LIFE INSURANCE

Dtxscnv oit INDIRECTLY, Life Insurance benefits Canadians from coast to coast . . . old and young . . . in every walk of

life. This report tells how more than 50 Life Insurance companies in Canada made 1947 another year of service, expansion and preparation for the future.

I Protects more people than ever! y Every year more Canadians realize that through » liie insurance they can tin-operate with others to share their risks. Now thcte are over 4% million policyholders, and their insurance in

force totals nearly $12 billion—an average of about $3,500 per family.

Edward Fromm. president o! .1"romm Bros. Inc, in an interview recentlypredlcted a revival or! the pedigreed fox industry. He said] that in the nation's style centrll there is already an increased in- terest in fox furs with discrimin- ‘uting women setting tho pace by tasking for finer fox products. Mr. Fromm said that the number of

foxes pelted this year was 20% greater due in the need for re- ducing the fox herds. Mr, Fromm ‘has been engaged in fox farming‘ lsince h; was a boy ln 1912 and there ls probably no one who hall followed its ups ext downs more carefully or intelligently and his opinion is therefore to be valued.

a number of years, moving to Michigan twenty-rive or years ago. We remember very well being mmudged as we were admiring a dark medium male pup that. had won first. prize that afternoon at the Royal Winter Fox Show Toronto, November, 1922, Looking around I recognized my friend Mr. llrme and he said, "What price do you put on that fellow.

We do not believe it was the low Prices in the fox industry that decided Mr. Hume to give up fox farming. but rather that he had arrived at n time of llfe when be wanted to take things easier.

We had a short phone conver- sation with George a. Callbeck, lllunaser l"u_r Marketing Depart. merit. Canadian National Silver Fox Breeders’ Association, Sum- merllde. a few evenings ago. Asked Whether many fox pelts were com- ing ln George said no, that pi-ac. tlcallv all the pelts were In and now it was mostly grading and clerical warl: that was keeping them busy.

INSPIRATION FOR THE WORLD'S W. C. T. U.

Frances I‘. Willard. the founder and from 1N1 until hey- tran- slation 1n 1898 the beloved leader of the World's Women's Christ- ian Temperance Union, said:

"More than any society ever formed. the Women's Christian Temperance Union ls the expon- ent of what ls best ln this latter- day civilization. If was .born in

m9 ‘wk part‘ l“ "x farmm‘ t" prayer and cradled in mother love

Its scope is the broadest, its aims are the kindest, its history ls the most heroic. Its broad sympathies appeal to all good and true women who are willing to clasp hands in one common efort to protect their homes and loved ones from the ravages o! drink.”

At the National W. C. T. U. Convention in Detriot Mich. in 1883. Miss Willard made this elo-

uent appeal to the women of i119 United States;

"We must no longer be hedged about, the artificial boundrlcs of state and notions. Bu‘. for the in- truslon of the sea. the shores of Clilnn and the For East would be purl; and parcel of our own land. We must semi forth a clear call lo our slslers yonder and our brothers, loo. We are one world of tempted hrtrnanlty. We must utter as women what good and great men long ago declared as their waicbword: ‘The whole world ls my parish, ant-l to do good ls my. religion.’ The mission of the White Ribbon women ls to organ- ize the imotherhood of the world for the peace and purity. the pro- tection and exaltatlon. of its homes."

The effectiveness of the Can- adian Association of Consirners depends on you! And you! And you!
