Navy Goes Down
In a high scoring affair at
Arena, Thursday evening, the Cen
tralia Flyers trimmed the ' London
Navy 15-9.
The game opened at a fast clip
and when Maundrell netted a quick
goal ’on a long shot to open the
scoring it looked as though the
seamen were going to give the
Flyers quite a battle. However,
when the second line paraded out
and whipped in three quick ones
off the sticks of McAtee and Shaw,
McAtee getting the first two, the
scene soon changed and from then
on Centralia were the masters.

To the Members of
Hibbert Mutual Fire
Our sixty-ninth Annual Report
has been, mailed to our policyhold
ers, showing the progress of the
Company during 1944, The Com
pany is steadily increasing, having
3 4 more policies and $603,830.00
more insurance than in 1943. Tlfb
increase in surplus was $12,264.54.
Ten thousand dollars was invested
in the seventh Victory Loan,
The losses paid amounted to
$10,865.05 of which over one third
was paid for livestock killed by
lightning. Another one third was
for buildings and contents destroy
ed by. lightning, and the other one
third for losses from various causes.
The lightning losses on livestock
were the largest in the history of
the Company, The owner should
check over his stock after a storm,
and if he has a loss he should call
his nearest Director to investigate.
We wish to thahk our policy
holders for the interest they have]
taken in keeping fifes down to a I
record level, and hope you will con
tinue to guard against all prevent
able fires, such as those caused by
faulty chimneys, defective stove'
pipes, drying clothes near the'
stoves; and around the outbuildings
from tractors, trucks and cars, and
brooddr house. Remember, it is;
almost impossible to replace or re
build aftbr a fire now.
We cannot emphasize too strong
ly the need of keeping your instal
ments paid up, and your policy al
ways in good standing. The war is.
still on but We are nearer victory.
Let us hope that the year 1945 will
see a lasting peace signed, arid our
brave men returned to civilian life,.
The Directors met for organiza
tion at the close of the annual meet
ing and elected William A. Hamil
ton, president; William H. Coates,
vice-president; B. W. F. Beavers,
