Fire-gutted buildings seldom would be replaced. Families would be thrown into a lifetime of debt by the costs of automobile accidents and other liabilities arising from mishaps and errors. Few people would risk their money on investments. Industries would go bankrupt. Jobs would be lost. Richmond Hill, Box 206 Phone TU. 4-1879 Alterations ALI.

Repairs Today in Canada, the insurance busi- ness provides protection against nearly every conceivable risk. Fire insurance alone safeguards property valued at, $32 billion. And claims totalling more thah $200,000,000. are paid each year to offset the costs of a variety of mishaps â€"â€"irom people slipping on stairs to tornados. In this way, the insurance business makes a substantial contribu- tion towards Canada's continued secu- rity and prosperity. Correspondent: Mrs. H.

Millin also" spoke at All Saints, King. and St. Stephen’s Maple. Last Friday night we had the pleasure of accompanying our family, including two young ska- ters, to the arena and think it is only right that Pridham‘s IGA should get a big ‘thank-you’ for making this treat possible. The school board supplied bus service for those who had no other transportation, last Friday. but it was just a special treat and cannot be repeated every Friday. However, there‘s skat- ing. again this Friday. Just call into Pridham’s for your tickets. quarters.

This same judge was responsible for the Rev. Millin’s banishment from the country, deemed a form of liquidation for foreigner’s, rather than execution.

COOK Domestic & Industrial HEADFORD NEWS One reason why electricity serves us so well is that it can be delivered wherever wires will carry it. Ontario Hydro exerts every effort to keep safe the wires that carry this important commodity, but in spite of all precautions, lines occasionally break. A fallen wire is dangerous . . . it may be a "live wire”. Never touch a fallen wire under any circumstances! Warn children not to go near them. If you find an electric wire on the ground, or dangerously low, please notify the nearest Hydro office and endeavour to keep others away until service men arrive. Your co-operation may be instrumental in saving a life. ' OAK RIDGES TU. 4-3075 Mrs. H. Acreman Correspondent: B. R. 2 Gonnley, Ont.
