Hackney, occupied read the following record the death in April last of the late William ^A. Turnbull, who for twenty-two years was the able and efficient Secretary- Treasurer of this Company and was auditor for some fifteen years be­ fore being appointed Manager. An appropriate wreath was sent as a token of respect from the Company. Your President has pleasure in presenting this the sixty-fourth, an­ nual report of the Company. I feel it an honour to stand before you today as your President, to give you a few facts about our business. Our losses this year have been some six thousand dollars less than a year ago. There were eighty- nine claims settled, and of these sixty-seven were losses by lightn­ ing. One fire was of unknown origin. The instalment payments are well kept up, thanks to the Secretary- Treasurer, who is aided in this branch of the work by the Agents and the Directors. But it is well for policy-holders who neglect to pay their instalments when due to realize they are carrying their own risks. Care should be taken to see all stove pipes are safe, that i line and coal oil are carefully hand­ led. Great care should be taken whe’re tractors and gasoline engines are used in or near buildings, and smoking should not be allowed around barns or stables, and around threshing machines. The chief caus­ es of fire are: defective chimneys, and pipes, lightning, misuse of elec­ tricity, matches, smoking, gasoline and coal oil. We must realize that Canada is at War and we as patriotic and loyal citizens must do what we can to help win the war. Men are need­ ed to fight, to make munitions and arms. Food stuffs are needed for these vast armies and workers. The civilian population Large crops must saved. It is then up to our efforts to see that waste and especially There are many preventable fires. We can be watchful of these. Prices on all lines will be higher and it is to our advantage to be thirfty and save as the demand for our resour­ ces will be greatly increased. May I urge every policyholder to do' his best to prevent fires from all sour­ ces under his control. The Auditors’ report was given by Wm. Johns. He gave credit to the new system of books. He said there are two sources of income, instalments and interest. The Com­ pany at present is levying a ten cent rate and for 19(39 it took a 17 cent rate to pay expenditure. The full list of securities were produced and examineed in the manager’s of­ fice, Bank of Commerce, Exeter. If Britain wins the war our securities are gilt for the $16,5 50-. There policies with ance of $414,6'95.0-0- the total in­ surance now in force being almost $14,0'00,'000. Messrs. Wm. A,. Thos. G. Ballantyne as Directors for the years. Messrs. Wm. bert Duncan were re-elected as au­ ditors. At the close of the annual meet­ ing John Hackney was elected as President and John McGrath, Vice- President. B. W. F. Beavers was re-engaged as Secretary-Treasurer. ! that gaso- Liberals of the Huron-Perth con­ stituency will gather at Hensail on Friday, February 9 th to nominate a candidate for the forth-coming Fed­ eral election, it was decided Friday afternoon at a meeting of the ex­ executive held in Hensall. Consider­ ing the condition of the roads, the gathering was fairly well attended. The executive endorsed a resolu­ tion of confidence in the adminis­ tration of the Rt. Hon. W. L.

The classy Lobo six of the Middlesex league had an edge in the play throughout the game, their passing being very effective. It was a clean, fast game, and the fans were well repaid by a good brand of hockey. There was no scoring in the first period, although Lobo swarmed around the local net, but due to the sensational goal-tending of Ford they were unable to net the puck. After two minutes of the second frame, W. Gorman took Brown’s pass at the blue line to open the scoring. Wallace made it 2-0 by batting in Andrew’s rebound. Creech brought the locals to life with a nice bit of stick-handling only to loose control of the disc in 'front of the goal. Late in Brown sparked an rounding the defense the puck behind Ford. Early in the third caught with only one back and W. Gorman and MTacIntyre on a nice duet put the disc behind Ford. W. Gorman got Ths third goal when Cornish passed the puck in front of the net, and Gorman batted' it in. Brqwn cashed in on McNaughton’S pass several minutes lat'er to make the score 6-0. Lobo never slackened and Wallace then caught the upper corner of the cage ’with >;a long shot. iCornish netted Exeter’s first tally. Checking a rush at the blue line he went thro’ the whole Lobo ^eam and back- handed the puck behind Hunt. Ex­ eter came righf back and Ryckflian set up a nice pass to Moise who flipped it into the cage. W. Gorman got his fourth' tally on a pass from Brown.
