VanWyck and Thomson the street committee were instructed to secure further informa­ tion regarding the resurfacing main street and the estimated cost of same. A letter from County Engineer Roy Pattison notified Council that main street was now under the Department of Highways but that Victoria Street may be maintained under the county rebate or the rebate may be spent on any other streets in the town. As the town is overdrawn in this account by the amount of $500 it was decided by Council to leave the rebate with the County until this overdraft is wiped out. On motion of Councillors Craw­ ford and VanWyck a number of ac­ counts presented by the Finance Com­ mittee were passed. Coun. Thomson, reporting for the Street committee, said the streets were now in good shape.

Adams to be Arena. For the fire committee Wyck reported that the been installed in the hose tower and have screw attachments that can be tightened when necessary. Reeve Davidson said that the new fence has been painted at the cemet­ ery. The work of levelling two sec­ tions has been completed and that an­ other section is now ready for levell­ ing. If relief is given this fall, he suggested that the men could be used to carry on this work. Mayor Hanna reported that the Hy­ dro Commission are going to instal lights near their new building to brighten up that corner and he sug­ gested that a light be installed on John St. west of Josephine as this is a very dark corner. Moved by Reeve Davidson and Coun. Thomson that light be installed on the first post lyest of Josephine St. on John St. Carried.

HUGGARD GIVEN THREE YEARS IN PEN Judge Commended Him on Giving Assistance to the Crown. Pleaded Guilty to Theft of Bonds and Securities Worth $150,000. John J. Huggard, 36-year-old Sea­ forth lawyer, Saturday morning at Goderich, pleaded guilty to a charge of tlieft of bonds and securities to the value of $150,000 from safety deposit boxes in his office, where he also op­ erated as a bond dealer, and was sen­ tenced to three years in Kingston penitentiary. Sentence was imposed by Judge T. M. Costello in county court, when Huggard elected speedy trial. Hug­ gard stood in the prisoner’s box with bowed head as the judge addressed him. “.I have lo commend you for the assistance you have given the crown,” said his honor, “and I know your counsel is right when he says you have been sufficiently punished right now. If it were not for the exemplary punishment demanded by society I would like to release you on suspend­ ed sentence. “It is a distasteful, to say the least, to sentence a man like you, but a man in my position cannot shirk his duty, cannot be swayed. I must use my own judgment. I hope I am not making a mistake in the sentence I am imposing on you.” “I sentence you to three years’ im­ prisonment, the sentence to date back to the time of your arrest,” ruled the judge. * “This case has been pointed to as one rather unique,” said Judge Cos­ tello, “and probably it is. Counsel has said it was not your intention to rob, originally not, perhaps, but you must have known you were not do­ ing the proper thing in starting out to take the securities. I believe coun­ sel was sincere when he said you had no .idea where your first defalcation was going to lead you. “Shortly after the first theft you were made more or less a victim of circumstances.” “I believe counsel was correct when he says you would like to assist those you have wronged. “I must impose sentence of three years.” Httggard’s appearance in court with only a handful of spectators present, lasted 65 minutes. His relief was ap­ parent as he squared his shoulders when sentence was imposed. The charges were outlined by Crown Attorney D. E. Holmes. “Do you wish to plead to these charges individually or as a whole?” Huggard was asked. “As a whole.” “And how do you plead?” “Guilty.” Miss Isabel Fox was a Galt visitor r a few days last week.

Miss Myra MacDonald then sang a delight­ ful solo “The Stranger of Galilee”. The guest speaker, Miss Martha Coutts, was introduced and gave an interesting account of her work in West China among women and girls. Since Christianity has become more general and especially since several great leaders have become Christians the misisonaries are welcomed and get a good hearing wherever they go. The training schools send out native wo­ men who go to the homes and reach great numbers in this way. Miss Coutts told of her experiences when the Communists came to the city in which she was in charge of a girls’ school and although she was not harmed many suffered greatly as the reds show no mercy. The nationalists want China for the Chinese, and think that Christianity is not necessary, that China can be saved by education, hygiene and in­ dustry, but the missionaries teach them that the grace of God and the full free Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ is the only rock on which to build. After Mrs. Currie thanked Miss Coutts for her kindness in coming to speak, Miss Louise Lloyd presented her With a large bouquet of gladioli. The meeting closed with repeating the benediction after which refresh­ ments were served.
