Three points were emphasized, “the process of thinking, how to keep up to date on it, and how to continue to be constructive thinkers as we grow old.

The speaker said, we do not lack facilities but lack elimina­ tion and discrimination. Mrs. Harvey Timm read a motto written by Mrs. John MacLean en­ titled “Laugh More, Worry Less, Smile and the World Smiles with. You, Weep and You Weep Alone,” an old adage that stands in good stead for appearance and popularity. Health is important to happiness and our attitude too is important. The best example of this is found in the Bible which uses the word childlike. To be childlike is to Have faith in the present, future, in one’s self, and those around us.

Very few of these people are celebrities, public heroes or lead­ ing dignitaries. Mostly, they’re “just plain folks”. But together they help create much-needed new public works, homes, building and industrial developments. All of which promote progress and provide thousands of jobs. How do these people play a part in such big projects? Simply by owning life insurance. For it is money from their premiums, which life insurance companies invest for them, that makes it pos­ sible for many of these projects to be completed. Thanks to these same people, life insurance companies are able to contribute funds to medical research work in a wide range of vital fields. As a'result, Canadians may look forward to living longer, healthier lives. What’s "more, every life insurance policyholder tries to save his family from ever having to depend oil others for their support. This, too, is a service to his community, That’s why, if you own life insurance, you deserve “a key to the city” I P.S. from your life insurance man "Invested life insurance dollars earn interest that makes if possible for you and your family to enjoy the benefits of life insurance at such low coil. If you have any questions about how to make life insurance fit your Own special needs, give me a call, I'll be glad to help you!"
