Reeve's Statement re County Audits
"Although I did not in any way
suspect the honesty of our County
Treasurer, I was not at all satisfied
with his report or mehtod of conduct-
ing the affairs of his office. Early in
1929, I commenced to advocate that
• the County engage chartered account-
• ant to audit the Treasurer's books.
• .At the January session in 1929 my
idea received very little support and
auditors were appointed as usual.
• I again brought upthe matter at
the June session of 1929. Mr. Turn-
er, Reeve of Goderich, and myself,
made a motion that the Clerk com-
municate with firms cif Chartered Ac-
-countants and secure their terms on
annual, semi-annual and quarterly au-
dits as reference for ftuure Council.
This motion carried. (Page 25 of. June
1929 minutes).
At the January session of 1930
i" there was •considerable discussion. A
motion of myself and Reeve Higgins
of Hensall that we appoint special
auditors (Chartered Accountants) was
defeated. 19 to 6. (Page 20 of Janu-
ary 1930 irtinutes. '
1 was not able to clearly under-
stand the report of the Treasurer or
Auditors at any time—the Treasurer's
book not balancing with the Bank.
At every opportuith time I advocated
the support tintil the June session. of
, a proper audit but received very lit-
tle until the session of this year.
A:motion of myself and Reeve Eclo-
ert of Meltillop that we appoint
chartered accountants to audit our
books and install a proper syStern of
bookkeeping waa carried (about 20-5).
(Page 31, Jute 1933 Minutes)."
The Clerk presented a statement of
taxes, which is very gratifying, in
fact, better than it was last year at
the same time: for 1931, $337.83 and
for 1932, $3,130,90, The Council • then
adjourned.

Roads in Bad Condition
The main highways were in very
bad shape last week due to the heavy
snow storms. On Saturday the snow
plow came through and traffic began
to move More freely. The plow con-
tinued to work on Highway No. 4
until late Monday when it returned -to
Toronto. The highway after the plow
left, was in fair condition, but the rain
of Tuesday has again • made travel
-
very difficult. Most of the sideroads
were blocked for motor traffic and
with Tuesday's thaw are in very poor
shape.

FIFTH ENTRY TO
TOWN LEAGUE
Sixth Team Needed to Round Out
• Leagu'e.
With the entry of "Doc" Howson's
Old Thrters last week the officials of
the Town Hockey League are trying
to locate a sixth team to add to the
previous- entries, namely, Webster's
Welders, Superthst, Prudentials and
High School. Any person or group
wishing to sponsor a team is asked
to forward their entry at once td Sec-
retary IL Garlick at the Walker
Store. The league heads are prepared
to shuffle the teams around so as to
help any new entry if they request it.
All entries close on Nov. 30th, on
which date a schedule will be drawn
The latest entry to the league pro-
mises to be perhaps the most popular
team in the circuit. The eminent
golfing -dentist has gathered about
hirn a mighty strong aggregation a.na
if he can whip them into some semb-
lance of cbridition, they will make
thfngs tough for a lot • of teams, Two
good goal -tenders, 'Earl Groves, and
the old favorite "Sam" McGee, will,
have plenty of protection from a hef-
ty defence trio in Alf. and "Dutch"
Lockridge and Harry Towne. Up
front "Doc" will be flanked. by the
tricky Barney Browne and the hard -
shooting "Mickey" McLean. At pre-
sent the Old Timers are scurrying
about looking for capable reserves.

Start Christmas Shopping
A little over four weeks is not a
very long time. It will soon slip by,
and. there will be a great many people
who will regret that they did not do
their Christmas shopping earlier.
Wise shoppers will not have to be
coaxed and pleaded with and cajoled
into making their purchases before
the season of hustle and bustle is in
full cry. It is the act of common
sense to buy Christmas necessities as
early as possible; in fact, the season
of early shopping might well begin
now, due to the fact that prices are
on the ripe:rade. There are many signs
of business betterment. Naturally this
means that low prices are receding
and bargains to be had at present
may not return for many years. By
planning and buying for Christmas
now, citizens should be able to effect
real economies and at the sante time
make a valuable contribution towards
estoring prosperity.
HYDRO USERS
SMILED MONDAY
Some time ago we announced that
the 'Utilities Commission were givitig
a ten per cent. rebate on all commerc-
ial power and domeatic • lighting that
had been paid for in 1932.
T_Isually on the 20th of each month
or about that time, people start the
parade to the Hydro Shop to pay
their bill. Not so this month, as the
ten per cent. discount was applied on
the Hydro bills due Illonday. Many
had nothing to pay, others even have
a credit still dile thetn on their next
bill, others •had very little to pay. .
The commission played Santa Claus
a month early and that is the reason
that users td Ilydro wore a smile.

EVENING AUXILIARY
HEAR ABOUT CHINA
• The Evening Auxiliary of the Un-
ited, Church held a most interesting
meeting on Tuesday nigh in the Sun-
day School room of the Church.
The special speaker for this meet-
ing was Miss I. Griffiths, Toronto.
Miss Griffiths is secretary for Young
People of the United Church for the
whole of Canada and her talk on
"China" was most interesting and in-
structive. She told of the splendid
work being done by the United
Church missionaries there and said
that the progress being made by the
Chinese women was most marked.
These Chinese women were taking a
keen interest in the schools, many
taking University work, others study-
ing to become teachers. Her remarks
were the more interesting as the Aux-
iliary will commence the study of
China starting with the New Year.
Mrs. G. W. Howson, President, was
in charge of the meeting and Mrs.
Claire Adams conducted the devot-
ional period. The musical part of the
program consisted of a solo by Mrs.
G. L. Baker and a duet by Mrs. J.
M, McKay and Miss Jean Christie.
Following Miss Griffiths' talk on
China a business session was held af-
ter which lunch was served and a
social thne enjoyed.
MORE IRON NEEDED
IS DOCTOR'S ADVICE
Doctors know that iron is a great
strength and energy builder—that
lack of iron make you a slave to
"tired feeling," headaches; nervous-
ness and other ills. Once this iron
is restored strength comes back
quickly --and you feel like your olcl
self again. But be sure that the iron
is, easily assimilated—like the iron in
Peptona. Get a 20 -oz. bottle today at

Chosen Moderator
At a meeting of the Synod of Sas-
katchewan held on Nov. '7, in St. An-
drew's Presbyterian Church, Saska-
toon, the Rev. D. K. Perri e was un-
animously elected Moderator. During
the past summer Mr. Perrie made a
tour through the northern part of
Saskatchewan and returned with an
amazing amount of information re-
garding the vast number of Presby-
terians scattered through that wide
area .who desire the services of the
Church. The many friends of the
Rev. David Ferric will be glad to
know that his work is being greatly
blessed, that he is possessed of the
qualifications and the zeal for Home
Mission work.
May Be Deported
An effort to head off the possible
deportation of Ernest Fitt, formerly
of Wingham, erstwhile radical leader
of London, who is now serving a
term in' Guelph reformatory following
conviction on an unlawful assembly
charge, has been started by the Can-
adian Labor Defense Leave. "An at-
tempt to deport Fitt will be made' at
the expiration of his sentence," a C.
L. D. L. leader said Saturday. "We
will ask the co-operation of all sym-
pathetic organizations in preventing
this." Fitt is English born. A course
of legal Atti011 has not yet been de-
termined, it Was said. Pitt, along
with two other London jo6lees., was
charged in London in dOritthetkri with
deinonstration which took place last
