Toour
policyowners
C-ZZ, *
Life Insurance Representatives are friendly
souls. That is why they have won and
held the respept and confidence of 4,000,000
Canadian policyowners.
The more you take your Life Insurance
Representative into your confidence, the
more helpful he can and will be to you,
His advice and experience and that of his
Company is always at your service. When
your policy becomes due he will be “right on
the job” to see that you or your beneficiaries
are promptly taken care of.
Representatives of the Confederation Life
are men of the highest character and
integrity. Planning Life Insurance with
policyowners is iheir life work. Many
of them have been at it for over twenty-
five years, serving two and three generations
of the same family.
The next time our representative calls
upon you, give him a friendly reception.
You’ll find him a real man and a friendly
soul besides.

READING, E’NG.—Last night I
had a neW experience. At seven
o’clock I got back to my lodgings
feeling very sleepy end terribly
hungry-—and less my half-pint as
a ‘blood donor? (incidentally, I.
feel fine, except for a bruised arm.'
The bruise, I believe, is unusual,
so I guess we'll have to overlook
that.) So, one of these days, maybe,
some fine, husky lad will be going
around—-in your own tpwn. for all
one can tell—with my English blood
in his veins, Queer, isn’t it?
The business took place in a
schoolhouse near here, my friead
the doctor having told me how I
could be useful in this particular
way. A small, but very motley',1
collection of people had arrived
already, and we sat round on
chairs; rather gloomily it must be
admitted. Occasionally a door op
ened and a V.A.D, called out three
or four names. Through the door
one caught glimpses of beds and
gadgets.
GOOD NEWS FOR
TEA drinkers
So many people in Canada drink
tea that there will be a genuine
feeling of satisfaction that more
of it will be available for home
rations after September 2nd. The
Ration Board has decided this
can be done because the safety
of the sea route from Ceylon has
so vastly improved. The millions
of ‘SA LADA’ loyers have just
cause for rejoicing.
