The straw- berry season is here again—the ber- ries are plentiful and tempting, and menfolk are longing for those deep fresh -fruit pies. I mean the old- fashioned kind—tart and flavorful, just oozing with juiciness—Yum! Strawberries are a tempting des- sert for lunch and you can also use them as a topping for a cornstarch dessert for dinner — 'twill be adding. a pip to your uniform meals, Ever tried a Sour Cream Straw- berry Pie? To 1'A cups • of fresh strawberries, add 1 cup of sugar blended with tablespoons of corn- starch, and then add 1 cup a thick sour cream. Line your pie plate 'with a rich pastry, turn in the mix- ture, top with another crust and bake in a hot electric oven at 425 degrees, then lower the temperature to 350 degrees. Here's sometthing you may serve with a flourish. A combination of Rhubarb and Strawberries makes another worthy contribution, served between rich, flaky pastry. Mix together 1 cup rhubarb and 2 cups strawberries. Sweeten to taste. We usually use 1 cupful of sugar at least and blend it, with a little flour (3 tbs.); spriugle over the fruit. Roll out the top crust; cut in .4 inch strips; roll each strip into a "rope"; coil from the centre of the pie, adding other ropes until the coil fills the top, making until the coil fills the top, making an imitation spring coil.

Camp Life At Coast Described hli Letter (Letter from Sgt: Mjr, Stewart Geddes, continued from last week) Sunday, June 7th. Dear Mother,—This certainly has- n't seemed like Sunday as we were working all day and tonight until 3 o'clock, We also worked yesterday afternoon so I don't think week ends are going to make much difference to us. All week end passes and fur- loughs are cancelled until further orders from Ottawa which may mean indefinitely. This is real country for scenery. The surrounding mountains are beautiful. When it gets pretty hot here in the valley we look up at the snow in the mountains, but it doesn't seem to cool us off any. We have had some rain since coming here and the low'clouds cover the mountains and seem to come down almost to the base. It started to rain yesterday afternoon and was still raining when we got up this morning, My pal, Geoff Hattersby, from London and Toronto, and I are shar- ing a tent and it is quite comfortable with the two of us in it. We have no beds so sleep on the ground: They issued us with six blankets so I put my ground sheet down, put a matt- ress cover on it, then three blankets folded double to lie on. That leaves me three to put on top of me which has been alright as yet. We have a sort of pillow cover but no filling, so I put my water bottle under the blankets at the top and use it for a pillow. Sometimes I wake up through the night with a stiff shoulder and side from the hardness of the ground but just roll over and go to sleep on the other side. I only do this $ or 4 times in a night and get lots of sleep and it is a good sleep too. I don't feel nearly as tired as I did at Shilo sleeping inside on a more or less comfortable bed. Last night there was no rain ab all that got inside our tent. We have a trench dug around the outside to drain the water away. The village of Terrace might be compared to Walton, but I would much rather have Walton. At least they have electricity, soft drinks and ice cream. There is no show here, in fact the only two roads out of town only go about 10 miles so the rail-. way is the only means of escape. We have cold water from the side of the mountain to shave in the morning. It is outside of course. In the daytime the water gets too warm for drinking so you can't win, but I really am en- joying ib immensely. It is now after 9.30 and still broad daylight. You can see to read outside at 11 o'clock. I haven't been up any later than that so don't know when it really gets dark. I know it is quite light at 4 a.m. .As soon as the sun gets over the moun- tain it soon gets quite warm but un- til then is cool enough. I think there ave only 3 or 4 mails a week so don't know when you will get this. I have not seen a newspaper since before leaving Shilo. On Friday you get Tuesday's paper in town which does not keep you very well up with the news so we don't even bother to get one of them. It certainly is quiet in the mountains here and we don't know. what is happening. As ever, Stewart. A64700, T.S.M. Geddes, S.P. 55th Bty. R.C.A., 19th Field Reit. R,C.A., Terrace, B.C. FULTON - LLOYD A wedding of interest took place in North Paa•kdale United Church, Tor- onto, when Marion Lloyd, daughter of Mrs, Robert Lloyd of Toronto became the bride of John Gillespie Fulton, son of Mr. an(1 Mrs. Janes Fulton, Mitchell. The church was prettily decorated with snapdragons, bouvar- dia awl palms and the ceremony was performed by Rev. Milton