GREY AND BRUCE TRUST COMPANY HAD GOOD YEAR Annual Report Shows $402,214 In­ crease in Deposits. W» S. Middlebro' presented the fin­ ancial statement of the Grey & Brute Trust & Savings Company for the past year in the absence of C, A. Fleming, the President, who he stat­ ed was enjoying a well-earned! holi­ day Jtt Florida. A large number of shareholders •hBRING Tn RESULTS |H » O 0 Q O n o M particularly ladies, were welcomed by Mr, Middlebro’. In presenting the annual Financial Statement of the company <he stated that after payment of interest on de­ posits, management expenses and pro­ viding for Dominion and Provincial taxes the net profits were $49,106,23 distributed as follows: Two half yearly dividends of 4% and a bonus of 1% $27,335.00 Depreciation on buildings and fixtures— 8,022.70 Transferred to Reserves—• 18,848.53 J -------------- Total— $49,106.23 1 The directors were pleased to re­ port good progress for the year, de­ posits and Guaranteed Investments having increased $402,214, and now totalled ,$3,012,432. He' advised that for each dollar on deposit $1.34 is im vested in. ’ government, municipal bonds and cash. The total of such bonds have increased $143,676 arid now amount, to $1,677,277. Mortgage loans are up $31,741 and , total $1,373,973. While new loans am­ ounting to $123,441 were granted dur- •ing the year substantial repayments have been received during the y.ear. Mr, Middlebro’ stated that the Es­ tates Department continued to show substantial growth. After distributing more than $230,00'0 in cash to benific- iaries during the year the company was able to show an increase of $536,- 397 and the total estates under admin­ istration now amount to $1,331,319. In concluding Mr. Middlebro’ ex-‘ pressed deep regret at the loss of Mp, George Mills, one of our valued dir­ ectors and since the first of this year Mr. W. H. Taylor, both of whom had given valuable service to the company. Bu&iness Has Grown Deposits increased $1,950,000 in ten years, of which $1,600,000. was the in­ crease shown during the past five years, stated Mr. Manning at the an­ nual meeting of the Grey & Bruce Trust & Sayings Co, 'Interesting charts illustrating the increase were presented to the shareholders at the annual meeting. Reserves increased from .$81°,838 to $205,000. in the ten year period. Estates rose from $189,- 000. to $1,331,319. Assets Increased 22^? During Past Year . Assets show ah increase in the past ten years of $3,124,000, and now total $5,152,000. Mr. Manning said that an average of more than sixty new cus­ tomers were being added to the Sav­ ings Deparment of the company each month. Continuing Mr. Manning re­ marked that he did not want to bur-1 den them with a lot of figures but pre­ ferred to dwell on the human side of Trust Company busihess. He stated: “You would be surpris­ ed at the number of widows whose af­ fairs were handled in trust in accord­ ance with their husbands’ instructions as expressed in their wills whereby a home is provided, living expenses and advice on financial affairs; “The number of children for whom we are appointed guardians and have arranged for homes, living expenses, education and even assisted in the choosing of vocations and advised on financial problems — where parents have passed on and through their wills have appointed our company as their executor and trustee; “The number of mentally and phys­ ically incapacitated people for whom the necessities and comforts of life have been provided under trusts and who are mot capable of looking after their own affairs—in this particularly we endeavor to give sympathetic un­ derstanding; “The number of business and pro­ fessional men, many of them doctors, whom we have relieved of the burden of property and investment manage­ ment through living trust agreements which has allowed them to put their entire efforts into their business or profession; “The number of elderly people who have found it too great a worry to look’after their financial affairs, many of them having been influenced un­ wisely in investing, and have placed tlielr business in trust with us in ord­ er that we may be able to conserve their assets, assuring them of an in­ come for life without the worry and risk involved in the re-in vestment of funds; wThe number of societies and com­ panies whose funds we manage—‘giv­ ing safety of capital and a good inter­ est retuiii.*’ _ Xti tfte$e varlcftis services, he con- ■ tinued, The Grey and Bruce Trust and Savings Company is helping to pre­ serve the family life and the economic life of the community. It is contrib­ uting not, only to the conservation of the wealth of clients but is reridering a real helpful service. When Mr. Brown appoints our Trust Company as his executor and trustee his wife is assured of sound business admin­ istration and a friend in time of need- He stated he could give many spe­ cific illustrations of the human serv­ ice being rendered by the officers of the company, but these services are considered entirely confidential and it would not be ethical to discuss them, BACON POLICY WAS EXPLAINED BY. HON. JAMESXLGAKDINER nContiued from Lage One) the far-reaching influence of fed-of eral affairs, King is a good man to head a war-time Government, he de­ clared. , Blames Low Prices on