The traffic last year the heaviest in its experience, all tourist accommodation was filled to capacity. A discussion on the amount asked of municipalities by the Wartime Prices and Trade Board to assist in maintaining ration boards was launched when Reeve Frayne, Ash­ field, stated his municipality haa been asked for $5 a month. Many reeves commended the system as a part of the war effort. Motions Presented A motion by Reeves Bowman ana Morritt proposed that, as the county pays for the burial of indigent pa­ tients in public institutions, where an indigent patient moves to an­ other municipality to board and dies, the county pay the cost of the buriaj at the same rate as at the County Home. The motion was tabled for the present. The following motions were pre­ sented and referred to the appropri­ ate committees: that grant of $200 be given the Blue Water Highway; that grant of $30 0 be given Salva­ tion Army; that a grant of $25 be made to each district Women’s In­ stitute"; that grants of $700 each be given to hospitals at Wingham, Sea­ forth, Goderich and Clinton; that $25 be granted for upkeep of flow­ er beds at Court House; that grant of $25 be made to the Hospital for Sick Children; that grant of $25 be made to the War Memorial Hos­ pital; that grant of $5 00 be made to agricultural representative and $3 0'0 to junior grants of fairs, and Council 10:0 0 o’clock Thursday morning. extension work; that $25 be made to school $15 to Lucknow fair, adjourned to meet School Inspector’s Report at in report- on Thurs- while the the urban re- J.

Wurtele, vice-president of the Goderich Salt Company, suggesting that in the program of rehabilita­ tion, the county council interest it­ self in making available to industry the land at the north side of the harbor- which might be a site for an industrial plant; or could be used for the storage of coal. The town council has suggested a road to the north side of the har­ bor. G. L.

He asked for the appoint­ ment of such a committee, and was assured by Warden Watson that this will be done.

In the matter of maintenance, our gravel surfaces have been somewhat neglected for a few years, and, if possible, some added maintenance is in order. • relieved to any ex­ general, as in the only the most ue- work will be done. Attitude Has Changed ‘‘The public demands and requires open county roads in winter and a few items of improvement may be found advisable in the matter of facilitating snow clearing. Until the Avar is over and adequate equipment is available, only a limited service in this line can be provided. The change in public sentiment over a period of years in connection with snowplowing js interesting. It is about 15 years since we first bought a snowplow and at that time, and for several years later, there was a great deal of opposition to the worx on the grounds that it was unneces­ sary and economically impossible. However, today the complaints we hear are of roads that have been blocked by snow. “There is a big variation in the amount of work that can be done in the matter of snow clearing. However, it would appear that after the war the county should secure about 10 additional snowplows so that more adequate service may be given. It has been pointed out pre­ viously that the monthly cost of maintaining open roads in winter is less than that prevailing for summer roads, so that the cost is not an in­ superable barrier, “We have never had more than a fraction of the snow fence war­ ranted on our roads and we have reached the stage that some of our oldei’ fence requires replacement, so that much snow fence should be ac­ quired.

Up to Christmas 1943, there were 156,00'0' bushels of turnips palled, aS compared with 59,000 last year. Of these, 55,000' bushels were waxed; 6 7,000 bushels sold plain, and 34,00'0' bushels de­ hydrated at Exeter, which will mean thousands of dollars to the farmers of Huron. The Live Stock Committee of the Ontario Agricultural Commission Inquiry will hold five meetings Ontario to consider what is best do to promote production. One these will be held at Clinton January 27. An inquiry by Reeve B. W.
