... WITH

IRENE

For the past two years, we have
had a most enjoyable arrangement
with our good friends, the Stewart
Smiths, for New Year’s Eve. We line
up one or two reliable baby-sitters,

The children have
greeted these plans with wild
enthusiasm .. . it’s a big time
for them too. But there were
moments this year when Dodie
and I wondered at the wisdom
of our bright ideas.

We made our plans carefully
and Operation N-Y got under-
way at 7:30 p.m. December
31st. There was great excite-
ment when the Smith entour-
age arrived, and it was a good
half-hour before anyone could
be persuaded to settle down
the way we had arranged it.

and baby Tannis in her bas-
sinette. We knew the older
ones would be eyeing the
sleeping bag with longing and
envy, and the battle started
right away. But we were firm
— Courtney got the sleeping
bag.

PLANS DISRUPTED

Well they did start in that
order, but from then on, our
plans went somewhat awry.

It began with Lindsey not
wanting to sleep with her pal
Elaine. She was just recovering
from mumps and not feel:
too well. “She kic! * she ob-
jected. Sternly her mother
over-ruled her objections and
we repaired to the kitchen to
wait for sleep to come. But
Lindsey still refused to settle
down, and Blaine hopefully
suggested that perhaps she
could sleep in the sleeping bag
and Ward could sleep with

Lindsey. By this time, Court-
ney had all the toys off the
shelf and was running trucks
out in the hall. While Dodie
reasoned with her daughter in
the kitchen, I went back to

Ward in the sleeping bag.
Courtney in bed with Jock and
Elaine crying “That’s no fair.
Ward's got the sleeping bag
now.’’ But Ward's eyes gleam-
ed happily from the sleeping
bag and seemed to dare any-
one to evict him. By this time
Courtney was blissfully pound-
ing the wall with his feet and
Jock woefully informed me
that-he couldn't sleep with his
brother. “I could sleep on the
couch in the front-room,” my
daughter again helpfully sug-
gested, “then Jock could have
my bed.” I vetoed this and
deciding that stern measures
were needed, I threatened
everyone with a spanking. D:

face pucker up at being chas-
tised and beat a hasty retreat

echoed ‘round the bedroom.

then when the party is over, we re-

around again, and found Elaine
in the sleeping bag, Ward in
Elaine’s bed and Courtney un-
der the bed. Jock seemed to be
the only one not afflicted with
a terrific wanderlust. While
Dodie and I giggled helplessly
at Courtney's bright face peer-
ing out happily from under
the bed, Ward started us off on
another round of gaiety by
announcing “I’m thirsty.” As
the procession _ progressed
through five glasses of juice,
looked at the clock
it was almost nine
and it was at this point that
we wondered if it wouldn't be
simpler to give up the whole
idea and forego our precious
sleep on New Year’s morning.
But we valiantly decided
to carry on and managed to
get Jock back into Ward’s bed,
Ward and Courtney together
in Elaine's bed, and Blaine in
the sleeping bag. Lindsey by
this time had been persuaded
to go to bed in my bed (“the

THE EMPTY BAG

“Think you can Manage if
I sneak away?” Dodie whis-
pered. “Sure,” | whispered
back with assurance, but no
conviction. The little demons
gave every evidence of carry-
ing on until midnight.

But all was finally well, ex-
cept for one final development.
Within fifteen minutes, sleep
had claimed everybody except
Elaine who moaned and tossed
in the sleeping bag. “I’m too
hot,” she called out. “Do you
want to sleep with Jock?” I
asked. “Sure”, came the

And so the wonderful sleep-

a bone of contention, remained
empty all night. :

Do you sometimes wonder why chesterfield suites and
other furniture vary so much in price? Most people are
suspicious of the big price variation and no one can blame
them. Suites made by experts range from $300 to as much
as $1000, yet you can open any paper and find luxurious
looking bargains for $125 complete.

Could it be that some manufacturers play on their

A\ few weeks ago, Julian Janvrin, an Englishman by birth
now living in Toronto, came upon this headline in his daily
newspaper: “Bank of Montreal Deposits Top the Three
Billion Mark”. A depositor at the B of M since shortly after

d :
| his arrival in Canada five years ago, Mr. Janvrin was prompted

of the B of M, outlining his experiences as both a depositor
and borrower at Canada’s first bank. We thought Mr.

Janvrin’s story of his struggle against adversity was worth

repeating, and with his permission, have made it the basis

of this advertisement.

Five YEARS AGO, shortly after his arrival in Canada
with his wife and three children, Mr. Janvrin had occasion
to cash a cheque at his local B of M branch in Toronto.
“Although I had told the manager that I was just an im-

migrant,” he rec

Is, “he invited me to open an account, and

it was gratifying to me to feel that my confidence in the
future of Canada was reciprocated by the Bank of Montreal.
Two or three weeks later I opened an account at that branch.”

Like most newcomers to Canada, Mr. Janvrin had only

enough

pital when he arrived to get himself settled, and

eventually he found himself short in meeting the final pay-
ment on his car, which was essential in his new job as a
salesman. So he talked over his problem with his B of M
manager, who considered him a good enough risk to advance
him the money he needed.

But let Mr. Janvrin continue the story in his own words:

“I mention this because bankers are sometimes charged
with being little more than moneylenders and usurers, but

comfortable Toronto aparteent

in this instance, I knew
that the Bank of Montreal
was acting as it were on
behalf of the people of
Canada in helping me to
get established in much the
same way as in pioneer
days the Bank of Montreal
must have advanced funds
to immigrants to purchase
seed, a few implements and
maybe a team of horses.
“Soon afterwards I
gave up selling, disposed
of the car and took a
regular job by night, while
my wife by day quite lit-

erally took the holes out of doughnuts. One of us was able
always to be with the children, two of whom were not then

of school age.

“Fifteen months later we decided to obtain cheaper
rental accommodation outside Toronto. A car, however,

would then be essential. Again the bank went along with us.

“Two years ago the landlord of the house we were renting
decided to sell the house.
Again the Bank of Mont-
real helped us and advanced
the down payment that pre-
vented our home being sold

over our heads.

“This summer my son,
having passed through six
grades in three years at
public school, sat for the
competitive entrance exam-
ination to a school for
which I would have to pay
an annual fee . . . For this,
too, [am in large measure
indebted to the Bank of Montreal, for in June my financial
circumstances were such that had I not been confident of
my banker's support, I might not have ever
considered sending him to this school.

“We have now again moved into Toronto
to be nearer the school, but our circumstances
have improved, inasmuch as our teenage daugh-
ter has now left high school of her own wish
and is now working; and as the two younger
children are now at school, my wife in the New
Year will be in a position to take an office job.

“This is not a success story, for the strug
gle, believe me, is still on. But our bank account
is now in better shape than it has been for the past
five years and will now perhaps bear scrutiny.

“To me it is no surprise that the deposits

point of view I myself am not yet in a position
to make large deposits, it may well be from the
