(Shelter Committee reported: “At present there are 11 wards in the Shelter, four boys and seven girl®, ranging- in age from six to 16 years. Under the regulations, all of these have been examined by a doctor and pronounced to be in perfect health. Eight of the child­ ren are attending school. “A new floor and covering have been laid in the kitchen. This fall the Children's Aid .Society was commended tor its progress in the past six months and the grant in­ creased from $100 to $500. Mrs. Olwen, matron, and Mr. Edwards, superintendent, were commended. “A new filing system has been in­ troduced! .and records of wards, etc., are made, in accordance with the new .requirements. The office of the superintendent has been moved to new quarters in the court house.” The Good Roadts Commission re­ ported that it expected the expend­ itures wild be within the amounts provided when all receipts are re­ ceived. Unless the council grants its ap­ proval of the- pfuirchase of neces­ sary equipment, the Commission feels it is not practicable to. keep the road east of Boussels open for wheel traffic as asked in a petition by the ratepayers. petition Endorsed Regarding the 'resolution of the County of Bruce that the .road east of Amberley be assumed as a Pro­ vincial Highway, we recommend that the petition be endorsed and that the Minister oif Highways be advised accordingly. The Commission recommend that the Minister of Highways be re­ quested to reconsider the by-law of the County cif Huron making addi­ tions to the county roads system and asking for the the approval of the remainder of the roads included in the by-laws. The report was carried as read. The Goderich Dairy’s request to place a sign on the Court House above or below the clock was re­ ferred to the Property Committee. The sign would be painted in at­ tractive colors and -would have sign advertise Hu-ion County Milk Pro­ ducts. The company would agree to pay for- space and electricity. Motions Presented Elliott-Haake—’That as the re­ turning Warden, Mr. Sweitzer, has rendered consistent and faithful sei vice throughout the tenure of his office, we, the County Council, reet.mmend to Stephen Township that he be .returned again as reeve. Carried. Elliott-Hanley—That E. Patter­ sen be appointed to the Clinton Col­ legiate Institute Board in place of Dr. J. S. Evans, resigned. Carried. Jones-Scott—That a. by-daw be prepared in respect to annual al­ lowances to be paid to members of the Mothers’ Allowances local board. Carried. Cardiff-Elliott — That Huron County Council feel that the mat­ ter regarding Public School Inspect­ ors should be dropped as judgment has been passed by His Honor Judge T. M. Costello and we feel it useless to proceed further. Carried. .McNall-Turnar—That this Coun­ cil ask the Department of Highways for an explanation of their action in selecting only roads in the south part of the county for- inclusion in the county roads system. In view of the fact that Huron County By­ law No. 20 requested that roads in all parts of the county be- so desig­ nated, and as we have only two miles of pavement in North Huron and 50 miles in South Huron, we cannot understand the Departments attitiude. Carried. Eckert-Hemingway: That where­ as the office of the county clerk is the logical place for records respect­ ing Old Age Pensions and Mothers’ Allowances and whereas they are re­ quired to pay 5 0 per cent, of Mothers’ Allowances, and whereas the - Provincial Government has al­ ready required the county clerk to maintain the records, and whereas this has worked out advantageously, we therefore, petition the Ontario Government to have the county clerk acting in a similar capacity in respect to Mothers’ Allowances so that all records kept are available. Carried.

When men meet as they usually do at such gatherings, to obscure issues harm and only harm is wrought. The world of politics and business is sadly in need of a moral tonic. ■ ******** There has been a lot of mischievous talk lately to the effect that Italy must be given a large portion of Ethiopia in order to pro­ mote Italian interests. These people are saying: “If Italy’s thwart­ ed it means Italian .collapse and that will be too bad for Europe. Therefore, sacrifice Ethiopia.” The simple truth is that Italy has sown the wind. Let her reap the whirlwind. iShe knew what she was doing. If Europe tries to settle the Italo-Ethiopian situation on anything less than a just basis she is but fanning the fires that threaten to destroy her. ******** Perth Presbytery has nominated Mr. Lome Eedy, of the St. Marys Journal-Argus for the editorship of The New Outlook, the official organ of The United Church of Canada.

LET US RESERVE OUR JUDGEMENT The complete reversal of policy by France and Britain by which these governments have allowed Mussolini to be a winner in every diplomatic way in this terrible Ethiopian affair has filled Britons with dismay and perplexity. If things are as< they seem to be, the action of these great powers is the most ghastly act in modern his­ tory. Britons are angry, dumbfounded, at the condition of affairs thus brought about. Attila the Hun. seems to be resurrected. Mor­ al conditions, seem to be scrapped. Justice seems to have been pushed from her British pedestal. Our sincere hope is that things is this respect are not what they seem. We wish to suspend judge­ ment till wo are more fully informed. In a state of affairs that ha® rocked the minds of sober Eng­ lishmen and has caused a heat of anger in the hearts of thousands of her best citizens, serious minded folk are asking what is afoot that Britain, and France have been brought to this pass, perplexed as Btitons are they) have not lost 'faith in the integrity of their leadens. Steadfastly but grimly nevertheless they are asking “Why have you acted thus?” When Britain told her people that her defences were weak to the point of peril, Englishmen already taxed to’ the point of burdensomeness sa,id “Go ahead! Security .must be assured.” Now that British prestige and honor seem to be threatened, they as sternly say, “Why have you’ given the appear­ ance of committing offence for which soldiers are shot down when on duty?” Britons make no accusations but they do await explan­ ations. (Statesmen before now have been hurled to ruin before the white heat of British anger, December 32, 1910 Mr. and Mrs. D.
