Brucefield United Church, was held on Monday evening, with Mr. Bill McLaughlin in the chair. The meet- ing was opened by singing a hymn followed by scripture reading by the chairman and prayer by Mr. • Fred Boyce. The topic "Peace and Good will," whose main detail -was the story of a minister who though over exertion at Christmas went to sleep in his study and dreamed of a world without a Christ. This was given by Miss Laura Swan. She went .on to say that .the corning of Jesus pres- aged' the time when men would not take up arms against eaph other. Paul Richter said that Jesus Christ, was "The Holiest among the mighty and the mightiest among the holy." She was given full attention by all. The president, Mr. McLeod, took the chair for business and discussion. As Miss Swan gave . such a complete handling of her subject no discussion was held. The .business included the choosing of character for the Christ- mas play, and practice nights were chcsen. Afterwards some of those who attended the Exeter rally gave a brief, account of the rally. It was moved and seconded that we ask Mr. Taylor of Thanes Road to give a speech next Monday night. It was also moved that next week's meeting be declared an open meeting. Every- body is welcome.

Under inquiries Reeve Cardiff ask- ed how many days were required to pick jurors and was told nine days this year. Ile considered the. time consumed and=the cost too great. Here Reeve 'Goldthorpe explained that in 1932, when he was chairman of a special committee, a resolution had been drafted and carried pro- testing to the Provincial Govern- ment the excessive cost of adminis, tration of justice in Huron County, including the selection of jurors, sal- aries and fees paid crown officers and constables and asking the Gov- ernment to assist in the Maintenance of its own offices in the County building. A clause in the resolution stipulated that copies be sent to the Attorney -General, Col. Price, and to North and South Huron M.L.A: s: These gentlemen never received that resolution, said Mr. Goldthorpe, for he bad written and inquired.

Reeve Cardiff: "I think these things are pigeon -holed" Clerk Holman: "The County Coun- cil has nothing to do with the selec- tion of jurors." A voice: "Just pay the hills." Reeve McKibbon: "Premier Henry and members of his government have repeatedly said they welcomed sug- gestions from County Councils. I don't like the clerk's attitude, that this council has nothing to say. We can make recommendations."

The figure given out at the Goderich . township nominations was an esti-,mate given earlier. But Mr. Bal- lantyno says: "In fairness to Mr. Gibbs, Char- tered Accountant of Stratford, who audited the beaks of the county, i would like to state that his bill, as rendered Nov. 23rd and sent to my home, is for 33,298.56, and not 33,928.78, as stated by Mr. Haaoke at his nomination November 24th. The figure given to 1VIr. Haacke was a rough estimation given me by Mr.. Gibbs when I phoned him' at Mr. Haacke's request. Mr. Gibbs prom- ised at the time to see what eonld bo done to reduce the bill and. this I told Mr. Haacke, saying at the time, that it would probably be around $3,500. Mr. • Gibbs' bill is comprised of professional services with a staff of from two to four, covering five years on the, books: Investigations, etc., 82,750.00; hotel and travelling expenses, $548.56;. total, $3,298.56. 11?.r.

A sentense of two years, less one -day, at the reformatory was substituted.
