he leaned back in his rickety chair looking at triel- piece of paper for fully a minute he smiled to hirnslf iri a manner that told that he secretly admired his ability as a writer a sudden yell from the composing room brought him out of his reverie there were more proofs he dropped his paper aimlessly on the copy desk and went on the errand he delivered the proofs to the proof readers returned to his desk where he found additional copy and took it to the printers he- sauntered back through the composing room chat ting with first one printer and then an other asking unusual questions and get

firing him in this case he hoped cassidy would appear it would be a- pleasure to fire html he would not let that long lanky individual get out of his offense that easily he would never forget if he

594000000 last year alone our payments were 93000000 an amount exceeding the total assurances written in 1922 we may well rejqice over the magnitude and importance of the social service which the com pany is performing during the past year life assurance has been tested as perhaps never before and it has with- stood the trial triumphantly so far as i am aware not one life company on the continent has had to dose its doors a wonderful record- in canada we can claim with pride that even since confeder- tion not one dominion licensed company has ever failed it will be noticed that in addition to the surplus of 16000000 over all liabilities and capital stock we have a contingency reserve of 4700- ooo to provide for possible shrinkage in mort gages and other real estate investments our reserves have been calculated on the same strong basis as last year although our investments payable in american currency greatly exceed our liabilities in that currency we have treated both as on a par taking no credit for the jpremium on american funds our liabilities under contracts in other currencies also are included at a total greater than required at the prevailing rates of exchange our holdings of stocks have been valued on the basis laid- down by the dominion department of insurance which is practically the same as that adopted for all companies by the national con vention of insurance commissioners of the united states in new investments we have favoured high grade bonds the yield on which is now very attractive our purchases of canadian government bonds during the year amounted to 23000000 the profits paid or allotted to policyholders amounted to over 26000000 or over u20 per if nt of the total annual premium income in the light of these figures the report is indeed an excellent one and what of the future no one believes that the depression will last for ever it is impossible to say just when the turn will come but with the vast natural resources of this continent
