Property} owners only will vote on the ques- tion, and the township clerks are drafting voters' lists now. Both Lambton and Huron have emphasized the advantages of in- corporating in their respective counties. In an open letter to the residents of Grand Bend, Warden Arthur Nicholson of Huron has said: "On behalf of the County of Hur- on, an invitation is extended to those residents of the Village of Grand Bend to become a part of Huron. Citizens have been considering union with Lambton on account of: 1. The sale of liquor; 2, Taxes ap- pear to he lower in Lambton in some cases.

How- ever, owever, a study of the situation indi- cates ndicates that a little temporary ad- vantage might be secured by a few and many permanent important advantages would be lost to alL Reliable authorities at Toronto advised that conditions respecting the sale of liquor will be no differ- ent, whatever County the village may become a part, because the Canada Temperance Act is a Dom- inion statute and municipal boun- daries are controlled by the prov- ince. This view is supported by similar cases as follows: 1. New Brunswick: King vs. McMullin; 2. Nova Scotia; Ex Parte Nagle. The lower-priced properties in Grand Bend on both sides of the county boundary have similar tax bills at present. It is true that some of the more expensive properties are assessed higher relatively in Huron than Lambton, and pay higher taxes, but any advantages these properties may receive in Lambton will be only temporary. Assessments for taxation are subject to revision and correction until they are correct, and no doubt souse properties in Grand Bend have been assessed too high. In the future the assessing of the village will be done by the as- sessor appointed by the village council, and when the village is re- assessed and equalized, more direct control can be exercised. There is a growing feeling in Huron that summer cottages and other properties associated with the holiday business should be as- sessed specially as owners do not use the schools and use other t,tcllities provided by the public for only a few months each year. Twenty-six counties have county assessors; Lambton is one of twelve that has not yet adopted the system. It is likely that the appointment of a county assessor will become compulsory, so that the effect that it had in Huron will then apply to Lambton. During the past few years Huron paid for work on urban streets to the value of 25 per cent of the road levy of the municipality. No other county treated their urban munici- palities so well. If Grand Belid becomes a part of Lambton, all of the business as- sociated with the courts, the regis- try office, the county council, and much law business will have to be transacted at Sarnia. which is nearly twenty miles further than Goderich. The Lambton portion of Grand Bend would benefit by being in the Exeter High School Area on ac- count of the extra distance to For- est and since one bus would serve instead of two. If in Huron, there would be a strong argument for admission. The County of Huron is a pro- gressive County. It has no deben- ture debt, excepting for a new Court House, and while most of this money has been raised and the debentures will be retired this year, the money has not yet been spent. These debentures bear in- terest at the rate of 1% per cent, which shows the high credit rat - 40 TUE HURON EXPOSITOR • MAY 1I., 1901• Walton Woman President of Huron Presbyterial W.M.S. "The World For Ohrist" was the theme of the Huron Presbyterial Women's Missionary Society, in the St. James' United Church, Exe- ter, on Friday of last week. The meeting opened with doxol- ogy and invocation led by Mrs. H. Kirkby, Walton, president. Mrs. Desjardine and Mrs. Allen conduct- ed: the worship service and greet- ings'from Exeter church were giv- en by 'Mrs. Harold Snell, and re- plied to by Mrs. W. J. Moore, Bel - grave. The secretaries gave reports showing advance in practically all departments. There are 70 auxil- iaries, including afternoon, even- ing, vening, junior and affiliated, with a total membership of 2,175, an in- crease of 157 over last year. There are also five Mission Circles, 42 Mission Bands, 16 groups of C.G. I.T. girls, and 35 Baby Bands work- ing with the junior groups in the churches. Eighty-five bales of clothing have been sent to Canadian Church Re- lief and to Manitoba Relief valued at $200.00, and Christmas gifts val- ued at $100.00 sent to Eden Valley Reserve in Alberta. The treasurer, Mrs. Sutter, Clin- ton, reported $19,747.00 had been raised, which is an increase of ing Of Huron. This County has about $200,000 of other surplus funds. It has the Health and Sanitation Unit recom- mended and subsidized by the De- partment of Health in operation, and its citizens are deriving its ad- vantages. It has the new county assess- ment system in operation. It has 12'0 miles of paved county roads. It was to give service to Orend Bend that the Crediton Road 'was paved by this county many years before adjacent provincial highways. It has a new Registry Office that has been paid for from 1949 and 1950 taxes. The County Home has manage- ment that is second to none,. and is an institution in which we take great pride. While Huron has been giving these services to its citizens, its tax rate is similar to that of Lamb - ton. Taxes will probably be lower in Huron than in Lambton in the fu- ture because the one mill Court House debenture payments will end this year, the Registry Office pay- ments completed, and Lambton will probably raise their taxes to pro- vide services already enjoyed in Huron. No effort was made by this Coun- ty to retain Grand Bend in Huron so long as it appeared that the pro- posed municipality might gain by being in Lambton, but since a stu- dy of the situation shows that the reverse is the case, it is the hope of Huron that the residents of Grand Bend will decide to remain in Huron where it belongs,geogra- phically."

