In his severe Mr. Reid said in. part:
"in presenting your 67th annual re-
port, I have pleasure in reporting that
1943 was very favorable, bath finan-
cially'and in the number -of losses.
"'Unknown losses. dropped to two,
but unfortunately the one was a•,farm
barn and contents,- and Wes approxi-
mately 50 per cent. of your direct
losses. Lightning contributed 46%
per cent., with the other See per cent,
from various causes. I wish heartily
,to congratulate.'the policyholders on
such a reduction which, I believe, is
a direct challenge that they are en-
deavouring to stop ere wastage and
contribute' their share • to .our war ef-
fort in materials and money -so badly -
needed. •
` "This challenge can male, else suc-
cessful if every member during 1944
makes a regular inspection of his or
her property for fire hazards, and .if
there are' any, have' them remedied.
"This year. it is necessary to fre-
quently check ' chimneys and .. pipes.
Many .are being forced to use soft
coals and this naturally creates great-
er fire hazards. Shortage of help may
also cause neglect. Have your lan-
terns and other farm equipment
clean; your electric wiring checked,

The Rid , Croi�s
It Struck•Me This Way
For some reason' (the propriety of
which has yet to be proved), the
writer, has been asked to assume the
chairmanship. of this district for the
pending Red Cross Drive.
To many 'of you, facts that I shall
set down will not be news. But I
think the average person, iilte my-
self, bad a--well—a more oe less hazy
idea that the Red Cross Societies
are necessary and commendable, but
tbat they were getting along.. We
,just threw in a dollar or so once in
a while, and let it go at that, but I
find that won't • do''
Let tue tall you., why, I was invit-
ed to attend the annual meeting of
the toddy;;in the Public Library, It.
was a stormy evening and there was
not a large.. attendance. But that
Meeting should rightly have been held
ln...Cardno's' Hall, and the hall should
have been packed to the doors,
Why? Because those women, those
committee chair'men,' had news—in-
formation. They had. a story to tell
which, with other sister societies,
when the history of this war is 'writ-
ten,- will he among that history's
most inspiring chapters.
What did those ladies ,report?
Here's d'hat they had to telt: a story
of work --of things accomplished i
have, secured some of the figures that
you might read; 2,805 articles in
hospital supplies, including dressing

'British civilian c1 tan.', 1,19 '411
idea; 314 Milts, 3,'975-epoultleffi`
These and others i might quote, in-
cluding seven Bleed Donor Clinca,
with an average attendance of • 10.4
blood donors.
How was all this accomplished?
What Tahoe, thought, organization,
and the spirit of unity, which our
load -ere et Teheran have said would
win the war and the peace.
