The following correspondence is

self explanatory: Charlottetown. December i2, i939.

Mr. V. I. Smart,

Deputy Minister of Transport. Ottawa.

Dear Sir:

In view of the fact that the training of men in the present war for the Royal Air Force will looked after on a large scale by the Canadian Government. and be- lieving they will need all the co- operation and assistance they can obtain for this great undertaking, I thought I would drop you a line with reference to same.

As ou are aware. we have the new herwood airport in or near our City. which 1s almost com- pleted and at considerable expense. Considering that the Government of Canada paid for most of this work and that it can be used at the present time. I feel it might help in the above matter if the City were to allow you the use of this airport for the duration of the war.

I know the Citv Council would be agreeable to this and if you wish to take advantage of the privilege extended I would ask your advice as ear‘v as possible. as there are other things awaiting on your de-

Mr. Earle referred also to the steps taken to safeguard the interests of Canadian policyholders isince the outbreak cf the war, and gave a brief resume of the pre- sent business outlook. with special emphasis on the heaithy state oi

The total new business written this year by insurance companies in Canada is estimated to reach ,$650,000.000. Mr. Earle announced; total insurance in force about $6.- 7000011000, while the total amount paid to policyholders and bene- ficiaries exceeded 315000.000 These totals. Mr. Earle emphasiz- ed. were exclusive of fraternal in- surance, and compared most fav- ourably with the corresponding figures for 1938.

"General business conditions throughout Canada are better than ,was the case a year ago." Mr. ‘Earle told the press. "Continuous improvement is in evidence in all Idlrections Unemployment has les-

"After careful consideration.“ said Mr Earle. “and with a view to the safeguarding of Canada's enviable insurance structure. n War and Aviation clause was adopted, with the following prov- lslons:

A month ago, Lupe told police. her maid introduced her to a “dark young woman” who said lhe was a Gypsy with mystic powers

"You have many enemies.” the Gypsy warned Lupe. “And they have put a curse on you."

Every day for two weeks she re- turned to the actress’ Rodeo Drive home, "praying" for the overthrow of her enemies and their curses.

Then she told Lupe she would have better success if there was some money to pra over. Dupe produced $150. Two ays later the Gypsy brought it back.

"Ndgood." she declared. "I need $10,000 to pray over." Lupe settled for $2,500.

Those who engage in aviation service in Canada have similar extra premium option. but no option is granted to pay extra premium to cover aviation hazards while serving outside Canada. Ex- tra premiums run from S10 to $90 annually per $1.000 of insurance. according to nature of service. Of course. these restrictions apply only to new policies. Old ollcles carry no restrictions govern ng military or naval service."

"There was little change in the investment picture during 1939 as

I affecting life insurance companies."

continued Mr. Earle. "and it seems likely that interest earnings will be fully maintained at 1038 levels. Loans under the National Housln! Act show a marked increase over those made in the preceding year. The rate of interest realized by ‘ending institutions on National Housing Act loans is 5 2/3 per cent. The new regulation by which the Governments participating in Na- tlonal Housing Act loans would be limited to $4 0M may have a tend- ency to citrI-all the building of dunlexfls ard apartment houses in 1940.

are now preparing for a large nqrticination in the Dominion Government loan to be offered car'v in the new year." _
