TTER THAN SNOW PLOWS A, despatch from Quebec city, which :Appeared in the daily papers on Tues- dah contained an item of news that should be of very great interest to the people .of this part of Ontario. This was the statement that with - e, in three minutes after Mr. Howard T. Barnes, of McGill University, had sprayed his special composition, "Snowmelt," over the ice bound sur- face of the St. Lawrence River about the Champlain dryedocks at Laugon, the thick ice had been shattered into tiny particles and the Italian freight- er, Concordia, facing the likelihood of being frozen into the dock for the bal- ance of the winter, was able to float free. Not only was the ice broken, but it was shattered into such small part- icles that even small boats could navi- gate over the affected area. That is an item that should bring joy into the hearts of all motorists, who want to drive their cars the win- ter through. Because if the thick ice that covers the St. Lawrence at this time of the year can be dissipated in three minutes time, what an easy thing itwould'be to melt the snow and ice on the highways by treating' them 'with the same composition. The method employed at Quebec in applying the composition, was a high pressure pump and hose which spray- ed the surface of the ice. That would be a much more simple and easy man- ner of keeping the highways open in winter than by the use of cumber- some and expensive snowplows. When this composition will dissolve thick ice in three minutes, it would dissolve the snow 'and ice on the high- we.ys in the space of a few seconds A high pressure pump spraying the snow from the front of a truck would clear the snow so fast that the truck varying it would have an uninter- rupted passage from one end of the highway to the other. And as the Provincial highways were cleared, so could the county and township roads be kant clear of snow during the whole winter. Keeping the roads open in winter for car§ by the use of this composition would be a simpler matter than oiling and, drag- ging these same roads in summer. But before we awaken too much hope in the breasts of the motorists we might state that this news item from Quebec lacked too very import- ant items in the telling. One was the effect, if any, this composition vemld have on road beds, whether con- crete or gravel, and the other was .the cost of it. If the composition will dissolve a road bed as fast as it dissolves ice then we will have to continue to be satisfied with the old fashioned and not too reliable snow plows. Or, if it costs like champagne, then its use will be confined to the cities and the driveways of the millionaires therein, because the townships and the counties, no matter what their tastes arid desires may be, have not the wherewithall to gratify them in this natter. Whatis to be, is to be, is a good sound doctrine. Why worry? For after all the best preventative for a cold is to carry a common sense mind, that has not time to worry or even think about them. ,14.10-11k7,1,6.

Mr. Casson's father, the Rev, Wesley Cas- son, was an eminent Methodist preacher and former Hudson Bay missionary, spent five years as pas- tor of the Methodist Church. Dur- ing his stay in Seaforth, he graduat- ed from Cobourg College as a Methd- dist Clergyman, taking the degree of Master of Arts. He later studied sci- ence in the Toronto University, and afterward organized the Labor Move- ment of the United States, along re- ligious lines of action, having a large Labor church in Boston, Mass., as headquarters. During a visit at the home of Mr. F. G. Neelin here, he illustrated his business efficiency sys- tem through a series of free lectures in Cardno's Hall with varied atten- tion. At the banquet Mr. Caston stated: "It was counting eggs and playing ice hockey near Hudson Bay that taught me the basic principles of efficiency. After leaving University I lectured on business efficiency in Ontario, but could work up no en- thusiasm. I came to London in 1897 but none would listen, so I went to New York, where I partnered with Harrington Emerson, the world's greatest efficiency expert. After re- organizing the Merchants' Associa- tion of New York, I returned to Lon- don just before the war. To -day i claim that many of my early c'ients are leading figures in, the business world." He has written fifty-seven books on business efficiency and when asked to define business efficiency, said that' the scientific study of busi- ness data showed 85 per cent. busi- ness knowledge is common and that 15 per cent. special efficiency means more money, more easily increased output and a higher percentage of re- sults. Bert, as a young man, will be remembered by many of the old time residents here. .10•••••.11.0•1•11MIA, eataskeeela1,71rINe 4114414 „o4• ••••:.

