APRIL Business Meeting, Election of Officer Fix Up the Bathroom Little boys in the olden days who didn't like to wash their hands before appearing at the table may have been affected by the unbeautiful, barren bathrooms and tin wash basins that marked the era. Certainly, in this day of decorative bathrooms that are given as much consideration as any room in the house, anyone would want to linger as long as possible and hand-washing should become a joy. A modern bathroom may be installed your home with funds obtained from any Canadian Bank under the terms of the Home Improvement Plan at a low rate of interest. 1 the condensed Ads c page 5| One of Canada's best know-n musicians is seen here at Canada's leading hotel, the Royal York, in downtown Toronto. He is Rex Battle, leader of the Royal York Hotel concert orchestra, which plays daily at the hotel and is heard on regular coast-to-coast radio broadcasts. The picture of Mr. Battle is from a portrait recently done by Allan Barr, | and shows the maestro concentrating on a difficult piano passage. At the Royal York Hotel, which is the largest hostelry in the British Empire, Rex Battle's orchestra is a fajorite among the guests, who gatnerTn large numbers at his concerts or tune him in on the individual radios in bedrooms throughout the hotel. The orchestra has spread its fame by playing for conventions that gather at the hotel from all over the continent. The Royal York's fine facilities for this type of hotel trade attracted 75 conventions, totalling 6,000 delegates, up to the middle of March, while 45 others are scheduled to bring 11.000 delegates to the hotel from all over the country later the year.
