Debt - Paid All Bills Elect Directors The annual meeting of the Hazelton District Horticultural Socfety was held in the Societys hall in Hazelton on the evening of Friday, October 1, and the Members who were present had a most interesting time and. heard some fine reports of the success of the first year since the hall was opened. The secre- tary. and treasurer reported that when the directors took hold a year ago the Society carried a debt of $1025. $800 of which was a mortgage on the hall. When the year closed there was only the mortgage left to be paid and $50 had been paid off.on that-besides the interest in full. “All outstanding bills and obHgations bad been paid and the Society was in good shape to begin an- other year. Quite a number of sug- gestions were made to the meeting for improvements to the hall, but the dir- ectors, while glad to hear the sugges- tions, were of the opinion that it would be much better to pay off or greatly reduce the mortgage before making further capital expenditures. The Board of Directors consists of five, members, three of whom retire each yenr. This year the retiring directors were R. 8. Sargent, Cooper H. Wrinch and M. A. Myros. They were re-elect- ed, James Turnbull is secretary and treasurer and will carry on for another year, ‘Phe directors greatly appreciate the generous support given them by the whole district, and hope to be favored with the same loyalty in future. “PIR PREVENTION Wisk” “In Canada’ and the United States the week of October 8rd td 9th is being observed as Fire Prevention Week in co-operation with Provincidl Fire Mar- shals, local fire chiefs and others are co-operating with civié organizations in the furtherance of the aims of Fire Prevention. ; “About: 850 péople. are burned to death and a muck larger number are injured ‘by fire'in Canada every year, The recorded: loss by ‘fire in Canada during the fifteen’ years, 1921 to 19386, exceeded $650,000,060.
