having increased $402,214, and now
totalled ,$3,012,432. He' advised that
for each dollar on deposit $1.34 is im

iaries during the year the company

In concluding Mr. Middlebro’ ex-‘

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

charts illustrating the increase were
presented to the shareholders at the
annual meeting. Reserves increased
from .$81°,838 to $205,000. in the ten

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.

FIGHTING SPEECH
by HOM McPherson
(Continued from Page One)
No facility had been made when
Parliament met for overseas soldiers
to vote, this was done by order-in-
Council and Mr, King ,had said ithat
too much of . this will make a mock
out of parliament.
, The speaker s.aid that the action of
Mr. King in dissolving parliament
was called an astute, celever political
trick by the independent press. 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.
