COUNTY COUNCIL
(Continued from Page Two)
the members not to be stampeded by
extremes, Huron County has set an
example in this year of stress and
strain. Mr. Spotton referred to the
- lamented death of Mr, McMillan: I•le
concluded by hoping some good
thing would come out of the. Imper-
ial Conference at Ottawa.
A communication was read from
the department informing the 00.11.11 -
ell of the change it made in the cal-
culation of Old Age Pensions. The
Dominion \Government will pay 75
per cent, the Province ,15 per cent.,
and the county 10 per cent. The ad-
justments came into effect in . Nov-
ember and has been so arranged that
the county is credited with $2,629,87.
The' following committee was ap-
pointed by the warden to report on.
criminal justice investigation: Reev-
es Goldthorpe, Cardiff, Sweitzer,
Wright and Geiger.
The report of the Old Age Pen-
sions' committee follows:
Sixty-two new cases'were dealt
with and twenty-one ` re -considerat-
ions -as to increases, etc.
Since the Act came into force in
1929, 931 applications have been re-
ceived; 920 of these have been dealt
' with, and 880 considered by the cen-
tral authorities. The last pay sheet
showed 682, on the pay roll, making
a decrease of 248 from the 880 dealt
with by the central authorities; 527
liave received the full pension of $20
per month, 77 got $15 and 28 receiv-
-ed $10 per month. The payments
made have been as follows: January,
$2,358.72; February $2,251.10; March
$1,151.47; total, $5,761.29.
Owing to the re -adjustment of
the proportions paid by the Domin-
ion, Provincial and County, there is
•a credit balance of : $2,629.37. Forty -
live pensioners are in the House of
Refuge, all of whom get $20, and of
:this amount $18 goes to the county,
;fo rthe keep of the pensioners.
Children's Shelter
Report of Children's Shelter Com-
mittee: One meeting was held and
the house was in good condition.
There are twelve children in the
Shelter of ages ranging from 12 to
one year. The.matron, Mrs. Oliver,
deserves every credit for her man -
.agement. The report was adopted.
.Mr. Edwards, the superintendent of
the Children's Aid .Society asked the
reeves to report any cases of crip-
pled children requiring treatment to
him so that they might be present
at a clinic which will be held in the
near future

o'clock''Ttursday morning,.
Thursday Session
Thursday morning was Agricultur
al Day in - Huron County Counci
Adjournment was made shortly be
fore twelve o'clock in order that th
members attend in a body the fun
eral of the late Thomas McMillan
The sessions resumed at nine o'clock
in the rooting.
Ian McLeod, Agricultural repre
sentative, addressed Council, statin
that times had not improved much
as far as the farmer is concerned. I
was too bad that when there is ev
ery indication of a good crop, ther
is not better,remuneration, but re
cently choice steers sold at $7.25 on
Toronto market which looked like
an- encouraging upturn. Greater 'in-
terest had been taken in fruit as
more spraying material had been or-
dered. Prospects for fruit is esti-
mated at 60 per cent. of last year's
bumper crop, Only last week apple
scab had appeared for the first time,
but a fine quality of fruit was pre-
dicted.
School fairs have
number largely owing to the fact
that no seed is being supplied by the
Department and some sections felt
they could save that money. As the
county grant to school fairs has been
$20, the county will save. $165 this
year on account of the number not
being held this year.
There was more Junior work this
year than at any other time. A
Girls' Canning Club had been form-
ed and nineteen girls were in the
class at Dungannon. Two Boys'
Garden Associations were organized,
and a Boys' Calf Club in the vicin-
ity of Wingham was sponsored by
the Wingham Chamber of Commer-
ce and had a membership of eight-
een boys and was .the first organiz-
ed in Huron County. The object is
to teach the boys the raising "and
feeding of calves and care counts for
much," declared Mr. McLeod,
The annual livestock competition
will be held on June 25 and will be
the best in its history.
