GOOD SENSE Congratulations are due the governments and municipalities that have secured the money they need from the pockets of Cana- , dian citizens. We’re all Jock Tamson’s bairns. If, therefore, any interest is to be paid it should get into the fingers of those who buij,d our roads and 'bridges. Each dollar so loaned by Canadian citizens insures increased interest in Canadian affairs. In this way stability is given to the commonwealth. The man who has the gumption to save his dollar and who has the sense to loan it for , the good cf the municipality or of the country, is not likely to sit easy when some ne’er-do-well is in the running for public office. ******** ITS PURPOSE Tlie coming disarmament conference is but an attempt to keep the armies and navies of the world at the point where they can hold the rowdy element in check, whether that rowdy element be in a municipality or in a nation. Human nature being what it is, the judge still implies the policeman. 'Since about 1870 the world has gone crazy on the question of armaments. It was Bismarik who set the fashion for preparedness to commit lawlessness. As a climax to his policy of preparing the mailed fist, Germany has broken her own head. It will 'be found that it is the meek, that is the lawabid ing, who inherit the earth. If a bully cannot be taught to be fair, he must be whipped. ******** 'At sixty miles an hour he tried To light liis dead cigar; His widow’s weeping salty tears— iSh& veally loved that car.

JL A WARNING The minister of health for Ontario has been telling us that un less hospitals take drastic measures to reduce the number of nurses they are engaging the government will need to interfere. Only about half the graduate nurses now are able to find employment, he seems to intimate. The warning is timely and suggestive. Par ents who read it will do well to give it a good deal of consideration. For one thing, have the clean fingered jobs failed our young people? For another, has society encouraged a standard of living that simply cannot be maintained? In the next place have we allow ed ourselves to think that other people are bound to find jobs for us? Have our young people lost their poer of invention and tlieir desire for adventure? Children are- not in a position to think for themselves. This does not relieve parents of. the duty of seriously thinking for them. Young people over fifteen years of age should to answer the question. "What am I going to do with my As things look just now, about the last thing any young should look for is a soft-fingered job.

In reference to the corn borer’s salary, Clerk Holman informed, the ’members of the council that the ac counts are certified by the Agricul tural College and the Department pays fifty per cent. Reeve Haake, Goderich Township, asked how many days and hours the corn borer Inspector put in. The discussion regarding tne number of hours composing a day was closed by the Warden announcing that the reports of the work of the corn bor er and the committees pay sheets would be brought in during the af ternoon, if Council so wished. Reeve Moser inquired regarding the matter of having three members on the Children’s Shelter committee as brought in by the Striking Com mittee. Reeve Goldthorpe gracious ly withdrew his name and the War den’s was submitted. Ian MacLeod, Agricultural Repre sentative, gave a short 'summary of the work of his Department. At the short course in Dunglannon there was an enrolment of 30 boys and 37 girls, the average attendance at both courses was thirty. “The Agricultural Department is not supplying any seeds this year for School Fairs and no special assist ance is to be allowed,” said the speaker. “Other years three judges were supplied but this year these will have to be provided without as sistance. from the Department. The most successful fairs were held in St. Helens and. Belgrave. A grant of $25. to each School Fair in the County would be appreciated. Lack of local interest in some school dis tricts might hinder the holding of some fairs. Some Township Coun cils have supported Fairs to the ex tent of $25. Mr. MacLeod submit ted the financial statement of the junior Extension Fund showing re ceipts of $359.35 and a balance of 471.7?. N. W. Trewartha, of Clinton, an ex-Warden, being present was ask ed to address the council. He con gratulated the Warden on his eleva tion to office, and the County on ■having an up-to-date farmer in the ■chair, This was one of the hard ■years for County Councils. He de clared the greatest spending bodies •are the educational ones. A tre ■mendous amount of money was bo ■iiig spent op schools and consider ■able tiihe should be spent in consid ering the costs of education and the ■administration of justice; also on Agriculture on how to direct the •farmer over this period of depres sion, Mr, Irwin, former District Engine ■eer, addressed the Council oh many ■questions of the day. Seek statutory Grant It was moved by j. Ballantyne and J, A. McKenzie that the Wnrfieu and Clerk be authorized to sign and sub mit to the Minister of Public High ways the petition of the Corporation of the County of Huron showing that there was expended during the ■year 1921, the sum of $130,39944 on the County Highways system, and requesting the statutory grant on that amount as provided by the ■Highways Act. This was carried. An expression of appreciation and. thanks to the Lions’ clubs of Goder ich and Seaforth for their wonder ful work with the Crippled Children of Huron County was given on mo tion of Reeves McKibbon & Craigie. Charles M. Robertson, of Goderich was appointed to represent the Conn cil on the Goderich Collegiate Insti tute Board.
