We notice in the report of the
i proceedings of Huron County Council
!that a motion brought in by. Reeve
Taylor of Exeter, seconded by Mr.
Lobb, asking for a grant of $1,000 to-
wa
rd,proddingField a FiKitchen for
the use of the 33rd Regiment, was'
turned down in committee on the
ermine, or rather the assumption that
the 33rd Regiment was practically nil.
This assumption is ridiculous in the
iextreme and was put forward eimply
a. an excuse to avoid or kill the ,na-
tion. The 33rd is in trainingat Lou-
den in large numbers and 'while they
Iare a military division to seine ex-
tent there is no reason whatever that
they shculd be turned down front • this
standpoint, or in fact any other, as
they and their associates all ,..,
o to
champion the one great cause, and
tight in the one great battle,and to
withhold support on this ground is a
very poor excuse, We are beginning
to thine that Huron Council a cote-
;reset!
oinposed to a great extent of an nngr'at
fel anc' inconsiderate bunch of men,
who are not worthy of 'filling the
positions theyoccupy, when they can
feel justified in turning down a no-
tion set worthy of sympathy ;and sup-
port as that referred to. It seems
to us that since this present war
broke out that there has been more
cheese -paring and narrow-minded
niggardliness displayed by Huron
County Council when dealing with
matter:, brought before them for
grant:• of the above nature, than be-'
comes a public body of men .icing
the business of such a worthy people
as that of the County of Huron. It
has been said -and that too we think
aright -that many of the Huron
c'frome
County Council have .un to
time let their political bias eaterfere
witl, their better judgment.
