The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1938-01-27, Page 6THE EXETER TIMES-ADVOCATETHURSDAY, JANUARY 27th, 1038 "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.

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.

Of the cost of public and high school education be contributed by the government instead of the small amount now paid.—Education com­ mittee. Endorsation is asked of a resolu­ tion from the County of Lennox and Addington that the county go on re­ cord as being opposed to any change in the present county road system that would tend to lessen the author­ ity of County Council with respect to the administration of county roads.—Good Roads Committee. The County of Peterborough sub­ mitted the following resolution: That the Dominion government be requested to appoint a commission . to investigate existing conditions as Speedily as possible in regard to the difference between the cost of the consumer of agricultural pro­ ducts to the Province of Ontario and the return of the farmer from the sale of such products being too great; and the cost to the farmer has greatly increased; that (having regard to the benefit derived from the Ottawa trade agreement with the Mother Country and the Recipro­ city Treaty with the United States the government of the Dominion of Canada be requested to enter into negotiations with other nations with, the object of procuring the widest possible markets for Canadian pro­ ducts; that the Dominion govern­ ment be also urged to provide for the better marketing of Canadian agri­ cultural products in the world mar­ kets, especially in those of Great Britain and the United States.— Legislative committee.

Schools costs apart from secondary schools had advanc­ ed during the year and may advance again next year. The other estim­ ates are based on the average for the past three years, except where ac­ counts show a gradual increase from year to year. t The County Home estimates has been set at $6,000.

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.
