The Lieutenant -Governorship
The pot is boiling and there would
appear to be enough political fire un-
der and around it to keep it on the
boil for some time to come. And all
over the Lieutenant -Governorship
of the Province.
The present occupant of that high
and important office is His Honor
Dr. Bruce, who has filled the posi-
tion with distinction and dignity for
the past five - years, and who, it was
hoped, would continue to fill the of-
fice for some time to come.
And, perhaps, Dr. Bruce, would
have consented to. continue as Lieu-
tenant -Governor if the present po-
litical situation had not arisen to
practically make it impossible for
him to continue.
And the political situation is this:
Following his defeat at the polls at
the last provincial election, Hon.
Duncan Marshall was out of a job,
his portfolio of Minister of AgricuI-
ture, having been . given to another,
instead of finding a new constituency
for him.
But Mr. Marshall is a man much
more easy to pick up than he is to
drop again. And Mr. Marshall, it is
said, wants to be appointed Lieuten-
ant -Governor of Ontario. And it is
further said. that Mr. Hepburn is
not only willing to have him appoint -
'ed. rbut has asked Prime Minister
Mackenzie . King, in whose field the
appointment lies, to make that ap-
pointment.
We do not suggest that Mr. Hep-
burn made this request of the Fed-
eral Prime Minister, because he knew
it would place him in a very embar-
rassing position. But whether he
knew it or not, it has done just that.
Mr. King would like,to accede to Mr.
Hepburn's request. At the same
time he just can not see Mr. Duncan ,
Marshall in the role -of Ontario's
next Lieutenant -Governor.
And, judging by general comment
as well as that of the provincial daily
newspapers, the people of Ontario` •
ore very much of the same opinion
as Mr. King.
In fact it is the very general opin-
ion, freely and widely expressed,
that if Mr. Duncan Marshall does
not possess the disposition, the abil-
ity or the qualities that would make
him an acceptable representative of
Qntario's Cabinet, he certainly
does .not possess the qualities neces-
sary to be the representative of the'
Crown.

A Touch of Winter
We had a touch of winter over the
week -end. At least we did right
here: In other_ places it was more
than a touch; it was real winter.
In Goderich there was fifteen inch-
es of snow.. In Forest and Sarnia it
was thirty inches. That is a lot of
snow to fall in two or three days,
and so the motorists in those places
found out.
More than half a hundred cars
were stalled within a short distance
on No. 22 Highway, near Sarnia, on
Sunday. On other highways and on
the streets of many towns, it was the
same story.
It is said to have been the heaviest
November snow storm on record
and deems to have struck the whole
eastern shore of Lake Duron and
extended inland fora distance of 20
'Miles before: it lost its force.
Such a,. snowfall in the -districts
eted, is.nnUsuaI even inthe real

without it. They ean have our aero

There was a. time when snow was
a great business asset in the coun=
try. There was teaining to do. And
it was much nicer and much more
comfortable to ride In a cutter or
sleigh than in a buggy or wagon.
Good sleighing made good business,
But the automobile and the truck
have changed all that: There is no
more teaming. Everything -moves
by truck. Cutters and ' sleighs are
too cold and too slow, even if there
were any cutters and drivers left for
the young to experiment with.
It takes an open highway (a mere
road won't do) and a closed and of-
ten a heated car to bring business to
towns these days.

