Guelph Street COUNTY COUNCIL JUNE SESSION (Continued From Page Two) Spector, reported the home in first class condition, and assured Reeve Turner, Goderich, that adequate fire protection has been provided. Money .collected from estates amounting to $9,000 or $10,000 is being made use of, the Warden assured Reeve Cardiff, who considered it poor business on the county’s part not to use it and save 5^ or 6 per cent. Ex-Warden George Elliott, Clinton, who was present, was asked to speak, and gave a brief address. Thursday Session The presentation of an enlarged sketched portrait of Dr. William (Tiger) Dunlop, first warden of Hur­ on county, by A. A. Asquith of Au­ burn to the county council oof Huron, and other items of historical value, featured the morning session of coun­ cil on Thursday. Mr. Asquitp told of interviewing Col. F. L. Ford in Toronto, author of a biography of Dr. Dunlop, who On Guaranteed Trust Certificates A legal investment for Trust Funds Unconditionally Guaranteed TH! STERLING TRUSTS CORPORATION STERLING TOWER TORONTO expressed surprise that there was no portrait of the famous legislator in Goderich, and said a fine oil paint­ ing is possessed by Stratford and is hanging in the library of that city, reproduced from one in the Academy of Medicine in Toronto, The appreciation of Huron was voiced by Warden Eckert to Mr. As­ quith for the gift which will be suit­ ably framed and hung in the county building. Roy Patterson, county engineer, who had been commissioned at the January session to make an examin­ ation of Dr. Dunlop’s tomb and sur­ rounding lands in colborne township with a view to improving same, said the proper improvement of this his­ toric spot will be affected by any change in the location of highway No. 21, which may.reassume the road usdd by the travelers of Dr. Dunlop’s time. If this be the case, access to the plot will be improved. Mr. Patterson had persuaded H. J. Moore, who is interested in the work of beautifying the roads, the construe- tion of picnic and parking grounds and in the preservation of points of interest, tinder the Department of Highways, to look over the site. Mr. Moore had suggested the con­ struction of a superstructure above 'the cairn. Mr. Moore had kindly of­ fered to make a sketch showing shrub­ bery, grass plots, paths ,etc„ that will offer a suitable design. He believed that an expenditure of tw'o or three thousand dollars will create an im­ provement that will be appropriate. “Part of the original house occu­ pied by Dr. Dunlop is still in exist­ ence, and there is enough to permit of restoring it, if found desirable. George Laithwaite, invited to speak, said he wasn’t so interested in Dr. Dunlop's tomb as in a memorial to the thousands of pioneers of the coun­ ty. He urged that a pioneer log house be found and moved to a suit­ able site which Mr. Laithwaite was ♦ TELEPHONE TALKS .IN THE WATSON FAMILY i i I it Rates begin every evening i and »pply ALL day Sunday!

Report of Children’s Aid H. E, Edwards, superintendent of the Children’s Aid Society, gave a resume of the year ending in March. He said it was only in rare cases that children are made wards of the coun­ ty where homes are unsatisfactory. All efforts are bent to making homes suitable and in making the father and mother realize the sacred responsibil­ ity which is theirs. ’ There were 193 visits made in homes throughout the county during the year; had 209 office interviews and 13 court attendances, Forty-one new complaints were handled during the year, On March 31st there were 67 children under the'care of the soc­ iety, These are placed as follows: Shelter 6, boarding homes „3, adop­ tion probation 8, wage homes 4, free homes 24, non-wards 2, wards of oth­ er societies placed in Huron county, 20. There are at present seven child­ ren in the Shelter, Invited to Reunion Mayor H. J. A. MacEwan invited the members of the council to return to Goderich for the celebration of Old Home Week beginning August 1. Dr. W..F. Gallow addressed coun­ cil on the same subject. The Finance Committee asked that an explanation be given by the Pro­ perty Committee on whose authority a perforator costing $45 was purchas­ ed for the Registry Office. The ma­ chine had been ordered by Col. Den­ nison, Inspector of Legal Offices. “Col. Denison is taking things too high-handed and it should be brought to the notice of Queen’s Park. He should have consulted the Property Committee before making the purch­ ase,” said Reeve McNall of Blyth. No action was taken in providing offices-for the magistrate, the super­ intendent of the Children’s Aid and for witnesses, which would necessi­ tate moving the lavatories to the base­ men,t. The changes were ordered by Colonel Denison who threatened to cut off the county’s share of fines if this was not done. Later in the afternoon, council pass­ ed a motion sponsored by Reeves McNall and Armstrong, that in fut­ ure any purchases made for this coun­ ty be made by the committee respon­ sible for such purchases or they at least be first consultel and that the various departments at Toronto be notified. Deal With Indigents Indigent patients in hospital must have 90 days’ continuous treatment before the county will assume full cost. Municipalities owing hospital bills are advised to pay as soon as possible, as the municipality is liable if it does not notify the clerk within 20 days. A grant of $15 was voted to J. M. Game, public school inspector Walkerton, for the transportation exhibits in art of the pupils of schools in Huron, to the Toronto. Council concurred with tion from the county , of no public school be closed without the consent of 55 per cent, of the ratepayers within the section; and if the school has been closed that'it may be re-opened upon the request of 55 per cent, of the ratepayers. Reeve Grain favored the resolution as an advantage to young or delicate children. . Council concurred with the resolu­ tion of Perth regarding the opening and closing hours of beverage rooms; and deckled to take no action in the Wentworth County resolution seeking substantial reductions in licenses for light motor trucks of producers. Council decided to delay action on the rest of the Bell. Telephone Go. for the passing of a bylaw covering existing and future tree planting and pole moving, several members ex­ pressing strong objection to the mun­ icipality paying any share of pole moving. , A new flag and new furnace grates for the court house will be purchased. The date for the annual county pic­ nic was set for July 22nd.

