Parity Position For Agriculture
The time has arrived when all
concerned should be giving serious 1
consideration to the policy to be e
adopted respecting the continuance
or otherwise of the various subsidy o
programs and policies affecting farm t
products, H. H. Hannam, President 1
of the Canadian Federation of Agri- a
culture, told the annual Dominion -
Provincial Agricultural Conference a
meeting in Ottawa recently. All of
those participating in the confer-
ence, and those in responsible posi- t
tions throughout the nation, he said, h
should be considering how the nec- s
essay changes can be made with the

greatest measure of fairness to ev- H

A SCHOOL is itself a problem in mathematics. When
a new settlement grows up or an old one expands,
someone has to do some figuring. The money has to
be found for that little new school -house or that added
wing to a high school crowded to the corridors.
The municipal bonds which finance the building of
schools, hospitals, water -works, hydro plants, and other
Community projects which contribute to our national
health and enlightenment, are financed to a large extent
from Life Insurance funds.
Dollars you havepaid in as Life Insurance premiums
may already have returned to your community. Every-
where you turn this great co-operative fund is being
employed in socially useful enterprises.
01 every dollar invested out of Life
Insurance funds, a substantial portion
goes into the solid, progressive develop-
ment of Canadian communities, Other
investments include government bonds
public and industrial securities, farm and
home mortgages, etc. This money, repre-
senting the thrift of the nation, creates a
never-ending cycle of jobs far and wide,
as well as safeguarding the future secur-
ity of four: million policyholders and their
families.