Europe He lashed put at those wh^accused the Government of lack .of prepared- ' ness, and reviewed the steps taken by his own department, the setting up of new departments especially, mention­ ing the Agricultural .Marketing Com­ mittee which has done much to regu­ late Canada’s surplusses. The cause of Canada's low prices of the past few years, he said, could be traced to the self-sufficiency programs of European nations in preparation’ for the war. Britain is taking only half of the ap­ ples she previously did and is import­ ing 40% of the tobacco previously im­ ported. Propaganda Against Hog Agreement A system of propaganda is work­ ing against the bacon agreement with England, he said. He said the Free Press said Gardiner favors pork draw back, but reporter did not say I did. There has not been any draw back on pork coming into Canada from the United States since the war began, he. informed his audience, although draw . backs have been in force,.for years be­ fore. Mr. Gardiner said that of all the farm, .products, the ones in greatest demand are bacon and hams. He pointed out that Canada had an agree­ ment to supply 280,000,000 pounds of bacon each year of the war to Bri­ tain, which is 75% more than was shipped last year, 160,000,000 lbs. He defended the selection of Hon. J. G. Taggar^ chairman of the Bacon , Board, and said he did not know where he could get a better man or a man of wider agricultural experience. Price Set * The British offered a price same as they were paying when war. started, about 89 shillings a long hundred, but by negotiation this price was. raised to 102 shillings per long hundred and . by this means will encourage increas­ ed production. The bacon board sdt the price, they would pay the packers for bacon and haras delivered at sea­ board $17.29 which leaves 72 cents pgr cwt. to be set aside in a fund and will use this fund to pay the farmer 2c a pound more for pork' next sum­ mer. It cost more to finish, hogs in. May, June, July, he said and so we will pay 2c more and thus be assured of a steady supply week by week. He urged the farmers to produce more hogs as he said if* necessary they would ship all Canadian hogs to Bri- tain to fulfil the agreement. This pro­ ject is helping agriculture, helping the farnier, not the packer, he said. We hope to work a similar kind of agreement, he7 said, for cheese, ’wheat, apples, tobacco and other farm pro­ ducts. ... ■ To the charge that the King Gov­ ernment had' failed the empire in re­ jection of the first empire air plan, he Stated that it was .the King admin­ istration that had increased the ap­ propriation steadily for defence pur­ poses, over the protest of the opposi­ tion and some of its own party. The Conservatives cut the appropriatidn for defence in 1935 to 1434 millions (it was 22 millions in 1930) and it was steadily increased, to 60 millions be­ fore, the war started. He said it was the record of Canadian aviation that brought the Empire plan to Canada. Early last year we Spent 35 million „ build the T.C.A. across Canada as compared with 2% millions spent 1935 by Conservatives for flying. He said 500 millions will be spent on Canada’s war effort the first year. R. J. Deachman Mr. Deachman said there was a strange politick situation. He could not recall a party changing its name so often as the Conservatives and said there was very little National of Un­ ion about their nomination meeting in South Huron where the* Liberal got but one vote. They still’remain as Tory as ever, he said. I have no faith in hyphenated parties or new parties, he said, and expressed the opinion, that strong parties in the house would arrive at proper solutions. He ex­ pressed confidence in Mr, King and the Liberal party to conduct the coun­ try’s business during the war. He took Dr. Manton to task for Ms statement at Brandon that the Gw- eminent had appropriated $188,000,- 000 Jor defense since 1985 and the cojnmnecement of the war, and sup­ posedly spent on defense and that pre­ paration for the outbreak of war was shamefully neglected. He pointed out that $31,000,000 of this amount was. voted by the Conservative party. The Liberal party spent 94 millions the first three years in office and 63 mil­ lions in 1939, Dr. Manion must with­ draw this statement Or condemn his own party, Mr, Deachnian said- The price of liberty is eternal vigil­ ance, the speaker said, and asked how could liberty be destroyed by an ap­ peal to the people who make this lib­ erty. The appeal to the people, the highest court, will decide March 26th. He spoke of Dr. Manion's speeches as bubbling, effervescent, fleurescent, and said Mr, King gave a logical, se­ quential presentation of the statments — not a group of- Lodge podge to try and appeal to the people. When Hit­ ler destroyed democracy in Germany he abandoned Parliament. King goes to the people for them to preserve democracy. When judgment is made on voting day the people will send King back to Ottawa ^ith a larger majority than ever before. * Mr. Ronald Rae was chairman of the meeting and Reeve R. S. Heth­ erington, President of the riding Lib­ eral Association, was on the platform. ’ A well-attended reception for Mr. Gariner was held following the meet­ ing. The ladies’ Liberal association served lunch.

