HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Exeter Times-Advocate, 1963-12-19, Page 5By MRS. ROBERT RUNDLE Construction of the new Bri- tish Mortgage and Trust Cora, party building here should begin in April, Manager Charles V. Barrett revealed this week. In a seasonal message to clients and depositors, he said sketches of building "will soon be available for publication and construction should commence in April." Completion is sche- duled for late fall of 1964. "Our building will be of the finest contemporary but prac- tical design, providing every facility and convenience for our customers," Manager Barrett said the structure will include a "com- munity room", a popular fea- ture of other BMT offices which provides meeting facilities for small groups. Increase in profits British Mortgage & Trust Company reports a net profit for the past year of $359,528, for an increase from the 1962 earnings of $283,646. This amounts to $1.24 per share on 289,143 shares now outstanding. The increased profit is mainly a result of a lower figure than last year for income tax. The Company's earnings before taxes are lower, Mr. W. P. Gregory, Q.C,, Executive Vice- President and Managing Direc- tor said, because of expenses of opening new offices. All costs in this connection have been written off. The net profit per share last year on an equivalent basis amounted to $1.03. Public funds amounted to over $75,000,000 up from under $59,- 000,000 where they were just one year ago. Mortgages, too, increased to over $56,000,000 from $44,- 000,000 in 1962. Confidence of the public in the Company is reflected in the volume of Guar- anteed Investment Certificates --similarly increased to over $56,000,000 from $44,000,000. Assets under administration of the Company's trust depart- ment has increased from over $2,800,000 in 1962 to over $3,630,000. One of Canada's oldest trust companies, British Mortgage was founded in 1877. Head Of- fice of the Company is in Strat- ford, Ontario, and ten branch offices are located throughout Ontario.

Exeter District Phone 235-2081 Protection vital on farm This week's farm forum dealt with an information topic on insurance for the farmer en- titled "The Risk is Yours." Members of Fairfield Farm Forum noted that the modern farmer, who has a special busi- ness of his own, and a hazard- ous one at that, has a special need to protect his income, his assets and his life. In their discussion it was stated that the farmer operates a business and often employs laborers; his property can be destroyed or damaged; crops are vulnerable to weather con- ditions; farmers use cars, trucks and farm equipment on the highways; accidents and sickness can threaten income and security. For all of these reasons the farmer needs an insurance program which will protect him against risks that threaten financial disaster. Special insurances for far- mers are Medical Co-opera- tives, Fire and Weather Insur- ances, and the Co-operativeln- surance Association. These in- surance companies should be the proper sources of informa- tion on which to base his pro- gram, although one member cited a case in his own ex- perience where he was given wrong advice by an insurance agent. Some of the members felt they should have more accident insurance. Fairfield members met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Haist. Next meeting will be a Christmas party for the mem- bers and their families ' Dec. 23 in the Community Hall, Cre- dition, Pappa was taking a Sunday afternoon nap. His childr en were trying to wake him up be- cause he had promised to take them for a walk. Finally little five-year-old Nancy pried open one of his eyelids, peered care- fully in, and announced, "He's still in there." Have YOU qualified for the British Mortgage special awards?

Resolutions calling for Increase In the present $3.00 subsidy on Grade A hegS, en- dorsing the 1966 1.0'1 Plowing Match near Seaforth and sup- porting an amendment to the bankruptcy act were passed by Huron Federation of Agricul- ture at their annual meeting in Londesboro, The federation resolutions committee, headed by Mervyn Lobb, said a higher hog subsidy would "stimulate a constant supply of permium carcasses". Unanimous support was given the motion pledging assistance toward the 1966 plowing match to be held near Seaforth.

One resolution not acted upon called for written examinations for all grade eight students in Ontario, Arthur Bolton, Sea- forth, suggested education of- ficials should be consulted be- cause such a plan might conflict with the new Roberts plan of streaming pupils into three dif- ferent courses. APPLAUD MOVE The federation audience ap- plauded an announcement from Mr. Musgrave that Agriculture Minister Stewart will imple- ment. soon regulations requiring manufacturers to print the com- position of their product on the wrapper, This has been one of the ob- jectives of the federation in its long-s t an ding fight against margarine producers.

PORTABLE FOOD MIXER $15.98 One of Canada's oldest news- papers says a Liberal aspirant from Exeter may be the next Minister of Transport when Prime Minister Lester P. "Fearsom" announces his ca- hinet changes. "The London Freak Preset, now in its 645th year of publica- tion, said Friday in an Ottawa story by Robert J, Needling that the name of Guenther Tuckey (Lib.-Exeter) figures promin- antly in speculation over the PM's hint that he plans "to pro- fessionalize my cabinet". Says the story: "It is believed that a new- comer to the hustings, a long- aspiring back bencher, Guen- ther Tuckey (Lib.-Exeter) has shot to the fore as a possible replacement for the present Minister of Transport, whose identity no one seems to know." Needling further says: "Mr. Fearsom was curiously committal on the proposal: 'Not having studied the problem, and being late for a steam bath at the Chateau Laurier, I would say in all sincerity, and inutter confidence and aspiration, I think so'." The report was part of a gag edition of The University of Western Ontario Gazette lam- p o oni ng The London Free press. The 12-page issue was printed by The Times-Advocate which produces the Gaze tt e twice a week for the UWO stu- dent body. (Whether or not the Gazette editors realized it, the presi- dent of the transport firm, B. W. Tuckey, was a Liberal can- didate for the provincial house a number of years ago and ran a close race against the late Thomas Pryde, MPP.) Free Press columnists were satirized under the names of "Royal Jewel", "E merson Greed", "Pan Anders", "Sara Pastings", and even ,(Author B.

DESCRIBE COW Times-Advocate readers will be interested in the description of a cow which appears in the column of "Royal Jewel": "The cow is a female quad- ruped with an alto voice and a countenance in which there is no guile.