About 360 guests sat down to a tasty and bountiful dinner in the basement of the church. Afternoon Session The afternoon session was open- ed with Hymn 52, "Ili' Ghrist There is No East or West," with Mrs. Kirkby again presiding. The wor- ship service was conducted by Mrs. Robertson. In Memoriam service was conducted by Mrs. Hugh Wil- son, Clinton. The address of the afternoon was given by Miss Ethel McEachern, formerly of Korea. She told that the people of Korea were kind, hos- pitable and over -generous, but for decades they have suffered perse- cution and been ruled by stronger nations. At present there are thou- sands homeless and seeking refuge and food anywhere, many losing their families and many their lives. Whole villages are being wiped out. The remaining Christians are still loyal to the church. The Koreans have accepted the gospel readily but the cause had been hampered because of insufficient funds and missionaries. Christianity appeal- ed to them and the more they have to suffer the deeper is their re- ligious fervor. In 1919 the Koreans asked for self-government for their people, but the movement failed and thousands were arrested and imprisoned. They were allowed one book ., to read. so the Christians chose the Ilihle and formed Bible schools in the prisons. This was the Church's opportunity to Chris - Clinton W. A. Plans Strawberry Social The Women's Association met Tuesday, May 1, with the president, Mrs. J. Radford, in the chair. Af- ter the usual - opening exercise, Mrs: Maltby' Conducted the devo- tional period, taking as her subject the parable of the sower. Miss. E. Plumsteel read the lesson from Mark 4:1-21. Mrs. R. G. Bennett contributed a solo, "My Mothers Smile," and Miss Elizabeth Lavis gave a piano solo. Mrs. Wilste gave a reading, "The New Organ." It was decided to hold a strawber- ry social in the near future. Plans for it were left with the executive. Mr, Bruce Tyndall wears a broad. smile, He has a new daughter, born in Scott Memorial Hospital, Seaforth, on Sunday, April 29. Mr. Robert Andrews visited Mr. and Mrs. F. Townsend on Tuesday of last we'ek. Mr. and Mrs. M. Wiltse and Mr. and Mrs. F. Townsend called on Auburn friends on -Sunday. Those from Ontario St. Church who attended the Presbyterial in Exeter on Friday last were: Rev. and Mrs. Woolfrey, Mrs. Maltby, Mrs. McMurray, Mrs. Wheatley, Mrs. Aiken, Mrs. Webster, Mrs. N. Carter, Mrs. Townsend, Miss Athel MacEachern, a returned mission- ary from Korea, was the guest speaker and Miss Bonwick gave a talk on the literature of the W.M.S. Sunday School Has Anniversary Sunday School anniversary was held in Ontario St. Church on Sun- day, April 29, with a good attend, ance, and Rev. M. G. Newton, of Holmesville, as, guest speaker, who spoke to the children from Luke 2:52: "Jesus grew in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and. man." The speaker likened their lives to a kite which makes no progress unless well balanced and having a string to hold it down, which was really the thing which lifted it up. 'Mr. Bob Elliott read, the lesson from Mark 10:13-27. The junior choir officiated and gave two well -rendered numbers, "Cheer Our Way" and a double trio, "The 42nd Psalm.' "Is Madge still looking for her ideal man?" "Good heavens, no! She's far too busy looking for a thusband." • Doctor: "Well, nurse, how is the patient?" Nurse: "I gave him the figs you ordered, doctor, brit he keeps ask for datesv" ' demise Korea, but it wam loat. In the non Christian home an Korea the girl baby is not welcome and is given no education. Her marriage is arranged by her father and her eyes are selled during the marriage ceremony, and she is tak- en aken to the home of her husband and only then does she see the man she, has married. In the home she is a drudge to her husband and his family. The Christian religion has changed conditions for these wo- men and if all the men failed they would not give up Christianity. Too many supplies cannot be sent to these people for their need is greater than we can imagine. Many are living in caves and dug- outs and have no way of obtaining food or clothing. Miss McEachern told of 50 babies lying in one room on brown paper without a stitch of clothing on them. The soldiers had gathered them in to the refugee station as there was no one to care for them.

Raw materials are shown at 103.7% and wages of Massey Harris Canadian plants 119.1% increase over 1941. Yet Massey -Harris prices of Canadian - made products were increased only 53% in the same period.

Farm implement price indices increased only 53% whereas there was an increase in the price of farm products of 82.3% and farm wage rates of 134.3%.
