'County Road Commission
Since the last meeting of the exam-
en the work on the roads has been
carried out largely as proposed at
that time. It was since found advis-
able to reconstruct two oonceete and
steel bridges, and it has been found'
expedient to do a little more con-
struction work a.nd a little less of
other classes of work.
The principal improvements to the
road,s this year were the bituminous
surfaces constructed, of vahich" six-
teen miles was 'completed. The sur-
faces built are as follows: The read
from Bayfield to Varna; the road
from Dunlop to Carlow; the comple-
tiOn of the Seaforth-Brussels roadi; a
connecting link at Brussels; a section
:hrough Ethel.
'Ire average cost of this work was
about the same as last year, and, the
maintenance required on roads built
e;aviously has been very light. Three
hundred and thirteen thousand gal -
lone ef bitumen were used and,
spereed at a cost. of 0.7e pee gallon.
About four miles of new road grade
has beep, constructed, and ,nine miles
of tile drain's built, while 19 pipe cut -
vet ts have been installed.
A total of 62,000 yardts of gravel
were placed on the roads; 303 miles
of road were sprayed with chemical
at a cost of 324.25 per mile, and the
results indicate that a distinct ad-
vance has been made in the work of
weed control on roadsides. Ten thou-
sand feet of snow fence have been
ordered and Will be delivered soon.
So far as can be seen the expncli-
tures for the year will absorb all of
the receipts.
Agricultural Committee
Re NorfOlit County Council, re mar-
keting of farm oroducte, we concur.
From Halton County Council re-
garding tools for stealing fowl, we
recommend, no action.
From Wentworth County, re mini-
mum price for Wheat to Ontario same
as to Western .Provinces, we concur.
„ National Milk Producers, & Con-
sumers' Association of Ontario, Kit-
chener, re pasteurization of milk, we
recommend that this queation be left
to whole couneil; who ordered it filed.
Sine the June session of this
county council we belie beld 'one
meeting, being in the rooms of the
Agricultural Representative in Clin-
ton on September 7th last, both Mr.
McLeod and Mr. Shearer being pres-
ent.
It was decided tO Institute an edu-
cationial ca.mpaiger in regard to pro-
posal of making Huron County a 1'.
B. restricted area and 35 meetin,ga at
central ooints ln the county were
tentatively arranged for. This num-
ber has since been inereased to 44.
To this date 22 have been held, all
in the northern part of the county. A
goodly number of petitions, circulat-
ed in the various school sections,
have been returned to the Agricultur-
al Represe'ntative's office and have
been eigne,d by from 75 to 10,0 per
cent of cattle owners, showing they
are alive to the situation. Any op-
position seems to be froM those who
do not attend the meetings 'held for
diacueeion of Bovine T. It and 'have
a raisapprebenstien in the Matter.
Meetings In the trernainde,r of the
county will be resumed on the 19th
inst., and continued till all parts of
Huron have had an opportunity to
hear a full and free discussion of this
mormentous question,. Our expectation,
and hope is that at the January ses-
sion of 1939 this) committee will be
able to report a vast taajoilty of •the
cattle ownters of Huron will present
the petition to have Huron County de-
clared a Boy -Me T. 13. restricted area.

maintenance charges were paid in the
inetallation of a new cooking unit at
the County Home 'at a cost of $2,200,
and a new heatine plant at the jail
at a 'cost of $1,000; $2,300 will be
paid on account of the .equalized as-
sessment which will lighten the bill
for next year.
The 'Cost of Administration of Jus-
tice laaa been unusually high this
year and the cost of maintaining the
County Home has exceeded our esti-
mates by approximately $1,000. These
have been partially offset by the
Provinee assuming the cost of Sena-
tarium patients from July 1st. The
final analysis should show a very
successful year. The debenture debt
will be reduced to $24,080, two pay-
ments re Entai ni ng.

