THE STORY OF A BEE WHO WASN'T BUSY

. Once upon a time / there was a little Bee called Horace. Upon observing all | the other thouf sands of bees in the hive Horace felt extremely insignificant. He wondered how his little widow’s mite of honey could affect

the vast store required for winter, and became so discouraged that he mado fewer trips per day. The other bees noticed, and they also made fewer trips and, 10, when winter arrived the honey combs were not full and the bees had a very lean time that winter. Humans, of course, are more intelligent than bees. And yet there. are many of us engaged in occupations other than farming, engineering or building who ■ despair and say, “But how can MY extra activity add to the War Effort?” Like a hive of bees, it is the combined effort of every individual which determines the measure of the ultimate success. Be you clerk, housewife, bus-driver, employer or farmers —there is. one certain way that every individual person can assist New Zealand’s fight for strength, self-sufficiency and the maintenance of our standard of living. That way is not only to create assets, but to preserve them. In times like these it is the national duty of every property owner to keep his buildings in firstclass repair by painting. Majora Finely Milled Paint—the finest paint for every external and .internal purnose- ’•o-" lington- by Wellington workmen. Majora Paint is made from pure ingredients. It spreads further, evenly, easily. Majora Paint withstands su... lu.ii or frost for years upon years. Only by trying Majora with its true, fast colours can you discover that Majora is better.

But remember your purchase is one of the thousands that will help New Zealand grow to strength by preventing depreciation and stimulating our industry.
