In dhis report Mr. Reid said in part: "1940 has.. passed and left with it a word §till torn by 'strife. or your company it has brought a continued improvement in your financial posi- tion. This shows careful underwrit- ing which naturally results. in a fav- orable loss ratio. "The first two months of 1940 gave us cause to worry with the three maj- or losses of the year, namely, two dwellings and one barn•. Both dwel- lings were listed as 'overheated pipes,' and the barn as 'upset- lantern. Could these losses have been avoided? Yes. Losses have a, direct bearing, on each policyholder, but to the individualthe loss is serious and will be felt for Many years. "Nineteen -forty records_disclose many small fire bosses, anone of which might have become serious. Lightning losses are also. above aver- age. The Department of Insurance maintains that livestock lightning losses cau be reduced by proper grounding of all wire fences.' "We are at war and conservation of money and material wealth is an all-important factor in, winning this war. Do your share by using the fol- lowing precautions: • "Clean chitaneys and pipes regular- ly; keep stovepipes ateay from all wood; remove all rubbish; deposit ashes cele in.metai'containers; avoid" use of gasoline;•do not use kerosene to start fires; watch and clean coal oil stoves and lanterns; smokers be careful, extinguish and break your match before you throw it away; practise: fire prevention methods daily. .Your efforts, undoubtedly, sav- ed a heavy property loss or the life of one or more dear to you, which is. the most dreadful disaster of all dwel- ling fires."