Pretty Near a Municipal Record
We noticed in a • newspaper ' the
other day that George G. Smith has
been given an acclamation and would
serve his twenty-fifth term as Reeve
of Saskatchewan Landing, near
Swift Current, in Saskatchewan.
That must be pretty near a record
in municipal politics, and we take it,
too, that Mr. Smith must be a pretty
good man for the position, or he
wouldn't have lasted a fraction of
that time.
We have heard of men in Ontario
municipalities who have been honor-
ed year afteryear, but a quarter of
a century is a long time, and we
doubt very much if any Ontario man
has ever lasted that long.
Perhaps the very frequent changes
we see occurring in the government
of our Ontario municipalities are for
the best. But some times - w•e doubt
it. It usually takes a man the better
part of a life time to make a success
of his private business. How can
any man, no matter how successful
a business man he may be, make a
success of municipal government in
the space of a year or two?
Of course there are 'men whose
term of office, if even only a year, is
far too long a term for the good of
his community. But 'those men are
exceptions, even if . there are too
many municipalities every year im-
posed upon.
The average municipal officer is a
fairly competent man, and' a man
who gives a great deal of his time
for nothing in order that his munici-
pality will reap the benefit. He does
not get credit for that, but neverthe-
less, it is a fact.
If our municipalities would keep
that class of men in office year after
year, we believe that most munici-
palities would be in a much better
position financially, and every other
way, than they are now.
And particularly is that so in re-
gard to the composition of our coun-
ty councils: We hear with increas-
ing frequency that our county coun-
cils have reached the parting of the
ways. In .fact that they have al-
ready outlived their_ usefulness.
That latter, we -do not believe. The
county council is, or should be, our
most economical form of legislative
government, because it is nearest to
t h e people. But, unfortunately,
county councillors in too many coun-
ties have not -remained satisfied to
remain what they were intended to
be—county councillors.
They have been looking over' the
fence into wider fields and forget-
ting or neglecting to cultivate their
own. Consequently the powers that
be in Toronto have been picking up
and 1)6/forming, one by one, the du-
ties that formerly fell to the lot of
the county councils.
If the Legislature continues along
this line much longer, there will be
nothing left for the county council
to - do, and it will disappear. That
would be regrettable, but if that day
ever arises blame will lie at the
door ' of they county councils them-
selves, and not at the door of the
Ontario Government.

