PATRON MAY DO HIS OWN PROCESSING The question was asked as to whether the farmer or patron could do his butchering at home? The answer is YES'. If the farmer wishes to do his butchering, wrapping and labeling at home and bring it to the locker, there is no reason why he should not do so. Why not talk the matter over with us. Our advice may help you in processing your meat. Laid to Rest The funeral of the late Alan Mof­ fatt, aged 7 years, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. J. R. C.

The weather was fine and the roads good so that the hall was fill­ ed to capacty. The president Mr. An­ gus Sinclair occupied the chair in his usual efficient and capable man­ ner. His address is 'printed below and shows the steady progress of the company. Mr. Gilbert Duncan gave the auditors’ report showing all ac­ counts are kept in >a correct and sat­ isfactory manner. Messrs. W. H. Coates and John McGrath were re-elected Directors for the ensuing three years. Messrs. Win, Johns and Gilbert Duncan were re-elected auditors. At the Directors’ meeting after the annual meeting Mr. John was elected President and McGrath, vice-president. The president’s* address It is my privilege and honor to ad­ dress you at this the 63rd Annual Meeting, as your president. I esteem it a great honor to be the President of such a progressive Mutual Insur­ ance Co. as this. Year by year our business has steadily increased until how we have 3 23 6 Policies with ah insurance of $13,480,185.00 which is an increase during the last year of 90 Policies and $421,585.00 of insurance. While our insurance has increased over $400,000.00 our surplus has drop­ ped from $100,7'36.55 at the end of 1937, to $87,195.00 at the end of 1938 a decrease of $13,541.52. The increase in net losses amounted tc $14,945.10 which means that half our losses were paid out of surplus. There was a loss of almost $1,000.00 on a farm mortgage which the Com­ pany held. The sharp increase in loss during 1938 indicates the heed for a special campaign of fire prevention by the Company in 1939. There should be a careful review of all applications in order to eliminate any causes of over insurance. Examination should be made of chimneys, pipes, stoves and furnaces, lightning rod installations, and electric wiring. The use of wa­ ter sprayers in blowers of threshing machines should be encouraged. The use of cigarettes and smoking at the threshings should be thoroughly con­ demned. We are loathe to report fires of unknown origin and believe the Us­ borne & Hibbert should be taking steps to be a leader in fire preven­ tion and I would ask that at this meeting some action of this nature might be taken to encourlage the Di­ rectors to carry on some plan of this kind of work. We have a careful, capable, pains­ taking Secretary-Treasurer, annd. we are glad to report that his work is entirely satisfactory to oui’ own Au­ ditors and to the Department of isurance. This last year he has up a new system of books which meant considerable extra work. Exeter High School won third game when they defeated Park­ hill on Wednesday of last week in a return game played here. Siddal opened the scoring for Parkhill early in the first period.

In the second period Exeter scor­ ed early when Moise got two goals in rapid succession, Ryckman get­ ting assists on both goals. Griffith scored for Parkhill when ne netted a pass from Yelle. Moise got third goal of the period when sunk Moore’s pass-out. Moise got his fifth goal of game in the third period when scored on Brook’s pass. Ryckman ended the scoring on a pass from Wuerth The game ended 7 to 2 for Exeter. Jack Moise, star centre of the Exeter team got five goals for the second successive time.

BRINSLEY his he the he Says Varicose Veins Can Be Reduced At Home—Small Cost If you or any relative or friend iB wow ried because. of varicose veins, or bunches, as. good advice for home treatment as any friend can give, is to get a prescription; known as Moone’s Emerald Oil. Simply wk your druggist for an original bottle of Moone’s Emerald Oil and apply night and morning to the swollen, enlarged veins. Soon you should notice that they are growing smaller and the treatment should be continued until the veins are no longer burdensome. So penetrating and efficient is Emerald Oil that it also helps simple swell­ ings due to strain to disappear. was then made for the girls. Scripture In­ set has A new safe was purchased to take oare of the extra books and papers. The $5,000 worth of British Mortgage Trust Company’s debentures matur­ ed in 1938 and the proceeds invested in Province of New Brunswick Bonds bearing interest at 3 % per cent. $9,- 000 worth of Huron & Erie deben­ tures were sold to pay losses. The Agents have been careful in selecting new risks and a number of undesirable policies have been drop- to all and all the ped. The Directors have tried make careful investigations of fires and damage by lightning, have endeavored to be'fair at times to the policy-holder and Company. I trust the Company will go on in the same careful manner as it has done in the past and that the policy-holders will give every co-op­ eration in fire prevention and will do all possible to stop the ravages of destructive fires.

Auditors for the year I Forest and Exeter Tie effort disc in t.o put swoop- Exeter and Forest played to a 3-3 deadlock in the Arena Tuesday night Both teams put on an exhibition of fast hockey. Forest’s effective com­ bination held the edge on Exeter for most of the game but the locals came from behind twice to knock off the lead of their rivals. Forest, open­ ing the game at a fast clip, secured an early lead when McCachern, and Trotter combined in a nice with McCachern putting the the net.. Exeter now began on the pressure and Cornish ed in on Rendall only to hit the goal post. A few minutes later Cor­ nish ajgain threatened to ,tie the score but he muffed his shot while right in on the defenseless goalie. Forest came right back in the second stanza to extend their lead. From a scramble in front of the net Lackie let go a drive, the puck tick­ ed the goal post and bounded in Exeter got their first tally when Snell scored on a perfect pass from Beaver. In . the beginning of the third per­ iod Forest made things -hot for Bun­ ny Ford in the nets. The visitors did everything but score. Exeter fought desperately to tie the score and their efforts were rewarded when Ryckman circling the Forest net flipped the puck past Rendall. Ross McChaill put the visitors one up again on a nice solo effort, side­ stepping the defense and netting the puck. Exeter again came from be­ hind when Beavers set up a nice pass to Si Creech whose drive caught the corner of the net. The teams went into overtime but neither side won the decision.
