tlhe present inﬂationary boom aub- s des." “Life insurance policyholders are helping to curb inflation by put- ting this principle into practise." he continued. "for their savings invested in insurance represent the removal of an equivalent amount of purchasing power from the mar- ket with a consequent reduction of the upward pressure on prices.‘ In 19d‘! new business placed with the Great-West Life reached a record ﬁgure of $198,336,000. bﬂnillli ml total business in force up to ll.- 307394000 including 81.011.770.000 insurances and sl9t,6i5.000 deferred annuities, the largest total in the company's history. This is atrikinl evidence of the p. udenee and thrift of the people in the face of rising casts of living.

mce. Total new business placed in ‘.947 established a new record for the Company, and was four times that of 1937. New group business placed last year showed an in- crease of 68% over I906. Premium income received from policyholders amounted to 038,503,000 and total income aggregated $58,379,000 which was 7% higher than in the pre- vious year and more than double the income for 1937.

Commenting upon another aspect

of the business picture as it ap- pears today, Mr Manning express- ed the opinion, "In the year ahead business and industry will need additional funds if they are to sus- tuln the current high level of act- ivity and finance expansion pro- grams already undertaken or pro- Jected." Last year the Great-West Life increased its investments by $26,000,000 and assets reached a record total in excess of $304,000.- 000. Investments in city mortgages were increasedby $8,176,000 and investments in government, utility and other corporation bonds were increased by $18,709,000. In i947 an average rate of 3.75% was earn- ed by the Company on its invested asses. He added. "Our "Company will continue to provide funds for the capital requirements of indus- try in the expansion of its pro- ductivc facilities. In this sector of the investment ﬁeld as well as in housing construction, there is need for more equity capital BIld our legislators should have due regard for this need when considering taxation policies which now tend to discourage the flow of capital into equity investment." Payments to policyholders and beneficiaries in 1947 amounted to $19,865,000, an increase of $2,240.- 000 over the previous year, and 27,405,000 was added to the funds maintained for future payments to policyholders. The sum of $2.378.- 000 was allocated for dividends to participating policyholders ' th us continuing in 1948 the higher rate initiated two years ago.. $1,531,000 was added to surplus, raising the capital and surplus funds to $15,- tl0.000 as increased provision against future contingencies.

Carolyn had a lump in her father better. It hurt, now that she was leaving him. the small part he had played in her life. she sensed that he felt it more than the did. She was beginning to real- ize that her father felt a number of things which he never said any- thing about. . i

Then they were at the church anrLCarolyn forgot everything ex- cept that in a few minutes she would be going down the aisle to Beau. The bridesmaids were waiting in the vestibule. They fluttered around Carolyn like gayly colored butterflies. Rosalie at Julia Webster's insistence was maid of honor. She looked very smart in yellow organza with a corsage of pink camelllas laced with tulle.

The wedding march began. “Here we go." sang out the first bridesmaid.

Carolyn walked slowly down the aisle on her father's arm. She lied thought she would be nervous. She had expected to be conscious of the people in the pews as she passed. Actually she saw nothing except Bean's face as he waited

Beau was trembling a little. A muscle in his jaw quiver-ed. He looked as if he nfight be clench- ing his teeth, but his voice was very even when he made his rea- ponses.

“It was done." whispered Beau as they emerged from the church. “For better or worse." ~

"It was perfect!" cried Carolyn. "If only we didn't have to go back to the breakfast." she walled.

Mrs. Wubstcr looked Bean's moths. over with almost audible disdain. Mrs. Bell was wearing a new brown silk dress which Beau had bought her for the occasion.
