Clinton, Wingham and Exeter have less than a 125 difference in population. Clinton boasts 2,814, Wingham has 2,802' and Exeter houses 2,708.« Assessment-wise, Exeter is well -out in front of the other two centres with $2,444,319. Wingham has a value of $2,252)069 while Clinton has $1,980,964. Seaforth,' the fifth town in the county, has a- population of 2,165 and an assessment of $1,531,370. Exeter is the second-largest town in size’ in the county. Its 1,075 acres are only 185 less than Goderich. Wingham is only 350 acres in size. Howick leads the townships in population with 2,715. Hay comes second with 2,490 and Stephen third with 2,423. Tuckersmith has 1,981, Stanley 2,044, and Usborne 1,638. District township assessments are: Stephen $3,499,230, Hay $3,360,747, Stanley $2,759,380, Tuckersrrtith" $2,604,500, Usborne $2,681;250. Brussels is the largest village with a population of 814 and an assessment of $597,075. Hens­ ail comes second with a total of 795 residents and first with an assessment of $763,170. Substantial grants to hospital building projects in Goderich and Wingham are responsible for the one-mill increase in the county rate. ' Council approved a levy of 12 mills, one more, than in 1955. Total taxes which must be raised in 1956 will amount to $680,000, made up of $23$,000 for roads and the remainder for gen­ eral county purposes. Amounts.to be paid by the mu­ nicipalities are: Ashfield $34,824; Colborne $20,999; Goderich town­ ship, $27,694; Grey, $35,633; Hay, $39,634; Howick, $43,576; Huliett, $32,295; McKillop, $32,856; Mor­ ris, $29^,884; Stanley, $32,972; Stephen, $41,751; Tuckersmith, $30,991; Turnberry, $19,446; Us­ borne, $32,161; East Wawartosh. $19,588; west Waw’anosh, $2'1,468; Clinton, $23,291; Exeter, $28,574; Town of Goderich, $65,597; Sea­ forth, $18,180; Wingham, $26,281; Blyth, $6,169; Brussels, $7,038; Hensall, $9,154. IIU UWIW -t«j« IWW Remains At '55 Level Grand Bend council set its tax rate at the same level as 1955 at a meeting Monday night. The rate will be 44 mills on the north side of the village, which contributes: towards South Huron District High School, and 39.8 mills on the south side, which is part of the Forest Dist­ rict High School area. Council was able to absorb an increase in county rates and in high school levies because of re­ duced road costs. Last year, council raised the rate in order to build the new outlet to the Bluewater Highway on the north side of the village. No similar road expenditure is necessary this year. An amendment was passed to the dog by-law prohibiting dogs from frequenting the beach. In order to control the renting of tourist establishments, council has established, a licencing sys­ tem for all property owners, who provide lodging. Although the licence, fee is only $1.00 fox* any landlord, no matter how many establishments he may have, the by-law provid­ es for a penalty of $50 for any­ one renting accomodation with­ out a licence. Officials believe police will be able to curtail the renting of lodging to undesirables by re­ voking the licence of those who allow rowdies to occupy cabins or cottages. Reeve Jas. Dalton said the by­ law was aimed at landlords in distant cities who rent their prop­ erties and fail to supervise ■ the tenants, The by-law governs tourist camps, motels, trailer camps, and rooming houses. The only type of- accomodation to which the by-law is not applicable is the kind which is rented on a yearly basis. Cpl. Neil Chamberlain, head of the OPP detachment, said 99 percent of the owners co-operate now but there is a small minor­ ity which rents to undesirables. Nows Of Clandeboye By MRS. J. H.

