be

I am always half expectant of find
ing someone when I walk through the
rooms . . but find only the twisted,
distorted leather of old high boots,
discarded before the family moved . .
an old book forgotten perhaps in the
bustle ., . in another, corner a winter’s
supply of nuts laid in by an enter
prising squirrel . . faded, yellowed
newspapers spelling out stories of
success and .misfortune’ of years far
removed. ' *
There’s never , much silence in the
old Simpson .house! The squirrels
have busy lanes of traffic, throughout
the attic and down the sides between
and outside the walls . \ . and mice
scurry around under the floors and
pop enquiring heads out of gnawed
holes in the baseboards, from time to
time to see if the intruder is still in
their midst.
Somehow that noise never really
seems to be there. In its place there
is a sound of family life . . sometimes
happy, other times a trifle discordant
. . the patter of baby feet on the stairs
. . and he domestic sounds of pots
and pans from the regions of the kit
chen . . all these but memories of the
departed Simpson family.
I wonder will the Simpson home
and the many Others in our township-
ever be filled again with the happy
noises of a family. Simpson’s, like so
many others, lost sight of the seren
ity of the country for the busy turmoih
of the city. They left one by one un
til f inally, the father and mother,,
wishing to be near the family they
raised in the country, moved to the
city .as well. #
Why should there be families
homeless and jobless in a big city
when there are so many farms witti-
empty houses like the Simpson one . .
and so many fertile acres, such as-
there are on the Simpson farm, wait
ing for the hand of a 'man to guide-
the shearing blade of the ploughshare1
in cultivating them, and willing to re
pay with a bountful harvest.
But then, I suppose if these vacant
farms were filled there would not be
empty houses for boys and men like
myself to prowl through and explore
. . . and dream.
they pay to County roads, This mon
ey is spent on roads in the town and
this is how the work on Minnie St,
was financed, ’
Speaking on reforestation/he said
the county were ready to go ahead
but suspended operations due to the
war,
Equalization takes place every 10
or 12 years in the county. In the
equalization made last year and ad
opted this year, Wingham was slight
ly raised. Stephen Township and
Goderich town have appealed their as
sessment and the courts are now de
ciding this question.
County of Huron started in 1841
and will next year celebrate their
110th anniversary by being free of
debt as the last debentures amounting
to $12,000 will be paid off next year.
As chairman of the property com
mittee the Reeve said the principal
‘item was the Arena, which so far has
paid its way so far as operating ex
penses are concerned. Expect to have
a good hockey team this year.
Commissioner A, J. Walker
Mr. Walker was chairman of
Commission this year. During
year he said a change had been made
in the sending out of the water bills.
Now sent out with Hydro bills and
payable at the Hydro Shop. The new
pump has been installed and will soon
be in use. It is the only one of its
kind in Canada, he said. It has a ca
pacity of 400 gallons which is as
much as (he fire truck can pump. The
commission have a contract for the
removal of Bell Telephone poles from
the main street. So far the Bell com
pany have laid wires and cables un
derground and work will be contin
ued to completion soon, After look
ing over lighting systems in various
places the standards and equipment
were purchased and all supplies pur
chased before any price rise which
saved considerable money.
There has been a slight reduction
in rates this year but this has been
offset by the tax the federal govern
ment placed on domestic users, he in
formed the audience. He closed by
thanking the people for election by
acclamation and promised the same
service as in the past.
Murray Johnson
Mr. Johnson expressed his apprec
iation for his election last year and
said if elected this year he would do
his best to give good service to the
ratepayers, He felt the council had
done well this year keeping within
the estimates,
Walter VanWyck
Mr, VanWyck who is chairman of
the Fire committee, stated that his
committee had kept within their esti
mates and that they would have a
surplus of three or four hundred dol
lars, He said he was proud of the fire
I given
a good account of themselves at re-
I cent fires. He thanks the citizens for
| their support during his four years in
| the council and. stated If elected he
pvould do his best next year.
R, H. Lloyd
j As chairman of the Cemetery coni-
Imittee, he said this committee was
| within their estimates and had enough
’ on hand to pay expenses for the bal-
? ance of the year. So far the expenses
a have been $1866.65, while the esttm-
ates were $2100. He stated that there
jhad been a record number of burials
I this year. The section being levelled
jthis year required more fill than us-
|ual and a knoll at the cemetery was
used for this purpose.
« Speaking of Relief* Mr. Lloyd said|

EMPTY HOUSE
What is there about an empty
house that seems so fascinating?
From the time we country folk are
old enough to toddle after our older
brothers we want to prowl through
empty houses. Is it curiosity or a
sense of the romantic in our natures,
that makes us want to see what they
look like inside.
| Some empty houses have such a
comfortable look about them. It I
’ doesn’t seem possible, for instance, i
that no one is living in the Simpson
house. There it stands with clap
boards missing, windows agape and
sagging verandah, and yet you never
notice those things.
Somehow I aways seem to notice
the lilac trees at the front door, the
old binder wheel that was once a flow
er bed, on the front lawn .. the spac
ious, friendly front door flanked by
a tew of the remaining coloured glass
windows considered quite stylish in
the days when the Simpson house was
occupied, I always like the took of
the big chimney, built on the outside,
with its squat, stubby peak that seems
ready a a moment’s notice to send a
homey curl of smoke up ino the sky
outside.
I often prowl through the Simpson
house! Why, I know the layout as]
well as our own home. There’s the |
big kitchen with it’s bare wooden!
| floor, that looks, in spite of the dust
