G. Nicholson of Port Elgin.

The report showed a net earn­ ing of slightly over $10,000. This 'has put the Bruce Co-operative Medical Services in a very sound financial position, thus enabling the Board of Directors to increase the benefits of the plan for the members in the corning fiscal .year. • The members endorsed a re­ commendation of the Board, to give a bonus of 50c per day on the $6.00 plan, arid also to drop the $10.00 deduction on the x-ray benefit in that plari. The $3.00 plan was discontinued, as it has become outdated, and of no sat­ isfactory service to the members when they need hospitalization. These chahges are effective as of November 1st, 1953. ’ Directors elected for a three- year term were Lindsay McDon- ald, Lion’s Head; Donald McKin­ non, Paisley; Mrs. WilliamdStodT dart, Lion’s Head; and Allan Evans,-Tiverton.
