CLOSING SESSION
Three years have sped since Jackie
Coogan, once-fanious child star, and
Betty Grable, now-famous blonde
actress, met on an excursion boat and
fell in love. After three year they feel
} their love can “take it” and not wilt

they took the pjunge Nov. 20. The
ceremony took place in St. Brendan’s

poor for some years but with careful
working one always gets a little, but
this year was a total failure, notfonly
to our field crops, but also to our
gardens.
We have a fine shelter belt and us
ually grow a good garden because we
are sheltered so well, but on account
of so little snow last winter and no
rain, most of the seeds never germin
ated. Our first’ rain came on July 14
and it-was a good rain. Still things
look rather bad as it is very dry once
more but one never knows what is
in store for us. I do hope and trust
that times will be better.
We have a fine home, and some
very fine soil and I believe that our
West will again see good crops once
more. We .did wonder last summer
what would become of us but some
how I think we all forgot the Lord
has promised us that He shall pro
vide.

Thanking Him for His loving mercy
towards us. Perhaps we did not get

for us. Oh, I do thank God that He
is a universal being. I thank Him

Lord said, and we here in the pro

thirsty and ye gave us drink. I. trust
that if ever there came a time when
you dear people would require help
I hope that that call would not go
unanswered but would be responded
to in as generous a way as was ours.
I pen these few lines to you from
a thankful family. May God in His
loving mercy richly bestow His bless

Care of Farm Woodlot
Brings Good Results
Grazing by live stock and burning
probably create more damage to the
farm woodlot than any other agen
cies, and, therefore, foresters recom
mend fencing off the woodlot from,
cattle and taking particular care to
see that fire does not burn over the
woods. By following certain simple
rules farmers can get good results
out of the care of the woodlot, These
rules are! 1, Keep the live stock out
of the woods; 2, confine annual cut
ting to a definite area of the lot; 3,
make no large openings in the woods;
4, favour the thriftiest best-formed
crop trees; 5, remove some of the
larger crop trees where crowding ex
ists; 6, cut inferior trees for wood;
and 7, protect the woods against fire,
The reason why live stock should
be kept out of the woodlot is that
their presence tends to have the litter
trampled under the trees and packs
the soil so that the water run-off and
consequent erosion of soil are ehcour*
aged. Further the adhiission •of live
stock to the woodlot prevents the
proper growth of the new crop of
Penalties Discussed

stiffer penalties for

The opinion was expressed that the
Mothers’ Allowance Board gave hon
est individual action but lack organ
ization to give the services required,
by the public.
Endorsation was given a motion
sponsored by Reeves J. H. Scott and
Bryans, that the Coupty Council of
Huron notify Amos Ball of R. R. 1„
Auburn, by a letter from the county
clerk, that in view of the fact that
the council had reimbursed Andrew
Shephard to the extent of $100 for
the loss of a horse sustained when,
|ie was extricating Mr. Ball from ser
ious difficulties on a county highway,
Council was of the unanimous opinion
that Mr. Ball should pay Mr Shep
hard at his earliest convenience an
additional $75 to reimburse in full for
the loss of the horse.
Council voted in favor of memor
ializing the legislature to again give
$50 to the Teachers’ Conventions of
Ontario as was paid in past years as
it was felt these conventions are a
great benefit to the junior teachers.
The Teachers’ Institutes of East
and West Huron were given a grant
of $50 each.
Warden Eckert will join the dele
gates from the town of Goderich to
go to Ottawa to present the harbor
improvement plans proposed by the
town council.
R. J. Deachman, M.P., addressed,
the afternoon session.
He said that he considered the pro
posed legislation that is to come be
fore parliament at its next session re
specting new tariffs between the An
glo-Saxon group of nations is the
most important to come before this
parliament or any other parliament
since the turn of the century.
If the tariffs' can be lowered, then
it will make a different story, not on
ly economically, but will go a long
way toward bringing peace to this
troubled world and in maintaining and
assuring it.
Council adjourned to meet the third
Tuesday in January, by singing the
National Anthem.
