It would be nice if we could give you the exact answer in our advertising, but for this we require considerable knowledge about your financial situation, your family responsibilities and your present assets. However, we do have a formula which enables you to list most of your important financial needs, These guidelines for life insurance are expressed in terms of a total dollar amount in some cases; in a percentage of annual income in others. Our 'Formula looks like this: 1—A1-1/2-1 :,-112. I I year's income—the amount your family will need to cover Estate Clean-Up costs. The mortgage remaining on your house. 1/2 your annual salary for your wife until the children are out of school. 1/4 of your present salary to your wife after the children are educated. 1/2 of your average annual earnings as a retirement income for yourself. Now you have on paper the basis of a truly sound plan for financial security for you and your family. The next step is to guarantee this security with life insurance.

Collect for those jess..fortungte Nobel prize winners knock on doors AT THE HIGH- SCHOOL., By Ann Crosch Stage ,LIN Assembly the healthy, eager, laughing fac- es inside them; try to picture some of the 000 trillion young- sters who will benefit from your donation. Oddly enough perhaps it doesn't take large donations. 49 Area residents won't need re- minding that Hallowe'en will be “celebrated" on Monday, but they may need some reminding that not all their callers will be potential tricksters, Many of those, knocking on doors, in the area will be collect- ing for UNICEF, a feature that has given Hallowe'en much more meaning to most kids in recent years. Principals at most area ele- mentary schools indicated this week their students would be col- lecting funds to provide for those less fortunate in other lands. Last year the work of UNICEF received the highest accolade that the world has to offer; the Nobel Prize for peace. One practical point of UNICEF is the fact it is designed to -help those Who help themselves. To qualify for assistance, countries must be prepared to assume much responsibility in carrying out the projects for which the money is requested. In fact, in recent years, assisted govern- ments have actually spent an average of $2.50 for every one dollar allocated by UNICEF. Commenting on UNICEF, Ed- ucation Minister William Davis had this to say: "Some parents feel that the spirit of Hallowe'en tc enmphnw diminished by the UNICEF collection boxes. To help overcome this feeling, let me make a small suggestion. When the masks pop up at your door this year, try to look beyond help those in need, Danny Kaye, the comedian who works unstintingly for UNICEF, tells the story of a small seven-. year-old boy named "Sam" in Thailand, Sam was covered with sores Ttle Grade la isand being geography trip conducted this year next Tuesday, November 1. As themidst.of everyoneknows,.Te ar4pIc, are 101 in keep on staging! See you soon! due to a bad case of yaws, but in two weeks after treatment he had completely recovered, "A small miracle," saYsDati- ny Kaye, "accomplished with 4- 1/2 cents worth of penicillin." Here's what some other do- nations can do: --10 cents can buy enough antibiotics to cure one child of trachoma; --15 cents can buy 100 vitamin capsules for a mother or a child; --25 cents can protect 20 chil- dren against tuberculosis; —75 cents can treat one lep- rosy case for three years; --$10 can provide a grant for a two-week accelerated training course for an elementary school teacher. To understand even better the work of UNICEF and the import- ance the area youngsters will be playing, we quote from the speech made by Henry R. Loubouisse when he accepted the Nobel Prize on behalf of UNICEF last year: "To all of us in UNICEF the prize will be a wonderful incent- ive to greater efforts, in the name of peace. You have given us new strength. You have reinforced our profound belief that, each time UNICEF contributes, how- ever modestly, to giving today's children a chance to grow into useful and happier citizens, it contributes to removing some of the seeds of world tension and future conflicts." So, when the local UNICEF canvasser knocks on your door this year, remember to be gen- erous. That's a Nobel Peace Prize winner collecting. Marching up aisle is easy after that! Most bridegrooms are usually a bit nervous when they head for the altar on their wedding Job has some pleasure When Mayor Jack Delbridge announced recently he would like to have the honor of being Exeter's mayor in the centennial year, he may have been thinking of the many beauty contests that would be staged. He may get some challenges if there's much work such as he's per- forming above, but perhaps he was just trying to impress voters with his thoroughness. That's Marjorie Ducharme, Auto Show Queen, being bussed by His Worship. --T-A photo Man loses licence for impaired driving Film group meets here Accidents —Continued from front page Constable Wright. The other crash took place at 7:45 p.m. on Highway 83, just east of the Goshen Line. In- volved were Larry Dean Gee, Stratford, and Joseph F. Ker- nick, RR 3 Exeter.

