plant that makes its bost growth in the cool weather, and new lawns or lawn epair womk shouid be started just as soan as soul h f it ta worlL safely. The way ta tell If this marnent has arrived is ta observe soil texture, if mud- dy and inclined ta stick ta shovel ar shoes it hs not dry enough. Soul fit for gardening h maist but nat sticky. It will crunible when compressed in the hand, flot pack inta a tight bail. Importance of Cltlvatlon One can -hardly over-emphasize the importance o! early cultiva- tion. A little digging in the gar- den now is worth a whoie burst af fcverh energy later an. At thils time when the sil hs moist it is a simple matter ta get out twltch and other weods, ta stir the ground deeply. By doing sa we help push growth o! vegetabida and flowers and conserve mois- tial job 8 le! t for a fow weeks then weeds have developed tough- or moots and are hard te remove and much' valuable mousture hi HEREPS WHY: Fbo-glaze Paint la anade witli a speciaily treated inseed ail which aaes it flow evenly and smoothly andleave no btwsk marks. brush marks are really hundreds af tiny grooves in a paint film.
