We report that we have examined the above condensed Balance Sheet as at Decem
ber 31, 1936, and compared it with the books and vouchers at Head Office and with the
certified returns from the Branches. We have examined the cash, and the securities repre-
Renting the Bank’s investments, held at the Head Office and certain of the larger Branches
as at December 31. 1936, and in addition we examined the cash and the securities held at
certain of the important Branches during the year. We have obtained al! the information
ana explanations that we nave required, and in our opinion the transactions of the Bank
which have come under our notice have been'within the powers of the Bank.
In our opinion the Balance Sheet discloses the true condition of the Bank and is
as shown by the books of the Bank.

A Message from the Premier o£
New Brunswick
To me it seems strange that one-
should be coaxed or coerced into eat-,
ing fish and, to my mind, it presup
poses a mental resistance to overem
phasize the health-giving and energiz
ing qualities of fish. While I do not
doubt for a minute that fish contains
superb food qualities, I prefer to eat
fish because it pleases the palate like-
nothing else will.
Living, as we do, on the Atlantic-
Seaboard where fish of all varieties
'■ are readily available in abundance,
we are naturally deeply interested in
having the peple of our sister pro
vinces make use of our food supplies;:
but despite my mercenary interest as-
a public man in the natural resourc
es of oux* Province, my own experi--
ence prompts me to advise people to-
use fish liberally because of its oww
delightful appeal.
Mix ingredients thoroughly. Bring
slowly to a boil. Boil rapidly, stirring
constantly. Cool. Beat until creamy,
then knead until smooth and plastic.
