HURON COUNTY'S LEADING NEWSPAPER
To tread the humble paths of earth.
Felessieg she is: Goa made her so,
And deeds of week -day holiness
Fall from her noiseless as the snow,
For hath she ever chanced to know
That aught were easier than to bless.
She is most fair, and thereuntti
Her life doth rightly harmonize;
Feeling or thought that was not true
Neier made leas beautiful the blue
Unclouded heaven of her eyes.

A. letter received from the Boys'
and Girls' Committee outlined the re-
sult of a joint meeting- of the cone
mittee and executive of the badmin
ton club to arrange use of the audit
orium on the top floor of the town
hall. The letter stated the oommittee
was seeking quarters for four organ-
izations, the Boy Scouts, Cubs. Girl
Guides and Brownies, and the bad-
minton club according to en odieial.
refused to consider sharing the aud-
itorium. Permission to use it for two
nights between 7 and 5, and 2 nights
between 7 and 9, had been sought by
the committee. Councillor Sills, ehair-
man of the Property Committee. re•
viewed the situation, stating the re.
newel of the badminton club lease
had been requested at the last coun-
cil meeting and round] had suggested
a joint meeting of the two organiza.
tions concerned. Mr. II. G. Meir as
ehairman of the Boys' and Girls'
Committee, said only • temporary
quarters were needed, as suitable
quarters 'would , be available next
Spring. After lengthy discussion

A resolution asking that Sky Har-
bor airport at Goderich be considered
as one of the aviation training yen.
tree was considered, Councillor Keat-
ing remarked that Goderich should
drop their court action on the county
equalization. Councillor Sills felt it
was wise to look ahead on such mat-
ters, that the past 40 years had seen
a rapid rise in the position of the aut-
omobile and the future might see
aviation advance, especially if Canada
becomes an Empire aviation centre.
Development of this kind in this part
of the province would be worth while.
A motion adopted approved of the
resolution.
Bylaw 417, relating to legal details
in connection with insurance policies
covering accident liability, received
its several readings and passed. It
was reported that an action against
the town is now proceeding as a re -
suit of a broken leg sustained by Al-
bert E. Sage near Victoria Park, on
July 12th, The town is insured in
this case.
A commtmication from M. E. Clarke
sought permission to erect two gas
pumps in front of his truck ware-
house on Market street. A motion
granted this permission. A letter
from the Rural Municipal Association
asked for a membership. After dis•
cuseion it was decided to accede to
this request. Treasurer D. H. Wilson
reported that there was an increase
to, date in current taxes of approxi.
mately a thousand dollars over last