Parasite demonstrations have done
good work with sheep- and hogs. Mr.
McLeod concluded by inviting the
members of coucil to attend the an -

Agricultural Council
The. Warden, who is a member of
the Agricultural Council of Ontario,
gave a full report of that organiza-
tion. Many of the councillors dis-
cussed and passed the following res-
ttron
of r tiof the council:
s
Recommending to the Minister of
Agriculture that authority be secur-
ed front Parliament giving this body
the right to investigate the prices of
agricultural products, whether suck
prices paid to the p.roducer,changed
to the consumer.
That the president Dr anyone he
may select, is hereby authorized to
prepare a constitution for the coun-
cil and after submitting it to Col.
Kennedy, present: the constitution

'That the contribution of the
County Council towards the con-
truction, re -construction, repaving
and maintenance of provincial high-
ways bp reduced from 20 per cent.
as at present to 10 per cent,
That owing to the depressed con-
dition of farmers which is causing a
very large number to discontinue
their telephones and- because farm-
ers are still paying war -time prices
for thiss ervice, that an appeal be
made to the government and to the
Board of Railway Commissioners for
mmediate relief in respect to tele -
hone rates and charges.

Holders of Official World's Records
UsedDUNLOPT1rs
Every one of the world.famous racing drivers
who holm the 61 official world's auto speed re.
cords made these records on DUNLOP tires.
These drivers staked their lives on DUNLOP
dependability. Today's prevailing speeds,
quick starts and sudden braking require the
perfect assurance of tire reliability. For safety's
sake --- for comfort — for economy and for
smooth, silent travel, insist on DUNLOP
Cable Cord—"The World's Finest Tire."

HOLDERS OF WORLD'S RECORDS
Kaye Don
An idol of Britain, a living expression of British
sportsmanship, Kaye Don has figured prominently
in the pages of racing history on land as well as on
water. For nearly three years his time of 120.92
m.p.h. for a distance of 200 kilos (approximately
125 miles) has stood unchallenged, He also holds
the world's mile record of 100.77 m,p.h, starting
from the drop of the flag. Both these records
were made on DUNLOP tires.
TIRES GOLF BALLS
BELTING o HOSE - RUBBER FLOORING o TENNIS and BADMINTON SUPPLIES
That this council recommends that.
the Minister of Agriculture make ev-
ery effort to induce the Federal
Government to standardize the grad-
es of farm products, classifying the
grades as first, second third and so
on, but having no higher than first
grade, and that specified colors be
designated to represent the various
grades, as the present -method is' con-
fusing and misleading.
That this council believes that the
prosperity of Ontario, depends upon
a healthy condition of agriculture,
and, would urge the government that
rro- reduction should be made in the
estimates of the Department of Ag-
riculture.
That this coucil is of ate opinion
that steps should be taken . to prev-
ent other than high grade cattle be-
ing shipped to Great Britain.
That this coucil favors the grad-
ing of hogs, but is opposed to the
present system of hoggrading, g, and
would recotmrrend that an investiga-
tion be undertaken to learn of a
mare satisfactory understanding.
That this council recommends a
substantial reduction in the costs of
education; especially a reduction in
salaries of High School teachers and
school inspectors and that all extra
grants for the teaching of special
subjects such as music, agricluture,
etc., be dispensed with during the
present depression, The council.
