MONTAGUE —-— The Charlotte- town branch, Royal Canadian Legion, will play host to the cribbage finals tonight. This tournament will decide the pro- vincial championships and will include the winners from the le-
gion zones from the three coun- tries.
Two teams from each county will take part in this competi- tion. The winner tonight will hold the trophy for one year un- less such as in the case of th e Rustico team which has won twice in succession, a win to- night will give it permanent pos- session.
The trophy will be presented following the play by J. Hamil- ton Douglas, Mount Stewart, provincial president.
These cribbbage tournaments were started four years ago to help foster greater interest in the legion. Mr. Douglas suggest- ed Friday evening at Montague

1 Planning 'ls Topic
Paul
L. Belcourt. personal planning officer with the Royal Trust Company from Halifax, was the guest speaker at the meeting of the Life Un- derwriters Association of P_E.I. held 1Friday at the Charlottetown te
Ho .
A film on "estate planning" was shown, and a short discus- sion period on the problems of estate planning followed. In in- troducing the film, Mr. Bel- court stated that the purpose of the film was to “illustrate the problems that arise through I a u 1 t y estate planning". The film itself, entitled “So Little or Eve" gave a vivid example of how a businessman’s family suffered the loss of a business because he neglected to proper- ly plan the distribution of his estate. In closing, Mr. Belcourt pointed out that the need for proper planning is just as im- portant in a small estate as it is in a large estate.
A feature of the meeting was
elation. Jack Walmsley. new member to the Mutual Life of Canada's staff on P.E.I. was inducted by Fred Pound, chair- man of the ethics and practice committee.
A special guest of the meet- ing was Charles F. Bentley, manager of the Royal Trust Company in Charlottetown.
