FRED: Insurance companies are operat- ed for the people, aren't they? FRANK.- Yes, wlth aver four million men and women holding poicies life insurance has become Canada's greatest co-operative business. Over 93% of ail policies are for $5,000 or less. Over a million Canadian familles came within this huge circie of protection. FARMERS' FRIEND Farm interests and farmn prabiemns are the first concern of Harry J. Boyle, newly-appomnted Ontario Farm Broadcast Commentator for the CBC. Mr. Boyle has been farmer, store clerk, newspaper editor and broadcaster in rural Ontario ail his life. He was born at St. Augustine, Ontario, 26 years ago, has -devoted himseif ta the interests of farm communities ever since schooi days. He is heard weekdays from CBL and CBO at 12.30 p.m. EDT, having succeeded Don Fairbairn now * serving with the R.C.A.F. BAN ON METALS FOR FARM EQUIPMENT The recent order of the War- time Prices and Trade Board re the conservation of metai in the manufacture of farma machinery, while banning the use of metalsI in new farmn equipment and parts, and regulating the use of certain metals in the making of other farm equipment, makes it clear that the simple abject is ta con- serve for war use such metal in the manufacture of specified items as may be considered un- essentiai, and that no restriction is made in the use of metals that are absolutely necessary for ef- ficient farmn operations in the nation's war production pragramn. The iist of items in whjch metal is prohibited, except for reinforcing strips, struts, or join- fing hardware, comprises over 30 items of farma equipment. There are aiso other items on the list. In a further iist of farm equip- ment, the use of rubber, alumi- num, antimony, chromium, co- balt. copper, lead, magnesium. nickel, tin, vanadium, zinc, cad- mium, and fioybdenum is pro- hibited, except where such metais are essentiai for proper operation. The iist of farrm equipment in- cludes cultivators, harrows and discs. hoes, land roîlers, ploughs, scuffiers, weeders, seed drills, planters, binders, threshers,ha loaders and rakes, mowers. creanI separators, miiking machines,. FRED: Do many people naw have ta be convinced that it's a good way ta save? FRANK: No, mast people prefer ta save with insarance because its reguiarity "makes them save", as they say. And as for safety, the last war, the 'flu epi- demic and the depression proved haw life insurance stands up and always pays a hundred cents on thse dollar promptly. pumps, wind milîs, fanning equip- ment, grain clearers, and many other items. For example, rubber is permit- ted in tubing and fittings for hand and power sprayers, for bowi rings of cream. separators, and rubber wearing of milking ma- chines, and so on. Tin, zinc, and copper are permitted where their use is necessary, the general idea being ta protect health, ta pre- vent injury, and ta facilitate the efficient operation of the equip- ment involved. Provision has been made for the Administrator to grant special permission ta manu- facturers ta use up during 1942 such processed metais as are now an hand and intended for the pur- poses covered by the Order. Increased WooI Needs Canadian wool requirements have been substantiaiiy increased in the iast few years due iargely ta the manufacture of military ciothing, and with recent war de- velopments threatening ta re- strict imports the quantity and quality of the home product as- sumes greater importance. It is quite iikely that the annual pro- duction of Canadian wool wiil ex- perience a sharp increase. When this does take place the present wooi grading regulations provide the groundwork for an efficient marketing system. With the introduction of wool grading regulations in Canada in 1941 the volume of wool graded reached 8,783,223 pounds compar- ed with 4,058,754 pounds in 1940 when grading was stili on an op- tional basis. The 1941 figure in- cludes most of the shorn fleece w-oil handied through commer- cial channels. The grading regu- latians do flot apply ta pulied wooi, washed wooi or fleece wooi used in home handicrafts. Analysis of the 1941 figures shows that o! the total graded, 27.4 per cent consisted o! fine and fine medium grades which are suitabie for the manufacture o! fine civilian woalien goods. The medium and law medium grades which are largely suitable for miiitary requirements amounted ta 56.4 per cent. The low stapie and coarse grades comprised 8.4 per cent and reject grades totalled 7.8 per cent. During the past year grading wxas carried out in a total of tw;enty-six registered Waal ware- houses located at suitable points throughout the Dominion. From these warehouses manufacturers can buy Canadian grawn woal wxhich is free from rejects and graded according ta length and f'ineness o! stapie as weil as de- gree o! shrinkage. HERE'S AN EASY WAY TO KEEP BEEF During warm weather, if bec! is ta be kept in the home for a day or twa befare being cooked, it is a wise precautian, particular- iy if the refrigerator