Garnet C. Murray
Woodham Farmer
Garnet C. Murray, 67', a for

Monday following a heart attack.
Born near Bayfield, Mr. Mur
ray farmed at Woodham for over
20 years. He moved from Exeter
to London eight years ago.
Surviving are his wife, the
former Harriet Young, two sons,
Donald and Alvin, London; two
daughters, Miss Shirley Murray,
London, and Mrs. Elroy Desjar-
dine, Zurich. Also surviving are
his mother, Mrs. Mary Ann Mur
ray and brother Cecil Murray,
both of Exeter, and two sisters,
Mrs. Robert Talbot, Edmonton,
and Mrs. Will McKewen, London.
The Rev. Howard Sugden, of
Central Baptist Church, con'duct-
ed the funeral service on Wednes
day at the Bennett-Oatman fune
ral home and interment was
made in Forest Lawn Memorial

Bank Shares
Fast Growth
Striking confirmation of the
rapid pace of Canada’s extra
ordinary development is found in
the Bank of Montreal’s annual
report to its shareholders and its
two million customers. The 136th
annual financial statement of
the country’s senior chartered
bank shows all-time peaks in the
most important departments,
wth total resources running to a
record figure of $2,364,000,000.
A most notable indication of
the nature and pace of business
activity during the past year is
provided by the fact that the
B of M’S total loans have in
creased by $145,582,0010' and
stand at the impressive total of
$857,762,561.
These loans are made “to Can
adians of every calling—farmers,
miners, fishermen, oil men, lum
bermen, ranchers—to industrial
and business enterprises and to
provincial and municipal govern
ments, according to the report
just issued by the local B of M
manager, C. E. Shaw.
His report underlines the fact
that the extent of the bank’s par
ticipation in financing the busi
ness and personal needs of its
customers is made possible by
the record amount of funds which
B of M depositors placed with its
branches from coast to coast. In
creased over the year by $79
million, the bank’s total deposits
run to $2,226,'960,000—the high
est figure in the bank’s long his
tory. Well over half this money
is made up of the savings of pri
vate citizens in all walks of life.
Strong Position Maintained
Notwithstanding the greatly in
creased''amount of money which
the B of M is' lending to its cus
tomers, the traditionally strong
liquid position of the institution
has been maintained, with quick
ly available resources at $1,513,-
000,000 equal to 66.75 per cent
of all its liabilities to the pub
lic. Of these “quick assets” the
most important in size* are the
bank’s holdings of government
bonds and other investments
■amounting in all to nearly a bil
lion dollars.
Earnings and taxes both show
ed increase for the bank’s year
which closed on October 31.
After allowing for a tax-bill of
$6,650,1000—up from $'5,918,000
in 1952'—the B of M reported
earnings from the operation of
its 600 branches of $7',042,676.
Of this amount $5,040,000 is be
ing paid to shareholders. This
represents a return of 5.21 per
cent on their investment, com
pared with 5.01 per cent last
year. The bank's rest account was
further strengthened and
stands at $ 6 0,0 O'O1,0 0 0.
