There are - many problems to which they bring a more.intimate knowledge than men, .social questions, far exathple, appeal ..strongly to us, and we should be able to offer much valuable assis -'tance in this direction," 'Of course, we, are constantly be ing told that women's influence is negligible, and 'that after all these years of suffrage there are only two women in the two Canadian ,Houses of Parliament. . But it was not for • position that we pressed for the suff- rage, we wanted to be where we • could do the most service. The im- portunity of the National Council of Women was responsible for the Mo- • thers' Allowance Act." --Hon, Cairine Wilson. opt I hope that women will never get -tothe place where they will want to become members of school boards municipal councils or of 'legislatures or parliaments just to be in places of honour or of power. It seems to me if that is all that women wanted bhe franchise for they would have been just ,as well without it. There has always bean a large enough. percen- tage of mien who sought place and position just for that, taking -no re- sponsibility about serving their fel- Iows while in. these positions; 'we do not need to add to it a percentage of women, too. - Women are not more reponsible titan men for the good of the world, not nearly so much for the state the world is in, because it is so recently that they have been able to use any real influence in the management of its affairs. But it seems to nit if wo- men are not serving, if they are not engaged in snaking this World abet- ter place for men and women to live and for little children to develape and grow, they are wasting their time in. public ofifces. —:•RLBBRAR.

Bal- iantyne has gotten more praise than blame. As far as men taking two • days' pay is concerned; if you came from Howick or Winghatn during these past winters, it took nearly two days or even three. Why then, should they take one day's pay. Reeve McNeil: "Council wanted an itemized account for $300 yesterday, but last year passed an account for $3,200 and not itemized, I think it should be itemized and presented to; the County Council, Reeve McNabb, a member of the Warden's committee, contended that that cotnmittee had the full power -of the County Council; if an itemized :aceowit were wanted, he advised then to bring in the motion and stop chewing" Others taking part in the -discussion were Reeves Goldthorpe, 'Turner, Eckert, 'Sanders, Matheson, Gamble, Haake. In reply to a question on Tuesday, Clerk Roberts said that on looking up the bylaw that Mr. Holman had been appointed to the Mothers' Al- lowance Board was made in Toronto on recommendation of the County Council.

