they were ready at any time.
A similar communication from W:
Bryden, president of the Huron
Oounty War Auxiliary asking for as-
sistance to buy equipment, Such as
mese tents, field kitchens, etc. Coun-
cillors Binkley and Isbister expressed
their opinions that such aid should
come from the County Council, the
latter stating that it was by far the
most fair way to divide the amount
equally over•the county, and showed
that Wingham had already given
$3000 while his natige township, he
was ashamed to say, had only
given $500, yet the latter yeas worth
considerably more than the town of
Wingham. Reeve Mitchell said he
thougbt the county council had.done
very well insomuch that they had
given $500 more than they were ask-
ed for and he had no doubt would
give more at their next meeting if it
was needed. He said he thought the
officers should be able to tell where
the $2000 already granted bad been
spent. The mayor. said he thought
Wingham would add to their grant
when necessary and the matter :,was
left over for the present.
A communication from the presi-
dent of the Prisoners War Fund. was
left over.
It was not pointed out that the $300
donated to the Ladies Patriotic Soc-
iety 'would be more convenient to both
town treasurer and the ladies if the
money was given to tbe ladies them-
selves instead of them having toego to
the treasurer for it as they needed it.
Moved by Binkley and Gurney that
the balance of the money granted to
to the Patriotic Society be paid over
to the treasurer of the same society. -
Carried.
Mr. August Homuth presented a
petition for a sidewalk from Josephine
St. along Albert and Water Ste. This
petition was not suffteiently signed,
but the council were favorable to
such

the cemetery and a walk along there
was badly needed, Moved by coun-
cillor Tipling and Reeve Mitchell that
the Mayor sign this petition to build a
sidewalk on Albert and Water Street.
-Carried.
A petition was also presented ' by J.
A. MacLean and others asking that a
sewer be laid on Diagcnal Road to
Victoria St.
Moved by Isbi'lter and Patterson
that the petition of August Homuth
and others for a sidewalk and J. A.
MacLean and others for sewer be re-
ferred to the street committee with
power to act. -Carried.
A petition signed by C. 5, Lepard
and others asking for a water main
from Victoria Street to Scott Streets
on Josephine Street be laid. The
council decided tbe proper and best
thing to do would be to lay a 4 inch

end. Moved by Binkley and Gurney
that a hydrant be placed at the corner
of Scott and Josephine Street at the
end of the water main extension. -
Carried.

HURON'S OWN BATTALION
Surely the phrase should stir within
the breast of every man a feeling of
pride and of patriotism in the know-
ledge that in tho day of an Empire's
stress our County has hall the glorious
privilege of forming her own Battalions
A Battalion composed of the sone and
the grandsons of those sturdy old
pioneers, who in years gone by, settl-
ed within the borders of the County
and by the sweat of their brows carv-
ed out the broad acres and laid the
foundation for the unexampled pros-
perity of Huron.
To the sons of • these men -to the
sons and grandsons who have not lis-
tened to the command of King and
Country -I make this appeal.
The Huron Battalion bas been order-
ed to mobilize about May 15th and the
needed 250 men to complete the estab-
lishment of the Battalion must bo
enlisted by the time of m obilization.
This is a direct command of your King
and a command which must be hark-
ened to by every man in the County.
If of military age and physical fitness
your duty is plainly to enlist. If aver
45 years of age your duty can be done
by urging and insisting that the
younger men do tbeir "bit". If under
45 years of age and not physically fit
you can, at least, wear the button -rib-
bon which will be supplied you by the
Medical Examiner of your local De-
tachment, after he has examined you
and given you a certificate of military
unfitness.
This is the last call for men to come
forward, of their own free will, and
to save the County from the stigmas
of reproach in that "she did not do her
duty."
Kitchener says "the last man and
the last shell will win the victory,"
Mayhap your individual enlistment
will be the means of the Allies inevit-
able triumph, Put aside all petty
jealousies and considering only an Em-
pire's need and a County's welfare
come forward and take the place re-
served for you amongst the men who
in the days to come will prove worthy
of a County's pride and of a County's
honor.
The twelfth hour is striking. The
time for your decision has arriv-
ed. The answer must be Aye or Nay.
Will tt be "Ready, Aye Ready!" in the
161st?
