In hospitals and laboratories where intricate electrical
life-saving equipment is grasped by skilful hands,
there are few to see the miracles wrought.
And too, there are few who realize that the heart-beats of
electrical power, pulsating over many miles of
wire arteries, are watched with such constant care in order that it may
unfailingly serve the lives of folk in our neighbourhood.
When Hydro service extends a willing hand to the
saving of life and assists in attaining a higher level
of liming, it kindles new hope in our hearts and minds,
We are proud of the part we play in making available to
Wingham Utilities Commission 'the miraculous service of electricity.

The Advance-Times learns from
close aiends of' Ex-Mayor George
Spotton, that he has finally acceded
to continuous pressure from all parts
of the Riding of North Huron, that he
offer himself as a Candidate in the
coming by-election, It has been im-
pressed upon him that when the Pro-
gressive movement was at its height,
he ran neck and neck With the late
J. W, King, i.t'being so close, that on
the recount, Mr. Spotton was given
the seat by the County Judge, but
this was reversed by a High Court
Judge. He has thrown his hat in the
ring, and, those who know him, know
he will go in after it, regardless of the
results, Apparently his friends feel
that since the Conservative Party will
have no permanent leader, and no new
platform, until the Winnipeg Conven-
tion on October 11th., that there is
no time to he lost.

A few days ago Prof. Robert Laird

High School and gave the students a
brief but inspiring address on "Edu-

that' it was a deplorable fact that
Canadian students did not have the
patience which characterized the stud-

great haste to push on to the higher
classes before the work in the junior
elasses was thoroughly mastered.

GODERICH RATE
UP SEVEN MILLS
Town Council at a special meeting
on Monday, April 28th., approved a
recommendation of a committee of
the whole council that a tax rate of
57 mills on the dollar be set for
Public and Separate School' support-
ers for 1952 and that the finance
committee be requested to prepare a
detailed statement of receipts and
expenditures,
Seven Mill Increase
This represents an increase of seven
mills over last year's 50-mill rate.
Items chiefly responsible for the add-
ed expenditures are said to be about
2Y2 mills each for the levy on the
new Collegiate and the construction
of the road to the north side of the
harbor, which will be paid for out of
current revenues, half the cost being
met by the Ontario Department of
Highways,
Lesser items accounting for the
increase are said to be: approximately
one mill increase in the Public School
levy; about three-quarters of a mill
to meet the 1951 operating deficit of
Alexandra Hospital and an additional
mill on the county levy.
While the county levy of nine mills
is the same as for 1951, the equalized
assessment on which it is based has
been increased. Last year" it was
$4,321,518. This year it is $4,767,283,
an increase of $445,765. That is,
approximately a million the town
assessment.
Basic salary raises to the town hall
staff effective May 1 are, Clerk S. H,
Blake, $300 a year; assessor and tax
collector, 0. W. Sturdy, $200; Miss
W. Black $100; Miss M. Mackay $100.
