THE W1''GHAM ADVANCE
Thursday, Dec. 22nd 1921
The December session of the county 1
scouu it was held at Goderich last week.
'Tuesday would have been the regular day
but the electiorit being held that day
caused the summoning of the council a
day later
Warden Doig, in his opening remarks,
said he did not intend to say much
4verybody had been listening to long
€peeebes and he thought the best thing
they could do was to get down to business
at once.
There were a number of claims for
damages in auto accidents, one from Thos.
Pritchard in cornection with the acci.lent
he arzd his brother were in near Nile the
past summer, one from John B. Mustard,
in connection with his accident on the
Bayfield road this fall, one from Geo. F
Clark, one from Neil R:cKeazie and one
from John Swan,
The agreement between the County of
Weliir gton and the County of Huron as
to work on the boundary line and below
confirming same, were before the council
for ratification.
Communications from a number of con-
tinuation schools, giving notice that they
are open as such were received.
Reports of bniler inspection at the
:court house and the House of Refuge
were received. The need of a higher
chimney at the Court House was again
mentioned.
A reply from Premier Drury to cor-
respondence from this county as to group-
ing of c unties with one jail was to the
effect that an act provided for this being
done by volur tary arrangement among
the counties interested, where the daily
average number of inmates in a jail was
less than four. Huron County might
have exceeded this figure by a fraction
some years. Mr. Drury expressed the
belief the minimum might be raised, but
suggested that the County of Huron
should conduct negotiations with other
counties directly.
Oxford County is moving the direction
of the establishment of a central place
for imprisonment of persons sentenced to
be hanged and f r the erection of a per -
mazer t gallows, as being more economical,
and affording safer custody for the prison-
ers than when confined in various jails
throughout the country and asked co-
operation from this county.
Mr. Kernighan on behalf of the rural
telephone company he is connected with
has a claim for damages for the removal
of earth from the poles of the company in
doing road work.
The Children's Aid Society made a re-
quest for a grant. The Society at pre-
sent has an overdraft and accounts owing
wi ich aggregate $500. Mr. G. M. El-
liott, the county agent, addressed the
council on the work of the Society and
Treasurer R. G. Reynolds spoke briefly
of the finances of the institution. It was
emphasized that the Children's Aid
Society was paying well in the citizenship
it produced from children who but for it
would not have a chance.
Reeve Young of Colborne township
raised the question whether there was
danger of the Scciety providing an easy
way out for parents who wished to be
free of response ility for children that
were not wanted. To this Mr. Elliott
replied by stating that the taking of a
child as a ward of the Society was always
the last resort, Where a parent could be
made to look after the child this was
always done unless the interests of the
child demanded that he be separated
from bad surroundings.
Reeve Trewartha of Goderich township,
wanted to have information on the fin-
..
mires of the county such as he could lay
before his people at municipal nomina-
tions. A suitable statement, it was
agreed by the treasurer, will be mailed to
each Reeve before nomination day. Mr.
Trewartha asked further if the debenture
debt of the county was being reduced
The treasurer pointed out that the
$35,000 for sinking fund provided for in
this year's estimates would pay the de-
bentures maturing this year and also the
coupons. In 1920, $51,500 of debentures
were redeemed, which included beside
those which matured last year some
which were not due. Last year ended

A Merry Xmas to the Advance and its
readers.
Mr. Albert Gallaher spent a few days
last week in Toronto.
Owing to the storm last Sunday there
was no service in the church here,
Messrs. Win. Taylor and Gordon Wray
have commenced to cut wood for differ-
ent ones in this neighborhood. If any
one would like his wood cut in a hurry,
just call on these fellows. They are
hustlers at the job.
Why an Election?
Why should the people of Wingham be
put to the expense of holding a municipal
election this year, when the per capita
debt of the town is about the largest in
Ontario and everyone is endeavoring to
keep the tax rate as low as possible?
Wouldn't it be a good idea to elect a
mayor and council by acclamation this
year, and thus save the money it takes to
hold an election? The present Mayor,
Reeve and Councillors are working very
well and we feel that as they havea couple
of big jobs on their hands not completed,
they should be given a chance to finish
their work. Let those of our townspeople
who are looking for municipal honors wait
twelve months longer. This years council
is a fairly good one and we doubt if an
election would secure better municipal
government. o

"Afraid I can't afford it this year. It's going to be
very lonely here too! I'll get letters, of course, but

"Why that's simple. I can't go home either, but I'm goin • to
call my Christmas greeting to every one of my folks personally

"What a splendid idea! I'm so glad you made `me think of
it. Christmas won't be such a lonely day after all, Long
Distance will give mother the feeling that I'in not so far away!"
That's just what Long Distance is going to do for distant
