did a grand job for me, Ed,),
"All talk over the back fence dsn't about sport, or politics, or tele-
Yision programs. Very often it's about such vital things as looking
filter the family and having enough money to retire on.
Your life insurance man is well equipped to solve these problems.
He is trained to analyse all the facts about a family's future require-
ments. He serves Canadian families by offering practical plans to
meg individual needs.
Life Insurance representatives have exceptional training opportuni-
ties today. Their own companies provide them with basic courses
covering a wide variety of subjects.
Through the Life Underwriters Association of Canada they have
access to the experience of many able men who have helped to make
Canadians the worin best -insured people. This Association has a
2 -year training program for its members. And, in addition, for
those who desire to pursue more advanced studies,,there is a 3 -year
' university extension course leading to the Association's designation
of Chartered Life Underwriter (C.L.U.)
This thorough training plus practical experience in helping people
explains why millions of Canadians have welcomed the services of
the modern Life Underwriter.
