BEAUTIFYING FARMS For the purpose of making the farm home surrou•nclin•gs more pleas- ant and attractive, of increasing the 'value of the property and presenting a more engaging countryside which tourists can enjoy, a rural farm home beautification society has recently been organized in Carleton County, Ontario. The movement was started by the Women's Institutes and every- one of the 26 institutes in the county has pledged its active support and co-operation. The association plans to encourage the.,judici•ous planting of native trees, shrubs and flowers, the improvement of lawns, and the whole surroundings. .A carefully organized) program of farm home landscaping and planting, directed by an advisory council has been arranged. The members of this council are experienced horticultur- ists who will give their services, free. Throughits efforts the Association hopes, in the course of the next few years to make many homes in the eou•ntry that now have few attractive features in the surroundings, a de- light not only to the owners' but also to those who travel on the adjacent roads and highways. One of the first efforts of the Association is to be di- trected togarde encouraging a general campaign of cleaning up and making the surroundings tidy; the more define rte Scheme of beautification will fol- kow. Co-opeeating with the women's .int- pti;,utes are the different horticultural societies throughout Carleton County.

In referring to the mill rate he requested the 'chairmen of all committees to stay within. their esti- mates in order to finish the year with a balanced budget. He stated that the question of a new by-law for Hur- on C)oupty Home was not being over,. looked but acting on the reco eenda- tion of the Inspector of Refuges, he felt it would be advisable to leave than matter until the fall session when he intimated that a proper accounting system should also be adopted. He read the agreement between the valu- ators, Messrs. Mogg and Quinlan and the county, and requested that if the agreement met with approval that a bylaw confirming the agreement he passed at this session. He referred to the 'question of malting Huron County'a T.B. restricted area. He in- timated that an invitation was extend- ed to the members by Lions Club to attend their regular meeting on Thursday at 6.15 p.m.' He referred to the question of the abolition of'coun- ty councils, stating has opposition to any movement in that direction and admitted that while we are overgov- erned4, county councils are in no way responsible, and that if the govern- ment contemplates such a move they should ask for a plebiscite. The minutes of the last day of the January session were read and on motion of Reeves McNeil and Grain adopted as read. A number •of resolutions protesting against the abolition of county coun- cils and received from the various municipalities within the county, were read to council and referred to the Legislative Committee for disposal. Reeve Eckert inquired: "What is a township area composed of in or- der to ,get the extra $100 grant?" The Clerk replied that the Inspector of Schools, Mr. Beacom. would address council on Wednesday and would re- ply to his inquiry. - E. Douglas Brown, seconded by R.

Wednesday Mr. Ross Johnston, of Zurich, Corn Borer Inspector, addressed °cunei briefly in respect to the .work he wa doing as inspector. He replied t several questions put to •him. Mr. Erskine, County Treasurer, pre sented the estimates for 1938 as re vised from the January session, This report was referred to the Finance Committee, A report from T. C. Wilson, County Representative at the Ontario Educa- tional Convention, was referred to the Educational Committee. Mr. H. G. Taylor, vice-president of the Central Advisory Council, address- ed council on various tubjects, in- cluding equalization, education, aboli- tion of county councils, the work atone by the Advisory Council respecting Hydro, manual training and Chil- dren's Shelter. Commenting cin equal- ization, he stated there were three basis of valuation, actual, speculator'sand sentimental value. He stated that in England, in contrast to our method of equalization, equalization in `that country was based on earning power. He referred briefly to difficulties en- countered in Wentworth County dur- ing their recent equalization. Refer- ring to matters pertaining to educa- tion; he intimated that a man can have one million dollars and not pay as much as an ordinary farmer would have to pay on education taxation. He stated definitely he was not in favor of abolition of county councils, nor was he in far of further cur- tailment of the powers at present en- trusted to county councillors, and in- vited resolutione from Huron protest- ing against abolition to be scent to Toronto and to the Central Advisory Council, and assured council that he would see that any such resolutions were dealt with promptly by the coun- cil. oun cil. In referring to the Children's Shelter work, he staters that a reso- lution was before them asking mun- icipalities from where ohildren came to pay 50 per cent. of the cost of maintenance and the county to pay the remaining 50 per cent. of the ret. of each child. He referred to manual training andthe advantages f making it. a part of the education n our schools, The Warden exprees- d his appreciation to Mr. Taylor for he address. A (resolution expressing taoundil'ss ,pproval for the stand taken by the 'rime Minister of Ontario in respect o abolition of county councils was rdered read and referred to the Leg - Sleeve Committee to deal with. Mr. Beacom, Inspector of Public chools, addressed council regarding the question of having public schools i'thin the county take up r•eforetsta- on in a small way, His suggestion as that they each secure a plot bout .an 'acre in extent and reforestame. He intimated that such action mid create Interest on the part of he young people. Tris suggestion was hat the •county follow a plan as adopted in Norfolk County, that is to ay 50 per cent. of the cost. This would result in small acreages allov= ✓ the eou,nty being reforested- He uggested that a variety of trees be considered when planted in acoord- nce with the type of soil being used. In' response to Reeve 17ckert's in- quiry of the previous day, respecting he town;shlip area, the Inspector seat - d that a township area is comprised of three or more sections united can- er. a board of elected trustees and t the township councils most pass necessary bylaw by July 1st.

