ORES ON W ON WORK OF NAVY LEAGUE OF CANADA sam Harris, Toronto, President | of the League, at Rotary Club Luncheon. ' 1n 2 splendid address before the | members of the Kingston Rotary iC lub, at their noon-day luncheon on i | Friday, Sam Harris, of Toronto, pre- sident of the Navy League of Canada | outlined the work the league has | been carrying on and has under way. | It was a story that gripped the hearts of his hearers and the work of the | league received the warm commenda- | tion of the members of the club. | Mr. Harrig referred to the forma- | 'tion of the Navy League in1917 and | told about the wonderful strength it ! had been to the nation in the trying | days of the great war. | Now the war over, the ques- | tion was asked many as to why | the League should be continued? | What justification was there for con- | tinuing the League? Why should the | people give it support? The speak- | er sald that this was a fair question { on the face of it, but the war left many responsibilities while the scars | of the war were still with us. "One of the worst scars to my mind as chairman of the relief com- mittee, is the caring for the widows and children of the men who made the supreme sacrifice in the war. Many families were left without a breadwinner." The speaker then related many touching stories about the sacrifices made by men who joined the navy and-Jought for their king and coun- tr and added: "The Navy League Is | doing for these people what the Re- tary club is endeavoring to do for people who need their help. We are endeavoring to help these people and 'make their life a little more pleasant. Hf the veins of these childrem runs the blood of these men. You cannot build a nation or an empire out of a | better life. We should care for these people and if we are trustees we will recognize our responsibility and see to it that these children do not want for food or for an education to fit them for the battle of life. We must gee to it that they are not handicap- ped because their father died for our liberty. For no other reason than this I think the Navy League justi- fles its existence." The speaker gtated that when-the League was formed it was found that there were many sea ports | there were no places fit for men off the vessels to stay at and make a home, These men, who were on the vessel perhaps nine months in the year, should be provided with com- fortable homes. Every effort pos- sible was being made to provide thege men with places where they could stay and be cared for and where they could leave the city as good a man as when he entered. The object of this League is to see that these men are given a good chance. Mr. Harris read several letters dealing with cases under the care of the League: Referring especially to the Sea Cadets of'Kingston, he stated that the corps had been given a very fine start and deserved the support of every citizen. An opportunity was given the lads to train. And even if the boy did not go to séa he would be a far better man as a result of the training he had received. He was given every chance to develop phy- sically, mentally and morally. "Your best line of defence, if" we are ever attacked again are the boys," declared the speaker, "so look after them. The Navy League stands for empire security." , Following the address, Rotarian H. E. Pense paid a warm tribute to Mr. Harris for the part he has play- ed in carrying on the work and on his motion the speaker was tendered a hearty vote of thanks. Rotarian Pense stated that the work of the Navy League merited the support of the Rotary Club and expressed the hope that the club would give help. President Guild tendered the vote of thanks to Mr. Harris, and in so doing stated that he wal of Whe opin- ion that the club should support the Navy League and that he would bring the matter before the directors of the club. The club received a letter from the public school nurse, Miss Lovick, In which she stated that the teachers expressed thelr thanks to the clulf for having fitted out some of the children with glasses, There are more chil- dren who require attention and the club will take up the matter. President Guild introduced Capt. A. D. McConnell, hospital overseer at the Portsmouth penitentiary, as a new member and. he was given a warm welcome. _ Next Friday Rotarian Edward Weller will address the club, taking as his subject, "The Evolution in Agriculture." -. On Friday, Feb. 8th, the club will hold an evening session, which will take the form of a Father and Daughter's Banquet. The daughters will be asked to contribute to the programme. Guests introduced at the roll call included Richard Brown, Asa -Huycke, F. H. Gillespie and Capt. J. McDonald.

Report Shows Results of Unusually Good Year's Operations. The forty-ninth annual report of the London Life Insurance Company, | just issued, shows the results of an unusually good year's operations. The volume of new business sets a new high mark in London Life his- tory, being almost $45,000,000 and bringing the total insurance in force up to $151,780,810. Consistent withwthe company's long record of conservative management, the surplus wag increased to $918,- 966, taking the company's Own stringent basis of computing llabili- ties. Were these latter calculated according to-the less exacting govern- ment standard the London Life's sur- plus would be over $3,750,000. The London Life has its own high provided for any'similar class of busi- ness in America. | In its provision for liabilities all profits accruing al- though not due for years to come, are included and suspended mortality, in- vestment resérve, and other emerg- ency funds are constantly maintained as provision against even remote contingencies, The assets of the company are of the highest order, consisting of real estate mortgages and government and municipal debentures. No spec- ulative securities are ever purchasel or held. The liberal scale of dividends to policyholders - was maintained and they are to-day from 50 per cent. to 100 per cent. greater than' orginal estimates. The company's mortality rate for the year was only 37.2 in the ordinary branch and the expense rate showed an appreciable reduction. Altogether the report shows a re- markable combination of well-direet- ed enterprise and rapid, though sound, growth, constantly increasing security due to competent conserva- tive management, and a story of re- sults to policyholders that cannot help but write the name of The Lon- don Life higher and higher in in- sdrance annals each year. To mark its "Fifty Years of Public Service," the company, is issuing a new "Jubi- lee" policy which is pronounced to be the most advantageous to policy- holders ever issued and one which it is confidently expected will material. dv assist in reaching a new high re- cord for new business written by the end of 1924, STORE TO RE-OPEN. Arthur Horwitz, Lign Clothing Pro- prietor to Carry On. Arthur Horwitz, proprietor of the Lion Clothing Store, King street, has returned from a business trip to Montreal. One of the large whole- sale houses agreed to give him back his stock at a rate on the dollar, and the store will re-open within a few days. An announcement of the date will be made in the press in due course. The store was obliged to close its doors on Jan. 9th, following a quiet summer and fall. The fine, warm weather 'that prevailed all autumn and even right up to Christ- mas Day was anything but_satisfac- tory for the clothing business; few people wished to buy heavier cloth- ing while the moderate weather last- ed, and so the clothing trade suffered very severely. Now, however, Mr. Horwitz has regained possession of his big stock of cloths and gents' furnishings, and will have some rare and attractive bargains for his cus- tomers. -- The death occurred on Thursday, Jan. 17th, of Elizabeth Bennett, wife of Edward Judge, at the lome of her son, Joseph Judge, of Kitley, three miles from Jasper.
