IN MEMORIAM
HEY—In loving memory of our
dear parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Hey,,
Sr., who passed away three years a
go, 1935.
Their smiling ways and pleasant faces
Are a pleasure to recall;
They had a kindly word for each
And died beloved by all.
Some day we hope to meet 'them,
Some day we know not when
To clasp their hands in the better
land,
Never to part again.
Remembered by their family.

charged with ill treating an Airdale

eks in that town. The large court-
room was filled with dog lovers bent
on hearing the case, but were doom-
ed to disappointment, when the case
was adjourned for a week.—Jamee

Annual Meeting
The 53rd Annual Meeting of The
Hay Township Farmers' Mutual Fire
Insurance Company was held in Zur-
ich town hall on Monday, the 31st
of January, 1938 with .a very large
attendance. The President, Fred J.
Haberer acted as :Chairman and gave
the Directors' Report in which he re-
ferred to the splendid financial stand-
ing the Company, which now has
$50;030.97 invested in Government
and Municipal Bonds and Cash in the
Banks of $7,893.83. The company
now has ,2055 policies in force with
a total risk of $7,987,170. During
the past year the company paid 52
claims with a. total of $8,937.42. The
fact that there is only a small amount
in arrears on the 1937 Instalments
speaks well for the class of policy-
holders the company has. Mention
was made of the resignation of Mr.
William Lamont who has been the
agent of the Company for a number
of years and the appointment of R.
A. Goetz of Dashwood as his success-
or. Ile also spoke of the danger of
over insurance and of fire prevention
and the use of chemical fire extingu-
ishers which have proven in many
cases to have saved other companies
large sums of money. Policy holders
were warned not to try and tamper
with their Hydro Systems. That work
should be done by an experienced -
electrician. H. K. Eilber, Secretary -
of 'the Company then gave the Finan-
cial
inancial Statement of the company, giv-
ing in detail the different items of
receipts and cash payments, assets
and liabilities: Jacob Haberer and
'Kenneth Routledge, auditors, gave
their reports stating that the books
of the Treasurer had been found to
he correct. The examination of the
bonds and securities showed them alI
to be registered in the name of the
Company. Six candidates were nom-
inated to fill'the vacancies caused by
Goldie Graham's and Stephen Webb's
term of office expiring and the res ig-
nation of R. A. Goetz as a d.,rector
at the time he was appointed agent.
The election resulted in 'Goldie •Gr -
Ilam being re-elected; Thomas Webb,
elected in the place of Step'.en Webb,
who expressed his desire not to be
a candidate and Henry C. Beaver in
the place of R. A. Goetz. Messrs.
Haberer and Routicclge were re-elec-
ted auditors, A vote of thanks and
appreciation was tendered Stephen
WC.,li, the retiring director, tor his
sr.ri ices to the Company as director,
