forth. The County council, which is
to meet this week, will receive a re -
pert from the roads committee on the
matter, and it is probable that some
effort may be made to have the work
of road improvement in this county
started at an early dale to provide em-
ployment for returning soldiers.

At least one appointment will have
to be made by the County Council
this session. A manager for the House
of Refuge at Clinton will have to be
named to succeed John Brown, who,
after three years of otlice, succumbed
a few days ago to a lingering illness.
Mr. Brown was formerly a well-known
farmer of Stephen Township, and the
funeral was held from Exeter. William
Brown and Dean Brown, farmers, near -
Grand Bend, are sons.
Since the opening of the Huron
County children's shelter, in charge of
the Children's Aid Society, eight child-
ren have had temporary homes here.
Two have already been placed in foster
homes and the others are still in the
shelter. Four of those were made
wards by magistrates and came from
widely different parts of the county.
The benefit of the home, which was
recently opened, was remarked on by
members of the Children's Aid Society

t in the matter of county
roads has been reawakened here by the
announcement that work on national
highway:: construction would com-
menceeat once. Huron will likely have
about 75 miles of highways under the
Government plan, the roads from Exe-
ter to Wingham and Goderich to Sea -
forth. The County council, which is
to meet this week, will receive a re -
pert from the roads committee on the
matter, and it is probable that some
effort may be made to have the work
of road improvement in this county
started at an early dale to provide em-
ployment for returning soldiers.
