Hello Homemakers! Eggs are
eggs these days! The cold weather
has made the hens “climb into their
shell”—few eggs are available yet.
Frankly, I think we were spoiled
with such easy-to-prepare products.
A cook never feels really stuck if
she has a few eggs and a few ordin
ary staples.
Eggs give us a liberal supply of
body-building
proteins, also a

weakness and
that are properly cooked are easily
digested. With this in mind, the
wise mother will see that her busy
little run-about of 3 to 12 years of
age gets the egg simply cooked
(coddled or poached). Then
are the recipes to use when
are scarce.

Huron County Council concluded
its 1943 sessions on (Friday after
noon, Before adjournment three
members announced that they would
not seek re-election as reeves of
their municipalities.
Reeve Robert E. Turner, of Gode
rich, dean of the council, and an ex-
warden, who will run for mayor of
Goderich, stated that he has been
a member of the County Council
for 14 years and had sat under
13 different wardens, He appreci
ated the associations he had en
joyed and he expressed the hope
that the county would assist fur
ther in the war effort by buying
more Victory Bonds. Mr. Turner
has been a member of the Town
Council of Goderich for 2*0 years,
Later in the day Reeve Raymond
Redmond voiced the appreciation
of the long service .given to the
county by Mr. Turner, whom all
could remember as a good friend,
and asked that an expression of this
appreciation be prepared and pre
sented to him.
Alex McDonald, popular reeve of
Ashfield for several years, also an
nounced his retirement; and Reeve
M. A. Reid, Seaforth, after stating
he had enjoyed his one year in the
council, said that he would not be
back next year. Very sincere re
gret was expressed at their deci
sions.
May Accelerate Road Program
“Before the war this county had
a program of road improvement
that planned the reconstruction and
surfacing of all county roads in
about 15 years,” the road commis
sion’s report read. It continued;
“It is probable that war conditions
will warrant an accelerated pace of
construction so that it may be that
such a program should be com
pleted in about eight years, together
with the reconstruction of old
bridges.
“This program would inv'olve the
following expenditures: reconstruc
tion of bridges, $1,036,000; 320
miles of grading and graveling,
$2,000,0'00; 320 miles of surfacing,
$1,400,000—-a total of $4,436,000.
All this work should be considered
in a post-war program and as much
as possible carried out each year,
depending upon subsidies, funds and
labor available.
“Most urban municipalities are
allowing their rebates to accumu
late to provide a fund for some sub
stantial improvement. Rebates due
are as follows: Clinton, $925.39;
Seaforth, $8 62,71; Wingham, $3,-
909.78; Blyth, $S50-.31; Brussels,
$1,939.17; Exeter, $1,998.37; Hen
sail, $1,591.30; total, $12,077.03.”
822,000 Surplus Expected
plans to keep
available equip-
The past year
date on the structure amount to
^14,135.5.7, and, when the accounts
are all submitted, after completion,,
it is expected, the dost will be in the
neighborhood of $17,0'00. Difficult
conditions were encountered in the
construction.”
E nginew l*ruisec]
Several reeves spoke to the re
port, highly commending County
Engineer Patterson and the road
commission on the completion of
the work on this bridge under dif
ficult circumstances. Other pass
ages in the report were as follows:
“A culvert at Gorrie was washed
out under a deep fill, and replaced
at a cost of $2,618,89.
“Several sections of swamp road
that had been under water when
swamps were flooded were raised.
The deep muck failed to support
one of these fills and it sank below
the surface of the ground water.
About 13,000 cubic yards of fill at a
cost of $12,000 were required before
subsistence ceased. It is expected
that other ‘sink holes’ will develop
in our roads.
“More asphalt was available this
year than in 1942, and part of our
surface treatment requirements was
carried out with satisfactory results.
“Generally maintenance of roads
and bridges was carried on as for
merly, though it is apparent that
more gravel is needed on many
roads.
“During the year equipment was
purchased, as follows; one cement
mixer, $1,145; one valve-grinding
machine, $225; one pump, $131.80;
and orders have been placed for
the supply of a tractor snowplow
at $5,016.60,. and one truck for $2,-
2'0'9.32.”
