The first maple syrup of the sea

There was a fairly good turnout of

Joint Appeal To Be Made
For Local Work and
National War Service
Campaign.
The “Y” annual report, just re
leased, shows that during 1939, the
attendance increase at all activities
exceeded the previous year’s figures
by 5000; 11,873 participations were
recorded in activities in
buildings and participation
directed activities outside
buildings exceeded 10,150.
Annually the Ingersoll "Y” has
requested public support in it* work
with youth, and citizen* have given
their stamps of approval by subscrib
ing generously to maintain and in
crease the service* rendered.
Year by year, the “Y” becomes
more and more a community enter
prise. Through extension of its co
operative program with other agen
cies, services are now provided for
one in every seven persons in Inger
soll and a wide variety of program
areas i* reached.
Although January and February
have been, the customary months for
the local “Y’s” financial appeal, this
year the period was postponed to
April to prevent overlapping .with
other worthy agencies requesting
support in the early months of 1940.
The “Y” management believes
that citizens appreciate this fore
thought in eliminating the conduct
ing of two campaigns in any one
month and are confident that public
icsponse to the appeal for funds to
finance "Y” work in 1940 will be
ready and generous.
Simultaneously, a campaign to pro
vide funds to finance the emergency
War Service work of the "Y” will be
made. Citizens will be asked to
“maintain the home base” and to do
their share in helping maintain the
morale of Canada’s fighting forces,
by giving to Hie War Service fund

most important auxiliary agencies

NancekhrelL
An interesting experiment in pub
lic relations has bwn started by the
Young Men’s Ohnatian Association
in Toronto—it is what would be call
ed a whispering campaign if the cause
ware Jess worthy and is epitomized in
the adjuration for you and me to
“Speak a good word for the Y.”
Not too many people do speak a
good word for the Y. The Y merely
is an institution which everyone takes
for granted and few—perhaps not
even many of its 100,000 members
in Canada—take the trouble thor
oughly to know and understand. An
impartial survey of the Y.M.C.A. by
that most impartial surveyor, The
Printed Word, reveal* that the Y is
an institution which is doing a pretty
good job—a first-class job—among
boys and young men and men not so
young in the sixty-odd cities in Can
ada where active branches are main
tained.
The Y might not need a good word
spoken for it but for the fact that
in these times there is a decline in
the significance of symbols. Gone
are the days when the symbol of an
Egyptian god appeared more often
than his image. A signet ring now is
merely a piece of jewairy. To the
great majority, the Y.M.C.A. triangle
is merely a sign or a decoration. A
basketball net might serve as well.
Yet an older generation recalls
th.it the triangle meant something,
the top bar meant the spirit and
others the mind and body and each
is equal in importance in the work
of the Young Men’s Christian Asso
ciation. One has heard it argued
that the words should be replaced in
the symbol of the Y, but at least it
would be worth while reminding
people of casual attitude that the Y
circuit is three-phase as well as high
tension.
One reason the Y often is sub
jected to unfair criticism is that it is
doing its job so well. Because it does
not neglect the spirit, the godless are
inclined to sneer. Because its large
buildings, include gymnasia and
swimming pools, those ,who think
that to be Christianlike is to be long
faced contend that the word “Chris
tian” does not belong in its name.
The only phase of its work about
which there is no criticism is that
which has .to do with mental develop
ment It is along time in this sup
posedly literate country since educa
tion and training have been decried.
On the whole, the Y.M.C.A. tries
to do for the boy and young man
what the Canadian parent—a nomin
al if not always active Christian__
would do for the son in the home.
Health is important, mental training
is important and none but a rampant
atheist would endeavour to (exclude
religion from the lives of the young.
So the Y’s balance of effort and pro
gramme is consistent with highest
aims of Canadian parenthood.
And now, as in an earlier war, the
Y is serving all men wearing the
King’s uniform at home and overseas.
The story of the Y’s work in an ear-.
Her war is a great story, commend
able in all respects, which never has
been property told. Today and to
morrow the young men who form
Canada’s armed forces are being
and will be served by the YJH.C.A.
which, out of its 96 years of exper
ience, has learned how to do a job
providing for the spirits, minds and
bodies of men in their off-duty hour*
No Canadian who wishes to contri
bute to the wellbeing of the men in
uniform need hesitate to help the
Y in this work. No Canadian who
desires to see the boys and young
men grqw into good citizens need
hesitate to contribute to the normal
work that the Young Men’s Christian
'Association began in Canada as long
ago as 1851, a scant seven years
after a young clerk named Williams
established the first Y in old London.

