"THERE IS A. WRONG 17iiPRES-
' SION ABROAD"
Among some People there is an im-
pression that it is the duty of the
Government to furnish funds to in•
duoe men to enlist rand,to alids recruit -
This is not correct, enlistment is
voluntary on the part of the indivi-
dual end. the Government's respond.
Wily begins when the man hes en-
listed. From that moment the re-
cruit is taken care of by the govern-
ment, I provided with clothing, 'equip-
ment, living allowance, and pay ac-
cording to rank.
All over Canada (Recruiting Leagues
have'been organized by citizens, meet-
ings 'are 'bein,g held, literature dis-
tributed, in tact, an. energetic . cant -
paten to 'aid recruiting.' 'C.'.y, town
and county councils have made liberal
grants to Recruiting Leagues for the
purpose of assisting them financially
in their patriotic work. The govern-
ment
overnment has asked and authorized the
military officers of Huron county to
raise a complete Battalion. This can
be done, but it will need the assis-
tance of 'every patriotic person in the
county.
Lord Kitchener's plan is to keep
the British :Army in vigorous power
and strength, while the enemy's for-
ces
orces are 'becoming exhausted.

elected. Mr. Day 'failed toqualify as
councillor leaving Jl ind:, Merton, Bea-
vers and Roulston as members of the
Council, Board.
, The meeting was adjourned to the
evening when the olerk, Ma•.t Jos.
Senior, was elected; to the chair. 'The
menibens of the council were invited
to seats on the platform
Reeve J: W. Taylor was first called
upon to a speak and he (reviewed the
financial statement. He stated that
debentures to the amount of a $17,059.48
had been sold and that there was a
balance on hand, to the credit of this
fund of $6276.15. The' balance due the
school beard was $3943.60 making a
total indebtedness of $10,219 75. The
cash:. balance on h''and is $9,466.47
leaving a deficit Of $753.28. The s'e-
du'ction of the deficit during the past
year w'as $1384.92.
The try-latw in reference to the Per
petuel Cemetery Fund i bad 'been
amended so that now instead of leav-
ing the money on deposit in 'a eller-
tested bank it could be invested in
Dominion Govt. bonds: Ontario Govt.
'bonds, Municipal bonds, or first\mort-
gage on farm property., The fund
which is now nearly $5000 had been
invested in the liyd.ro debentures.
Councillor Hind was the next to
( speak. He reminded the ratepayers
that two years ago the town was in
debt about $7000 but this h'ad been
reduced to a little aver' seven bundred
dollars. He figured out that th'e pre-
sent water works system was self-
sustaining. In reference to hydro he
stated that the people had voted in
favor of the by-law and if the citizens
want to m'a'ke it a paying proposi-
tien they must come to •the support
of the •council and get connected •up
with it.' He spoke of the .ornamental
system as proposed for Main street
and the more the had studied 'the un-
derground'system as proposed the
moan he was opposed to it and he
believed the majority were satisfied
that the petition had been turned
down:
+
I The next to be allied ;on was Coun-
cillor Beavers, Iia spoke of grading
and oiling Main streets After con-
sidering the matter the 'Road Cam.
decided that Main street should be
properly -graded and oiled which ,was
done and the dust nuisance abated
24 hours a day and 7 days a week.
He thought all would, agree that it
was a good thing.The cost of lay-
ing the dust was about $508.00 and
the amount collected for street water-
ing
watering Was $530,._
As chairman .of the fire and light
cora. be said that few ,.had any idea of
the amount of Work represented in
bringing a the :hydro system up to the
present.' Ile thinks hydro should be
here by 2,Firch but at present they
are being held up for illuntin wire.
The lights on Main street would pro-
bably be 250 watt lamps while those
on the back streets would be 100
watt lamps, . He said that every
house must be inspected and advised
those not already wired to get wired
up and help boost the thing along,
Last fall the council voted $1000 'for
a machine gun but had neves been
oalled upon folr the amount.t; Mr.
Beavers stated that he had ,been ur-
ged to stand for reeve but he 'felt
that it Would' be selfish' .of him to put
the town to the ,expense of ,an Ialec-
tion4 He Loped next year to be' a
candidate for the treeveship.
Councillor (Roulston was next call-
ed on and spoke of ,the (work. of the
