cessities of life if no employment

such cases the place where they

The suggestion that the govern
ment memorialize the railways to-
enforce the act dealing with the
transportation of transients* thereby
making it more difficult for them
to travel about the country, was ac
ceded to-.
Council struck out the -clause in
the recommendation suggesting
that legislation be enacted making
it an offence under the Highway
Traffic Act to convey transients
along the highways. Reeve Mathe
son said: “It is not easy to distin
guish a transient from others,
might be entertaining angels
awares.”
Reeve Elliott declared there
a sympathetic touch to tihe ques
tion.
Reeve Turnei' of Goderich said it
is not transients only who ask foi'
rides. Many young men will flag a

The amounts are not large but in
the aggregate are of considerable

The main objection noted by
Reeve Scott is the innumerable ac
counts of constables. “It isn’t neces-

whole regiment of them at a politi

inexpensive way—not only at Christmas

The heaviest general expenditure
from 1st January to 3 0th* November’
disclosed in the report of Mr. A. H.
Erskine, County Treasurer, were:
Mothers’ Allowances $16,8:70.00;
Old Age Pensions $15,2,09.28; Ad
ministration of Justice $17,386.10;
Hospitals, $1-9,080.87.
By the end of 1936, the amount
spent for. (School purposes was plac
ed at $!5i5,000.
The net deficit for the year is
estimated at $4,650.00.
“In the estimates in June,” Mr.
Erskine’s report states a deficit of
$7,'500 was anticipated. An increase
in the Administration of Justice cost
nearly $5,000 more than was ex
pected; had that item been normal
the County would have ended the
year without a deficit.
Consider also the fact that we
have paid the Department $29,000
on road account, which completes
our payments; and the fact that our
share of the cost >of Social Service
has advanced $10,000 a year; but
we ihave met all these increases on

There is nothing on earth that we cherish,
And nothing a husband loves more,
Than the wife that was given to help ihim,
And save in temptations so sore.
When trials and conflict surround him,
She. then is his comfort and stay,
And when the dark clouds gather o’er him,
Her smile quickly* drives them away.
In sorrow and anguish what comfort,
Goines from her watching and care,
No battle go fierce or no danger
To keep 'her away from him there.
She will stand by when all others forsake him.
And keep, brave and true till the last
And in life’s darkest hour will comfort,
Until every temptation is past.
She will always be. sweetheart and dearest,
Of any on earth lire holds dear,
Hei* voice will always be sweetest
Of any he evei’ will hear.
At last when life’s journey is ended,
By her side he will lie dowxx to rest,
And in Heaven she will be with him,
Forever and even, the blest.
