Many Advantages

The value of an Alumni Association in connection with Prince of Wales College has long been realized, and Wednesday night's organization meeting, with the ap- pointment of provisional executive officers under Chief Justice Campbell, will com- mend itself to a large number or former students at home and abroad. Prince of Wales was probably the only publicly-own- ed educational institution of its kind in Canada without an organization of this kind.

The benefits of an Alumni Association are manifold. It keeps students in touch with their alma mater and with each other, cementing friendships formed at college by lifelong contact through the Association members. It also enables the faculty to maintain their interests in the students and their achievements. It is one of the

Under the new idea of fertility, straight plowing is not the ideal it used to be. Scientific agriculturists believe that better results from a fertility point of view are obtained by breaking the sod irregularly all over the field. This, of course, makes planting more difficult, not to mention hoe-

ing and reaping. O

Saskatchewan has honoured the mem-

many former students in other Provinces and it is well known that Islanders abroad always like to gather and discuss old times "back home”. Prince of Wales alumni meetings in the larger cities would encour- age such friends of the Island and of the College to continue or renew their associa- tions with the institution and their friends. The formulation of such branches will doubtless be undertaken when the Associa- tion gets fully under way. Meanwhile, an encouraging start has been made.

Life Insurance Information

Nearly five million Canadians are pay- ing premiums to the extent of more than M00 millions annually to life insurance companies operating in the Dominion. That their confidence is not misplaced is proved by the fact that' no policy-holder in a Canadian legal reserve life insurance com- pany has ever lost a dollar through non- payment of the amount guaranteed under his policy at death or on maturity since. the .first company was established more than a century ago. British and United States life insurance companies doing busi- ness in Canada have likewise a splendid record.

While life insurance has become the major source of personal and family secur- ity for most Canadians, its complex oper- ations give rise to occasional misconcep- tions with regard to the business and liow it is conducted. The Life Underwriters Association of Canada has provided for this contingency by the publication of a ne- vised "Question and Answer Book" which should meet with widespread appreciation. Attractively printed and,edlted, the book- let runs to over a hundred pages dealing

Ice cream manufacturers may not be a large body, but probably they are the most popular who hold annual conventions. The gathering here Wednesday indicated this, when the chief guest speaker, Brigadier Reid, President of the Canadian Tourist As- sociation, told them that the success of tourism depended very largely on the qual- ity they, and others, provided for the enter- tainment of visitors from abroad. Perfec- tion and Pure are fitting designations for such products.
