New Train Service PRESENTATION For Week Ends Saturday and Sunday Trains to Handle the Week End Traffic Announcement was made this week of increased train service for week ends on the Canadian National Railway here which will be a conven- ience to the general travelling public, and particularly for the airmen sta- tioned at Huron county airports. Under the new week end train schedule, a C.N.R. train leaves God- erich at 1 p.m., Saturday only, reaching Clinton at 1.25 p.m., Brum- field 1.54, Kippen 2.07, Hensall 2,17, Exeter 2.37, Centralia 2.53 and • ar- rives at London at 4.00 p,rn. On . Saturday, too, a train leaves London at 8.15 a.m. and arrives at Centralia 9.21 a.m., Exeter 9.38 a.m, Hensall 9.56 a,m., Kippen 10,06 a.m, Brumfield 10.19 a.m., Clinton 10.45 and arrives Goderieh 11.15 a.m. On Sunday only a train leaves London at 9.40 p.m., arrives Centra- lia 10.34 p.m., Clinton 11.50 p.m. and Goderich 12.20 a.m. Starting Sunday, November 29, the train which leaves Toronto at 10.35 p.m., arriving at Stratford at 1.40 a.m., will now come through to Goderich, arriving at Clinton at 2.30 , a.m. and at Goderich 2.50 a.m. The new 50 -mile limit for buses has proved very inconvenient to air- men, as many were on the highways between Stratford and Goderich and London and Clinton, hitch -hiking and walking, and many reached their stations cold and hungry and hours overdue.

HURON COUNTY COUNCIL OF 1942 By "THE COUNCIL BARD" Some three days past in afternoon-'twas on a Tuesday -I remember, When wailing winds and naked woods showed plainly it was bleak November, The Huron County Council here had mot for business chat together - And with open mind and sparkling wit, they brightened up the gloomy weather; Imagination lent her charms, philosophy was standing ready, Andkeen-eyed judgment, hand in hand, with common sense serene. And keener grow'their search for thrift, and deeper dug they for that treasure, 'Till sharper grew their subtle wit. and still increased their mutual pleasure. They talked of County problems mostly, and discussed the Country's war position, They brooded o'er earth's giant ills, and grieved o'er man's enslaved condition, The Warden, he was in the chair, with conscientious mind and strong, A man with tact and talent rare, the diplomatic George Armstrong - His was the soul of kindest thought, his was the eye of keenest vision. His was the mind of deepest reach, his was the voice of calm decision. Our worthy Clerk was ever near, we could never get along without him; With such a mellow voice and clear, and that's what we all like about him ; His duties 'aoll for common sense and we have itthere in Norman Miller, With judgment sound and vision cleat a most resourceful feller - He can be entertaining too, and oft contributes to our fun can, Every timehetakes the floor, to dance a clog with Francis Duncan. Our Treasurer too, the true and tried, an energetic man and fait, - We always felt well fortified, when we had Harvey Erskine there; At figures he's an adept true, with systematic ways about him- ' And when he says a thing is so, not one of us will ever doubt him; The watchdog of our County funds, with his books in, always good condition, And that is why we always find, the County in a sound position. • From Coderich Town, Bob Turner same, tall and straight and six feet three - Ho really was in "forty-two," the tallest Member we could see - In debating he Is smart and clean, a most substantial man and able- And we giveto him attention keen, when he's up and leans across the table. His arguments come apt and quick, quite positive afraid of no man, And that he proved to us one day, in discussion with E. J. Bowman. And 0oderiehsent a deputy, the cool and careful Johnnie Baker, A specially tactful man is he, as smooth as any undertaker. With common sense and vision clear, .he makes but mighty few mistakes, For with prudent caution for his guide, he always thinks before ire speaks; A really thoughtful type of man, with countenance serene and steady - But though ho has the pensive brow, he for a joke was always ready. Exeter sent to us a Reeve, and We really have been very lucky, To have as our associate here, the smooth., and polished Benson Tuckay- At home n hustling sort of man, and always running into dusk, Where• ho has a -systematic plan, and oirerates fullmany a truck; 'In debating he is smooth and slick, a really most efficient scorer -- And wa gave to kirn attention quick,when he warmed up on the old AIM barer, Prom Hansell Village, SMaldiok came, a most artistic decorator, And we've found him in the Council here, a wise and careful legislator -- At home an enterprising chap, and gives his business careful study, Ile ran decorate a hall or home or paint it church with anybody, In talking' he's a humorous chap and usually keeps us all delighted-- - And no matter what the subject is, he novor gate n bit excited.

For over fifteen years you have served as our choir leader in Carmel Presbyterian Church and it is with deep regret that we, the members of the congre- gation, learned recently that a change in your occupation made it necessary for you to resign. Our regrets were born in the high esteem in which we have held you and your splendid ser- vices for all these years. It may be that in this long period we have not voiced oar appreciation as often as we ought, but here and now we would have you know that we always have liked the enthusiasm with which you went about your duties. We always have admired the faith- fulness, the patience and the good humor that marked all your efforts, and of course we always have en- joyed your talents as a singer.
