W- 6- Hort. C. L. U.

After a third of a century's ser- vice with the Confcderatiorgs Life Association on Prince Edward Is. land. Mr. W. G. Hogg, C.L.U.. of Charlottetown. retires as Division- al manager on June 1st.

Toward the end of the War the Confederation Life As- sociation. whose business since 11.5 establishment in 1011 had made phenomenal progress throughout Canada and the Empire. decided to extend its activities to Prince Ed- ward Island. To introduce their Company and launch its activities they chose Mr. 1-rogg. who, .1. though barely out of his twenties.

Great

possessed a wide business experi- ence. having started but career with the Royal Bank of Canada

and prior to his association with the Confederation Life had suc- cessfully carried on the Life In- surance business in the United States with the Jchn Hancock Mutual Life.

The vigorous growth of the Con- federation Life's business on the Island and its present flourishing condition is ample proof that the Company made a wise and ha-ppy choice. Prcm its first year of business of less than 3103.000 it has steadily grown until today it is among the leading Ccmpanics doing business in this Province In the early days Mr. Hogg was the sole staff in a one- room office with a desk and two chairs. while today the Branch occupies a well-appointed suite in the Bank of Nova scotia Building. with a clerical staff of four and full and part-tune agents.

"Bill," as he is known to his friends. is looked upon as the Dean of Life Insurance men on the Is- land. He holds the degree of Chartered Llfc Underwriter. and. due to the experience and know- ledge gained in the more than thirty years devoted solely to the Life lnrurancc business, his couri- sel in Life insurance matters is widely sought and acted upon with confidence.

In his quiet manner he has made many friends. with the high and lowly, the rich and the poor. and hundreds of policyholders have found him to be a friend indeed when he was able to assist them in solving some personal problem through the medium of Life In- surance.

. A good personal producer. he holds the distinction of having more than ten years' continuous production and also being a mem-

ber. since its inception. of the Company's highest Production Cluib.

Over the years Mr. Hogg has made an outstanding contribution to the work of the Provincial Lifc

Uaideivwrlters Association. having been a very active member and 39"”!!! I5 Secretary and President. For many years he has supervised the writing of the Chartered Life Underwriter examinations on be- half of the Dominion Association. He has been deeply interested in Gtmmunity work. partioularly the Y.M.C A.. of which body he was a Director for many years and was one of the moving forces in the erection of the new "Y" sever- al years ago. He has been active in the various branches of Masonry and is Past Master of Victoria Lodge Nb. 2. Charlotte- town. For the past five years he has been the Provincial President of the British and Foreign Blrble Society. during which time he saw the Society's work in the Province grow and also saw fulfilled the ambition to have a Bible House opened in Charlottetown. His spec- ial love is his work in connection with the Church. being a devout meiniber and worker of St. Peter's Cathedral. In this connection he has become more widely known during the past few years in his conducting of the Sunday School of the Air for the Diocese of Nova Scotia. Being a Layreader of the Church. he has on many occasions taken services in the various churches in the absence of the Rector. and it is believed that much of his retiremerrt time will be devoted to work of this nature, which is close to his heart. Although Mr. Hogglf active duty with the Company terminates at the end of May. he will immediate- ly go on vacation leave and will represent the Island Branch at the Oompanyis 79th anniversary Convention which will be held ut Banff springs Hotel from June 19th to 23rd. Accompanying Mr I-logg to the Banff Convention will be two well-known senior Rep- resentatives. Mr. I). ll. Gallar.-t. C.L.U., and Mr R. J. Rupert. C.

L. U.

A host of friends join in wishing Mr. I-Iogg many healthful. happy years of well-earned retirement.

Mr. S. W. Willis, at present As- sistant Manager of the Island branch. will succccd Mr. I-logg as Divisional Manager and will take over his duties on June 1st. Mr. Willis is a young man. an Islander. born at Kingston. P.E.I . the son of Mrs. May and the late Hubert Willis. He served for three years with the Canadian Army overseas. and has been suocwsfully engaged in the Life Insurance business for a number of years. All join in congratulating Mr. Willis on his promotion and wish him every fuc- cess.

