"My Life Insurance man' did a grand job for me, Ed"t All talk over the back fence isn't about sport, or politics, or tele- vision programs. Very often it's about such vital things as looking after the family and having enough money to retire on. Your life insurance man is well equipped to solve these problema. He is trained to analyse ail the tacts about a famîly's future requir. inents. He serves Canadian families by offering practical plans to meet individual needs. Life Insurance representatives have exceptional training opportu!- ties today. Their own companies provide themn with basic course covering a wide variety of subjects. Through the Life Underwriters Association of Canada they have access to the experience of many able men who have helped to make Canadians the world's best-insured people. This Association has a 2-year training program for its members. And, in addition, for those who desire to pursue more advanced studies, there is a 3-year unîversity extension course leading te the Association's designatios of Chartered Life Underwriter (C.L.U.)
