And, after a little mental arithmetic, they estimated that those trees, if planted according to forestry prin- ciples, would cover aa aro of 1,000 acres—about five square ir�iles — in extent. Number Changes Coincident with the distribution of he new telephone . directory about he middle of ,December, a number i' changes are being 'anade in two-, arty line numbers in Stratford, God - rich, Astwood, Clinton,; Listowel, Mit- hell, St. Marys and Seaforth, The majority of these revisions have been ,made necessary by the hange of all "F" party line numbers o "R". Some confusion has result - in the past from the similarity f the letter' "F" ,to another party ine letter "M". The more common P line letters "W" and "J", are very easily distinguished by the op- rator and it hoped that the press ant; change of "F" to "R" will elfin - late all confusion of party line num - era, and lessen the: wrong number nuisance. Recent changes hi the layout of the Bell plant in Mitchell and in part of Stratford have also necessitated hinges in some two-party line winn- ers. DOINGS AT` COUNTY COUNCIL Pensions Board Under Fire DELEGATION SEEIN. PAVING BLUE WATER HIGHWAY Delegates from Goderich, Meafords Owen Sound, Collingwood, Wiarton, Toberrnory and other' centres of the Blue Water highway joined a Sarnia delegation at Toronto Tuesday' moror, ing for an interview with Hon. T. B. McQuesten, minister of highways, de- signed to impress upon the gov- ernment the desirability of its taking over the southern end of, the highway from Sarnia to Ravenwood. The decision to wait upon the min- ister was reached at the annual meet- ing. of the `Association, held recently at Owen, Sound. A large section of the Blue Water highway was taken over by the On- tario government several years ago and much of it is paved, but the section from Sarnia 30 miles north still remains county road for the most part. Since completion of the. Blue Water bridge interest in the associa- tion has increased enormously and the northern communities in particu- lar are reported to be aut{ious for an allpaved road leading from Sarnia In- to the Bruce Peninsula. The Ontario old age pensions and Mothers' allowances :board. was under ire of County Council when the re si •natio of J Bowman, Brussels, g n R frons the Huron board, came up for disposal. Although Mr. Bowman was prevailed upon to finish out the cur- rent year, he was emphatic that he was "fed up"and "through". "If we are not ' supposed to in - .. applications what good are We?a. asked Mr. Bowman, ,referring o the county board set up at the beginning of this year. "One application on which the local board reported `no action' was sent to the department at Toronto. With in a month this same applicant was getting the full pension of $20 a month", continued Mr. Bowman, add- ing that in other cases where $12 and $15 a month pensions was recommend- ed, the full $20 a month was granted. "I ask you, who is in the best position to know the true circum- stances, the member of the local board who has lived in the neighbor -- mod of the applicant, or an investi- gator," he asked. "There is no use going on this way." Mr. Bowman also said members were using their cars, getting noth- ing for them. They had been told not to investigate, to take their in- formation from ,municipal . clerks, contained on iapplieation forms, but these were bften incomplete. "Some clerks think that because the county is not paying any of the pension the applicant might just as well get the full pension. I don't think you men want that.. The Provincial Government was milted that (investigations . made by the county old age pension and. moth- ers' allowances board be accepted by the provincial department without further• investigation and pensions and allowances be issued accordingly, Thia notion.. was sent to conunittee. Cattle Exports A. wonderful potential market in England for Huron ' County baby beeves, weighing 750 to 850 pounds, was visioned by Agricultaral Rep- resentative Shearer. Such cattle slaughtered in Toronto. were already being sold in the fresh meat markets in England at top prices, he said. He predicted that 20,000 such beasts front Huron might be shipped over- seas next year owing to improved refrigeration facilities. There are 115,000 head of cattle in Huron County, he said. Mr. Shearer also announced that a movement had been instituted bring the international plowing match to Huron County in 1040. county in .thei.r own interests, with mush duplication and much petty in- vestigation. Reeve E D. Brown .sugggsted the abolition of the county constable system and the engaging of two or three trained constablese .and Reeve Peter Scott suggested the dismissal of all 29 county constables and the rehiring of eight of the best of them, Cost of the administration of jus- tice in Huron county rose from $8,000 in 1924 to $21,000 this year, Mr. McNeil said. To Reduce Justice Costs Ihiron County Council will shortly send a delegation of three, headed by Warden W. Heacice, to interview. Attorney General Gordon Conant, seeking a change in the method of appointing county constables with view to reducing the cost of admin- istration of justice. This action Was taken by Reeve George McNa11, of Blyth, with a sheaf of constables accounts representing. $2,000, in his hand, had addressed council at lengthy declaring that