Delighful _ Function At Hotel Victoria Marks C lo a c instructive Meetings of Life Un- derwriters -~ Inter- esting Speeches.

a delightful banquet. elven in the Victoria ‘Hotel last night. was the dosing event of the three days aes- élon of the Life Underwriters Assoc- iation of. Prince Edward Island. There were excellent speeches. the cul- einc was in the Hotel Victoria's best style. and suitable music was rend- ered by .a special orchestra.

Major C. J. Martin presided. and the speakers of the evening were: an Worship Mayor Yeo. Mr. Justice Arsenauit. Dr. O. J. Rockwell. Dir- ector of the Rockwell of Life Insur- ance. and Mr. E. V. Chown. secre- tary of the Life Underwriters Assoc- iation of Canada. ,

A.voca1 solo. "Mother Machrec." was beautifully_s\lng by J. P. Mac- m _ .

Maior J. C. lilartln in his intro- ductory remarks. said in part:—~ "Gentlemen, for three days we have been sitting together absorbing the but. knowledge known to our profes- sion. The success which has attend- ed our» school. is due‘ largely to the efforts of our own underwriters. and I feel I. am expressing the thoughts of all pfesent when I say it is due in very large measure ‘to the energy of Captain Charles M’. Willie-ms.

orous. stories. expressed hls pleasure.

He took a leaf out.of his legal exper- ienoe..and comm dcd the foresight of those who had e goodraenso. to put in an endowment policy at the time that ho made a loan. or mort- gage oil- his property. ‘lhus year by year a fund was accumulating to lat-ire the loan. ‘

Insurance men. he -felt. would bc conferring a great benefit on such people if they would bring this point to their attention.

His Honor stated that he himself lmd never laid by any savings. ex- cept by means of a policy. 8e said that he was carrying a great deal at the present. time. and was a con- vinced believer in its benefits.

There was a time when the insur-

ance solicitor was looked on in much the same lighhas a book agent. But that day was past. and a‘ business man today. who was approached by u solicitor should feel that he was having" a. favor conferred ‘on him. So Incidence-men could well hold their head‘. m‘); . , . ‘ Judge Arsenault felt that more act-t VBftili-lll should bc done. and more publlcityjiven.

The Kings Condition Unchanged

(Canadian Prom) _ LONDONp-Iln. Qw-Tho king's Physicians Sir Stanley Hewett and Lord Dawson of Plum at 8J5 p. m, Issued this bulletin: “The king had a quiet day and the condition of Ills Majesty is III-chanced. N» further bulletin will be issued until tomorrow

Nlilh"

(Canal Press)

LONDON, Jan. lL-Another eter- ectyped medical bulletin on the con- dition of the king was issued at. Buckingham Palace tonight. It was signed by Sir Stanley Hewett and Lord Dawson of Penn and although it was the first announcementwln _24 hours, it said only this: "The U118 had a quiet day and the condition 0i Hts Majesty is unchanged. No furth- er bulletin will bc Lasued until to- morrow night".

The public allowed a distinct de- crease in interest in the case today and ls beginning to adopt the view that so long as “no change" is re- corded there's no occasion for MIX- iety about the king. .

The general confidence has been reflected in all movements of the royal family. They are going about their regular lives again cxceptjbat

‘ditlonal duties have devolved upon the Prince of Wales. Among other indications of the calm in the house- hold was the announcement today that if the king's improvement i5 110i retarded the Prince will adhere i0 original plans for the entertainment of former prwident Alvear of Ar- gentina. and his wife when they ar- rive from Buenos Aires next week.

businesses from the service. . Solne people regard life insurance only from the standpoint of the pl mlum they must pay. It was all wrong to present life insurance from the standpoint of the burden that is to be carried. Then it should not. be presented either _from the value of the policy-sellout», $l0,0tl0.00. Life insurance is more than this. It is a transposition -of ( responsibility from the one who is carrying it to- day for some one who will carry it in thcfuturc, It is a form of im- mortality. which enables those who ,have passed ontollve still in terms

of human happiness and of benefits ~

to his loved ones. » -

Life. said thefispeaker. is bcconllnii very complex. “ In patriarchal days. endurance was not so necessary as it is now. In those days the tribe looked after those who were left af- tcr the bread-winner hadgone. To- day we rely upon each other. and therefore. we must rely upon devic- cs of society. such ns life insurance to sustain us.

.we are living today at a rate which allows not a small margin be- tween what a man earns and what he must spend. if a man would Pm‘ serve. for. his family. tho standards of living that are demanded of them. Life insurance is not a luxury; it is a necessity) It is very sufficient when it allows the standard of life to be carried on for the family which they now enjoy.‘ Whether our gr ndsons will be hewers of wood and drawers of writer. or powerful factors in the life of society may do-

d on whether we have taken out sufficient life insurance. .

And finally. in the Bible there is a beautiful story-the story of a girl who was selec‘ * by the kin! 0i’ B country to be bis queen. Esther was a Jew. and a man who did not. like her race was victims against them. Her uncle heard of it, and told her she must. go to the kin; and tell him of it., She told him her life was in danger if she went. But he said it was her duty, so she went and served her people. So to- day we have the duty to preserve the scanty and helpfulness in the lives of the dear ones who will fol- low us. And who can say that pro- per insurance will not be this suc- cess?

In closing. Dr. Rockwell said that he would not-wait for spring. sum- mer. or any other season to come to the Island-he would come when- ever they asked him.

Mr. E. V. Cboem. after reading a quotation from Hazlitt. written in IB- 15. stressed the necessity and the reasons for optimism. It is cur function to see that no man passes without having his life insured.

The speaker spoke of the advertis- ing value-especially of repetition. quoting the radio as an instance of this. Incidentally Mr. Chown stat- ed that he had derived much help and inspiration over the radio. When we think of the progress which life insurance is making in Oansdahwe should feel very optimistic indeed. He quoted statistics to illustrate the t. mondous growth in the volume of, business» written. 83.000.000.00 worth of business is being written evcrv dsv. in fact. "I'M; works out s. slant pel- second. which u‘ seine added to the potential wealth-of mn-

‘rountry. Assuming there are B.- 00000000 families in Canada. we are ukitnraltd oer working day to the estate of each faintly. The per cam ila life insurance in Canada is not evol- mom per capita at this time. so therb II much room for increase.

Each year the Mae Edwards Play- crsscem to be accorded a welcome of added warmth and, that oi yesterday was not an exception. The play "Sal- 1y" pleased a good sized house and the

. theatre going public of Charlottetown alwaysseenls to enjoy a good clean comedy. Miss Edwards as Sully won many new friends with hel- winning personality and little mannerisms that captivate while Walter Sanville has mode remarkable improvements in his work and was given good sup- lflrt by the rest. of the company. Charlie Downes as Tommy Sheldon. the boy from the country brought many a laugh.

The Vaudeville between the acts scored well. Downes and Downer. tn a singing and talking act greatly pleased-while the orchestra was the hit of the evening. This sea- son the orchestra leader Ls ‘Fred Benlis and Mr. Bemis - sure de- serves credit in arranging such good programmes season after season. Fred has many friends in Charlotte- town that look for him year after ycar- with his orchestra.
