Jerry trained his eyes in a futile endeavor to look any dis- tance downward. The depth was great, the fall precipitous-that was the extent of his preliminary survey. should he seek no further? The heat was oppressive in this on- closure. He stripped and dived, if only for a swim. There lay that old derrick. A rock had caught it as it fell. and still held; at a considerable "height. its upper end. Jerry climbed. It held him. He poised and. putting all his force into the plunge. dived again. Down he went into those cold recesses-far down. There was a sound as of thunder in his ears. the pressure as of mountains upon his chest. Little light could strug- gle this far; he could see nothing. He could feel, though. There came into play another force be- sides Ihe usual opposition to such progress. and working at a right angle to it.

To make any headway directly against this stream was impos- sible; his one hope was to fight indirectly across it. The thing seemed alive and im- placabie.

"Could be Ted wanted to go to the hockey game. and you pre- ferred to dance." we ventured. "Or he didn't notice your pretty dress. Or forgot your birthday." Marian was disappointed in us and rightly. "You don't think we quarrel about such silly things," she frowned. "Remember. even if we are young. we've been friends for years and should know each other's ways. I might as well tell you. Ted said he'd never marry me if I intended to become a perfect housekeeper!" "'1'-hat is a new onel" we ex- claimed. "Do tell us more." "Well, as you know,''. said Mar- ian. "I've been going to school at night to learn sewing. I can cook pretty well too. but I felt. my gen- eral housekeeping could be improv- ed. We were never very orderly are books and papers and records scattered about, and nothing looks shining and waxed and everything in its place like Ted's home. Of course we love it that way and Mom and Dad think it's all -right too. But I got to thinking that maybe Ted worried that I'd be a careless housekeeper. "Ted". I asked him the other ,night. 'do you think your mother iwould give me some fine points in housekeeping? I know I'm not too orderlyi' "Well, I never saw him get so upset over anything! 'You'n or- derly enough for me,' he almost shouted,' and if you get any no- tions about perfect housekeeping, I won't marry you!" When Ted came to call for Max- ian. he filled in the story. Young people like Ted and Marian- and there are many-should re- assure older folks about the pre- sent generation. Their frank and comradely yet. loving relationship with each other gives promise of a fine and understanding home.

Total Sun Life insurance now in force amounts to mom than 85 billions, marking yet an- other milestone in the progress of Canada's leading life com- pany. George W. Bourke, Pres- ident, in presenting Sun Life's 82nd Annual Report, lnnounoed that policyholderf dividends during 1053 will amount to 822 millions, up two millions from last year; Stating that the objective of the business of life insurance was to make available its serv- ices to as many people as pos- sible. Mr. Bourke emphasized that the Sun Life is playing a leading role in this purpose. Last year, new Sun Life busi- ness amounted to 55-15,581,000 ns lcompared with the 1951: figure of &46l.'776,000, an increase of 187p. The Sun Life of Canada operates in nearly 30 countries Ihroughout the world, but the major part of this new life in- surance was secured in Canada, United States and Great Brit- nin. Group insurance included in the new business total amounted to S165,487.000, an in- crease of 371 millions over 1951. The importance of Group life insurance, said Mr. Bourke, is being increasingly recognized as a valuable social factor by re- sponsible industrial and busi- ness leaders who are finding that well-rounded insurance and retirement programmes help both to secure and to retain valuable employees and pro- mote sound staff relations in both large and small organiza- lions. At the end of I962. total Sun Life insurance In force stand at 55.222.947.000, an increase of s42l,43i,0o0-nearly 991. over the amount at the end of the previous year. Group insurance in force. included in this amount, has now neiachod S1,- 493.50l.000. an Increase of 1999. Annuity payments which the Company has undertaken to provide immediately or in the future, through Individual con- tracts or group pension plans. amount in s1l7.833,000 per an- num. The number of policies and group certificates now in force is l,9l'2.000. BENEFIT PAYMENTS Mr. Bourke referred to life insurance as the most popular and effective method of per- manent savlng, because it pro- vides an immediate estate in the event of death, and also as- sures financial security when working years are over. The payments made to Sun Life policyholders and beneficiaries during 1952 amounted to 5118.- 618,000, or 3467.000 for each working day of the year. Of this amount. ssisszooo was paid to living policyholders. and t36,9B6.000 to the benefici- aries of deceased policyholders. The total amount of benefits paid by the Sun Life since the first policy was issued in 1871 has now reached 52.604.604.Ul0. ASSETS AND INVESTMENT! Total assets of the Company at the end of the year under review were 31.742.876.000, an Increase of I1ii,8.'50.000 over 1051. These new funds were tliveshd in many public and private enterprises, but .-Nnalpall hi industrial and public uHIlty bonds, and in mortgages. The increase in bond investment and mortgages amounted to 843,252,000 Ind 523,606,000 N- spectlvely. It is Interesting to note that Sun Life investments ineluds 40.000 home mortgage: for I total sum of 8l66.000,000. an average of 34,150 per home. Thus. the Company is playing I prominent part in helping to provide homes for persons of modest means. The interest rite earned during the year was 3.84m. as compared to 3.705 III the previous year. This in- crease. commented Mr. Bourke, was important since any pet- maneni: improvement in the in- terest rate makes additional earnings avlllabls for dividend distribution. thereby reducing the cost of life Insurance to the policyholder. The total surplus and son- tlngeney reserve now amounts in SlI3,li9'l,000. LIFE INSURANCE A NATIONAL ASSET Mr. Bourke mentioned that in all countries where the Sun Life operates. and more par- ticularly in Canada. United States and Great Britain. men and women were providing in- creasingly for their own and family security. This meant proteciinn and peace of mind for more and more people. It also meant more money saved and Invested in national pro- jects; more jobs and goods for more people. In Canada alone more than five million policy!- holders are saving through life insurance, for whom the na- tion's life insurance fund of more than 55 billion: repre- sents a provision for death. re- tirement and other benefits. The fund is also the country's largest single reservoir of long- ferm Investment resources for use in developing the nation's waterways. highways. railroads, public utilities, home building, hospitals. schools, and other branches of Canadian social and business life. A copy of the Sun Life's eom- pleie 1952 Annual Report to Pollcyholders, including the President's review of the Year, is being sent to each policy- holder. or may he obtained from H. C. Bohaker, District Supervisor, Cameron Block, Charlottetown. or rejected, for other reasons. 0.aso6-S 4” use mam” "P 09" Wail. ' OWBRIDGFS TONIC ;(0UGH'SW-C0105 ii fairly rnrlix In llw niuu!i!'
