Retiring? Get more life"
out of your life savings!
When you retire, you are faced with the problem of
providing an adequate income during the remaining
years of your life.
You could invest your capital in "safe" securities

provide.
This brings up another, more pressing problem.

capital?

A few months ago we printed

the Medical Historical Society
of Western 'University by. Miss
Margaret Strang prior to her
graduation as a doctor, It was
awarded first prize,
From this article we have
taken some of the more im-
portant facts of the early life
of the Hyndmans in Exeter,
pioneers in medicine and surg-
ery during the early history of
the Huron Tract.
in the 1850's London was a
frontier town and the trails that
radiated from it led through
Lucan, the Sauble Hill, elan-
nigan's Corners, now Clande-
boye and Devon, two miles
south of Exeter.
Along this main trail pioneers
were hewing out homes from
the bush. An occasional wolf
prowled in the miles of un-
cleared bush and 'took their
toll of the settler's livestock.
In the year 1851 Dr, lohn
Hyndman, a graduate from the
Toronto Medical College, at the
age of 21, set out his shingle
at DeVon Corners, close by the
sign of the Black Horse, Dev-
on's one hotel, owned by Joseph
Quick, He was the first of his
profession to settle in the dis-
trict. Oyer main roads and back
roads, good in spots and un-
speakable in others or through
the bush the doctor walked Or
rode horseback, carrying his
satchel and a revolver. In. time
the. doctor married the innkeep-
er's youngest daughter, Char-
lotte. She was Canadian born
and well schooled in pioneer
ways. In her father's hotel
many prominent guests had
been entertained, To this union
was born five sons and one
daughter,
Eventually the doctor moved
his family and office to Exe-
ter, in 1863 Hugh Kennedy
Hyndman was born. His first
schooling was in a private
school conducted by Mrs, El-
ston. From Mrs, Elston lie
passed on to learn the three
"R's" in Exeter's public school,
thence to Upper Canada Col-
lege in Toronto and 'to Bishop
Hellmuth's School for boys in
London.
He entered Western University

drives in sitmmer over dusty
roads and longer ones in winter

were often over the fences and

the fields began.

Don't just Stand There! is a
a new book in your library
written by a well know colum-
nist, Inez Robb.
Of. this book Ed Sullivan
writes "I'e always been tre-
mendously impressed by her
qualities as a writer and think-
er and analyst, and I've never
enjoyed her work more than in
these pages,"
Much of the material in this
book originally appeared in the
author's - column which appear
in over 130 newspapers through-
out the States.
Most of her writings are ob.
servations on the American life
and times, what's right, wrong
and funny about it.
Whistle on the Wind
Nan Shipley has achieved, in
a few years, a reputation as
one of Canada's leading writer-
historians. Raised in. Manitoba
one of her earliest interests
was delving into the era of the
settlement of the great Canad-
ian Northwest territories. Her
research gave rise to such
novels as Anna and the Indians
and The Scarlet Lily,
Her more recent book is
Whistle on the Wind, the story
of young Lyn. Bishop, who gave
up the comforts of civilization
for life in the wilds of north-
ern Manitoba, where tier hus-
band of eight weeks was help-
Mg to build the new Hudson
Bay Railway.
here is also the story of a
railroad nobody believed could
be built---through 1200 miles of
forest and frozen wasteland
from Winnipeg to Hudson Bay.
The Cactus and the Crown
The Cactus and the Crown by
Catherine Gavin has its set-
ting in Mexico when Maxi-
milian von Hapsburg and his
wife, Carlotta, were made Ern-
parer and Empress of Mexico.

and rich in the conflicts which

Take a minute, please, to study this girl.
Look at her eyes, her face,
She's a waif without a name, without a
home, who has never known any of the small joys
that should come to children,
She carries the cares of a worldj in need in
her sad eyes. She can speak only of pain, sorrow
and hunger.
There are millions of children like her in
the world.

Christmas is just over two weeks away. You
and your family already are making preparations
to spread goodwill and cheer.
What about this girl, and the many children
she represents? Can you include them in your
'"•plans for the holiday?
Doubtless you've said at past Christmases,
as you eyed a gift-surrounded tree with the smell
of turkey and trimmings in the room. "How for-

A timely message from Ontario Premier
John P. Roberts::
"With the approach of December 10—the
et' 14th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of
Human Rights—we can note with some satisfac-
tion, that in the past year our province has taken
another substantial step toward implementing its
principles in the enactment of the Ontario Human
,Rights Code.
att
"By bringing together into a single statute,
all the various human rights legislation passed
since 1944, by enlarging the scope of the Ontario
Human Rights Commission and by appointing a
full-time director with additional staff, we are
I.- now in a much better position to proceed with a
greatly expanded educational program, designed
to make the aims of the code better known and
understood by our people.
"It is a matter of gratification too, that in,
the development of its program of enlightenment
the commission is receiving the active and whole-
hearted co-operation of our churches, schools, in-
' 47-dustry, trade unions, and a wide variety of com-
munity organizations. This is surely the best proof
that our citizens. individually and collectively, look.

Universal Declaration of Human Rights
upon our Human Rights Code as a reflection of
the community conscience; that they are prepared
to play their full part in applying its principles
in their daily relationships. not just because the
law requires it, but because truly enlightened
social behaviour demands it,
"While we deplore and condemn violations
of human rights elsewhere in the world and stand
aghast before such ugly manifestations as the
Berlin wall, we must never cease to concern our-
selves with those walls of prejudice which still.
exist in ow.- own community—and sometimes in
our own minds---which deny to our fellow citizens
that equality of opportunity and justice which is
their inalienable right. Justice, like charity, should
begin at home.
"Let Human Rights Day be among other
things, a time for self examination in order to
make certain that we are faithfully adhering to
those lofty principles of the universal declaration
on which the Parliament of Canada and the Legis-
lature of Ontario have placed their seal."'