The people, he said, were nidre concerned with honest politics, and honest serv­ ice than political trickery. Mr. King boasted, he said, yof the 1st Division in England, and the sec­ ond soon to go, but Jie declared King has Veen thrusted and pushed on by the people of this country. We have this army of men not because of Mr. King but in spite of him, the speak­ er said. Mr. McPherson charged Mr. King With distrust of Great Britain in con­ nection with the original (1937) Com­ monwealth air training scheme. Tim plan called for training of 2500 pilots a year, the speaker said, but Mr. King, was willing to train only 50 a yeai because he (Mr. King) wanted con­ trol. I have great regard for the Can­ adian* air force but they have not the men or facilities train such large num­ ber as were required by the scheme. A great deal of the money now being spent in the»United States on aero­ planes would have been purchasedin Canada if the* original plan had been adopted, he said. He charged that Mr. King’s action had delayed this im­ portant air training by 1% years. He and his party were not prepared to trust Britain. So far as ottr party is concerned, we are prepared to trust Britain, he declared. He charged Mr. King with not be­ ing consistent on the question of auto­ nomy. Mr. King is willing to spend $600,000,000on the waterway but we have oUr work cut out war financing. Mr, King is prepared to trust the U.S. in this deal but he would not trust Britain, Mr. McPhersoh said. By his (Mr. King’s) silence he en­ couraged Hitler. His attitude was—- Parliament must decide. This was in September last year but In January* on Burns* day he scuttled the parliament spoken so much of in 1938 and 1930. He charged the government with the resopnsibility of allowing Ameri­ can boats to load at the Lake heads, emptying the elevators and then re­ main in American ports for the win­ ter, later to be shipped from American ports. These actions, he said, help to keep our dollar at a discount. He challenged the Government on its agreement wlth\the United States regarding coak We buy 13,000,000 tons a year, he said, from the* States at a cost of 75 millions of dollars, We should use our own coal, he said, but by zthe United States-r-Canadian ag­ reement Canada is bound hand and foot at peace or at war, and cannot change the tariff or interfere with the rates, Don't forget this, he said, in clos­ ing, Mr. King is endeavouring to have you forget all the promises he made in 1935, the solving of unemployment and the primary producers were to get just desserts. Mr. King he said has pursued a policy of drift and Mri Mc­ Pherson charged Mr. King had made no effort. Now he wants you to think of Canadian unity, Vote for King and his candidate and you imperil this un­ ity, he declared. Mr, King boasts of his $ a year nien, some Conservatives. What more compelling argument could be used for National government, the speaker asked. L. Elston Cardiff Some months ago I stood on this platform and found I had a lot of friends and I believe, Mr. Cardiff said that I will have many friends' on Mar, 26th and a long time after tliat. The candidate took Mr. King to task for- calling parliament and three hours lat­ er dismissing, it. If Mr. King had been fair, the speaker said, he would have given the members a chance -to speak as that is what parliament is for. Parliament is entitled to an ac­ counting. In this election all we have heard was tariffs, but at this time our aim is to win,the war. Mr. Cardiff charged the King gov­ ernment with neglect in starting air itraining schools in conjunction with • Britain. I have 5 not been imported, the speaker declared, I have always re-1 sided here. Any money 1 have made i I have piade in Huron and I have J spent most of it here. I ask the vote j of Huron because I belong to you, Mr. Cardiff said. When, you^mark your ballots on March '26th remember L am -here at all times.- I am a fighter, ,if elected will give 100% of my time looking after the interest of North Hunor. - s ' Mayor J. H. Crawford was chair­ man and gave an opening address, .charging the King government with neglect and said the -feeling of -the people is that Mr. King must go. We mu'st stop this remote control in N. Huron he said and have somebody who lives here represent us. Mr. J. W. Morley, National Con­ servative candidate for Huron-Perth; was present and gave a short address. ’ There was ap encouraging improve­ ment in the quality of calves market­ ed in Canada in 1939, good and choice grades of veal showing an increase qf about 2%, while a corresponding de­ cline was shown in the common and medium classifications.
