out by the department. Reeve R. S.
Hetherington said the relief hill of
Ontario wall be rut in two because of
the new "forms which were issued to
n'oteet the country from wholesale
discrimination in the larger centres.
County Clerk J. M. Roberts who
has been granted leave of absence if
and when called by the R,C.A,F. In an
executive capacity, expressed appreci-
ation of the courtesy. "Tile problem
of age is confronting the but I hope
to overcome it." stated Mr. Roberti;
who was a former flyer in ' the air
force. A resolution expressive of the
nnnr'eeintion of the council in Mr.
Roberts' executive ability and strong-
ly 'recommending hire, was heartily
enfiorsed.
A Manny interlude in the proceed-
ings occurred when Reeve J. H. Scott
with fine elocution, t'ead a poem "The
Flarml County- Council of 1939" cone
nosed by himself, in which the char-
acteristics of each councillor were.
mentioned. Broad smiles lighted up
the faces of each member as his name
with all its euloeistic phrases in
rhyme was read. Many were remind-
ed of other councils when the late
Peter W. Scott, reeve of F4'aw'anoslt,
delighted all with his poetry which
won for him the title, "Poet of Huron
County Council,"
Weeden Turner thanked all for
their cooperation, and the national
anthem anti "For lie's a jolly good
fellow" brought to a close the last'
session of the 1889 county council.
Warden's Banquet
Felicitations of regard and goodwill
literally poured in from all sides an
Warden R. E, Turner on Wednesday
night when he entertained the mem-
bers of Huron County Counoil at a
banquet at the British Exchange
Hotel, at Goderieh. There were 65
guests present from all parts of the
county; Reeve Wilmot Haacke, of
Ooderich township, presided.
Reeve W. D. Sanders of Exeter an-
nounced that he will be a candidate
for warden. He had served under 15
wardens, and had spent 88 years in
the public life of Stepben and Exe•
ter, and knew both rural and urban
life.
Reeve Wilmot Macke, after nine
yen's in the council, announced lie
will not be a candidate for his muni-
cipality next year.
Reeve L. Fe Cardiff, who is the
Conservative candidate for the next
federal election, and was in line for
the war'den's chair in 1989, said he
would have to make up his mind re-
garding municipal elections.
Reeve George McNeil, of Blyth, a
veteran of the last war, said he Karl
offered his services to the Empire
again, and he saw no reason why he
should not be accepted. He is also in
line for warden as be was runner-up
in the last Conservative year, 1968.
George Schaefer. president of the
Goderieh Board of Trade, spoke en-
thusiastically of sky harbor air'por't.
which he claimed would come through
if training airports are chosen. Pros-
pects for a permanent surface on the
blue water highway, he said. were
very much improved.
G. L. Parsons also vigorously clram-
ioned the two projects,

BUST DEVELOPMENT
Nothing is so desirable to a woman
ass a shapely ply curved bust. Not only
doss it enhance the bea'u'ty of one's
figure, but it helps enormously to again
that "dress appeal" that is so enviable.
silanty of my readers aek for advice
on thi subject -some have no bust de-
eelopinent;-others are' too heavily de-
veloped. In most :eases, treatment w€Ll
bring intprovement. although patience
and delicacy of treatment are essen-
tial.
For ander-developed breasts, fresh
brewer s yeast is often'efficacious, as
it 'helps to provide internal stimula-
tion of the anamary :glands of the
breasts. The ,usual dose is about three
desert-spoten'fu l diluted in half a
lase of water, taken three •times a
day.
In addition, regular exercises, spec-
ially designed to develop the (breasts,
should he consistently carried cut.
One good ,exercise is as follows:
Stand erect n'ith body stretched to its
'full height, 'head up, heels together.
toes straight ahead and arms hanging
relaxed at sides. Lift :arms straight
out the sides, level (with shoulders.
Now twirl :your arms twenty times
forward and then twenty times ibaelc-
w•ard, keeping elbow's and wrists rigid
so that the action is in the shoulders.

Chr'istian Lehman had to remain for
an extra year after his father..Iacob
Lehman, and his family came to this
country. because his term of service
