Chief among his recommenda- tions are (1) That the control of Association be taken over by the Provine (2) That competition in the insurance field should be fostered by every means in the power of the Governnient. If these are carried out, the insur- ance companies would have to show good and sufficient reasons before advancing rates instead of making arbitrary and unjustifi- able increases as they do now. In Mr. Justice Magten's report it is stated that the premium in- come of all fire insurance com- panies in Ontario for 1947 amounted to $13,500,000 and the losses upon property insured by these companies was $8,500,000.

From his wonderful fund of information regarding our feathered friends, he drew many interesting facts with which were mingled touches of humor and homely philosophy, making an entertainment both educative and pleasing. Mr. Hobson made a strong plea for grealer protection for the birds, not so much because of the joy they give to life but for their tremendous economic value. Any person observant of the things in nature about him must agree with Mr. Hobson as to the diminution in the number of birds and the corresponding growth of insect pests, formerly held in check by the birds. By protection we can halt this de- struction of bird life, and the only ; way to secure protective measures is by an enlightened Public sentiment. Thoughtless- jness and indifference, more than cruelty, are responsible for the jacrifice of so many useful birds. }Lectures such as Mr. Hobson's are calculated to appeal to the best side of human nature-- whether in adults or children-- and if. they could be more widely heard it would not be long before an aroused public opinion would make an_insistent demand for the protection\ of . those feathered to Whom we owe so much, i I Cigarette Smoking Increasing Rapidly Thirty-nine billion cigarettes were produced in the U.S. last year---and, so far as the Depart- ment of Agriculture has been able to ascertain, practically all will be used in that country, as Some Phone Figures In connection with its appli- cation for permission to increase vates, the Bell Telephone Go. has issued figures dealing with diff- erent departments of operation during the years 1913-1917.
