Anfield in an address to the Prince Rupert Junior Chamber of Commerce at its . ladles' night meeting last night. Citing museums as "our heritage," Mr. Anfield said the record of the past Is the key to the future and "It would be a crime not to preserve here a record of the past in our Pacific Northwest." The history of this area, he said, was maifily Indian history since the record of the white man goes back only about 100 years. The Indian history, he said, is most important because.

Members were asked to donate cakes and cookies for the project. During the business session, the group endorsed a motion by the King Edward P-TA asking the city to Install a sidewalk on McBride Street In the Eleventh Avenue area, for protection of youngsters walking to school. E. Bartlett was appointed to the P-TA bursary committee and Dr. Morris Wayman was named to represent Booth on the. proposed P-TA film rating project. The group decided to carry on the soup-lunch program at the school until the end of the month, after hearing reports on the continued popularity of the projeet. Mrs. W. Bowes, Mrs. R. Farmer, Mrs. M. Lemon and Mrs. E. Becker were appointed a nominating committee to prepare for the election of officers, scheduled for the May meeting. The meeting also heard a report by Mrs. J. T.

Metropolitan's Life insurance in force, at the end of 1953, totalled more than S56 billion. The number o people covered under all forms of Metropolitan policies reached a record high of over 37 million. The assets of the Company, which help guarantee the fulfilment of its obligations, increased by $719,000,000, and reached $12,312,000,000 at the close of 1953. . . Dividends to policyholders during the year reached an all-time high of $214,829,000. The interest rate earned by Metropolitan investments, after deducting investment expenses, increased to 3.31 (compared with 3.21 for 1952), and stood at 3.09 after the United States Federal Income Tax. Mortality continued at a low rate. Expenses increased moderately, largely because of the increased volume of business. In citing the 1953 accomplishments, we wish to pay particular tribute to the 48.000 men and women in the Metropolitan organization who have made these results possible. !

We in the Life insurance business arc particularly conscious of the effects of inflation, which bear so heavily on the thrifty and those dependent on fixed incomes. All efforts to control this danger should receive our fullest support. In the year ahead, business will be more competitive, but this is no cause for concern. Competition provides the same goods at lower prices, or better goods and services at the same price. Canada and the United States have grown to their present outstanding positions on the basis of competition in a free market. We are passing through a readjustment period, and have been for a number of months, but fundamentally Canada and f the United States are strong. We have, far and away, the greatest productive capacity of any countries in the world. More than this, the people of Canada and the United States have not lost their fundamental traits of thrift, initiative, and faith in God. Our two countries will go to much greater heights of prosperity in a peacetime economy than ever could be achieved in the midst of war. Metropolitan Highlights of 1953 During 1953, Metropolitan's gain in Life insurance in force was substantially larger than was ever previously recorded by Metropolitan or any other Life insurance company in any one Moro bonoftU to wor people were paid by Metropolitan in 19S3 than have ever been paid by any Life insurance company in a single year. Payments to policyholders and beneficiaries amounted to $1,029,000,000. When it is realized that Metropolitan's benefit payments are only a portion of those of the Life insurance industry as a whole, one can readily visualize the tremendous, stabilizing force that the people of Canada ami the United States have built for themselves through Life insurance and related coverages. All in all, 1933 was an outstanding year in your Company's operations. In most respects, it was the best in Metropolitan's 86-year history. In the light of the high level of economic activity in Canada and the United States and the ability of our Field organization, this is not surprising. We can take pride in reaching new heights in service to the peoples of our two countries. Economic Conditions In retrospect, 1933 was a year of transition. Uppermost in the minds of all was the cessation of hostilities in Korea. Nevertheless, we fully realize that our goal of a world at peace is far from won, and it is incumbent upon us to continue to remain militarily strong. On the domestic front, a number of influences have been at work to materially reduce the inflationary forces, which for so many years have been driving "ultr centres across camma lii Mr on Lon"' elec- in the annual CN Telegraphs' !n tram-Canada five-pin bowling , si iHents on r ane1nOon,.,0urney March 20' J :4- a noml- Kcn Mcintosh will captain the il a voters' lis: Prince Rupert team which wjll i i election" to ,,e Ruoerf first entry In the j..l rrht aid- annual event.
