The world's oldest lighthouse at Corunna, Spain, and was probably erected by the Phoenicians to mark their course to Wales. 9 During 1946, The Equitable Society distributed 287 million dollars in benefits to policyholders and their families- -an average of more than a million dollars for each workday in the year.

What better use could you make of such a huge sum of money than to make it serve some basic human need to help keep a family together when tragedy strikes, to send a child to college or start a son in business, to assure financial independence to someone in the twilight years of life? The 287 million dollars paid out by The Equitable Society during 1946 was used for just such purposes as these. Widows, chil-. dren and other beneficiaries, for instance, received 101 million toward their support. Another 35 million was paid out as retirement income. Through Group Insurance, benefits of over 56 million in death, disability and pension payments helped relieve distress in workers' families.

Other benefits, including dividends to policyholders, totaled 95 milliop dollars. To its 3,500,000 members throughout the land, The Equitable Society is the promise of family security. Joined together in this great co-operative enterprise, they have increased the amount of life insurance they have in force by over 1350 million dollars during 1946 now own over billion dollars worth of peace of mind. Dividends Reduce Cost The benefit payments distributed by The Equitable Society over the years, together with the funds held to fulfill present policies, exceed by 1300 million dollars the total amount of premiums received by the Society since its founding. This year alone nearly 52 million dollars has been set aside for payment to policyholders as dividends; thus reducing the wet cost of their protection.

By investing more of their earnings in life insurance than ever before, the American people are achieving a two-fold objective: Aside from the primary purpose of providing systematically in advance for their future security, they are helping to combat the inflationary forces at work in our economy. Preserve Value of Dellar The decline in the "real" value of the dollar continues to be matter of major concern to all thinking Americans. In the interest of its policyholders and all other people four country, the management of The Equitable Society will continue to urge the adoption of a national fiscal policy which will preserve the "'real" value of the savings of the American people.
