Ifs a better if e for Norman Tyndall To learn how farming lias been revolutionized in modern times, listen to Norman Tyndall, of Richmond Hill, Ontario. 'Nowadays, one man can produce as much food as eight men could - leas than a gücneration igo," says Mir. Tyndall. 'Machines like the newest tractors, balers asnd combines have lightened our job tremendously. And of course, agraîultural science is adding to our krsow-hbw wich resuirs that can be seen in fields ail over the country." As Mr. Tyndall knows, there have also been important developments in /qc' insurance - m-hich help him as a familv ,man. Today, for instance, there is a wider choice of life insurance plans than c-ver i cfore. So)mcen like MNr. Tyndall have a more flexible way of meeting their own famiuies' special needs-needs that keep changing over the years. The life un&lerwriter ,Aho serves people roday is a key man in this planning.
