T h e splendid relations between the organization and the insurance company go back over a num- ber of years. Along about 1946, rural peo- ple were alarmed about the fact that insurance coverage was be- coming more and more inade- quate and premiums were climbing higher. Farm forum groups and other farm meetings began discussing the formation of an insurance company in the casualty field. A company known as Co-op- eraters Fidelity and Guarantee Association, which was a mu- tual with guarantee capital stock, had been offering bond- ing service, since November of 1946, to the rapidly increasing co-operatives and credit unions Pfister Hybrid SEED.

As a result of a special direct• rs' meeting of the Ontario Federation of Agricul- ture on June 29, 1948, it was decided to approach the Credit Union League and the Co-opera- tive Union regarding the estab- lishment of co-operative insur- ance by using the existing com- pany of Co-operators Fidelity and Guarantee Association. The `first Board of C.F. and G.A. consisted of nine members, five from the Federation of Ag- riculture, three from the On- tario Credit Union League and one from the Ontario Co-opera- tive Union. Financing such a venture was a major problem. The Depart- ment of Insurance, which watch- es very carefully the capital position of insurance compan- ies, requested that a sizable block of share capital be rais- ed. With a tremendous effort by the committee in 4harge, this was done and the first auto policy was sold in January 1949 to V. S. Millburn, then secre- tary -manager of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture. W. G. CAMPBELL Box 659 Seaforth, Ont. �.

IRENE JOHNS First, we are sure t'iie resi- dents of the whole of Huron County will be pleased to know that two "future homemakers" have been provided with the means of earning a livelihood through the Women's Institute Children's Aid Society Bursary fund. These girls are now sup- porting themselves. - The board of directors have been gathering information and working towards the setting up of a Homemaker's Service with- in the county, but it is a very slow process. These homemak- ers will take over the manage- ment of the home during the illness or absence of the mother so the bread winner need not leave his work. Then, too, an auxiliary to the Children's Aid Society is in process of formation through- out the county, whose main function it will be to help peo- ple who need help. This aux- iliary will carry the respdnsi- bility for soliciting, receiving, classifying and making ready for use, donations, as well as selecting, to fill requests of clothing, other goods, including foods, and especially things for older children at Christmas time. The Children's Aid So- ciety Auxiliary committee is: Mrs. Roy Bennett, of Wingham; Mrs. Doug Bartliff, of Clinton, and Mrs. Ken Johns, of RR 1, Woodham, anyone of whom may be contacted for more informa- tion, The staff will refer fam- ilies who are under particular financial pressure to the volun- teers, who will be able to com- bine their efforts to help these people get back on their feet. We have found it necessary to organize a Christmas Bureau this year. If you know a fam- ily in need, please let your nearest board member know. Anyone intending to make a donation of any kind for the Children's Aid Society at Christ- mas please send it in Novem- ber, in order to give the'vol- unteers plenty of time to do their work. More about this will be reported in September. In the first year the company started with no agents, and end- ed up with 120 agents and 4,458 policies in force, mostly in rural Ontario. As a result of this successful year in 1949 and the anticipated expansion ahead, the Department of Insurance de- manded an additional $50,000 in capital before the license could be renewed. An attempt was made to raise this, but in the end it became necessary to request the Board of United Co-operatives to take over a controlling interest in a stock company because Ontario laws did not provide for a strictly co - operative insurance com- pany. The new company, as we know it today, Co-operators' In- surance Association, was form- ed. It was agreed that the Unit- ed Co-operatives of Ontario, the Co-operative Union of Ontario, the Ontario Federation of Agri- culture and the Ontario Credit Union League would be the con- tinuing sponsors of the co-oper- ative insurance program and would be reimbursed for serv- ices rendered in promoting in- surance at all levels. The company has grown from this beginning to a position of greatness in the insurance field. It has branched out. into other lines such as fire, farm liability and accident, and life insurance. It has been very careful to pro- tect the interests of others al- ready engaged in the insurance field within its own member- ship, especially the rural Mutual Fire Companies and Cuna Mu- tual Insurance. Co-operators Insurance Asso- ciation pioneer many of the changes in insurance coverage, for example, to omit the racial origin question from the auto application form; to combine passenger hazard with liability; to drop five, ten and one as in- adequate auto liability protec- tion; .to omit cents from the premium; to offer reduced rates to some female drivers; to offer extended medical payments; to eliminate mid-term auto cancel - ONTARIO LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY , Select Committee on The Municipal Act and related Acts The Select Committee appointed by the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Ontario "... to enquire Into and review The MunlciAal Act of the Province and related Acts, including The Assessment Act, The De- partment of Municipal Affairs Act, the Local Improve- ment Act, The Ontario Municipal Board Act and The Planning Act, and the regulations made thereunder, for the purposes of modernizing, consolidating and simpli- fying such Acts and regulations and making such recom- mendations as may be necessary for their improvement.", has resumed public hearings In Toronto.

The Federation of Agricul- ture has played a key role in the development of C.LA. and continues 'to have a keen inter- est in its well-being. Similarly, C.I.A. has considerable justifi- cation- for maintaining a strong link with farm people. This is a friendship which is mutually advantageous and one that should be fostered. C.I.A. needs •the support of rural people in the counties and the county fed- erations need the support pro- vided to them for services ren- dered. We need to work to justify this support and C.I.A. needs to continue to provide the kind of excellent service for which it is well known. The result of co-operation of this nature can only be a better service for rural people. • DEAD ANIMAL REMOVAL For Dead or- Disabled Animals CALL Darling & Company of Canada Ltd.
