They can be so smart about some things—and blind to other things. Take my Pop, for instance. When I first bowed into this con- fusing world, he was wise enough to take out mere life insurance. Now, if anything happens to him, Mom will still have money for groceries and rent. And I can go on playing here, instead of having to be a president or something, to earn a living. For 'that, I give Pop full credit. Yet he's always complaining about how tough it is to save more money these days. Why can't he see that he can use life insurance — with its system for putting money aside regularly to reach other goals. That way, saving's as easy as sucking a toe Another thing. As I observe economic conditions in this great nation of ours, one fact is increas- ingly evident : Every dollar that's saved helps to check inflation. So we should all save as much as we can, every way'we can, That's what I'm gonna tell Pop. And if he doesn't listen to reason, I'll just drool all Over his new tie I 1 Cife insurance dollars serve you these Other ways: A large part of every life insurance dollar is put to work in investments that bring you—and all other Canadians—extra benefits. . Hundreds of millions of these dollars have been used in this way, helping to provide new schools, highways, power plants, oil pipelines, homes and many other vital projects that raise living standards, Today, by their thrifty habit of paying life insurance premiums regularly, nearly five million Canadians are providing security for their families . . working to check inflation . .. and promoting progress throughout the nation!

Mr. Conroe gave a history of insurance, telling how it had begun four hundred years ago in 'England, as a protect- ion for boats and their owners. After explaining the different kinds of in- surance policies that you may buy, Mr. Conron concluded his talk by saying "You can't stop the clock, but you can take the alarm out of life," Since this was the annual meeting, a new slate of officers was presented as follows; Honorary President, C.

Jim really played goal on the night mentioned in the poem, filling in for Belgrave's regular goalie who was injured. "The Craven" or "How Johnston Rept the Goal" by Jim Johnston Once upon a Thursday dreary, when my eyes were rather bleary, Murray Bradburn phoned and told me that our goalie's back was sore. We were lost it would appear. Would I kindly volunteer Just to stand between the pipes, so the other team can't score ? Merely this and nothing more, No excuse was heard or wanted, and with spirit quite undaunted, Confident that for each goal they got our boys would soon get more. Now the game would soon begin. "Boy, this padding sure is thin. Gosh, I hope we win, because I've never played before". Quoth the goalie, "Ne'er before". Now, the skates on ice a-grating, starts my pulse to palpitating. Filled me, thrilled me, with fantastic terrors never felt before. So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating, "Oh, we mustn't take a beating. Oh, I mustn't let them score." Only this and nothing more. 'Twas the last of January, and my own 'obituary I could see upon my tombstone, and these words I knew it bore; "Here the bravest of the brave lies a- mouldering in his grave. Used his head to make a save, though he should have used it more". Merely this and nothing more. Then the starting whistle sounded; down the ice the players bounded. (Gosh, it sure is hard to figure out which men you're playing for.) Out in front a man goes gliding, down the ice the puck comes sliding, "Well, I guess there's no use hiding; this is one I'll stop for sure. Whoops, I missed. It was a score." Just a goal. Nothing more. Then the fans became iratus. "What a stupid goalie that is. Look how silly that red hat is. Ask him what his stick is fore." How I hate their idle banter of my auld Scotch tom-o-shanter, And my heart began to canter, for it hurt me to the core. All the nerve of them me asking, what this deuced stick is for. Quoth the goalie, "Makes me sore". Well, I guess there's no use crying. Down the ice a man comes flying. Just because he's all alone I bet he thinks he's going to score. Took the splits like old Bill Durnan, ripped my pants from stem to sternum. Well, I guess never learnum all about goal tending lore, If I live to be a hundred, or maybe even more, Quoth the goalie, "Even more". Now I'm knocking at the knees, as the cold and icy breeze Through that huge rip now do pour. And I lose all my composure as I think of that exposure To the fans, of which disclosure would surely make them roar, And I'd face them nevermore. From between those pipes a-peering, long I stood there, wondering, fear- ing, Dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. Now the minutes feet are fleeting. I'm sure glad the ref's not cheating or they really would. be beating, if it's possible, by More. "Lord have mercy," l implore. His reply was "Nevermore", Two periods now had gone, and the score was eight to one, And the fans thought that the game was getting quite a bore. It will be the frosty Friday, when forsaking hair and hidey, I within a net abidey, so the other tenor can't score, Quoth the goalie, "Nevermore". Nameless here for evermore. Now the score was fifteen-two, and our team was pretty blue, And I was badly shaken, as I'd never been before. Now you may chaff and jest, when I say I did my best, Say I'm swelling out my chest, Your forgiveness I implore. But I really think it best if I do not play noe more. Quoth my teammates, "NEVERMORE".
