But I scan every line that it offers. Each item brings something to view, Through the vista of years, through youth's pleasure and fears, It serves their keen touch to renew. The death of a girl I once courted, The growth of a firm I once peered, The rise of a friend I love to com- mend, The fall of a man I revered. As I read I drift dreamily backward Co the days when to live was a joy, I think I pore, till the city's dull roar Grows faint and again I'm a boy. Rare perfume of green country by- ways, Fair music of flowers and bees, And the quaint little town with streets leading down To the creek and the low -bending trees. Around me the forms of my comrad- es About us earth's glory unfurled, Each heart undefiled, with the faith of a. child, Looking forth to a place in .the world And the paper tells how all have pro- spered. I follow their lives as they flow, Applauding each gain and regretting each pain For the sake of the days long ago. Above all the huge city dailies, With wonderous utterances wise, This scant page hath power to spread for an hour A fairland sweet to my eyed IT WAS A "LONG CRY." You should speak distinctly but not too loud when talking over the telephone. Many people use the tel- ephone as if they had no confidence in its carrying power. A story illus- tratfng this is told by the late Sir James Whitney. Mr. Duff used to shout over the telephone, and one quiet summer's day he was on the phone and his shouting ran along the corridors and disturbed Sir James in hie office. "What on earth is all the racket about" demanded the Premier. "It is Mr. Duff, sir," replied a clerk. "Ho is talking to his wife up in the County of Simcoe," "He is, eh?" remarked Sir James, "Well, why doesn't he use the telephone."

Warden Canmpbell, occupied the chair and in his opening remarks mentioned some matters that would come before the council during the session, concluding by oo.ngratulat- ory reference to the election of ex - Warden Govenlock as member of the Legislature for Centre Huron. Ali members were in attendance except Daiton of Ashfield,' who was detained at home by illness in com- pliance with the advice of his phy- sician. There was a long discussion of the county good roads system, es- pecially with reference to the grouts to urban municipalities for work done on connecting links within their borders. The good roads scheme has not yet got into smooth working order, and the standing of the urban municipalities in the mat- ter of grants appears to ache an es- pecially knotty point, On motion of Messrs, Doig and Crich a resolution was passed ten- dering congratulations to reeve Cxov- eulock, M,P.1?., on his election to the Provincial Legislature, and express- ing the wish that he may be long spared to occupy the position. On the adoption of the resolution the members joined in singing "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow." Mr. Goven- lock replied very briefly, thanking this fellow- councillors fear their ex- pression of good-wilI, On Wednesday morning there was another discussion of good road mat- ters, and a resolution was put thru instructing the county engineer to make a report giviug as nearly as possible the expenditure in each municipality for the present year on the good roads system, also the Pro- vincial grants that should becreceiv on same. The members of the council desire to have this information to present to their constituents at the municipal. nomination meetings. The warden paid a high tribute to Mr. T. Roy Patterson for the en- ergetic and thorough manner in which the engineer's 'Work had been carried. on- Reeve Bailie supplement- ed the remarks of the Warden and ou motion a vote of thanks to Mr. Patterson was passed. The hospital committee ,reported as follows: Afterattending a meet- ing of the Medical Association at Wingham we were impressed with the necessity of better accomodation for the general ;public throughout the county,•' and while favorable to financial assistance being granted to the hospitals yet your committee is of the opinion that we are not pos- sessed of sufficient information . at justify us in making a grant of any set sum, but would'respectfully sug gest that if any . giait be made it would be on a percentage basis ac- cording to -the' acco-i Iodation provid- ed, and your •tomr ttee would res pectfully' suggest the present grants be increased to twice the pres- ent amounts, or until other arrange- ments are made as to any other in- stitution doing similiar work in the interests of the general public thru- out the county.''• The matter of making grants to- wards the county hospital was gone into thoroughly, and while the nec- essity is seen the matter was left over for the Council of 1920. Reeves Armstrong and Cutt mov- ed that -aid be granted to any muni ciptlity in the county `'erecting a monument or a community hall as a war memorial, such aid to be 25 per cent of the expenditure. on such memorial but not to exceed $2000 to any municipality. This was refer- red to the executive committee. The executive later reported adversely on the proposal. The Department of Education had plans well advanced for the form- ation of the proposed new school in- spectorate, to include portions of Huron and Middlesex counties; but the council declined to take any ac- tion towards carrying out the pro- posal. It is felt that with a new Gov- ernment and a new Minister of Edu cation in office the scheme may be dropped. On Thursday afternoon the resig- nation of Mr. Donald Patterson as county engineer was received and ac- cepter' and his son, Mr. T. Roy Pat- terson, was appointed tothe posi- tion. Mr. Patterson, 'the' elder has been in poor health this year, and his son who is a qualified engineer has been taking his place and has proved himself so competent that the council had no hesitation in pla- cing hien in the position so long held by his ' father. th r. Reeve Davis of Goderich • has a proposal before the council for a• change in the name of the county in- stitution at Clinton. Believing, that some stigma attaches to the - name, house . of refuge/' he would call it "the county home for the, aged," or by some other name that would not carry the association that clings to the terms "poor house" and "house of refuge. : The proposal came fore' a committee of the council. At Thursday night's session of the County Council Warden. Newton Campbell was presented with a hand- some gold -headed cane, as a token of esteem: in which he was held by the council. As this was .the last session of the ceuncfl the evening was spent in short speeches, given by scare of. the other members of the council. Reeve Irwin also favored there with. a popular song in his usual good fora[, Reeves Young, Irwin and San- ders also rendered a trio.
