Howard Ferguson, District Representative PHONE COLLECT7-1230 London Hensall 680-1-2 Truck Flies Over Fence, Tears Through Kitchen. In Lucan, news of flying sau­ cers- is being "replaced* by the story of Lucan’s flying truck. On Main Street South Friday night, a truck, driven .by William Lock­ ridge, 22, of Wingham, side­ swiped a car driven by Lyle Wor- rack and hit the railroad embank­ ment with such force that it rose like an Alpine ski jumper, cleared a wire fence and small fence, dodged a flag pole and hammock before landing in Mr. 'T. S. Hills’ back yard. • There it competed with last May’s tornado, ripping the top off the well, tore out the side and end of the summer kitchen, smashed storage articles and burst in the kitchen door before it decided to call it a day. Mr. and Mrs. Hill were in their living room and rushed to the aid of the young driver. Dr. C. H. George was called. Among the many neighbors who soon col­ lected to offer aid, special men­ tion should be made of Miss Mar­ garet Ashworth, R.N., and her sister, Maripn, who proved of great assistance. The injured driver was taken to St. Joseph’s Hospital. How he escaped more serious injuries adds to the mystery of the epi­ sode. Probably Lucanites will be reviving the old song and sing­ ing, “He flies through the air with the greatest of luck— That daring young man in his high­ flying truck”.

How did so many people benefit their communities so greatly? Simply . by insuring their lives! In this way, they set in motion a series of events which have far-reaching effects on themselves and their fellow-citizens. Take for instance the new high­ ways, schools, bridges, power plants, homes, hotels, hospitals and other important works now being built from coast to coast. Many of these projects have been financed with money which life insurance com­ panies have invested for their policy- holders. Or look at the workers streaming out from some new industrial plant. They may owe their jobs to life insurance policyholders who provide the money needed for investment in that plant’s expansion. Good health, too, is promoted by life insurance policyholders. Several important medical research projects, supported by life insurance company funds, are waging war against polio, heart ailments, cancer and other dread diseases. But perhaps the life insurance owner’s most important service is not any of these things. It is the way he provides for his family so that they will not be a financial burden to his relatives or the community. So, if you own life insurance, be proud that in all these ways you’re helping to make Canada a better land' to live in I Arena Activities I By LEN GAUDETTE = With three Cyclone hockey matches in our arena, this is a busy week for us.

THE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES IN CANADA "It is Good Citizenship to own Life Insurance"L-653D “It was a National Hockey League game played in Ottawa during the 1929-30 season, when Montreal Canadiens and Ottawa Senators were locked in a two-all tie at full time. In the sudden-death overtime period, the great Howie Morenz circled his own net, streaked up right wing, crossed over as he neared the Ottawa defence and scored with a blazing twenty-foot shot without having an opposition stick laid on him. It was a typical ‘Morenz Special’.” BY TOMMY SHIELDS TOMMY SHIELDS—Moyeo amafeur and professional la­ crosse and hockey. Member of Grey Cup broadcast team for many years.
