E. Gammage BRUSSELS, ONT. Huron County Council (Continued from Page 2) ed a similar request, and the matter was laid before the Highways Advis- ory Board in 1928, and advice from the Department is being awaited.'' With regard to several motions re several motions re certain lights on county roads, the commission recom mended that consideration be given these matters after the commission had hand an opportunity to exam- ine the situations. Another recom- mendation was that a communica- tion be sent to the advisory board of the Department of Highways re- questing a report on the matters placed before it in September last. The commission asked approval of a new system for the payment of accounts, whereby Miss Tye should be appointed treasurer for the Co. Road Commission and the county ' treasurer should pay over to the commission the funds in lump sums, as the accounts were passed. Thos procedure, it was claimed, would eli- minate a great deal of unnecessary work and permit the payment of ac- counts at an earlier Case. This clause of the report, however, was not concurred in, .the remainder of the report being adopted. REPORT RE INDIGENT CASES IN HOSPITALS And Other Matters Referred to a Special Committee in December The Committee appointed to en- quire into matters referred to by te,e Warden at the December meeting of the County Council presented its re- port. From investigation we find," says this report, "that the present legis- lation regarding the admission of in- digents to hospital treatment free is being greatly abused and lacks very much in the necessary machinery to insure fair enforcement; that it tends towards pauperising those who would otherwise disdain to rolst them selves on the charity of others, many of whom are not so well able to pay as they are themselves, hut in many cases they aro not apprised of the position they are placed in by those too intent upon a sure collect- ion of fees, for we believe the word indigent is rather flippantly used and that the patient is so classed without proper evidence." To guard against the abuse of a well -meant privilege of relief the committee suggested (1) tht pre- cautionaiy measures such as are em- ployed in the admission of cases to the county house of refuge be ap- plied to all who seek the public char- ity of free maintenance in hospitalt; (2) that such cases Should under no account be admitted under any doc- tor's or their own recommendation, but such be subject to the enquiry and judgment of a board, composed of the' Reeve of each municipality and the medical health officer or such other person as the municipality may appoint to pass upon the financier, need and as to whether the case should not be provided for in our own hospitals (extra hazardous cases requiring immediate action to be considered exceptions and these to be sent to our own hospitals); (8) that all indigent eases except those suffering from tubercular trouble should be sent to our county hospit- als and that the county be in no sense held responsible for non-resid- ents in any hospital or for those sent to outside hospitals except by the county's recommandation. It was also recommended that the former rnethoed of assessing the charge j' Ill tIL tf � Brussels Horticultural Society Premium List •1•1•1•1•, MEMBERS ARE ENTITLED TO THREE (8) CHOICP:i; CHOICE 1—One Norway Spruce or One Grape Vine, " 2—One Rose ---Hybrid Perpetual—Frau Karl Druscltki (W) ; George Arendt; (P); Hugh Dickson (C); Mrs, Trio, hang (P); Ophelia (P); Sunburst (Y); Hardy Climbing; Paul's o ' Scarlet (S); Van Fleet (P). 8 ---One Peony (Red, White or Pink), 4—One Buddleia (Butterfly Bush). 5--OneSpirea (Van Houttie). 6—Five Packets Vegetable and Five Packets Flower Seeds. 7—One Hydrangea (Panieulata), rt THE aoU$$E$ $ first upon the lacus municipality from which .the patient ds admitted, be restored and that remedial legis- latien `be granted counties or the ntunleipalltios concerned to give them power •to proceed against any party or parties to recover damages where anaintenerice in hospitals has been obtained by false statements either by the patients themselves or by those securing their admission, Commitments to Industrial Sahoole The committee also urged the pas- sage of legisietion regarding the ad- mission of incorrigibles or those ,to called to industrial schools, so: that the Reeve or members of the local council should be consulted; also that' in all cases the parents or guardians should be compelled to maintain such cases instead of the chs' ge being assessed against the county; that the school should be compelled to keep a record of the whereabouts of the parents or guardians, and when the parents or guardians 'removed from tike county tht county should cease to have any respbneibility. a lf1 mtenance of Provincial Offices„ With reference to the maintenance of offices by the county, the commit- tee sought to "assert the principle or Procedure that the county should not be ,responsible for the upkeep of any office which is not serving the county that if the county provides the office, tthe heat, light, water, caretaking and general equipment, the Province which receives the revenue and ap- points the officer should pay for the necessaries used in the performance of the duties of the office, such as blanks, paper, ink, telephoning, etc. Stenographic Service. "The committee has decided after much investigation as to the pro- cedure in other counties that the stenographer service rendered in