'en
Once again, Standard Trust has produced
record financial results for the latest fiscal
period.
According to Fater Shephard, manager of
the Standard Trust branch in Goderich, net
income for the company increased to
$3,899,000 for the first six months of 1986 -
compared to $2,954.000 for the same period
in 1985.
Total assets of the company at Jiine 30 this
year were $1,180,554,000 compared with
$1,087,330 a year earlier.
And continuing another tradition, Stan-
dard Trust announced increased dividend
payments to shareholders. The dividend
payment for 1986 will be 95 cents, an in-
crease of 27 percent from the 75 cents paid in
1985, with the indicated annual dividend now
$1 per share.
During the . second quarter, growth was
achieved' in the brunch network as well. In
Ontario, a new branch was opened in
Newmarket, while the branch in Chatham
was moved to larger premises in order to
accommodate the increased depositor base.
Standard' Trust expanded its presence in
Quebec at the same time, with the opening
of a new branch in Montreal. And not forget-
ting Western Canada, the Standard Trust
branch in Winnipeg was expanded to a full
savings and mortgage operation. Further
growth for the balance of 1986 is assured
through. the planned opening of two more
new branches.
At present, Standard Trust has 24 bran -
chs nation-wide.,
As Shephard says, "The solid financial
performance of the company, and the opera-
tional growth indicated by these branch
openings provide a real benefit to the
depositors of Standard Trust First, there is
the stability inherent in a company that has
a steady pattern of growth year by year, and
that has an asset base of over $1.1 billion."

"It's a career goal I've met."

ing and evaluating special education pro-
grams for children in Huron County. He.will
also supervise teachers of these, programs
and will act as liaison superintendent for
two secondary schools and seven or eight

education area. He has taught it and has
assisted on report card, special education,
and ad hoc committees for the Kent County
Board of Education. His entire professional
career has been in Kent County where he
