We stayed In Ottawa overni^nt, and reached St. JovitC in the Laurentians next morning, after a lovely scenic drive over snowy mountain roads. We thor­ oughly enjoyed a strenuous skLlng weekend, then left for London at 8 p.m. on Sunday, arriving at 10.30 next morning, Much of the credit for this wonderful winter trip goes to our Hillman! Even in deep snow, we cruised serenely along .with ample power and traction. We covered a total of 1150 smiles, at an average speed of 48 mph.

A regional meeting sponsored by the Women’s Insti­ tute will 'be held in Zurich on November 25. A deputation from Lucknow asked support of the County Council of Huron in setting up a district high school in that vil­ lage, which is on the borderline of Huron and Bruce counties. The delegation was composed of Dr. Johnston, Dr. Little, and the high school principal, P. Hogg. Dr. Johnston said no objection had been raised by the depart­ ment to forming a high school area in Lucknow. The school has an enrolment of 100 pupils and he predicted it would be increas­ ed to 140. The assessment is 4 or 5 million dollars. A small part of Kinloss township in Bruce, and a portion of West Wawanosh and Ashfield townships, Huron, are needed foi* the area. "All we ask is sympathy and understanding and the co- opera­ tion of the consultative commit­ tee,” said the speaker. Assurance had been given that it was not necessary to take up all of the '.'ambitions -program.” All Lucknow needs is shopwork and home economics. Lucknow does not wish to spend much on equipment, said Dr. Little. By stressing hand­ crafts, not machinery, a better foundation for lab ox* is establish­ ed. Mr. Hogg pointed out that the small schools still do good work. It is not the intention of Luck­ now to rob any school areas. Lucknow is free of debt, and it felt that manifal training and home economics are essential, Warden Armstrong assured the delegation of consideration. Former Members Present Kindly feeling, reminiscenses, and good fellowship prevaded the council chamber Thursday after­ noon when former members and ex-wardens were present at the council meeting, having come to attend the warden’s banquet in the evening. Speeches were made by Thos. Pryde, M.P.P. for Huron-Perth, wh'o ’paid tribute to the late W. R. Archibald of Tuckersmith as "a great public servant”; also by ex-wardens Robert Bowman, of Brussels, Louis Rader, of Dash­ wood, N. W. Trewartha, of -Clin­ ton; Robert Turner, formerly mayor and reeve of Goderich,i now of Stratford; and former councilors John Winter, George Ginn, David Weir, and Murdock Matheson. •Many of them spoke construc­ tively of the future. One express- ■ ed the opinion that too much of the county expenditure is being surrendered to the government; it should, be kept as close to the people as possible. Girls and boys flocking to the agricultural office in Clinton are better dresed than they used to be, in all probability because of their interest in education, said another. Reeve Snyder read a letter from the Huron Old Boys’ As­ sociation in Toronto, asking that the film, "The Books Drive On,” be presented to them in Toronto. Gordon Bennett, agricultural representative stated that the money spent in junior extension work has benefitted 100 boys and 125 girls. Brief Model For Others The first brief on conservation by ally county has been prepared in his office, he reported, and it is being used as a model for many others. W. R. Doiigall, weed inspector, said leafy spurge is not quite eradicated, but is controlled. He said he has been receiving better co-operation from farmers. Martin Grasby and Nelson Mc­ Larty stated that full co-opera­ tion is being given to observance of tree-cutting regulations. The agricultural and the Reforestation submitted reports. The reforestation reported that 15,500’ planted in April at $40$, and 25,000 in April at $7.63 a thousand. The survival of trees for the most part has been good. County assessor A. Alexander told Huron County Council on Friday that he will make a re­ port on the equalized assess­ ment at the June session. He said fourteen days are allowed for appeals. The equalization by­ law will lie passed in 1950; and under the new system will be­ come effective in 1951, E. D. Bell, K.C., and Cochrane were promised con­ sideration of a request for a grant toward the erection of a 25-hed hospital at Exeter. The following awards of coun­ ty of Huron scholarship at the University of Western Ontario were reported by the education committee! Margaret Colquhoun, Clinton; Alice Laidlaw, Wing­ ham; Cameron Henry, Bruce- tield; X Grant Mills, Woodham; John Graham Wallace, Seaforth. An Oxford County resolution, petitioning the Postmaster-Gen­ eral to extend, rural mail routes to every township road and highway where there are rest- was dents, launched a lively debate when the legislative committee recommended, non-concurrence. that the should not Derry of more than It was contended man on the sideroads i be penalised, Reeve Hsborne claimed not : ten would be isolated. Reeve Nicholson of Tucker­ smith replied that he could not see why even that many should not be served. Reeve Beaver of Stephen declared the whole mail delivery system could be im­ proved. Reeve F. Sills of Sea­ forth wanted to know why the urbanites should not have $3.00 a year for a box. Others felt that the service should be given to all rural citizens; what is fair for one, they said, is fair for all. By a standing vote council Concurred Jix the report. Back Perth Resolution Concurrence was given County of Perth resolution peti­ tioning the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario to install lights in hamlets at no cost to the hamlet, ’Council did not concur in an Essex County resolution request­ ing the Department of Highways to enact regulations to govern speed and traffic in school areas and to compel automobiles to stop when school buses are tak­ ing on or letting off pupils, (.Endorsation was given a mo­ tion by Reeves Berry and Sweit­ zer that any member absent from the session without reason should not receive his sessional pay. A grant of $150 was voted a the warden for expenses of the warden’s (banquet. Caretaker James Sheardown was tendered a vote of thanks for placing two large Union Jacks in front of the council. A motion ot\ appreciation on his efficient caretaking .and courtesy at all times was also tendered Mr. Sheardown and heartily dorsed. No Clinic Grant Voted No action was voted request for a grant by Pfrimmer to establish a and hydro-therapy treatment clinic, w h i c h would need $25,000, James Stirling, reeve of Gode­ rich Township, spoke of the great loss of money because of the warble fly. He strongly ad­ vocated the use of a good stiff brush, plenty of elbow grease, and the use of derris powder, which he had found most effec­ tive. In answer to an enquiry from Reeve named of the Aldis, ior sanitary inspector, $2,600; junior sanitary inspector, $2,- 100; supervising nurse, $2,600; two nurses at $2,200 each and three at $1,900 each; veterinary, $3,500, paid by the department, plus mileage.