some county constables had commercializ- ed their jobs and made them a "racket". "Here's an account for $2 for stop- ping boys from taking bull frogs out of a mill pond. Here's •another for $9.13 for! trying to find the person who smashed a 55 -cent traffic lant- ern. Here's another for $6 for .taking an old lady to the house•' of refuge at Clinton^ from Goderich, 1b miles. Na wonder our backs are bent under the heavy load of taxation," he said. "These abuses have been increas- ing as the years roll by and some- thing should be done to put a stop to it," said . Reeve Robert Turner, fernier member of the Criminal Aud- it Board. It was the system of appointing constables that was at fault, air. Mc - Nell said,, As Pitwas now, county ,constables were simply policing the OBITUARY Mrs. Alex Haddy The tragic passing of Mrs. Alex. Haddy,_ whose death occurred in Stratford Hospital Last Thursday morning came as a distinct shock to the residents of the town. Expressions of sympathy and offers of assistance were numberless, attesting to the high esteem in which Mrs. Haddy was held. Although having been a resident here for only four years she had made many. friends and the sympathy of the com- munity is with the bereaved family. Mrs. Haddy was born in' Bowman - vine. ' She leaves two sons, Wesley and Donald, and is also, survived by her husband, her mother, a sister Helen (Mrs. 0. Metcalf), Montreal, and a brother, Allen of Bowman- ville. Rev. Andrew Lane conducted the funeral service at her late residence, Rattenbury street, on Saturday morn- ing orning after which 'the remains were taken to Bowmanville for interment. There were many beautiful floral tributes and as the casket was car- ried to the hearse the Wolf Cubs formed a guard' of honour and stood at salute in sympathy with their bereaved comrade, Donald. Tl',iosewho acted as pallbearers were G. M. Counter, A. M. Knight, D. C. Mc- Neill, J. J. Zap£e, Dr. H. A. Mc- Intyre and G. A. Walker Death by accident has dealt sever- ely with the Knight family. Mrs.. Haddy's father, J. W. Knight, was killed in a motor 'accident on Ontario street, Bowmanville in October 1935, and many years ago Mr. Knight's two sisters were killed when struck by a Grand Trunk train at the Lake- shore crossing on the road to Bow- manville Beach. • Reeve J. H, :Scott, of Seaforth, and Reeve McNeil,' of Blyth, are the two others who will go to Toronto to see the attorney general. They claim that under present law County Count cil has not control in •appointment of county constables. Reforestation A section of the agiicoltural com- mittee's report on reforestation reads: "We feel.that the public is not ready to support the proposal yet, except locally, in the various municipalities where the newly planted forests may be distributed throughout the county. We recommend that owners of prop- erties unfitted for agricultural purp- oses be encouraged to take advantage of the department of forestry's offer of free trees for planting." Equalization All rural nrutlieipalitles and the Tovn of Seaforth have so far been revalued for equalization purpose, H. G. Mogg, of Mogg & Quinlan, valua- tors, told council. No figures were given and none will be ready until the January session, council was told. The assessment is entirely independ- ent of 'all. that have gone before and is intended to form a foundation for future years, Mr.' Mogg said. Some properties werevisited twice and some three times, it was stated, as the intricate method of arriving at a valuation was explained. E. G. Jarmaine, oP the department of municipal affairs, spoke on ac- eeunting methods and strongly advis- ed setting up of a new system of bookkeeping at the County Home for the Aged, so that the cost per inmate per diem might be determined as a basis for the rate charged paying patients. It also is necessary in case of ligitation over estates of inmates who die with a balance left in the trust account. Finances Good Iligh compliment was paid the caulty for its splendid financial con- dition by Mr. Coombe. In 1940 Huron 'will be out of debt, he recalled and 'for ten years the ,municipalities had been following a pay-as-you-go policy. He talked on assessment, collection of taxes and a variety of ether municipal subjects, advocating that assessors assess land and property up, to 100 per cent of that value, as stipulated by the As- sessment Act, although he doubted 11 there was one municipality in Ontario that obeyed the law in' this respect. Mr. Coombe suggested a yearly meeting .in. ,Goderich of all assessors in Huron County with a view to gets ting uniformity and equity. He also scored as unlawful the act of some municipalities in fixing the salary of tax collectors when advertising the Positions vacant. Hospitalization, indigents' accounts, relief andreforestation were other subjects dealt with at length by Mr. Coombe: ' "I have it on• the say-so of Hon. Eric Cross, who is in a position to speak for the Government, that county councils will not be abolished," said Mr. Coombe. "Stop passing the buck—if you do so you will hear less of abolition of county councils," he•con.cluded. "That's all very well," said Reeve. Eckert, "but how can we help our- selves When the Provincial. Govern- ment is getting gasoline, license and other revenue." Municipalities g'ot back $14,000,000, last year," said Mr. Coombe.

