But there's ci tremendous difference beneatA the surface , a paused but healthy economy ... a population asleep but ready 'for the next day. Another invisible factor, just below the surface, is insurance, Insurance in its many forms protects the community when it is awake or asleep — against the risk of loss from fire, accident, theft, liability, storm and the multitude of other hazards we all face from day to day, Without the protection which insurance provides, most thriving Canadian municipalities might well be ghost towns, Without that protection—which comes only when the ccdastrophic losses of the few can be spread among the many —most of the enterprises Which make our Canadian centres prosperous today could not have been undertaken.
