ANNUAL MEETING The annual meeting of the Hay Township Farmers* Mutual Fire In­ surance Co., was held in the Town Hall, Zurich, on Monday, January 30th. Due to the storm the attend­ ance was not very large. The three retiring directors were re-elected as follows: Geo. Arm­ strong, Albert Hendrick and Oscar Klopp. The auditors, Jacob Haberer and Kenneth Routledge were also re-appointed. Following the annual meeting the Directors elected Wm. Sweitzer, of Dashwood, President, and Thomas Webb, of Grand Bend, Vice-Presi­ dent for the year X939. John Armstrong, President of the Company, was chairman and H. K. Eilber acted as Secretary. The fol­ lowing is the Director’s Report as read by the President: Zurich, Ont., Jan. 30th, 1939 To the Members of the Hay Town­ ship Farmers’ Mutual Fire Insur­ ance Co. Gentlemen:— The Directors take pleasure in presenting you with the 64th Annual Report of the Company for the year ending December 31st, 1938. During thd year, we issued 669 policies representing an amount of $2,605,650 and the number of poli­ cies on the 31st of December 19 3 S is 2,063 with a total amount of in­ surance in force of $8,218,570.00. Although we have only increased the number of policies by 8 the risk has increased $231,400, We have tried to educate our policy holders to in­ crease the insurance carried on live­ stock to 80% per cent, of it’s value as required by the terms of policy contract, at the taking of the appli­ cation. Failing to do so renders the Assured liable to bear that pro­ portion of any live-stock loss that the amount actually carried falls short of the 80% requirement. While troubles from this source are being gradually eliminated through the splendid co-operation of the members in placing the required amount of coverage, odd cases do occur where the insurance is ex­ tremely low and in the interests of using all policy holders alike, the payment of such claims must be ad­ justed as provided. Unfortunately we have had sever­ al large losses the past year. The total being $14,381.35 and of this amount $8,684.65 from an unknown origin. $1,063.65 was paid for los­ ses occuring from stove, stove-pipes and chimneys. These losses repre­ sent 17.49c. per $100.00 insurance^ whereas we only collect 15c per $100 on our policies. Our surplus for the year has therefore decreased $3,069.- 04. The most of these losses could have been prevented if proper pre­ cautions had been taken. Are we going to allow this controllable loss to continue? Every policy holder should consider this loss with alarm. We have been trying to educate our policy holders by distributing folders with the polities on Fire Pre­ vention and we earnestly urge you to clean your chimneys and pipes regularly; remove all rubbish from the stoves and furnaces; deposit ashes only in metal containers; avoid use of gasoline and do not start fires with kerosene. The use of cigarettes around the buildings should be prohibited and care should be taken by smokers about the use of matches. If you use hydo, do not change the wiring or size of fuses without consulting a qualified electrician. The Board of Directors has been considering the purchase and distri­ bution of fire extinguishers and met­ al spark arresters among the policy holders but thought it might be a matter for discussion at this .meet­ ing. An^ analysis of results over a period of four years has been made by a Company which shows that in that time out of a total of 1,47 6 fires, 1272 ox* 86.18 per cent, were put out; 104 were checked and 100 failed. The total amount of the loss was $70,060.17 out of an Insur­ ance of $2,133,000 affected. The price of these extinguishers is $1,25 on lots of two dozen or more. LEAVITT’S THEATRE THURSDAY.

