FIVE-YEAR PROGRA Street Light Program AlreadyBegunin Whitby Members of the Public Utility Commission met with Chairman Robert McNee and his streets com- mittee consisting of Reeve McIn- tyre, Deputy-Reeve Ken Lee, Coun. W. R. Dodd and Mayor H. W. Jer- myn, to look over new street lights installed on Victoria Street and those on trial on Brock Street South, These new lights form part of a five-year street lighting improve- ment plan undertaken by the Com- mission in conjunction with the Town Oouncil. The plan calls for relighting all of Port Whitby this year. This includes elimination of existing lights which have served for many years, and replac! them with modern luminous ones 'with a 200-watt lamp. This program - will ultimately be extended uptown, but it is proposed to change the out- lying districts first. The committee was informed that in connection with Brock Street South lights had been planned on the east side, about 250 feet apart, as there are no Commission poles on the west side, and in addition to obtaining permission on rental basis to use poles of the Bell Tele- phone Co., extensive and expensive tree trimming would have been made necessary. The mayor pointed out that Council recommendations of last year were that lights be in- stalled on the same side as 'the sidewalks, but Supt. Pringle not only maintained that considerable cost would be incurred chargeable ultimately to the town, but that the lights on the east side, furnished sufficient and satisfactory illumina- tion for both sides ¢ the street. At an after meeting it was dgreed that the Commission would furnish in writing to the Council, reasons why the committee's recommenda- tions of last year, had been chang- ed, and full details of all other work in the improvement program to be done. Chairman Jas. Ross, of the PUC, told the committee that last year several efforts were made, without success, to get Coun. C, King and his committee together to show them what was being done. "We are coming to you now, before we spend any more money, to show you what has been done and obtain further instructions." The Commission is obtaining a report from H. B. Tett, lighting ex- pert of the HEPC with recommen- dations to cover the whole town, which with Council approval will be carried out.

Draimin Whitby 497 71a) Insurance The history and development of life insurance was the subject of a most informative classification talk | given to Whitby Rotary Club Tues- day noon at the weekly iuncheon by Rotarian Art Crawford, of the London Life Insurance Company. He particularly stressed the growth the vital part it is playing in the national €onomy and in the pro- tection of thousands of Canadians and their dependents. Of particu- lar note, the speaker said, was the Rapid Growth of Life Detailed toRotarians of life insurance §n Canada and|y in Canada WHITBY DAY BY DAY Accounts of social events and news items of local interest and names of visitors are apprecia- ted. PHONE 703 and industrial bonds; 5 per cent in common and preferred stocks; 10 per cent in mortgages and real estate, 4 per cent in policy loans and 4 percent in cash and mis- cellaneous. Very important was the fact that all investments were strictly governed and closely scru-| tinized by the government. AST SUMS PAID OUT Mr. Crawford also showed that, vast sums are paid out annually to policyholders and their depend- ents. Last year companies vaid out about 100 millions in death fact that while Canada has but one per cent of the world's population, nations of the world, One of these exports, not commouly thought or, is life insurance, for Canada ex- ports insurance to 60 countries, and that companies in other countries send in premiums to Canadian in- surance companies annually in ex- cess of 215 million dollar:, this money being put in use in Can- ada, and actually not much ghnrt iof the domestic premiums. This was a proud record for Canada was established but 75 years ago, the speaker said. WHERE THE MONEY GOES Mr. Crawford gave some figures on what is done with the money policyholders give to insurance companies in the matter of in- cent was invested in Dominion Government bonds, 2.67 per cent in other government and municinal bonds; 17 per cent in public utility she ranks third in the exporting] where the first insurance company | vestments. He said that 31 per| claims and 150 millions to living policyholders. What all this mon- | ey meant to so many Canadians { was hard to visualize, he said. | INTERESTING FACTS | It was stated by the speaker | that the first insurance company | was established in the United | States in 1759 covering Presbyter- | ian ministers and their families and | it was still going. In 1807 the first | agency was established in the | States and in 1835 the first British | | company opened in Quebec. First | Canadian company was establish- ed in 1847 "Companies in Canada have 27,000 employees. There are now 52 companies operated in Can- ada, backed up by some 20 frater- nal organizations. In 1900 policies in force represented $430,000,000. Insurance in force today represen- ted 19 billions. Mr. Crawford was tendered a hearty vote of thanks by a fellow insurance man, Charles King, who said that the address had been highly enlightening. WASHINGTON -- Scuth Caro- lina, the "moonlight and magnolia" state which gave the plantation way of life to Dixie, again bids for leadership in the South. ""The moonlight is still bright and the magnolias bloom as fragrant- ly as ever," writes Herbert Raven- el Sass, famous native' son of the Palmetto State, in the March issue of the National Geographic Maga- zine. "But something more tan- gible compels attention." | Most spectacular "something," he continues, is the Atomic Energy Commission's Savanah River plant, billion - dollar project now building on land where once were pine woods and cotton fields. 'Nothing ever before undertaken by man," says Mr. Sass, "holds 80 much of potential benefit or potential menace for the human race." But even before the atomic age and the coming of "history's mightiest industrial enterprise" to their midst, the author contends. South Carolinians through their own initiative and enterprise had lifted themselves out of the post- Civil War depression that blighted the South. NO CVIL WAR Civil War? There was no such thing in South Carolina, nor was there a war Between the States. The proper name, according to Mr. Sass, is 'Confederate War." In any event, he goes on, South Carolina long ago freed itself from the one-crop dominance of King Cotton. Lush pastures and expand- ing peach orchards. he says, along with humming textile mills, have usurped most of the old King's domains. South Carolina Mixes Mills With Moonlight, Magnolias | Despite the upsurge of other | crops and industry, however, cot- { ton remains South Carolina's prime | money 'crop, and the processing of {cotton is the state's principal in- dustry. But, Mr. Sass explains, | "cotton today can maintain its essential place in the state's econ- omy on much less than half of the 3,000,000 acres formerly planted." South Carolina is divided by the | Fall Line into the Low Country, or coastal plain, and the Up Country, or Piedmont. It is in the Up Coun- try that most of the state's boom- ing textile industry is located. South Carolina leads the Nation |in output of finished cotton woven | goods, turned out by mills in such [cities as Lancaster, Rock Hill, | York, Spartanburg and Greenville.

"Another car (Swales) came | flying through, and headed toward ime. I saw a body fly out of the truck and through the air, Then I helped people lift the truck off Mr. Russell. It had fallen on its side on the driver. Arthur McLaughlin, 874 Grierson Avenue, Oshawa, took the stand to say that he was driving west at the time. Just out of Whitby Rus- sell's truck passed him as did a Buick car (Swaies). Both were travelling at a lively clip. Mec- Laughlin was too far away to see the actual impact but he did see Dundas | the vehicles lurch as a res ** of the crash.
