It casts just as much to get out the newspaper, despite the fact that advertising' hag dropped to a new record low -ebb. But no one sheds tears for the press. Newspapers are supposed to cry for reli'fe of others, sob foie the suffering hi, individual or corporation form, and snarl for in- justice and retribution. Every head- ache is carried - to the newspapers, every complaint is given to the press, appeals for the needy, pleas for busi- ness, charitable and civil organiza- tions begging for political reform — all is a 'part of the newspaper's duty to the public.

This is a true animal story which I thought might interest you. , One day last week we got a kitten from Mrs. Coulthurst on West St. It was a very small kitten and cried a lot, although Blighty the bulldog tried to comfort it by licking it. The second day after its arrival with us, Topsy, ;the big black cat belonging to Mrs. gallows ' on Church St., hearing the kitten's cry', rushed over, courag- eously stalking past the big bulldog, took the tiny kitten in her mouth and carted it home, put it with her own babies and formally adopted it. (Who knows, perhaps she array have heard of Hon. David Croll's "Adopt a Baby Week"). The sequel to the story is not quite so happy, at least not for Blighty, the bulldog. lie seemed to miss the little kitten so decided to travel over to the ,SalIows domain and regain possession. Topsy had other ideas though and, hurled herself at him with all the fury of the female of the .species, and she sent the mighty bulldog home with a great respect for her claws and a badly scratched mouth, after which he decided to leave her indisputably in charge of her adopted baby:.—Goderich Star.

June Meeting of County Council RATE DROPPED HALF MILL BY LEAVING OVER HALF HIGHWAY BILL County Councillors Would Abolish Provincial Governments in Interests of Economy Warden' ISweitzer, opening the June session of the Huron County Council' in Goderich last week, remarked on the beauty of the country and the promising appearance of the crops. eThese things 'should put the mem- bers of the council in a good mood and should'serge to promote co-opera- tion," he said. Outlining the business of the ses- sions, Mr. Sweitzer paid particular attention to the fact that the gov- ernment 'had reduced its contribution to the Children's Shelter inspector's salary ,by $500. ,At a meeting of the committee he had suggested that the county should make up the deficit un- til the status of the society was rais- ed to warrant an increased govern- ment grant. Speaking of the rate, the warden stated that ' it would be up to the council to decide whether.or not it would pay the entire 1934 highway bill or half of it.

Bowman asked if the clerk could report the number of applice- tioes for old age pensions for the term from Jan, 1 to Mlay 31, and the following report was read; Applications received, recorded and forwarded, 44; cancellations, 2; deaths reported, 32; increasesin pen- sions granted, 12; pensions granted, 60; applications refused, 6; municipal transfers to outside municipalities, 4; municipal transfers to.'Bluron mun- icipalities, 17. Applications still pending, not dealt with, 17. Cost of pensions for the period 36,248.93,. be- ing an increase of 3910 over the same period last year. The fact that more petitions were granted than were forwarded in this period is be cause of the carry-over of applications from 1934 that were not dealt with. The report of the Children's Shel- ter Committee was read, It stated that in the spring the committee had advertised for homes for children, and homes' had been found for eight wards, thus reducing the number in the Shelter -to eight. 1Acting upon the recommendation of the Grand Jury; the committee have had fire extinguishers installed in the Shelter and have also purchas- ed. a new electric washing machine, The committee reconunended that the superintendent be reimbursed at the rate of $500 per year for the re- duction in his salary due to the low rating accorded • the Children's Shel- ter here; that new flooring be laidin the kitchen of the Shelter. The re- port also pays tribute to the matron, Mrs. Oliver, for her untiring work at the Shelter. The report was tabled for discussion later.

The question of whether township, clerks should receive remuneration for their work in completing Old Age Pension applications brought, about some heated discussion at the after- noon -session on W'ednesday I. Gamble township clerk of. Hbwicli, addressed the council on this matter and stated that if the scanty wanted this work done thoroughly, and -conscientiously. it would have to give adequate re- muneration. !Under the new system each application must be dealt with immediately and home conditions must 'be • investigated thoroughly which means a great deal of time and mileage' for the clerks, Under the old system, of having an Old Age, Pensions 'Commission compoted of members of the county council ate en- ber of applications could be dealt with at one time.

