President of Bank of Pln«*.hurst Ad-
dreHses Regular Luncheon Meet
ing at the Berk.Hhlre
i tet of young men.
Forest VonCannon, president of
the Bank of Pinehurst, in an address
! was asked by the Rev. Nuth. After jWednesday to the Kiwanis Club at the
dinner there was singing by the choir j Berkshire Hotel in Pinehurst stated
of A. M. E. Zion church and a quar- j that now that deposits were guar
anteed the people of the community
should give wholehearted support to
the local banks. He further stated
that it was the duty of the t>anks,
and they had been urged to do so
by the government, to provide oper
ating capital to meet the demands of
the communities which they serve. He
pointed out that it was necessary
I that the banks keep liquid at all
times and it was impossible for
banks to carry long term loans. It
was necessary that the loans be pro
tected with good securities: and the
! borrower should meet his obliga
tions when due.
In discussing the service charge
for accounts ranging ffom one dol
lar to one hundred dollars, he
pointed out that the accounts are
not profitable and that banks are
compelled to make a service charge
if more than five checks are drawn
in any one calendar month. Banks,
under the new regulations, he said,

SDN LIFE SHOWS
GAIN IN ASSETS,
CASH HOLDINGS
MONTREAL, Feb. 13.—The sixty-
third annual report of the Sun Life
Assurance Company of Canada, made
public here today, presents a record
of sound progress in a difficult per
iod. The report reveals a general
strengthening of the company's posi
tion during the year, with an increase
in cash In banks, an excess income
over disbursements of more than
124,000,000, while policy reserves have
been maintained on the same high
standard as in the past.
Arthur B. Wood was elected presi.
dent, succeeding T. B. Macauley,
president since 1915, who becomes
chairman of the board. E. A. Mac-
Nutt, treasurer of the company, was
elected a director, replacing J. C.
Tory, of Halifax, who declined re-
election owing to ill health. E. A.
MacNutt was elected vice-president.
Total Income for the year exceeded
152,000,000, with $216,000,000 of paid-
for business being recorded for 1933,
the largest amount of new business
obtained by a Canadian company dur
ing that period. Dividends paid to pol-
i icy-holders during 1933 were more
than $16,000,000.
Total assets increased by nearly
$13,000,000 to above $624,000,000. In
the four-year depression period from
the end of the peak year 1929 to the
end of 1933 Sun Life’s assets increas
ed by more than $55,000,000, and dur
ing the same period payments to pol
icyholders exceeded $380,000,000.
Business In force is approximately
$2,750,000,000, the Sun Life maintain
ing its position as one of ranking
world companies.
The financial statement shows sub-
tantial Increase in the holding of gov.
ernment and other bonds. Cash in
banks and on hand is more than $18,-
000,000, while interest, dividends and
rents held up remarkably well dur
ing 1933, and dividend requirements
for policyholders were more than
earned. During the year net profit
of approximately $623,000 was re
ceived from sale of securities, but the
investment portfolio remains practi
cally the same as in 1932, except tor
the purp'^se of government and oth
er bonds.
Sherwin-Williams Paint is something- of an old story. For
some years this section has been using- Sherwin-Williams paints
and in their use has been widely referred to as having the best
painted towns in the United States.
Sherwin-Williams paint attracts attention when it is put on
because of its quality and char .icter. It holds that attention af
ter years of service because it retains its color, its covering qual
ity, its body and gives its service for years.
Sherwin-Williams g'?:«,ins its standing because it is made of
g-ood rnaterial, properly mixed and balanced, of colors that
stand light and weather, because its ingredients are chemically
proportioned as well as physically, and because evei'ything that
is put in Sherwin-Williams paint is put there to make a product
that is designed for the uses for which the paint is applied.
BUT EVERYBODY KNOWS
SHERWIN-WILLIAMS PAINT
THIS IS MERELY A REMINDER THAT NOW IS A GOOD
TIME TO BE PAINTING YOUR PREMISES AND THAT
AT THE PINEHURST WAREHOUSES,
YOU FIND SHERWIN-Wn^LIAMS
PAINT AS HAS BEEN THE CASE
FOR MANY YEARS.
And the Reason Is Because We Can’t Find
Any Other Paint That Is As Good.
Misses Katie Harrington and An
nie Borst were joint hostesses at a
most attractive Valentine-Bridge
party last Friday evening, honoring
the Merry-Makers and other guests.
Miss Harrington greeted the guests
at the door, presenting each with a
heart-shaped valentine. The reading
of these created much merriment. Red
tapers in mahogany holders and vases
of red flowers emphasized the Val
entine note. Five tables were in play.
High score was held by Miss Flora
McDonald, our popular county dem-
on.strator, low score was held by
Mrs. W. M. Wooten. In a clever and
snappy rhyme, Mis.s Borst presented
an exquisite lace handkerchief to
Miss McDonald, and Miss Hirrington
made an unique pun in presenting a
bottle of ketchup, dressed as a ne
gro mammy to Mrs. Wooten. While
Valentine refreshments were served,
a beautiful musical program, con
sisting of several vocal selections by
Miss Helen Parker and a violin num.
ber by Miss Marie Parker, nieces of
Miss Borst, accompanied by their
mother, was rendered, which added
muqh to the evening's pleasure.
