tive in this connection. The required
ten signatures were furnished and the
application made out and sent in. The
Co-operative will supply one hundred
books each year for three years, from
their library van; if the local commit-
tee carries out certain local arrange-
ments. Liberal grants will also be given
under these conditions. Books of fict-.
,ion, non-fiction and juvenile, will be
carefully chosen. The library will be in
.operation just as soon as local mem-
bership is sufficient to make the
-scheme workable.
The community needs this library,
and it is earnestly desired that all who
are willing to become members will
get behind the movement in every pos-
sible way, giving in their names at once
'to the committee in charge. The com-
mittee will be meeting again shortly
to arrange further details of the plan
and these details will then be published.
The initial set-up is as follows:-
Chairman, Rev. W. S. Sutherland, Sec.-
Treas., J. D. Beecroft.

The appointment of Alex Alexander,
former reeve of Grey township, as
county assessor, as recommended by
the equalization committee, was con-
firmed at the afternoon session of Hur-
on County Council on Wednesday. ft
was also decided to adopt a county
equalization assessment system in or-
der that the assessment might be cern-
pleted by 1950,
With reeve George Ginn in the chair,
considerable discussion followed the
reading of the report.
Reeve J, McNabb thought the sys-
tem would cost a lot of money. Reeve
B. W. Tuckey argued that different
muicipalities in the county have chang-
ed drastically and something should be
done regarding equalization, High
school areas had created the necessity
for new schools, and it was imperative
that a new assessment should be got
under way.
Clerk N. W. Miller pointed out that
an assessment is due under the statutes
and there are only two ways of institut-
ing it - by the appointment of an as-
sessor or by the appointment of a five-
man committee,
The latter method might not be sat-
isfactory, contended Reeve Farrish, a
member of the equalization committee.
.The new system would be similar to
that used in Grey county, where there
seems to be complete satisfaction.
Finally on motion of Reeves M.
Johnson of Wingham and J. E. Huck-
ins of Goderich, the report was adopt-
ed.
Estimates Six-Mill Rate
Estimates submitted by County
Treasurer A. H. Erskine showed an
estimated expenditure of $208,850; es-
timated revenue, $212,532; estimated
surplus, $3,682, This would mean an
estimated rate of six mills, made up
as follows: general account, 3.5 mills;
county highways, 2.5; plus the cost of
secondary schools to those townships
not included in high school areas. The
rate for urban centres would be six
mills.

Canadian farmers will receive copies
of one of the most remarkable publica,,
tions ever devised by a Government,
It is a blank farm account book to
help Canadian farmers keep track of
their business the whole year round,
and it will be forwarded to them free
of charge.
The new Farm Account Book is a
securely-bound 44-page volume; nine
by twelve inches in size. Following an
!introduction, there are 15 pages of in-
formation, on farmer's income tax and
23 lined and headed blank pages on
which lie can list his transactions from
week to week.
The last section begins with receipts
from the sale of crops and seeds and
covers most other items handled by
farmers -livestock, poultry, honey,
hides, manure and a dozen other sun-
dry sales.
The next section deals with expen-
ses for seeds, feeds, livestock, custom
work, rent, supplies, wages and tools.
There are blank columns for capital
and revenue from stocks and bonds.
The foreword explains bow the farmer
can calculate his 'net worth' and deter-
mine what progress or lack of progress
he has made during the year.
In a few minutes the farmer can put
down his day's or week's transactions
with a minimum of trouble. The new
Pattn Account Book can save many
farmers money in that it can take the
place of an expert. In fact, to bave
similar accounting system installed by
an expert would be beyond the scope
of most men on the land.
The report of the striking commit-
tee was adopted, appointing the follow-
ing committees, the first named in each

The largest crowd of the season
packed the Wingham Arena Tuesday
evening, when the two old rivals, the
Lucknow Sepoy, and the 'Wingliam
Rockets tangled horns, with the final
outcome reading, Lucknow 10, Wing-
ham 5. The game fro?ri start to finish
provided plenty of kxcitement, good
hockey, and sometimes not so good,
plenty of penalties, hard body check-
ing, flaring tempers and a free for all,
and so the fans were treated to every-
thing in the curriculum of hockey.
The period was only two minutes
old, when Bill Chin on a pass from his
brother, GeoFge dented the twine, set-
ting the stage which ended in victory
for the visitors, and produced seven
goals and five assists for the Chin trio
of Bill, George and Albert. English
opened the scoring for Wingham on a
pass from Anderson in the first period
at 5,47, and Brent flashed the red light
on Rae's pass at 18.03, but the Chin
line came through with two more tal-
lies to finish the period 3-2 for Luck-
now. In the second period, George and
Bill Chin clicked for two goals within
eleven seconds, George Chin- and Dah-
mer tallied again for the Sepoys, while
Anderson notches the Rockets lone
tally,.
From a scoring point of view And-
son and Sell sparked the Wingharn
drive, Anderson securing two goals and
two assists while Sell garnered a goal
and assist, Dahmer for Lucknow, regis-
tered three goals. Referee Stan* Smith
of Stratford handed out 19 penalties,

