DECLARES 25% REFUND THOMAS PRYDE IS HURON'S CHOICE Thomas Pryde will represent Hu- ron riding • when the Legislature meets early in March, as a result of the vote in Monday's by-election when Mr. Pryde, Progressive Con- servative candidate, defeated Ben- son Tuckey, Liberal, by a majority of 655, in one of the most keenly contested elections ever seen in this riding. People of all parties are agreed that Tom Pryde will be a worthy successor in the -.Legislature to the late member, Dr. Hobbs Taylor. Both candidates were well qualified for the position. Late Monday evening Mr. Pryde arrived in Seaforth followed by a cavalcade of some thirty cars of en- thusiastic supporters from Exeter and Clinton, making a triumphal. tour of the riding. The election returns were receiv-' ed by Returning Officer W. E. Southgate Jr. at his office in the Do- minion Bank building by special tel- ephone, and the results were quickly tabulated on a big wall chart. The final result was indicated shortly af- ter 8.30. At Toronto, Premier Drew said, "I am delighted with the result. Tom Pryde has received a convinc- ing endorsement from the people of the riding and. Huron will have a splendid representative in the +'On- tario Legislature." The result indicates that the CCF vote went almost solidly Liberal, as forecast; The Conservative major- ity in this straight fight is about the same as Dr. Taylor's over all major- ity in the 1945 election.

Assets of the insurance company totalled $139,738.78 with an in- crease in surplus from ordinary op- erations during 1947 of $6,484.79. There were 2,830 policies in force as of Deci 31, 1947, with a total of $11,803,921 insurance in force. In presenting the 71st annual re- port, Secretary -Treasurer M. A. Reid stated the company had a good year, with losses down from 1946 about -$2,000. Reduced losses had enabled the company to close the year with a gross surplus of $6,484.- 79, 6,484:79, and the board had declared a re- fund of 25% on all policies which come within the requirements of the Insurance Act. The majority of pol- icy holders have been members for the required three years and are eligible for this dividend. The total of therefund from surplus is $5,- 615.09i 5;615.09; This is the first year that the refund has been paid. In reviewing the losses, Mr. Reid pointed out, six were of a sizeable amount- Two barn fires were caused by lightning, one from oil brooder stoves in a poultry house, one from overheated pipes, one un- known and the largest, caused by burning wood in an oven. These losses, he maintained, show that ex- treme care should be used in regard to furnaces, stoves and especially oil brooders, which appear to be one of the increasing hazards confront- ing insurance companies. Livestock lightnil losses were again quite numerous and with in- creased values constitute one half the loss outlay. Smoking in bed con- tributed four losses and could have caused loss of life. Following the report and business period, election of officers and dir- ectors took place with C. W. Leon- hardt, Brodhagen, named president; Hugh, Alexander, Walton, vice-presi- dent;,' M. A. Reid, Seaforth, . mana- ger ad secretary treasurer. The executive committee com- prises president, vice-president and E. J. Trewartha, Clinton, Directors are: S. H. Whitmore, Seaforth; Chris Leonhardt, Brodhagen; E. J. Trewartha, Clinton; Robert Archi- bald, Seaforth, replacing W. R. Archibald; John H.

The Wallaceburg Public School Board met last evening and an- nounced . some changes which may have far-reaching effects in school 2sadministration here and elsewhere so should they prove as successful as r+e the board expects. Starting next September, Mr. C. C. Grainger, assistant principal of Central- Public School, is to be taken on as a relieving principal and "co- ordinator of student and grade teacher special activities." Chairman Appleton explained that it was in- tended by the board that Mr. Grain- ger would relieve the present princi- pals on certain days so that the prin- cipals could have time for supervi- sion of other classrooms and be able to devote some time to school admin- istrative,duties. Mr. Grainger would also spend time in "after school" and town activities with pupils with a view to development of character and special talents which might bring valuable data to light as to future occupational rating. Visits to homes to iron out student problems would be possible also. Members of the board, especially Trustee Jim Burgess, felt that too nmoh attention was paid now to purely academic courses and not enough to development of initiative and character. Mr. Appleton stated that it was hoped that arrangements could be made with Mr. Grainger to hire him for part • of the summer months to supeL•vise sports activities of the students. 85 F 88 86 85 • 88 B8 • 50 57 53 -3 13, 44 TEST HEARING BY NEW DEVICE A new device for testing the healing of pupils was used at the Public School on Tuesday.