blue”, and her corsage was of Jo
hanna Hill roses, violets, yellow
freesia and lily-of-the-valley. Her at
tendant, Mrs. T. Zeno O’Neill of
Geraldton, her sister, was gowned in
misty grey triple sheer, slimly mould
ed with Bruyere’s fluted tucking in
a yoke treatment repeated at the
waistline to give a French bolero
effect; her matching turban had
dressmaker trimming and her cor
sage was of soft pink roses and Eng
lish violets. The best man and usher,
.both brothers of the bridegroom,
were Mr. William Graham and Mr.
Harold Graham, respectively of
Stratford.
Following the ceremony, a wedding
breakfast was served in the new St.
Charles Hotel Coffee Shoppe Banquet
Hall. The bride’s mother received in
a navy sheer gown, with navy straw
hat and corsage of Talisman roses,
and the bridegroom’s mother, in Par
ma violet sheer with matching hat,
and corsage of Johanna Hill roses,
assisted.
Leaving on a motor trip to Florida,
the bride wore a softy tailored
dress in shadow grey sheer wool with
fine chalk stripe, a Watteau sailor in
the same wool with accents of white
pique. On their return, Mr. and Mrs.
George O’Brien Graham will reside

Some Facta About Wheat Flour
To thos-v of ua who have practically no knowledge
of the making of wheat flour, that commodity which
in itself makes Canada known throughout the world,
it is an entrancing mystery how that flne, smooth aub-
stance is made. In general we have an idea that some
thing in the nature of roiling mills or crushers doea
the trick. But there is a good deal more to good flour
making than that.
The wheat berry is somewhat barrel-shaped. At the
top fa a tuft of hairs, -which is appropriately called
the beard. At the lower end on the outer side is a
small peculiarly shaped protuberance which indicates
the position of the germ beneath the bran. On the
opposite inner side is a deep furrow running the
whole length of the grain. This is the crease which
harbours dust and micro-organisms and which creates
difficulties in the cleaning operation preparatory to
milling.
Cut a transverse section across the grain and ex
amine with a lens the internal structure of the berry.
Beginning from the outside inwards, the outer skins
form the bran.
There is a single layer of rectangular cells full of
minute grains of nitrogenous matter. The function of
these cells is to supply the young Rowing embryo
with its proper nitrogenous food. The starch-con-
taining cells are packed full of starch granules of
varying size, and the spaces between the cell walls
are probably filled with the substances known as
glutine.
The germ, or embryo of the wheat berry is a
somewhat triangular looking body, of a yedlojwish,
buttery appearance when the grain is new. H the
grain is old, however, the germ will be dark almost to
a deep brown in colour and the taste much less
pleasant- Wheat germs which come from the mill are
pale yellowish disks varying from 3-16 to 1-4 of an
inch in diameter. When in suitable condition for food,
the germ must possess a pleasant, oily smell and an
agreeable, greasy flavour. In a decomposed state the
germ is dangerous to health.
The object of the miller is to separate the endo
sperm or floury portion from the bran coat and the
germ, and to reduce the floury portion to fine flour.
This is only possible because the bran and germ are
far tougher than the endosperm. The successful
miller is able to effect a thorough separation of the
endosperm from the germ and bran to produce a type
of flour that will be clean and white and with good
keeping qualities.
The constituents of the wheat kernel are over 83
per cent endosperm, which is largely of starch con
tent, 15 per cent bran and 1 % per cent germ. The
germ is rich in fat and when loosened in the break
ing process it may be graded with the coarser mid
dlings which are generally known as germ middlings.
The wheat germ is good material in preparing human
food such as in fortifying cereal products, but at the
present time it is difficult to keep the wheat germ oil
from becoming rancid; therefore the germ has to
be separated completely from the finished flour.
Canada exports annually four or five million bar
rels of wheat flour, of which considerably more than
half go to the United Kingdom alone. The value of
the export is about 16 or 17 millions dollars.
War and Retail Problems
The complex problems faced by retailers through
out Canada have been rendered increasingly difficult
since September, 1939. An article in the spring issue
of The Commerce Quarterly, University of Western
Ontario’s business publication outlines the present
conditions affecting price-setting in Canadian stores,
and explains how retailers can relieve the situation.
Written by Professor Walter A. Thompson, Head of
the Department of Business Administration, and Gor
don H. Ingram, well known retailer, the article shows
importance of style, local demand, competition, and
advertising in the price-setting division of retail
business.
The already complex pricing function has been
rendered increasingly difficult since September, 1939,
the article continues. War usually brings a buyers*
market. One of the wisest measures taken by the
Canadian Government was the setting up of Canada’s
'Wartime Price and Industry Board. The setting up
of this competently manned Board was as popular
a move as could have been made.by the government.It is generally recognizet/by the public and the busi
ness community that no (one should take money from
this war. A variety of additional forces which will
tend to keep price rises in hand are described by the
writers. Considerable capacity in machine and man
power to manufacture goods, control of credit infla
tion, and mechanical means of keeping down the price
level are in turn opposed by rising ocean transporta
tion costa, exchange disadvantage on purchases from
, the United States, and the switching of machinery
and men from consumers* goods to war productions in
-the battle to keep prices at normal levels.
The price situation of September, 1939, certainly
did not suggest a downward price revision, and some
speculating in merchandise resulted. A rise in. employ
ment resulted from the accelerated general economic
structure, and the heavier purchases to “beat the
price rise." Sound arguments tended to keep these
impulses and ^peculations at a minimum. The pofwera
of the wartime Price and Trade Board and the potent
force of the style cycle prevented speculative risks.
The demand' of the consumer public simply cannot
De forecast, the writers state; women want high heels
one season and no heels the next. Even men may sud
denly refuse to wear hats. Sound merchants simply
can’t afford to have on hand anything but the mini
mum quantities of merchandise.
Retail prices did not rise as fast us wholesale
prices; the average department ntorc had enough
stock on hand in Scptcmbtr to carry through four
months' businem. Consumer resistance to immediate
price rises, strong -competition, derire to avoid thr
label "profiteer”, wen? ■ among the factors which
caused the retailer to avoid immediate price increases.
But the Canadian customer is beginning to feel the
rise ntw. Wider consumer knowledge of retail prices
will probably tend to increase conaunur icsistaace
to price increases, and thia is another factor which
eattM's department stores to consider the policy of
handling merchandise of slightly lower quality and
fabric in order to avoid price change.