Phil Osifer of Lazy Meadows
(sY'Harry, J. Boyle)
"iN THE CITY" •
Place "Sir Titmothy", our thorough-
bred bull, in the trent parlour and)
the results would be malting short of
scandalous. Take myself in. the city,
and you have eomethdng that's just
about the same. Just like last week,
when I . was coaxed into going to the
city to see my= niece, who for some
etrange reason every years persuades
me to come and see her. Mrs. Osifer
always refuses to go and I am always
weak-kneed) enough to accept the In-
vitation.
nvitation.
I landed in the station and stood
gaping for almost an hour at the dif-
ferent people. They all seem to be
in a hurry, and go bustling along, and
a fellow keeps telling about the trains
going here and there, and yelling in
a voice that sounds like old Flatfoot,
the Berk, when I stick a fork into
her for rooting up the garden.
Before navigating up to ..where my
niece lives, I decided to go in and
have something to eat. Now, I should
have picked out some quiet, little
place on a back. street where the
waiters wouldn't be too• particular a-
bout etiquette, but something about
the flashy front on one place with a
foreign name on it, set my curiosity
to working, so 1 anibled into it.
I had to tread mighty easy, because
the floor was as slippery as our back
stoop with ei coating of ice on it. A
superior -looking fellow came to the
door and took a haughty glance up
and down, and in that moment I
thought of a lot of things. Back at
Lazy Meadows that old black .suit of
mine, that I bought for young Tim's
christening is all right. It seemsua-
der the city lights: it looks. pretty
green. The pant legs have shrunk up
to show where the tops of my boots
have been cracked. In feet I wouldn't
be surprised if they even got a
glimpse of those woollen socks that
the wife knit for me. My string tie
may haveebeen fashionable years ago,
but t suppose fashions 2have chang-
ed. When I took off my hat, I' eould
feel my hair bristling up like the
thatch on top of a timothy -hay stack.
I managed to get over to a` table,
knowing that evetybod, in the room
was looking at me, and- I suppose
breathing some sort of exclamation
about the -queer-looking fellow' with
the battered old valise. Text to one
they expected me to open up the suit-
case 9,nd start selling pencils. At the
table, the waiter asked me something
about whethdr I wanted any "con.
sum" or not. I guess I said the
wrong +thing because when. I said: "I
airp to consume a meal alright," he
held a pad up in front of Its face to
cov1er a smile, *Ile wasn't a bad sort
of fellow though, and he just leaned'
over and said: "Better let me fix you
up with a, meal." That saved a lot of
trouble, butthe meal was 'pretty
skimpy. There wad a lot of little
dishes with dabs of this and that and
a bit of meat.
I was darn glad to ,get out of that
place. Of 'course there was nothing
w:jbng with that place, but I guess 1
cien't jlust fit into the picture.
My niece's place is one of those
apartments about a big as the house
bailt for "Suchansuch," the Collie
pup. You ve got to be -pretty careful
or else you'll slip on the polfssv
floors. When you. go to bed, you have
to sleep on a slab of bed that folds
out of the wall. Every time you even
sneeze, you have to be careful to keep
from knocking down one of the par-
titions. They lire out of a tin can
and a food store dawn in the same
block.
Maybe they'like that way of living.
I don't, because it seems too much
like living in a packing box. Then
they have a lot of screechy friends
who seem to be all excited and ner-
vous about everything in particular.
It's a relief to get home. Palling
into the old station on the "docdle-
bug," that's the little electric car that
runs into the city, the hired man he's
waiting for me with the car, and it's
a relief to get home -and find the
chores done up and the supper wait-
ing on the table for, me. I go in and
ay and talk while I'm stuffing my
face. Then I sit back in the chair
and park may stockinged feet on the
damper and tell the folks all about
my trip to the city. Neighbor Hig-
gins comes in, to ask -how things are
in tre city, and Tom Breen comes
along.
I begin to feel like a world -travel-
ler, and I get sort of expansive and
start to talk. I hope I'm pardoned
for my fancies, but they seem to en-
joy it, and I like to talk.
JUST A SMILE OR TWO
"There is nothing more unsatisfac-
tory than a boarding house beef
steak," growled the chronic grumb-
ler.
"I don't know," rejoined the impres-
sionable young man. "Did you ever
get a kiss from a girl over the tele-
phone?"
"Mother, when the light goes out,
where does it go?"
"I don't know. You might just as
well ask me where your father goes
when the goes out!" -
The maidenly school teacher had
been tempted into taking her first
moonlight automobile ride, likewise
she had just experienced her first
kiss.
School Teacher (wailing): "Oh,
what +have I done? How will I ever
face those dear little children .with
these two black marks against me?"
Young Man: "What do you mean,
two black marks?".
School Teacher: "Well, aren't you
going to kiss me again?"
Huron County Council
(Continued from Page 1)
The Warden addressed council and
expressed his appreciation for the
courteous treatment accorded to him
by the Clerk, Treasurer and the vara•
ious officials. He stated the finan-
cial position of the county was a creel'
it to the County of Huron. He said we
had spent about $4,000.00 on; capital
account at ,the Huron County Home
which included the pressure system
arrd other buildings and the archway
at the entrance on which are inscrib-
ed the words, "The Huron County
Home." He also stated that we would
have to spend more money on the
county road ,system to keep them id
proper condition, • failing which it
would necessitate a much greater ex-
penditure and higher taxes at' some
later date. He stated that we have
at present borrowed from the bank
the sum of $245,000.00 and the taxes
collected' for this year amount to only
$219,445.00 due to the fact that we
only collect one-half our county high-
ways money in advance, and the sub-
sidy is not payable until March or
April next year. He stressed the ne-
cessity .of a reduction in interest costs
and intimated that the taxes be paid
quarterly, both in the rural munici-
palities and in the county. . He said
it would suit the farmer better" as the
burden of taxation would be spread
over the year and it ..would not give
anyone a chance to capitalize on the
farmer during "the latter pant of Oc-
tober, November and December and
would tend to equalize the market
prices the year around. He express-
ed his dissatisfaction at the manner
in which the - Mothers.' Allowance
Board was operating. -As far as he
knew there had, been no regular meet-
ings, or .centalnlly very few, in the
past few years. Dhe Warden refer-
red to the question of indigents and
to hospitalization costs: Unclethe
present system. the local nicipal-
itv is relieved of hospita ' tion costs
at the expiration of the 90 day period.
and the county aseumes any costs in-
curred after that. He `said he did
not Seel that the municipalities s'hoald
share in any moneys which the coun-
t), receives froth the Old Age Pen-
-sions or any other source, as long as
the county's cost is greater. •than' the
municipalities. He again expressed
his appreciation for the co-operation
received from the :officials and the
Committees' and the county council as
Individuals. He cloud his remarks
by extending an invitation to the
Members to attend the dinner at- the
Pedford Hotel on Thursday evening
at Which he would be host.