the county is very much out of date asst unsatisfactory, some offices in the court house having too much assist- ance and some having none at all, and that there should be an' adjust- ment of the same Iooking to a more systematic system being employed, where the service will be paid for by the party or office receiving the ser- vice and the county shall only be re- sponsible for services rendered for which it is liable to pay." In order to bring about a more satisfactory service in these respects the committee recommended that the legislature committee of the council take the matter up with the inspect or of legal offices, the county judge, the county solicitor and the other of- ficers concerned with the idea of making an arrangement to prevent duplication and much unnecessary expenditure of county funds, and that any stenographer employed for county purposes be appointed by by law and the duties fully defined. Payment of Accounts. The committee further suggested that no accounts be paid unless the same be signed or approved or an order issued for the same by the Warden, and that all accounts of a doubtful chracter be tsubmitted to the county solicitor for his opinion as to the county's liability. Regarding Children's Shelter ac- counts, the committee recommended that they be audited and paid quar- terly in the same manner as gaol and house of refuge accounts, the present system of monthly payment entailing too much unnecessary trouble and too many meetings. L. C. A, Officer. Finally, the committee advocated the appointment of an officer to en- force the Liquor Control Act in this county. A .very considerable sum had been lost to the county by the present method of having prosecut- ions under the Act handled by a Pro- vincial officer, as under this method the fines want to the Province. In the pant year the police magistrate had sent to the Provincial Treasurer $620, about ninety per cent. of whiii was under the L. C. Act., or' about $525 which should have come to the ounty. The appointment of a county officer would not only mean additional revenue to the county but, would tend to more l:,f°ective en- Cereeiuent of the Act by Navies; an additional officer on the job.

A .LETTER FROM (Continued from Page 1) escorted through the •place by a guide who explains the different de- partments, We were allowed to watch from the safe distance of a gallery, the printing of postage stamps and paper money. 1 rather expected to have been handed a sheet of stamps or a $20.00 bill as a souvenir, but, as our party was large, I expert it would have meant too much of an out lay even for a wealthy nation like the United States. The Government Printing Office is a hive of industry, cith its 4100 employees. It took us 13i hours to be shown through the place and have the various phases of the work ex- plained to us. This place stands out in my memory as the first poli ie building I have visited in whie'h t had not seen from one to several pictures or statues of George Wash- ington or Abraham Lincoln. The place of honor is given so Benjamin Franklin. Other places of interest and edu cation are the Corcoran Alt Gal- lery; the Museums; Smithsonian In- stitute (the gift of an English- man); the U. S. Treasurey; Red Cross building; Pan-American Union Memorial Continental Hall; new Post Office.; and the new Union station, erected at a cost of $18,000- 000 and said to be the finest railway station in the world. I must not forget the White House which from the time of John Adams has been the home of the Presidents. Washington selected its site and laid the corner stone in 1792. And he and his wife inspected the finish- ed building in 1799. The structure is of Virginia free -stone. It was fired by the British in 1814, only the walls being left standing. The restored exterior was then painted white to obliterate the marks of the fire. The Washington Cathedral being erected by the Episcopal Church, was started twenty years ago, and is not nearly completed yet. It is being built for the Nation, as St, Peni's and Westminster in England. I at- tended service in one of its chapels in which were laid to rest the re- mains of President Wilson and Ad- miral Dewey. Indicative of the Nation's estima- tion of its founder, the Washington monument towers to a height of 555 feet. It is 55 feet square at its base 34 feet at the top and termin- ates in a pyramid of pure aluminum. The foundation of rock and cemeet is 36 feet deep and 126 feet square. It is the highest work or masonry in the world. Across Tidal Basin, and mirrored in its placid surface, stands the Lin- : cola Memorial. It is modeled after a classic Greek Temple and presents a very chaste and beautifuly appear- ance, a fitting testimony to the char- acter o ftho man in whose honor it was raised. Just across tht' Potomac, in Vir-• ginia, is the Arlington National Cemetery. The estate was formerly owned by General Lee of Civil War fame. In it is the Memorial Ampi- .heatre, a white marble building with a seating capacity of 5,000 in the I ainpitheatre proper and several thou - ands more "its the colonades. It was built in honor of the dead oeoes of the nation. In this come- few years ago, I am told, Alen, dria was the most finished city in the country. It had ceased to grow. I know another place like that, 1t is in Canada. George Washington inherited the estate of Mount Vernon frons Law- erence Washington, his half-brother. It then comprised 5000 acres, to which he added 3000 