Sanderson, pastor of the church. The bride wore a gown of white sink jersey made with the long torso and a short train. Her finger -length veil was held in pls,ce by a Halo of tulle, Slie carried a cascade of bouvardia, swaneonia and rose, The bride's sister, Miss Ruth Lloyd of Toronto was brides- maid, in a gown of pink sheer made on Similar lines me that of the bride. Her shoulder -length veil was held in place by a pleated sheer halo and•Iter flowers were a cascade of roses, The Prances James, CBC star, a favor to bridegroom was supported by Lorne with concert anti radio audiences McGill, Mitchell, and the ushers wort' Oliver Cunningham and Elgin Ifaegan, Toronto. The weddiltg music was played by Mr. Simmonds, also of 'T'oronto. The bride's mother wore a blue sheer dress with w i to c• ture hat arid corsage of pink roses and the bridegroom's mother chose a black gown of lace and georgette, black picture hat and coiiia e of e 1 was r os s. A reception w s held at the bride's home which was gay with early slimmer flowers.

Out- ot-town guests were present from Mitchell, Se,forth, Brussels, Angora and Peterboro. ' The groom is a bro- ther of Mrs. James Riley,.Seafor'th. IPLOWING MATCH NOT 1S *hen the. Timson Plowing Match Committee looked around for some- one to head the billeting committee, their glance rested on the rotund fig- ure of Ross McGregor, well-known Hullett farmer, who so perfectly personifies "mine host." Mr, MeGregor, however, is faced With a bigger problem than that of welcoming the thousands who will attend the International Plowing Match which comes to Huron on Oct. 13, 14, 15, 16. To him and his coo. mittee falls the task of finding six hundred homes within the immedi- ate site of the match that will ac- commodate visitors for the week. It , is a big job—that of seeing that Int- ernational visitors have a bed upon which they can lie when their• day's work is done—but the manner in I which the committee is approaching its job and the ready response of the people in the district assures every International visitor 'a home away from home while he or she is a guest In Huron. With Ross McGregor on the committee are Frank Fingland, KC., Clinton; Wilbur Jewett, Hul- lett; M. A. Reid, Seaforth, and Ross Scott, Brueefleld. They will be re- ' sponsible for allocating the thousands of visitors requiring accommodation to the hundreds of Huron homes whose doors will be opened the sec- ond week of October. Standard rates of remuneration will be In effect, ac- cording to Mr. McGregor, and any. householder need have no fear of al- lowing the committee the use of any extra rooms for the accommodation 'of the county's guests. Huron people 'must live up to the match slogan, "Huron for hospitality," he said. The r•eceit announcement by the Wartime Prices and Trade Board re- stricting demonstrations of farm ma- chinery at all fairs, exhibitions and plowing matches will give the direct- ors an excellent opportunity to assist the farmers of Ontario at the inter- national Plowing Match in Huron County this fall. With new machinery becoming very difficult to obtain and with repairing of farm machinery be- coming so important, the educational aspects of the International PIowing Match will be increased a great deal when the event is held in Hullett Township on October 13, 14, 15 and 16. Farmers will want to know as much as possible about' methods and means of improving machinery so that the maximum benefit can be de- rived from it. There is no doubt that a tour of "The Tented City" will be a virtual tour of education. Thousands of farmers from all parts of Ontario will come prepared to make the most of the suggestions offered. J. A. Carroll, secretary and man- ager of the Ontario Plowmen's Asso- ciation, is very optimistic about the match this fall. He has been greatly impressed by the excellent ground work for the event by the Huron County Plowing Match committee. In company with members of the executive of the Ontario Plowmen's Association he recently toured the site of the match and saw the dem- onstration plots of hybrid corn, ex- port turnips and soya beans on the farm of W. L. Whyte. Said itIr. Car- roll, "Everything points to a truly great International this fall in Huron County." "I say, old man, have you change Por a pound note?" "Yes, certainly." "Well, just lend me 10 shillings of it, will you?" County Council Held June Meeting Huron Co t -T n un punch convened on Y C Tuesday of last week for its Juno session. All members were present with the exception ofReeve N.R DOrr'anee 0. P McKillop tow nship, who attended the funeral of his uncle In his opening address Warden George Armstrong said the Countyt Y road commission l °'a las rather a rli ' Ct. at situto atldn handle in view P of the fact that certain i n work has to be done although the subsidy has been reduced. 