Gone With The Wind’* Cow
Dairymen and farmers in general arc interested to
note that th* cow which appears prominently in ths
axc-e'm ovie, G<»ne with (lie Wind, is of too mod
ern a tyr>e hove been in existence at the time of
Sherman's asptnre of Atlanta.
Horses have not changed greatly, so that the homes
shown in the rr-'v\» are largely true to the period
represented. But it is indicative of the tremendous
stride i in cattle breeding on this continent during the
p.-.st seventy-five years that the sleek bossy is almost
as out of place in the Civil War scenes as telephone
wires would be in a picture of ancient Rome.
With the many calls that will be made on municipal
taxpayers as the war goes on, Hon. Eric Cros, mini
ster of welfare and municipal affairs, performed a
pouplar job when he conferred with the federal min
ister of labor at Ottawa and asked for a renewal of
the relief plan which expired on March 31.
Last year the agreement provided for the Sharing
of relief costs, 40 per cent by the Dominion, 40 per
cent by the province, and 20 per cent by the munici
palities. Ontario municipalities saved >1,700,000 last
year by this plan.
During the court proceedings which ended in peni
tentiary terms for tnvo Toronto men who stole live
stock from farms in Peel, Halton, Simcoe, Ontario
and York, it was revealed that many Ontario farmers
are too trustful. Many of them have little or no
protection for their property. These two men alone
admitted the theft of 20 pigs, two cows, two calves,
two steers, seventeen aheep, 96 bushels of wheat and
eight bags of coal How much more they made off
with, is not recorded.
Friends of Miss Agnes MacPhail have started a
campaign to have her appointed to the Senate. The
Ontario Chamber of Agriculture has expressed an
opinion that the farmers have suffered 3 serious loss
in her defeat at the recent election and is urging that
she be appointed to the Upper House.

