A Sincere Message
to the
Practical Person
About Making Ones
OUn Funeral Arraneemenfs

The thoughtful man or woman-the type who
carefully plans such matters as insurance,
trusts and estates-should give pause to this
sincere message about planning ones own
funeral Hundreds Of people have turned to
Joseph Gawler's Sons for these arrangements,
and have derived great personal satisfaction
from this wise move
The planning and payment for ones own
funeral is practical approach to an emotional
crisis in the lives Of the ones who will survive.
When you remove from them the added burden
OF funeral arrangements and payments at the
time Of your death, you are giving them
further reason for cherishing the memory Of
you and your thoughtfulness.
Over and above this, however, is the very
practical consideration Of saving your estate
money. BY paying for Gawler funeral during
your lifetime-either in lump sum payment
or through monthly payment plan that we
can arrange-you are paying todays price
for tomorrow's more expensive services. AS
Is the case with all services the costs of
funerals have increased. over the years, and
there is every reason to believe that they will
continue this trend
II you are the least bit hesitant about
discussing this matter. please bear in mind
that hundreds Of Thoughtful and practical
people have come to Joseph Gawler's Sons
over the years and planned and paid for their
own funerals. Many are living today who
have the solemn satisfaction of knowing that
this problem will never face their family We
have heard expressions of deep gratitude from
the survivors Of others who anticipated their
own passing and spared the bereaved many
problems.
Please come in and discuss this most practical
matter in detail. and in confidence or
phone for an appointment

LIFE IN

Cow Spots Weak Place in Fence
BY JAMES BlRcHFlELI

Except for slowdowns for
snowstorms. there is nothing
much to ruffle the even temper
Of these pre-winter days in the
country.
We 20 about our few daily
tasks. for the days are too
short for any extra activities
through the week.
1t seems as though the last
month has been q wet one. /
suppose that is because most
OF the rains have occurred over
week ends. and thus 1t seems
that most OF the time in the
country has been q time spent
indoors.
A look at the rain records,
however. shows that November
has not been unusually wet.
There was but a fraction over
three inches OF rain for the
month. and ] hope for the good
OF the country. that We may ex-
pect much wetter months be-
for spring comes round again.
I don't know why, but 1t
seems as though. in our coun-
try living. we are fated TO chase
cows. New fences. we thought.
would stop this. But no. 1t has
happened again.
Our red COW never misses a
chance. II q fence has a weak
place. she can be depended
upon to find II. And there she
is out.
She Is good about coming
when she is called. but has
difflculty finding the place in
the fence where she left our
field. This ends with her get
ting excited and usually jump
ing the strong part Of the fence
Since she doesn't clear the
top strands, but usually lands
in the middle. We end up with
two fences 10 Ak instead Of one.
And this can become a firing
business.
We had a false alarm the
other day. Thought the Jersey
had finally had her calf. But
Eit turned out TO sbe nothing
but the other cows calf that
was standing over in the field
with the Jersey.

called to tell US about the calf.
She realized minute later
that she had been mistaken.
but We already had headed
down into the field when she
called back.
Anyway. it's good TO know
that We have a calf watcher
over next door. and sometime,
We hope. she will be able TO tell
us that the right calf is here
at last.