1n this connection," said the warden, "the road commis- sion visited Toronto apd was grant- ed an interview with the minister of highways. 1 can assure you that nee, ess r bridge y building, etc., will be gone on with and the department will assume their share. I have ac- companied the commission on an inspection of the roads and we cov- ered almost all in the county, In our travels over these roads it has be- come apparent to me that the county must be prepared for some extensive bridge work as soon as the war ceases and the drain pp the finances for war purposes has come to an end. Some of our bridges are not in a very good state of repair, and in fact in a great many cases new structures will have to -be erected. The road com- mission and the county engineer will bring in a report at this session." The warden expressed the hope that the Council would leave the mill rate as tentatively set at the Janu- ary session, Concluding, the Warden spoke of the forthcoming International plow- ing match. He believed that in spite of handicaps the match would be a wonderful occasion and he bespoke the hearty co-operation of all memb- ers of the County Council. Correspondence was read. Respect- ing a resolution passed by County Council at its January session asking legislation giving rural municipalities the power to levy one-fifth mill to finance the Federation of Agricul- ture, Hon. P. M. Dewan, Minister of Agriculture, wrote: "I brought that matter before the Cabinet when all the proposed legislation for rthe com- ing session was being considered, It was decided not to introduce legisla- tion of this nature." The Hydro -Electric Power Commis- sion, acknowledging receipt of a re- solution protesting against the dis- continuance of rural electric service, wrote: "The real reason the Commis- sion is prevented from extending rural service is because it is unable to obtain the necessary materials for this purpose." Last January Council endorsed a. resolution urging the Department of Education to institute Bible and re- lgious instruction in high and public schools. The Department replies: "The Minister has, since midsummer of 1941, ,given approval to fifty or more schools to open at 9.30 instead of 9•1 -o'clock, • en -two or more days a week, to give opportunity for religi- ous instruction....tbe present regula- tions already provide for the work which your County Council properly regards as highly desirable. The diffi- culty in the past seems to have been that little attention was paid to these regulations. This is a matter for local school boards to consider." Acknowledging receipt of a dona- tion to the Chinese War Relief Fund, E. J. Case, of the Imperial Bank of Canada, the treasurer of the fund, writes: "I am very proud of your subscription, as my ancestors were all from Usborne township, settling on land purchased from the Canada Company, Thomas Case and his seven sons having arrived from England; so you see I have a warm spot in my heart for Huron." The grand jury attending the spring assizes reported to Council: "We are pleased to find there is a new locking device being installed to control locking and unlocking of all prison cells in a block from outside the block. One is already installed. Its operation was demonstrated to us." I Miss Lillie Macpherson, Registrar for Huron County, is requesting the, installation of an automatic stoker in the Registry Office at a cost of $350.1 A County of Waterloo resolution would eliminate the taxing and re-' bating of taxes on gasoline used by farmers for tractors, now that this) particular gasoline is colored. Answering an inquiry by Reeve Turner at then Tuesday morning sit- ting, ibting, Reeve Raymond Redmond,' chairman of the road commission,: said that considerable time had been lost by the commission's machinery, owing to difficulty in getting repairs, and parts, most of which came from the United States, whether the mach ine was of Canadian or American' manufacture. Reeve Redmond told Reeve Ratz that considerable revenue had been derived from the rental of graders and caterpillars to airport contractors. Two such were now at work on the Ipperwash project. Nine dollars an hour was received for big machines and five dollars for the smaller. From the Grand Bend airport job alone 33400 had been received, Reeve Turner brought up the ques- tion of pay for members of the Coun- ty old -age pensions committee. He said they now received $4.75 for each monthly meeting and mileage, but got nothing for making investigations, in which they used their own gasoline and rubber, or for stationery, postage and telephone calls, to say nothing of their time, "Anybody can have my Job