On Friday he was nominated by George W, Cowan, Londesboro, former clerk of Hullett, and secon• ded by Ed. Youngblut, also of leondesboro. Election Sure An election was assured in Hull- ett on Saturday night, when the period available to candidates came to a close, and five names stood for council. They were; Tom Leiper, moved by George Co- wan, seconded by J, C. Saunder- cock; Emmerson Hesk, moved by Harvey Hunking, seconded by Ed, Youngblut; Archie Young, moved by E. Youngblut, seconded by George Cowan; George Brown. moved by James A. McEwing, RR 1, Blyth, seconded by George W. Carter, RR 1, Londesboro; Hugh Flynn, moved by Robert H. Goy- im- and seconded by Glen A. Car- ter, both of RR 1, Londesboro. The first four named are veter- ans on municipal work, some hay. ing served the township since be , fore 1950. Mr. Brown recalls that he started in as a councillor about 1939. Hugh Flynn is new to the field of politics. He is 23 years old, married, and has been employed with T. B. Allen in Londesboro for the past six years. New Clerk Harry Tebbutt made his first re , port as clerk of Hullett, noting that $8,000 of 1958 taxes already had been paid. Reeve Reports Reeve Dewitt stated that unpaid taxes paid for themselves in Hull- ett, by means of a 2 percent pen- alty, plus 6 percent interest char ged. The surplus of $32,000 in the township's treasury had been con- sidered a little high, so the coun- cillors had reduced the mill rate a little to mean about $2,500 less revenue in 1958. Speaking of county work, Mr. jewitt read from the engineer's report of roads in Huron, remark- ing that the road to Auburn from Carlow was included in the total of one million spent this year, but that this would be paid in full by the province, since, the project was considered a development road. For the first time, tenders had been called for fuel for county buildings and as a result oil was down from 18 cents, to 14.3 cents, PROCLAMATION Municipal Election Township of Hullett Will be held on Monday, Dec. 1 1 9 5 8 For the four seats on Council.

Chairman of the meeting was John Armstrong, ex-warden, who remarked upon the value of the county farm as an experimental station. Reeve John Deeves, God- erich Township, also commented on this, noting that next year the Huron this, and Crop Improvement Association would be using ten acres of the farm in a long term experimental plot project, with which they hoped to train the young people in farming in the future. Road Superintendent Leonard Caldwell, road super intendent told of the building of the Hog's Back Bridge, expected to cost $32,000, and it probably would be finished this week, He mentioned two other small brid- ges on which work had been done and that culverts in Branch B of the Kinburn drain would cost $550. Senior Councillor George Brown, Blyth, remarked upon the great deal of work which the clerk had to do, and noted that the Hog's Back Bridge had been delayed while the contractor completed other work. Tom Leiper noted that gravel cost was down 5 cents per yard in 1958. Meanwhile the cost of cattle spraying had gone up. He suggested that on the year's work in 1958 would probably show a deficit, but this would reduce the surplus, which council had decided was plenty high enough. Archie Young, who had spent two months on the west coast and visiting relatives there and a sis- ter in Idaho, remarked that he had missed out on some of the worriep about the new bridge while he was away. Emmerson Hesk has had five years experience on council. He spoke of the new bridge and the good luck they had in having good weather long enough to get it poured. He noted the high cost of education and the need to see that our children get the best education possible. He was concerned that though a gymn was considere3 necessary at the Clinton Collegiate, a new one would cost $120,000 and there was no grant given for it. He felt that if the department felt it was necessary they should ar- range for a grant. Hugh Flynn spoke briefly, say- ing he felt it was time for him to try to gain a seat on council. He would be happy to "cross his brid- ges as they came to him" and stat-0 his intention to run, Collegiate Addition J. W. VanEgmond reported for the CDCI Board concerning expen• ses and receipts in regard to the operation of the school, noting that Dr. Dunlop, Minister of Education, had the attitude that grants would be paid only on educational rooms There is no grant paid on wash- rooms, nor hallways, either, said Mr. VanEgmond. Chairman Armstrong noted the $12,000 fees paid by RCAF Stat- Harold's White Rose The following was copied from the "Wheat Pool Budget", Novem- ber 14, 1958; "Agriculture Minister Harkness has predicted that for the first time in several years all surplus prairie wheat may be re- moved from farms and delivered to elevators in the current crop year, "According to estimates, 204 mil- lion bushels of wheat remained on farms last July 31. Production a- mounted to 341 million bushels this fall, giving total supply of 545 million bushels, After allowing for seed and feed needs, it should be possible to deliver the balance, he predicted, Last year, prairie marketing of wheat totalled 378 million bushels". Seems to me I remember some- one saying that Agricultural "sur- pluses" have a strange way of dis- appearing. My memory isn't too accurate when I have to go back over ten years but I think it was 1946 that we had our last poor crop in this area. Ever since it seems that each year's crop has been just a little better than the year before, This was true in the west until a year ago there was a drop in yields and this year, a greater drop. Are we heading toward a series of poor crops? Some of you may recall that once upon a time there was a king called Pharaoh who had a chief advisor named Joseph. This wise man told Pharaoh that there would be seven years of bounteous crops followed by seven years of famine. This Pharaoh, shall we say equally wise, said "Thank you Joseph. Each year of the bount- ion Clinton for the privilege of sending 45 children to CDCI. He said that the municipality of Hull- ett had once requested that the request for funds for support of the school from the township be based on the number of pupils at- tending, but they had been told this could not be done. The town- ship payment is on the basis of so many mills on the equalized as- sessment. Oliver Anderson reported for Seaforth District High School There was no report from the God- erich collegiate board, nor from the hospital. Assessor . George Carter stated that assessments were up about $11,000 and that this year there, were two rates, with commercial establishments paying one mill higher. He commented on the pro- blems of trailer homes in the township. Reeve John Deeves reported that his township had approved the ad- dition to the Clinton Collegiate, and said, that he would be ready. to go as a delegate to see if grants on the other rooms could not be added. eous crops you shall go through the land and collect this "surplus" grain and store it carefully in granerigg against the time of fee mine", The years of famine came and again Joseph went through- out the land at the King's com- mand and distributed the grain to those who had need. Biblical history contains a world of wisdom for us yet so many tim- es details are lacking. Did Joseph go through the land crying "sur- plus" while his servants came a- long behind and bought up the wheat for storage at a "buck" "a bushel? Then in the time of fam- ine was it resold to the producer, at "five" a bushel? We aren't told but I get the impression that it was collected at fair price and resold at the same price and all people rejoiced at the prophecy of TIVONERSMITII LADUIS TO EXClifekNOE OX.FTS The Tuckersmith Ladies Club-, will meet at the home of Mrs, Frank Walters on Wednesday, ember 3 at 8.30 p.m. Roll cal" will be an exchange of 75 cent Christmas gifts, Joseph and the wisdom of Pharaoh, I wonder if our statisticians; could forecast production reasonab- ly well? Could our governments then apply the wisdom of Phar- aoh? How will the disappearance of farm stored grain affect prices?' Will the farmer, 13roducing hogs on contract lose his shirt or his contract? In either case he will' lose his income if feed prices were• to jump $20 a ton. Would the consumer object to, the government spending money to guarantee a supply of food?' Perhaps Producer Organizations; shOuldn't expect farmers to par into, a stabilization fund to store surplus products. Perhaps the con- sumer should be charged a sort or tax on food products to, provide insurance against famine.
