COUNTY COUNCIL
DISCUSSES STIFFER
DRIVER PENALTIES
Closing Session Believes Re-
commendati n is Too
String t.
HEATED DISCUSSION
County council spent a large part
of the final morning of its third ses-
sion of the year discussing a motion
that, among ether things, would can-
cel for life the 'driving permit of
persons convicted for. the second time
of drunk driving.
The motion had come up for dis-
cussion first on Thursd'ay when it
caused heated discussion until laid
over for final consideration; on Fri-
day. The motion was sponsosed'by
Reeves W. D. Saunders, of Exeter,
and Peter W. Scott, of East Wawan-
eshr.
Reeve Saunders in support of the
motion d'ecl•3red drunken driving was
very closeto murder. He.... --felt it was
a just motion and asked for free ex-
pression of opinion. "I would ask
those who lost relatives or friends,
are we asking too mueh? Is this mo-
tion ,too drastic?"
Reeve McNeil, of Blyth, said the
present government is responsible for
the alarming increase in automobile
fatalities. It not only makes beer
and wine available to everyone but
it increasesthe speed limit.
Reeve J. H. Scott: "Let Huron
county council say it is dissatisfied
with present conditions, that is all
we are asking."
is Too Drastic
Warden "Eckert: "I wouldn't take
a man's: 1i:cenee away firm him. perm-
anently. The motion is too drastic.

known to reform after they are 30
years of age." .He didn't see why he

driver is not the only killer. The
speed -crazy youths are :killing ten to
one compared with drunk drivers. He
then introduced an amendanent:
"That we, the county council of Hur-
on, encourage the provincial govern-
ment to, make the traffic laws more
stringent."
This produced some confusion.
Reeve Archibald, seconder of the
amendment, said he could not con-
scientiously vote "yea" on the motion.
Some members objected to the pro-
cedure, stating the issue eras not
clear. They felt they should vote for.
both the amendment and the motion.
Council voted unanimously on divi-
sion in favor of tithe amendment and
the motion was automatically lost.
Explain Mothers' Allowance
The Executive Committee, with
Reeve Saunders -in the chair, asked
to have the Mothers' Allowance Board
report discussed in open council.
One meeting had been held in June.
Clerk J..M. Roberts said he was chair-
man last year, not this. Various
members complained they could not
get repliesto letters.
The Warden said) that he had been
informed by C. A. Robertson, M.L.A.,
that council had overstepped the
mark in making recommendations of
appointments to the board to . the
geverent.
Reeve MeNall wanted to know who

HOPE FOR BETTER
CONDITIONS IN 1938
A field of oats that yielded 31•
bushels to the acre is described in a
letter received.this week by two Hen-
sall.ladies from Mrs. J. S. Thomas, of
Atwater, Sask. Mrs. Leeper. and
Mrs. MacDonald, of Hassall, were
among contributors to a oar of food-
stuffs that went from Hensel' •to the
drought areas and the better was to
thank the -district for its assistance.
Despite a large garden on the -
Thomas farm, there was not a single
product that could be canned' for win-
ter use. There were no wild berries
and potatoes and carrots were small
like marbles, while turnips were very
bitter. Hardly any cobs formed on
the corn. Many farmers in the dis-
trict never used their binders, the
grain being so short the binder would
not cut it, hirs. Thomas said.
Her letter is as follows:
"Dear Friends: Although I am a
stranger to you; I feel I can call you
friends, for the people of Ontario.
have been friends indeed, by their
kindness, sympathy and generosity, to
the people of Saskatchewan.
A wonderful assorted car arrived
in Atwater. It was unloaded into the
Community Hall, unpacked, then dis-
tributed es fairly as possible, taking
into .consideration the size of the
family and its needs.
Among our share was a five -pound
pail of honey donated by you. We
wish to thank you very much indeed.
My family is very fond of toast and
honey for breakfast. The taste of this
honey is •somewhat different' to the
honey we have had and we like it.
Conditions are worse to the south
and west of us. We farm one-half
section and had 200 acres in crop, . but
reaped little. Rye yielded 4 bushels
to the acre" and oats 3iys 'an -d-- barley
a little better We were.fortunate
that our land' was mostly summer fal-
low er we would have had nothing. -
Many farmers in this district never
had the binder in use. The crops
that grew were so short that the bina
der would hardly cut it, that is. to
form a sheaf.
Our potatoes were, small like mar-
bles; carrots the sane. Turnips were
better but they aro very bitter. Corn'
hardly formed any cobs at all. We
had a large garden, too—always have
—and tryllto can so much as we can
for winter. There was nothing to
can this year, not even wild berries.
Feed is very scarce and the farmers
have had to sell cattle because of no
winter feed.
We have had no snow yet, though
it's cloudy and looks like snow. It
has beetle -quite cold but we don't
mind that so much if the snow will
stay away ei while. We would like
lots of snow later so as to have wa-
ter around in the spring. Many wel's
have gone dry.
Still, we have a great deal to be
thankful for, and are better' off than
our southern neighbors •w,ho only saw
Russian thistle growing in their fields.
In September we had rain and lots
of it, so have great hopes for 1938.
So with many thanks, I am

loss of a horse sustained when he
was extricating Mr. Ball from ser-
