However, while the BC, Opto- metric Association recommended fluorescent blaze orange or fluor-| | escent neon red as the safest colors for hunters clothing, Dr. Cox cau- tioned that no color is entirely safe, and that some hunters, “particular- ly young, rash and inexperienced ones, will shoot at anything that moves — no matter what color js being used.” ‘Dr. Cox pointed out that his sprofession, in co-operation with the Bo, Federation of Fish & Game Clubs, is conducting vision screen- ings of federation memibers, and that the battery inchides a test for color discrimination, He will learn 50,0001 €ssons before he starts earning ‘The important ones will be learned from now until he grows up.'The more education ONLY LIFE INSURANCE CAN PROTECT YOU THESE FIVE WAYS. he gets the better he will be able to 1 compete- in the modern world.

Right now, for example, imperial is drilling 30 miles of hole at B.C.’s Boundary Lake oil field. Boundary Lake oil will travel 745 miles to Imperial’s refinery near Vancouver, where it will be turned into products. And those products reach you at bargain prices. Take Esso gasoline, for example. On the average, it costs motorists: throughout B.C. 6y5 cents:per pound. Compared with other commodities in everyday use, you won’t find a better bargain. Milk, for example, sells on the average for 9,% cents a pound; soft drinks for 12,%, cents a pound; even distilled’ water costs more than gasoline. And of the 675 cents paid per pound for’ Esso gasoline, two cents is for federal and provincial taxes that bring you such things as social. seryices'and new highways. To bring you this bargain, Imperial has invested more than $80,000,000 in B.C. in the Past ten years alone. Yet today, on the average, Imperial gets less for the Esso gasoline it sells than it did ten years ago...and Esso gasoline today is much more powerful than ten years ago.
