'CONFEDERATION" TRAIN TO
EDMONTON ENSURES PLEAS-
ANT, COMFORTABLE
JOURNEY
Canadian National Railway Officials
are being congratulated on having
continued the popular "Confederation'
in operation between Toronto and Tl-
mbnton.
This innovation has eliminated
Most of the delays experienced .by
travellers crossing the Prairies 'in the
'Winter• time as, it provides a fast,
eat r ri fortable service to Ed- :Ir9�ott It . r
montnni via Winnipeg, Brandon, Re-
gxiia and' Saskatoon: By this font'e
press their high appreciation of the.
services rendered at this board by
Mr. McQuaid,' and exteed their heart-
1felt sympathy to his widow and fant-
ily in the loss of a loving husband
and father, and to the people of his
municipality in the loss of a sincere
' friend. and esteemed councillor, and
that a copy of this resolution be sent
to Mrs. McQuaid and family.
The clerk gave an account of the
.Children's Aid Society meeting the
previous evening and matters pertain-
ing to the Shelter were discussed. by
Messrs. MclCibbon, Henderson, Cot
and Turner. It appears that under
the new system of management the,
cost will show somewhat of an in-
crease but all agreed that such in-
crease was not to be regretted as
they believed greater effeciency was
being secured, and contributions
which, in large measure, were cut off
on the county taking control, would
be made again when it became known
that contributors of under $25 would
be left to the C. A. S. to handle.
Mr. Hill asked what other counties
had done in the matter of grants to
the University, of Western Ontario,
and was infored that no material
grants had been made. On motion
of Messrs. Hill and Beattie, it was
decided to take no action at present
in this matter, which was held over
from the June meeting.
To Readjust School Grants
Moved by Messrs. Turner and Mc-
Kibbon, and carried; that we petition
the Department of Agriculture to ad-
just.the public school grants so as to
place Goderich and Winghamon the
same basis as other towns and vill-
ages in the county. At the present
time these are the only two munici-
palities inthe county not participat-
ing in the grants.
Township School Board Bill •
Moved by Messrs. Henderson and
Stalker, and carried, that whereas the
proposed law known as the Township
School Board Act had been fully dis-
cussed during the past three years,
and as the rural people of Heron
county have already expressed oppo-
sition to the proposed change, this
council respectfully' ask that no fur-
ther action be taken by the Govern-
ment.
A motion by Messrs. Henderson and
Dodds that a grant be made to assist
in the upkeep of street lights in the
hamlet of Walton on account of the
great benefit of these lights to traffic
on the county roads was referred to
the good roads commission.
Address by Agricultural Representa-
tive
Mr. G. R. Paterson, Agricultural
representative for the county, pre-'
s nted'his report and also addressed
the council on the invitation of the
Warden. He referred to the destruc-
tion of weeds, recommended the keep-
ing of more sheep, and ach esse eel the
spraying of' frtut trees. lie '
com-
mended •school. fairs, .public speaking
.contesfs and judging competitions.
Several members spoke highly of
Mr. Patersons work in the county,
and instructions were given that hie
report he printed in the rnintttes Of
the council.
County Treasurer Young addressed
the eonncrl, giving a' rather detailed
account of the county finances; his
report being receieed with interest
and appreciation.
Mr. Rawer, Provincial highway le-
epe:tor For this district, was pr eseet
and addressed the council with regard
to the county highways. He said the
clay for team hauling was about over,
andthat trucks were fast taking the
place of totems.
A inotiit�t,1>y Messes. Higgins and
Kennedy )rat the council grant e

sell and; the .township :of Puckcrsmith
to help mai itain the road east of

She :hurried me .away, to bed
To close my eyes till morning.
When, all at once 'I side' my bed
I heard some footsteps creeping
And quickly covered up my head
Pretending I was sleeping;
Then turning down the sheet a bit,
And just a little wary,.,
I nearly took a leptic' fat'
To see the little fairy,
His hair was white, his ..eyes were
blue, -
His cheeks were red and yellow;
I giggled, and he giggled too,
The merry little fellow;
He made his bow arid then began
His pack of toys unlocking,
And in a trice the little man
Was filling up my stocking.
Arid when 1, saw hint bow again
And' leave' without .a Warning
I covered up my heed and then
I laughed tmtil the morning.
So now When people try td blit;'fii_
My faith iii dear old Santa
I allvays tell them 'bout the night,
I saw him in the shanty.

SANTA CLAUS
Of all the joys at Christmas time
For mansion, cot, or shanty,
There's nothing brings the joy sub -
e
And cheers the home like Santa.
Some say "There ain't no Santa
Claus,"
But I am sure and certain;
I'll tell you how I know, because
I saw him thru the curtain.
And this is how it came about,—
The wintery winds were humming,
And I had just begun to doubt
If Santa Claus was coining:

C, A. Robertson, M.P.P., Addresses E
Council
Mr. C. A. 'Robertson,' M.P..1:'., was le
present at the Thursday afternoon .t
session and addressed the council at a
the invitation of the Warden. He 71
spoke appreciatively of the county a
council as a training -ground, es each
member was in a position to become
familiar withthe varied problems that
arose for determination. He believed 1!11
that at the next session of the :Legis-
lature
egis-lature considerable change Would be gs
made in the legislation regarding
hospitals. He thought it a mistake . ri
for. counties to ask for a reduction
of their payments on i'rovincraal
highways when they were constantly Si
asking for increased mileage. He en-
dorsed the increase in the gasoline 0
tax and believed the next thing would
be con ptiisory insurance of autniTh"-
bil es.
A number• of other matters were
12
lye ight up for discussion by members
of the council, and Mr. Robertson a
answered a number of questions.
Mr. Backer spoke :about the high
constable being called here and there
and expenses charged to the county.
It was the general opinion of the
council that snore control should be
exercised regarding the activities of
the constables.
