One of the demands of the barons in Ill! was that the court of common pleas should not follow the Kins, es was then the practice, but should sit at some certain place. The Judges settled at Westminster. and the historic Westminster Hall wss built. In and around Westminster the lawyers. s4 s. gradually developing profes- sion, began to settle in hostels. The speaker went on to dcscrlbtl the rise and fall of the Knights Ternplsrs durlrll thl 14th "hi" us-y, who had established them- selves in what was once s h0- msrfs-land between Westmdnster and the old city of London. and which subsequently after years of litigation with rival orders, passed into the lsrwyers’ possession. and became the Ii‘ of the Inns of Court with the ancient church of the Templars snd the tombs of the Crusaders remaining intact until the recent war. Qlniperial Life Expands New peak records in service and growth were made b! The Imperial Life Assursnce Company of Can- ada. as reported by J. C. Parker. President. st the Company's fifty- second Annual Meeting. Insurance and retirement annuities amount- ing to 872,304,000 were purchased lfrcm the Company during the yes-r - a total almost $3,000,000 greater thsn the insurance obtain- ed in 1.947. which was the previous record year in the Company's history. “This record." stated Mr. Parker, "reflects not only the high national income in those countries in which the Company does busi- ness, but also reflects public con- fidence al well as the high caliber cf the sales force resulting from the Company's more intensive training programme." Total insur- ance 1n force in the Company now stands at $526,914,000. the half-billion milestone in the Company's history having been- passed last June. "The Company's business in force." iMr. Parker stated. "has practical- ly doubled in the last ten years of operations." An analysis of the invested u- sets of The Imperial Life shows that of each dollar invested Me are in the bonds of the govern- ments of those countries in which the Company operates, 14c are in provincial and municipal bonds, 0c in public utility bonds. 6c in rail- way snd corporation bonds. 0o in policy loans, 0c in mortgagee. 4c in stocks. and lo in cash, Head Office and reel estate owned. Dur- ing the year the downward trend in lntArest rate was halted snd tho Company's interest rate show- ed an upward trend to 8.5%. frsctionslly higher than in i947. ‘The trend in the rates of inter- est resilssble on securities in the markets of the world gives us some confidence that we will secure m incrllse in the rate of interest on our total funds in future veers." laid Mr. Parker. Benefit payments in the yes: totalled “JMMIC.

In keeping with the general ex- law courts. He stressed chiefly. however, the devotion amounting almost to religious fervor in which professional standards are maln- tained, and the spirit of Christianity which has permeated British law principles from the earliest days. As an instance. he said that the opening of the Fall Assizes is still accompanied by impressive religious services. In Ontario this practice is now being followed, and he would like to see it intro- duced in this Province. He quoted Justinian’: three precepts as em- bcdylng the ideals of the profess- ion: "To live honestly; not to hurt anyone in thought or deed; and to render unto everyone his due." Photographs taken by Mr. Bent- ley some years ago of the Inns of Court in their historic setting were exhibited. along with s. book- let recently published in Iondon. showing the devastation caused by bombs during the war. Chairman's Appeal The chairman made an eloquent appeal for assistance from the Prince Edward Law Society in the work cf restoring the ruined buildings. He coupled this appeal for material aid with an inspiring allegory on the building of a new postwar Temple of Civilization. symbolic of law's ideals, and based on the principle of goodwill. He asked for the prayers and bene- diction of the clergymen present in aiding in this work of re- habilitation, spiritually and mater- ially, to the, end that it would serve its highest purposes. Mr. Bentley, who has completed his fiftieth year as s. practising number of the Bar. added some remlnlscenses of his own which were heard with much interest and appreciation. Law societies throughout Can- sds. are aiding in the work of re- storing the hns of Court, and from the interest shown at last night's function it was evident that the Island organization is in full sympathy with the appeal. perisl Life policyholders continue st s most favourable rate. The Company continues to be an active participant, with others of the life insurance business. in support of medical research and the health activities recommended by the Public Health Committee of the Canadian Life Insurance Officers Asssociation." - 50,000 School Children Suffer Health Neglect MONTREAL. Jail. 2'1 - (OP) — Health authorities claimed today that 50,000 school children in Montreal suffer from neglect. Backing this statement are Dr. R. Percy Vivian, chairman oI the Health and Social Medicine De- partment of McGill University. and Dr. Adelard Groulx, City Health Department chief. Dr. Vivian has just coznPlflled I school health survey. showing that inadequate diet, dental defects and physical defects are wide- d among the 120,000 children attending’335 public schools in Montreal. Dr. Oroulx corroborated his findlhqs. Ilbnphasiidng the gravity of the problem the city Health Depart- ment leader said at least 45 per cent of defective children are not being treated. “It is the responsibility of the parents to see to correction of these defects." said Dr. Croulx. "Many parents do not give the necessary attention to notion re- ceived about their children and our nurses often have to take the children for treatment them- selves." In some cases. both doctors said. economic circumstances and poor housing conditions were the cause of parents’ failure to look efter children's health. But in many cases parents are able to care fos- their children but don't. FIRST [Congratulations are extended to Ml’. and Mrs. Ivan Kennedy, Brad- alblne, upni the arrival of s baby boy fsi the P. E.

Mr. Drew said he wished to study the Throne Speech further before mak- ing his address and Prime Minister Imus St. Laurent agreed. Dcbau To Continue Mr. St. Laurent also indicated the government will allow continu- ing the debate through next week, though it hsd planned to proceed Monday with the bills to cement the uiilon of Newfoundland and Can- ada.

The two weeks following that- Monday, Feb, 7, to Friday, Feb. 1B —wlli be devoted to the Newfound- land legislation; As the chamber- opened this second day of the new session, a raft of government reports alc- cumuls-ted since the pmrogatlon were tabled and Mr. St. Laurent told the chamber he will villi President Truman in Washing- ton Feb I1 and 12 to “discuss matters of common interest to our two countries as neighbors." Launching the usually-peppery called for early development of the St. Lawrence waterways scheme as an "enduring example" of the ability of two great nations to de- velop harmoniously their natural resources. It would give Windsor, 0nt., and other Great Lakes ports cheap and short access to s. vast new market for their products. Mr. Demcrs said abolition of ap- peals to the Privy Council, forecast in the Throne Speech read at yes- terday's formal opening, will be "a giant step toward complete auton- omy for Canada."
