Sun Life's Assets
Pass Billion Mark
MONTREAL—Sun Life of Can-
ada assets passed the billion-
dollar mark in 1942 and now
stands at $1,046,962,000. This was
reported here by Lyman E. Ma-
lone, manager of the company's
Detroit branch. The volume of
new business in the same period
was increased over the previous
year, and amounted to over $200,-
000,000. Arthur B. Wood, presi-
dent and managing director, in
his annual address to policy-
holders, stated that the company
had increased its Government
bond holdings by $73,000,000,
bringing the total investments
in bonds of the United Nations
to $290,000,000. The growth of
the life assurance, said Mr. Wood,
was one of the noteworthy social
developments of the present cen-
tury.
The total assurance in force of
the Sun Life of Canada now
amounts to $3,044,000,000. Pay-
ments to policyholders during the
year represented an average daily
disbursement of over a quarter
of a million dollars each working
day, or over $77,500,000, bring-
ing the total benefits distributed
since organization to well over
$1,500,000,000.
Mr. Wood revealed that mor-
tality was smaller than might be
expected and was among the
lowest in the last 10 years. The
favorable experience among pol-
icyholders as a whole was more
than sufficient to offset the extra
claims due to the war. Inciden-
tally, war claims to date are 2.8
percent of total death claims.
This is very low, for in normal
times 'claims from accidental
deaths alone are about 9 percent.
Among other important items
apearing in the Sun Life 72nd
annual report are: Premium in-
come, $106.700,000; investment
income, $36,500,000; total receipts
from all sources, $168,800,000;
dividends paid to policyholders,
$10,600,000; paid in taxes during
the year, $2,500,000; surplus and
contingency reserves. $34,600,000.
Government and other bonds
now make up 62 percent of the
total assets of the company.

LET THE FLAME
OF FAITH
BURN BRIGHTLY
e lD
In history 'Finis' can never be set at the .end of the
page nor at the close of a year. The end of one
chapter tells the beginning of another, the close of
the old year the opening of a new. Standing within
the threshold of 1943, the challenge is of the ages,
a call for courage amid toil and trial and sacrifice.
We look back upon a year of cloud and pain,
hallowed by the death of heroes. Their valor is
ransom for our future, and has opened for us the
vista of triumph now stretching ahead. Let us not
lose what they have bought. As we press on to
victory, let the flame of our faith burn brightly. With
gratitude for the past, with courage for the present,
with faith for the future, let us reconsecrate ourselves
to our task . . . to the end that torment may be lifted
from men's hearts and peace come for all nations
and peoples.
