CANE VS. PICTURE
DEBATED IN HURON
The County Council is in a del
emma as to how best to honor Huron
County’s former wardens.
The custom has been to present
the retiring executive with a gold
headed cane, but it has been noted
by other members that few appear
with such trimmings and a change
is being urged. In some counties,
it is pointed out, the retiring war
den takes home the easy chair from
which he has directed the county’s
affairs for a year, but the suggest
ion made was to hang an enlarged
picture of each on the walls of the
county building,
Reeve Owen Geiger, 80 years of
age, dean of the Council, the last of
wthe sidewhiskered gentlemen in Hur-
dli,’ and an x-Warden, took strenuous
■objection to the picture gallery. A
natty dresser, he thinks the gold
headed cane the real wrinkle and he
may have his way. The issue will be
decided this week.

TO CLEAN UP FALKS
Of late years the urban and rural
fall fails in Ontario have been drift
ing from bad to worse in the matter
of midway proceedings. Since the de
pression struck, it would see that all
sorts of shady characters and crooks
have taken to the road for easy pick
ings and have chosen the fall fairs
as a medium for their activities.
Some of their games are little shor^
of daylight robbery and it has been
known that a few of the so-called
midway shows are purely indecent
exposures of rather elderly ladies
who hide whatever modesty they pos
sess behind liberal layers of paint
and powder. The debauching of the
fall fairs has gone so far that the
Department of Agriculture through
its Fair Representative has decided
to call a halt and accordingly orders
have gone forth to all the Fair
Boards ordering a clean-up of inde
cent shows, high pitch men, slot ma
chines, crown and anchor, dice, roll
downs, bucket, three-card monte,
swinging ball, punch board, money
wheel and co'in table games. All gyp
sies are to be barred from the fairs
and no space is to be sold to maga
zine subscription agents or palmistry
operators. It looks as though the
Department has thought of every
thing but the wily pickpocket who
usually reaps a harvest at the St.
Marys show.

DIFFERENT WITH CHANGED
LETTER
One little letter, makes a big dif
ference, Reeve Pryde, of Exeter,
emphasized in County Council.
He told fellow members that the
House of Refuge letter read "House
of Refuse.” He said that it was un
fortunate reflection oh the inmates
of the institution making it appear
that they were discarded humanity.
Clerk J. R. Roberts said the mis
take had been detected after only
some letterheads had been used. The
Hlancc wore thrown into the fur

WRITING ink
Writing ink is one of the manu
factures in daily use today which
reached a high degree of perfection
long before cur time. The use of
ink dates back to the era following
the invention of writing. The earl
iest writing inks consisted of a mix
ture of lampblack with a solution of
glue or gum and are still used in
China, Egypt and the East, but have
long been replaced amongst western
people by inks made from iron and
galls. The galls of commerce con
tain tannin, which is used in making
inks and dyes.
This transition from carbon inks
of the Eastern type into the modern
inks took place very gradually and
was mot complete until the 14th cen
tury. Pliny, , Vitruvius and other
classical authors mention writing
inks, and old deeds and manuscripts
show that its manufacture had reach
ed a high degree of perfection in the
Middle Ages.
Most of the ink sold in Canada is
manufactured in the Dominion. At
factory prices the production in, a
year is considerably more than one
quarter of a million dollars. Our im
ports have averaged less than $30,-
000 in the last two or three years,
coming mainly -from the United
States, but smaller amounts also
from Hong Kong, China, Germany,
Japan, Holand and France.
This information is taken from
re-ports issued by the Manufacturing
and External Trade Branches of the
Dominion Bureau of Statistics.

High Cost of Justice
Reeve Joseph Nagle -of Hibbert
Township told members of the Perth
County Council that there should be
an investigation to determine the
reason for the high administration
of Justice costs in Perth County.
“We should know more about some
of these costs,” said Reeve Nagle.
After a brief discussion the matter
was dropped.
"Take the Crown Attorney for in
stance. 1 know of two police courts
cases in Stratford. The charges were
the same. In one case the accused
was fined $50, and costs of $12 and
in the other the accused was fined
$25. and the costs were $21.50. I
find that in the latter case the Crown
Attorney’s costs were $14. If he were
to appear in a dozen cases in a day
his fees would be expensive. Ad
EXETER’S MAIN STREET
The above picture gives a view of the Main Street of Exeter showing the new lighting system with all w ires removed from the street. The
cut is reproduced by courtesy of the Canadian Line Materials, Limited, manufacturers of the new light standards. The appearance of Exeter’s
Main street has received many favorable comments from visitors and on different occasions representatives from other municipalities have been
lieie looking it over with a view to making a similiar change. In the above picture pedestrians are conspicuous by their absence and it is hard
to believe that even at any time duiing the noon hour the street is practically deserted.

Reeve George Ronnenberg of
Mitchell wanted to know if any
one else received.a straight salary
except the police magistrate.
.. Cost Township $2,000
"Some years ago, the Township of
Hibbert had a dispute with a tax
payer. It was all over $35 and could
have gone to Division Court. A re
view of that case shows that law
was made for lawyers and judges.
The entire case, after being taken
to a higher court cost the town
ship nearly $2,000. The lawyers d d
very well by it. That is another
thing which should be investigated,”
said Reeve Nagle.
He concluded by stating he be
lieved the county council is entitled
to know the salary of the Crown
Attorney and whether or not he
worked on a fee basis.