The following appreciative letter from the Hon. R. F. Macwillisms, Lieutenant Governor of Manitoba. has been received by His Honour Lieutenant Governor Bernard:

Government House. Winnipeg, May 25, 1950. "My dear Lieutenant Governor - "I am just in receipt of your

to empress my great appreciation of your sympathy with us in Mun- itoba on account of the disaster suffered by the flooding of the Red River. I know our people will greatly appreciate your personal interest and also the interest of your citizens in raising I fund in aid of the Manitoba Relief Piund. The amount already contributed by your people is most generous.

"I am glad to be able to assure you that the worst seems to be over. 'I'he water stopped rising last Friday the 19th., and remained stationery for three days and now is steadily falling. we were. how- ever, still in danger of the break- ing of a dyke from the rushing of the water at its crest or from heavy rains. but. fortunately. we have escaped both of these evils.

"The water at its highest spread over an area of flatlands at one point extending over twenty-five miles wide. but this operated to prevent a more serious flood in the city. It will. however. take a considerable time for the lake. which extends from here to the American border sixty miles to the south, to empty itself through the rather narrow outlet of the Red River below Winnipeg.”

"Now that it has become poa- sibla to sutvey the damage. our offtcials estimate that 8,600 houses have been flooded to the extent. of being completely surrounded by water and that of these M00 have been flooded above the main floors of the houses. It is impossible. as

at. to tell how much the interiors

ave been damn f.

"There will doubtless have been a great deal of destruction and dunno to the chattels in the houses and it is to help in replac- ing such damage that the Mani-

lctter of the 22nd instant and wish I

toba Flood Relief Fund has been established. The Governments will look after the capital expenditures of fighting the flood find damage to buildings.

"With best personal wishes to your wife and family from my wife and myself. We never cease to talk about the Island and many courtesies extended to us by your- self and the Premier."

Yours sincerely. lion. R.li'. Mr-Williams Lieutenant Governor.

Second Evening Of Drama Festival

Two entries from Queen's County and one from Prince were plays seen during the second av- ening of the Provincial Drama Festivalp at the Empire Theatre last evening.

One of the Queens County plays was a junior entry. "Tom Sawyer Whitewashes the liience", by the Clyde River school. The play scl- heres very closely to Mark Twain's book, and has been dram- atized by Marven G. Robinso. The cast. of children was directed very capably by Phoebe MacKln- non, who added a little business to the end of the script which suited the play. and brought a. last hearty laugh from the sud- fence.

standouts in the small cast were Elmer Macxlnnon as Ben, and Ethel Gillespie as Aunt Polly. and their work was commended very highly by adjudicator Mr. J. .L. Robertson. He stated that one of the major faults in the en- tire evening was the inability of some members of the casts to feel their parts deeply enough to get their characterizations across to the audience. He referred to "Ben" as an excellent example of an ac- tor's losing himself in his part, and living it all the time he was on the stage.

Mr. Robertson told the cast of "Tom" that their play had been a little slow, due to their inability to pick up their cues fast enough.

The Kinkora Sodality present- ed "The ummy" by Arthur I... Kaser as t eir bid in the rural section of the festival. and receiv- ed many laughs from the audience. Mr. Robertson, in his adjudication. stated that if it were possible to award acting prizes to inanimate objects. he would undoubtedly award one to the dummy in this comedy. He also commended the stage crew of this play on the Set used. and the cast on their aud- lbility, but stated that he found me tempo of the play rather s.ow.

with ”The Dear Departed" by Stanley Houghton entered by three different rural groups in the Phil'- offs, it was the Hunter River W0iIl' en's Institute presentation Whl('h won its way into the finals. Al- though this play had been speeded up since presented in the play- offs. Mr. Robertson still thought the pace is little slow in spots. and the climax not brought out enough. The play was well cast. he said. and the set. costumes. and make-up. very good.

The evening was opened by Mrs Harold Laird of Kelvin. President of the Provincial Drama Festival. who spoke for a few minutes on the Scholarship Fund which the Festival Committee has started this year. "It is hoped". she said. "that it will be possible to use the money from this fund to enable the dir- ectors of winning plays to attend short courses in dramatlcs."
