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. ,Tt the close of the addcss Rev.

GOVT. ACTION WILL'SAVE THE COUNTY MONEYi .____ Towns Will Also Benefit, Wingham to the Extent of $660. ' BROKE ONE ANKLE AND SPRAINED OTHER Walter Simmonds Thrown from Load of Hay when Team ran Away 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. re- on re- DR. J. H. BENNETT DEAD IN NELSON Nelson, B.C., Jan. 7 — Dr. J. H.