Now 63, she tells how Krus- chen restored her to healtheaad has kept her free from rheumatism all these years:— In 1918, an attack of 'flu' left me with severe rheumatismand I was in bed three months. • When I gat up I could only hobble around with difficulty and pain. My finger joints were beginning to srtvell, and were very painful. I was told that noth- ing could be done for the swelling- A friend recommended me to try Kru- chen Salts, which I did with very sat- isfactory results- To -day, at 63, my fingers are perfectly. straight, I am free from rheumatism, and can do all my own housework,"—,(Mrs.) M.W. Two of the ingredients of Krus- chen have the power of dissolving the needle -pointed crystals of uric acid which settle in your joints, causing them to swell, ache and inflame. Other ingredients ,of Krusv,hen assist Nature to flush out these dtss,olved crystals through the natural channels-; question of reforestation was a moat important question and he recom- mended to the Agricultural Commit- tee to give this matter consideration in their report, ' Mrs.. Robert Davidson, of Dungan- non, representing the Huron County Education Association, requested a grant of $50.00. Mrs. Davidson re- plied to several questions asked by members, The Warden assured her bhat the question of a grant would be given council's consideration, 1 Mr. Bert Thompson, formerly reeve of East Wawanosh, also addiressed eouncil in support of Mrs. Davidson's remarks, He advised that the associa- tion' would hold a convention in Brus- sels on June 9th and invited the members to attend, Mr. Govenlock, Inspector of Huron County Home, spoke to council re- specting matters at the • Home He also replied to several questions ask- ed.

