Protect Your Hardâ€"Earned Savings Despite war, epidemic, panic and depression, life insurance has met every policy obligation promptly and in full. Despite the financial disturbance of the past six years, it has distributed, and continues to disâ€" tribute, to its policyholders and beneficiaries, over $500,000 every working day. Seventyâ€"five per cent. of this money has been, and continues to be, paid to living policyholders; the balance to beneficiaries. _ These policyholders represent 50 per cent. of the electors â€"federal and provincial. Through the institution of life insurance, they have so pooled their resources that their collective interest can withstand attacks that would brmg financial disaster to the individual. HROUGHOUT Canada, life insurance policyholders and beneficiaries should realize the menace to their own and the national welfare that lies in extreme and unjust legislation.

Guardian of "Apples", said William Nicolson at a Kiwanis luncheon ten years ago this week, "are borne on trees, sp:nd most of their live in barrels and are buried in pies.

The only part of an apple that: cannot be eaten is the cors; upon reachâ€" ing that part of the fruit, you may want more, hence the origin of the famâ€" iliar ‘encore‘!

These forces would penalize their savings and impair their investâ€" ments through legislation which cancels public and private debtsâ€"regardless of the debtor‘s ability to pay â€"and which tends to destroy the ownership of public and private property. Life insurance is the greatest coâ€"operative business in Canada. No one doubts its strength and stability. No one questions the prudent and intelligent direction of its affairs. The interests of life insurance policyholders and beneficiariesâ€"as of all other citizens whose savings are invested in one form or another in Canada â€"demand that promises to pay be obâ€" served, when the debtor is able to pay; that hardâ€" earned savings which safeguard the homes and families of the Dominion be protected from unjust legislation, It is the guardian of the hardâ€"earned savings of 3,500,000 men and women in all walks of life.
