LEGUMES FOR LENT
Hello Homemakers!! When you are
planning for meat substitutes during
Lent, remember cur Canadian legumes
-peas, beans, and lentils-which are
dried vegetables obtainable during this
season of the year. They are, good
.satisfying foods containing protein
, which is needed in place of meat.
* * *
The cookery method reminds us of
that well-seasoned earthen casserole-
the English bean pot. There is noth-
ing pretentious about it and it will,
no doubt, pleasantly recall many sac-
xessful meals prepared by its means.
Now, excellent results may be obtain-
ed through the use of controlled heat.
* * * *
Modern science has given us the
glass baking dish in plain or etched
design. It has many uses in cookery
:and is an attractive serving dish as
-well. And, there is the electric deep-
well cooker, also a bearer of good
cheer.

GREY BRUCE TRUST
AND SAVINGS CO. IN
STRONG POSITION
Reports At The Annual Meeting Show
Consistent Progress
• Gratifying progress was shown in
the 'reports presented at the annual
meeting of shareholders held at the ,
office of the Grey and Bruce Trust
and Savings Con-many in Owen Sound
last week. The past year has been one
of steady progress, Deposits have in-
creased by $204,767 in comparison
with $90,000 the previous year, mak-
ing a total in this department of $3,-
300,000. Every department of the
company has made steady growth
with an increasing demand for the
various services rendered.
In the absence of the President, 'C,
A, Fleming, W. S. Middlebro,
Vice-President, acted as chairman of
the meeting and he, along with the
manager, reviewed the, yeaes business.
Mr. Middlebro referred to the an-
nual statement as being very satis-
factory and stated that the profits of
the company after payment of interest
on deposits, Guaranteed Investments,
management expenses etc., were $51,-
751.30. He explained that this had been
appropriated as follows: Dividends Of
5% to shareholders-n7,235; govern-
ment taxes $9,624 and depreciation on
building and fixtures $979.54, leaVing
$13,911.79 transferred to reserves. He
stressed the fact that .goVernment tax-
es alone amounted to 33% of the total
of the dividends paid to shareholders.
Company's Shares
For each $1,000 invested in the
company's shares fifty-two years ago
$2,980 has been paid in dividends and
since 1930 the market value of the
$544,700 paid up capital stock has in-
creased $163,000. "This," Mr. Middle-
bro stated, "is a good barometer of
our business and of the public's con-
fidence.
Manager's Report
Addressing the shareholders, Mr.
Manning, Manager of the company,
stated it was gratifying to be able to
present one of the best statements in
the history of the company. He said
that he would have considered it over-
optimism had he predicted a year ago
that after substantial withdrawals by
customers for subscriptions to the
1941 Victory Loan the company would
end the year ,with an increase in de-
posits and guaranteed investments of
$204,760 'in comparison with an in-
crease ,of $90,000 in the prevoius year.
He stated that the total in this De-
partment is now $3,308,541. "I do not
credit war industry -to any extent ..for
this substantial gain in deposits" he
said, "but I believe- it is a reflection
of improved business conditions
thrhugh;out Grey. and Bruce comities
and that our company is govering a
muchowider field. We are now dOing
considerable, business from Barrie 'to
Owen Sound, on the one side and
from Southampton, Port Elgin,' Kin-
cardine, Walkerton, Hanover, Wing-
ham and Durham on the other.",
Me. Manning stated that after al-
lowing for accounts closed and time
deposits (or Guaranteed Investthents)
cashed during the year the number of
new accounts added to this depart-
ment was 804-or at the rate of 67
new accounts each month. As a 'matter
„ft
of fact the average number of new
customers being added to the 'various
departments during the past five years
is over 60 a month,
Mr. Manning pointed out that the
funds received on deposit and for
Guaranteed Investment are invested as
follows. There is $962,620 invested in
first mortgages, $1,819,629 in Dom-
inion, Provincial and municipal bonds,
and $229,632 in other bonds and secur-
ities, and $284,657 in cash. He further,
stated that for each dollar received,
29c was in mortgages, 55c in Govern..,
ment bonds, 8c in other securities and
8c in cash.
Continuing, Mr. Manning remarked
that sometimes the company is asked
how it can, pay 2% on deposits and
31/2 % on guaranteed investments, He
stated that the money received cost
the company 2,97 and that it received
an average interest return from invest-
ment in this Department of 4.47%
leaving a 11/2 % margin of profit be-
tween what is paid for money and
what is received, Therefore, he stated,
the company's able to make. a very
fair profit from this Department.
Mortgages
In discussing the mortgage situa-
tion, the manager stated that the com-
pany now has in capital ,and guaran-
teed account $1,286,454 invested in
mortgages compared with $1,313,531
the previous year, •or $25,000 less than,
a year ago, even in view of the fact,
that $131,720 was loaned during the
year in new mortgages. This moder-,
ate reduction is due largely to the sub-
stantiaal principal payments on existing
loans, as there is a tendency for the
borrowers to pay off their, obligations.
In 1939 principal reductions were $85,-
000, in 1940 $131,000 and in 1941
$158,000. •
The average loan is about $1,800
and there are $1,042,000 of mortgages
without arrears; Approximately $70,-
000 is in National Housing Act loans,
which have proven very satisfactory, ,
with the interest and principal repay-
able monthly,
Real Estate
With regard 'to Real Estate, -,Mr.
Manning reported that the Company
had eight farms and twenty-two city
and town properties on hand, having,
reduced the real estate on hand from'
$147,976 in 1940 to $133,871. And .since
the first of the year a further reduc-
tion of $10,366has been made, making
this item now approximately $123,000.
He stated, further that due to the
policy of the company in improving
properties the income from this, source
had been increased from $12,766 in
1940 to $14,310 in 1941, while the ex-
penses were reduced more than $1,-
300 during the Year.
Estates arid 'Trusts
Mr. Manning stated that the admin-
istration of estates is becoming more
complicated each year with the mult-
iple .taxes and Succession duties that
are in' effect today. He said that the
Company have a staff especially train-
ed to handle estates efficiently and at
reasonable cost.
BELL TELEPHONE
SHOWS INCREASE
The 62nd annual report of The Bell
Telephone Co. Of Canada, just now in
the hands of shareholders, shows the
extradorinary job they had to do' last
year. It involved "vast quantities of
materials and supplies, many •of them
made possible through wartime sub-
stitutions. Re-use was made• of some
materials now largely absorbed by
war manufacturing needs.
To, achieve a net increase of 63,651
telephones in operation- the biggest
in the company's history-they had to
put in 243,530 telephones and take out
179,879. In other words, they had to
handle through connects and discon-
nects a total of 423,409 telephone's
during the year. it is interesting to-
note from the report that Bell tele-
phones, plus those of other systems
connected with Bell lines in Ontario
and Quebec, now total more than a.
million.
The report also points out that in.
spite of the unprecedented, volume of
calls-averaging 6,486,00 local and.
77,000 long distance connections daily'
-the speed and general standard of
service were practically unimpaired.
There are now 23,276 Bell Tele-
phone shareholders of whom. 22,062-
or 94.8 per cent.-live in Canada ands..
hold over 71 per cent, of the total.:
shares.
