The financial report, as presented by the sec'y-treasurer, A. E. May- cock was very encouraging to the leaders, who are grateful and ap- preciative of the efforts of the Scout Committee supporting them. Mrs. Clarence Greentree, who is retiring this year from the office of president of the Scout Committee, acted as chairman for the meeting. She will have as her successor, Mrs. Gordon Robinson, who was unable to be present. Mr. Maycock was returned as sec- retary-treasurer for another term. Both Scoutmaster and Cubmaster, also Assistant Scoutmaster, attend- ed the meeting. 'There is great need for a Cub- master or a Cub-mistress to assist with these groups.

That there is a definite need for a strong Women's Auxiliary to work with the Neighborhood Association (Recreation Association) here, was one of the matters which came up for discussion at a meeting of the Central Council held at the CRA recently. An appeal is being launched among the ladies to form a group that will work along with and augment the various projects that are being undertaken in this Community. A chance to clean out the base- ment of its accumulation of papers, and at the same time, assist the local scout troop, will be presented here on Saturday, Feb. 17, when the scouts will hold a paper drive.

ARRANGED K , Feb, 13 (AP) -- A world Moslem confer- ence resolved last night that an act of 'aggression aainst any Moslem country should be considered ag- greision against all Moslem coun- MOSLEM PACT arachi, Pakistan (Sun Life New Business Is At New Peak Montreal, Feb. 13.--Four hundred and forty-one million dollars of new life insurance was issued by the Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada in 1950, the largest amount of new business written by any Canadian life insurance com- pany during the year, and over $68 million .(184 per cent) more than the total for the preceding year. A further increase in policyholders' dividends effective April 1, 1951, has been announced by George W. Bourke, president, in the company's 80th annual report just released. The volume of business written during 1950 was greater than any of recent years and represents the substantial total of $1,736,000 for each working day. The Sun Life report reveals the very strong position of the com- pany and the continuing expansion of its business and services. The Group department issued over $98 million of new Group business in 1950 compared with $62 million in 1949, to bring total Group business now in force to $1,085,000,000, an increase of 13.8 per cent. Total life insurance in force with the com- pany now amounts to $4,462,000,000 or $276 million (6.6 per cent) more than a year ago. The business in force in the various countries where thé company operates is dis- tributed 41 per cent in Canada, 38 per cent United States, 12 per cent Great Britain, and 9 per cent other countries. The Sun Life now main- tains 150 offices throughout North America, the British Isles, the West Indies," Latin America, South Africa, India, and the Far East. Payments to Sun Life policy- holders in 1950 amounted to $121,- 476000 bringing to $2,361,860,000 the total benefits paid since the company's first policy was issued in 1871. Each working day the Sun Life pays out approximately half a million dollars. These payments come at a time when the need is greatest and may be considered a measure of the service which the company is rendering Mr. Bourke points out In his review of the year. Assets of the Sun Life increased during 1950 by $70 million, and now stand at $1,587,000,000, 73 per cent of which is invested in gov- ernment, municipal, public utility and industrial bonds. Mortgage loans, reflecting the trend in home building, showed an increase of $31 million for the year, bringing the total to $188 million or 12 per cent of total assets. The combined sur- plus and contingency reserve of the company now amounts to $103,- 300,000. The rate, of interest earned on the assets in 1950 was 3.61 per cent as against 348 per cent in 1940 and 3.30 per cent in 1948. Mr. Bourke, in commenting on the value of life insurance in the fight against inflation, stressed that life insurance premiums, while serving to provide protection for individuals and families, "also add to savings which, in turn, benefit the nation as a whole through in- vestments for essential purposes. He offered five suggestions which he regarded as important counter- moves against inflation: (1) Purchase only what is neces- sary. (2) Increase productivity by greater efficiency and maximum effort. (3) Finance defence and other necessary national expendi- tures on the pay-as-you-go prin- ciple. (4) Avoid wasteful govern- ment expenditures and duplication of service. (5) Increase personal savings. Referring to personal sav- ings, he remarked that during 1950 the increased cost of commodities and the greater individual need for more life insurance in a period of rising prices had caused many people to purchase policies where the insurance element rather than the savings element predominated. In a period of inflationary trends, he said, it is important that in- dividual insurance protection be in- creased, but it is equally important that saving through life insurance be encouraged. The average Sun Life policy issued in 1950 was for $4460 as compared to $2,680 ten years ago. 'wii Mr. Bourke concluded his review with a reference to the position of life insurance in the world of to- morrow. Life insurance, he said, is unique in that it provides the only means for the immediate creation of an estate for the protection of one's dependents. The function of the life insurance company is to furnish its product and its service on the soundest possible basis and at the lowest possible cost, These responsibilities have been recog- nized and, for generations, life in- surance has met its obligations in spite of wars, epidemics, inflation and deflation.

