Back at the Hotel we attended
a grand reception by Esso Petrol-

the New Zealand champion plow-
man, who passed through Canada
on his way to the match, showed
color slides of his country : Eugene
Holmes, the U.S. champion also
showed some color slides. The
Frendh team ran off sound film

France where they won their
championship. There were also
slides of last year's world match
at Upsala, Sweden andm
the Geran
group also had slides allowing the

sounds like a lot of pictures, but

than if we hadn't seen them.

was all so friendly and animated
that it really was a pleasure
listening.
At the royal farm we were met
by the manager and manageress
who welcomed us warmly. We
learned that few visitors to Eng-
land have the opportunity of enter-
ing the gates, let alone touring
the Queen's farm.
To describe the farm>ani all we
saw would be difficult, but the
Wherever there was gloss it was

and shrubs seemed to have been
manicured.
All cif the 600 -acre farm is under
cultivation excerpt .for parks, a golf
course and roads. The main road
is called the Princess Elizabeth
road and it runs perfectly straight
right across the farm. It is lined
on both sides ny large trees, grow-
ing close together. On one nide
of the farm is the Thames River.
Old Buildings
All the farm ,buildings are ever
100 years old but in a good state
of repair. The hone in which

dairy. It is not a modern dairy
such as we have in Canada. The

The 'milk, butter, eggs and meat
produced on the farm are for the
use of •the royal family and staff
at Windsor Castle. Two truck-
loa•d,s of milk go to the castle daily,
we were informed.
. There are etwo herds of cattle
on ,the 'farm, an Ayrshire fierd
consisting of a fine tot of large
cows in wonderful condition 95

of 45 cows, 49 young stock and
two bulls. There are also pigs,

There is a poultry flock of 2,500.

After vie'ing the .stock, fields,

work clothes served us sandwiches
and things to wet the palate.

Frank Thorogood builds for the future
In 43 years, foremanrcarpenter Frank Thorogood has seen many im-
provements in building methods.
"Power tools, prefabricated sections and the use of new structural
materials make all the difference," says Mr. Thorogood. "Develop-
ments like,these have simplified our work— and make for stronger,
more fire-resistant buildings."
In building for the future, Mr. Thorogood has enjoyed still another
advantage — through the wider range of financial protection he can
give his family because of modern developments in life insurance.
Life insurance gives today's families many new benefits. It not only
affords them financial proteetion that is more flexible, but can also
provide money for the children's education, for safeguarding the home
mortgage, for arranging retirement income and for other purposes.
In these and other ways, the life insurance companies have progressed
with the times ... meeting the needs of people in all walks of life.
life insurance companies are a major source of mortgage
a funds for anadiaill families — last year they invested four i
hundred and sixty-five million dollars in this way.• a
