It was the great annual get- together of •rnen in the official life of the county, in this and past years. If there was a serious note sounded in the long list of after-dinner spee- ches it came from "Jock" Scott, ex - reeve of 'Seaforth, and Dr. Hobbs Taylor, M.P.P. for South Huron. Touching on .post-war affairs both envisioned . the day when Huron county towns and villages would again be thriving with industry. They urged decentralization of industry; in face, Dr. Taylor said it was on its way, as it has been in England, and he believed more and cheaper Hydro for this part of Ontario would speed the day. Mr. Scott, former poetlaure- ate ate of the Council, waxed eloquent and found time to inject some of his poetry, Other speakers were Judge Costel- lo, L. E. Cardiff, M.P.; J. W. Hanna, M.P.P.; N. W. Trewartha, Clinton; Wilmot Haacke, George Feagan, S. H. Wiritmore, Tuckersmith; Mayor R. E. Turner of Goderich and Reeve 3. F. Daly, the picturesque gentleman from Seaforth who wears a ten- gallon hat and whose voice does not need a public address systen. In. typical style he spoke Tor the new members. Herb Southcott of Exeter made a hit with his recitations. The musical program and dance music were provided by Alex Nee - 1 Donald, ex -reeve' of Ashfield; Ray - fmond Redmond, Clerk of East Waw- anosh;, Joe Kelly and George James. Presentation of a handsome chair to Warden Watson was made by Reeve Bowman of Brussels, the ad- dress being . read by Reeve George Armstrong of Hay. Changes in County Council ,Rumors were current at last week's County Council meeting that at least six of the sitting members would retire, at the end of the cur- rent year, but only two were prepar- d to declare themselves. These were Reeves Ben Rathwell of, Goderich Township and Georgie Armstrong of Hay. Both are stepping out to allow young aspirant to try his luck at he reeveship, for both look for an election contest in their respective municipalities, Reeve , Rathwell rnas been ten years in Goderich Township Council, the last five as reeve. Reeve Armstrong has been in County Connell eight years and is considered one of the veterans. Re has been war- den ,and has held all the important ehairmanshdps.

Write Soon Walter Considerable interest was evinced in the nomination for the three Trustees • for the Police Village of Bayfield held in the Town Hall on Friday evening last. This is as it should be. Time was during the past few years when so little interest was displayed that the retiring Trustees had to nominate each other for the ensuing year. It takes a question of adding to the beauty of the village to stir up patriotic souls to do their duty. Those nominated were: John E. Howard, George Blair, John Cam- eron, Win. L. Ferguson, Leslie El- liott, Harold Brandon and John Castle. Only three qualified—John Howard, George Blair and John Cameron:—,so an election is not nec- essary. The retiring Trustees are Wm. L. Ferguson, Leslie Elliott and James Robinson. The first two bad served on the board for a number of years and Robinson had held office for two years. John Parker Treaded over the nominations. Mrs. H. K. Ring of Saida and Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Smith, Glen and Maxine of London spent the week end with Mrs. Chas. W. Parker. CIarence Larson returned to Lon- don ,pn Monday.

The decrease in pro - wartime expansion is reflected in the Bank of MontreaI's annual state- ment, issued lately, revealing new highs in practically all departments. Resources have passed the billion - and -a -half mark, and, standing at $1,526,734,000, exceed last year's figure by more than $200,000,000. Deposits, which have increased by $214,937,000 amount to $1,420,811,000 as compared with $1,205,874,000 a year ago. This increase has occur - fits is, no doubt, Ott reflection of the generally lower interest return which is being received by banks upon loans and in investment account, as well as substantially higher operat- ing costs combined with an increas- ed total of interest payable to de- positors upon a substantially higher volume of deposits in the saving de- partment.

Profits taxes estimatocl for the year have been provided for in an amount of $3,725,000, this comparing with an adjusted amount in the previous year of $5,113,194. This adjusted figure of the previous year's taxes is covered in a footnote to the pre- sent statement which explains that "the Minister of Finance has ex- pressed the opinion that the trans- fers made in 1943 to C'ontingent Re- serve Fund from the earnings of this bank were in excess of the reasonable requirements of the bank".