feels that these special subjects
should be continued but not paid for
inaddition to the teachers' regular
salary. •
Advisory Committee
The report of he Advisory Com-
mittee was taken up clause by clause
with Reeve Francis in the chair, and
was adopted as follows:
1. -In view of the fact that the as-
sessed value of property in cities and
separated towns, is in the ratio of
1.7 to 1 for rural districts, and con-
sidering that cities and separated
towns pay for provincial and county
highways in the ratio of 1 to 4.7 paid
by the rural districts," we respectful-
ly ask that the Provincial Govern
ment assume the frill cost or at least,
90 per cent, of • the • cost of provinc-
ial roads at the present time, the
rural taxpayer is contributing an un
just share of this expense, Carried,
That the Department of Educa-
tion take immediate steps to have
certain subjects now taught in the
Lower High School moved back to
the curriculum of the public school,
especially civics, bookkeeping, shu-
ttle science as applicable to fanning,
nature study, all arithmetic and all
English spelling and grammar. Car-
ried,
That this council heartily endorse
the work accomplished by the Mix-
on County Live Stock Improvement
Association. and respectfully suggest
that their work be, arranged so as
to benefit all classes of livestock. --
Carried,
This coucil recommends that the
customary grant of $200 for Junior
Extension work carried on under the
supervision of the Agricultural Re-
presentative, be paid this year as in
other years. Carried,
Friday Sessions Tax Rate
Down Mill
A' letter of protest was read front
County Crown Attorney D, If.•
•rolntes stating that the remarks of
Reeve Goldthorpe anent the cost of
dministration of :justice, particularly
he McNeil trial,. were .. untrue and
uncalled for. The Crown Attorney
1
Made In Canada tuith Canad'i'an Wheat a
Y
SHREDDED WHEAT COMPANY, LTD t
referred particularly to the inference
that the Crown's case had suffered
because an inspector of provincial
police was a fuguitive of justice dur-
ing two of the three trials of the
bank robbers. He said he was both
surprised and shocked by such a
statement, which was wholly untrue,
and asked council to take action to
correct it and see that it was given
the same publicity as was the
charge,
"I'm not -going to back up. I'm
not taking anything back," said the
doughty reeve. Inspired by loud ap-
plause of his fellow -members, he
continued: "When I said it, I believ-
ed it and I still believe it. Where
is the Crown Attorney now? Why
doesn't he come here?"
Reeve Goldthorpe, who is a mem-
ber of the criminal audit board, said
he could produce accounts to prove
other assertions he made about the
alleged, excessive costs of adminis-
tration of justice in Huron County.
The entire newspaper article was
read to council: No fault was found
with it by any member. Warden
Rader was asked if he had said:
"The cost of administration of jus-
tice in this county is becoming a
crime." He replied in the affirma-
tive, giving as his reason that he
wanted the air cleared. "I have
been hearing rumors and complaints
about this ever since I have been in
the county council," he said. "I don't
say they are true, but I want to
know and I want the public to know.
I consider it my duty."
Reeve Gpldthorpe heads a coin-
'mittee of five to investigate and a
report will be brought in at the De-
cember session. Much work is in-
volved. Nothing was done with the
Crown Attorney's letter. .
Auditor Higgins of Hensall, gave
a resume of county finances, in
which he made several recommenda-
tions of changes in •county book-
keeping. He was tendered a vote of
thanks.
The county council picnic will be
held this year at Bayfield on June
23.
One of its last acts was to pass a
resolution ,vigorously protesting
against the abolition of county coun-
cils, The tax rate this year is un-
changed at six mills -84 mills for
general purposes, lis mills for county
roads and one mill for provincial
highways, but ? mill is saved as 34'
mills general will laso look after old
agepension whereas last year 3 mill
was set aside for this purpose,
The, county • this year will spend
$130,000 on county roads, which is
the same as last year, but it is ex-
pected that much more will be ac-
complished owing to the lowered
cost of labor and materials. Of the.
total $23,000 is for new construction
and this 'item was vigorously oppos-
ed by Reeve Geiger and other advo-
sates of lower taxes. Widening,
grading and ditching of a.stretch of
the Blue Water Highway north ;of
Goderich was given a stormy pass-
age, but was finally endorsed when
the entire report of the road com-
mission was assented to without
change.
