THE 'CLINTON NEWS -RECORD EIowick Councillor Objects To Wartime Road Expenditures , In the following letter to our paper E. H. Strong of Howick takes County Council to task for capital expendir ture on roads in Wartime. R.R. No. 2, Gorrie, Ont, To the Editor of the Clinton News - Record. At this critical time in our eoun- try's life, when' all that we hold dear, freedom, liberty and the right to say and do as we will within just limits are at stake and when we have been told by all the leading men of our country both public and .private that every dollar is and will. be needed to Oa the war, and when each and everyone has been asked to sacrifice and save in every possible way and invest in War Savings Certificates. Also all municipal authorities: have been asked and warned to cut expend- itures and thus help the war effort in every possible way,' During the past year what support has our County Council given us as an. example of leadership to the municipalities within :the County and to our citizens' In the first 9 months of 1941 they spent on maintenance of the County Roads $65,847.23, our present roads must of course be kept in good condition if at all possible. On construction they "spent $63,668.98, $12,625,83 of which was used in wid- ening, cutting and streamlining the road north of Brussels. Thi was a gravel road and in good condition which with proper maintenance suck as gravel and dragging would of car- ried all the traffic which will go oyer it in these years of war, as it has no military significance. $23,358:54 was spent on road No. 3 Tuckersmith and the balance in various places through- out the County. Tlfe Road Commis- sion or. the County Engineer' also bought new machinery at a cost ofi When our men from this County are offering their lives and some have already paid the u • m Y supreme a sacrifice for us, are the County Council not willing to sacrifice, their pet road progilem? Last summer we are all Asked to cut out all unnecessary driving and save gas. Did the County back up the gas saving 'campaign? No. Did they cut their road expenditures to save money for the war effort? No. Did they set en example of leadership in their County in a genuine, win the war effort, when they allowed this expen- sive, extravagant road program to be carried out? No. I submit, Mr. Editor, by their actions, this past gear, they have extensively injured our War Savings Campaign, and they are pointed to, by large number of rate- payers, whom I have interviewed, who ask why should I sacrifice or save when the County keeps on building roads like the one north of Brussels, which is not needed. Who are we helping, Churchill or Hitler? As one of the leading Counties of the Province I would strongly urge our County Council to discontinue road construction for the duration of the war and that the money thus sav- ed be used for the purchase of planes, tanks, guns or other war materials or to reduce the tax rate accordingly that the residents of this country may put more into War Savings Stamps. and ,Cer•tifieates. By doing so they would sot a worthy example of lead- ership, patriotism and sacrifice and thus make a real 100% war effort. I might add that the council of the Township. of Howicic of which I ani a member, have not constructed any roads for the past two years, just maintenance and repair : work is car- ried on. Thanking you for your valuable space I am Yours Sincerely, E. H. STRONG. v Red Shield The first meeting of the year, with 24 members present, Was held at Mrs. Churchill's home.

FALCONER Gun Sprays Paraffin ,New Invention Iieips Britain's Aircraft Output • British engineers have invented a new and more efficient way to wash engineering parts, particularly on the aircraft side, It is Et, compact and self-contained unit from which oil is sprayed from a pistol -type gun. Metal parts needing :cleaning are usually dipped in tanks of paraffin oil, or some other solvent, a process which dirties the paraffin. By the new method, the dirt is separated from the parraffin which is contin- ously filtered by a centrifugal clari- fier. The mental parts are put on a per- forated table and washed • with the sp=ray gun. The used paraffin oil drainq through the perforations and a strainer to one compartment of a paraffin supply tank, coupled to the centrifugal clarifier. The paraffin is pumped to the clarifier purified and returned by way of the tank and -a high-pressare centrifugal pump to the spray gun. The feature of this cleaning unit, which can easily be carried from one. part of the factory to another, is that the impurities are never allowed to accumulate in the paraffin which can be used over and over again. •V Huron County Council Has Three New Members With.