S,11.1),11.S, has sent represent- atives to different U.N. seminars each year. Dave Robertson, who was our representative at the Seminar held at la W,O. last year, was guest speaker. He pointed out the fact that at Western, representatives just listen to lectures, whereas at Waterloo University the people represent different countries. The Grade 13 students then put on a mock Security Council meeting. The topic discussed was whether or not Red China should be admitted to the U.N. Representing Argentina was Rosemarie Neilands, Bulgaria was represented by Dennis Du- charme, Nationalist China by Ron Crown, France by Pat Miners, Japan by Casey Kok; New Zea- land by Margie May; Moll by Rick McDonald; the Netherlands by Rick Raveling; Uganda by Mike Soldan; Jordan by Carol Foster; Nigeria by Janice Janes; Russia by Charles Keating; U.K. by Anne Bell; Uraguay by Gwen Hays and U.S.A. by Alfred Aqui- line.. The meeting was interesting but there appeared to be no con- sensus of opinion. The entire assembly was quite informative. Senior Panthers won! They de- feated St. Marys by a score of 21-0 last Friday. Bud Des jardine, Al Youngash and Dennis Hockey made the touchdowns. Dan Cam- eron connected for the three converts. A Dashwood man paid a fine of $125 and was prohibited from driving for eight months after pleading guilty to a charge of impaired driving before Magis- trate Glenn Hays, Q.C., in Exe- ter court, Tuesday, Charged was John Bryce Turn- bull, and it was reported this was his second similar offense recently. OPP Constable Bill Glassford testified that he followed Turn- bull's car along the highway on September 12 and noted it was being driven in an erratic manner and above the speed limit. The officer followed Turnbull in his laneway and when the accused got out of his car, noted that he was greatly impaired. A liquor offense also result- ed I n a $25 fine for a London youth, Clifford J. Edmunds. He was charged with obtaining li- quor while under the age of 21. He pleaded guilty to the charge and also to a charge of not reporting an accident in which he was involved. Constable Ed Wilcox report- ed the youth had hit three trees in the vieinity'of Oakwood Park, Grand Bend, on the same clay LIVESTOCK REPORT ROY PARSONS Steers @ $29.00 ROY PARSONS Heifer @ $26.50 RAY RADER Cow @ $17.75 OPERATE RADAR In the weekly report issued by Cpl. C. J. Mitchell, he requested the public to watch speed limits, particularly in 30 m.p.h. zones, as radar may be in operation. The report shows that the local detachment investigated 21 oc- currences in the past week, in- cluding four accidents which in- jured two people. Twenty-five warnings were is- sued under the Highway Traffic Act and seven charges were laid under the Act. One charge was laid under the Liquor Control Act. The local officers spent 58 hours on highway patrol, cover- ing 1,813 miles. For Service Call day. However, as the big day approaches for Gary Merritt he is actually finding that his nerves are becoming steadier. There's a simple explanation. lie's just returned from a seven month stay in Viet Nam with the United States Marines and that's an experience that is much hard- er on the nerves than the thought of a trip down the aisle. He'll be making that trip this week when he exchanges vows in Hensall with Mary Payne. oIt's nice to come home and see the beautiful leaves falling off the trees and get to sleep in a bed again", were some of the first comments of the St. Thom- as man when interviewed by the T-A, Tuesday morning. He had been sleeping on the ground, against a tree or in a hole and said he could quite easily sleep on a gravel road. While in combat in Viet Nam In September he was promoted to the rank of sergeant in the marines and will be stationed at El Toro, California, when he returns to duty in late November. Due to the extreme heat, es- pecially during the dry season when the temperature r a r el y drops below 100, most American servicemen lose as many as 40 to 50 pounds during the first few months. Gary weighed 155 when he left the States in‘September of last year and dropped down to 119 in a couple of months. After acclimatization he has re- gained some of the lost pound- age and is back up to 139. Two of the foods he looked forward to eating on his return were fresh meat and fresh po- tatoes. Their service rations were made up mainly of powder- ed eggs, powdered potatoes and canned meats. Drinking water is quite aprob- lem for servicemen on active duty in Viet Nam. One way to purify the water, but certainly not enhance the este, is to add one drop of iodine from the first aid kit to each canteen of water. Gary says he still can't get uaad to the taste of good water since he returned to North America last week. As an accountant he was in- volved in only a few skirmishes in Viet Nam and chooses not to discuss the situation there. A.J. Hamilton Hibbert native Andrew James Hamilton, 74, died suddenly while driving his car on Highway 83 on Wednes- day, October 19. Mr. Hamilton was a native of Hibbert Township.