M.D., Associate Secretary DRAUGHTS A question that is frequently ask, •ed is—How am T to know that my room is properly ventilated? The simplest practical testis to; step out. side into the fresh air for a few minutes, and then return to the room. If the room is "stuffy," then it is not ventilated and the windows need to be opened. Many people who quite agree that fresh air is desirable. are, afraid to ventilate their rooms because they -fear a draught. There Isonly one kind of draught that is dangerous, and that isthe one which strikes and chills one partof the body. You do not suffer ill effects from a breeze cut of flo'or's,' 'and you will not suffer from one indoors, except- ; ing, as we saki, when it strikes one -part of the body and chills that part. Cold draughts along the floor should be• avoided: •When the feet are chilled by a draught along the Floor, •and the head 'is warm, the resistance Is lowered and a common cold fre- quently follows. None of these undesirable draughts is necessary in the ventilation of a room. The window in winter is.rais- ed sufficiently to allow a movement of air in the room. Such a move- ment of air is hardly perceptible and is not at all chilling to the body. Ventilation demands the use of a little common sense in making the size of the opening of the window according to the temperature and di-, rection of the wind. Never fear: draughts; just remem- ber not to allow a breeze or current of air to chill one part of your body while .the remainderis warm. Fresh air or cold air do not cause colds, Colds usually follow living in over- heated, stuffy places, and the chill- ing of the body, in one part, especial- ly the feet, when the rest is wartn. Keep the feet dry. Damp or wet shoes result inchilled feet, and chil- led feet pre -dispose to ,colds. • Questions concerning Health, ad- dressed to the Canadian Medical As- sociation,:184 College Street, Toroat.1 to, will be answered personally by / letter. That County councilors be paid 10 cents per mile • one way only the most direct way possible to travel and committee meetings be paid on the same basis. -Executive. Bowman and, McNabb: That we pay 10 cents a mile from the nearest -railway station if , roads are blocked and impassable for ears and with cars 10 cents • `a mile most direct route.—Executive. IL. E. Cardiff and J. W. Gamble: That this County Council ask the warden's committee to communicate with Mr. Kent and get his price as a Chartered. Accountant to finsh the 1933 County Audit and if this man is not available try elsewhere. --Imme- diate action. W. Crozier and W. J. Jones: That if the clerk and treasurer, engineer and House of Refuge u R uge inspector put in a phone at their homes the County shall pay for it. Amendment -L. .B. Cardiff and A. 3. Goldthorpe: That this county council pay one-half cost of all resi- dence phones, namely; clerk, treasur- er, engineer and House of Refuge in- spector.—Carried. M. Matheson and R. Johnston: That owing to failure of council to receive !applications for the auditor's posi- tion that responsibility be left to the Warden's Cotnmitte to locate and eommunieate with chartered account- ants and arrive at favorable arrange- ments and bring in a report of same to council to pass on at this session, --Carried. The members of the County coup eil were the guests of Warden Elliott at a banquet Wednesday night in Hotel Bedford. Friday After a lively discussion on Fri- daya vote of 15 to 14 carried a res-, olution recommended by the Good Roads Committee, that the Govern- ment be petitioned to take over - the Blue Water Highway as a provin- cial undertaking. The reeves from the central and east portions of Hu- ron voted solidly against it, main- taining. that the Government should pay 100 per cent. of the cost. They argued that, with thepaved roads, bridges, etc., twenty per cent. of which the municipality pays, would amount to more than under exist- ing conditions. i Representatives of other portions of the county served by the highway in question argued that now is the opportune time to capitalize on the huge relief prod grana. Reeve Munnings of Goderich said: "If the Government takes it over the county will only be responsible for 20 per cent. The expense today is • about $8,000 a year. In future several bridges will have to be wid, ened. Why not let the Government spend some money here?" Reeve McNabb did not agree with Mr. Munnings. When a highway is built, he declared, . you pay all the tvay through from county to pro- vince. Warden Elliott disagreed with Reeve McNabb. It is not compulsory for the county to invest in pave- ments. The state of the Blue Water Highway is no 'credit to Huron now, It is neglected because there is talk that the province is going to take it over and it would be better under the. Government system, Reeve Archibald: "We pay taxes on cars and gas; there shoaid be sufficient revenue from this to take cue of repairs:' Reeve Eckert wanted it set aside for another year. Deputy -Reeve Turner, of Goderich,• also made a plea. "The Blue Water Highway has been under considera- tion as regards the Government tak- ing it over for some time, People living along the highway don't get consideration they should while they have helped to pay for other high- ways through the county and pro• vince. Isn't this an opportune time to get the Government to take over the road and relieve the unemploy- ment situation netnploy-mentsituation to great extent if the roads were widened and .improv- ed and would not cost the county more in the end?" Thevote on the clause ,stood 1? to 14 when the last • name, Reeve Jones, of Hensall, was called, and was brr; en when Mr. Jones decided in favor of the recommendation of the committee.. A. general reduction in grants .did not meet with favor, as.recommend, ed by the Executive Committee,, and were restored to the 1933 figures as follows: Salvation Army, $100: Institute for the Blind, $100; Hensel! Spring Fair, $25; Clinton Spring Fair, $80; North and. South Huron Plowmen's Association, $80 each; each fall fair, $100; Seaforth Spring Fair, $80; Grant to hospitals wen deferred owing to no receipts of fin- aneial reports from the various hos- pital, except one (Goderich). :The sum of $19 was voted forflowers a- round the Court House, the motion for $25 Tailing to carry. 63y a recorded vote of 29 to 0 thr essarassesseents council reduced the salary of County Engineer Patterson from $2600 to $2300: Mr. Patterson addressed the council .regarding the cut at the afternoon session.

A .motion was passed to pay R. C. Hays $290.4 for work in connection with the Special Audit which led to the prosecutions, in addition to $300 retaining fee, Mr. Hays addressing Council explained that the retaining fee was given him for his advice at all times to County officers and reeves and did not cover what is considered extraordinary work. He expressed his willingness to hold himself in readiness . to serve any member of the council in their rela- tion to county matters. .Ross Johnston of Zurich, was ap- pointed Corn Borer Inspector at Sq cents per hour, he to furnish his own transportation. It was also decided to retain Miss Monteith in the Trea'surer's office until the books are audited which F. P. Gibbs was appointed to do. This audit will be from July to December of 1938. i The much discussed itemized re- port front F. P. Gibbs, C,A., was sub- mitted to the Council which was a statement of the work executed and the following financial statement attached: 1 • Principal 40 3-4 days at reduced rate of $20 a day, $815; Senior Assis- tant, 88 days at $12 a day, $1,056.; Intermediate Assistant, 861-4 days at $6.00. $6.90.; Junior Assistant 32 1-4 days at $5., $161.25; Stenograph- er, 151-4 days at $3.15, $53.42.

Reeve Johnston inquired if there was any relief he could get for six children whose father had married a year and a half ago, and had since died, the step -mother going back to the West, ' The chileren were left With an uncle who was not hi a posi- tion , to keep them, Reeve McNabb WINTEII UPLANDS advised that a housekeeper be got and let her get the Mother's Allow- ance as foster -mother but Reeve Is- aac Wright advised that if tate Aet were looked up it requires that no one ,but an aunt, grandmother or re- lation, with the consent of the In- spector can be classed as a foster mother.'

