THE ALASKA BROWN BEAR is the biggest meat eating
animal in the world, often attaining a height of ten feet when
he rears up on his hind legs. Like all .bears, the
.'brownie' hibernates in winter. Soon after- the first •
snow falls, he finds a cave or a deep shelter under an over=
.hanging ledge of rock. There he curls up and sleeps until spring.
The bear 'retires' for severalmonths every year,.
sustained by the fat stored in his body. When
human beings retire, however, they don't receive the same
help from Nature. They turn instead to life
insurance. Nothing can make, a man's retirement years morea.
• financially secure than a portfolio of Sun Life policies'
tailored`to his requirements. Let me tell you how.
