A mill rake of 18 oidAS, the sa;ine
as in 1956, was predicted for !pr -
on. County om Wednesday by A. g.
Erskine, county clerk -treasurer.
Presenting the 'first draft of. the
1957 county estimates, Mr. Erskine
proposed no change .in the total
county ,rate., but a ,Higher rate for,
countyroads, with a corresponding
decrease in other county depart-.
ments. Council adjourned its Jan -
nary session Friday.
The provisional estimates for
this year, as presented Wednesday
to Council, call for 4% mills for•( Home Operation
road purposes, and 7% mills for
general county purposes. Last year
the division was 4% for roads and
73 for general account.
A total of $469,118 will be needed, Sales of:
apart from road revenue, to run Milk

provincial aid toward the mamte

ed, the county has been paying for''I

er provincial offices in the coun-'
ty building at Goderich.

The heaviest burden on the coun-
ty treasury this year, the estimates
predict, will be payment of hos-
pital bills for indigent patients.
The suin of $95.000 is earmarked in
the estimates for this purpose; the
actual cost to the county of look-
ing after indigents in hospital, in
1956, was 893.954, and the year be-
fore last the hospital bills which Insurance
came to the county for payment I Dairy supplies
totalled $95.321. Miscellaneous
A steep rise in the amount of
money n.eeded to pay the county's
loan interest at the bank is pre-
dicted in the estimates. This year
the budget provides $20,000 for
bank interest on the money the
county will need to borrow to tide
it over until municipal taxes are
paid in December.
Last year bank interest cost the
county $14.080; in 1955 it cost $4.
198, and in 1954 it was only $1,118.
For several years, Mr. Erskine
explained, the county enjoyed the
use of money which was being ac-
cumulated to build the new Huron
court house in Goderich. While
that money was being held in read-
iness for the court house project.
bank borrowing was less. Now
that the court house is completed,
and almost paid for, the temporary
surplus has evaporated, and the
county is back in the position of
borrowing from the bank most of
what it needs to carry on for the
first 11 months of the year.
The estimates have been reor-
ganized this year; county council-
lors were told, to show "Court
house maintenance" as a separate
item.
Accounts previously kept under
the headings of printing, postage.
lighting. heating, telephone and
property repairs, have been group-
ed so that the cost of upkeep in
the court house can be calculated.
This revision in the county book-
keeping has been made in the hope
that the provincial government will
this year begin to make some con-
tribution to the cost of keeping up
offices of" provincial departments

Presents Report
Yc7u will find included in this
report the expenditures for the
year 1936. These figures, how-
ever. do not give the complete pic-
ture since many jobs are carried
forward to the next year. The costs
shown for any particular job in-
cludes equipment charges of coun-
ty equipment at the recognized
hourly rates, You will note a head-
ing, `Machinery Operation," credit
balance $85.817.40. This figures is
the difference between cost of op-
eration and rental rate, or profit
made by county equipment. In
order to arrive at the actual cost
of a job, a portion of this $85.-
817.40
85:817.40should be subtracted. The
method of bookkeeping used is
that prescribed by the Department
of Highways and is not similar to
methods ernployed by private in-
dustry. since overhead and depre-
ciation, to name only two items.
are not charged to•• -individual jobs.
The costs listed. however, are reas-
onably accurte. You will also
note. as I pointed out in the No-
vember session, that our bridge
construction is far greater than
our road construction. This fact
is brought about by the many wa-
ter crossings in Huron County. The
amount spent on construction is
limited by the money available,
and as you can understand, the
unsafe bridges must be rebuilt.
This limits the amount spent on
road construction to what is left.
If we are to keep up to our bridges.
we must spend $150,000 to $200,000
each year on them, and if more
money is not made available. our
road construction, I regret to say,
must, of necessity, suffer. It is
my understanding that most coun-
ties in Ontario are able to spend
far more on road construction than
is .Huron County.
Please find listed below accumu-
lative costs to December .31, 1956,
on recent construction jobs -most
of which are final.

Represent Huron
On OFU Delegation
Members of the Ontario Farm-
ers' Union recently presented a
brief to the Ontario Cabinet. Re-
presenting Huron were Robert
Taylor, Varna, and Carl Dalton.
Seaforth.
A synopsis of the representation
made by the delegates has been
prepared by Mr. Dalton as fol-
lows:
"We want parity or fair rela-
tionship prices; farmers must pay
protected prices for practically ev-
erything they buy. Our Union be-
lieves that farmers should be pro-
vided with support prices at par-
ity levels on all agricultural pro-
ducts sold on the home markets.
We respectfully ask Government,
through the Department of Agri-
culture. to support the .farmers in
this request when representing On-
tario at Federal Agricultural Con-
ference in Ottawa at every pos
sible opportunity.

"Marketing Legislation: Union
believes that the Ontario Govern-
ment has provided Ontario farm-
ers with as good or probably bet-
ter marketing legislation than any
other province. as the Ontario mar-
keting system for hogs is causing
most controversy among farmers,
We will support the sale of hogs
on the open market, through a
marketing agency, but see no rea-
son for dumping off at directional
points. We believe that hogs can
be sold direct from the stable, as
the farmer would know the price,
and also destination, and farmers
can have more control of weightsi
and markets. The Hog Marketing
Board has refused to even put one
such test on trial.
"Community Sales: It is wish-
ed by the Union to make it com-
pulsory to name the consignor of
each article or head of livestock
at such community sale.
"Salt on Highways: O.F.U. are
alarmed because of extensive dam-
age caused to cars by salt on
highways, We urge the Provincial
Government to investigate every
possibility of providing a substi-
tute for road cleaning purposes,
which would not be so injurious to
metal.
Brucellosis: O.F.U. would like
to make it compulsory, also the
• Warble Fly Act, over the entire
province"
"Municipal Drainage Act: Due
to various complaints received and
resolutions passed, it is evident
that some change should be made
to improve its method of proceed-
ing to drain or clean out farm
drains. whereby engineers have
full authority without regards to
cost; farmers feel there should be
some control over engineers and
be granted to an agricultural re-
presentative, who knows farm
problems and endeavour to regu-
late cost."

FIGURES BREWERS' FEAR
"But drinking is a CUSTOM.
Everybody in my class does it.
If you don't, you're a freak".
Not so! In a recent book.
"Drinking in College," baeed
on a report of a survey con-
ducted by the Yale Cntre of
Alcoholic Studies, this common,
belief is exploded. Table 95,
headed "Attitude Toward Ab-
stainers," tells what happens
to one socially if he does not
drink in college.
Amongst every ten of his
classmates, there will be nine
who either do not care or feel
admiration for the abstainer.
Just one will feel scorn or
pity.
And the girl who abstains.
Thirty-two per cent of her fel-
low students will not care at
all. Sixty-two will admire, ap-
prove and respect her. Four
per cent will feel hostility and
two per cent. pity. Almost
two-thirds of the women will
think BETTER of the girl who
does clot drink.
Stick to your guns, young
astainers! Help to increase
these figures brewers' tear.--