BBwrnan, formerly reeve of Brussels, and now the present member of the Huron Old Age Pen- sions and Mother's Allowance Board, addressed council respecting the work of the Huron Local Board, especially referring to the need of each munici- pality in giving consideration to re- muneration to their clerks for their services in completing the applica- tions and for their personal report. Mr- Bowman replied to several ques- tions asked by m•enibers. The warden expressed 'his apprecia- tion to Mr. Bowman for the .valuable information presented. Mr. Patterson, County Engineer, ad- dressed the council briefly respecting road problems. He, too, replied to any inquiries made by the members. Mr. H. G. Mogg, valuator, address- ed council respecting questions per- taining to equalization, and in rebut- tal of certain comments that had a- risen on the day previous; this, gen- tleman went into considerable detail to explain to the councillors, the meth- od the valuators were adopting=a method similar 'in operation to that used in other counties and municipali- ties which they had equalized:- And to ekplain that once the system was put into operation and if systematic- ally followed in succeeding years, it would result in future equalization being more at a comparatively small cost, because there would be a basis ''n which •to work, something that Huron County has never •hrsd. He in- timated that as far as he was aware, there was no record of any kind to show how a previous equalization had been ina,de. Mr. Mogg asked' council to make inquiries respecting their work, either at the present tune or at any future time, as they would be constantly in contact with either the councillors or the clerks in the var- ious municipalities., Iteeve Bryans, following the value- tor's remarks, .expressed his apprecia- tion for the explanation given) and' stated he felt that in view of the comments in the press, it was 'only fair for council at this time to give some expression of confidence in, the (Continued on. Page 6) I . he Lireek In Ottau'a Tuesday, June let One of the chief Features of today's discussion in tibe lobbies is the new .propoea1 made by the United States Government regarding the St. Laws- ewe seaway problem. Apparently the United Stptes is prepared to go ahead with the scheme, with ' a two -fold pur- poge. One is cheap transportation for the midwest States 'mild the other is cheap electricity witch which it. will be able to encounter the power trusts supplying New York 'and heretofore gripping the country. In the new pro- posals the United States Government is prepared to admit the import of powdu- on the condition that the new propeeals be adopted, The United States wants to • get at the yob im- mediately. Canada would not be call- ed rpon to do its part till 1949. On- tario would be permitted to divert wa- ter in.Nort'hern Ontario, as .tthia prov- ince was anxious to do." Thee need for careful study of this whole problem is clear, The Province of Ontario has not been in sympathy with the plan, and Quebec has always gieven it the cold shoulder. Natural- ly it will depend on these two prov- inces as to whether the plan can be accepted or 'not. In the House today considerable discussion revolved around Mr. Dun - fling's proposal to assist the munici- palities in carrying on the construc- tion and improvement of self-liquid- ating projects- The Liberal Govern- ment will assist by making loans at very low- costs. No loan can be made Without the approval of the .province. This looks to be a splendid scheme to assist the municipalities, without a great deal of risk ansI with small cost to the ,,Federal Government. In the •evening there was a rather heated discussion again on the Que- bec pail<ock law. Afterthis the House settled down to consider further estimates_ Mr; Neill's bill, which is aimed at the excjusion of Japanese, was defeat- ed by 87 -to 39, This is the bill ,.that replaced Bill '38, which was ruled out of order. On the coast, the Oriental problem is taken seriously, A Gov- ernment body is now probing into it. * x s Wednesday, June 2 Entering the fifth month of the ses- sion, Parliament's work is far from finierhed, In reality, several of the largest subjects are yet to come—the Budget, with 'or without •the trade agreements; the housing scheme, to be of larger dimensions than imagin- ed; legislation to acquire complete ownership of the Rank of Canada; bills arising out of the committee dealing with the election law, and out of the wheat marketing •and the tex- tile industry :investigation. Then there is the Penal ,System which was also investigated, and many other prob- lems to be dealt with. . The short session last year threw plenty of work on this session, and no one can nrediot just when the end will be. In the House today the business was devoted to consideration of post office estimates. The question of the wisdom of letting contracts by tender or rural mail service was under dis- cussion. Some of the opposition mem- bers thought it should be under the Civil Service Commission, and at the same time these same gentlemen threw all post offices with revenue less than $3,000 into the patronage pot- It is rather amusing to watch the attitude of those when on the ('government side and whenin opposi- tion. When asked their reason for such a change in their viewpoint, they had no answer. Thur ay, 'June 2nd This afternoon session was devoted to h, discussion of the proposed thirty million dollar loan to municipalities for self liquidating projects. The measure makes available the maxi- mum amount mentioned for the above purpose. Loans will be at 2 per cent. It is specified., however, that the Pro- vincial Governments must agree iu that the municipalities are of their own creation. • The necessity is also imposed because the Dominion Gov- ernment, at least, without such -con- sent, cannot legally spend money for PJ fpureeSes wb,;<' a eenetitlltl'o7ik'lllty" are provintsial qtr.

Mc - Geer claimed there was. no peed, of that at all as the Government could give its consent to this project the same as it does to 'many others when the House is not in session. Iln the evening a long technical dis- cusson arose over the estimates of the National Revenue. Department. It related to the technique of adminis- tering the Customs Act, with particu- lar reference to the dumping clause. Mr; Bennett, Mr. Lawson, Joe Har- ris, R. J. Deaohman and Mr. Hamil- ton all took part in this rather heat- ed argument. The estimates were still under con- sideration when the House adjourned. •In the Senate the Railway Cominit- tee is struggling to get definite light on this' problem, Sir Edward Beat- tie gave evidence some time ago stating that large saving could be ac- complished by unification- He will have now to give details of this plan. Thatwill likely be next week. * o * Friday;; June 3rd Today was just another day in the House of Commons- Some inquiries of a political nature were made in - the House --a Bill about Indians, the Transport Act; and National Defence estimates.' Many members were absent, some in Saskatchewan and others were at- tending various' functions. • At the opening Mr,, Bennett wanted to know if the seat of Government had been changed to Saskatchewan, as it was reported that statements of Govern- ment policy w re being made there. The Minister V Justice, who was leading the House, said that the only Government that had been transfer- red to Saskatchewan was the Alberta Government. The Minister got a round of laughter and applause with this comeback. The Transport Bill is the one that enlarges the jurisdiction of the Hail- 404a T 't b lama -se,' en'tantflon t year had tee aid chargee.
