FIRE DEPARTMENT
BOYS START DRIVE,
PARK, FURNITURE
To raise funds for repairs to
the ball grounds and new furniture
and fixtures for the firemen’s
quarters in the new- City Hall, the
Juneau Volunteer Fire Department
is conducting a drive which will
end June 10. A 1951 Mercury Sport
Sedan will be awarded at the Ball
Park on that date to the holder
of certain pasteboard. Tickets may
be obtained from any fireman and
at several business houses in the
:ity.
The department has sole respon
sibility of maintenance and upkeep
of the baseball park where consid
erable repairs are required. Mem
bers contribute all toe labor, the
only expenditure.-, being for mat
erial and supplies.
Furniture and fixtures not pro
vided from city funds will be
needed in the department’s living
quarters in the new city hall. To
issure maximum efficiency at fire
rails, it is necessary that several
members have residence in the
building where the fire equipment
is located.
It is hoped that this opportunity
to assist the department in its
work and a chance to own a fine
new automobile will meet with the
approval of the public.

GOAL, JUNEAU CHAPTER !
OF RED CROSS, SHORT
The local chapter of the Ameri
can Red Cross has not met its
goal for the 1951 campaign. Many
services locally will have to be ]
curtailed and some eliminated un
less more funds are received at the
local1 office.
"If you have not made your con
tribution. will you enclose it in an
envelope and mail it to American
Red Cross, Box 231, Juneau,” is the
appeal made by local committee
men. Juneau is a definite part of
this large world-wide organization
of Red Cross activity and we must
hold up our local support to this
endeavor.'

Mrs. Crock, a Juneau girl, daugh

flowers of paper that look so real
they could fool a florist. . . They
even smell real, for she perfumes
them properly so that a rose is a

Mrs. Crock is a radio telephone

V/HAT GOVERNMENT SHOULD DO:
“First of all, it is imperative that non-essential expenditures,
whether for civilian or military purposes, should be reduced
to the bone. Taxes should be increased so as to place the
defense program, so far as possible, on a pay-as-you-go basis.
Monetary and economic controls should be installed so as to
combat an inflationary increase in the money supply and to
restrict wage and price increases lest the financial effect of
other measures be nullified,
“If expenses are expanded too far it will not be possible,
without great damage to our economy, to operate on a pay
as-you-go basis. Deficits, therefore, may have to be financed
through new issues of securities by the government. Such
securities should be issued on terms and at rates of interest
that will encourage their sale to private investors and not to
banks. The sale of government securities to banks tends to
increase the supply of money and is therefore inflationary.”
WHAT INDIVIDUALS SHOULD DO:
“1. Recognize that there cannot be either magical avoidance
or effortless solution <jf the problems we face.
2* Urge our representatives in government to fight the
forces that threaten t;> undermine our economy. And sup
port them vigorously when they do what is right, even when
it is unpopular. ,
3. Don’t buy what we don’t need; use what we have spar,
ingly. In both ways this will reduce the demand for goods.
4. Pay higher taxes ungrudgingly. It is Detter to pay stiff
taxes and check inflation than to enjoy the delusion of an
exaggerated income and reckon later with a damaged
economy.
5. Increase our savings. Money put into life insurance, gov
ernment savings bonds and other forms of saving, helps to
check inflation.”
From the Letter to Policyholders signed by George L. Harrison, Chairman of the
Board, and Devereux C. Josephs, President.

Behind every fact, behind every fig
ure in the year’s report lies a human
story ... a story of what life insur
anoe is doing to give hope and security to somebody, some
place. The Annual Report contains several real-life stories,
showing how—thanks to the efforts of a skilled agent —
insurance is helping folks today in neighborhoods like yours.
The New York Life Insurance Company’s
operations for the year 1950, and its financial
position at the close of the year, may be briefly
summarized as follows:
Assets of $4,907,729,002 compared with
$4,674,990,644 at the previous year-end;
and liabilities of $4,559,916,790 compared
with $4,366,397,324.
Surplus funds held for general contin
gencies were increased from $283,593,320 to
$302,812,212; and the asset fluctuation
fund was increased from $25,000,000 to
$45,000,000.
Sales, amounting to $1,012,322,500, estab
lished a new high record.
Life insurance in force at year-end totalled
$10,585,587,438 under 3,959,160 policies
as against $9,970,371,347 under 3,864,338
policies at the end of the previous year.
! Interest earnings improved; mortality was
I favorably low; expenses were higher although
new economies were introduced.
I Payments to living policyholders amounted
to $140,420,485 and payments to benefi
ciaries, $94,466,289. The comparable figures
for the preceding year were $131,802,411
and $88,447,839. jg* *

“Every working day in 1950 the New York Life in
,0 vested an average of $3,700,000. Part of this was new
f| money, coming chiefly from premium payments we
\ I received from policyholders. Part of it came from the
repayment or sale of investments already owned, and
from earnings on investments.
“Income from investments contributes materially to
ward building up the reserves that make it possible for |
us to meet our promises to policyholders when they fall 1
due. It is also a substantial factor in reducing the total *
cost of life insurance. i
“At the same time such investments serve a broader |
purpose. For more than a hundred years of American <
history the funds invested by the New York Life have
made for a more secure nation and a better living for
k/ all the people. Through peace and war these funds have ,
tended to flow where they were most needed by the
national economy; whether to build the railroads of a
growing nation or to help our government protect the
country in time of war. The kind of investments the
New York Life made during the past decade will illus
trate this role as dramatically as anything can."
Introduction to an illustrated article in the Annual Report on the
changing patterns of investing during the past ten years.