My hands and feet were the worst affected. I was unable to walk without a cane. I read so much about Kruschen, I decided to try it. I was three months before I felt any better, but I kept on and since then have been fine and never used the cane. My hands were all out of shape, but they are almost normal *now. Of course I could not expect to get better all at once, as I had suffered for 15 years before I started on Kruschen.”—(Miss) A.L. ’ Rheumatism is frequently caused by an excess of uric acid in the blood. If you could see how Kruschen dulls these uric acid deposits, then dissolv­ es them away altogether, you would agree that the Kruschen treatment should bring relief in cases of rheu­ matism.

County Road Commission The County Roads Commission re­ ported: The continuous rains of January caused, the roads of the county to become saturated with water, which later froze. The long, cold spring de­ layed the melting of this ice and kept the roads in a soft condition, which resulted in a great deal of damage, and many sections of road were im­ passable for traffic for a time. A considerable mileage of the sys­ tem has been examined and at pres­ ent the roads are in good condition for dry weather traffic. Inspection I shows that much work is needed in replacing bridges and culverts, in draining and grading and other works of a permanent character, but it is felt that the most service to the. traffic can be given, with the limited funds in prospect, by devoting more to the supply of dust palliatives and provid­ ing all weather tops on our main roads by constructing low cost bitum­ inous surfaces.—Carried. Your commission has examined the requested additions to the county road system, and we recommend that the road from Saltford via Benmiller to Londesboro; the road between county road No. 32, easterly to Perth County, be assumed.-—Carried, On March 17, Mr. Snell, one of our ■workmen, suffered a severe accident, from which he is recovering. Some time later we were advised by the aud­ itor of the Department of Highways, that no subsidy would be paid on com­ pensation for this accident, or others, as had been the case in former years. We were advised that coverage must be taken with the Workmen’s Com­ pensation Board, and if application for such coverage was refused, that subsidy would be paid on a premium paid to an insurance company carry­ ing the risk. Several accident claims have been referred to the company carrying our liability insurance, and settlement was made by them. A horse, owned by Mr. Shepherd of the Base Line', Hullett, was lost in a flood, and the company could see no liability on the part of the county. Mr. Shepherd ap­ pealed to your committee for furth­ er consideration, but in view of the fact that the insurance company, that is responsible for such payments, re­ fused to admit liability, we did not feel warranted in making any pay­ ment. Estimated Receipts: Levy—1.7 mills $75,260.99; sundry receipts, $500; traf­ fic fines, $500; subsidy, $65,000; total $141,260.99. • Estimated expenditures, $141,260. Regarding road liability insurance, three tenders have been received, and we recommend that the lowest tend­ er, that of Thos. H. Wilson, repre­ senting Lloyds of England, at a pre­ mium of $418.37 for $40,000 coverage, be accepted. Carried. Re motion of Messrs. Turner and Mogridge that insurance on traffic of­ ficer be considered, we recommend this insurance be considered and plac­ ed when such insurance of other em­ ployees is settled. Carried. Re motion of Messrs. Bryan and Grain, requesting the addition of rhe Turnberry-Howick townline south of Road No. 12, we recommend that your commission look over the road before making decision.

Propaganda That Defeats Itself If you believed all the propaganda you read, you would think of the Brewing Industry as the confessed and active foe of Temperance. How­ ever, the opposite is true. For although we are in business, the fact that we contribute materially to the economic welfare of this Province and Dominion, surely accords us in a British community the right to state our side of the case. The cause of True Temperance, or moderation, is the only conceivable policy for the brewers — and that for entirely obvious reasons. We share the same principal foe, the bootlegger —r the same objections to hole-and-corner consump­ tion—the same desire to foster respect for law and order. We submit, therefore, that the folly of trying to make people sober by law has been so clearly demonstrated already, thatmo sane person could wish to try that experiment again. We believe that a careful consideration of the facts will convince thinking people that much of the present propaganda against beverage rooms is definitely mischievous because, if successful, it would defeat the object of true temperance. For true temperance can never go hand-in-hand with a policy that assists the bootlegger I • This advertisement is inserted by the Brewing Industry in the interest of a better publie understand­ ing of certain aspects of the problems of temperance and local option.
