She was mar- ried to Mr. Johnston eighteen years ago and had resided at Port Burwell until three years ago. Mr. Johnston predeceased her by two years. She is survived by two brothers and two sisters: Dr. John G. Grieve and Thomas Grieve, Seaforth; Mrs. John Homuth, 'Wingham. and Mrs. Robert B. Hogg, McKillop.

Among those at- tending the funeral were the de- ceased's nieces of Wingham, HURON COUNTY COUNCIL The June -session of Huron County Council opened Tuesday afternoon at the court house, Goderich. Warden R. E. Turner, addressing the 'council, asked that they specify a time for dis- cussion of the equalization report made by the •valttators, . Mogg and Quinlan, and asked particularly that this should take place as early in the session as possible. It was decided to have this ,brought in at the Thursday morning session. 'FI ani glad to see you all here'in good health," said his worship. ''S'ince our last session sev- eral people wh.o were connected with county administration have passed away, John Jacobs, manager of the County Hone; George Holman, for- mer comity clerk, and Mrs. Thomas Inglis, wife of ex -Warden Inglis; and another young man, Stanley Tay- lor, who though not connected with the county council, will be missed at the ,press table, a bright young man who would have gone far in the news- paper world." At the request of the warden, letters ex:pressing sympathy will be sent to the bereaved families. "Trice county institutions have been visited and all are well eared 'for," continued the warden. "The changes in the Court Honrfe'are-progressing." He had travelled over a large part of the county roads and thought they would compare favorably with those of other counties. The roads in the northern part of the county dad: not come 'through quite as well as those in the south because of there 'being more snow there. The road commis- sion have undertaken improvement on the historic Dunlop tontib, said his worship as he urged the m'em'bers to inspect it !before the session closes. In a trip to Walkerton he inspected a building there used for 'housing road machinery and thought it would be advisable to have a similar one in Huron. Hospitalization is 'costing a great deal of money. Patients sent. outside could be very well taken care of at the four hospitals inside the county. He urged reeves to in'forn, the county cierk whether their mun- icipalities are going to be responsible (Continued on Pse.

M. .McIntosh, manager of the Bell Telephone Company for this district. The actual change should be made in about three month's time, the News was informed yesterday. "Work is no'tiy well under way," Mr. McIntosh said. "Telephones in homes and offices are being modified for temporary use as common bat- tery instruments after the conversion. In the central office, cable terminals are being rearranged 'ta suit the new conditions, and the new swit'c'hboard, which will be installed by the North- ern Electric 'Company, will be equip- ped to handle 400 lines. Ample provi- sion is thusmade for growth in Sea - forth. and it is expected that this switchboard • will take care of the town's telephone needs for some time to come. "Under the new common battery system it 'will no longer be necessary to use a hand generator to signal the operator. Merely lifting the receiver .causes a small lamp to glow an the switchboard, informing the operator that a number is desired," the Bell Manager concluded. Unofficially, it is reported that the entire project will involve an expendi- ture of over $1141,000, MRS, ROBERT McKINLEY PASSES LN WINNIPEG Tlie death occurred in 'Winnipeg on Sunday morning, May 28, of Mrs. Robert McKinley,a former Seaforth resident..

LANDMARK DISAPPEARS A landmark in Harpurhey, the old 'barn at the former Brown dairy, has 'been torn down, by Mr. Joseph Grumnmett, this spring.

There was also a fancy wagon be- longing at one time to the pop works, which was the original vehicle used by Mr. Dodds when the 'business was started.
