‘HORSE DRAWN SLEIGRS 0N ICE -- On Monday the first horse drawn sleighs made their appearance on the river ice which in the cove and near the shore line is quite thick. but near the channel is as yct not too safe, Several crossings have been made, and on tests the ice proved to be from two to three inches thick. However it seems to be quite safe near the shore line. Since the season is so far advanced it is doubtful that the river will bc bushed this year since the normal river trail usually follows tho flats except in a few places. Last year private citizens in Lower Montague hushed the river. but the spring breakup soon followed so that the work was of little avail. How- ever, the interest shown by these people deserve mention, since the bushing is of great benefit to many farmers and loggers who haul their produce over the ice. Last year almost four hundred sleighs carrying produce moved on the ice during the season, but that number will not be in evidence this year owing to the late freeze- up_ Several men have been dis- cussing horse-racing on the ice during the past week started, un- doubtedly. because of the begin- ning of ice racing in Charlotte- town. There are many racing horses in Montague, with seven at the Annear and Inwery stables, and marry others around Monta- gue and vicinity. This would'be an ideal year to sponsor ice racing. and the many racing fans would be most pleased to have a recur- rence of s. former annual event. It might even be possible to have several classes, with heats in each class. as in summer racing, and make a real afternoon of enjoy- merit.

‘GRADE XI TAKE UP CURL- ING —- During the past week the Montague Curling Club began a new innovation in having the male students of Grade 1G Mon- tague High School undertake ths learning of the rudiments of curl- ing. Eight students, under the di- rection of Harold F, Landry, were given the fundamentals of the ex- cellent gamc, and although the first two ends were rather ragged. the next two ends were Wod. Em- phasis is being placed on delivery from the back with a. smooth, controlled motion, and the man- ner in which proper weight, is obtained. since the Easterners are somewhat lacking in sweeping ability as compared with the west- erners, an attempt will be- made to teach this western method to the students. It is the hope of the club that this course will serve to awaken in the youth s love for the curling game, and start them on their way early. The students themselves are actively interested, and every effort is being made to foster this interest.

The curling club is also well on in the second schedule. and sev- eral thrilling games have been played between the contestants, Q Monday night the playoffs for" the Clarkson Shield will get un- derway in a three-way tie. Curl- ers expect to see some real curling in these finals, and it is expected that a full house will be on hand to witness the duels. The ice is now in first class condition, with each sheet practically level throughout. Tlhe many new curl- ers are taking advantage of the splendid ice to get in plenty of practice, and are showing the ef- fects of this practice with many excellent shots. Several teams are participating in competition for the British Consuls competition in Charlottetown this week, and with the lineup, it is hoped that there will be some favourable results when the competition gets under- way. Although the Gaboury Cup competition has been postponed. it is scheduled to be played in the near future, and the local curling club will have representation in this Island competition,

The study clubs in this vicinity under the (lo-Operative direction are at present talking about a starch factory. Years ago Bristol had a large modern starch factory operated by the late H. D. Mac- Ewen and son1e others. The late Alfred McEwen was foreman for many years and the mill operated about two months each fall and again in the spring and gave em- ployment tc a lot of men; teams lined up for a mile each way all day and night waiting to be un. loaded. It is recalled one year when some thing like one hundred thousand tons of starch was made here and an order was received to have the raw starch ground for candy and other uses. But sad to say the Bristol starch factory was allowed to go into decay and fall down and the Bristol mills the some way until today there is just the old cellar where (he mighty factory once stood.

The Crown Life Insurance Company

Mr. H. D. Burns, President. Crown Life Insurance Co. in his address at their annual meeting. January 28, i949 said in part: Purchase of new life insurance policies during 1948 continued on approximately the same impressive scale as had characterized the pre- ceding record year of 1047. This was true both of Canada and of the United States, as shown by the aggregate figures of the com- panics which are compiled and published month by month. In other countries where certain of the Canadian companies are esta- blished, particularly in the British Isles and the West Indies. life in- surance has also been very active.

The growth of the Crown Life in 1948 was vigorous and well balanced. Its total of policies in force increased to 9614 millions; its assets increased to 8118 millions; while the total of its general sur- plus, policyholders’ dividend reserve and contingency reserve now ex- ceeds $8 millions. These and all other figures appearing in the Balance sheet are after substantial write-downs which we have made in order to adjust sterling and sterling-related currencies to the present official rates of exchange. The Company has almost doubled in size in the short space of five years. and its financial position is stronger today than at any previ- ous time.

While no one can be sure that the upward movement of prices brought about by the second world war has run its course, there is a good deal to suggest that the in- flationary pressures are slackening. The price level in the United States has ceased rising. The di- rection of basic commodity prices in U.S. markets has been general- ly downward for nearly a year. Quotations for most agricultural products have declined, more than offsetting the further advances in the prices of metals. For tho first time in years, the weekly index of general wholesale prices in the United states has fallen below the level prevailing a year earlier. Behind this change are a. num- ber of fundamental developments. One is the gradual recovery cf production in war-ravaged coun- tries which has eased the extrema urgency of their needs. The de- (‘line in the prices of agricultural products in the United States is thus a reflection of improved out- put in Europe as well asof large crops on this continent. Generally speaking. the world-wide shortages of basic commodities have become less acute and though the demand is still great it is increasingly price conscious. Even with the aid

of the European Recovery Program. the countries of Etuope and other continents have found it necessary fa control their imports carefully, particularly from hard-currency areas, as we in Canada are bs- coming very clearly aware. Another factor behind the flat- tening out in prices is the notable progress which has been made on this continent in me ting the ac- cumulated requiremens of con- sumers and business. With the large production and higher prices of the last few years, the back- logs of demands for consumer foods. and even for housing, have been much reduced and in some cases fully met. Inventories in most parts of the business structure have been built up and in only a few fields are regarded as insuf- ficient. Moreover, a great deal haa been accomplished in modernizing and expanding capital equipment and while more still remains to be done particularly in such fields as electric power and transporta- tion, it would be surprising if the level of capital investment on this continent were to be maintained for long at the extraordinary rate which characterized the past year. Mr. H. R. Stephenson, Managing Director said in part: The amount of new policies issued in 1948 was i121 millions. which exceeded the

issue of any previous year. The increase of insurance in force after deducting all policies

terminated for whatever cause also exceeded the increase of any pre- vious year before the exchange revaluation made by the Company. under which all year-end items in sterling and related currency were converted at the rate of £1 equals $4.00 instead of at the rate of £l equals $4.05, as was done in i941. All comparisons between figures of

the two years must be read with T:

The increase of insurance in farce in 1948 was l8! millions be- fore and 872.5 millions after this change. The increase of assets was $13.5 millions before and 810.5 millions after this change - and similarly for all other year-end items including both assets and liabilities.

The average size of the Com- pany‘s policies has increased rapid- ly since the end of the war. The average of all policies issued in 194s was $3.633. as compared with the average of all policies in force at December 8i. i945, of $2.4M. m other words, the average also of policies now being issued is about 50% larger than of those in force three years agq.
