Manufacturers Life Reports Record Year The Manufacturers Life In- surance Company wrote $647 million of new business last year, a nine per cent gain over 1961, President George L. Holmes told the company's 76th annual meeting in Toronto last week. Business in force at year-end was $4.33 billion. Despite political and econ- omic uncertainty in some places, the company made substantial business gains in its three broad areas of operation — Canada, the United States and overseas. Money paid to policyowners and beneficiaries increased to $74 million — a new record — of which $52 million went to living policyowners as matured endowments, annuity income and policy dividends. Assets held in trust for Manu- facturers Life policyowners now total more than $1.14 billion, Mr. Holmes added, and the net rate of interest earned by these invested savings rose to 5.65 per cent last year. During the past seven months the company completed its five-year mutualization pro- gram with the final purchase of all outstanding shares of its stock. Mr. Holmes pointed out that this step will ensure that Manufacturers Life — a com- pany with all its roots in Can- ada -- remains a Canadian company. Protection Plus Investment ... that's the unbeatable combi- nation provided by a permanent life insurance plan. Backed by assets of over a billion dollars, the Manufacturers Life paid $74,391,502 last year to families facing emergency and to retired nlicyowners who, having saved ,ith life insurance, could enjoy security for their remainingyears. The Manufacturers. Life has a flexible plan which will give you that savings plus protection combination. As your Manulife Man I'll be proud to serve you. William B.

Highways Dept. Assists Bruce To Clear Roads The Department of high- ways' snowplows have been working around the clock to cope with the heavy snowfall and drifting which has been practically continuous for the last two weeks in the Owen Sound -Bruce Peninsula areas. Many of the rural roads have been blocked for a number of days and at the request of Reeve Greer of Kincardine Township, the Minister of Highways issued instructions to the effect that every assistance possible would be given to this municipality and to Bruce County which, it would appear, is one of the hardest hit. Last Saturday, the Depart- ment moved in one of its lar- gest pieces of snowblowing equipment and it has been utilized ever since in the open- ing up of the more important roads in the county. The Minis- ter has stated that this Depart- ment's co-operation will con- tinue as long as the emergency exists.

They are Les- lie Bolt and Albert Coultes for three-year terms and Kenneth Wheeler and Christopher Ne- thery for a one-year term.

"When you consider the costs and risks involved in investing money, a net yield of 5.65% is a remarkable record. Well, that's exactly what Manufacturers Life earned after the deduction of all investment expenses. It says so right here in their 76th Annual Report. "This return, I can tell you, is outstanding among Canadian insurance com- panies. It can only be the result of judicious and progressive handling of investment funds. In my experience the odds are against you doing as well on your own. "If you read their Annual Report, you'll see that participating policyholders will again receive increased dividends as a result of Manufacturers Life investment earnings. These dividends, to be paid in 1963, will be $12,548,984. Coupled with the iron -clad guarantees of permanent insurance, this makes a Manufacturers Life Policy an investment that is hard to beat.
