A CAREFUL DRIVER When we read of the number of people injured or killed by motor ac- cidents, it is exceedingly' refreshing to hear of a serious accident being pre- ' -vented by a careful driver. At Auburn the other day a little girl made a succes:;ful trip across the road but: lost her dipper on the road. Har first impulse was to return for the slipper and she dashed back to pick it up. In so -doing she failed to notice a heavy truck approaching. 'The'driv- er of the truck at once saw the dang- er in which the child had placed her- self and by quick action avoided what might have been a fatality. Children are impulsive and have not the: experience of their elders, so it is the duty of motorists to ever keep on the alert for such cases as stated .above, * HE WAS SINCERE Ramsay MacDonald is no longer Prime Minister of Great Britain.

Mr. MacDonald is a pacifist and adoring his life he has at all times en- deavored to bring the nations of the world close together so that wars may be averted. During the years since the war this has been a difficult task and his efforts in this regard, '.together' with his other duties, have undermined his health. His advice wilt still be available to the Cabinet however as Lord President of the board. For his pacifistic tendencies and his deserting the Labor Party for the Na- tional Government, he has made many enemies but his name will live long in history, for he was sincere in his efforts to serve his country. * ;l: * SOCIALISM plications refused, 6; municipal trans- fers to outside municipalities, 4; mun- icipal transfers to Huron municipalit- ies, 17. Applications still pending, not dealt with, 17. Cost of pensions for the period $6,243.93, being an increase of $910 over the same Period last year. The fact that rnore pensions were granted than were forwarded in this Period is because of the cariy-over 'of applications from 1934 that were not dealt with, The report of the Children's Shel- ter Committee was react, It stated. that in the spring the committee had advertised for homes for children, and homes had been found for eight wards, thus reducing the number in the Shelter to eight. Acting upon the recommendation of the Grand Jury, the committee have had fire extinguishers installed in ,the Shelter and have also purchased a new electric washing machine. The. committee recommended that the superintendent be reimbursed at the rate of $500 per year for the re- duction in his salary clue to the low rating accorded the Children's Shel- ter here; that new flooring be laid in the kitchen of the Shelter. The report also pays tribute to the matron, Mrs. Oliver, for her untiring work at the Shelter. The report was tabled for discussion later, Motions Presented Bowman -Mawhinney: that the coun- cil adopt suggestions made by the clerk re the improvements in order of business.—Carried.

A reply was read from the Dept. of Health regarding a resolution. of the county council which requested the government to safeguard the county against accounts of indigent . patients in county hospitals, whose cases were not properly made known to the clerk of the municipality from which the patient came and to the county clerk. Request Government to Take Over Road from Amberley to Listowel That this County Council invite the other County councils of Ontario to unite in requesting the Imperial par- liament.of Great Britain to amend the British North America Act so as to abolish , the Provincial legislature throughout, the Dominion of Canada on the grounds of economy and as a The tendency of the times is defin- relief to the taxpayers of the country hely toward State Socialism. Three and have our public business conduct great nations, Russia, Italy and Ger ed as it is in the Old Land and that many, now function under socialistic forms' of government. The theory of State Socialism is that the citizen's first allegiance is to the state. Human nature being what it is, individuals cannot be uniformly subservient to the State unless the State is prepared to use force to com- pel subservience. Dictators arise in times of distress because they can muster enough dis- contented people behind them to en- able them to seize control, and they ;maintain themselves in power by force „and threats of force. Sometimes a .-dictatorship works pretty well for a -while, but we do not think the people .of the British Empire or the United States have reached the depth of des- pair which would make thein willing to sacrifice their individual rights to even the most benevolent of dictators. * * * * .BYNG OF VIM? IS DEAD The people of the British Empire -were sad indeed when word was flash- ed around the world that Viscount 1Byng of. Vimy had died. In no part •of,, the Empire is he more sincerely mourned than Canada. He was a great -soldier and a beloved leader of the Canadian Corps in France prior ,to General Sir Arthur Currie. As Governor-General of Canada a copy of this motion be sent to all County councils in Ontario, was the text of a resolution carried unani- mously at the opening session of the Huron County Council at Goderich on Tuesday afternoon of last week. The motion. was presented by Reeves Scott and Keys. RBCIPE Warden Sweitzer, opening the ses- sion, remarked on the beauty of the country and the promising apeparance of the crops. "These things should put the members of the council in a good mood and should serve to pro- mote co-operation," he said. Outlining the business of the ses- sions, Mr. Sweitzer paid particular at- tention to the fact that the govern- ment had reduced its contribution to the Children's Shelter inspector's sal- ary by $500. At a meeting of the com- mittee he hadsuggested that the county should make up the deficit un- til the status of the society was raised to warrant an increased government grant. Speaking of the rate, the war- den stated that it would be up to the council to decide whether or not it would pay the entire 1934 highway bill or half of it. The following communications were read by the county clerk: A letter from the County of Lin- coln enclosing a resolution regarding from 1921 to 1926, he made a name .banking interest,—Referred to finance The question of whether township clerks should .receive remuneration for their work in completing Old Age Pension applications brought about some heated discussion at, the after- noon session. Reeve Bowman stated that under the old commission the cost was from $400 to $500 a year while the new system was costing twice that amount. A notion had been sent to the fin- ance committee in the morning ses- sion recommending that township clerks be paid $1 per application but Mr. Gamble claimed that this was not sufficient. One communication was the ac- count of Hay Township for the cost of transporting an indigent family to Glasgow, Scotland. The bill was for $405..73, H. T. Edwards, explained the case stating that it was far cheaper to deport them than to pay for med- ical treatment which was inevitable owing to their condition. Mr. Edwards then presented the Children's Shelter report, most/ of which was given in the shelter com- mission's report. He told tate council that nine children were adopted and eight are. still in the shelter. Miss Huron, (Lois Campbell, Huron Coun- ty's ward) is progressing well, according to the superintendent, She now weighs sixteen pounds as com- pared with six pounds when she be- came a ward some months ago. In 'explaining the E grading given the Shelter here by the Pttblic. Wel- fare Department, Mr, Edwards stat- ed that the gradingis based more 011 preventative work than on the condi- tion of the Shelter itself.