is not a! the best, ta adopt the treatment knoxvn as "marinating". The pro- FRED: I've heard that insurance invest- ments total two and a quarter billions. What happens toalal that money? FRANK: In peacetime, it's put ta work ail over the country, financîng homes, farms, highways, schools and industry generally. You can't look anywhere without fanding life insurance dollars at work, making jobs for mare people. The following is the poem re- ferred to in aur last issue, which was written by David W. Foley, B.A., St. Catharines, which as- sîsted him in being awarded the Rand Memorial Schaiarship for literary menit at McMaster Uni- versity: I know I'm late for church, and yet I cannot hurry, for, as I cross the market square, Exhilaration fis me, and I must linger there. The sun shines bright on rust-red brick, And soft grey stane, and bare expanse Of grey-white cancrete, whiie on high Bright flags, and brighter clouds, stand out Against the bright sprîng sky. The pigeons flash their clacking wings, And rise and fali, and proudiy strut In iridescent beauty-I See pleasant folk, ail dressed for church, Smile as they pass each other by. Then from the caurt-house chimes the hour! Clear tenar notes, and presentiy, As one by one they chorus in The church belis make a merry din, - St. George's and St. Catherine's, Each their matin praises tell, And farther off, amid the trees, Deep-throated sounds St. Thomas' bell. And then 1 am no longer in The empty market o! a small Ontario town, But in same storied square of Old Worid memory, Whase spirit, with the sound a! belis, cames mingling down. cess cansists of preparing a mari- nade, or preservative mixture, made up a! biending vinegar or lemon juice with olive, corn, or other vegetabie ail in the pro- portion of anc part vinegar ta two or three parts ail. A littie pepper or a dash o! mustard may be add- cd if dcsired. Place the meat in a covercd earthenware dish, not a metal dish on account of the acid, and tharaughly coat the beef with the marinade. which may be applied handily with a pastry brush. Rub weil inta the crevices o! the meat. This process nat only pratects the meat tram the air and hcips ta preserve it, but th.e acid makes it more tender and the ail impraves the flavour. If the marinade is intended only for so!tening the fibres and making the meat more tender, the proportions o! the mixture should be reversed, that is, twa or three parts a! vinegar ta one part of ail. The time and expense involved in this kind of preservative can- not compensate for iack of re- frigeration. It is likely, howevcr, until local re!rigerating units are available in this district and in the absence a! tin, the above ad- vice may, with profit, be em- ployed. FRED: But what have they been doing since the war started? FRANK: Man, that's a real story. In- surance policybalders have a larger investment in war boans than any other group in the country. They've put 300 million dollars into Victory Bonds- enaugh ta build 12,000 Spitflres. ""I wartime as in peacetime, life insurance money is the people's money working and fighting for the people" e More Canadians than ever before are turning ta life insurance. The amount of protection held by thc people of this country ta safeguard the future security of tbemselves and their families bas stcadily in- creased. There bas been at the same time a persistent decline in lapsed palicies. Tiese facts reflect growing public confidence and satisfac- tion ini life insurance performance. I can praperly repart another twelvc montbs of successful administra- tion by thc forty-eigbt life insurance companies in Canada - British, United States and Canadian-members af aur Association. We are stewards of the interests of aver four million Canadian men and wamen and aur business affects thc wbole eccnomic life of the Dominion. The aperations of aur member campanies bave been con- ducted in tbe people's interest witb that full consideration for indi- vidual policyholders and beneficiaries wbichb las cbaracterized this co-operative business of life insurance. It is nearly three years since the war began. In that period, reflecting the patriotic spirit of policyholders, life insurance companies operat- ing in Canada have been the largest subscribers ta thc Dominion's war loans in wbich they have invested over 300 million dollars. During that period, carrying out thc terins of aur palicies, we have returned nearly 500 million dollars ta Canadian policyholders and beneficiaries -five bundred thausand dollars every working day ta relieve distress, comfort aid age, tide over emergencies. Moreover, life insurance premium dollars, saved out of current incarne, bave been a factor in curtaiing unnecessary buying. Tbey bave thus assisted in curbing inflation. In wartime as in peacetime, life insurance continues ta be a mainstay of private and public life. Neyer bas it been mare empbaticaily a busi- ness of the people's maney, working and fighting for the people. - G. W.