Property Committee
Re furnace for county gal, after
calling for tenders we accepted that
of Mr. Fred H.unt.
The Property C,onarait tee visited the
gaol on Oct. llth, ated after comple-
tion of the work an,d found that the
tenderer laa,d completed hisVeork sat -
i s fax torily. The ehai rman followed
the progress of the work at regular
intervals. It is the opinion, of the
committee that this installation is a
narked im)provement. ,
Re flooring in magistrate's room
and new blinds: A new flooring and
linoleum cove ring- have been ins tailed
in this ,roona. New blinds were pure
chas'e'd where necessary; otila.er blind
have been repaired.,

netted window for gaol: Two toilets
and two wash, basins have been in-
stalled. A new steel window has
been ordered for the kitchen.
Re eavestroughing at the gaol: New
eavestroug.hing has been installed on,
*the gaol proper.
Re Changing of rooms at, the Court
House: This matter has had the ser-
ious consideration of the Property
Committee. A 1^etter dated August 9,
from the Inepector of Legal Offices,
is at hand, stating the inspector
would be in Goderieh during the fall.
After receipt of this' letter it has been
deemed advisable to leave ,this mat-
ter in abeyance pending a visit from
t.lte inspector.
A new alectric typewriter has been
ordered for the Registry Office. This
machine replaces an outdated ac-
counting machine.
Respecting stairway leading „to the
cellar, this contract has been let to
Mr. Dan Harrison, and the work is
progeessing at the present time.
Reepecting floor over furnace, room
at county gaol: This contract has
been completed.
Re changing of room's at the Court
House: We met Mr. Moore, Assist-
ant Inspector of Legal Offices, yester-
day and the committee discuseed this,
matter at length - No definite deci-
sion was arrived at.
Respecting the question of Sky Har-
bor Airport to be considered as a
probable municipal project, we strong-
ly recommend that the County of
Huron take over Sky Harbor Airport
as to licensing and lea&ing of the
..neoperty and that the Wardeo's Com-
mittee co-operate with the officials on
the ,probleraes that will arise from
Sine to time. It is understoodt that
no monetary obligations will be in-
volved.

Your Children's Shelter Committee
beg to report that during the year we
have had three' quarterly meetings,
at which accounts of -the Children's
Aid Society were examined and pass-
ed upon. Visits have been made to
th^e Shelter, and it has recently been
redecorated. The building is now in.
good shape.
At the present tine there are eight
children receiviog care in the Shel-
ter. Three of these will be placed out
Ahortly. All the children are in good
health and receiving the beet of care
and training from our matron. For a
year our matron cared for an epilep-
tic child, and it passed away in Oc-
tober. We had the child examined
at a. clinic in Stratford and it was
also given the best of medical care
by a local doctor, but for the disease
irate which she suffered there is no
keown cure. A complete report of
expenditures, etc., will be submitted
at the January naeeting-F. L. David-

to the provincianconorention any reso-

Hockey Crosses
The Border
-Canada is losing her national game
to the United States. Perhaps that
statement is Slightly exaggerated and
premature, but assuredly something
like that is happening. Th.e Nation-
al Hockey League, the major organ-
ization of Canada's national game, bas
embarked upon its twenty-second sea-
son, and to borrow that political cam-
paign phrase of a few years back,
"let's look at the recoacr"
The office of President of the

dian, a,ncl the players are Canadians
in overwhelming numbers, but the
controlling interests a re steadily
creasing the border. At one time
Ottawa, Toronto and Mon-
treal all were active members, but to-
day there are only two teams repres-
enting the Dominion, Canadiens in
Montreal and the Maple Leafs in To-
ronto.
In the city of Montreal; in Novem-
ber, 1917, the present National Hock-
ey League was formed. At that meet-
ing a small body of individuals form-
ed the plan and enlisted four teams
to comprise the league. It was pro-
fessional, as it is today, but wages
were not comparable to . the present
stale. The four teams were Wan-
derers and Canantents of Montreal,
Toronto St, Pats, and . Ottawa Sena -
toes.
The game itself bore slight resem-
blance to t'he game we see played a-
round the circuit today. The found-
ers of the league 'bad no conception
of the eventual growth. The league,
ha fact, floundered over a period of
years and financial problems regard -
jog its existence were mere than triv-
ial. Artificial ice, for instance, now
a necessity, was decidedly a novelty.

