R. H. iBarnby, Q.T.D., of Blyth, in the chair. Owing to the lateness of the season and the condi- tion of the roads the attendance was not quite -as large as usual. The Presbytery listened with inter- est to a number• of committee reports, all of which called the church to a deeper consecration of itself to the work before it, and to a more faithful following of Jesus Christ in every de- partment .of life. The foreign mis- sionary committee emphasized the work of missionary education and urged all minister's and leaders to ac- quaint themselves with the report of the -recent Jerusalem Missionary Con- ference. - The life and work committee pre- sented a very able and pertinent re- port. Among other things this report said (1) that a protest is due against any lowering of our standards of in- dividual and social life; (2) that many families are tusking a serious mistake "in not creating the; wholesome re- straints and gracious culture that be- long to religious exercises and wor- ship in the home"; (3) that there. ought to be a far more faithful support of the Sunday school than there is; (4) that "there is aro immediate need for gatherings of small acct large groups for prayer and the kind of thing that Bunyan saw, of some women of Bed- ford talking together of the deep things of God;" (5) that all 'communi- cants he urged to be loyal to the spirit' and program of Jesus: and (6) that ministers and congregations consider. seriously the threatened dearth : of candidates for the ministry, . The sec- retary was instructed to have this re- port printedand distributed to all the ministers in 'the Presbytery that it might be read from the pulpit. Miss Clara :McGowan, of Blyth, a member of the executive of the Pres- bytery's Young People's Union, ad- dressed the Presbytery, making an eloquent plea For the help and co -oyer- tion of the ministers in the work the Young People's Union is seeking to do. Mr. William Black, of Seaforth, also addressed the Presbytery on be- half of the Laymen's Association, Iie called upon the, laymen to take a deep- er interest in the work and welfare of. the church.' Rev, J. M. Coiling, of Grand Bend, presented clearly the work that ought to be done this win- ter along the lines of religious educa- tion, Re;. \V. A. Bremner urged upon every member of Presbytery to make a determined' and thorough effort t have the entire allocation of the mis- sionary and maintenance fund raised in his congregation. He stressed par- ticularly the need for the regular and systematic'tise of the duplex envelope.: Just before adjournment the Presby tery instructed the secretary to draft; a resolution of sympathy for tite King, DEPENDABLE POCKET WATCHES $5.00 UP STRAP WATCHES $3,50,ko $25.00 CUFF LINKS 35c to $8.00 TIE PINS 7$c to $13.00 BILL FOLDS $1,00 to _3.00 SMOKING ; SETS PEN SETS CIGARETTE CASES HOLDERS AND LIGHTERS WATERMAN FOUNTAIN PEN DESK SETS CLOCKS `e Rin9.s DIAMOND, DINNER,.

The December session of the Huron County Council opened on Tuesday afternoon, Decemlber 4th, with all the memlbers present. Warden Hays made an address. 'Since the last meeting the council' had lost one of its members .in the death' on Anguettt 14th of Mr. Frank McQuaid, who had represented. M'c- Kiil•1op for a good many years, and had given the af1'ains of the county very careful .thought. • Mr, Hayes went into the county finances. In 1926 the county became liable for $312,000 as its share of ,the Highway between Goderich and Tay- lor's Corners and in 1927 for $49,000 for the completion of the road to Clinton, a total of $81,000; At the June session the council passed a bylaw to issue $100,000 of debentures, to rust fifteen years .and. bear 4% p.c. interest, but this bylaw was refused approval by the Ontario Railway and Municipal Board on account of $5;777 of main- tenance being included. It was ar- ranged svith the highway department and the bank to carry the amount for a year. Last year the county had paid off $67,000 and this year $39;500, and four or five thousand dollars would be saved' by not issuing debentures. It was becoming evident that; we could not continue at a 2 -mill highway rate. In addition to the amounts -'for Highways already mentioned, an es- timate made by .the Highways De- parttnen't of the aruouult payable by the ccouaty on 1928 work was $60,540. The .bank is taking care of the $32.- 000, the Government is carrying the $49,400 at '5 per cent. until September next, and the 1928.itidebtedness does not become due till next September. The Warden spoke of the need of distributing school ,grants -yin pro- portion to population instead of the present method where; small towns were penalized because they tried to get beyond the „village status. It was very unfair to call towns like estcott Phones; Res, 643. 1 Clinton and Seaforth villages because they had ,a population Sof less than 2,000 and 'give them larger grants, while,. '4\ inghant and Goderich were deprived of such. ;grants altogether. The service for stenographic work was next touched on and the Warden found the Stenographer in the office of the court clerk, which is a provinc- ial office,collected the sum of nearly $1,300 from the county for 1928. He thought it Would be in the best interests of the 'County to employ a stenographer independent of the Pro- vince. ro-vince. The Warden referred to the large expense involved inthetip-keep of the provincial Offices in the court' house, - front which the county receives no re- turns whatever. The Warden referred .to the import- ance of appointing a constable under the ,L. C. A., whereby the fines im- posed under his investigation woul4 come to the.'Gounty, whereas- under the presettt.method we are losinghan-' dreds of dollars every year. He said his informatiot was that the county had lost $300 or more since June. 'At the conclusion of ,the Warden's address Mr. Hill rose and in a very. fitting way complimented the War- den or his remarks anal also spoke ap- preciatively of : the -tribute paid to .the late 'Mr. MoQuaid. On the :matter of installing an im- proved refrigeration system in the House of Refuge Mr. Otto Graham of Wroxeter spoke to the council on the suggestion of Mr. McKibbon. Dr. Milne suggested, in discussing the hospitals act as to admission of indigents, .that more safeguards should be insisted upon in their admission.
