Worth looking into/ SEEMS Impossible, doesn’t it? But, friend, don’t jibe at the idea. Remember Stephenson and his steam engine, Galileo and his pendulum clock, and even Noah and his ark, and recall to mind the ridicule to which these men were subjected by the cultured, the uncultured, the unbelievers, and the great unwashed. Keep an open mind, friend, tor who knows but that our “untouchable” is none other than the reincarnation of the ancient King Canute. You will remember King Canute was rather unsuccessful at the public demonstration when he attempted to force the sea to recede by his supposedly supernatural powers. Since his demise, King Canute may have acquired occult knowledge (in Heaven or Hades) enabling him to carry out successfully with a deluge what he could not accomplish with the breakers. Well, friend, you have seen the result with your own eyes. It is for you to decide whether or not it is an optical illusion or the machinations of the old King’s spirit returned to earth in modern form, determined to work its will. There are some unfortunates, of course, who, even if they were gifted with supernatural powers, would not have sufficient sense to “ come in out of the rain.” We refer particularly to those people who accept their troubles as something permanent and make no effort to adjust them. The clothing shortage is a major war-time difficulty which worries that type of individual quite a lot. Yet it is a problem which is being overcome with extreme ease by the vast majority of people in Canterbury who KNOW how apparently insurmountable clothing problems disappear when you use to the fullest the expert services . . . Cleaning, Pressing and Dyeing . . . provided by Taylor's ... and something which “ cleans up ” one’s worries these days Is; “WORTH LOOKING INTO” ... by everybody.