Charles F. Adams of Boston.
It ,took the ingenious Mr. Admits, a.
successful business man and hockey
fart, to see the heights hodkeY eszwita
and should ,reach. He entered the
league with a franchise and team in
1924 with all the vigor of Ms keen (
business ,sartise. The fleet sign, of
"giving" major profeesienal hockey
to this country same right then. Mr.
AA:lame met with little oo-operationn
1 rom the Canadian operators at the
league.
His team was .known as the Boston
Bruins and their plight was sad in-
deed. They wan: exactly ,six games
over the entire season of 30 contests
and the situation was discouraging
enough te have driven out a weaker
man. New Yoth built its present

year and bought th.e players and' !rah-
chise belonging to Hamilton, Ont.
That purchase marked the siecond ma-
jor American inroad on Canada's.
hookey ,hegemOny.
The third coup came when Art
Roes, manager of the Boston team„
and Mr. Adams, actioally bought nut'
the controlling interests of the West- .
ern Canada Harkey League. That or-
gandeation operated with three teama
on the Pacific Coast, Portland, Vic-
toria. and Vancouver, along with the
teams on the Canadian prainies,'sEd-
nionthn, Saskatoon, Calgarry a.nd Re-
gina.
The Monopoly set up by ownrin
these players soon brought a substan-
tial return ,to Mr. Adams because
Chicago, Detroit, another team in
New York, and the, Canadian teams
were forced to strengthen. Canadian
iaterests could have engineered this
deal, but it was the men cm thisside
of th)e border who saw the advant-
age first and cashed in on it. Since
then' the league has rolled to tre-
mendous popularity.
Money literally roamed into the cof-
fers. of the National Hockey League
for years. The club owners proaper-
ed almost unbelievingly. The Boston
'team alone netted a quarter of a mit-
lion dollans, in one season. The Bos-
ton Garden of today was built through,
hockey, and 'the Montreal Forum, the
Arena Gardens of Tomato, the Chi-
cago Stadium, and, the Olympia of
Deteeit are nitinuanernts to hockey.
C,anadian interests gloiried in the
high finance as the game took hold tsr

of Canada were not even thought of.

hockey, were all part .cd the proanesa
of the game in the United States.
Now the Montreal Maroons are off
the scene, unable to keep abreast of
the fi,naneial demands of hockey on a
big seate.
Left in the struggle are two teams^
i n Careacka-C anadi erns in Montreal
and Maale Leafs ill Toronto. They
seem permanent enough, but look at
the other side of the ledger - two
teams in New York, one i'sach in Chi-

prospect, Cleveland, lining Up for ni
turn later. The President of the
league, Fran,k Calder, ie, ca Canadian
an,d some of the United States tuatara
are managed by Coneallans, but the
fic'ance and control has definitely
swung to this side of the border.
With tale awing, 'Canada is know-
ingly or unknowingly lasing its hold
on reefeasional hockey. The office of
President is, one of the few aenti-
meats left in the game and President
Calder probably will hold office for
s.ome time to come; but. the next high
offici-al, whether Canadian or from

the office to New Yale leaving Mon-

Early progress of hockey saw days
of rapid growth. Those days are
gone, if we judge fahrly. Them is a
profit in professional hockey today,
but controlling interests are still
seeking the profits of the golden era.
In the palmy years hockey poten-
tates made little provision for the
future and retrenchment today is
slow. The only visible retrenchment
moves are 'sad ones --the shelving of
the impoverished Montreal Maroons
an,d the inauguration of a ridiculous
play-off s'yetern.
In 1924 the line-up of the league
saw Boston, Hamilton, Montreal Ma-
roons, Montreal Canadieins, ' Ottawa
and Toronto. Five in Canada -and
