KEEP THEM INTERESTED
The Town League Baseball League*
will serve a most useful purpose in
our community. Baseball is a good
clean game and one that requires
considerable practice, if one is to be
come proficient. When the boys of
the town are practicing or playing
this game they are spending their
time in the open and getting exercise
that will build up their bodies. Many
feel that this is time waste but is it?
When the boys are thx'owing the ball
around they are occupied and this is
much better than having them sit
around wondering what to do next.
The development of young players
is also something that has been sadly
lacking here for some time. We have
a good team this year and prospects
for this year are very bright and this
should be an incentive for the young
er players. The only way to keep a
sport club going year after year is
keep on developing players. The
town league should serve a most use
ful purpose in this respect so that
when the old fellows want to retire,
or slowdown, somebody is ready to
step into their shoes.
We hope the fans take in these
town league games and watch the de
velopment of these lads and thus as
sist in keeping them interested.

WHAT NOW?
During the past few days and
ing this month thousands have or will
graduated from our Universities.
There is no quarrel with our seats
of learning in that they give to our
youth an education that is worth
while. But what are these thousands
to do now that they are ready to take
their place in the business affairs of
our country.
Unemployment presents a problem
that is most difficult for our govern
ments to cope with but the problem
•of finding suitable positions for our
educated youth is very acute.
We have great faith in the young
people of this country but a trained
mind with little or nothing to do is
very liable to become crowded with
bitterness and ideas that are far re
moved from our present day idea of
things.
Year after year our colleges and
universities are sending forth the
cream of youth—to what—that is the
question — one that should receive
the most careful attention of
powers that be.

MUST BE CORRECTED
In reading our exchange weeklies
this last week we were alarmed at
the amount of petty thieving that is
carried on over a large portion of this
■district. It has been said that we are
■drifting that the people especially
the younger ones, are not of the same
calibre as that of our forefathers. We
wonder if this can be so. We doubt
it very much*
The trouble as we see it is that our
young people are experiencing great
difficulty in obtaining employment
and mischief always finds something
for idle hands to do.
These idle hands must be put to
some useful purpose if we are to raise i
otir young people to be the proper •
kind of citizens when they reach ma- j
iure ages. Old and young are finding i
it a great task to be permanently em- •
ployed and until this condition is cor- :
rected we cannot prosper or expect a t ,
great deal from those who have very 000; municipal government $6,300;

COUNTY TAX RATE
IS AGAIN 5% MILLS
Estimated Deficit is $7,528.77
Warden 'Bowman, in his address at
the opening session of Huron County
Council on Tuesday afternoon of last
week, said that the debt last January
was $46,804 and it is estimated it will
be reduced to $7,508. He recommend
ed that the mill rate of 534 mills be
maintained. He considered a 5-mill
rate would not be good business He
would like to see the rate on county
roads increased,
Mr. Bowman expressed his thanks
to the members for the support giv
en him, and for the co-operation ex
tended by the clerk and treasurer.

In submitting the estimates for
1936, Treasurer A. H. Erskine show
ed increases in hospitals of $780; old

es, $4,500; equipment $1,800. Deduc
tions are shown in the report in
schools $1,300; administration of jus
tice, $300; county home, $3,400; Child
ren’s Aid $600; postage $400; county
property, $1300; registry office $600,
The deductions practically offset in
creases and with care the deficit may
be reduced before the close of the
next year, Mr. Erskine said,
The following estimates were
mitted:

Meals that are low in “bulk” are
a common failing of the average
American diet, Frequently, these
meals result in irregular habits.
Constipation due to insufficient
“bulk” is often a consequence. This
condition causes discomfort, and
may lead to headaches and loss of
appetite. Even serious disease may
develop.
Banish the danger of a diet low
in “bulk” by eating Kellogg’s All
Bran regularly. This delicious
cereal is an abundant source of
gentle “bulk.”
Within the body, it absorbs mois
ture and forms a soft inass, which
exercises and strengthens intes
tinal muscles, and cleanses the
system- All-Bran also furnishes
vitamin B and contains iron.
Two tablespoonfuls daily, with
milk or cream, are usually suffi
cient. If not relieved this way, con
sult your doctor.
How much pleasanter to enjoy
this natural food in place of pills
and drugs. Serve All-Bran either
as a cereal, or cooked into muffins,
breads, etc. Eat it regularly for
regular habits. '
■ All-Bran is sold by all grocers.
Made by Kellogg in London, Ont.

Warned Against Corn Borer
Ross Johnston, Corn Borer Inspec
tor, said he found more stubble this
year that ever before and there was
more corn borer due to the amount
of stubble and stalks left in the fields
On motion of Reeves Eckert and
Geiger, Mr. Johnston was instructed
to have his work completed by June
11th.
Thirty-nine persons were commit
ted to the County gaol in past six
months: 10 for theft, 8 vagrancy, 6
L. C.A., 4 breaking and entering, 2
breaking parole, 2 fraud, 2 car theft,
2 forgery, 1 disorderly conduct, 1 at
tempted suicide, 1 incorrigible. There
are at present seven prisoners in cus
tody i and cost of daily rations per
prisoner, lOjc.
Much valuable information regard
ing municipal government and means
for the expeditious handling of the
business of the sessions were embod
ied in the report of county clerk, J.
M. Roberts.
Comparisons between the first five
months of the current year as against
the year 1935 show an increase of
$56b in payments made to Old Age
Pension Commission, and of $2,237.00
in Mother’s Allowance, the latter due
to allowances paid to mothers with
one child.
Mr Roberts said: “The tendency in
respect to patients in sanatoriums
who are paid for by the county is up
wards. Each, new patient in a sana
torium .means an increase in county
costs at the rate of $550.00 a year, and
each patient on the average stays in
hospital for several years. I would
therefore respectfully suggest that
care be taken in authorizing the entry
. of sanatorium patients as county
charges.
A saving of 11 tons of coal was
achieved' in the past winter over the
previous one—96 tons in 1934-5 and
85 in 1935-6.
Suggests Hanging Warden’s Pictures

come a picture gallery of Huron
County Wardens was launched when
council endorsed the motion of Reev
es Sherwood and P. W« Siott that
council take steps to ascertain the
cost of securing a suitably framed
crayon portrait of alt ex-wardens of
the county with the view of follow
ing the example of many other coun
ties.
Motions Passed

an indigent whose death occurs in the
hospital, that the county also pay a

side of the hospital, the focal mun-
clpality to bear any additional cost,
that a bylaw to this effect be passed
by Council.—Legislative Committee.

Wednesday Session
Charles Asquith, of the vilage of
Blytli, appeared before council Wed
nesday with an appeal in respect to
the grave., of “Tiger” Dunlop, which
is situated on Dunlop Hill. Mr. As
quith stated in his history of Dr.
Dunlop that he was the first builder
of a highway, first builder of a cot
tage, first war veteran, first settler,
first farmer and first warden appoint
ed by the government in 1827. He
asked council to consider the main-
tenace of this grave.
J. M. Govenlock, inspector of the
County Home, addressed council
briefly. He reported three deaths,
four who had absconded and one was
let out since the first of the year. Ev
erything was in good condition.