U.K. Fathers To Get Break London--(CP) -- British fathers, the fellows who usually "shell out" for the many special annual events, are to have a day all to themselves as Canada has had for years. An organization known as the Father's Day Association has de- cided something should be done to cheer up the "old man," by en- Soursgwg the giving of suitable ts. G. H. Redfern, secretary of the 'new. association, admits the idea is primarily designed to boost trade. Subscribers, he said, were mainly manufacturers of articles "fathers might welcome such as pipes, pens and propelling pencils. "There is no humbug about this association," Mr. Redfern said. "The idea is to devote one day each year to the interests and welfare of fathers. But I am not saying that Xe will all go to church on Father's ay."

One does, however, suspect that Mr, Mosher has been relax their efforts to place within the means of all men and women the opportunity to build a sound financial future for themselves and their families through their own independent effort. Life insurance also is of great economic import- ance to the community and to the nation, Premiums paid by policy- holders represent their savings and as such are a vital contribution to the welfare and development of the country ii which they live. In the form of investments, these savings flow into government and muni- cipal channels, and industrial and business enterprises. Each life in- surance policyholder, in voluntary co-operation with all others and by his own efforts, thus benefits both himself and his community. In the case of the Sun Life, Mr. Bourke said, 33 cents of every dollar of assets is invested in government bonds, 44 cents in bonds and stocks of industrial, public utility and other business enterprises, and 15 cents in home building, farm de- velopment, and in the securities of cities and towns.

His Hybrid Geese, descendants of a Saskatchewan wild goose mother, guard the farm and children and spread an alarm the minute a stranger appears. Medicine And Art In New Combine Toronto--(CP)--Art and medicine may appear to have little in com- mon, but at the University of To- ronto they are being combined in an usual manner. Unique in Canada is a course in art as applied to medicine in which students are prepared for the job of reproducing on canvas or in sketches objects and techniques im- portant in the field of medicine. The sketches and paintings they produce after they graduate will be used in a varied number of ways. They will illustrate medical text books, work in visual education de- partments of medical schools, in re- search institutes, hospitals, clinics, public health lepartments and pharmaceutical houses. There are eight students in the course at present--seven of them women. Five will graduate this year. Minimum entrance require- ment is grade 13 with some training in art, but the majority of students have their bachelor's degree or have been graduated from art college. Value of their work may be illus- trated by the problem of recording aspects of operations. 'here a photograph would be cluttered up with gauze bandages and instru- ments, the drawing or pajnting can be used to capture only the necessary features, To do this, the students must get a thorough knowledge of anatomy, histology and pathology. They take the same course in these subjects as medical students and write the same examinations. They atend university for three years before they are qualified to handle the task of recording many of the finer sides of the medical profession.

In con- vincing others, of this unsupported belief, he has probably convinced himself, The progress of industrialization as an isolated item might appear to support Mr. Mosher's optimistic pronouncements. But it isn't an isolated item, and stubborn facts insist on intruding. (The fact is that the increased production is not as spectacular as it appears' when related to such other factors as that population has increased | faster than production, and the ' work- force faster than populations while production per individual has de- clined. Increase wages for this in- creased work force; put this new buying power on a market already reduced by lowered per-capita pro- duction and the increase of popu- lation, other than workers, and what must happen? Not even Mr. Mosher can convince us that any- one is likely to sell a restricted vol- ume of goods at prices less than a substantial number of people are ready to pay; or that his workers, with more money in their pockets, aré likely to buy less. Yet either one or both of these impossibles must happen if Mr. Mosher's belief is to be substantiated that you can con- tinue to increase wages without in- creasing prices. But--are-we, in turn, mis-stating facts? Just recently the Dominion Bureau of Statistics released some figures bearing on the matter. Pro- duction, for Instance. Over the period of 1946 to 1949 National Production, in terms of constant dollars, had an increased physical value of 6%. That is the enormous- ly increased production Mr. Mo- sher likes to talk about. Is that big? It is a 6% gain spread over three years. Remember that #t is generally accepted that a gain of 2% per year compounded is the sign of a healthy economy.
