No other whisky combines so rare a fragrance with such mellow smoothness; no other is quite so soft, so round, so genial. Perfect blending and slow maturing winter's supply, but so far

have made White Horse Whisky the equal of a fine liqueur.

The millions of gallons of finest Scotch whisky matured and maturing ensure that the quality of White Horse never varies.

The German-controlled Dutch radio says an egg is an unneces- sary luxury at breakfast and it would be healthier for people to give up tea and coffee.

A rationing scheme for veget- ables is apparently in prepara--| tion although Holland has always had a superabundance of these.
