The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1952-03-06, Page 5THE TIMES-ADVOCATE, EXETER, ONTARIO, THURSDAY MORNING, MARCH 6, 1952 Pag« 5 Hay Mutual Secretary Retires After 18 Years Of Service The seventy-seventh annual meeting of the policy-holders of the Hay Township Farmers’ 'Mu­ tual Fire Insurance Company was held in the town hall, Zu­ rich, recently. William Haugh, president, was appointed chair­ man and H. K. Either, secretary of the meeting. Before the com­ mencement of business, two min­ utes silence was observed in re­ spect to the passing of King Gorge VI. The president in his address stated that the amount at risk now totals $19,992,220, an in­ crease of $ 2,203,200. During the past year 957 new and re­ newed policies were issued to the amount of $8,155,100. The reinsurance with the Usfeorne & Hibbert, West Wawanosh, Mc- Killop and Howick Mutuals is increasing each year. A study of the statements mailed to the policy-holders shows we have had another successful year of co-operative work together. Dur­ ing the past year there were 9 6, claims paid amounting to $16,- 069,62 and with the reinsurance losses paid other companies of $3,777.94 there was a total loss payment of 19,847,56. The los­ ses paid for live-stock amounted to $7,396,32 compared with $3,- 108.10 of the previous year. Fire extinguishers are still be­ ing distributed among our policy- holders and in a number of in­ stances have proven their value. A sum of $207.50 was paid to the different Fire Brigades for POP’S Taxi Service Phones: Exeter 357 and 345-r-3 ■ ............. .......... ............ < I II--------------- ---------------------------- We Have in Stock: Dry White Pine 1x5 and 1x6 Matched Also 1 x 4 - 5 - 6 - 8 - 10 and 12 inches Dressed 4 sides A.

The surplus increased $6,571.82. Due to the change in values of livestock, the Board of Directors decided to call a meeting of the executive of the reinsuring com­ panies and try to work out some method of coverage which would, be more in keeping with present values and as a result commenc­ ing with January 2, market val­ ue would be paid on grade cat­ tle providing the insured carries 80 per cent coverage and for purebred or registered stock, the limit payable for any one ani­ mal up to 12 months is to be $300 and over that age $550 with the special privilege of in­ suring any one animal up to $1,- 000 by giving the registered name and number of such ani­ mal. In this particular case, the insured must carry 100 per cent coverage on such type of ani­ mals. Reference was also made to the resignation of H. K. Eilber, sec­ retary for the past 18 years due to ill health. The officials ex­ pressed regret in losing his ser­ vices as he and his father have been connected with the Hay Mu­ tual for the past 76 years. Appreciation was also made by the President to the splendid co-operation existing between the officials and members of the Board of Directors. The General By-laws of the Company were changed so that the date of the annual meeting was fixed for the third day of February in each year instead of the last Monday of January. Mr. John A. Morrison, "presi­ dent of the East Williams Fire Insurance Company and formei’ president of the MFUA Associa­ tion spoke briefly on fire pre­ vention and the extra hazards which, are so rapidly developing in rural ditsricts and cautioned extreme care in the use of gaso­ line and the installation of Hy­ dro appliances. Some discussion followed concerning the use of bean cookers and electric brood­ ers in buildings. Fred J. Haberer, Clarence Parke and Ezra Webb were re­ elected directors for three years, and J. W. Haberer and George Deichert auditors for another year. After the meeting, the Board of Directors reconvened and Ezra Webb was elected president and Clarence Park vice-presi­ dent for the ensuing year. Ar- angements were also made to have the president, vice-presi­ dent, secretary and agent attend the annual convention of the MFUA in Toronto next" month.

Ottawa’s Mistake * —Continued from page 2 majority. In other words, the business before the Legislature concerns all the people of On­ tario, irrespective of political pre­ ferences, and every itenx can well be considered strictly oix its merits. That after all is the fair and democratic way of conduct­ ing public business—a truth which Premier Frost and his Cabinet (and his whole team at Queen’s Park) must recognize to the full.
