Theread are many other ros, some of them °I considerable importance, and some of them in a tolerable state of repair, which , may be noticed ui our remarks of the several townships. The ch of road, how- ever. is the Buffalo and Lake Huron rail- road. of which the Province and the waist have heard so much, and which is now in course of oanstruction. The line crosses the full breadth of the county from east to west. witt a cur.sderable in- clination to the north. and passes through about twenty four miles of the nchest settlement. From Stratf rd to Godench it runs parallel to the Huron road, and within Inas than half a mile of it, touching closely on the several villages. It is ex- pected to be in operation all the way Goderich harbor by November next year, or, at all events, it must be completed by Jnly. 1145d, under a penalty of 100 pounds a day fur every day beyond the stipulated time. A line of first-class steamers to ply between Goderich and Chicago, Mil- waukee, etc:. is spoken of, traffic and the trac of the Western States. according to calcula- tion, will be immense. It is clear that if there is a trace or traffic in the Western States and that requires an outlet to the Atlantic seaboard. the Beilalo and Lake Huron railroad will command a fair share of it, because it is both the nearest and the rleaiest route. Besides, the list of roads contemplated to be gravelled. and tor ahicha bylaw is at present published, will bring the whole county v:ithin three or four hours' teaming of some depot on the railroad, and in such an extent of rich agricultural country. the quantity of produce w 11 make a very mesiitant item of traffic; and to all this may fairly be added a very large amount of pleasure travel in the summer season, induced by the deservedly renowned salubrity and beauty of the banks of Lake Huron. In the year 1852, when Mr. Wadsworth, Mayor of Buffalo, and his friends first prto extend their Buffalo and Brantford railrtlad to Goderich, the uE 'ited counties of Huron, Perth 'and Bruce took stock or otherwise became liable for 125.000 pounds. but through sheer proflig- ate mismanagement and lack of bottom, the Company were unable to complete the work. and in leasing it to the present English Company the stock of the munici- palities had to be sacrificed. as the debt on the road was nearly twice as much as the value of the work; but now that there is a prospect of the road being completed the people of Huron do not grumble over their loss but look (award in hope to the beneficial results of a railroad. turned back to clear off the fallen ti tier from the opening behind."

The Goderich and Saugeen road which. many years ago, was to have been a gigantic undertaking of the Government. hes yet to be made. it was to extend from Port Sarnia to Saugeen as cone as practi- cable to the lake shore. The road between Gatierich and Bayfield is part of it, though not made by Government. It is trseelable a few miles south of Hayfield. - and with some risk teams can pass over it for a distance of about fourteen miles , northward of Gorier ich. It has been use - with in Canada. It is well tumpiked and graded—an excellent summer and winter road, but in the spring and fall nearly im- passable.

Procedure to obtain Leave ci �'ti3onc�. Men Nineteen and Twenty Years of Age. It has come to the attention of the Government (Lat thr're k a widespread impression that young men of nineteen years, a::d those who became twenty since October 13, 1917, as well as those who may. bo Tome nineteen from time to time and who have been or will be called upon to register under the Military Service Act, are to be immediately called to the colours. - This impression is quite incorrect No date 11as yet been fixed for calling upon such men to so report for duty, nor has the question been brought before the Cabinet for decision. In view of the need of labour on the farm, it is most unlikely that consideration will be given to the ms -ter until after the harvest is .. over, although of course the Government's action must be determined primarily by the military situation. � There is no further obligation incumbent upon young men of the aces above mentioned who have registered or who do so hereafter, until they receive notice from the Registrars. Harvest Leave. Some enquiries have been received as to the possibility of granting harvest leave to such troops as may be in the country at that time. No definite assur- ance can be given .on this point as advantage must be taken of ships as they become available. On the other hand, harvest leave will be given if at all possible. Leave of Absence on Grounds of Extreme Hardship. It is desired that the Regulations respecting leave of absence in cast's of hard- ship should be widely known and fully understood. Such leave will be granted in two cases:— (a) where extreme hardship arises by reason of the fact that the man concerned is either the only son capable of earning a livelihood, of a father killed or disabled on service or presently in service overseas, or in training for such service, or under treatment .after returning from overseas; or the only remaining of two or more broth"rs capable of earning a livelihood f the other brother or brothers having been killed or disabled on service, or being presently in service overseas, or in training for overseas or under treatment atter his or their return from overseas); brothers married before 4th August, 1914, living in separate establishments and having a child or children not to be counted, in determining the fact that the man is the "only" remaining son or brother, (b) where extreme hardship arises by reason of exceptional eireum:±tan( + such as the fact that the man concerned is the sole support of a widowed n 1 ether, an invalid father or other helpless dependents. It is to be noted that in all these cases the governing factor is not hardship. loss or suffering to the individual concerned, but to others, that is. m• -sabers of his family.or those depending upon him. ' Procedure to obtain leave of absence. A simple system for dealing with these cases l:aa been adopted. 'terms of application have been supplied to every Depot Battalion and an offi( if each battalion has been detailed whose duty it is to give them immediate •ration. The man concerned should on reporting to his unit state that he desii 'apply for leave of Absence on one or more of the grounds mentioned and his wation form will then bo filled out and forwarded to Militia Headquarters, 0 In the meantime, if the case aplxars meritorious, the man will be given'''. ,visional leave of absence for thirty days so that he may return home and cr - hi: civil occupation white his case is being finally disposed of.