any time," said Reeve Bowman, a member of the committee. "Don't cdo it," advised Reeve Wet - son. "They don't accept the local committee's report anyway. They have their own investigator. His word is final, Let him do the iirvesti- gating. Let him wear out the robber and shoe leather and 'burn up the gasoline." On Wednesday Clerk N. W. Miller told Council corn borer inspection had Cost $249, He was advised to have the inspectors appear in person to make oral reports. In his report George Fagan of the county home told Council that the. H011140 of Refuge was tilled. A ' cent a r •1 from the Hutson County unit of tate Federation of Agriculture, headed by President A. of o M art, Waited 1 tl Council Wedn<e• g d:ry afternoon in quest of a grant.

It required mon- ey emphasized. sy to do thefob, he emph,rsr ed. After moth discussion, in which many members participated, a motion was introduced to make a 3500 grant. It was sent to executive committee. A bylaw was ordered prepared con- firming the appointment of Miss Margaret Cooper as stenographer in the clerk's and treasurer's offices at a salary of $50 a month. Before council adjourned Reeve J. H, Scott recited in his inimitable manner his latest poetic composition, entitled "The Farmer's Spring-tim.e Philosophy," and got a big hand, The tender of George Beattie for coal for the house of refuge was ac- cepted. "Juvenile delinquency is def- initely on the increase," declared a report sent in by the children's aid society of Huron county. .en increase in adoptions and unmarried cases was reported. P, McNaughton, corn borer inspec- tor for South Huron, had found a lot of borer in his travels of 800 miles, More hybrid corn is being grown than ever before. In bis opinion, the ruling of the department that stubble eight inches high should go unplowed was a mistake. Reeve J. H. Scott,'Seaforth, gave a full report of the proceedings of the O.E.A. convention held in Tor -' onto, to which he was the delegate from the county council. He was fol- lowed by former county councilor Henderson, of Wingham, who spoke strongly against the centralization of authority in educational matters. Approval was given to the con- struction of a road to the north side of the harbor at Goderich as pro- posed in a resolution from the town council, thus providing a place where coal could be unloaded from boats; and opening up land now unused. "Our job in this county is to pro- duce to the limit at this time. We have the promise of great crops." J. C. Shearer, agricultural representat- ive, told Huron County Council on Friday in the course of an interest- ing address, and told of the Japanese laborers who have been brought from B. C. to work on county farms. Mr. Shearer told of the arrival of 55 young Japanese from British Col- umbia now located on a farm in Us - borne township, midway between Exe- ter a.nd Centralia. They fit in well in the sugar beet production in South Huron, said Mr. Shearer. Arrange- ments had been made to build a labor camp to accommodate 100. These Japanese volunteered to come to Ontario for farm work, Mr. Shearer continued and will later be moved to Northern Ontario for road work. Those who have arrived range in age from 18 to 82 years, all single and about the same size. They are under the supervision of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Only bus- iness men and farmers will be allow- ed in the camp which is ideally locat- ed, with self-contained kitchen, din- ing -room, bunks and wash rooms. Af- ter a four-day trip the latter were appreciated and showers were quick- ly in use. "They will go to the farms to be used as labor in sugar beet raising, weeding onions, harvesting, and so forth," Mr. Shearer explained. Asked how the Japanese will be financed, Mr. Shearer said the money for their labor, approximately 322 an acre, will be paid by the farmers to a committee in the camp, from which will be deducted the cost of their living expenses in the camp, and the remainder given to the lab- orer. The men return to cmap .each night. A tax rate of 4 mills was authoriz- ed by by-law for the estimated ex- penditures: 2.45 mills to raise 3132,- 933 in the general account; county highways 1.55 mills for $84,101. The rate for townships will be 4 mills. Endorsation was given t0 the rec- ommendation of P. M. Dewan, minis- ter of agriculture, that wool produc- tion be furthered. it was pointed out that if every farmer would get a. few sheep it would help the situation. On the recommendation of the exe- cutive committee, a bonus of $10 was granted to each member of the Old Age Pensions and Mothers Allowance Board, for extra work done, A grant of 3500 was voted to Huron unit of the Federation of Agriculture; and 395 to the Hospital for Sick Children.

