How does a Hillman
go. in Snow?

■"On * Friday early last March,’* writes Mr. Mann, "we set
out in our Hillman from London, Ont., for one of our
• regular weekend trips. 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. Average gas con
sumption was a very welcome 39* miles per gallon!"'
The Hillman Minx performs magnificently in the most
. exacting winter driving conditions, as thousands of Hillman
.owners know. A permanent network of dealers provides
. Hillman parts and service from coast to coast in Canada and

-Children’s Aid Report
Mrs. Mary Chaffee, superin
tendent of Huron County Chil- .
dren's Aid Society, reported that s
the grading of the society by the ■
department had been raised to a -
higher level in -category “B". ,
There are 95 children in care; ,
13 new unmarried parent cases;
4 adoptions had been completed,
and 3 family allowances investi
gations made, besides 36 court
appearances. 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.

petitioning the Postmaster-Gen
eral to extend, rural mail routes

Sports fans are critical people. You’ve
got to score to get into the big leagues . . .
and you’ve got to keep on scoring to stay in.
Milt Dunnell crashed the big league back in
1942 when The Toronto Daily Star acquired
him from the Stratford Beacon-Herald
which had him for thirteen years, after
getting him as a colt from the St, Marys
Journal* Argus.
Milt learned sports playing, managing
and writing in that sport-loving area of
Western Ontario where every fan is a well-
informed critic and a sports writer has to
know his stuff. He’s writing sports for a
bigger audience now . # the biggest sports
audience in all Canada.
