Company recognized the
contribution of two long time
members of the board
following the company's
annual meeting recently.
Robert Archibald and Wm.
R. Pepper retired as mem-
bers of the board after a total
of 48 years of service. Both
had served as president.
Presentations of luggage to
Mr. Pepper and a clock
barometer to Mr. Archibald
were made by J. N.
Trewartha and John
McEwing on behalf of the
board.
• The ceremony in the board
offices followed the annual
meeting held in the Town Hall
when company officials
reviewed a successful year
which saw the surplus ac-
count increase by $182,500 to
$790,554. During the yeas.,
insurance in force increased
slightly over $10 million to
,$71,909,082. ' Losses during
1977 totalled $47,054.54 of
which $10,081 was recovered
through reinsurance.
In reporting to the meeting
president Ken Carnochan
attributed the low loss record
in the main, to the con-
scientious attitude of policy
holders. To keep in step with
the industry the company,
during the year, had im-
plemented a $50 deductible
clause on``all claims except
livestock, liability of
television. This becomes
effective January 1st this
year.
Members referred to the
recent death of William S.
Alexander, a member of the
board for 24 years until his
retirement in 1974. He had
been a former president of
the company and of group 6
M.F.U.A. A moment of
silence was observed in his
memory.
The meeting elected Ken
Carnochan, RR4 Seaforth and
Stuart Wilson, Brucefield to
three year terms on the
board. At the subsequent
meeting of the board Mr.
Carnochan was re-elected as
president and Donald
McKercher as vice-president.
Mrs. Margaret Sharp was re-
appointed as secretary -
treasurer.

The Holmesville II 4-H club
had their second meeting on
February 13. The girls

organization to aate and he
was followed by the vice-
chairman, Roy Pattison of
East Wawanosh, who detailed
the work of the committees
for which he is responsible.
He introduced Ray S.cot-
chmer, Goderich, chairman
of the publicity committee
and Barry Mulvey, Belmore,
chairman of the lands
committee.
Gerry Ginn, warden of the
county, issued a warm in-
vitation to attend the 1978
International and voiced his
pride in Huron County as a
great place to live and to
visit.
Don Pullen, Clinton;
Huron's , agricultural
representative, was the
featured speaker and did an
excellent job of describing the
county's history, industries
and attractions. He listed the
many agricultural products
in which Huron is the highest
or second highest producer in
Ontario, mentioning the
outstanding record of one of
the delegation on the plat-
form. Russell, Bolton of
Seaforth, has won the
premier award for hay in
world competition for six
consecutive years. Pullen
described Huron County as
"the last bastion of pure
agriculture in the province."
1 -Ie also paid tribute to the
late Gordon McGavin of
Walton, for his contribution
over the .years to plowing
competition and the Inter-
national. McCavin was
named chairman of the
publicity committee for the
1978 match when the original
organization was established
by the local committee four
years ago and his death
saddened his many warm
friends in the plowing
fraternity.
The speaker described the
soil at the match site as ex-
cellent for this purpose,
providing the best of con-
ditions for plowing and with
good drainage charac-
teristics. He concluded with
an invitation from all the
people of Huron to attend the
1978 IPM and enjoy the
hospitality of the county's
'friendly residents..
The International Plowing
Match will be held September
26 to 30, 1978.

Lowertemperatures, healthier
Energy conservation can
have unexpected positive
effects. Even on th°human
body.
Citizens who have lowered
the temperatures in their
homes and workplace to the
mid -sixties may be healthier
in some ways than those who
keep their thermostats set in
the seventies.
For one thing, our bodies
adjust to temperature
changes gradually. And
moving from an overly warm
room ihto the cold outside can
affect the respiratory system
and even trigger coughing or
brqat`hing'difficulties.
For nnnther Chinat`h€
indoor heating in winter, the
air becomth drier as the
temperature climbs in the
room. Dry air can irritate
passages in the nose, throat,
and lungs. But by the time the
air gets into the deepest parts
of the lungs - the microscopic
air sacs - it has been
moistened along the way by
sticky fluid called mucus.
When dry air gets to the air
sacs it has acquired a relative
humidity of almost 100 per-
cent.
When you exhale, more
than half the moisture in the
air you breathe out., is
returned once Again to the
mucuous linings, but your
breath is still moist. On very
cold days the outside air holds
less water vapour than on a
warmer day. So when you
exhale, you can actually see
your steamy breath as it hits
the drier, colder air outside'.
One of the major benefits of
lowering temperatures at
home and at work is con-
serving energy, which, in
turn, reduces the pollution in
the air we breathe. To help
support lungs and fight air
pollution, be sure you've
answered your Christmas
Seal letter. Your lung
association cares about every
breath you take.