A "Supperless" meeting of Wingham
Lions Club was held at the Town Hall
on Friday evening with A full attend-
ance. Lions paid the usual supper fee
and the money was turned over to Lion
Hugh Carmichael and his Committee
to purchase food parcels for Britain.
President '" Frank Madill announced
that the regular supper meeting would
be held next month and it would be
"Education!" night with a prominent
educational speaker in attendance.
Lion Tamer Jack Reavie with Lion
Harold V. Pym at the piano led in sev-
eral rousing songs. President Frank
introduced Lion Whitney Gross of the
Newcastle Lions Club as a new mem-
ber. Lion Whit was given the Lions
Roar. Tailtwister Wally Armstrong
carried out his duties in the usual ef-
ficient manner.
Lion. Sam Burton presented a play
by the Junior Dramatic Club entitled
"A Major Operation". The scene was
set at the living room of Lion Ron
Rae's home. The characters were: Ron
Rae by George Hall, Mrs. Ron Rae by
Grace. Campbell, Nurse Carr by Jean
Hobden, Harley Crawford by Jack
Hobden and Omar Haselgrove by John
Crawford.
The play opened with Ron Rae .all
tied up in bandages and seriously ill,
shouting for Nurse Carr. He had viol-
ent outbursts of bad temper while Mrs.
Rae and Nurse Carr did their best to
quiet him. He thought he would need
an ambulance but asked which would
be cheapest one. Finally he decided to
call for his lawyer, Harley Crawford,
to change his will. After deciding to
leave Jack McKilsbon out of his will
and cutting him off without a cent.
Omar Haselgrove dropped in and after
trying to comfort him, he expressed
regret that fit was so ill and the curl-
ing season in full swing. Omar hap-
pened to mention that Wilf French was
boasting that he could beat him at
curling. This brought on a fresh out-
burst of temper from Ron and he
jumped up and demanded his clothes
as lie started out for the Curling Rink
to show Wilf. French that he couldn't
boast like that.
The young players certainly did their
parts well and were given a great
hand by the Lions. They were invited
to sit in with the Lions at the next din-
ner meeting. President Frank thanked
Lion Sam for his good work in get-
ting up the play on short notice. Tail-
twister Wally called upon all Lions
mentioned in the play for fines for the
advertising they received.
President Frank invited Lion Art
Irwin to perform a duty for the Club.
Lion Art called Lion Don Nasmith to
the front and after a very amusing in-
terview as to his family status, etc.,
he drew forth the positive assertion of
Lion Don that he was a "proficient"
father. After making sure of this qual-
ification, Lion Doc drew out a card
table and invited Lion Don to be seat-
ed. He produced a life-size doll warm-
ly clad in winter garments. He also
produced a complete set of suitable
clothing for bed wear. As a proof of
his proficiency, Lion Art insisted that
Lion Don change the doll's clothing so
it would be ready for bed. Lion Don
carried out his duties very well except
for a little careless handling which
greatly alarmed all the fathers present,
Lion on was presented with a silver
cup for his new son, Janles, with the
best wishes of the Club.
President Frank tailed upon Past
President Fred Spry to introduce the
guest speaker of the evening, District
Deputy Governor Steve ,Jones
Mount Forest. Lion Steve stated that
this was mainly an inspection visit to
the Club. He was very favorably im-
pressed by the good singing and the
leadership with Lion Harold Pym at
the piano. He felt that the Wingham
Club ranked high in the district. He ex-
pressed his admiration of the Town
Hall and coniniented upon the clean
appearance of the building and evid-
ences that it was being well "used by
the Community. He spoke favourably
of CKNX and just from listening to
programs, he felt quite well acquainted
in Windham as he walked down town
and noticed familiar names on the
stores. He felt that Lions should show
more appretiation of their fine station,
He 'Stressed the need of more public-
ity for the work of Lions Clubs in the
papers and felt that local papers should
be kept well informed of Lions activ-
ities. He mentioned the good work be-
ing carried on by Lion Sam Burton
and reported favorable 'comment from
Outside OAS on the generosity it4 Lion
Sam in helping them, He felt that
Lions should take more pride in their
accomplishments, He mentioned the
gift of the flood 'lighting at the park
by the Lions and gave CICIIX 'credit
for letting the Community know of
this good act..
He suggested that Lions should
