TOWN COUNCILPASSES ('Continued from Page 1) The reports were adopted on mo- tion of 'Councillors J. J. Broderick and T. H. Jothnstone. 'Sonne discussion centered about the method of feeding transients. Ob- jection was taken to the number of tickets 'given out. s• "Don't you 'think we are using them too good?" asked Councillor Hudson. "Didn't you ('Mayor 'Suth- erland) gent a.. setting out?" "Yes, .on 'Saturday." "You gave a hobo two meals one might. That is 'going too, far," stated Mr. Hudson. "'Wh'o is it? . I didn't do it. Put ..all the cards on the table," replied the 'Mayor. "I don't $now the 'man's name. I was told he was given them at the 'Queen's," answered the councillor. The matter ended with a motion lby Councillors Eberhart and Hudson: That transients are to get their food in . the Town .Hall instead of meal ,tickets at the 'hotels or restaurants. Constable Ryan Speaks Constable James V. Ryan was ask - .ed to .explain how feeding transients at the hall worked out and said there was considerasble waste. 'Mn. Ryan 'went on to say that in Ibis opinion the day man should be Chief. Being Chief, Mr. Ryan thought, gave a man more authority. 'One man he was talking from the ,Library nearly struck him; another called him a 'dub.' "'When you get those knocks it is a little humiliating," stated Mr. Ry- an. 'Councildiscussed the matter for a Sew Moments but took no action. Wants Relief Officer .Mayor Sutherland requested coun- cil to appoint a relief officer. "What are his duties?" asked Councillor Purcell. "1He would make out the forms and -reports," answered th'e' Mayor. "'I think the understanding was you were to look after this." "There are more important things than relief. We must work together to get the mill and factory going," answered the Mayor. "Well, what about this bylaw ,the Reeve was going to bring up? Wasn't • it to cover the relief work too?" ask- ed Councillor Murray. "Well you can leave it and think about it," replied His Worship. Suggest Pavements Reeve Crosier in presenting the re- port of the street committee, sug- gested that pavements be laid as a relief 'measure. Half the costs of labor and materials is paid by the government, he thought. Mayor Su'therland presented a de- tailed report of the Mayor's Confer- ence held recently in London. ' Pass Grants Grants of $100 to the Seaforth Agricultural Society and $300 to Hlighlanders Band were passed by ouncil. Councillor Hudson suggested that the band (play on Wednesday evening and the stores stay open. The half holiday would then be on Thursday afternoon. "It would help the town ,out and bring business. I wonder what the merchants would 'think?" he asked. Reeve Crosier's bylaw for the re- rr,i.neration' of the council came befdre' the council and resulted in consider- a'b.'e discussion as to the amount to he received per meeting. . Reeve Crosier considered $3 per each regular meeting sufficient and Councillor Hudson agreed. Council- lor Murray thought $4 was not too much. At $4 a meeting council fig - sired out it would cost $464 a year, including . $100 for the Mayor. A inotion by Councillors Murray and Johnstone, setting the amount at $4, settled the mutter. Reeve Crosier sed Councillor Hudson voted nay, still thinking $3 00 sufficient. Mayor Sutherl nil mentioned the cost to the town nd said that per- haps it would save• oney not to ao- pcint a relief officer. "If I had your support and the work is satisfactory I will continue with the relief," he said. Accounts Passed Accounts and salaries were passed as follows: Jas: V. Ryan, salary, $55 • John A.

This was 'executed under (very heavy shell and 'M.G. fire." The second' re•- con-umendation, upon whish the decor- ation was awarded, followed the Battle of Camlbrai, October 1, when "this officer time and again made daring reconnaissances . . . He was untiring in his efforts and moved from point to point supplying infor- mation, keeping in touch, and assist- ing in reorganization. Previously, during operations on September 27, he performed difficult tasks of recon- naisance and liaison, continuing in his duties until forced to discontinue through utter exhaustion." Former members of the 1st Bat- talion will be 'glad'• to learn that Har- vie Dorrance is alive and going strong. Premier Gardiner of Saskat- chewan, 'himself a native of Huron, may finduse for the services of this good scout officer, who may be count- ed upon to sit through the House de- bates until forced to discontinue through utter exhaustion.

