With its millions of capital 1t is do
Ing untold good and as the presi-
dents story proceeded all present
felt that here was a great leader
who had developed q marvellous or
ganization for the welfare of human
ity. Mr.. Fiske interlarded his re-
marks with concrete examples of
the beneficent results Of the prac-
teal policies OF his great company
and told of the loyalty and service
of the thousands of men who are
associated with him in all parts of
the United States and Canada in de-
veloping still better things in the dis
charge OF their stewardship. He
paid Mr.. Heathcote a tribute which
must have warmed the cookies of
the Harrisburg managers heart. 1t
was so sincere and so intimate and
appreciative that all present felt the
testimonial of public recognition was
worthily bestowed. He referred to
the fact that four members of the
Heathcote family had given a total
of sixty years of service to the Met
ropolitan and read telegram of
congratulation from one brother to
another, dwelling upon the splendid
character OF the men who had made
possible the development of the
company's welfare work and its in
surance plans for the benefit of thou
sands all over the land.
Interesting Souvenirs
Others who were called upon for
after dinner speeches and who COM
plimented Mr.. Heathcote and Incl
dentally the great company which
he represents were F. o. Ayres, the
second vice-president; James A.
Kavanagh. the third vice president;
James S. Smithies, the superintend-
ent of agencies; William Jennings.
who spoke as the pastor of Mr..
Heathcote and DR.. H. B. Walter, who
represented the medical force of the
company.
An interesting souvenir OF the din
ner was folder containing an etch-
ing of Mr.. Heathcote and a fac
simile of his first policy written
when he was an agent of the COM
pany at Detroit, Mich. The woman
who was insured through his activ-
ity is still living as a policyholder
of the company.
An interesting incident of the din
ner was the explanation that the an
niversary banquet had been post
poned during the war and until the
completion of the Penn-Harris Hotel.
So that as a matter of fact Mr..
Heathcote has served the company
four years longer than the anni-
versary occasion would seem to in
dicate and all present last night eX-
pressed the hope that he might live
to repeat the occasion a quarter GEN.
tury hence.
In the remarks of the guest of
honor he especially complimented
the visiting nurses who were pres
ent for the fine service which they
had rendered and are constantly
rendering among the policyholders
of the Metropolitan in teaching peo-
pie how to live and how to keep
we'll under proper health conditions.
