Your stake
Better Health
Everyone has a vital interest
in science’s efforts to help us
live longer. But life insurance
policyholders have a special
stake in this work.
You sec, certain important
medical research projects are
supported wholly or in part
by funds from all the life
insurance companies in
Canada with their millions of
policyholders. As a result,
skilled scientists in many
Canadian medical research
centres can carry on their task
of attacking some of man
kind’s deadliest enemies. Their
names: cancer, heart ailments,
tuberculosis and poliomyelitis.
Other vital studies are sup
ported in a similar way. These
focus on processes of ageing,
cellular growth, dental
hygierte, pregnancy complica-
tions, thyroid hormones,
blood clotting and asthma, to
mention but a few.
Will all these efforts help
you and your family to live
longer, healthier lives?
Yes! Thanks chiefly to the
advance of modern medicine,
babies born today can expect
to live about 20 ye'ars longer
than those of 50 years ago.
Many dread diseases have
been banished or controlled.
Ahead lies further progress
that will surely benefit you
and yours.
And, if you are a life insur
ance policyholder, ,you also
• have the Satisfaction Of know
ing you have participated in
this program designed to bring
the blessings of good health
to alt!

were the days;
Remember when Grandfather kept a cow for his milk
often made shoes for the family? In those days, his cash
requirements were small because he bartered his services
for his family needs.
Today—with our tremendous industrial growth, our needs
have increased, but our purchases are now made with
cash or credit.
Good management and sound budgeting are the keys for
smooth finances. Occasionally the pattern breaks, how
ever, due to illness or emergency. This is when wise
borrowing can then protect one of the greatest assets
enjoyed in family life — good credit standing in the
community.
We have learned to use the experience of others to help
us adjust to the world of today. Read our free booklet,
