: the coming year, an increase of
more than $2 million over 1954.
New life insurance sold in 1954
' amounted io nearly $700 million,
" an increase of $120 million over
xhe previous year. This new
business figure is the largest re
ported for Ihe year by any Can
adian company, much of it hav
ing b e ft n so'd in the United
Stales 'where Sun Life has 3S
of its business in force, and
branches in major cities from
coast to coast. Included, in the
new business figure was $239
million of grouo insurance
resentmg an increase of $68
million over the 1S53 figure.
Total Sun Life insurance in force
now exceeds $6 billion.

Report include $41,365,000 paid
. to beneficiaries of deceased pol
icyholders and S92,985,000 paid

zation, in 1865 to $2,866 million.
MORTGAGE LOANS UP
Mr. Bourke declared that the
contribution by life insurance
to new housing in the United
States and Canada looms larger
every year. During 1954, Sun
Life mortgage loans increased
by more than any other type of
; investment, and by the end of
the year the Company had $323,
000.000 invested in mortgages,
mostly in individual homes.
The Sun Life of Canada with
93 of its total business in force
. in the United States. Canada
and Great Britain, holds 46 of
its invested assets in the United
States.
Mr. Bourke, in his Report,
expressed optimism for Canada's
continued prosperity. "A year
ago I told you that I looked for
ward to 1954. with every confi
dence," he declared. 'That con
fidence proved to be justified
and is in 'no way lessened for
. 1955." '
A copy of Sun Life's complete
; 1954 Annual Report to Policy
holders, including the Presi
dent's review .of the year, is
5 being sent to each policyholder,
or may be obtained from Charles
E. Jones, Box 1123, Medford.

"Another wedding, which was
a complete surprise, was that of
Sgt. Elmer Schermerhorn to
Ann Bingham, of Medford, at
the Salvation Army church last
Saturday afternoon.
Mrs. Helen L. Pearson, chief
dietitian at the VA hospital at
Sioux Falls, S.D., has arrived to
take over similar duties at this
station. The position was made
vacant by the retirement of Mrs.
Edna Girard on Christmas day
The position of assistant engi
neer held by Joe Smith this past
year will be filled Feb. 13 by
Jack E. Duane, who is leaving a
similar post at the Denver VA
hospital. , -i-y . , "
Camp White was rated second
among the VA installations in
the western area for its 1954
record in safety and accident
prevention. Vancouver VA hos'
pital gained the top honor, it is
reported.
Mrs. Myrtle E. Brown, infirm
ary nurse, who flew to Hawaii
for a month's visit with her son,
W. A. Brown, stationed with the
Navy at Pearl Harbor, came
back by boat and recommends
this as the ideal vacation. Won
derful climate the year round
and lots of beautiful, flowers,
were her most vivid recollections.
The domiciliary center is six
years old this month. There are
few of the first inhabitants re
maining as members. The one
best known is Capriel A. "Ca
sey" Jones. He was with the
vanguard which reached Camp
White in January, 1949, and
holds registration number eight.
"Casey" has another record
of the early bird variety. He is
the first man to greet the arri
val of The Mail Tribune deliv
ery car every afternoon and
Sunday morning. He wants his
news first, always. .:
It so happens now there is an
item of news about "Casey" in
the fact that he had a visitor the
other day. His sister, Mrs. Bur
ton Wortendyke, came here
from Portland to see him and
to visit with friends nearby.
"Auditions" were held Friday
afternoon at the theater for 25
member, performers who were
rounded up by Jim Rea, the new
recreation assistant, in the try
outs for the acts being arranged
for the annual Tifrnabout party
to be held Friday evening, Feb.
25. Jerry Girard, producing the
show, . offered no comment on
the results but promised a com
plete statement after : the first
rehearsal. . v

$50 Paid To Marilyn Monroe for Nude
Calendar Pose Proves Good Investment
State Parks Receive
Heaviest Use in '54
Salem The Oregon State
Highway commission has an
nounced the heaviest annual
usage on record in Oregon's State
Parks during the past year.
' Over 5,800,000 persons took
advantage of new facilities and
redeveloped and newly devel
oped state park areas to smash
all existing park records for at
tendance, in a single year. Pre
vious record attendance in Ore
gon's parks was in-1952, when
over 5,390,000 persons used the
areas for various types of recre
ation. 1
Chicago - (U.R) John Baum
garth's best investment was the
$50 he once paid to Marilyn
Monroe.
Baumgarth,' a calendar manu
facturer, owns sole rights to the
famous nude photographer of
the shapely star.
But he never realized what a
gold mine he had until Marilyn
was on her way to stardom.
Baumgarth is head of a firm
which makes 25,000,000 calen
dars a year, most of them with
pictures of small boys at play,
or landscapes.
He ordered the Monroe pic
ture taken after watching Mari
lyn pose in a bathing suit and
sailor cap several years ago. She
was a struggling unknown at
the time.
"It was on one of my trips to
Hollywood," Baumgarth said. "I
go out there twice a year."
He asked the photographer,
Tom Kelly, if he could pose Miss
Monroe in the nude.
Wife Present
"He told me she'd probably
refuse," Baumgarth said. "So I
suggested that he have his wife
present during the shooting."
The calendar manufacturer
said he paid Kelly $500 for
taking the picture. Marilyn got
only- $50
Baumgarth got a release her since their first casual meet-
granting him full rights to use
the model's name and the pho
tograph for any purpose he saw
fit.
But he didn't know what a
good thing he had until Miss
Monroe was starred in the film,
"The Asphalt Jungle."
Baumgarth had printed a few
of the calendars, but he had
even forgotten the model's name
when his secretary shoved a cal
endar in his face and said:
"Know who this is? It's Mari
lyn Monroe."
"You're crazy," he said.
When he came out of shock,
he locked the original in a vault
and promptly stepped up pro
duction. The picture, perhaps propheti
cally, was entitled, "Golden
Dream." It proved just that for
Baumgarth. He has sold about
5,000,000 copies and has realized
about $500,000 on his modest in
vestment. "Some people think I'm . a
genius for picking Marilyn Mon
roe as a model," he said. "Be
lieve me,. I'm not. I was just
standing on a corner when some
body showered me with money."
He said Miss Monroe never
has shared in production of the
calendars, and he - hasn't met
ing in - Kelly's studio;
Baumgarth now has burlesque
queen Evelyn West, whose bust
is insured for $50,000, under
contract for a calendar pose. ; -
But it won't be any $50 bar
gain. He is paying Evelyn $12,
500 for a single picture.
"This js .a strange business,"
he said.
