Kinley.
Health Unit Urges
Whooping Cough Tests
Dr. R. M. Aldis, director of
the Huron County Health Unit,
urged immunization against
whooping cough at an early age.
Three out of four deaths from
whooping cough, he said, are of
infants under one year old,
At Exeter High School 128
students were tuberculin-inspected
by the unit and 126 at Gode
rich. Nineteen were found to be
positive and were referred to the
Chest Clinic, t
Dairies More Efficient
Fourteen out of 15 pasteuriza
tion plants in the county have
been approved by the Depart
ment of Health. Increased effi
ciency in the operation of dairies
was reported.
A brucellosis survey among
milk producers was started in
October and if the results show
a high incidence of infection, the
unit .plans to do a survey of the
milk producers shipping to the
creameries and condensaries.
Three operators of slaughter
houses were not co-operating
with the unit efforts for better
sanitation. The rest were all co
operative.
All the pupils in 182 element
ary schools were examined for
infectious conditions.
Home Filled
The County Home committee
reported the home has been
filled to capacity for some time,
Thirty storm windows and
screens were installed, costing
$600; a fire extinguisher and
asbestos blanket purchased.
Buy 1,073 Acres
For Reforestation
The purchase of 1,073 acres
of land for reforestation at a
cost of $13,250 was authorized
by by-law at the final session of
the council.
A motion of the June session
was rescinded and council re
fused to pay school taxes on re
forestation properties.
1 The properties are turned over
to the government for fifty
years and are .planted and main
tained by the province.
Warden Johnston stated it
had cost $4,000 for work al
ready done. He wondered how
much it would cost to get the
lots back again at the end of
50 years,
“Would it not do townships a
lot more good to have five-acre
lots in the township reforestat-
ed?-” he asked. He felt it would
be bettei* to pay the farmer who
would own it at the end of 50
years and the county would not
have any bills to pay.
Lands Bought
By-laws were passed confirm
ing the purchase of the follow
ing lands for reforestation: 127
acres in Col borne Township from
from G. C. Feagan, $1,000; 150
acres from Reg McGee, Colborne
for $2,300; 50 acres, Norman
O’Oonnor, Ashfield, $1,000; 48
acres, Margaret Moulden, Col
borne, $400; 1001 acres, Laura
Stingel, Colborne, $1,200; 98
acres, John E. Rodger, East
Wawanosh, $1,500; 100 acres,
James Collins, Grey Township;
100 acres, Paul Adams, Howick,
$1,350; 100 acres, Fred Taylor,
Gray, $1,500; 200 acres, James
Stephenson, Morris, $3,000.
A by-law was passed amend
ing the tree cutting by-law de
creasing the maximum of trees
by two inches, instead of 12 and
14 to 14 and 16.
Victoria Hospital
Asks For Grant
A request from Victoria Hos
pital, London, for assitanee to
cover the deficit sustained by it
through the rare of indigent pa
tients launched a debate in Hur
on County Council on Wednes
day.
The executive committee’s Re
commendation that the request
be investigated by the clerk and
his findings reported at the Jan
uary session was endorsed.
Clerk N. W. Miller explained
that the hospital is asking for
the difference in the amount re
ceived and the actual cost per
patient a day, the County pays
$3.60 a day, the province $1,76;
and the hospital claims the ac
tual cost is $8.35.
It was pointed out by the
clerk that the county is paying
for 23 Indigent patients who,
having exceeded the 90-day lim
it are not paid far by their muni-
cipalites.
Deputy Reeve Elliot of Gode
rich, read a detailed report on
Alexandra Marine and General
Hospital at Goderich. <
“We should be thankful we
live in a country where we look,
after our sick,” declared Reeve
Everett Finnigan, West Wawa-
nosh. “Hospital charges are high
but no higher than for indigents.
We should be glad to assist
rather than pinch down. They
are Huron County people, and it
is one place where the county
can help urban and rural muni
cipalities.”
Hensall Reeve Asks
More Money For Books
The county library committee
reported that the Huron County
Library Co - Operative Board, as
constituted in January, consists
of the following: Alvin Kerslake,
chairman; Hugh Wilson, secre
tary; A, H. Erskine, treasurer;
Warden Cecil Johnston, E, H.
Strong, Earl Elliott, Thomas
Bryde, M.P.P., Harvey Johnston,
and W. A. Galbraith,
A recommendation of the com
mittee, that the. County Council
consider increasing the $4,000
grant to the library co-operative
to equal the provincial grant of
$5,100, was endorsed.
Reeve Kerslake sAid books had
increased in .price, the number
of libraries has increased, there
fore more books are needed,
Mrs. A, G- Eckmier, the librar
ian was highly commended in
the report.
Advocates Catalogueiug Relics
Reeve A, J. Sweitzer advocat
ed catalogueing relics in Huron
county musem, which was re
cently moved into the Goderich
Central School.
“Unless the history is with
the collection, it is just so much
junk,” Reeve Sweitzer declared.
He suggested that written notes
on the historical significance of
the relics would increase their
value and be more interesting to
the public.
The Goderich school has been
leased by the county at a $1. a
year for The musem. The cura
tor, Mr. Neill, with the collec
tion purchased from him, was
moved in Oct. 4.
The trailers which formerly
housed the collection were sold
by auction for $505. Mr. Neil
anticipated the collection will
not be ready for public inspec
tion until June or July of 1951.
Engineer Needs
Road Equipment
Much of the l<950 road pro
gram is unfinished, the county
Road Commission of Huron Cou
nty Council reported. Completed
work includes eight miles of bit
uminous pavement, 8.4 miles of
heavy grading with gravel base
13 miles of light grading, four
bridges, five culverts, concrete,
4,387 lineal feet of pipe culverts
15 miles of bituminous renforc-'
ed with new top, many small
construction jobs and all regu
lar maintenance work, »
■Present requirements indicate
consideration will be given to
the purchase of trucks for re
placement, of loading equipment
to suplement the shovel and a
large tank truck for asphalt.
Expenditures amounted to
$367,407.19 at the end of Oct.
The Road commission request
ed county council to purchase
new equipment to facilitate work
on the county roads.
Theix' report stated “Present
requirements indicate that con
sideration should be given to the
purchase of truck for replacem
ent, of loading equipment to
supplement our shovel, and or
a large tank truck for asphalt.
"New equipment bought this
year,” said the report, “was
limited to two half-ton pick-ups.”
“Total expenditures for the
year, while less than the appro
priation by law, will be greater
than the amounts covered by the
three mill levy, so it will be ne
cessary to dip into the surplus.”
Much of the road-building
program scheduled fob this year
will be unfinished, the engineer
said.
“It was expected in the spring
that the total program of work
outline for 1950, would not be
completed, and ‘the rainy wea
ther of the past summer cause
more delay in operations.”
Children's Aid Society Reports
Mrs. M. Chaifee, superintend
ent of the Children’s /kid So
ciety, stated in her report that
“more and more do we see that
it is not problem children but
rather problem parents that are
the root of all difficulties.”
She reported three child pro
tection eases: 627 visits; 526
office interviews; and 10 court
attendances. There are 120 child
ren in care. There were 17 com
pleted adoptions; 12 new cases
in unmarried parent work.