Want and l+'or Sale Ms, 3 ,weeks 5Oc Bridge Replacement To Cost $1,000,000 The following report was presented by the County road commission at the June session of the Huron County Council: nci1: Siuca the January meeting or the Council, the Deparernent of Highways has advfsed that subsidy will be paid this year 0r 3100,000 of expenditure on maintenance only, and with a view to having this ruling amended 'ss' r your eomnu. r(n interviewed the Minister of Highways at Toronto. It was pointed out, among other things, that demand for extra work was be- ing made by the airport authorities for service to the various airports within the county; that we were faced with unusual expenditure re- speeting bridges, and that it was necessary to undertake considerable surface treating work to preserve our roads. The Minister gave a sympathetio hearing, and indicated that construe - tion work done before the ruling was Made would be subsidized, and that special consideration would be given to other features, Since the rubber situation has be- come serious, and there is a shortage of labor, it has been the endeavor of your commission to keep the toads passable With the minimum of work, and no new road construction has been started. There is, however, a great deal 'that must be done. We have on our hands the work of re., pairing or rebuilding five bridges that have failed, and since it is about ten. years since any such failure occurred this is a very unusual obligation. The following shows the estimated receipts and expenditures for 1942: Expenditures: Snow removal ,310,000 Dragging 15,000 Grading 3,000 Resurfacing ..,. 30,000 Culverts 1,000 Sanding 400 Tarring 13,000 Trees 150 Drains 600 Ditching 800 Snow fences 2,500 Signs 400 Weeds „ 3,500 Calcium chloride 10,000 Boundary ac- counts 500 Total Maintenance $ 91,250.00 1941 rebates due ,. 3,927.38 1942 rebates due 8,950.21 Superintendence 5,000.00 Workmen's compensation 1,000.00 Construction to January.30, 1942 6,000,00 Bridges 18,000.00 Estimated outstanding ac- counts December 31, 1942 4,000.00 $138,127,59 Bank Loan, December 31, 1941 95,000.00 Total 3233,127.59 Receipts: January 1, 1942—Cash on hand $ 3,971,97 January 1, 1942—Accounts receivable 4,118.71 1941 subsidy 82,081.42 Sundry receipts 2,000.00 1942 levy 84,101.00 Estimated amount owing bank, December 31, 1942 56,854.49 Total $233,127.59 To offset the bank loan will be the subsidy usually received about the end of March. We believe that during these days of higher prices it is a proper time to reduce this bank loan, and we recommend that the road levy be the same as last year -1,55 mills. Many expenditures held over qur- fng the war will have to be faced af- ter it is over, and it is not likely that money will be easier to secure. Among the problems is the re- placement of old bridges, the,renew- al of which would cost 31,000,000. In addition road improvements will require new equipment in order that the required work may be economic- ally accomplished. Equipment that will probably be needed is as follows: Two power graders .,320,000 Crushing plant 12,000 Power shovels , . , , , , 15,000 Plant mixer 20,000 Sheepsfoct roller ..-- 1,500 Trucks 5,000 Rooter 1,000 Equipment shed ... - , 6,000 Total $80,500 The rubber and gasoline situation makes it appear advisable to give serious consideration to the matter of doing no snowplowing next winter.