The one above, taken with an inexpensive camera, won the grand prize in an international contest. ° THERE] seems to be the belief among many people that it la necessary to own --an expensive camera to take good pictures. Pages could be written debcribing the limi- tations of some and the versatility of others but as our space is limited the subject must be discussed rather briefly. There are many types of cameras to meet every requirement of the photographer, whether he is an ama- teur or professional, but no camera is capable of taking all types of pic- tures under all conditions, It is true that some cameras are more versa- tile than others. One may have an extremely fast lens which permits the taking of snapshots under ad- -verse lighting conditions and if it also has it very fast shutter you can take pictures of subjects moving at extreme speeds. Other cameras have lenses and shutters of various speeds to take pictures—and good ones within certain limits and conditions. What I want to impress upon you is this:—You do not necessarily have to own an expensive camera to take good pictures of the usual run of subjects. For instance, in an international amateur snapshot con- test conducted not long ago bya large •manufacturer of cameras, film and photographic supplies of all kinds, the Grand Prize, of 310,000 was awarded the picture taken with ala inexpensive camera, which goes to prove that intelligent use of ae camera is the first requisite for good: pictures. The same rule applies to movie cameras --and here is the proof_ Each year the American Cinema- tographer, a magazine published•. primarily for professional movie, photographers, conducts an amateur. movie contest and receives entries:; from practically every civilized. country in the world. Tinder the critical eyes of Holly- wood's ace• cinematogrbphers, who• acted as judges, small, inexpensive• 8 mm. movie cameras won a brilliant victory for their owners in winuiug first and second awards in the 1931 competition. The, final decision of • these critical judges should convince the world's worst pessimist that he. need not wait until he thinks he can. affordan expensive Mavis camera before enjoying the thrills of ama- teur movie making. There are thousands of people who are denying themselves one of the great pleasures of life in not. owning a camera of some kind— "still" or movie—for there are mod- els priced to meet the limitations or capacity of every pocketbook and all of them take good pictures— pictures you will enjoy now and in. years to come. from 3400 to 3400 a year while the new system was costing twice that amount. A motion had been sent to the finance committee in the morning recommending that township clerks be, paid 31 per application but Mr. Gamble claimed that this was not sufficient. ,peeve Bowman was of the opinion that the council could not hold up the government on the question, The de- partment has stated that if the town- ship clerks refuse to do the work no applications from, those municipalit- ies will be considered. A number of councilors' contended that the gav- grement hired these men to do the tvork and they should pay them., Cheaper to Deport One communication was the ac- count of Hay Township for the cost of transporting an indigent family to Glasgow, Scotland. The bill was for 3405.73. a T. Edwards explain- ed the case stating that it was far cheaper to deport them than to pay 'for medical treatment which was • in- evitable owing to their condition. Mr. Edwards then presented the Children's Shelter report, most of Which was given in the shelter com- mission's report. He told. the coun- cil- that nine children have been ad- opted and eight are still in the shel- ter. Moss Huron (Lois Campbell, Huron County's infantward) is pro- gressing 'well, according to the sup- erintendent. She now weighs' six- teen pounds as compared with six pounds whenshe became a ward some months ago. In explaining the E grading given the Shelter by the. Public 'Wel- fare Department, Mr.- Edwards stated that the grading is based' more on preventive work than ,on the con- dition of the Shelter itself. The gradings and corresponding salaries of superintendents as given by the department are A 32,000 (impossible, according to. Mr. Edwards), B. 31,500 C 31,000, D, 3500, E, ,8100. The re- port of the Children's Shelter Com- mission was taken up clause -by clause. Reeve J. 111. Eckert was of the op- inion that it was a question of wheth- er the grant !system is paying, or not. He felt that Mr. Edwardsshould be paid a straight salary by the. county. Deputy -Reeve Turner referringto the report said that more attention should be paid to the younger generation and their needs. He believed that the Shelter' here will get a higher rat- ing in the future. ,There is no use antago'nizieg the department] said Mr. Turner, We must give co-opera- tion, Appointment Disapproved A lengthy discussion followed the discovery that the council's appoint- ment of a Seaforth man to the Moth- ers' Allowance Board had been disap- proved. The set 'bearing on this mat- ter states that there shall be two women. on the board and only one woman would have been appointed if this appointment was allowed. It' was decided that A. T: Cooper of Clinton, a member ;of the Mothers' Allowance Board should: Dome before the council to discuss the natter more fully. The report of the eounty treasurer, Harvey,Enskine, was •read to allow the striking of the mill -rate:' It showed receipts of 343,027.81 and ex- penditures of $410618,12; county highways receipts' were $79,665.31. and expenditures 380,929.49. There ate now no loans unpaid for 1934.. The report was adopted. Estimated expenditures in the gen- eral account for 1935 are $156,300c,. cess 3150,031, in estimated receipts. The amount to be raised by mill rate - is 3141,469. A rate of 3.2 mulls on an assessment of 344,271,175 wilt raise 3141,667, leaving an estimated surplus of 3198. , Provincial Highways Permission has been obtained from the Dept. of Highways to split the payment of their 1934 'bill over a. two-year period. The amount eE this bill is 360,918.10. The depart- ment will charge interest on this bill from July of this year at a rate of 3rd per cent. The clerk submitted) the alternatives of paying the whole, bill his year or a partal split; 1935: debenture payment, 312,950.46; 1934 bill maintenance and construction,. $60,913.10; interest to Dec, 1935, $900; total, 374,763.56; less tank balance,,. $1,220.48; to be raised by mill rate;. 373,047.32; estimated deficit, $495.76; or 1935 debenture payment, $12,950,- 46; 12,950,46; part 1934 bill, 385,913.10 (leav- ing unpaid balance, 325.000); interest:: to Dee. 1935, ;$900; total, 349,763.56;; less bank balance 31,220.48; to be, raised by mill rate, $48,54348; 1-1.' mills on assessment, 345,968; estim aced• surplus, 3154192. Thomas' R. Bennett, joint owner- of property on the corner of the low- er town in Turnberry township ad- dressed the council over a matter of the payment of some money by the county for giving the county the,. right to round, out a dangerous curve in the road at this point. Mr. Ben- nett had agreed to sell the property in question and the cheque 'had never been paid over to him. Reeve Haacke, explained that the cheque was in the treasurer,'s vault at present and pay- ment had been withheld because the county had not received any deed to.. the property as yet. 34r. Macke aI- so explained that Roy *Arthur, the other owner, had stated his willing - nese to self for $50, whereas Mr. Bennett thought the county should give him $100. . The question was sent -to the County Boards Commis- sion.
