Council Council met on the afternoon of Sept. 13th, in the Township Hall, Elimville with Councillors Simpson, Tuckey, Ellerington and Brqck present, and Reeve Berry presiding. Minutes of the last regular meet­ ing of August 9 th, and special meetings held on August 19th and September 4th respectively, were printed on motion Tuckey and Simpson. S- W. Archibald, Township gineer, attended the meeting his reconsidered report on Elimville Drain was read, and ■cussed with the interested parties present. Messrs. James Heywood and Stanley Coward expressed themselves as being dissatisfied with the report; Mr. Archibald ad­ vised them that he considered the assessment to be fairly apportioned but that they could appeal to the Court of Revision on the Report to be held at a later date. The Elim­ ville Drain Report of June 13th, 1947 and reconsidered August 13th, 1947, by S. W. Archibald, Engineer, was provisionally adopted on mo­ tion of Councillors Ellerington and. Brock, with the Court of Revision to be held on December 16th, 1947, at the houi’ of three p.m. Progress to date on the Cann- Mitchell and Wurm Drains was dis­ cussed. C. P. Dietrich, contractor on the open portions reported that the Cann-Mitchell Drain was vir­ tually completed and that he would proceed with his contract on the Wurm Drain at an early date. En­ gineer Archibald tabled a progress repo-rt on the Cann-Mitchell Drain which he had inspected in the morning, and authorized the pay­ ment of $2,500 to C. P. Dietrich for work completed to date with a hold back of $308.75. On the ad­ vice of the Engineer it was agreed that the - assessment for these two Drains would not be levied in the 19 47 Tax Roll as it appeared that the tile portions would not be com­ pleted this year and therefore the final cost unknown. The Clerk re­ ported that he had been in contact with C. Morkin of Lucan, Tiling Machine operator, and that Mr. Morkin after looking over the pro- August 14th, ail adopted as of Councillors En- and the dis- files and the ground on the tile portions had submitted a price of 25 cents a foot, but that he would not consided attempting the large tile on either drain where they were to be placed in the bottom of the open ditch; neither would he install the catch basins required; and that granted favorable weather condi­ tions, he would attempt to com­ plete the rest of the work tills fall. The Clerk further reported that he had been in touch with Messrs. Wurm and Selves and that they were agreed that Mr. Morkin’a price was too high, in the light of the fact that Mr, Frank Kirkby of Walton had submitted a price of ten cents a foot for the same work for next year. The Council and Messrs, Mitchell, Beckler 'and Rey­ nolds, who were present at the meeting also agreed that Mr. Mor- kin’s price was too high. It was agreed that Mr. Kirkby should be asked to do the work as soon as possible next Spring. In regard to the tiling of the open portions En­ gineer Archibald maintained that his estimate of the work was a reasonable one and that the work could not be satisfactorily done by any method other than hand labor, and that he would not agree to have those portions of the drain excav­ ated by power shovel at an increas­ ed cost, as had been proposed; he offered to set up the necessary site bars and lay out the work in a prop­ er manner if hand diggers could possibly be found. E, W. Mitchell finally agreed to install the 1900 feet of fourteen incji tile on his farm, one of the portions under discussion, at a price of twenty cents per foot, and he was given the contract so to do, on motion of Tuckey and Ellerington, Council brought the mattex’ of the unsatisfactory condition of Stewart Drain to the further tention of the Engineer as per W. Gardiner’s recent letter. Archibald agreed to investigate trouble at an early date. A Court of Revision on the sessment of The Centralia Drain Extension from Stephen Township was held. >No appeals were ed to the Court and it was closed, the Report finally in Usborne Township and Law No. 7-1947 known Centralia Di’ain Extension was finally passed and brought into effect by resolution of Council on motion of Councillors Brock and Simpson. The matter ship’s share of Extension cost it was agreed being now due that the full of $1289.00 be forwarded phen Township.

However, in that year Canada ship­ ped over 2,000,,000 feet and has been increasing her shipments in each succeeding year. It is estimat­ ed that as soon as other construc­ tion materials become freely avail­ able, imports of lumber should rise to 25,000,000 board feet annually. Of this figure Canada should supply at least 50 per cent, providing a reasonable amount of advertising and promotion is undertaken to combat the erroneous belief, tradi­ tional in Jamaica, that southern pitch pine is superior to,Canadian woods in resisting the inroads of the termite family. Canadian red cedar shingles are now the only imported shingles on the Jamaican market having com­ pletely replaced the more expensive and unobtainable American cypress shingle. There is no prospect of the cypress shingle becoming available again in the near future, and local production of handmade cedar shingles is so small that they tire not a significant factor. Shingles which were formerly imported al­ most exclusively in a 6-inch width are now being accepted in random widths, and the local trade appears to have become accustomed to using the varied widths. In 1946, there were 6,980,080 shingles imported from Canada, as against 2,728,750 in 1945 and 1,326,295 in 1939, The members of Exeter Junior Grain Club completed their pro­ ject for the year, when they exhib­ ited theii’ grain entries at Exeter Fall Fair.

Mature Workers Far from being “washed up’’ m middle age, Canada’s workers over 45 years of age are the best bet of all to industry. This is the finding of surveys conducted by authori­ ties from coast to coast, and dis­ proves the common belief that tlie older worker is at a disadvantage. Actually, surveys indicate that the older worker is less likely to be addicted to unnecessary absen­ teeism. ity and pride in his work, and Is far less prone to accident than the younger job.
