"NOW THERE ARE FOUR"
„ . . Say Owners of the "Other Three"
Leading Lowest
For years, buyers of lowest priced cars have
been guided by the sound advice . . . “Look
at all three.” It was good advice, for they are all
good ears, these three. They have given a big
money’s .worth to millions.
* * *
But now, listen to what owners of these three
have to say , , . a group of average owners who
liked their ears and thought they had the big
gest money’s worth on the market . . . until
we asked them to try out a new lowest priced
car, They tested it side by side with a new 1938
model of the car they had been driving, The
following statements are typical of what these
owners said:
Owner of “Car A” (name on request): “I’m
surprised at the difference , . . your new
car wins easily. The motor never seems to
strain a bit, at any speed. The steering is
great , . . much less road shock.”
Owner of “Car B" (name on request): “A
lot roomier car than mine, and the back seat
is more comfortable. The Hudson 112 is
Priced Cars
steadier, too . . . the motor smoother and
quieter. A better car all around!”
Owner of tfCar C” (name on request):
“Those brakes make a hit with me. You
really STOP in this Hudson . . , quicker
and straighter. An easier car to handle, too.
Safer and sturdier all the way, in my
opinion.” . * * *
What is this new lowest priced car which dared
invite side-by-Bide comparisons by men and
women who had bought and were satisfied with
the “other three?" IT IS THE NEW HUDSON
112, soon to be announced.
* * *
First preview of the new Hudson 112 will be
held here this week. Come and see a combina
tion of size, room, smooth performance, sturdi
ness and safety on the one hand, and remarkably
low cost of ownership and operation on the other
. .. such as has never been offered in any other
lowest priced car. A better deal for your dollar.

Costs Reduced
Clerk J. M. Roberts in submitting
his report showed there was a steady
reduction throughout recent years in
High and Continuation School cost
for 1937. In that year costs amount
ed to $42,300; in 1934, $57,000' and
in 1933 to over $60,000. This he
said would have a favorable effect
in setting the mill rate.
'Old Age Pensions and Mothers
Allowances costs in 1936 amounted
to $35,480. In 1937 these costs
amounted to $11,518. Apart from
the cost of remunerating the Huron
Old Afe and Mothers’ Allowances Lo
cal Board-.for its services, the full
cost will be absorbed by the province
There were 855 old age pensioners
at the close of the year.
There were 251 hospitalization
cases in 1937 reported as indigents
A considerable number of these were
refused by the reeves of the various
municipalities as indigents.
“We have made it a practice
wherever possible, to have sanitar
ium patients returned to their homes
even though they had on occagions to
return for occasional treatment, The
reduction per patient in some cases
was as much as $500 per annum.
This has meant a saving of at least
$3,000 to the county. Patients re
turned to their homes on this basis
have always been with their entire
approval and with the hospital’s as
surance they were fit to leave the
hospital.
The report was referred to the Le
gislative Committee for consider
ation.,
126 Prisoners
J. B. Reynolds, gaoler, reported
there have been 126 prisoners in
1937. Of these 48 were for theft;
23 for L.C.A.; 17 for Motor Vehicles
Act; one for vagrancy; seven for
breaking and entering; fraud, six;
assault, four; robbery with violence,
four; Inland Revenue Act, two; car
nal knowledge, one; indecent as
sault, one; preventing justice, one;
impersonating sheriff, one; posses
sion of drugs, one; attempted suicide
one.
There are six; prisoners in custody
at present; cost of daily rations 12a
cents.
Report on Roads
R. Patterson, County Engineer re
ported road expenditures of $138,-
439.11; lion-subsidy expenditures of
$130,739.94. Receipts amounted to
$151,020.
There were 261,202 gallons of'bit-
umin used during the year. At cur
rent contract prices the spraying of
this material would be $6,530'.05,
while the cost with the county ma
chine was $1‘,9 01.19 and adding
$500 for other charges, $2,140.19,
representing a saving of $4,128.86;
448 tons of calcium chloride were
applied to 119 miles of road,
58,524 cubic yards of crushed
gravel and 2,670 cubic yar^s of pit
run gravel were produced and ap
plied on the roads. The cost of
crushing was a little 'higher this
year, owing to the equipment becom
ing old, and due to operations in
more costly pits. Consideration of
crushing by contract is in order and
it will be found expedient to contract
a larger portion of our work in the
future, or replace some crushers with
modern equipment.
“Depending upon the type of work
undertaken, new equipment will be
needed by the county, and it may be
found profitable to exchange some of
our trucks as part payment on new
ones.
“Until the end of the year all of
the county roads were kept open for
cars, and since that time 185 miles,
together with more or less work on
35 miles of provincial highway.
“The county has in use only about
one-third the amount of snow fences
needed. To supply this at once
wop Id involve an expedniture of
a'bout $25,000 but some should be
bought this year.
“The costs of operating the new
trucks are: No. 1, $1,991.88; for
56,775 yard miles, 3.5c. per yard
mile; No. 2, $1,622.72; for 36,054
yard miles, 4.5 c. per yard mile.

The balanced feeding of poultry results in consistent profits. That’s
because you get higher egg production and higher percentage of
Hatchability and at the same time you lower your feeding costs!
Here Is whsi it does:
Dear Sirs:
Two years ago, I was having very poor hatches and heard of your
Shur-Gain Egmaker Hatchability Concentrate, so I tried it. It was
too late in the season to expect any big results, but I was surprised
to see such a wonderful improvement in both hatchability and vitality.
I liked it so well that last year I insisted on all my flock owners feeding
it, commencing at the start of the season. I never had a healthier
lot of chickens than I had in 1937, and lots of them.
My flock owners also had exceptionally good egg production.
Practically all of them use your regular Egmaker Laying Concentrate
up until the time they switch to the Shur-Gain Hatchability, and it
pleases them yery much to be able to obtain good production and at
the same time, a premium for hatching eggs.
I have no hesitation in recommending your Shur-Gain Egmaker
Poultry Concentrate for uniformly high egg production, and your
Hatchability Concentrate for an abundance of healthy, vigorous
' chickens.
Yours very truly,
(Sgdi) J. E. McKinley
