Now choose the formulas that’are right for your skin. No Unnecessary extras: No

Formula 2 is so highly concentrated, a few drops of these non-fragraficed formulas
are all you need. That’s why everything comes in small amounts. We've even put
special narrow-flow tops on the squeeze-bottles.

Ordinary soaps are effective In removing dirt, but they can strip away natural
moisture and leave skin feeling ‘tight’. Instead, use Cleanser A for slightly olly and
oily skin. Cleanser B for normal and dry skin. These pH-balanced formulas achieve
a clean surface on the skin, yet avoid excessive stripping. After rinsing, what
remains on your skin Is a finish that feels clean and naturally soft.

The Best of Both Worlds

Even if your skin has a surplus oll supply, it may suffer from lack of moisture. Use

you have slightly oily or oily skin. Moisturizer B If you have normal or dry skin. Both

Cabinet Okays
Strike, Lockout

Regulations

The cabinet approved
regulations last Thursday call-
ing for-government supervision
of lockout and strike votes. _

The regulations, which
take effect March 1, apply to
unions and companies falling
under provincial labor juris-

* diction, The voting would be by
_ secret ballot under B.C. Labor
Relations Board supervision,

“Fundamental to the regu-
lations is the privacy of the
voter and the secrecy of the
ballot,” said Labor Minister
Allan Williams.

Votes now must be secret,
Williams said, but no standards
exist for running them and
there occasionally “have been
questions about‘ the way they
were carried out.”

“Unions will appreciate
this because it will address any.
suggestions that votes were not
held properly under the secret
ballot provision,” he said.

“After March 1, unions and
employers will be obliged to
ensure that all votes are con-
ducted in accordance with the
regulations,”

Secretary-treasurer of the
B.C. Federation of Labor, Len
Guy, said the regulations will
“turn the clock back 20 years”
to the situation that existed’
under the W.A.C, Bennett
Socred government.

“I don't think there is any
necessity,” Guy said. Secret
votes already are used to get a
true indication of a member-
ship's feeling, otherwise the
union leadership “would be in
trouble”.

Canadian Life Insurance

At the end of 1976, life
insurance funds had financed 16
per cent of all mortgages in
Canada. Of investments in
mortgages, 27 per cent were on
single-family dwellings, 83 per
cent on multiple-family dwell-
ings, and 40 per cent on non-
residential buildings. Of real
