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.

  • The Royal Mews
    QUEEN AT 85 The Royal Mews The Royal Mews is an important branch of the Lord Chamberlain's Office and provides road transport for The Queen and members of the Royal Family by both horse-drawn carriage and motor car. It is at the Royal Mews that the State vehicles are housed and maintained. These include the magnificent Gold State Coach used for Coronations and those carriages used for Royal and State occasions, State Visits, Weddings and the State Opening of Parliament. Since 1843 the daily messenger Brougham has set out from the Royal Mews to collect and He built the main coachhouses on the east side, deliver post between Buckingham Palace and St. and, on the west, he created two sets of State James's Palace. Stables with room for 54 horses as well as forage and harness rooms.

  • Bermuda (Country Update)
    Country update BERMUDA Summary The (re)insurance sector remains the dominant sector on the island of Bermuda, followed by the tourism sector. A slow recovery in the US and Europe therefore weighs on economic growth in Bermuda. Economic growth is expected to be around 1-1.5% this year, which is similar to growth in 2011. Considering the high level of income, a low growth should not pose any problems, but it could hamper swift fiscal consolidation. After public debt doubled between 2008 and 2010, to 20% of GDP, people worried that the government would be unable to get the fiscal situation under control again. However, the direction of the 2011 and 2012 budgets suggests that the risk of public debt spiralling out of control has reduced substantially. Another issue that concerns the inhabitants of Bermuda is rising unemployment, which now unofficially stands at 12%. These issues are expected to play a role in the general elections, which will be held in 2013 at the latest. In the meantime, the Bermuda Monetary Authority has adopted regulation to qualify for Solvency-II equivalency, the new EU standards for insurers. Currently, only Switzerland and Bermuda are seen as candidates eligible for equivalency and a final decision is expected later this year.

    What is a monarchy? Monarchy is the oldest form of government in the United Kingdom. In a monarchy, a king or queen is Head of State. The British Monarchy is currently known as a constitutional monarchy. This means that, while The Sovereign (a supreme ruler) is Head of State, the ability to make and pass legislation resides with an elected Parliament. Although The Sovereign no longer has a political or executive role, he or she continues to play an important part in the life of the nation. What Is a Coronation? A coronation is a ceremony where a king or queen is officially given the crown of the country. It is a ceremony full of pageantry and celebration but it also has a solemn religious side. It is almost like a marriage ceremony between the monarch and their country. This is George IV’s coronation in 1821 What Is a Coronation? A new king or queen becomes the monarch at the very second that the previous monarch dies or abdicates (stands down). This is called ascension. The coronation happens a number A coronation is also a massive of months after ascension.
