IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
The large increase in the amount of poultry raised in recent years is, we be
lieve, apparent to everyone. This has created a real marketing problem for us,
as the volume received overtaxes our facilities. Ap it seems a most inopportune
time to get extra help or to erect an adequate building, we feel we must reduce
the amount of poultry we can take in.
ACCORDINGLY, AFTER NOV. 22, WE WILL RECEIVE POULTRY FOR
POUND OVER“TRADE” OR “ON ACCOUNT” ONLY. THE USUAL lc PER
PREVAILING CASH PRICES WILL BE PAID.
This is not meant in any sense as an affront to our customers who find it not
possible or convenient to trade out their poultry as ample facilities are available
locally for cash sellers. This move is entirely intended to make it possible to look
after our general store trade in a more efficient manner.
Also please note—no poultry can be received on Saturdays.

WARDEN TUCKEY PRESIDES
AT COUNTY COUNCIL
In his opening address at the
November session of Huron County
Council at Goderich Tuesday after
noon, Warden B. W. Tuckey said
that citizens of this county
date invested, $6,635,450 in
Bonds to assist in Canada’s
fort, and of this the county
had subscribed $105,000, or $75,000
of it this year. He warned his hear
ers to take their cue as to the
war’s end from Winston Churchill,
who predicted that the toughest
part was yet to come.
Construction had been kept to a
minimum, the warden said. Only
one new bridge, very necessary, had
been built. He urged that an addi
tion be built to the County Home
after peace came.
The report of the warden’s com
mittee declaring against an open
deer season in Huron was confirmed
after a debate. There was no divi
sion. Warden Tuckey, Reeves Shad
dick, Wilson, Armstrong and Wat
son urged an open season charging
that many deer were being shot out
of season and that there was a need
for a full-time game overseer.
Reeves Weir, Rathwell, Wheeler,
Smith and others noted a marked
dcrease in the deer population after
last year’s open season and were
opposed. All were agreed, however,
that many deer were being shot
out of season and that the appoint
ment of a full-time
was overdue.
The statement of
H. Erskine forecast
plus in addition to the $75,0i00 in
vested in Vistory Bonds, $45,000 of
of which came from county high
ways account and which has been
set aside for post-war work.
Of the $27,100 set aside at the
beginning of the year for patriotic
grants a total of $24,448 has been
spent.
