Although national income would be increasing, the standard of living by and large would have to Lbe Mr. Nixon described sacrifice as "an essential condition to the maximum war effort, and to a minimum of disâ€" turbance upon the return of a peaceâ€" time environment." Mr. Bryden said the day was close when an old model car would de "a badge of distinction,‘ an old house "a mark of gentflity," and when walking would be "the thing to do." Any further growth in our war effort must therefore come at the expense of our living standards. "Every person must be made to realize," said Mr. Nixon, "that almost everything he buys requires the use of resources which may be converiible to war use, providâ€" ing civilian consumption is curtailed." If the public does not voluntarily deâ€" crease consumption, paris of our war effort may be seriously affected, the speaker felt. Speakers included S. E. Nixon, chieéf of <‘he Research Division of the Dominâ€" ion War Savings Committee, and J. T. RBryden, assistant reasurer of the North American Life Assurance Company, Toronto. Canadians must sacrifice leisure and be prepared to consume less goods and national resources, said Mr. Nixon. Educating the people to this vital need can be a most valuable function of Life Insurance Advertisers, the speaker pointed out. A general understanding of the need would enable Canada to distribute the burden of war financâ€" ing without resort to inflation, he said. Because of the immese war needs, 20% less goods and services were availâ€" awble for Canadian civilians this year as compared with 1939 or 1940, Mr. Nixon stated, and up to now civilian conâ€" sumption had not decreased. "In fact," he said, "there is convincing evidence to the contrary." The situation may be relieved to some extent by using up stocks of reserves, but this can not continue indefinitely, he pointed out. Toronto, May 31â€"(Special)â€"Appeals to Canadians to be prepared to make still greater warâ€"time sacrifices, and the prediction that personal budgets must be cut to he point where "it will be smart to be shabby," were voiced at the opening sessions of the second annual meeting of the Life Insurance Adveriisers Section of Canadian Life Insurance Officers Association, in the Roval York Hotel at Toronto this week. Member of War Savings Committee Addresses Inâ€" surance Men Canadians Must be ® Prepared for More Warâ€"Time Sacrifices‘ "To assist in implementing a finanâ€" cial policy which has avowed intention of relative stability and avoidence of inflation, should be a primary duty," declared â€" Mr. Bryden. "As yet, this savings ideaâ€"the necessity for curtailâ€" ed consumptionâ€"has not been adeâ€" quately brought to the attention of the people of Canada. Many still feel that "George can do it." Many still do not see any personal significance to the requirements. The major probkm is to curtail consumption and to do this, a larger part of increased incomes must be taken out of the income stréam and sterilized so that it is not availâ€" able for ccurrent consumption. That is the principal function of War Savâ€" ings Certificates, War Loans and lfe insurance." Stating that the government cou*:d be assured of the utmost coâ€"operation by life insurance companies in all phases of the war effort, Mr. Bryden directed attention to the fact that Canadian life companies have invested in excess of $450,000,000 in Dominion and Provincial bonds.
