ROAD COMMISSION REPORT
High praise was accorded the
Goods Roads Commission and Coun-
ty Engineer Patterson by member,5,
of Huron County Council at the
morning session on Wednesday when
their reports were studied.
The commission's report was dis-
cussed clause by clause, with Reeve
John Pepper of Stanley township
in the chair. Particular commenda-
tion centred around the work done
to eradicate weeds.
At the conclusion, with the report
endorsed, Reeve N. R. Dorrance of
McKillop, the chairman of the com-
mission, expressed appreciation of
the commendation.
The commisssion's report was as
follows:
During 1946 equipinent has been

Considering the big backlog of
projects. that have been field over
during• war years, and which"should
now be carried out, a highei'jcounty
road rate is indicated until such
time as taxes again .become a real
burden, at which time our bonds
can be cashed.
During this year some experi-
mental weed -spraying was carried
out, using 2.4 D, but we are not yet
satisfied that it is superior for
roadsides to sodium chlorate. For
lawns and ifark and such places it
is ideal.
Most of our weed -spraying was
devoted to destroying leafy spurge,
and napweed on the roads, and ad-
jacent to them, in an effort to eradi-
cate these weeds from the county.
There are a limited number of
patches of these bad weeds and all
were sprayed that were known of
at the time. Other patches.will no
doubt be discovered and some re-
spraying will be needed.
We recommend that the road in
the township of Howick between
lots 10 and 11 from con. 14 to the
north town line be assumed as a
county road (2% miles).
Also the road in the townships of

Southwestern ONTAILUO accommodates nearly half of Canada's
furniture manufacturing establishments, and the industry may well be
said to centre there. Els with other industries, an impressive share of
the province's furniture -making facilities were turned from their
normal task during the war, but the woodworking plant is one of the
most readily convertible and its future one of the most assured :: ; with
the greatest demand in history, both for the new homes of Canada's
prosperity and the immeasurable replacements required abroad. In
Ontario, woodworking 'is moving steadily to the fine old lumber and
ship -building towns such as Collingwood ::: inspirational localities
where the cabinet-maker craftsman finds himself in the midst of
Ontario's forest resources—as well as health and quiet:

FURNITURE CENTRE
In 1944, of the 472 Canadian factories
engaged in the manufacture of wooden fur.
enure of all kinds, 208 were located in
Ontario. In the same year the gross
value of the manufactured products: was,
approxisnatcly 30,000,000. Nearly 8,000
people were engaged in the industry and
more than 3'11,000,000 was
paid in salaries and wages.
