Better Health
a vital interestEveryone has
in science’s efforts to help us
live longer. But life insurance
policyholders have a special
stake in this work.
You see, certain important
medical research projects are
supported wholly or in part
by funds from all the life in
surance companies in Canada
and their millions of policy-
holders. As a result, skilled
scientists in many Canadian
medical research centres can
carry on their task of attack
ing some of mankind’s deadli
est enemies. Their names:
cancer, heart ailments and
virus diseases.
Other vital studies are sup
ported in a similar way. These
focus on obesity, blood clot
ting, nutritional and intestinal
disorders, hardening of the
arteries and glandular diseas
es, 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 years 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.

Presbytery Rally
Discusses Youth
The annual rally of the Huron
Presbyterial of the W.M.S. of
the Presbyterian Church in Ca
nada was held in First Presby
terian Church, Seaforth, Septem
ber 14. Theme of the Rally was
“Our Responsibility Toward
Youth.”
Mrs. D. Glenn Campbell, presi
dent of the Huron Presbyterial,
in her opening address said “we
often lavish time and money on
our youth but are indifferent to
their spiritual welfare We of the
W.M.S. often fail in our own
work for our young people.”
“We must set
them,” she said,
and interest and
children should
and we must provide suitable
programs for them.”
Mrs. W. J. Thompson, repre
senting the Seaforth W.M.S. aux
iliaries, welcomed the visitors.
The morning devotions were con
ducted by the Belgrave and Au
burn Societies. Reports by the
treasurer and various
were given.
Mrs. R. Wilson, of
showed and discussed
books for 19 5 5 and Mrs. J. B.
Russell told of the Leadership
and Training School to be held in
First Church, Octobei’ 14 and 15.
Dinner was served by the Bar
bara Kirkman Auxiliary.
The afternoon devotional per
iod was taken by the Arthur
Circle, Goderich. A memorial
service was conducted by the
Exeter societies.
Mrs. Ross Hamilton and “The
Explorers”, accompanied by Mrs.
Rennie, contributed musical se
lections.
The guest speaker, Miss Mar
ion Williamson, of Wingham,
was introduced by Mrs. G. Bisset.
Miss Williamson is a missionary
home on furlough from Amhut,
India. She compared life in In
dia in the past with the life
there today. She said India is
for peace but has trouble within.
In the new government are many
Christians and many of these
Christians are women.
Many people of India are illit
erate and in places voting is car
ried in by use of symbols. The
greatest problem is lack of food
and many suffer, but with free
dom for India has come great
hope. India is making wonderful
progress, especially in education
al lines. Miss Taylor, Goderich,
thanked the speaker.

head of the geography depart
ment of U.W.O. told Exeter Kins
men Thursday night.
Now part of the “industrial
heart of the world”, this section
of Canada will see its population
doubled by 1975 with the de
velopment of the St. Lawrence
Seaway. “This expansion will be
very slow during the first few
years but it has already started,"
the planning expert said.
Towns which wish to take ad
vantage of this expansion must
plan for their development, Dr.
Pleva stressed. Services such as
sewage disposal and water sup
ply are important to the growth
of industry. Towns must have
men willing to accept responsi
bilities of leadership and with an
eye to business opportunities.
Dr. Pleva said Southern On
tario is one of the “favored
areas” of the world. Although it
represents less than one per
cent of the total area of Canada,
it has two-thirds of the nation’s
population, houses three-quarters
of its industrial activity and re
ceives one-half of its total agri
cultural crop dollars.
Seaway Opens Continent
Speaking on “What the
way Will Mean To You”,
U.W.O. professor told Kinsmen
the waterway would open “the
heart of this continent to the
seaboard.” Already the ,amount
of foreign shipping on ffie great
lakes has increased three times
and this will steadily grow.
“Not every little harbour on
the lakes today will become a
major port but a lot of second
ary harbours will take on a new
lease of life,” the professor said.
Exeter First Surveyed
Emphasizing the importance of
planning, Dr. Pleva told Kins
men that the government has
asked his department to con
tinue its studies of municipal de
velopment in Western Ontario.
He said that Exeter was the first
small town surveyed by his de-
grunts on such work. Today, On-1 Woodstock.tario contributes toward its cost. Mr. and Mrs. R. Hubert, Sea-
