The Seaforth News, 1947-04-03, Page 4C.W,L. Easter Dance! St. Columban THURS., APR. 10 NORM CARNEGIE Sz HIS' ORCHESTRA I never stop wondering at the remarkable economy and effi- ciency set up by the co-opera- tion of millions of individu- als in life insurance. Government figures on the Canadian companies show that 75f of every dollar re- ceived by these life insurance companies came from policy- holders' premiums: 241/20 from investments and 1/i¢ from sundry sources. But the amazing thing to me is that for every dollar received by the companies 840 was paid to or held for policyholders; 2¢ went to governments for taxes; 133/40 covered all operating ex- penses; and I/40 went toshare- holders. No wonder that peo- ple in 64 ocher countries buy Canadian life insurance, be- cause it is so well managed. Life Insurance is a business built for everybody, a great enterprise which protects the future of more than four million policyholders and their loved ones. Life Insurance offers a system- atic and easy way to save. Consult an authorized agent about a plan best suited to your requirements.

Because of the week -end storm the confirmation service in St. Peter's Lutheran Church, which had been ar- ranged for 10.30 a.nt. on Sunday, was held in the afternoon after the roads had been opened by plows. Even then many were prevented from reaching the church owing to the bad condition of the roads. The girls of the confirm- ation class were dressed in white and wore white carnations. The boys also had Rowers in the lapels .of hteir coats. The altar and chancel were adorned with snapdragon, carnations and lilies. A large basket of Easter lilies was placed by four grancidaitgh- ters, Mrs. Ft'ed Scherbarth, Mrs. Ernie Hartji, of Detroit, Mrs. Elwood Smart, and Miss Sylvia Bennewies of Windsor in memory of their grand- mother, the late Mrs. Ahrens, who died 23 years ago. Rev. Wm. Schultz addressed the class on the theme, "Fight the Good Fight of Faith."

Mr.,.Eckart felt young enough to battle .the raging elements within recent weeks:when every farm in the district was virtually snow- bound. He insisted on walking all the way to Dublin to get the mail, when mailmen could not reach his hone district. Advancing age has not prevented him from "doing a good day's work on the farm" and members of the family say that "if there is anything to be fixed you will see him with his tools doing the repair work. and it is well done." There were nine children in the Eckart family, of whom four are now living, Mr. Eckert and his three sisters, Mrs. Barbara Holland of Dublin. Mrs. Louise Murray of Mc- Killop and Mrs. Annie MacMann of Chicago.