I L NEPHEW ELECTED
OXFORD CHAMBER OF
AGRICULTURE PRESIDENT
Annual Meeting Voted To
Consider the Sponsorship
of Sending Mammoth
Cheese To Canadian Ac*
tive Service Force In Eng*
land.
At its annual meeting last Thurs
day in Woodstock, the Oxford
County Chamber of Agriculture
voted in favor of having the execu
tive consider the sponsorship of the
manufacture of a mammoth cheese
in the county to be sent to the Can
adian Active Service Force in Eng
land as a gift from Oxford County.
The proposal was submitted by G.
H. Laird, the retiring president.
J. Frank Way, Ingersoll, said hte
believed the plan to be a good one
and one which .would create a great
deal of interest in Oxford county and
Oxford county cheese. He believed
the support of organizations not
strictly rural! could be gained in the
venture.
G. R. Green, Oxford County Agri
culture representative, recalled
“The idea worked well before.”
The proposal was submitted to the
executive for consideration on a mo
tion by Dan. Stauffer anu B. G.
Palmer.
J. E. Nephew, Woodstock, manages
of the Oxford Co-Operative, was
elected president of the Chamber of
Agriculture by acclamation. Mrs. J.
S. Amos was elected first vice-presi
dent and Harley Mayberry, Ingersoll,
second vice-president Mr. Mayberry
was appointed as the county’s direc
tor on the Ontario Chamber of Agri
culture. R. W. Burton was. re-elected
secretary-treasurer.
H. H. Hannam, president of the
Canadian -Chamber of Agriculture,
was the guest speaker. Mr. Hannam
outlined the principles behind the
formation of the Canadian Chamber
of Agriculture, the provincial organ
izations and the county chambers of
agriculture.
"You must go into this organiza
tion,” the speaker impressed upon
the audience, "figuring that you are
going into it for a lifetime—it must
be permanent—it is just as important
to you as your barn.”
By resolution the Oxford County
Chamber of Agriculture lined itself
up with the provincial organization
in deciding to accept the change of
name from chamber of agriculture
to federation of agriculture.’
This move has been considered
and steps taken by the Canadian
Chamber of Agriculture to alter its
name to the Canadian Fedration of
Agriculture to avoid misunderstand
ing and confusion with the name of
the Canadian Chamber of Commerce.
The Ontario organization followed
suit as did the county organization.
The proposal will reach a deciding
point at the next annual meeting of
the Dominion-wide organization.
, The Oxford County Chamber of
Agriculture, organized for only a
year has made progress during that
time. G. H. Laird said in his presi
dential address. Farmers, he declared,
were realizing the need of getting
together and discussing problems and
so agricultural organizations got to
gether as the Oxford County Cham
ber of Agriculture for the purpose
of solving common problems.
The following committees were
named for the year. Education, R.
W. Burton, Mrs. J. S. Amos, Dan.
Stauffer; home beautification, Fred
Fairs, Mrs. Ed. Hansul, Miss Margar
et Thompson, Mrs. R. W. Burton, G.

Palmer, II. E. Longworth, S. T.
Jackson; marketing, J. E. Neptfew,
J. Frank Way, N. M. Marshall; finan
cing, G. H. Laird, Richard Wilson,
W. Alex. Muir.
The executive members from the
organizations affiliated with the Ox
ford County Chamber of Agriculture
were re-elected subject to ratification
or change by their own organization.

There is no doubt that one of the
factors considered by the council of
the society in selecting Mr. Payne,
was his untiring and unselfish effort
in the promotion of an appreciation
of art in Ingersoll and throughout
Western Ontario. It was in Ingersoll
particularly that this generous qual
ity was most evident. He was partic
ularly anxious that the people of his
own town should see some of the best
of modern Canadian art and it was
for this reason that he promoted the
Ingersoll Art Gallery Association.
The original purpose of the asso
ciation was the presentation of exhi
bits of the various types of art. It
is interesting to note that, although
many of Mr. Payne’s friends in Tor
onto were skeptical of such a project
being carried out in a town the size
of Ingersoll, that the Association
functioned successfully for well over
two years. Almost every month it
presented a new exhibit which was
always open to the public. The
highlight of each year’s exhibits was,
of course, the travelling show of the
Ontario Society of Artists. It was a
distinct pleasure to see one of Mr.
Payne's lovely floral pieces or one
of his marine scenes included in this
exhibit each year. Exhibits of etch
ings, wood-blocks and water colors
were also shown. Exhibits were al
ways explained and work interpreted
most sympathetically by Mr. Payne.
Through his efforts many fine speak
ers were brought before rhe Associa
tion to discuss various phases of art
As the Art Gallery Association be
came better established it assumed
under Mr. Payne’s guidance the prob
lem of providing art instruction for ,
all children who were interested^M’n
Payne personally undertook—the in-, st ruction of a Saturday morning
I class where he opened jup wonderful
| new realms of experience for chil
dren who came under his guidance.
Five year before the idea of the
“imaginative" art and the emphasis
on the crafts were introduced into
the schools, Mr. Payne Was present
ing them to the children of Ingersoll.
Finger-painting, lino-printing, batik
work and modelling, were all taught
and it is a fine tribute to Gordon
Payne’s enthusiasm that some fine