Fight Weeds With 'Dozers Bull-dozers are to be used this, year to root out old fence-rows, as part of the campaign against buckthorn in Huron, said W. R. Dougall, Hensall, county weed1 inspector,' when 1 he appeared Wednesday before Huron County Council. An organized effort is being made, under Mr. Dougall’s dir­ ection, to destroy . buckthorn bushes in the county, because buckthorn is a host plant for some of- the rust diseases’ which attack gi in crops.. The weathei’ imposed a. de­ layed start oxi the weed-sprayxrtg work in Huron:this year; said Mr. Dougall, but good progress has been made in the past two weeks in attacking buckthorn with a Spray treatment directed, at the bark qf the main stem, for the first two, feet above the ground. Later in the year, thick patches will be given general spray treatment, and bull-dozers will be used to uproot buckthorn" fertce-rows. Barberry, which is similarly a, host plant to riist, is now under control in Huron, Mr.' Dougall reported. Yellow Rocket Menace “There Seems to be, quite a outbreak this spring . of yellow rocket, throughout the county” the’ weed inspector said. “It seems to be getting a foot-hold more than it has in the past.” Reeves should advise their township- weed inspector1, to have the yellow rocket pulled, or cut, without delay, Mr. Dougall said. “Mow it. if it’s too thick td pull.” The rocket’ plant seeds early, he. said/ add speed is needed if it is to be controlled this year. * Somd trouble is being exper­ ienced With the bedstraw weed irt Huron, councillors were told, although it lias not become a menace to pastures in Huron to the same extent as it has irt Perth. The most serious infesta­ tion of bedstraw Of which he knows in Huron, said Mr. Dougall, is in Usborne town’ship, near Kirkton, and not far from the1 Perth boundary. The bed- straW is a rdal threat to the feeding value Of1 old pastures, he There are seven standard tinf'e zones in Canada and the differ­ ence in time between the New­ foundland and Yukon zones is five and one-half hours. Dairy Farmers Diet Conscious A lot is being said in a lot of circles these days about diet, for the nation has become in­ creasingly diet conscious in the last year or so. / And, while the subject comes in for much discussion in urhan circles, at afternoon bridge par­ ties or coffee klatches, it, is .also being talked out on the farm. Cream producers throughout .Ontario are conscious of diet hot because of their figures (hard work leaves them little problem along this line), but because of their eventual customers, the butter consumer. Butter supplies essential nutri­ tion in the diet, so therefore the cream producer is contributing, to a healthy diet by . moving' the . products ’bjs dairy herds fd market. But he also has to be conscious of the diet of his cattle as well as that of his customers, for only the properly fed cqw produces milk from which, in turn, comes the butter that is so important to the health of the consumer. As a result, the1 diet charts on the stable wall are as carefully watched as those in any city kitchen. The results too, are usually as satisfactory—-to farmer,, dairy coW and butter consumer. Masonic Lodge At Caven Church Lebanon Forest Lodge A.F. & A.M. was well represented at divine worship in Cavexf Presby­ terian Church Sunday morning on the occasion of the anniver­ sary ’of the order. The brethren occupied the centre peWs. The minister, Rev, Samuel Kerr, took for his subject “Build­ ing.” He referred to the Em­ pire State Building in New York, 102 stories high, the world’s tal­ lest skyscraper; of Westminster Abbey where England has be­ stowed her honors not only on sovereigns but on some of the most celebrated men of science, Soldiers, statesmen, men* of let­ ters and poets who are interred there. He mentioned the pyra­ mids, built by slave labor to provide a burying place for kings. But the greatest builders of all were the prophets of old who were builders of a spiritual realm, culminating in Jesus Christ; the great Master Builder.

ALUMINUM COMPANYOF * CANADA, LTD. (ALCAN) warned. “Cattle .Won’t eat it, and id an old pasture it will just simply take over.” Some townships which have been spraying the edges of tjieir township roads, to kill weeds, are not going to spray- this year; Mr. Dougall reported. He said ■he considered it might do no great harm to discontinue spray­ ing for’ one year; on the other hand, he said, cutting of weeds with a mower can not do a com­ plete job. “There are lots of places, around bridges and cul­ verts and pole-lines, where it’s impossible to mow.” Fruit Growers See Kent Farms A number of fruit growers from Exeter and Kippen areas were among county growers who made a bus tour of Kent County Tuesday. , They yisited the farm of W.