Notwithstand­ ing the Company’s freedom from liability under such circumstances, an Inspector is usuany sent out, only to find perhaps a badly decomposed carcass, on which it is impossible to detect any evidence of marks of lightning. During the summer, we held a picnic at Grand Bend with the idea of getting our people together to discuss fire prevention. Unfortunate­ ly the attendance wasn’t as large as desired due to the harvest being un­ derway. We were favoured with a representative of the Fire Marshal’s Office, Mr. A’. Gillanders, of Ridge­ town, who gave a talk on “Municipal Fire Protection,’’ Mr. W. R. Cross, secretary of the Mutual Underwrit­ ers’ Association and Mr. Vanskiver, of Picton, who gave a demonstration on the value of fire extinguishers. Our company during the year made donations to a number of Fire Brig­ ades who gave valuable assistance in putting out fires which might have meant a greater loss of property than actually happened. We under­ stand there is a movement under way to start a Municipal Fire Protection System in the Township of Hay. This we heartily endorsA and we trust the idea will be carried into effect. Our Directors also attended the special meeting of Group No. 4 which was held in London last Fall and were given the privilege of listening to an illustrated lecture delivered by Mr. Bishop of the Fire Marshal’s Department on the dangers of gaso­ line and electrical wiring. Mr. Easton, of the Ayr. Mutual spoke briefly on their .s.uccess with spark arresters which are ’ fastened to chimneys. They have proven very successful and have saved consider­ able property. He said these ar­ resters cost from $2.10 to $2,70 each depending on size and are sold to the policy holders for $1.50 each. This is paid in three instalments of 50c a year for three, years when the annual instalment becomes due. The Company hires, a man with a truck and after a directors’ meeting, the Secretary gives .this man a list of names. of those who have asked for the arresters and the work is then done at once. If the work were to be done by the policy holder, it mightn’t be done at all. Due to the fact that Pasteurization Plants are now being installed by dairymen all thro’ the' Province our Board of Directors, at the request of the Department of Insurance and the Fire Marshal, increased the an­ nual rate of insurance to 30c per $100 on such plants and on all other insured property isolated less than eighty feet from the building in which the Pasteurization plant is contained. Our Secretary and Agent attended the Convention of the Mutual Under­ writers in Toronto, March 15th and 16th where they gained cosiderable valuable information. Our company had the honor of having their sec­ retary appointed a member of the Executive of this Association;.

It Always Pays to Shop at LINDENFIELD’S HARDWARE Phone 181 Exeter By examining the report you will find the amount collecter for instal­ ments, membership fees on new risks and interest, we were $38.27 short of paying our losses and as a result, the bank balance has been reduced from $7,893.83 as on December 31, 1937 to $4,974.90 on Dec. 31, 1938. Fortunately we have been able to meet all our obligations without cashing any investments. These bonds and debentures are gilt-edge and if sold on the market at to-day’s quotations, we would realize a pro­ fit of over $3,800. Your Directors desire, through the medium of this annual message to call attention to certain deficiencies which occur in connection with claims for live stock losses, frequent­ ly delaying payment of and some- ,times entirely invalidating such claims. In doing so there is no thought of intimidating the members into stricter compliance with theii1 policy conditions, but it is confident­ ly felt that a better co-operation vol­ untarily will result from an under­ standing of the matter. Perhaps the most frequent of these is the failure to report the loss as specified in the policy, within twenty-four hours of the storm during which it is alleged to have occured; very) often due to delay in the finding of Outstanding Speaker Gypsy Simon Smith was the speak­ er at three services in the Main St-. United Church on Sunday. There was a fair crowd at the morning service in spite of the storm. The other ser- 7ices were well attended as was the service Monday evening. Gypsy Smith is an outstanding speaker and his messages were appealing to his hearers. He was the guest of Mrs. Chas. Johns while here. 16 Cash Prizes will be given away in the Times-Advocate Subscription Contest. Just Planning '.' ’ The farmer was showing his new hand around the farm, explaining all the jobs he Would have to do. When the list had been complet­ ed the man asked: “How about clearing the snow from around the house?” Farmer: “What on earth do you mean? There’s no snow at this time of the year.” New Hand: “No, but by the time I've finished my jobs there will be.” 9- f Dashwood Public School Holds Crediton to Tie The first of a series of open-air hockey games between Dashwood and Crediton Public Schools ended in a 1-1 tie at the Crediton open-air rifik on the Aux Sable River Tues­ day, January 24th. Despite a very heavy snowfall which might have stopped sturdier teams these young enthusiasts battled through three periods of thrill-packed hockey. Dashwood scored after seven minutes of play. This aroused the young blood of -Crediton and during the second period -they beat the Dash­ wood goalie by landing the puck past his nimble limbs. Any further at­ tempts seemed futile and 'the third period ended in the 1-1 tie. STEPHEN TEACHERS MEET AT CREDITON PUBLIC SCHOOL The Stephen Teachers* Association was entertained by the staffs of S.