Damage to the car was listed at $300. He was fined $20 for fail- ing to report the accident. Arnold J, Merner, Jr., Zur- ich, paid a fine of $35 and costs after pleading guilty to a charge of having liquor in a place other than his residence. OPP Constable John Wright reported he found a bottle of rye and some beer in Merner's car when he examined it on Highway 4 on October 12. The accused reported he had only had a couple of shots. WRONG TIME A Goderich woman chose the wrong time to take a drink from a bottle of liquor. A policeman was driving past her at the time. Constable Wilcox reported he was just about to stop a car for speeding when he saw a woman passenger take a drink from a bottle. Phyllis Filion was fined $20 and costs for having liquor in a place other than her residence. She told the court she, was tak- ing a drink to steady her nerves. A similar charge against Thomas Emery, Lucan, was dis- missed after he changed his plea from guilty to not guilty. He told the court he was the driver of the car stopped by the police, but that the beer found was not his. It belonged to a passenger who had passed out, so Emery said he took the blame. Magistrate Hays recommend- ed the man consult a lawyer and the change of plea came after court recess. WM.

Anyone who makes general dis- paraging remarks about tee n- agers will get an argument from an Exeter auto dealer, Doug Rob- bins. He had an experience recently that proved to him that teenagers are much better than some peo- ple give them credit for. While working on a used car at his Main St. lot, Robbins had his wallet fall out on the back seat. However, he didn't know about it until a couple of Centralia youths came to his door to say they had found a wallet in one of the cars at which they had been looking. Robbins reported that his wal- let contained almost $300 and several valuable papers. He suitably rewarded the youths, Jim and Mike Foster, and had these words of com- mendation for them: "They de- serve a lot of credit for being as honest as they were". The final open meeting prior to Canada's centennial year was staged by the Huron County His- torical Society at Usborne Cent- ral School, Monday. Mrs. Wilfred Mack, Crediton, chaired the meeting.

A short business period was conducted and Mrs. Philip Johns played a medley of old-time fa- vourites. Elimville and Hurondale WIs arranged a display of relics and their Tweedsmuir histories. The two groups also combined to provide lunch for those In at- tendance. Ghosts and goblins will be re- placed by some space-age cos- tumes this coming Hallowe'en, and the youngsters won't be the only ones going modern. Cpl.

They'll be equipped with walkie- talkies while patrolling streets on foot and in unmarked cars. A total of nine men will be on duty over the weekend and on Monday night as the local brig- ade and auxiliary police will be bolstered by members of the fire brigade. CpI. VanBergen explained this week that there would be no warnings issued to those caught breaking any laws. They will be charged. The local OPP Detachment also issued a similar warning. ''There will be no sympathy shown to persons committing de- liberate malicious damage under the guise of Hallowe'en tricks," Cpl. C. J, Mitchell stated. DISMISS CHARGE In the only other case, Thomas A. Apsey, London, had a charge of failing to yield the right of way dismissed against him. He had been involved in an ac- cident in Zurich when he col- lided with a vehicle driven by Hermas Grenier, RR 3 Zurich.

Tweedsmuir Hall, London, CNIB's general service centre for the four counties of Huron, Elgin, Middlesex and Perth, pro- vides accommodation for those needing residential care. There they may exchange ideas with oth- er blind persons, take part in a recreation program designed for their special needs, and enjoy the safety and security of pro- tective gates at stair tops, rais- ed identification signs on doors and other special aids. Those remaining here at home are making use of the CNIB library with its recorded and Braille books on a variety of subjects from Perry Mason to space travel. Listening readers select their own books from a descriptive catalogue sent out from the Toronto based library and thus enjoy books of their own choice, just as their Sighted neighbors do through the local library. Others are learning crafts and the use of the white cane through the guidance of the Calm HOMO Teacher, blind herself. CNIB's prevention program arranges eye examinations and professional treatment fOr those in danger of losing their sight. Mr. Snider urged citizens to watch for the canvasser or the letter appeal which will reach their homes.