work was turned out, and, more im
portant, some ex#llent training
given. Many who visited similar
classes provided <by the Art Gallery
of the city of Toronto were of the
opinion that the work being done in
Ingersoll compared favorably with
that done in Toronto.
As a painter in his own right, Gor
don Payne is a master. He attended
the Ontario College of Art in Tor
onto and his career there was largely
a self-prompted one, and, incident
ally, one interrupted by war sevices.
He has had a wide experience in
painting and has executed commis
sions of no mean size in both Toronto
and Ottawa. At one time he paint
ed some Northern Ontario murals
for Sir Frederick Banting. IngersoH
scenes were particularly dear to him:
he has executed many studies of the
ponds and mills, of the river and
swamp. He was very fond of the lat
ter in winter. Of later yean he and
Mrs. Payne have been spending a
part <rf their summer at Port Buryvell
where he produced work that might
be termed ‘’different” Camping life
appealed to him rind he ha-, made
many studies of life on the beach
which he often termed his “Bohe
mian series”. His flower studiep and
fine water colors have always been
particularly popular.
Since leaving Ingersoll two year
ago, however, Mr. Payne’s chief In
terest has been in his marine studies.
He 'has always enjoyed going to
Gloucester, Mass., (a veritable artist
colony) in the early summer to paint
the Ashing boats and the sea in its
many moods. Just this post summer
Mr. Payne brought, back many fine
sketches of the life there which he is
now doubtlessly engaged in convert
ing into finished canvases. To hear
him speak of the great American
artists whom he met at Gloucester,
one might conclude that Mr. Payne
himself, was comparatively minor.
An interesting sidelight on this point,
however, is revealed when, some four
or five years ago, Mr. Payne, of all
.the artiste in Gloucester, was. the
only one successful in getting a
sketch of the fog in the harbour.
This resulted in a lovely painting—
one admired by everyone who saw it
Mr. Payne lived in Ingersoll about
eighteen years before moving to
London some two years ago. The
honor that has been given him,will,
i jw^ioubt, be appreciated as much by
Mii. Payne as by her husband. Mn.
Payne, with her fine sense of justice
and intimate knowledge of art, has
always been a source of inspiration
and encouragement to her*, husband.
She has many friends in Ingersoll,
having spent the greater part of her
life here. Mrs. Payne is rhe sister of
Postmaster S. A. Gibson.
The fact that Mr. Payne had no
hint of his election to the Royal
Society of Arts is just another trib
ute to. his guiding principle of self
lessness. It is a great thrill to the
many friends of both Mr. and.Mrs.
Payne that he has been honoured by
a society of such significance. The
Royal Society of Arts was founded
in 1754 at Rowthmell's Coffee
House in Covent Garden, London,
England, at a meeting of noblemen,
clergy, gentlemen and merchants to
form such a society for the encour
agement of arts, manufactures, com
merce and industry in Great Britain.
One of the patrons was His Majesty,
the King. The society has continued
since 1754 to exert a strong influence
in the advancement of all branches
of art, and to attach due credit to
such labors as Mr. Payne exerted
here.
Regret has been frequently ex
pressed among many of Mr. and Mra.