NOT TO OURSELVES The world has narrowed down so much Machines and wings have conquer- ed space, The city with its restless hordes Is part of every country place. And every stone of hatred flung Into the sea of human strife Will cast its ripples on the shore And shake the peace of every life. Not to ourselves we live and die, , But to each other's good or ill My neighbor prospers, so do I, Life's mighty stales must balance still. For faith and love are common stuff And thoughts have silver -mounted wings. The frost that stings like fire upon my cheek, The loneliness of this forsaken ground, The long white .drift` upon whose powdered peak I sit in the great sifenee as one bound; The rippled sheet of snow wherethe wind blew Across the open fields for miles ahead; The far-off city towered and roofed in blue, A tender lino (Upon the western red; . The stars that singly, then in flocks, ,appear, Like jets of silver from the violet dome, ! So wonderful, so many and so near, And then the golden moon to light me home; The .crunching snowshoes and the stinging air, And silence, frost and beauty eyery where.

Let utter peace prevade, and quiet- ness This weary frame relax, this heart possess. But, if through such Nirvana there should gleam The flickering pattern of a little dream. Then, of Thy goodness, lead my lag- ' ging feet Beside still waters in green pastures sweet. Until I hear a voice or glimpse a smile 0f those I've loved and lost, a lonely while. Let me forget all care. So, when at length • Dawn wakens site, I shall have gained new strength To gird my armor for another day, And with fresh courage get me on my way! —Mazie Caruthers in New York Times. •t=:==s ROOFS A roof is shingled that it may Shut out the rain and wind and snow, But any roof may hold within Its shelter all of life, I know: The love of woman for a man, •Ills love for her, their hopes, their feat's, The miracle of birth, and life, The agony of death, and tears. No rain -tight roof may keep the prayers A mother prays from rising up, Nor stay the wine which God, Ilim. self; Pours daily in her lifted cup. But oh, it can hold close the peace All parents know—that sense of right When ever—. y child is safe beneath The shelter of a roof' at night. And often when 1 mark them there— Small roofs stretched low along a,. street— I see them through bright, sudden tears--, The things they ' shelter are so sweet. - --+Grace Noll Crowell, :A PARTNER OP CHRIST She never failed to answer at the call Of those who needed friendliness and care;, ' Her hands were swift to serve, and everywhere Her heart was always open unto all The many ills' that did so oft befall Her kith and kin.

Underneth the thrall Of silent saintliness, she was a friend Who ever labored with a tireless will, And . knew the joy of work su- prenterely done.

TILE WAY EVERLASTING Psalm CXXXIX. 0 Lord, Thou knowest all my ways, My secret thought, my hidden deed, CIose watch'ng o'er these passing days, Thou sorest for my every need; Thy mercies compose me around, And all my ponderings confound. Where from Thy presence shall I go? If I ascend to heaven on -high, Or make my bed in hell below, From Thee, 0 God, I cannot fly; Though on the wings of dawn I flee, Thou'rt there beyond the farthest sea! If in the darkness of the night Some shameful deed I seek to hide, Lo, all the starry hosts of light Reveal Thee standing by my side; Yea, though I shun the gentle moon, The midnight shineth as the noon, In fearful fashion hast Thou made This being, beautiful and strange; Deep in the earth Thy plans were laid, Through cycles of celestial change, Thine eyes, in many a lowly form, Foresaw the angel in the worth. 0 God, how wondrous, how sublime, The works that issue from Thy hand! Thy thoughts are fathomless as time, And countless as the oeean sand; And yet Thou watchost over me, Por when I wake I'm still with Titeel Search me, 0 God, and know my thought, And draw me closer still to Thee, Nor let me rest while there is aught Of secret wickedness in the; Lead me, 0 Lord, from day to day, Along the Everlasting Way! --J. Lewis Milligan in British Weekly "Extra value" is the reason why so many thousands of women all over Canada use Five Roses Flour for every home -baking purpose. Mrs. Lambert P. Wigle, Essex County Bread Champion in the Five Roses Baking Contest told us: "My hus- band says that he never tasted better pies and cakes than those that come Out of my oven — they are so even, light and nice -tasting, and, while I have always been successful in turning out good food, I have had my very best results with Five Roses Flour. "I Can warmly recommend it to other women who take a real interest in baking, and who wish to avoid acci- dents Lice' `fatty' pastty and soggy pndercrusts. and Pe Tui "It really saves you money, too, be- cause it is always the same quality, so you can be sure of good results as long as you use good recipes. And it gives a bigger yield per bag." Mrs. If. G. Powell, Essex County Cake Champion said: "My baking success is due to many things, but principal- ly to using the best stuff — fresh eggs, fine sugar and best shortening, good oven, sound common sense, and Five Roses Flour. I cannot over- emphasize the importance: of the last, for the flour is the keystone of the lot, and an.ordinary flour can hard- ly be expected to give the same splendid results in flavour and nourishment."