When council was assured that it
could spend $10;000 as its share of
a total of $50,000 to bring the Clirt-
ton-Wingham provincial highway up
to standard, it gave its -consent, The
province has agreed to pay the bal-
ance, This was introduced as a re-
lief treasure by Reeve Mc%ibbon of
Wingham and was strongly support-
ed by • Wingham Chamber of Com-
merce. The vote was 20-8 in favor.
"Old Dobbin" lost an interesting
battle with the motor truck in the
ancient legislative hall in the dying
moments of the session when the
council overwhelmingly agricultural
in its complexion, turned down by
a vote of 19-9, a motion to sup-
plant the truck with horses on the
county roads. Reeve McNabb cham-
pioned the cause of the horse.

THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING.
1Time.—Jecob goes to Egypt, B.C.
1715. Death of Jacob, B.C. 1698.
• Death of Joseph, B.C. 1643. •
And Israel took his journey with
all that he had. It must have been
a strange sight, that travelling corn-
pang.
And came to Beer-sheba. It was
to the patriarch a place of many
hallowed memories, and of memor-
ies connected with Esau that were
anything but blessed,
And God space unto Israel in the
Vision of the night. As God had
spoken to him at Bethel in his
youth, and many times since. And
said, Jacob, Jacob. And he • said,
Here am I. That was Jacob's an-
swer, the answer of ready obedience,
whenever God called him.
And he said, I am God, the God
.of thy father. What a comfort it
was to Jacob to feel that the God
who had led Isaac in the way of
peace and safety was ready to lead
him alsol Fear not to go down into
Egypt. Hence the promise of God's
presence and protection was signally
needed." For I will there make of
thee a great nation, This was the
!promise given to Abraham and Isaac
and Jacob was assured that its ful-
filment did not depend on his con-
tinued stay in Canaan.
I will go down with thee into
Egypt. Long ago, at Bethel (Gen.
28:15) Jacob had received the pro-
mise of the divine presence and pro-
tection. And I will also surely
bring thee up again. Egypt was not
to be the abiding place of Jacob's
posterity. And Joseph shall put his
hand upon thine eyes. The promise
conveyed the assurance that Jacob
woulcl die peacefully, surrounded by
his friends. •
And Jacob rose up from Beer-
sheba. This was his final step of se-
paration from .Canaan. And the sons
of Israel carried Jacob, their father.
It is unusual for Israel' and Jacob'
to be joined itt the same sentence.
And their little ones, and their wiv-
es, in the wagons which Pharoah
had sent to carry hirer, These wag-
ons were little carts with two low
broad wooden wheels for going ov-
er sand, and high sides, and both
wheels and cart were painted in dif-,.
ferent colors of red, yellow and
green, for the lgyptiatls loved
bright colors.
And they took their cattle, arid
their goads, which they had gotten
in the land of Canaan, s It niust be
remembered that the patriarchs liv-
ed as nomads, having slight hold up-
on the soil, and moving their cattle
here and there as they found pas-
ture. And came into Egypt, Jacob
and all his seed with him. This in
its consequences, was one of the
most important migrations of his-
tory,
His sons, and his sons sons with
him, his daughters, and . his sons'
daughters. "His daughters" may in-
clude his sons' wives, not otherwise
mentioned. We are told explicitly
of only one daughter born to Jacob,
namely, Dinah. And all his seed
brought he with him into Egypt. The
following verses give a list of the
members of Jacob's family, seventy
in all, including the grandchildren.
JACOB SETTLED IN GOSHEN
And Joseph brought in Jacob his
father, and set him before Pharaoh.
There was wa a great
social gulffixed
between Egypt and Canaan, the
court and the tent, the monarch and
the shepherd. And if Joseph had
been; any less noble and simple than
he was, he might have shrunk front
bringing the two extremes together.
And Jacob blessed Pharaoh. "The
kind would courteously receive such
a benedicticin from such a man. He
was struck with the aged appearan-
ce of Jacob, and adressed his vener-
able guest with this question: "How
old art thou?"
