Lucan Teachers Cany On
In spite of difficulties,
passing even those of the peda
gogues of the Little Red School
house, the teachers of Lucan are
carrying on surprisingly well
with the loan of tables, desks,
chairs, cupboards -and some
books. One could scarcely ima
gine so many different shapes,
colors and sizes of small tables
that fill the Anglican
Hall. One blackboard is
on a chair while others
easels.
Miss Hossie at the
Hall has the best set-up as she
has desks—some much the worse
of wear but still desks. In the
two churches and the arena
everything has to be stored away
at night, but Miss Hossie has not
that difficulty. One of the big
gest draw-backs is the children
get no recesses. Needless <to say,
they 'get very restless. Perhaps
the novelty hasn’t yet worn off,
but the children all seem to love
their new abode.

How. many
ways do they
serve you?
All of these people serve you in
useful ways through their jobs.
But, like people in all walks of
life, they may also be helping ,
you in certain i7iiportant un
seen ways.
Take your postman, for in-
stance. He may have helped to
build your home through his
ownership of life insurance. It’s
possible — because the money
of thousands of life insurance
policyholders is invested for
them in building homes
throughout the nation.
In the same way your milk
man, lawyer or nurse may have
helped build new highways,
waterworks, schools, power
plants or other essential public
works in your community.
And — who knows—perhaps
your job too was created by these
life insurance policyholders’
dollars, invested to develop
new businesses and industries.
So anyone who owns life in
surance — including probably
you — does more than provide
financial security for his family.
He also serves his fellow
citizens in all these useful ways!
