Two Goderich Lads Lost -
The storm last week was reminis-
cent of the disastrous storm of Nov-
ember 0, 1913, when many staunch
ships and gallant sailors were lost on
Ili' Great Lakes and many Goderieh
homes were called upon to mourn.
Last w-ok's storm was not so serious
in its eonsequeuces, but four vessels
were reported lost on the lakes. and
again Goderich homes were etricken.
The steamer Anna C. Minch. a 6.300
ton grain veneer. well known in God-
erich harbor. foundered on Lake
Michigan near Ludington, and two
Goderich boys were lost. One is
Sheldon alacMath, only son of Mr.
and Mrs. Samuel R. MacMath, and
the other is Dan Rose. nephew of the
Misses Jane and Emma Rose. Sheld-
on MateMath was born nearly twenty
years ago at Hohnesville. coming to
Goderich with his family a few
years .tgo. This was his first season
as a sailor. He was the only son of
the family, There are four sisters:

There has been no increase in the fees for permits

still lower than in any other province of Canada
or in the neighbouring states.

Ontario's bighf-ay system is the largest in the DOminiln, and for
the very reason1e fees, indicated above, a great highway system
compth.ing over 20,000 miles is maintained and made available to
the.motorists of Ontario and visitors from other parts of Anierica.
The revenue collected from motorists by way of registration and
license fees and the gasoline tax has made possible the construc-
tion and maintenance of this great systern of highways.
For the convenience of motorists, permits and licenses are issued
through the offices of 189 agents located throughout the Province.

Dry Beans
The 1940 crop of dry beans in On-
tario Is now estimated at 1,267,0001111
bushels as against 1,338,000 bushels
in 1919. The acreage planted showed
a large increase rising from 62,500 to
S4.800 acres, and with a normal yield
per acre the production this season
would have shown a substantial in-
crease over a year ago, but owing to
unfavorable weather conditions the
Yield dropped from 21.4 bushels per
acre in 19199 to 14.9 bushels this year.
in Huron county the acreage this

This compares with 12.450 acres in

Som'e growers who were able to
harvest their beans early received as
