Annual Meeting tonfederaiion Life Insurance 0o.

The increasing part payed by life em

insurance companies in Canada's war time financial programme, and the additional responsbillties laced upon life insurance compan es as the result of the war, were em-

hasized by Mr. C. S Macdonald, Bi-esldent, and Mr. V. R. Smith, General Manager, at therconfeder- utlOn Life Assoc‘atlcn's 71st annual mcting held at Toronto.

The Association reported one of the most successful years in its his- tory. New business paid for and revived amounted to more than $63,000,000. The gain in business in force actually has been exceeded but once Business now ln' force is al- most $404,000,000, and the mile- stone c! one-mi! billion dollars in force will shortly be exceeded. The mortality rain we; much less than in 194i, although war claim; were greater in 1042. The earned inter- est upon invested assets was 4.82 per cenip- about 1-8 per cent lass thane year s_go. The e

elimination cl many services con- sidered unessentisl in time of war.

Mr. C. S. Mecdonald commend-- ed the practice _of Canadian muni-

cipalities in retiring a substantial.

proportion of their funded debt, and or making a sharp l ductimt in new borrowings. He slso referred wth respect to the 177 members of their Canadian stsfl now on active service and the a’! members

of the British staff with the colours, making a total of 264 in a1. H

d tribute to the efficiency of ell

use of the present staff who. by diligence. and despite depleted man and women power. had handled- the increasing business of the As- sociation effldently.

In conclusion, Mr. Smite; stat- ed that after making the usual deductions for dwidends to policy- owners ($1,627,000) for smcunt tten oli the opal-s ($186,700) and for a number of other items ($157,000) the unallotted surplus has been increased- by 8927522 to 86.- 071.820.

Bearng in mind that the sub- stantially increased earnings were

dtue ‘argely to the favourable mortal- . Y

in 1042, which probably would not be repeated in 1043, and also that the reduction in interest would continue to a not unsubstsntisl de- gree. so long e; it was necessary to invest almost exclusively in Gov- ernment War loans at approximate- ly 3 per cent. .the directors ieit it was the proper course-ii’, indeed. it was not the only course —to place the pxtrs s-sligtngtsgn the uaialntted lurp us ll expec con- tingencies that may occur before the war is ended.

ECAUS! we are lo the fourth yes: of this war, some of the brilliant patchwork of peacetime colours may be missing from our lives, but war, for all its drebncss, only tones down some of the colours used. Naturally enough, the service colours dominate the scene-Navy Blue, Air-force Blue, Army Khaki.

The dye chemist’: first duty is to ensure that these

» service colours will stand up under ell kiucls of exposure and rough treatment. Gone, cow, is the dependence of Canada (before the last war) on dye- scufls of German origin. Today, these are fully replaced by dyes from Greer Britain sod the United States.

For many years C-I-L's Organic Chemicals Division has served industries in Canada. with their colouring needs-dyesmfs, pigments, etc-for textilculeacber. paper, pottery, plastics sod other materials. C-I-L's service involves constant search to provide dyes shes keep pace with changing processes of manufacture and the development of new materials and admix- tures of old. In addition to furnishing the service- able dyestuffs required for hard-wearing uniforms, C-1-L has assured a plentiful supply of colour-fast dependable dycstufl’: to meet every civilian need.
