VARNA
THE ONE WHO STAYS AT HOME
The family grows and some must go
Far from the sheltering roof
\\•here high suns burn. or cold winds
blow.
To hold the foe aloof.
But while the many forward ruts,
And great ships go and come.
Yet let ute think of one—
The one that stays at home;
Stout hearts have they who cross
the seas
And distant perils face
Who wish to 'scape from deadening
ease,
Or scale to higher place,
But valiant. too, is he whose heart,
Like theirs, would breast the foam.
Yet at the old hearth keeps his
part --
The one who stays at home.
Sew countries have great ;folds to
reap,
Need young and vigorous brains,
But motherland swine sone mast
keep
To sow and bind her grain.
The old folks. too. need some one
thei e—
They can uo farther roam—
of ull tate flock there's .one to
share ---
The one who stays at home.

Huron County Council
Hold Fall Meeting
Presentation Made To The Re-
-tiring Warden, ,Hear Public
Speaking. Contest
Huron County Council opened its
fall session at Goderich on Monday
of lasf week, Nov, 20th.
,Warden it, E. Turner, in address-
ing council referring to the visits of
Their Majesties to Canada said it
had proved a line gesture in bring-
ing about a united people. Since then
war had been declared, and the peo-
ple were united in their efforts to
assist Britain, and her ally, France,
to create a lasting peace.
He believed the roads of the
county would compare favorably
with those of any in the province.
The pm'chase of a caterpillar tractor
was a good expenditure as he felt
roads could not be kept up without
machinery. Consideration should be
given to the erection of a suitable
building to house the machinery, so
that it would not be scattered in dif-
ferent parts of the system, and
would protide ft place for repairs.
New stabling had been built at the
county home, his worship continued.
A .herd of Shorthorn cows, and four
brood sows had been purchased.
The reforestation committee had
been given authority to spend 35,-
000.
5;000. As war was declared at time
of the meeting, nothing wes done
but a report will be brought in at
this session and discussed.
Warden Turner told of the change
of offices in the court house made by
the property committee, and of the
pavement around the building con-
structed jointly by the county and
the town of Goderich.
The grant to the children's shelter
has been reduced by the province
from 3500 to $100 es the shelter is
now placed iii "D" class.
Warden Turner also expressed the
opinion that the method of proced-
ure of the sessions could be improv-
ed
mproved by leaving all business introduced
at the afternoon or the morning ses-
sion.
"This would give the committees
time to consider' more fully valuable
resolutions and with this proced-
ure more time could be given to
dealing with reports," the warden
added.
With Canada the centre of avia-
tion, Warden Turner urged that the
claims of sky harbor airport as a
suitable one for training should be
presented to the federal government
in a resolution front the bouncil,
"The debenture cigbt or the coun-
ty has one more payment, $12,950.40,
which represents the only debt of
the county and will be paid off in
1940," A H. Erskine, county treas-
urer, announced after giving his re-
port,
Mr. Erskine advocated the continu-
ance of the pay-as-you-go policy be-
cause of the demands due tp the
war, which it necessary will mean a
raising of tae rate to meet all oblig-
ations: He asked the co-operation of
all committees in dealing with new
business in any demands, so that
they may be included in the estint•
u nos.
The county highways committee
were well within their estimates.
"Add to this the amount of capi-
tal expenditures such as new filing,
new stoker and foundation stock at
the county hone, and I would pre-
dict a surplus on the year," Mr. Ers-
kine declared. "It has been a very
successful year considering the ex-
penditures which had to be made
after the estimates had been struck,"
A letter was read from Herb Hart-
man, Mount Carmel, requesting that
Reeve,Ed Lamport of Stephen town-
ship be reimbursed for damages to
his car received when "he distingu-
ished himself and liberated human-
ity from the clutches of a dangerous
criminal single-handed." It was sent
to the executive.
Eleven applications for the posi-
tion of superintendent and matron
of the county home were received
and referred to the county home
committee.
The county of Ontario asked con-
currence in a resolution urging that
the provincial government abolish
the grand jury system, and a reduc-
tion in the' panel of the petit jury
from twelve to eight members. and
the number of jurors summonsed
from 48 to 36.. The request was re-
ferred to the legislative committee,
Frank Donnelly, barrister. of God-
erich, applied to council to pass a
bylaw granting franchise to the God

milting them to erect .and ntaintaln

"The telephone company was
granted tt franchise thirty years ago
o -ver these roads by the respective
townships," Mr, • Donnelly wrote.
"There roads have been taken over
by the county and the extension Is
asked as the franchise expires this
year." The letter was sent to the
road committee.
