relation J ship to the of the people of the United State and Canada cannot effectively be portrayed by figures in a balance sheet Cold figures can never adequately show human needs and their fulfillment It is therefore to try to interpret these figures in terms of the millions of people they represent and the millions who benefit by the use of the services rendered By the Company and its Agents The Metropolitan was serving Life insurance policyholders at the close of the year The personal phases of Life insurance for it is a highly personal business are highlighted daily by dramatic instances Sometimes they are so unusual as to give special emphasis to the part our business plays in the life of the United States and Canada The following quotation from a letter from the son of a deceased policyholder requesting the return of a policy on which claim had been paid tells with simple sincerity a moving story of a Life insurance policy of the sons relationship with his father and of a sound process of economic and social education This policy has for me possibly a greater sentimental value than it would have cash value For you to understand this you would hare to know the years of close relationship and confidence that existed between my father and me When I was a small boy he would take me with him to his safety deposit vault Always he stressed to me the im portance of his insurance policy how this piece of paper would some day have a cash value that might tide the family oyer in an emergency Time has passed but the sentimental worth of this piece of paper in my thinking I have always been told that business especially Big Business is hard and cold and rigid but I know that this is not so because business is made up of people People with hearts and souls and loved ones and people who have lost loved one and some who possibly think and feel the same way that I do We were of course pleased to grant this unusual request The record sum of 924000000 was paid in benefits to policyholders and beneficiaries during 1951 This included payments of on more than claims five times ten years ago for Accident and Health and Disability benefits A new high was also reached in Life insurance in force 4851 2000COO a gain of more than over More people than ever were protected last year by Metropolitan Accident and Health insurance As the year closed the Company had in force policies or certificates providing weekly indemnity for disability of per week or Medical Expense benefits were provided by 2744000 policies or certificates Another significant development during the year was the introduction of Extended Medical Coverage through Group insurance to protect people against abnormal hospital surgical and medical expense that might exhaust a familys entire