Huron Presbytery Rally A very enjoyable and inspirational gathering was held in the basement of Wingham United Church on Friday evening, November 18th, when about one hundred girls and women met for the annual Supper Rally of the Mis- sion Circles, affiliated C.G.I.T. groups and' Evening Auxilaries of Huron Presbyterial. The members of the Wingham Evening Auxiliary deserve credit for the splendid susses they served ns well as for the decorating of the tables, which were arranged banquet fashion, and which were attractive with candles, autumn flowers and fruits. Mrs. A. W. Gardiner of Egmond- vllle, President of the Presbyterial, presided during the evening, while Mrs, R. E. MacKenzie of Egmondville led the sing -songs. The literature secretary, Mrs. F. J. Beeclsley of Sea - forth, introduced some new literature icluding a book of Bible stories writ- ten in modern language by Rev. Mal- colm, and also a pamphlet about Christmas Festivities in other lands. Miss Pearl' Wood of Exeter delight- ed everyone with a beautiful solo. The guest speaker for the evening was Miss Evelyn. Follett, Mission Circle Secretary of the Dominion Board. Miss Follett, with her per- sonality and humorous manner, prov- ed to be a most interesting speaker. She chose asthe theme of her talk the words of Christ to Thomas, the doubter, "Behold ray hands"! She dealt with three kinds of hands, the hand of friendship, the hand of the physician, and the hands of the Sav- iour of the World. In discubsing these she described a Mothers' Camp held each summer, and composed to a large extent of women; and children from the Church of All Nations, showing how much the hand of friendships means to our new Canad- ians, She also told of the marvel- lous work of Dr. Sunday GaiIcwod of India and of Dr, Victoria Cheung of China. In conclusion, she pointed out that what really platters is what use we have of our minds. If we have done our best all will be justified. - After votes of thanks were tender- ed to Miss • Follett, Miss Wood and the ladies .of Wingham, another rally was brought to a close with the use of the National Anthem.

Some wag painted eyes and mouth on a big roadside boulder and an alert picture -taker came along and snapped an excellent "oddity" picture. Keep your eyes open for things such as this -they add Interest to your album. 1, "straight -up" shot --with short time' exposure if you have a slow camera, or a snapshot if your camera has a fast lens. The resulting picture will be fantastic—but a good subject for your album. Shadows often produce picture oddities, Shadows of bars at the zoo may put a striped coat on a 'lion. Curved surfaces, such as a citron ' sum bowl or convex mirror, produce oddly distorted reflections you can .t picture. And here's an idea: ;puta • small eubjeot such as a kitten or puppy on a glass -topped lawn table, and snap a picture from underneath, If you take care that tlie glass picks up no reflections, it will be invisible. —and the subject will seem to be floating•, in air! These pictures are funboth to take and to show to your friends. A good collection of "guess what?" or "guess how?"-. pictures"can protide hours of entertainmentr•at.a party.

Do YOU keep your eyes open for .LJ odd and curious things which might be material for an "unusual picture". section in your snapshot album? • Watch for such' subjects when you are on a picture -taking jaunt, and you may be surprised at the things you find. Oddly twisted trees that look like old men --a freakish bit of architecture—a wall -shadow that looks like a human .face in pro- file --ass unusually realistic scare- crow in a farmer's field—novel cloud forms—all these are condi dates for the ''unusual picture" col- lection. Observe reflections, too. Picture the upsidedown reflection of a building in water. Turn the picture right side up, and the water ripples look like heat waves. Extreme angle shots of some subjects, taken with camera :.pointed •straight up or •straight down, often produce weird effects. Por example, put the camera on the floor at the bottom of a well - lighted circular staircase and take a i !
