Two years after 1872 when Frank Mason was born, two milet east of the Village of Cartwright, the family moved to Enfield in Darlington Township. After nine years there they moved to Rag- lan and farmed. Mr. Mason always had a soft spot in bis beart for the Raglan district and in later years bad a fîsbing pond there wbere he went for trout-and got them furthermore. The Masons were long natives of this district. Grandfather Ma- son came to this part of the world from Yorkshire England, with bis money in bis belt and a know- ledge of building in bis bead and built the first brick bouse in Dar- lington Township. He lef t bis mark upon the community; the many homes built were bis mem- anial. Gave FaIthful Service After some service in bis early years on the farm and in tbe butchering trade Frank Mason went ta Pedlar People Limited in -1894. He stayed there 46 years and the measure of the company's and the trade's estecm for him was sbown upon bis retirement in 1941 whcn be was presented with a warmly inscribed silver tray. The list of civic organîzations upon wbich Mr. Mason servcd rcads like a roster of most of those extant in the city and in- cluded the municipal council, Public Utilities Commission, Boai"d of Education, Court of Re- vision, Oshawa Housing Com- mission, Suburban Roads Com- mission. He was Mayor in 1918 and during bis career served as chairman of both the P.U.C. and the Board of Education. In addi- tion he was Wardcn of Ontario County in 1917. Oshawa Chamber of Commerce benefited from this veteran civic servant's administrative ability and be was its chairman for many years. He also servcd as a member of the Board of Directors of South Ontario Agricultural So- ciety. Had Definite Views In the year's following bis re- tirement and aftcr lbe had an op- partunity ta sit down and, in re- trospect, survey thc many con- trovýrsia1 issues in which lhe had taken a part, Mn. Mason became somewhat more philosophical about things. Asked wbat hie thought about the burnîng ques- tion of the tracks an King Street and the city's perennial conflict with the C.N.R. hie said that while it was quite evident that the sit- uation was bad-almast unten- able in fact-it should not be for- gotten that Oshawa, in the days of carly development owed a goad deal ta the railway and the fact that it brought in raw ma- tenials and took out manufactur- cd praducts much mare chcaply than could ever have been donc in any athen way. A city such as Oshawa, in his opinion, sbould neyer be afraîd ta borrow maney ta give such things as public buildings and adequate utilities ta its citizens. "Hang the cost and think first of the people," hie said in an in- terview last year. "No city ever cxpànded and got anywbere un- lcss it was willing ta barraw money. Cities are like people la that respect; in order ta make maney you have ta borrow mon- His city, Osbawa, said Mr. Ma- son on tbat occasion, was high in bumanitarian values and resour- ces and judiciaus administration and foresigbt would kcep its fi- nances in shape. Although he did not get out as much as hie would bave liked ia the past years, Mn. Mason did get down town for the odd walk once in a wbile. When hie did it was a much intcrrupted stroîl as friends and cronies would stop bim a dozen times or marc from bis borne on Brock Street and baék again. He also enjoyed the ocea- sional mator trip ta Bowmanville ta visit relatives and friends. Ho neyer lost interest in bis native county being a long standing sub- scriber ta The Statesman and a welcome visiton ta the editor's sanctum. Civic and iridustnial leaders, aId fricnds by tbe score and acquain- tances numbening mare than a bundrcd turned out Friday after- noon ta attend bis funeral. The respect and friendship lie gained duning tbe 60 years bie lived in Oshawa were reflectcd la the numbers of people who at- tended the funeral and made up the cortege ta the place of eni- tombmeat and la the masses of flowers wbich xgerc carricd by marc than 40 friends.

S. Upton, vice-president and managing di- rector of the Dominion Life As- surance Company, said here to- day. "Tbe trend is towards a streng- tbening of financial programs wbicb will last tbroughout a life- time," he told the 6th annual meeting of the Canadian Life In- surance Officers' Association. "~The public, mooreover, is bccom- ing conscious of the fact that the funds entrusted to the life in- surance business belp to strength- en the economnic and social struc- ture of the nation. .. . "Since 1945," he continued, "in- surance companies bave continu- ed to function witb increasing scope and cffectivencss. Life in- surance is based on man's funda- mental desire to protect bis fam- ily. As a resuit, it has unlimited potentialities. So long as our na- tural instincts endure, there will be a need for security in tbe fu- ture that only life insurance can provide." Mr: Upton said that during the Second World War companies in the association subscribed $ 1,500,- 000,000 to war and victory loans. Reviewing the 60 years of the Association's activities, Mr. Upton said that the Association bad or- iginally eight member companies but today its membersbip had in- creased ta 70. He pointed out that there was at tbe time of the or- ganization of the Association $300 millions of life insurance in force in Canada and today there was $19 billions in force. He said that the public accept- ance insurance men were enjoy- ing today refleets the fact that Canadians now know more about the simple facts of life insurance tban ever before. "The mind of man," saîd Mr. Upton, "bas lifted us fram the flieker of the gaslight ta the flash of the atomic explosion. We bave solved many problems. But wc stand uncertainly-under the 45,- 000 foot shadow of a mushroom cloud.1 "The scientific wonder of the atom bhas been used thus far for spectacular destruction, but tbere seems to be no question of its potentialities as a constructive power which, if properly con- trolled, can raise the standard of living throughout the world. It is the intention of this association to contribute ta the continuing spread of personal and family security and be able to satisfac- torily meet any relevant problemn the future may hold." Mrs. C.
