"We heeded the space In the basement for winter games such as floor hockey and, seeing that supervision was difficult with tfhe old arrangement anyway, we dvcided to have the wash-rooms taken out cf the basement. Each classroom was to have Its own individual wash stand or wash corner. The first thins we did was to discuss the materials (needed. Than we -obtained two rrange crates for each room. These we nailed together, the middle boards acting as shelves for scap dishes, towels, etc. The water palis and waste baskets were to be placed under these foslves.

Mrs. .Ralph Gibson, mother of the bride, came from Courtenay to attend the wedding. toothpicks nearby, together with o dipper for measuring out the watser which is secured 'from a well located on the school grounds. New we had the grooming and locale settled but there was still th question of proper lunches. We h2Jd periodic discussions an food.3, their values and vitamin content, using various charts which had been distributed for our use. We surveyed the eating habits of pupils by sending questionnaires home which the parents filled In over the perlcd of a week and then returned. We found the children's dieiis to be lew in fresh fruits and milk, so made a ruling that Only fresh fruit or vegetables could be eaten at recess. At first there were objections but in a short period, of time (cupils were bringing apples, oranges, celery and other frash fruits and vegetables. 'We encouraged them, whenever possible, to use -whole grain bread ior bread made with Canada-! approved flour for their eand-iwiches and suggested various fillings high in food value 'but easily accessible Insofar as the average budget was concerned. Hot Dish In Lunches Then there was the matter of one hot dish. There ara absolutely no facilities In the school to i prepare such a dish with the already too large enrolment so, with due encouragement and chats with parents, most of the children were persuaded to buy thermos bottles. They new bring I hot; cocca or soup to drink with their lunches. Actually, there's a very small percentage of chil dren now who do not have some- Chink warm to drink at nocg j hour. We also spoke to the milk-1 man about milk delivery and eeveral of the children now pur chase pint bottles of milk which arc de".lvo.-'Cd dally to the school. Believing that pleasant sur roundings have on effect on the functioning of the digestive Organs and thu3 have an influence upon children's meeds and manners, we decided next to Improve The basements. Being entirely without a gym, the children spend most of their time on rainy days Indoors in the basements. First of all, we purchased some Nile green and some bright yellow paint Some of the pupils in Division I painted the walls o the basements with the green, the window casements with the yellow. The difference this made i was -teally amazlngf The yellow casemonti gave the illusion of ptfFftual sunshine. Blackboards were put up for the primary i-pplls and ca. the walls above borders of nursery rhyme 'pictures by means of decals. The older girls helped to arrange suitable pictures about the walls. The basements are now completely transformed. We realize that we have barely made a beginning but feel that, however meagre our efforts have been, t least they may well be paving stones to a better and I more -healthful future for all 'Joncerned.

The reserves behind his policies are regulated by law . and so 'stand guard that even In times ol the gravest stress he knows he Is secure. Dick knew nothing about life Insurance reserves when he took on his first policy as a young man. But now that he has retired, he knows that the security he enjoys comes largely Irom lhe monthly income provided from his Insurance protected by reserves accumulated from his past promlum payments. Harry is an up and-comlng fellow who needs only opportunity to make good. He may not know It, but his own life insurance and the premiums of several million others will keep providing him and others with opportunities for years to come.

They sre NOT "surplus funds" nor do they represent "profits" In any sense ol the word.