presented with a clock at the
wardens banquet in the ^British
Exchange Hotel, Thursday night.
The address was read by Reeve
R. B, Cousins, of Brussels, and

McLean, M.P.; Dr. J. W. Shaw;

Two girls, walking home to
gether, were discussing their cur
rent heart interests.

Isabel, how could I like him?
He’s so deceitful, pretending to
believe me when he knows I’m
lying to him I”

Sonny climbed out of his high chair into a
partnership with his dad. Before he started to
school, he was hunting eggs and tending a
couple of runt pigs. Now he’s feeding a baby
beef of his own. Of course, dad still does the
muscle work around the place, but both of them
are living for the day when they’ll farm together.
Even John Deere power equipment doesn’t
make farming child’s play, but it saves time and
energy that farmers can spend shaping the
character and guiding the development oftheir
youngsters. No wonder so many farm boys are
growing up with warm spots in their hearts for
the land, They are learning first-hand that farm
ing is ope of the most challenging of all occupa
tions , . . discovering that the farm offers op
portunities for profit and a satisfying way of
life that few jobs in the city can match.
Like thousands of other farm boys, this
youngster is developing the initiative and self-
reliance of a grown-up long before he is big
enough to.fill his dad’s shoes. These qualities
will help him to become a successful farmer, a
community leader—a good American! In such
hands the future of our agriculture and our
nation will be secure.
