Feagan Named To Post At County Home Appointment Made By Ballot In Committee Of Whole (Council At Closing 'Session Goderich, Nov, 10—George C. •Feagan, warden of Huron county was appointed inspector of the County Home at the concluding sesision of the council on Friday morning. The appointment was made by a ballot in committee a the whole 'council after an amendment "that all applications for the position of +County Home inspector be consid- ered and appointment be made by ballot" The other applicants were B. M. Francis, Exeter; H. M. Han- ley Clinton; W. H, Lobb, Clinton, and J. M. Eckert, McKillop. Mr. 'Feagan secured 18 votes over all. The amendment, introduced by Deputy -Reeve E. D. Brown, was to a motion brought in by Reeves Mc- Neil and Duncan that Mr, Feagan be appointed. Since the death of George Elliott, Mr. Feagan has been acting as inspector without pay, it was pointed out. Reeve N. R. Dorra.nce of McKil- lop thought it inadvisable to ap- point a member of the present council. In his opinion a three- member committee could run the Home, and Reeve Watson of Stanley agreed with him. Reeve R. J. Bowman of Brussel:, a member of the County Home 0010- mittee for four years, favored the appointment of an inspector and a live -man committee, which would meet quarterly and instruct the inspector. He did not agree that the County Home committee should be appointed the same as the county made committee, "which only the fellow with the nicest smile can get on," he added amidst laughter. Opportunities For Younger Men He felt that an opportunity should be given the younger fellows to get an insight into the working of the County Home, Reeve Shaddlck, Hensall, expressed the same view.

An amendment to the amendment "that we do not make the appoint- ment until January," was intro- duced and lost on a division of 25 to 3; and a by-law appointing Mr., Feagan 'was passed. Ljvestcok Is ,Discussed Reeve N. W. Trewarthe, Clinton, launched a lengthy debate on the livestock at the County Home. There issome discussion, he said, In parts of the country regarding the herd. Suggestions have been made that these should include real good milch cows and that the old people should have a larger amount of milk than is given to them. He wondered if it would be possible to keep a few dairy herds along with the other. Membens of the County Home committee spoke highly of .the con- duct of the Home. Chairman Shad - dick announced that one of the best cows had died and Reeve J. H. Scott said that when lie recently visited the farm he had never snen a finer lot of Leghorns than the 150 hens there. "In fact the eggs were so good, one of the hens ate one while we were there." He agreed with Mr. Dorranoe that there were too many hogs there. H. T. Edwards, superintendent of the Children's Aid Society; in an - ewer to a question by Reeve J. H. Scott, explained the method of pro- viding for children when removed from the shelter. They are placed in qualified boarding homes in which there is a superior type of man and woman. There is no diffi- culty in finding these at present. Asked by Reeve L. L. Weir, How - ick, what would be the best thing to do with the house which is awned by the county, Mr. Edwards replied that the question would have to be discussed with the Children's Aid Society, es they own the furni- ture. 'The house is an ordinary residence, never divided into der- ma tortes. ormatories. As there is a scarcity of houses in this locality, Reeve Turner, Gode- rich, thought it might be used. Reports on •Work Mrs. M. Chafee briefly addressed the council on some phases of her work, "the secret of the success of which is understanding.' She warned that the delinquency prob• leu might entail a great deal more work, with fathers away serving in the armed forces, Teaching Safety First Reeves Whitmore and Passmore sponsored a motion instructing Traffic Officer Norman Lever to give instructions to teachers and pupils 011 safety (lust, The children taking part in the public speaking contests will be the BRUSSELS DAIRY BAR MONUMENTS High-class Workmanship Designs that are different W.

In the morning he chose as his subject "The Success of Loneliness" basing his sermon on these words from Bt. John "Behold the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone; and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me." He brought out the idea that the human soul can be fittingly measured by the thoughts of the individual. Turning to ,he war he said that people were ques- tioning (he reason for this war and God was blamed. ,But, he asked, consider these same individuals In their neglect of the House pf God. He deplored the greatest sin of to- day, the lack of interest in the church and ,the fact that when at- tractions of the world take the place of Ohrist and His church, the indiv- idual is lost. "The Handwriting on the ''Wall" based on the story of the feast of ;Belshazzar was his evening topic, his text being found in Daniel 5:23 which translated reads "Weighed in the balance and found wanting," He spoke of Belshazzar's worldly wealth but he forgot that he was but a steward of his earthly possessions and that he did not recognize Got as supreme. He visualized the en- actment of the scene, the appear- ance of the hand and the calling in of Daniel to interpret its meaning. And his kingdom fell. This was the result of sin long ago. The speaker next dealt with the result et sin in modern days, he - seedling his hearers to take a less.m from Belshazzar's experience. The same God rules today and we may be sure the same God will topple over our kingdom if we cease to pay Him homage, he said, Each Must, explain his actions and what will the judgment be Then, there 18 respon5sibility according to talents. 0'f one thing we are sure, said Mr. McRae, the best Will be none loo good.

Yet they can make bullets and the ger ernment must have their service even though they pay .extravagant wages to have them dd so. These sordid souls must be got into the service of the country.