Payne’s friends here, of their leaving
Ingersoll some two years ago. It is,
however, a great source of pride to
their friends that an artist who
lived so long in Ingersoll and to
whom Ingersoll ssenes were so intim
ate has been so distinctly honored.
The influence of Gordon Payne
through his many works in1 Ingersoll
and through his pupils has continued
locally. It is hope that these influ
ences may realize some of the fine
ideals of art which he is so earnestly
attempting to establish.

bune drew attention to the fact that
we spend 2 millions a year in our
fisheries department in order to mar
ket about $40 million* of fish.
In the business of tourism we
spend $300,000 and hope to get
$300,000,000 of trade.
While we think it good business to
spend $5 of federal funds for $100
worth of fish we spend only 10 cents
to get $100 of tourist business.
So long as we are at war, the Am
erican dollars these visitors will
bring are an essential war sinew. We
should not hesitate to spend at least
a million dollars to merchandise
Canada’s tourist attractions in the
U.S. A.
Even a little state like Illinois with
not a fraction of the tourist oppor
tunities that Canada possesses is
spending a quarter of a million this
year. Equal or larger expenditures
are being made by state and tourist
authorities all over the U.S.A. They .
know the value of merchandising
their assets so as to gain a share of
the record expenditure that is ex
pected to be made by tourists on this
continent in 1940.
Canada has an excellent Travel
Bureau which has been doing splen
did work within its limited resources.
It is greatly handicapped because it
lacks the money to "follow through."
The first essential of our tourist
effort is to make sure we are doing a
good enough sales job. Right now
our national effort looks puny in re
lation to the opportunity that exists.
• • •
If, as and when these tourists
come to Canada, what are we going
to tell them!
It is a certainty that most of them
| will want to talk about »the war.
They will want to tell us, perhaps,
why they are isolationist They will
want to know what we are thinking
and doing.
How well are we prepared to talk
about “the issues at stake!"
Is there a danger that we will sit
back on our fence rails or club chairs
and sneer at our visitors for not
being in the war!
I Are we ready to speak with clar-
| ity and conviction about fighting for
the right to live our own life—an
| deal which must surely be common to

f
OTTAWA. .April Sth. — The
payments at almost a
billion dollars to Metropolitanf >’^yliohtcrs during the past ten
• 'ar« are featured In the s*vemy-
tainl h:»bu*1 report of the Companyrelearn-! today. The rvport highlightsthe Company's growth and stabilityover tbs last decade when econouiii
condition* hare been difficult Itshows that during this period, inaddition to contractual payments toI'oiieyholders of over four billion
dollar* and the amount paid Inpolicyholders' dividends, the Metropolttan added to its contingencyreserves. It also strengthened thebasis of Its policy reserve*, im
proved properties acquired through
foreclosure, and reduced the valuation of securities and real estate.And. during the same period. Metropoiitan policyholders benefit ted by
rhe amount of fifty-eight milliondollars- expended in health and wetfare work.The report shows that during theyear 1939. for the eighth successive
year, pulicybohiers and thc-lr benefl ci* vies received benefits of monthan half a billion dollars. Thea.19S9 payments, which amounted to90X^25,898, averaging $5,023.47 a
minute of each business day, werethe largest ever made in any oneyear and brought the total paid topolicyholders and their beneficiaries
during the years 1930-lIK.ty to morethan five and a quarter bllUondollars.The Metropolitan comment pointed out that more than two thirds of
its payments last year were madeto living policyholders and the remainder to beneficiaries. This continues in line with the ratio ofpayments made in previous years toliving policyholders and beneficia
ries. This payment of approximately three and a half billion dollarsto living policyholders in the past10 years means the Insuring publicIs realizing that, while making
provision for their dependents
through proper Insurance programIng. they can also make provisionfor themselves.The report comments upon ttvCanadian business of the Metropoli
tan, and shows that satisfactoryIncreases have been made in thevarious departments, — investmentsits • •.nri'ln having Increased by
$17,035,313; payments to policy

pany participating in 55 health campaigns during the year; distributing2.866.698 pieces of health literature,and through the operation of Its
nursing service making 352,906
visits to sick policyholders withoutany additional cost to them.Other features in the Metropolitanreport which refer to the total
Company business In Canada and
the United States, were that theassets of the company held for thebenefit of the policyholders hadgrown to $5,141,986,181. an increase
of $199,085,764 during 1939; that

$23,193,000,000, the largest ever re
corded in the history of any company.The current dividend declaration,again above the $100,000,000 mark,
provides for the payment to policyholders of $112399,638 during thisyear. The dividend allocation forOrdinary policies is $57398.771; for
