A year ago, while putting down hay out of the mow, he upset the lantern and his barn was burned with implements and crop. Howard Iver's house at Dungannon was struck, the bolt knocking one of the chimneys off, It followed the chimney into an upstairs bedroom, knocking the stovepipes around the room •and bursting some of them open. On the ground floor, it followed the stovepipes into the stove, blew open the boiler door in the front of the stove, scattering soot and ashes all over the kitchen, There was no one In the village of 14oncleabor0, in Huron County, lives an aged and re" spected gentleman, William Henry Weymouth, now in his 93rd, Year, but still hale and hearty, walks with a quick step, seldom uses glasses, ali,d has still as good a memory as most people at 40, When Mr, Weymouth took hie place, 66 years ago, the dis. tript was all bush, and the land had to be cleared, with the aid of oxen or mules, He can recall shooting wild animals while clearing his land.

His story is getting stale, it is just a few months since he was here, so people are not coming across like they used to.

I enclose $3, "Clothes make the man", says the old adage. But today more and more men are learning that they can also enhance their standing with certain people by owning life insurance. Take employers, for instance. To them a man's ownership of life insurance suggests that lie is fore. sighted, thrifty, realistic, Abode all, it reflects willing, ness to accept responsibility an attitude that impresses every employer. In fact, anyone who learns that a man owns life insure ante regards him with added respect. They know that it represents one of the most important assets any mail can'have. Yet perhaps the most important effect of owning life insurance is on t he policyholder himself, it gives him a sense of achievement. Por in to other way can he create such a valuable estate for so little in so short a time. So life insurance can do more than provide financial security for your family and yourself in later years. It also influences people in ways that help win success 1 THE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES IN CANADA is OOP CITIZENSHIP TO OWN LIFE INSURANCE" Something else that "makes the man" (and does even more for him!) t, •••=.4.0*.

That's right, Ratepayers should drop in occasionally and hear the "`debates"' and get an idea of "Parliamentary pro- cedure" (1) It helps to widen a man's horizon to see hew legislators, even In municipal affairs, do things. Of course we need to remind our readers of the fact that a man's value as a muni- cipal legislator should not be jpdged by the amount of talk he indulges in at the Council. We have known instan- ces of those who talked the most, but said the least. The Inspector for the Fire Under- writers was here recently and made a "test" of our fire-fighting capabilities. Of course, the firemen thought it was a real fire, and were promphy on hand, Only the Mayor knew it was a "test"; he knows a thing or two (we have this en the authority of Mr. Spotton's most intimate friends.) Some think the test was "not a success," but judging 'from the noise" after- ward and the length of the Council meeting (314 hours) discussing it, we judge that it must have been a "howl- ing success." Some say there was not enough "pressure," while otherS felt that so far as they were concerned, the "pressure" Was quite heavy enough. Neither did the man at the hydrant complain s of the lack of "pressure," when the water soused lop to move on Pfitalt9. Mrs. G. 0.