acres, making 8090 acres in all. It is most pictur- esquely situated upon the southern shore of the Potomac, and from the front porch of the Mansion, a won- derful view of its broad expanse can be seen for some miles up stream. At Martha Washington's death, scarcely two years after her illust- rious husband's, the estate descend ed to a nephew, and the furniture to four gmandehildren. Taus were things scattered, Some years ago, about 300 acres were bought back by the D. A. 1t. who set to work to restore the place as much as possible to its former con- dition, The buildings and grounds were repaired and today Mrs, Wash- ington's box -bordered flower beds are to be seen looking just as she left. them. The Mansion itself is a large white building with a colonial porch sup. ported by large pillars extending a- cross the entire front. The stone for the floor of the porch was brought over from England. There are 18 rooms 6 on each floor. On the first floor are a parlor, music room, fain ily dining room, Mrs. Washington's sittingroom, the Library and a large banqueting room. The next two floor's are divided into bedrooms -6 on each floor. So the Washington's must have kept open house in those good old hospitable colonial days. The kitchen and servants quarters were separate from the house. The Mansion today is completelycompletelyfurnished with the original furne.h- ings bought back, donated or loaned or with furnishings contemporaneo're with that period. Space will net permit me to dwell upon any detailed description of the place. A peaceful, lovely spirit seems to brood over the place. One feels so far removed from the pre- _ sent day grind after the material things of life, which this generation seems to think is so necessary to hap. piness. Following a walk leading from the mansion to the little wharf, we come upon another walk leading in another direction. Following it eve cone to a quiet, shady spot just 'g- low a little hill which hides its view from the Mansion. Here in a simple I tomb, just inside the iron gates lie in marble sarcopaghi the remains of the idol of his country, George Wash ington, and his wife, Martha Cast's :Washington. inside the tomb and surrounding it, and the remains of the members of the family and ren I Ia 12—Three Begonias (Assorted colors) 13—Ten Gladioli, : h Custom Sawlng • Wilt be dome aS usual this Spring et the Walton Saw Mill JNO McDONALD 14—Two named Gladioli—Any two of the following; Herada' Perfection. l 15—One Delphenimn, s " 16—One Anemone Japonica (Japanese Anemone) 't n Red Emperor; Golden Measure; Bryon L.

As the boats re not running at this season of the ear, t he 14 mile trip had to be natio by trolley. On our way we nosed through the old town of lexandria and saw the old church where Washington and his family lits guests used to worship. relit pri LIST MUST BE RETURNED BY MARCIi ist alaia Any choice from 3 to 16 may be duplicatedy f Extra Roses, Bulbs, Shrubs, Ithododentlrous, Dutchman's Pipe, will be supplied at cost. p A WEDNESDAY 18th, 0 succeeding generations who lived there, 1 Last Sunday evening it was pri- viiage to meet and listen to Rev. Geo. McNeal, pastor of City Road Temple (John Wesley's church) ill London, England. in the course of his remarks, he said that the United States was destined to become trio greatest nation in the world. Now that seemed et first to be a strong statement to come from the lips of u son of the Great British Empire, nia on whose shores the sun never sets, and the greatest Empire the world has yet known. But in the history of the world, nations rise and wane, no matter how great, One genera- tion of great men and women sueetuls another; every one in its time and according to the needs of the world. Who shall say that this country shall not take first place in the near future. j The American nation has been wonderfully progressive and sues' essful and they are a great-hearted people, giving of their abundance with an open hand to any need. Its national life is builded upon the foundations of some of the best fam- ilies from the British Isles, who had faith and courage enough to emigra- te to a new country in order to bet- ter their conditions. The. chief corner -stone of that foundation is George Washington, God-fearing Englishman gentleman, "first in war—first in peace, and first in the hearts of his country- men. " Upon this has beeen placed the lives of some of the greatest (and some of the worst) of all the nations of the earth, who have soueht this land in order to be free to make the best of their lives, unfettered by customs and traditions of the osis lands. As cousins, we'll forget the old family feud which is out dated any- way and wish them well. As Canadians with our proud heri- tage of birth, and wonderful vine country just filled with resources, not yet dreamed of by many, we know that some day, if we use our birth- right es God intended we should, we shall be a great nation . But we are just in our infancy yet. But just watch us grow one of th,'se times. We notice with some alarm bore, the wholesale breaking of a couple of the Commandments. There seam to be greater numbers of people a- round the movie doors on Sunday evenings, than around church doors. I have not visited the former on Sunday's but find the churches not too well filled as they are in our Canadian cities. Then there is the growing divorce question. It would seem to a stranger here that people are either happily married or divorced.
