They can be so smart about some things—and blind to other things, Take my Pop, for instance. When I first bowed into this con­ fusing world, he was wise enough to take out more life insurance. Now, if anything happens to him, Mom will still have money for groceries and rent. And I can _ go on playing here, instead of having to be a president or something, to earn a living. For that, I give Pop full credit. Yet he’s always complaining about how tough it is to save more money these days. Why can’t he see that he can use life insurance — with its system for putting money aside regularly — to reach other goals. That way, saving’s as easy as sucking a toe ! Another thing. As I observe economic conditions in this great nation of ours, one fact is increas­ ingly evident: Every' dollar that’s saved helps to check inflation. So we should all save as much as we can, every way we can. That’s what I’m gonna tell Pop. And if he doesn’t listen to reason, I’ll just drool all over his new tie! PLife insurance dollars serve you these other ways: St A large part of every life insurance dollar is put to work in investments that I bring you — and all other Canadians — extra benefits. I Hundreds of millions of these dollars have been used in this way, helping L . to provide new schools, highways, power plants, oil pipelines, homes and many fi other vital projects that raise living standards. gToday, by their thrifty habit of paying life insurance premiums regularly, I nearly five million Canadians are providing security for their families . . . { working to check inflation . . . and promoting progress throughout the nation Ij* 4 <• and their representatives ■un­ fl f c r Cef Top Quality HOGS TO MARKET RUTTER the NATIONAL “fresh-mix" WAY Here’s an easy way to convert your grain into ready cash!
