Extremely heavy losses had been
paid out in 1949, Mr, Merton Reid,
secretary -treasurer, stated in his re-
port. Direct losses numbered 97 for
a total of ;31,938.19, Some of the
largest losses were: Gordon Elliott,
McKillop, barn and contents, $6,-
978.19; 'Gordon Millson, Goderich
twp., dwelling and contents, over-
heated stove, $1500,00; Norman Ste-
phenson, Stanley twp., dwelling and
contents, cause unknown. $1,995.00;
Joseph Postill, Goderich twp., dwell-
ing, coal oil stove, $2.200,00; Arnold
Dale, Hullett, barn and contents,
lightning, $3,886.00; Geo, L. Fal-
coner, Tuckersmith, dwelling and
contents, cause unknown, $2500.00;
Joe McCarthy, Logan, barn and con-
tents, cause unknown $7,735.00.
The assets of the company total
$12'7,811.10 and liabilities 36,521.50.
The surplus at end of 1949 was
$121,289.60.
In his report Secretary -Treasurer
Merton Reid said:
"In presenting your 73rd Annual
Report, I regret to advise that 1949
was a year .of extremely heavy loss-
es. Direct losses numbered 97 for a
total of $31,938.19.
"Seven major fire losses were re-
ported, consisting of three barns and
four dwellings. Two of the barns
were from unknown causes, while the
third was caused by lightning. Of
the dwellings, two were unknown,
one from overheated stove, and the
.other from a coal oil stove.
"1 am thankful that no loss of life
occurred, but am fully convinced
that some of these could have been
avoided if more caution was used in
operation of stoves, inspeetion and
use of electric wiring, and smoking.
Only recently, while in a risk, I was
shocked to find electric cords wound
around nails. This is contrary to all
electric' regulations, and policyhold-
ers are asked to use only Hydro ap-
proved equipment and properly in-
stalled wiring. Losses cost your Com-
pany money to .pay the claims, but
invariably the policyholder is still
the major loser.
"Our financial position has been
reduced by $6,384.14. Insurance in
force has increased by 31,106,000,00
while re -insurance placed with other
companies amounted to nearly four
and a half million dollars. This is
entirely due to the larger amounts
written on individual risks and the
necessity of reinsuring same to avoid
a major catastrophe.
"I would appeal to every policy-
holder to be ]tis own fire warden.
On you alone rests whether or not
fire hazards are kept to a minimum;
with you rests the difference be-
tween CAREFULNESS and CARE-
LESSNESS—both start with '0,'
but the latter can mean Disaster.
"I would again remind you that
operation of tractor, truck or buck -
rake call for fire extinguishers un-
der policy contract. Have you se-
cured yours? They are available at
office or from Agent or Director at
cost."

HURON HOG PRODUCERS.
HOLD ANNUAL MEETING
The Huron County Hog Producers
held their annual meeting in Clinton
on February 10th. with a good at-
tendance present. Guest speaker for
the occasion teas Mr. W. Bishop of
Norwich, Ont., a Director for The
Ontario Hog Producers'
organiza-
tion. He gave an interesting;
talkIk on
the outlook for the hog industry for
the coming year. He also gave :ome
interesting facts and reasons why
the Organization has not been able
to function as effectively as it
should.
•The Hog Committee for Huron
'County for 1950 is Mr, Orval Taylor,
chairman, Mr. Alf Warner and Mr.
Harry Sturdy members, and Mr, Wil-
liam Young of Blyth as Sec, Treas.
The annual meeting of the Ontario
Hog Producers' will be held in Tar -
onto on March lst. and 2nd. 1950.
Every township in Huron County is
entitled to one voting delegate at
this Convention. This gives Huron
County sixteen votes on all ques-
tions discussed.
The work done by the Ontario Hog
Producers' Organization has been of
great value to all farmers who pro-
duce hogs in large or small numbers.
The present subsidy on hogs would
never have been granted if it had
not been for the strong representa-
tion made to the Government by this
organization. The Organization is
not satisfied with the results they
obtained and are continuing to
strive for this subsidy to be increas-
ed to bring the marketing value of a
hog nearer the 1949 level,.
The subsidy at present is $3,50
per one hundred lbs. of pork sold.
If a hog dressed one hundred and
fifty lbs. a farmer receives $5.25
subsidy on that particular hog. In
order to get that. 35.25 per hog the
farmer pays 2e to the organization
responsible for obtaining this subsi-
dy: Yet some farmers ask, "What
has this organization done for us"?
