An increase of more than 30 per
cent, from $710 to $2,449, is shown in
Huron County police court fines for
the first- six months of this year, as
compared with the same period in '36,
according to figures released recently.
Of this year’s total, $1,550 in fines
were imposed for offences under the
Liquor Control Act, as compared with
$345 last year. The increase is chief
ly attributable to the • activity ■ of the
reorganized county constabulary un
der High Constable McCoy.
So far this year, up to July 1, six
drunken drivers have been sent to
jail, compared with one a year ago.
Only six persons have been fined for
being drunk in six months in\Huron
County which, according to the fig
ures, is something of a record. There
were eight last year..
The figures are for Wingham, Sea
forth and Goderich Courts.

would be well advised to watch the
plants closely for the first appearance
of the cucumber beetle and take con
trol measures at once. The plants
should be dusted with a mixture of
Calcium arnsenate and gypsum (land
plaster), using one part of the cal
cium arsenae to 20 parts (by weight)
of the gypsum. If it is impossible
to obtain gypsum, hydrated lime may
be substituted, although this material,
is not so good. It tends to dwarf the
plants and temporarily stunts their
growth.
The plants should be thoroughly
covered with 'the dust, both on the up
per and lower surfaces of the leaves,
because the insects feed in both sit
uations. To be successful, dusting
should be commenced at the first ap
pearance of the beetles, for these in
sects work very fast and much dam
age is often done before the grower,
who is not on the lookout for them,
is aware of their presence, Three or
four applications a few days apart,
according to the severity of the at
tack, are usually sufficient to hold the
beetles in check. ,

TODAY’S WAY
There is a character in today's
school of Monument design that
sets modern Memorials apart from
the older, time-honored specimens.
There is more of simple, chaste
and hopeful loveliness in these
newer conceptions of what a Mon
ument should and can be. We
should be pleased to illustrate
these characteristics to anyone now
considering a Monument.
Band Blast where sand blast should
be used, Pneumatic tools used
where they should be used. Buy
your Memorials from the Wing
ham Memorial Shop, where you
get the better granites, the better
frolish and finish, the better class
of carving and lettering for less,
money, You can save all Outside

the high overhead expenses by

Cucumbers, melons, squash, pump
kins, and watermelons are the favor
ite food of the ^striped cucumber
beetle which is fo-Und in all provinces
of Canada. To some extent, these
beetles also feed on beans, peas, corn
and the bldssoms of wild and culti
vated plants. In appearance, the beet
les are’ about one-quarter of an inch
long, yellow in colour, with a black
he^d and three long stripes down the
back, and they make their attack
shortly after .the plants appear above
the soil. They feed for preference on
the underside of the unfolding leaves,
completely destroying them. As a re
sult, the tiny plants die quickly..
Growers with large patches, states
the Division of Field crop and Garden
Insects of the Entomological Branch,
As surely as the warm summer and
the early autumn months roll around
the health of Canadian babies will be
menaced by a condition commonly
called summer diarrhoea. Happily
this complaint is not as prevalent as
it was in the recent past, but R’s
a very serious disease among infants
in the first year of life. Eight years
ago several hundred babies in the pro
vince of Ontario alone died in one
year of this apparently simple trouble.
All evidence of loose stools in an in
fant who may appear quite well should
be regarded as a warning and their
continuance over twelve hours de
mands immediate medical attention.
This may appear unduly alarming to
those who have not seen the swiftly
tragic results of neglect of diarrhoea
but it cannot be too strongly stated
that summer diarrhoea is a serious
disease, more deadly than pneumonia.
How can we avoid and prevent this
dreadful condition? Nurse your baby
and he is practically safe. Breast fed
babies/are affected but rarely and all
the serious cases occur in artificially
fed infants. If your baby requires to
be bottle fed the careful sterilization
of all utensils required in the prepar
ation of the feedings will go a long
way to avoid contamination of the
food supply. The milk which should
be originally pasteurized must be
boiled from three to five minutes and
kept cold in the refrigerator until it
is required. It is becoming establish
ed that infantile summer diarrhoea or
cholera infantum or “intestinal flu”
are all the same condition and are
infectious diseases.
The germs causing the trouble may
be spread by flies or by the contact
of soiled hands with the food. There
fore screening and all other measures
to eliminate houseflies and scrupulous
personal cleanliness are excellent mea
sures to avoid the spread of infection.
If any older member of the family
has even the slightest diarrhoea he
should avoid all contact with the baby
because what may seem a minor ail
ment in the adult may assume dang
erous proportions in the infant If,'
in spite of these simple and common
sense precautions, your
develop diarhoea, omit
cept large quantities of
until your doctor gives
instructions. Regard the beginnings
of this trouble as worthy of your ser
ious 'attention, don’t wait until the
child become drowsy and sunken-eyed
but act early and save the babies.

RATES REDUCED
TO HYDRO USERS
Wingham to Save $530 Next Year —
$133,31 Refunded This Year
Wingham Hydro users will save
$530 in the next year through rate re
duction, also there is to be a $133.31
Hydro refund to the town.
Basing its analysis upon last year’s
revenue and operating cost, the On
tario Hydro Commission has decided
that the rates to be charged to domes
tic, commercial and power consumers
on the Georgian Bay .system, of which
Wingha mis a part, be reduced in a
large number of cases.
Of 63 Georgian Bay system muni
cipalities—59 served on cost basis and
4 served direct—51 will receive sub
stantial cut in ' consumers’ rates and
12 are to remain ■unchanged.
Total estimated saving to Georg-

--------I
$52,132
Satisfactory financial results are re
corded in the new Hydro report in
respect of 1936 operation of all Georg
ian Bay System Hydro municipalities..
Total revenues on the system were-.
$813,344, and total costs $756,523,.
leaving in the adjustment $57,552 to-
be returned to 51 municipalities andl
$1,730 to be collected from Si, > -
The revised interim rates arranged
for 1937 into account impending ad
ditional capital costs to be incurred
for additional power supplies for the
Georgian Bay System municipalities.
Of the 59 cost municipalities 16 will
receive reduction in interim rate, 3 a
slight increase, and the remainder no
change.
In addition to the above-mentioned,
rate reduction, refunds to consumers
in 19 municipalities were also author
ized. The total estimated refund to.
these consumers will amount to $47,-
268.
Refunds will be made in 29 muni
cipalities in respect of power for mun
icipal purposes and the total amount
to be refunded will amount to $11,-
591.
The consumers in the Georgian Bay
System will, therefore, benefit by
$110,991. Of this amount $47,268 will
be refunded to them by a deduction
from their monthly bill; $52,132 will
be deducted from their monthly bill
by means of rate reductions. The re
fund to- the municipalities of $11,591
will benefit the taxpayers in general-
,, The operating reports of the sys-
* tern show that the municipal electric
utilities, so served, obtained total re
venue for 1936 of $1,193,781; total ex
penses amounted to $1,090,833. The
net surplus obtaining for that year
amounted to $102,948.
