TITLES
Efforts
are
made
occasionally
to
revive
the
granting
of
titles
to
Canadians
by
the
King
on
the
advice
of
the
Canadian
government,
as
was
the
eustom
prior
to
the
war.
One
such
effort
has
just
been
ihatle
by
trying
to
nave
a
committee
of
the
house
of
commons
make
recommendations
in
regard
to
it.
Happjly
the
house
voted
down
the
proposal
and
also
it
was
announced
that
not
one
member
of
the
Mackenzie
King
government
was
in
favor
of
it.
This
is
a

outcome

SURPLUS
EARNINGS
The
earnings
surpassed
those
of
the
previous
year
by
$387,000
and
amount
to
$49.84
per
$1000
of
assets.
The
new
paid-for
business
exceeded
that
of
the
previous
year
by
$7,291,698.
Representing
an
increase
for
the
year,
of
$36,080,000.
Assets
represent
the
book
value
of
the
Company's
securities
and
would
appear
substantially
larger
if
current
market
values
were
used.
The
increase
for
the
year
is
$8,850,000.
An
increase
of
more
than
$1,10000,0
over
the
previous
year,
which
includes
a
Special

Dividend
of
approximately
$700,000.

the

reduced.
New
