Zurich Citizens News, 1961-12-07, Page 10PAGE TEN ZURICH CITIZENS NEWS B of M President Urges Canadians Hold Prices Doman a Holding prices down and in- creasing productivity should be Canada's objectives in the face of intensifying world eompeti• , tion and changing market align- ments, according to G. Arnold Hart, president of the Bank of Montreal. Mr. Hart told the bank's 144th annual meeting today that this country should follow the Euro- pean example in developing greater co-operation among la- bor, management and govern- ment towards these paramount aims. Shareholders also heard R. D. Mulholland, vice-president and general manager, report busi- ness to October 31 at a record level, with growth in assets of $464 million, which represented "the largest increase ever ex- perienced in a year by any Can- adian bank." This expansion brought the B of M's total re- sources to a figure just below the $4 -billion mark. 3,000,000 Customers Mr. Mulholland also noted that the B of M is now banker to more than 3,000,000 Cana- dians from coast to coast, with the number of deposit accounts increasing 134,000 in the year. Mr. Hart said that while business has shown signs of in- creased activity in the past year, the pace of recovery from recession "still falls short of the rate of growth we would wish to see." He added that Canada today lives under con- ditions of "managed money," so that it should be recognized that Canada's fiscal and mone- tary policies must be closely Artist Jack Reppen's impressions of Danny Gallivan (left) and Bill Hewitt, picture them with a most appropriate prop --a CBC microphone. Although their faces may not be familiar, the voices of the two men are known in millions of Canadian homes. They describe the action during Hockey Night in Canada telecasts Saturdays, on CBC -TV. Gallivan covers Montreal Canadiens home games from Montreal Forum and Hewitt is his counterpart for Toronto Maple Leafs, from Maple Leaf Gardens, interrelated, In the future, he hoped that "level-headed commons e n s e " would prevail in management of the money supply, With flex- ibility as the key. Even so, Mr. Hart believed, "there is no monetary formula that will, in itself, create wea- lth," nor can there be a sub- stitute for the "technical skill and energetic salesmanship re- quired in an increasingly tough competitive trading environ- ment" Positive Approach Advocating a positive ap- proach to new problems for Canada caused by the Europ- a MAKE THIS YEAR A COLEMAN CHRISTMAS Slash Heat Bilis - - - -Get Wonderful Warmth!

" Progress Noteworthy Reporting "noteworthy pro- gress" in a year when monetary conditions were "appreciably easier," Mr. Mulholland pre- sented a statement showing new records in almost all areas. Assets rose to $3,950 million, deposits to $3,647 million, loans to $1,934 million and invest- ments to $1,107 million, he said, while earnings were $14,578,- 817. Expenses rose substantially during the year, due mainly to increased interest paid to depo- sitors and to increased salary costs for the larger staff need- ed to handle the rapidly in- creasing volume of business, Mr. Mulholland said. 887 Offices Forty-five new B of M offices were opened during the year bringing the October 31 figure to 887 at home and abroad. Loaning services to the small business borrower have been readily available, including loans under provisions of the new Small Businesses Loans Act, and advances by the bank to fanners also rose to new records. The general manager also reported expansion in the B of M's international business and in operations of its affiliate, the Bank of London and Mont- real in the Caribbean and Latin America.
