Council agreed that Oouncillor W. F. Burgman would attend the meeting with Mr. Haney. Mr. Haney asked that a ruling be made regarding the issuing of build­ ing permits in the town. He said that last year, although there was a by-law requiring everyone engaged in new construction to purchase a permit, sometimes this was not en­ forced. It was difficult for him to carry on his job of building inspector If the building permit by-law was not enforced, he stated. To Banquet M»clgets Mayor Miller told council that an­ other hockey championship had been won by the Wingham Midgets, and Chat he thought the town should show their appreciation of the fact in some way or other. He pained out that the Dions Club, which sponsored the team, would probably be present­ ing them with jackets, and suggest­ ed that the town put on a banquet for the victors, as it had in the past. On a motion by Deputy-Reeve Joe Kerr and Councillor Norman Ideat­ ing, it was decided to tender a ban­ quet with to the team, date to be arranged the Lions Club, To Keep D.S.T. letter from the Huron Feder-A ation of Agriculture was read by the clerk W. A. Galbraith, asking that the council consider shortening the dates of daylight saving time to ex­ clude the months of May and Sep­ tember. The mayor pointed out that council had already set dates for day­ light saving time, and it was decided to write the Federation to this effect A letter from the Salvation Army was read, asking for a grant of $50 from the town. On motion of Coun­ cillor Hamilton and Reeve McKinney it was decided to make a grant of $40, as in years past.

Committee Reports Reporting for the street committee, Councillor Purdon said that in his opinion the streets were in excellent condition for this time of year. Small repairs and patching would be under­ taken in the near future, he stated. ! IJe asked the council what should be done about all the <people who wanted trees removed from their property. Some trees had been cut down because they had become a hazard, but other citizens had asked that their trees be removed too. Councillor Purdon said that in his opinion trees were being removed without good reason, and that the town should stop cutting trees just because somebody wants them out of the way. Mayor Miller said that it takes a long time to grow a tree, and that he thought trees should only be re­ moved if necessary. Councillor Purdon also asked that some fire hose be made available to the streets department for cleaning out sewers and catch basins. He said that firemen were loathe to lend their hose for this purpose, and asked that the town purchase new hose and obtain old hose from the firemen for the purpose. Councillor Norman Keating, report­ ing for the fire department, said that the firemen had already contemplat­ ed the purchase of 400 feet of hose. Council agreed to buy 600 feet for the fire department, and request 200 feet of old hose to be used in the street department. Ask for Instruments Reporting for the band, Councillor Norman Keating stated that the jun­ ior band had ceased to function, but that there were still instruments out­ standing. Council agreed that if the band were no longer in operation the instruments should be rounded up and kept at the town hall under lock and key. The new heating system in the fire hall had been installed. Council­ lor Keating reported, and is operating well. Councillor Earl Hamilton, report­ ing on the industrial committee which has been set up in Huron County, said that the next meeting would be held in Exeter, and invited’ any of the council who were interest­ ed to attend. He reported that the •committee is sending a man to the Trade Fair in Toronto, and is pre­ paring a brochure of industrial pos­ sibilities in the county, for promo­ tional work. fit the nursing of Health, was discussing with Mrs, Iris Morrey, hospital superinten­ dent the formation of a new Nursing Assistant Course, which it is hoped' will be smarted in Wingham General Hospital this fall. The new course, which will be a 10- month duration instead of the 12- month course held in the past, is ex­ pected to turn out two classes of ten students each, qualified as Certified Nursing Assistants. The diploma is recognized in all parts of Canada where legislation exists. At present the nearest comparable course is available in Toronto, and there is only three hospitals in On­ tario which currently give such a course. They are in Brookville, Pic- ton and Toronto. Thirteen hundred assistants have so far been graduated frpm these courses, which qualify the graduates to adminisfer simple treat­ ments and assist registered nurses. According to Mrs. Morrey the hos­ pital is now looking for a Registered Nurse to conduct the course. The job would entail full time work, and hos­ pital authorities are hoping that some qualified nurse in the district, not at present active, will apply for the po-. sition. Previous courses were conduct­ ed by Mrs. Morrey herself. The new course will not relieve the hospital of its obligation to have its usual staff of registered nurses, but the girls in training will provide as­ sistance for the nurses now employed at the hospital. It is expected that if the new course is successful, other hospitals in the district will institute courses similar nature. Miss B.

BOY HIT BY TRUCK IN BELGRAVE MISHAP The second accident in a week oc­ curred in Belgrave on Thursday, when thrcffe-year-old Raymond VanCamp, son of Mr. and Mrs. John R. Van- Camp, was struck by a truck while crossing the street in the village. He was taken to Wingham General Hos­ pital suffering head and foot injuries, and was held there for observation and treatment. The youngster had been playing in front of a parked car in the village, and apparently darted out in front of the heavy truck, driven by Arnold Williamson, of Palmerston, and own­ ed by E. S. Watt & Son Feed Com­ pany, of that town. The driver atid a witness are reported to have said that the child ran out in front of the on­ coming vehicle, giving the driver only 'six feet in which to apply the brakes. The truck seemed to pass over the VanCamp boy without touching him. He was rushed to the hospital where he was kept under observation until the following day, when he was per­ mitted to return home. Provincial Constable J. J. Lewis, of Wingham, and constables from Gode­ rich investigated.
