Council adjourned to meet 9.30 a.m. Wednesday. at "CAI ATI A’ ■MlJilllIH TEA The by re­ Huron County Council Warden J. M. Eckert in address­ ing the opening of the June session of Huron County Council on Tuesday afternoon suggested that each mun­ icipality in the country be asked to pay over one mill of their county taxes on July 30 th instead of at the end of the year, in order to meet' the grants for secondary schools which necessitates the borrowing by Huron County of $42,000 for a six months’ period, the interest on which would amount to $1,500. '“It is harly fair,” said the War­ den in reference to the regulation “as we can borrow’ only 70% of our expenditure. If we pay the $42,000 it means a loss of $1,500, and we have to go through a lot of red tape to get it.” Mr. Eckert referred to the build­ ing of roads and the knowledge he and the Road Commission had gained in visits to other counties. He had .understood, he said, that .42 miles of road would be taken over by the province from Amberley to Elmira and from Harriston to Bluevale. He believed there are about 35 miles more to be asked for. “We must either raise the rate or get the province to take them over.” , the Education Committee. Dr. W. F. Gallow, Goderich, wrote asking council to co-operate with him in having curbing placed in front of the registry office which is next door to his residence to complete curbing on North street.

Referred to Property Com­ mittee. An invitation from the County of Norfolk to attend a picnic there on June 9 and inspect the reforestation in that municipality was read. Considerable discussion ensued as to the benfit derived and the cost to council of the visit. Reeves Bow­ man and Haake favored going as Norfolk County was one of the most There are 396 miles of county road advanced in reforestation.

They j are really doing away with them-, selves. I hope in future we will use ( our own brains instead of someone! else’s.” Thursday session Following a ^discussion at morning session introduced Reeve George McNall, of Blyth, garding the employment of outside labor on Huron County roads, Huron County Council passed a resolution to the Department of Highways re­ questing that the men of Huron County be given the first considera­ tion on the highways in Huron Co. The reeve of Blyth claimed that between 30 and 35 men from Strat­ ford had been employed. Complaints were voiced by Reeves Richard John­ ston and Gilbert Frayne that when the relief officer at Stratford was appealed to replies to letters were tardy. There was a mix-up in the registration of the unemployed. Reeve Bowman said cards he had received from Stratford had been sent back and after waiting a week was told the registration had been changed and now men are .register­ ed as they are employed. Council will send a resolution to the Department of Municipal Affairs requesting something more definite be issued Pensions Board as Deputy Goderich, and equipment returned when stables are discharged or and where are these kept?” or $10,000 is being made the warden assured Reeve who considered it poor busi- the ■county’s part not to use J.

(U Ford, in Toronto, author of a biography of Dr. Dunlop, who expressed surprise that there was no portrait of the famous legislator in Goderich, and said a fine oil paint ing is possessed by Stratford and is hanging in the library of that city, reproduced from one in the Academy of Medicine in Toronto. The latter bears the following inscription: “William Dunlop Esq., M-R.C. As­ sistant Burgeon, 89tlx Regiment, Lower Canada, Niagara 1813-14; India, 1815-20; on Medical Jurisprudence, ity of Edinburgh; Warden Forests, Canada Company; First Huron Regiment, 1837, Com­ missioner of the Peace, London Dis­ trict, 183S; M.P.P, for Huron Par­ liament of Canada, 1841-45; Litera- tuer, Colonizer, Patriot.” Reeve Bowman said he had seen the portrait in Stratford, He thought Huron county would do well to honour Dr. Dunop in some way. The appreciation of Huron was voiced by Warden Eckert to Mr. Asquith for the gift which will be suitably framed and hung in the county building. Roy Patterson, county engineer, who had been commissioned at the January session to make an exam­ ination of Dr. Dunlop’s tomb and surrounding lands in Colborne T'wp. with a view to improving same, said the proper improvement of this his­ toric spot will be affected by any change in the No. 21, -which road used by Dunlop’s time. con- Renew Now!

A- Asquith of Au- lon to the county council of Huron, and other items of historical value, feature the morning session of Hu­ ron council on Thursday. The portrait, which is one. and a half by two .feet, shows the far-fam­ ed colonizer and patriot seated at a desk, and is a rep-eduction of a pen sketch contained in Fraser's Maga­ zine, Edinburgh, in 1S33. Mr. Asquith told of interviewing access to the plot will be improved. Mr. Patterson had persuaded H. J. Moore, -who is interested in the work of beautifying the roads, the construction of picnic and parking grounds and in the preservation of points of interests, under the partment of Highways, to look the site. Mr. Moore had suggested the struction of a superstructure above the cairn to protect it and give it a somewhat more imposing appearance Mr. Moore had kindly offered to make a sketch showing shrubbery, grass plots, paths, etc., that will of- foi* a suitable design. He believed that an expenditure of two or three thousand dollars will create an im­ provement that will be appropriate. (Continued on next page) J. Huckins and W.

Mrs. Davidson, in asking support for a small grant, said the association has the interest of the rural children at heart. ‘They, are not getting a square deal,’ she claimed.They have not the advantage of the city children. Only ten per cent, of the rural children each reach the university. Little has been done towards educating them for their life work. One of the main objects of the as­ sociation is to provide something in the curriculum which would help rural boys and girls to take up agri­ cultural occupations. Mrs. Davidson said. Asked what the grant would be used for, Mrs. Davidson said stamps, stationery, telephone the secretary’s salary, which been voluntarily cut in two. "Give me the rural school < time.” said Mrs. Davidson. “The city schools have too much spoon-feed­ ing and one-class drilling all the time. The rural pupils have to de­ pend on themselves.” Consideration of the request was promised by the warden, as ho thanked Mrs. Davidson, *Tests conducted by Ross Federal Research Corp; for and' had every For stated that Blue Sunoco improved the performance of their cars L TOP PERFORMANCE ... at regular gas price S.
