This is due largely to a carry-over surplus of $23,393 from last year, but the expenditures take care of $12,500 carried to the reserve fund, an allowance of $2,500 for the county hiistory, and $3,171 discount on county rates. "There do not appear to be as many municipalities prepay- ing their rates this year," the report stated; "therefore there will be less monies available for reinvestment. One, of course, offsets the other, with less ex- penditure and discount on coun- ty rates and in turn less rev- enue coming in 'under miscel- laneous items, available through the sale of Christmas seals.

Crop Report Children's Aid Worried A Cut worm that feeds under- ground is causing considerable damage to corn planted in real old sod fields. A number of people are put- ting up high dry matter silage —haying is quite prevalent. All crops are making good growth. 0' t Number of Teen Age Mothers Goderich—"It is amazing how many unmarried parents are just in their teens and not even out of school," Miss Clare McGowan said in presenting to county council her report as local di- rector of the Huron Children's Aid Society. "I have been much concerned this past year," she said, "hear- ing of some teen-agers who have been forced to get married be- cause there was a baby coming. I say `forced' by relatives and friends, because that is what is told me. I am concerned be- cause if these two young people want to get married and are mature enough to accept the re- sponsibility of a home and fam- ily, God bless them, but if they are not ready it is a terrible thing for them to get married, because we will have them later on, perhaps within a year, in divorce proceedings. Sometimes it would be far better for them to give up the baby dr board it in foster care until they are in position to marry and have their child with them. That is something I feel very keenly about, and sometimes we won- der if we should wait to be asked to go and see a pregnant girl and tell her we are able to help her. If you people un- derstand the situation and could restate it to people who need this sort of help, it would save Plan Banquet To Honor Me ;bersof Combines' Team Final arrangements have been completed to honour the mem- bers of the Hensall-Zurich Com- bines at a public banquet in the Hensall Arena on Friday, June 19.

The earlier that the expectant mother contacts us, the more help we can be to her, so we do appreciate early referrals. We can help the un - Install Dial Phones at Hensall Bell Telephone installers will soon start the task of replacing nearly 350 local telephone sets in Hensall. Reason for this is the conver- sion to dial telephone and direct distance dialing service in No- vember, says W. W. Haysom. Bell manager for this area. "We try and get this work done well ahead of the conver- sion date for several reasons." he said. "For one thing the job of replacing one telephone is in itself a big undertaking. Also. we have to allow time to check back and make certain each set has been installed in good order and then run tests to see that all lines function correctly." In making the announcement Mr. Haysom mentioned that Hensall customers could take advantage of the installer visits to consider the convenience of having more telephone service in their homes. He added that the installation charge for extra residential telephone facilities is waived if the work is done while the in- staller is calling at a home to change the main telephone. The Bell manager reminded customers that seven -figure numbers will become effective at dial conversion time. "This means," he said, "that Hensall will join the growing group of exchanges here and in the United States that have adopted the All Number Call- ing (ANC) plan." Main advantage of ANC is that its use makes more num- bers available—sufficient to en- sure an adequate supply for many years. Along with the conversion to dial, residents will have the di- rect distance dialong system which will enable them to dial their own station -to -station long distance calls to some 80.000,000 telephones in North America without the aid of an operator. married mother plan for her confinement, and assure her that she does not have to make any decision about giving up the baby until after it is horn. If she wants to keep her baby, we try to help her with her plans for its future. "We keep in mind the baby's father. He has a responsibility toward his child and its mother. Very often he appreciates know- ing he can talk things over with us, -as- the- younger -one -are usually as worried and confused as the girl is. "If the baby comes into Chil- dren's Aid Society care, and the mother can contribute toward its maintenance, she is expected to do so until it is made a permanent ward or placed on adoption probation." The director invited ques- tions, and one came 4. om Reeve John Corbett of Hay: "Suppose a man is working and getting a good wage, and part of it prob- ably garnisheed, how much, if any, of the remainder can be be forced to give the wife to support two children and her- self?" Miss McGowan: "I would say that the judge, hearing ail sides of the question, would make a decision on the facts as pre- sented. When we make a child ward and the father is working and can pay something the judge will enquire about all in- come, outstanding debts if any, and then say, 'Yoou child comes first, and you can pay E'5 a week or $1 a day or whatever it is', and he would have to know all the expenses as well as the income. We weeded be called to talk it over with the parents." 0 Open Air Dance Will Be Free Something new and unusual' is in store for people through- out hrrugh-out this area next Wednesday night, when an Open Air Dence will take place at the St. Joseph Esso Service Station, at the corner of Highways 21 alai 84.
