Social service legislation has virtually guaranteed to the man in the street complete absence from mental strain, for he gets paid for being out, of work, feeding an extra baby or successfully reaching. the age of seventy—all of which may be well and good if you like it that way. Personally, we still like to feel that we can pay our. own way, particularly When it comes to matters as inti— mate as the health of our own physical welfare. It is true,. of course, that no average wage earner can be sure that he will have enough money on hand to look after those expensive emergencies which occasionally send a husband, • wife or child to hospital for months at a stretch. In order to meet these emergencies the most of us have followed FORTY YEARS AGO along with the popular plan of insuring ourselves and families against hospital and surgical costs, .all members present.

The Advance-Times I 1 runs a great volume of country news, and we want to r, continue to do so, for we feel that this newspaper is just as much the concern of those who live beyond the town 14 limits as those who are right on our doorstep. Perhaps ttaq paper contributes in some way to the conviction that our community consists not merely of a town but of the surrounding country as well—that its dwellers have a uni- fied ambition to live in the best possible place in Ontatioi.

People who were of the opinion we do /lot have old-fashioned winters, had their ideas chariged (and how) last week. All day Thursday and Fri- day the highways were plugged with snow, 26 inches of it, that fell during Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. The storm was accompanied by a high wind which piled the snow in great drifts in many places. The sideroads were jammed full. The plow came through from the south on Highway No. 4 on Friday evening and went through to the Durham Road. The bus and trucks followed in its wake and this road has since been, in good • shape.
