The reconstruction
towns and 75 per cent to villages. • A lively debate followed the read-
As there are no roads being main
tained by the county in .any of the
towns and villages, as there are
in • the townships, Mr. Trewartha
stated that it is felt in the urban
centres that they are paying too
much towards county roads.
The rates paid by the eight towns
and villages amounted to $13,908,
he said. Rebates received from the
county totaled $8,271. On the basis
of a 90 per cent rebate, as request
ed, ’they would receive $13,147, or
an increase of $4,876.
On motion of Reeves R. J. Bow
man and R. E. Shaddick the re
quest was ^referred to the county
road commission.
135,000 Trees Distributed!
Mr. Marritt, district forester,
stated that a total of 135,000 trees
had been distributed and he com
menced County Clerk N. W. Miller
for this work. A large area has still
to be planted. He emphasized the
importance of education of school
pupils in forestry, under the super
vision of school inspectors.
R. 6. Staples, inspector of public
schools in South Huron, informed
the council that there had been 30
teachers’ resignations in the in
spectorate, nine of which were
from married women. Sixteen have
secured positions in city schools.
Soon, he predicted, township
school areas will provide‘conditions
equal to those which are attracting teachers elsewhere, as they will,
provide facilities for teaching home
economics, visual education, dental
care, transportation of pupils, and
improved accommodation and equip
ment. “Great things are stirring In
elementary and secondary education,
and county councilors can hasten
the day when each child may be
given equal opportunity,” n"e stated.
Sees Tliree-year Shortage
inspector J. H. Kinkead of North
Huron said the enrollment is in
creasing in the schools there. He
felt there would be a shortage of
.teachers during the next three
years, pointing to the fact that only
80 students will graduate from
Stratford Normal School this year.
Noi'th Huron Will require 15 to fill
vacancies. He, too, spoke highly ot
the township school areas.

recently formed Huron County
Flying Club, composed of the presi
dent, ’Wilmot Haacke, George Feu-
gam and Hugh Hill, in support of a

the flying club when it is available
(It was leased to the government in
1940 at $1 a year as a patriotic ges
ture to the war effort, ana used as an elementary flying training school
under the Commonwealth Air
Training Plan.)In the discussion that followed,
the opinion was expressed that more
information should be received be
fore negotiating the leash, but the
cleric was assured by several mem
bers that the council was behind it.

ring the request to the Warden’s
committee.On the recommendation of the
* executive committee, Huron County

thorized a grant of $25,000 to Clin
ton Public Hospital toward the

mittee was carried, ‘after -an amend
ment introduced by Reeve C. Att
ridge and J. F. Daly, of Seaforth,
that the county rebate be a flat 75
per cent., the same as tlig present rate to villages, was lost^on divi
sion, 12 to 15.

In recent years, Canadian farmers have overcome a multitude of difficulties.
Despite labour shortages, storm and weather hazards, they have Con
sistently increased production, and harvested the record crops so vital
to a nation at war.
They have been handicapped, by lack of proper distribution’ facilities, in
getting produce to market, farm-fresh. Many who realize the time and
labour a General Motors truck would save, look forward hopefully to the
time when they are again available.
That time is coming
The time when Victory signals a General Motors change-over from war
to peace production ... the time when all the experience, engineering
skill and productive power now being used by General Motors to fashion
tough, durable armoured vehicles, will be directed towardsthe production
of sturdy, General Motors trucks — dependable,] great-hearted trucks
that will mean less work and worry, more leisure and prosperity for
farmers and producers everywhere.