One doctor recommends singing as a preventive, another the eating of raw onions, "An apple- a day," says one; "reformed dress," says another, Cinnamon, breathing through the rose, avoiding stuffy rooms, never going to a party, never going to a theatre, never travelling ixi a bus, tram or railway train, are other preventives that have their fervent advocates. All these suggestions are excellent, if one had the :time to follow them. But we cannot spend all Mir time avoiding colds. There are other things to do in life besides this. If one must risk a cold by going to the theatre, one prefers to go to the theatre and risk it. These suggestions are all excellent, but did you ever pause to wonder WINTHROP Notes.—Mr. and Mrs, Joseph Little entertained the Glee Club last week. The evening was spent in progressive euchre. Ladies' first prize, a cake plate. was won by Mrs. Joseph Dol - mage; men's first prize, a tie, went to Mr. Percy Little: consolation priz- es west to Mrs. Woddland and Mr. George Eaton.

Why, in the minds of mid- dle aged and older people, of course. An apple a day is about the only preventatiive for a cold that a healthy school boy or girl would pay any at- tention to or even understand. Health is never in mind in their mode of dress. If they are cold they put era more clothes --sometimes; if they ars IhOt, they take off some—always; re- gardless of the season. They don't knoev what a draft is and, more -over, they don't care. And it is really re- markable what a beneficial effect this carelessness has on their health. They haven't time to take colds, nor to bother about it, if they should be at- hlete& But it is different with older peo- ie Time has taught them caution. et' Weigh results.

By-law No. 1 was given its first, second and third read- ing appointing officers for the town for 1930 at the same salaries as last year. The officers are as follows: James A. Paterson, Clerk; C. Cook, Treasurer; A. W. E. Hemphill, Col- lector; Colin Hudson, Assessor; Geo. Hudson, Manager of Town Hall and Constable; Mrs .George Hudson, care- taker of Town Hall; Colin Hudson, poundkeeper; Nelson, Blatchford, San- itary Inspector. Mrs. Henry Arnold was appointed to the Library Board. Joseph Hudson and Ray McArthur were reappointed auditors, and Mr. Henry Horton was appointed to act with them in an advisory capacity, as the council wished a thorough audit of the town books. By-law No. 2 was given first, second and third reading and finally passed, authorizing the Reeve and Treasurer to borrow such sums as are needed up to $3,000.00 to carry on the business of the corpora- tion for 1930.. Quite a discussion took place' on some of the assess- ments of the village but as the hour was getting late, the Reeve suggest- ed that the matter be left over until the February meeting. On motion of Consitt and Cameron, the Reeve and CouncillorPetty and Ortwein be the Road and Street, Street Lighting and Charity Committee, and on mo- tion of Ortwein and Petty, the Reeve and Councillors Consitt and Cameron be the town hall, firemen, community shed and police contitee, and the whole council to be finance com- mittee. The council then adjourned to meet again the first Monday in February. (From An Occasional Correspondent) On Monday morning during the first session of the council, Owen Geiger handed in a letter to Clerk Paterson, protesting to the Clerk against Reeve Robert Higgins, taking the oath of office on the ground that he,was not qualified to act on account of his being a member of the Huron County Old Age Pension Board for 1929, and com- pletely ignoring the fact that the Reeve was the choice of the electors at the late election. At the last meeting of the Pension Board at God- erich the matter of qualification was taken up, as at •the June session of the County Council when the appoint- ments were made, it was never thought that any such question would arise, any more than for any other committee of the County Council. It was decided that as it was the wish of the Attorney Ge -neral that Huron County should appoint a commission to administrate this act, it was up tea the Attorney General to give the views of the Department as to the qualifications of the members of the Board for re-election. County Cleric Holman was instructed to write to the Department and the follOwing answer was received: "Department of the , Attorney General, Toronto. It is the view of the Department that the mem- bers of the Old Age Pension Boards do not become officials of the munici- palities and are eligible to be elected members of the council and to sit and vote therein. (Signed) T. A. Humph- ries, Solicitor, Attorney General." City Solicitor Meredith, of London, through the press, gave the same view as the Crown Attorney, as it affected the Mayor and several Alder- men of. the city of London. Attorney General Price also stated to the press that if necessary, be would bring in a bill at the first session of the Leg- islature authorizing members of the County Council to act as members of the Old Age Pension Boards and the said act to revert back to the first of the year. - Under these conditions Reeve Higgins and dozens of other Mayors and Reeves of other munici- palities qualified and were elected with the whole province satisfied, with the exception of Owen Geiger, of Hensall, and it is unfortunate far our • village to have the possibility of go- ing through the throes of another el- ection which often makes a laughing stock of it.
