OW CAMALIAN FOROS.

Every fifteen minutes, a Canadian suffers serious injury in a traffic accident.
Every four hours a life is lost. Every two minutes a fender is smashed.

Insurance cannot restore life or mitigate pain. All it can do is relieve the
financial burden of disaster. Even then, the bill comes high.

Last year, companies writing Automobile Insurance paid out more
than $75,000,000 in accident claims — a part of the cost of carelessness and

discourtesy in driving.
