in financing the war.The hearing which the normal ! operations ol the Hie as su nine j business has on the (,o\\ * rnmci l ! offerts to control inflation is worthy ; of notice.The netiv ides of the eom-¦ panics extend to a large section of the population which, in spite of tax-j alien, has n large purchasing power.By persuading people to purchase life assurance, money is withdrawn from circulation and through tin medium of the life companies directed to investment channels, thus aiding in reducing spending power and in curbing the rise in prices.The problem of how best to ciiree: the manpowi r of the country to the \u2019 primary needs of the war is a press-* in g one and in this, as in all ether ; matters, the companies are eo-oper- aiieg whole-heartedly with the Gov : eminent.If is Iccegr.ua d that the j successful prosecution of the war our first consideration and the «power of the country sfôoutd be Frolighrburg, R.C.N.V.R, MOSHER, Kenneth E., Noyau, Anti-Air.Regt.METJV1ER, Flt.-Sgt.Paul, Sherbrooke, R.C.A.F.R.A.F, METIVIER, (\"pi.Roland, Sherbrooke, R.C.A.F.MACRAE, Murray R., Bury, R.C.A.F.MfTTLEMAN, LAC.Jos., Sherbrooke, R.C.A.F.MacFARLANE, L/Cpl.Graham, East Farnham, R.C.A.MARTIN, Tpr, Lloyd G., Beebe, R.C.A.MILLER, Tpr.IL S , Rock Island, S.F.R.MAPI IN, Ei-s ' 1 J; I.'.\u2014 uxv.LL, Armd.Corps.MANDIGO, Keith T\u201e S .m, H.Bau.R.C.A.MADD155, LAC.G.E., S * .brooke, R.C.A.F.¦MICHAUD, Sr- Albert, ; Me.t.oarre, R.C.A.MARTIN, Donald, Kr.owh.or., R.C.A.F.j MARLOW, Alt\u2019s I J., North Hatley, !
