A free booklet to
answer your questions
about Annuities
There comes a time in most men's lives when a guaranteed in-
come is more important than the hope of capital gain.
And that's exactly what annuities from Manufacturers Life offer.
They provide an automatic, guaranteed income for life,
People have asked us many questions about annuities in the
past. Important questions such as: Can I arrange for some of the
money to be returned to my estate if I die early? Is there an
annuity that will transfer the income to my wife if she outlives
me? How do annuities affect my income tax? Ts an annuity a
practical way of supplementing Canada Pension Plan and other
retirement income?
To provide you with the answers we have published an easy-to-
read, easy-to-understand booklet called "Annuities . . . the key
to a golden age." It's yours for the asking, without obligation.
Just fill in and return the coupon below. And if you would like
to discuss annuities with someone, you couldn't find a better
person to talk to than the Man from Manufacturers.

Imagine trying to keep house without milk.
What about that? No cold milk splashing
into a glass. None to pour over cereals. No
milk for formulas. No puddings, shakes,
ice cream, cream soups or sauces.
Tmpossible.
Women know how important milk nour-
ishment is. Fresh, natural cow's milk. Why
it even has
some extra.

that are still
the secret
of Mother
Nature and the cow herself. It's just one of
the world's most nearly perfect foods,
that's all.
Canadians may take the miracle of cow's
milk for granted. But to make sure fresh,
pasteurized milk is always
available, the cows work (
seven days a week and so

There is only one race left for
the Lucan Homing Club this
year. This will be a race by every
one who is lucky enough to have
a ticket to our banquet to get a
good, seat at the Shillelagh.
Saturday, November 16.
Last year we held our first
banquet. We started out to invite
just a few people but by the
time the date rolled around we
found out we had 216 people
who were at that party plus
some others that would have
liked to have come along.
Last year we had a film that
gave some of you non-fanciers a
good idea of how a pigeon race
takes place.
This year we have been able
to get the Paul Brothers and
Shirley to entertain us after the
dinner. These are the people
who came from over the other
side of Granton. They have been
around quite a few years "as
their hair will show", but never
the less they tell me they get
better each year.
I know there will be a lot of
people who would like to get
tickets just so they can see the
entertainment. Now we feel we
should give the people who
supported us last year the first
chance at the tickets. If there are
some tickets not sold, they can
be picked up from our president
Norm. Hardy.
Anyone who had tickets last
year will please get this year's
tickets from the same club
member that you got them from
last year.
Lena and Carrot Hardy are
working very hard getting the
decorations ready. They wanted
to use the picture of a pigeon for
a table decoration but there was
some discussion as to whether it
should be a cock or a hen they
would use. Our president solved
the whole problem by telling
them to use a chicken or even an
owl for a center piece. (He is
very easy to get along with).
Cec. Lewis tells me the
Shillelagh staff will be willing
and waiting to serve you just as
good a dinner as you had last
year.We would like to have every
one seated at the table by 7 p.m.
if we could, so we will have lots
of time for the entertainment
and dancing after the dinner.
There are some people
coming from Toronto,
Kitchener, London and many
other places. Some of these
people lived here in Lucan many
years ago. We do look forward
to seeing them at least once a
