INTERNATIONAL CENTRE. BERMUDIANA ROAD. HAMILTON. BERMUDA THINKIN INVESTING? D. E. Outerbridge The man who wants to accumulate capital has many choices of where to put his money. What about a Manufacturers Life policy - what does it offer him? Here are a few facts: A permanent insurance policy from Manufacturers Life combines im­ mediate protection with a living benefit • a cash value that grows rapidly through compound interest at guaranteed rates. The cash value is liquid; you can redeem it in cash at any time. It's the best loan collateral you can have. "Do you own any life insurance?", is one of the first questions your bank manager will ask. You leave your money management with the Manufacturers Life ex­ perts and you avoid the worries and uncertainties of the stock market. Owners of participating policies receive annual dividends. The net rate of interest earned on Manufacturers Life's assets has been consistently amongst the highest for major Canadian life companies. This success in money management is reflected in the company's excellent record of ten increases in the dividend scale in the last eleven years. The Manufacturers Life representative in your area would welcome the opportunity to tell you more. Call him soon.

And as modern history demonstrates so clearly, the more troubled and violent our world seems to become, the more bedevilled by wars and revolutions, the more the British Monarchical system of govern­ ment stands out as a model of stability and continuity ct>mpared to all the other models which seem to come and go with bewildering rapidity. The Oueen herself has said she sees the Crown as a symbol of our unity. As a simple gold ring is a mean­ ingful and well-understood symbol of the bond that binds together a man and a woman, of all that they feel for each other in their hearts; so is the Crown the symbpl that not only binds both Bermuda and Britain together, but also that binds Bermudians to each other, lanuary 1975 us to the Oueen. and she to us I am happy indeed to be asked to write "FAME'S" In the person of Her Most Gracious Majesty welcome to Her Majesty the Oueen, and to His Royal Queen Elizabeth II.
