W.:Iholman) • The following has been given us as a suggestion from County Clerk Hol- man to help the people of Huron county in the situation caused by hard times and unemployment: Ask the Government not to go on with that piece of highway sottth of Exeter (5. miles) this year, and let the county spend the one mill, or $4'4,000, which would be required to pay the county's 20 per cent. share of this Highway construction, if made, on the county roads, under the supervision of the Government, the County Eng - neer, and Good Roads Oom'mission, the local .municipal reeves and town- ship road superintendents, The coun- y roads on which that $44,000 would be spent to be selected by the Govern neat and our Good Roads Commis- sion and County Engineer. It is sug- gested that the following roads w'hich'. will, no doubt, in the near future, be- come King's Highways be selected as the roads to be improved: jl) The road from Goderich o Blyth, including cutting the big hill, between Goderich and Saitford and the Auburn hill. (2)1 The Blue Water highway from Grand Bend to Amberley, including the big put at Port Albert, ('3) The, Crediton road from the London King's Highway beginning at Devon and running_ westward through Crediton to Grand Bend. ('4) The Lake Road west of Ex- eter, or the boundary between Steph- en and Hay Totvn•ships; to the Blue Water Highway. (5) The road east from Exeter, or the Thames Road, a continuation of the Lake Road. (6) The Zurich road west of Hen - sett to the Blue Water Highway. (7) The Brucefield-Bayfield road from Brucefield west to the Blue Wa- ter Highway. ' (®p The Mill Road east of Bruce - field on to Sea'fonrh, a continuation pf the Bayfield road. (9) 'The road northward front Sea - forth to Brussels and extending north- ward between ,Grey and Morris. to •ick... ;ww HOw (10) Any other road upon :whid'h such work could he done in the north- eastern townships of Grey, Turnber- ry and Howick. 'Nlolw this is a very comprehensive scheme of public works, which could be used for the next two years, to be paid for out of the $414,000, or one -mill levy, which is provided for yearly to pay our 20 per cent., providing the Government is willing to hold up their contracts for two years at least. It is not necessary nor proposed that all these roads should be pro- ceeded .with at one time or in one year but the work could be extended 'over two years at least to give entploy- ment to the unemployed or those in need of work within our own county, whereas if you wait until. this is all done by contract it will be done by machinery and the cottnty will not get anything out of it; except probably to supply the gravel and sand and the privilege of paying our $44,000 a year to contractors, who import their la- bor. The need of supplying. our own people with work and wages is more urgent than giving some contractor a chance to snake a big profit at our expense, out'of which we get nothing. Besides these highways are built for two purposes only, to cater to the tourists by giving them easy roads to travel over, and to give contractors jobs. This may look fanciful to some but to us it looks practical and workable and if the Government is consulted ie the matter they should give their con- sent 'before these contracts are let, It would be common sense and good bu- siness to provide employment for our own people with pick and shovel and wheelbarrow rather than to pay out the same people's earnings, if they can get any, to rich contractors and for- eign oreign help. ;Somebody map say, "See the differ- ence in cost." What of••it We would be expending our own money and giv- ing it to our own people and paying Jr more than the $44,000, which we now pay in one soon to go outside of the county. The Red Cross Society of the Unit- ed States is raising .$10;000,000 for re- lief work. All .very good, but the alio don't want doles acrd relief; they want work and the privilege of earning a living wage, and we make bold. to say that a scheme such as outlined above, or something similar, would not only meet the approval of both Govern- ments, at Ottawa and Toronto, but would, no doubt; receive tangible sup- port. The work of preparing these roads for highway construction would just be advanced a year or two, that is all, and the road' bed thus provided wouldbe all the better for a year's .

Evening rates on "Any- one". (station -to. -station) calls begin at 7 p.m. Night rates begin at 830 p.m. "Hello mother - yes, I'm feeling fine - yes, we won ... I scored two goals." It has come to be a habit with Fred to call his mother by Long Distance after every game. For mother is all alone ...•. and she worries about him ... ever since Fred's chum had his leg broken in a game earlyin the, season. The cost is a mere. trifle, for the low night rates are always in effect after the game they begin at 8.30 p.m. And it makes a pleasant break in mother's quiet life ...,and gives her some news to tell her friends. Long Distance is now quick and dependable. In most cases the connection is established while you hold the line. Evening and night rates are particularly inex- pensive, In fact night rates are little more than half of the day rates.
