INDIVIDUAL PEOPLE make sacrifices
to
buy life insurance, accident insurance, sick-
ness
nessinsurance.
They channel into these insurance pay-
ments a part of the moneythat they could
use for luxuries, even necessities And they
do so still hoping that they won't die young.
and won't have a serious sickness or accident,
Individual people believe that making such
a sacrifice to provide insurance protection for
themselves and .for their families is just good,
conn ion sense.
When individual citizens of a nation elect
a parliament they expect its legislators
to
have as much common sense as . they, them-
selves.
They expect those elected representatives
to buy insurence with a portion of their tax
payments, insurance against those calamities
which the individual as an individual finds it
difficult, if not impossible, to guard against.'
Our members of parliament have prided
themselves that they have bought• with the
electors' money a, large measure of domestic
security through unemployment insurance, old
age pensions, mothers' allowances, health
grants, etc.
Yet, while this emphasis on domestic se-
curity has been great,and has beefs consum-
ing a large part of our tax ,dollar, we ap-
parently have been failing tp make adequate
payments on our national life insurance, al-
though the tendency seems to be that way..
We are •beginning, all too slowl!, td realize
that higher old age pensions and bigger un-
employment insurance benefits are of little use
to the dead or the enslaved.
If we want our legislators to increase our

Canada has adequate military defences and
makes its proper contribution to the mainten-
ance of a world freedom, now is the time to
tell them so—and in unmistakably clear and
forceful terms,
The life and liberty of Canada and of each
democratic citizen can be saved through: col-
lective insurance.
And no insurance is free.
Its payments are sometimes made in human
blood.

wolf tree in his woodlot also presents a prob-
lem for the farmer or woodlot owner who
is trying to -manage his trees properly.
Wolf trees may be of any species; they
usually have short trunks and large spreading
crowns and attained this form by having' had
too much room to grow
Foresters say that there are advantages and
disadvantages of wolf trees and say both sides
of the question should be considered.
The advantage of wolf trees depend on
their, particular place in the woodlot. If ad-

these trees form an excellent source of seed
supply to start new growth in these open areas
Also, Wolf trees around the outside of the
woodlot because of their large crown, act as
a 'windbreak, and cutting trio many of them
at' one time may leave the lesser -crowned
trees in the centre susceptible to windfall. A
few of such trees scattered throughout the
woodlot may attract more birds and wildlife
to the area.
Wolf trees are unsuited for any type .of
product except fuelwood but the large trunks
and thick branches give a substantial amount
of this product.

James Syme Hastings, who worked on the
Cincinnati Enquirer in the early 1900's, con-
tributed many famous sayings which still are
used by current wits. Among them are the
lines: "Every baby resembles the relative who
has the most money." "Do right and feat' no
man; don't write and fear no woman" was
another. Again, "Most husbands develop into
pretty decent animals, considering'the'material
r their wives have to work with." i
