UNITED CHURCH
S. SCHOOL HELD
ANNUAL MEETING
Excellent Address Delivered by Rev.
C. Daniels of Palmerston.
DURHAM PLAY
HERE FRIDAY
Kincardine Play Here Next Monday.
The anni’al meeting on Monday
night of the Wingham United Church
Sunday School took the'form of a
supper meeting, and was served by
the ladies of the W,M.$, It was a
hot fowl dinner.
Following the sumptuous repast an
address of inspiration was delivered
by Rev. Chas. Daniels, guest speaker,
of Palmerston, and. whose remarks
centred around knowledge. The vis
ion we should have is “Everybody in
the community in the Sunday School,
everybody in the Sunday School in
Christ, every Christian in service.”
His advice to each teacher was, know
your job, know* your pupils, know
your materials, know how to teach,
know thyself, and the most important
of all you must know God, as inter
preted by Jesus Christ, because you
can only lead as close as you have
gone yourself, and summed up in the
following poem a teacher’s need:
“Lord, who am 1 to show the way,
To other people day on day—
So prone myself to go astray?
I speak of knowledge, but I know
How faint it flickers and how slow
The candles of my knowledge glow.
I speak of power to will and do,
But only learn to ask anew
My own great weakness through and
through.
I speak of love for all mankind,
And 'all God’s creatures, but I find .
My love comes lagging far behind,
Lord, if ’tis mine their guide to be,
Pray grant that every stduent see
My learning, leaning hand on Thee.

SOUTH KINLOSS
MINISTERINDUCTED
Rev. Q. M. Young, New Minister o£
Kjnloss Presbyterian Church.
Hon. David Croll, Ontario Minis
ter of Welfare and Municipal Affairs
last week announced that the Govern
ment had decided to bear the entire
cost of Mothers’ Allowances and take
over the municipal share of old age
pensions. He also said that the Gov
ernment would retain all revenues
from provincial income tax.
Huron County last year paid $18,-
500 for Mothers’ Allowances and $17,-
000 for Old Age Pensions, a total of
$35,500, which is equal to about 1
mill. The county rate last year was
5% mills,■> of which it took about 1
mill to pay the county share of Mo
thers’ Allowances and old age pen
sions. If the Government does not
change this decision the county rate
should drop about 1 mill. The coun
ty rate was made up as follows last
year, general county rate 3.35 mills,
highway rate 1.2 mills, provincial
highway rate .95 mills, a total of 5%
mills. We understand that the pro-,
vincial highway account was closed
in 1936, so it would appear that the
county rate will take a big flop this
year.
Taking into consideration only the
1 mill which will be saved from Mo
thers’ Allowances and Old Age Pen
sions ($35,000), it will mean Wing
ham will pay in county rate about
$885 less. They will lose $225 from
income tax but will have a net gain
of about $660 or well over Vz mill
on the town rate.
It is estimated the cost of this new
social welfare policy will be about
$3,000,000. Government income tax
disbursed to municipalities in 1936
amounted to $2,248,000.
Toronto, London, Ottawa, Brock-
ville and other cities claim they will
lose by this action which is effective
a’s from an. 1st, Toronto $468,000;
London $20,000; Ottawa $25,000.
A team of horses, drawing a load
of hay ran away on the farm of Jim
Fallis, 11th of Turnberry on Monday
afternoon and Walter Simmonds, the
driver, who was thrown to the ground
suffered a fracture of his right ankle
and badly sprained the other.
Mr. Simmonds started with the load
of hay away from the Fallis barn to
his home in Lower Wingham. The
horses made a dash for liberty, just
missed the house. In their mad dash
the load of hay and the box slide off
the wagon and Mr. Simmonds landed
on the frozen ground, feet first, in a
four feet ditch with the above
suits, The horses came to a stop
top of pile of wood.
Dr, McKibbon was called and
duced the fracture.

MAGISTRATE RULES
L.C.A. IN FORCE
Magistrate J. A. Makins at Goder
ich. overruled objection of Frank Don-
iicllcyj def«'tiC£ for <1 niciti
charged under the L.C.A., when he
stated* after hearing argument, “I will
have to find that the Liquor Control
Act is in force in Huron County.”
Murdock McLeod, of Clinton, was
charged with unlawfully keeping li
quor in other than the place in which
he resides.
The supreme court of Canada in
1935 held the C.T.A. was in force in
the counties of Huron, Perth and
Peel. An appeal to the privy council
was decided on by the Ontario gov*
ernment. Last November, however, it
was decided to drop proceedings.
Premier Hepburn declared discontih*
nance of the appeal did not affect the
main issue, "whether the province or
the Dominion had the right to enforce
the liquor laws.”
