A LETTER FROM THE WEST Appreciation of Car Sent from Wrox­ eter Expressed. The following letter was received by Mr. and Mrs. James Sangster from the Droxford, Sask., area. The con­ tents of the letter speaks for itself. Droxfard, Sask., Nov. 15, 1937 Dear Friends: At last I pick up niy pen to write you a few lines to thank you for your kindness in sending-us provisions. We found your name wrapped with some Gospel papers. I was very much in­ terested in the good news which they contained. I' teach a Sunday School in our own chttrch, their ages are from 12 to 16* I like it very much. I have 15, most of them are boys. We live Ity miles From church. It is a Baptist Church and we have a good congre­ gation, Before these dry years came we could quite easily gather a htind-. ted or mote every Sunday. However, since 1^28 owing to continued crop Failures, many have left, and to-day we do well if W6 got fifty to stay, We have had one of the driest years ever experiewced by the people m this part ih their tithe.

Although farm woodlots do not require the same attention as orchids, at the same time, to obtain profitable returns, some attention must “be giv­ en to the conditions of growth, Following good woodlot practices of cutting will not result in a change overnight but the property can be expected to develop gradually to the point of yielding highest returns. One advantage lumber has over some oth­ er farm crops is that it does not have to be sold immediately in order to keep it from spoiling or deteriorat­ ing. If the market for fuel, fence posts, and lumber, or pulpwood, is low, the trees can be allowed to grow and increase in value. the lumber that is •essential in the pro- lumber crops is the methods of cutting YOUR EYES NEED ATTENTION Our 25 Point Scientific Examin­ ation enables us to give you Clear, Comfortable Vision F.

Harriston COUNTY COUNCIL 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 ] like the usual Hollywood passion, so they took the pjunge Nov. 20. The ceremony took place in St. Brendan’s Roman Catholic church, the bride 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. •Dear friends, we held a Thanks­ giving service to-day in our Church, Thanking Him for His loving mercy towards us. Perhaps we did not get “TRAILER BISHOP” our potatoes, turnips, carrots, etc.; through the channels which we usual­ ly do but God had provided them for us. Oh, I do thank God that He is a universal being. I thank Him because Pie has provided for us all, an abundance of all things. “Ask, and ye shall receive,” the Lord said, and we here in the pro­ vince of Saskatchewan, . are very thankful that we have to' the East of us brother and sisters in the truest sense of the word. When the call was sent, you answered. Dear friends in Christ, insomuch as ye have done it unto us ye have ful­ filled His commandment.’ We were hungry and ye gave us meat; we were 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 ing to you and yours. I am 27 years of age, have two sis­ ters, age 14 and 17, also a brother, age 8. • Would like to hear from you and would like to let you know more about our West. We have had a love­ ly fall but this last week we got little snow and it is a little colder. Again thanking you, I remain, Very sincerely yours, Albert Smith. haying changed her faith to that her husband, and everybody in Bet­ ty’s picture had the week-end off. trees which comes up under normal conditions to replace the trees that are harvested. The actual growth of the standing trees also is reduced through the abnormal conditions thus set up. By keeping live stock out of the woodlot, normal conditions pre­ vail and with proper thinning of the stands by culling the inferior trees, the timber will be improved. It is -estimated that farm woodlots, especially hardwoods, will produce at least 50 per cent more lumber if the lots are protected from fire and heavy (Continued from Page Two) workmen’s compensation was-secured for a premium of $1,252.29. Two ac­ cidents have occurred that were cov­ ered by this policy. “It is the intention to carry on snow removal from the roads as in the past. In view of theBincreasing number of accidents on the roads, we recommend that stop signs be erected next Spring on the following roads: Road No. 12, Seaforth to Belmore; Road No. 25, Dunlop to<Blyth; Road No. 27, Lucknow to Carlow; Road No. 4, the Crediton Road; Road No. 6, the St. Marys Road; Road No. 3, Bayfield to Engmondville; Road No. 35, Clinton to Bayfield. “We further recommend that a cer­ tain number of our roads be so sign­ ed each year. Re road south of Wroxeter, re­ quested as a County Road, your com­ mittee has examined the road, and we recommend that action be deferr­ ed until further extensions to the County Road System may be made. The clerk announced that two re­ presentatives of Western University had been here on Wednesday looking over the historic documents in the at­ tic, and had intimated they would be willing to undertake the classification and proper filing of them. . Drunken Driver Calls of “too recommendation eminent asking drunk and reckless drivers; and also that the penalty for a second convic­ tion for drunken driving include the permanent cancelation, of drivers’ per­ mits, presented on Friday at the con­ cluding session of Huron County Council, The motion, sponsored by Reeves W. D. Saunders, of Exeter, and Pet­ er W. Scott, of East Wawanosh, was dealt with with Reeve Richard Johns­ ton of Ashfield in the chair and was the cause of heated discussion. Warden Eckert — “I wouldn’t take- a man’s license away from him per­ manently. The motion is too drastic. Some of our best men have been known to reform after they are 30 years of age.

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 drastic” greeted the to the Ontario gov- stiffer penalties for in Huron County. 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. Warden Eckert was presented with a gold-headed cane and address at a banquet in Hotel Bedford at which lie entertained the members of the council and county officials,.