Psychologists have written learned books about the effect of col- or on personality and behavior and upon the interpretation' of our reac- tions to particular colors. There is no doubt that the calor of foods in menus has much to do with our enjoyment of meals. Good use of eolor makes even ordinary food pleasing and a riot of uncontrolled color can tmAke eating a horror. Of course, color is always impor- tant because we see our food before we eat it. In party menus color very ,often makes the festiveness of the occasion. We feel that such occa- sions are worth the extra thought and time it takes to match and con- trast foods to make a meal attrac- tive to the eye and still have it pro- perly balanced and good to eat. Civilization seems to have been a process of toning down the bright colors we loved as savages and as young children. When we conscious- ly try tol put color into a menu; our first precaution is to check the prim- itive urge to go too far in making up a color scheme. After all, we want the food we eat to look natural. Emerald green potatoes or pink bread mlay be interesting as a spec- tacle, but we are not so enthusiastic about eating them. Such extremes. are unnecessary anyway. If we want a green menu for St. Patrick's Day, there are all the green vegetables to ther, George Stevens, of Clinton, and two sisters, M'rs.

Watch the reds theugh for dashing shades. , The reds of toma- toes- and beets should not appear in full strength on the table at the same time. Yellow is one of our best food colors. It is easy to put into the menu and ;mbst yellows blend well. On the other hand, blue is difficult and is best .supplied in table decora- tions ---flowers, candles, cloth or dish- es. Food should be chosen to set off the 'blue accessories. Yellows and oranges, green or touches ,.of red worked into the menu will give a charming and colorful effect. Whatever our picture is to be, there must be a 'backgrou'n'd for balance. The golden browns of hot breads, toasted crackers, cakes' and pastry are not to be looked upon as flaws in an otherwise perfect scheme. • These foods are the balancers and background of the picture just as they are of the meal. They give the con- trast necessary for enjoying richer colors and flavors. The following menus have been planned to give both color and bal- ance: GREEN Pineapple Mint Cocktail Veal 'Chops Stuffed Baked Potatoes Broccoli Hollandaise Sauce Perfection Salad Finger Rolls Butter Pistachio Ice Cream Cocoanut Cake's RED (PINK) MENU Cream 'of Beet Soup Croutons' Cubed Steak Browned Potatoes Grilled Tomatoes Cinnamon Apple Salad with Crean Cheese Rolls Butter Cherry Tarts GOLDEN MENU Bouillon Toasted Crackers Roast 'Polk Mashed Sweet Potatoes in Orange: Shells ' .

(i ' Farmer"I reckon they did. My grandfather. put mortgages on this place that ain't paid off yet" The Index Number The level of prices of Harm, pro- ducts is a matter of great import- ance to the people of Canada. It af- fects the pus -chasing power of the largest single group of the population. and thereby limits the market for large quantities of indu,stnial goods. In comparing prices aver a period of time, it is rather difficult to establish exact 'relationships. Theseffore, sta- tisticians use a device known as an index number. This nrumlber repres- ents the relative position of prices at a given time, as compared with `.hose in a period wiben conditions were fairly stable and prices of the different groups of eomynvodities oc- cupied a reasonably satisfactory re- lationship. For instance, prices in the year 1926 have (been used by many statisticians as a period on which bo base the comparisons with other yearns. In 1929 the index of field crops (grain and vegetable products) was 94 compared with 100 in 1926. In 1932 the index :had dropped to 41 and to 35 in January, 1933. During 1933, however, the index rose to 46 and in 1934 ranged between 48 and 61. l Time to Think of the Garden The new seed catalogues are now out and this is the time for farmers and gardeners No smart planning the garden for the coming season. The average garden, if carefully planned, can be made to ;pradblce an abundance of cheap but 'healthful and nourish- ing food for summer use se 'well as for storage for winter. The well- managed garden may be relied on to provide the farmer with up to forty peri cent. of hi,s food requirements. Many of the vegetable erops lend themselves to successional sowing snaking it praseilble to extend. their season considiemalbl'y. Trt should be' re- membered that tender .growing eeg'e- talbbleu are superior to fully grown cr'olps both for autnylnor use and 'Win. ter, storage.
