CATHARINES KITCHENER • TORONTO SUDBURY WHIMPER • VANCOUVER Man's Best Friend There is an old saying that "Man's best friend is his dog," but lately we have been led to believe that dogs are not such great friends at all. This is despite the fact that a dog will remain at your side, even when your alleged friends have let you down, When we look back over the years and we re- view the instances where a dog has saved lives and personal property, it is quite easy to see why so many people feel that a dog is their best friend. As you travel around the coun- tryside you see plenty of ragged look- ing old dogs that can hardly make their way 'about and you often won- der why their owners don't put them out of misery, But in practically every case you'll get the same answer, "Rover has been a faithful friend, and he has earned his retirement. This is his home as long as he lives." Another statement goes like this, "Well, Collie, has been around so long we couldn't bear to dispose of him." Mind you there are some pretty useless dogs around the countryside too, and some that are more of a men- ace than they are good, but taken all in all a dog can be a handy thing. He can watch your property day and night, and many hundreds of thousand of dollars worth of property has been saved by a watchful dog. He can save a lot of steps around the farm. A good cattle dog, well trained, will bring the cows and round up the pigs. He will keep the hens out 'of the garden and the little pigs away from the flower beds. In some sections where sheep raising is the main line of business, a well trained sheep dog can be much more valuable than the hired man. A dog can be invaluable as a child's pet, and it is my opinion that no child should be without a pet of some kind. church basement on Tuesday, AugustThe A child that has had the love and 11th, with eighteen members present, ceaseless devotion of a dog usually develops into an adult who is kind, and gentle with his fellow humans, I have heard people say "I wouldn't let my children play with one of these mangy muts for all the world." Well, I haven't heard of many children ac- quiring canine diseases, but I have seen children living under some pretty grim conditions, where a clean dog would never think of living. There are bad dogs, just as there are bad humans. Humans rob banks and snatch purses, dogs kill sheep and chickens. Humans strew the garbage all over the'country sides, adjacent to every town. Dogs take a certain pleasure in upsetting garbage cans in town, Humans have just as many bad traits as dogs, only some of us have found out how to camouflage their faults sufficiently to fool our friends. You will usually find that the per- son who is out to have all the dogs in his community disposed of, generally thinks the same way about the neigh- bours and the neighbour's children. Particularly the children. If you love a dog you will love your fellowmen, with something more than lacquer- thin affection, It is fine to eliminate the outcasts, human and canine, but why declare war on dogs in general? The Fanning Mill by Bob Carbert The president, Mrs, Clifton Walsh presided. The meeting was opened with the hymn "Rise up 0 Man of God" which was followed by prayer by Mrs. Walsh. Mrs. Gordon Bosman read the minutes of the last meeting and call- ed the roll, A report given on visiting the sick showed that twenty-five hos- pital visits and three home visits had been made. A letter received from Miss• A, M. Rose, a Korean missionary, was read by Mrs. Clifford Logan.

Second from top: Here is The Spirit of Health, as promoted through medical research projects aided by life insur- ance companies. These projects sup- port science's war against polio, cancer, heart disease and processes of ageing. Third from top: The Spirit of Employ- ment is symbolized by this worker. He might be any of the thousands of workers with good jobs in some of Canada's new factories, which life insurance dollars have helped create. Base: The Spirit of Life Insurance, re- presented by a policyholder, is put here because in a certain sense all the others depend upon him. It is money from his premiums, invested by his life insurance company, that so often helps them serve you in all these useful ways. So, if you are a life insurance policy- holder, remember — you are more than a good provider for your family.
