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. Jock and Ward in one bed, Elaine and Lindsey in the other, two-year-old Courtney in a sleeping bag in a low cot. 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 usually 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 Pick up the toys and. found 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: mayed I watched Courtney face pucker up at being chas- tised and beat a hasty retreat to the kitehen while wails re- echoed ‘round the bedroom. park all the kids at our place, and then when the party is over, we re- tire at the Smith’s to sleep until twelve or one o'clock. 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 we she whispered) reigned. 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 Prompt reply. - and silence And so the wonderful sleep- ing bag which had been such a bone of contention, remained empty all night. : es Horsefly’s oldest resident feted Horsefly’s oldest resident, Mrs. Margaret Gruhs, celebra- ted her 89th birthday on Jan- uary 6 at the home of her daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Williams.

UPHOLSTERING IS MY BUSINESS 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.

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 by the headline to write a letter to Gordon R. Ball, president 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.

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.
