The public are well aware that this fund is used to supply Christmas baskets and provide the children of the community with bags of goodies. The cost of this indeavour is about $200.00 and the balance left over from last year is only $29.10, the smallest amount in some years. It is the aim of the committee to carry on as in other years but this cannot be accomplished unless the funds are subscribed. The public have in past years supported this fund gen­ erously but this year due to the small balance left from last year, a great deal more than was subscribed last year is required. Leave your donation at either Bank'. Be as generous as yoii can. It is the spirit of Christmas. 4< 4= $ ABOUT RELIEF According to reports the Minister of Welfare, Hon. David A. Croll, has been approached with the idea that Ontario municipalities should be en­ tirely relieved of the burden of the administration of relief. ■ At a meeting of the Mayors’ Con­ vention held in 1935 this was a much discussed question. We understand that the authorities at Queen’s Park are not in favor of having the On­ tario or Dominion Government take over all relief. At the time this matter was taken up at the convention of Mayors we stated that in our opinion the muni­ cipalities should continue to pay their share of the cost of relief and also to administer same. We are still of this opinion as we believe that in tin j end it will save the people money. • So long as municipalities share the cost of relief and administer same each expenditure will receive careful attention by municipal authorities. If the Government were to supply all the funds for relief and administer the accounts, the municipalities would be relieved of the responsibility but there would be a tendency for many places to load more and more relief expenditures on the governments as the municipalities would not be pay­ ing directly toward this fund. We are firmly of the opinion that the method of sharing relief costs. and administration the same as is now in force, is the most satisfactory and should be continued. 4< 4< * “s’: . COST OF GOVERNMENT Premier Hepburn recently spoke on the duplication of governments, and this subject will receive the attention of those who attend a conference in Ottawa between the various provinces and the Dominion which will be held shortly, Captain W C. C. Innes, Chairman of the Commercial Bureau of Canada, speaking in Toronto last week, said, the elimination of duplicating Gov­ ernment services and the establish­ ment of but one Government for the Prairie Provinces and another for the Maritimes would save the taxpayers of Canada approximately $200,000,000 a year. He estimates the cost of our Government in Canada at $900,000,000 a year. Our population is only 10,- 000,000 people and the above sum does seem out of proportion for gov­ erning such a few people. Whether it is feasible to 'do away, with Provincial governments to effect a saving is a question that would re­ quire a great deal of thought and in- NEGLECT OF CONSTIPATION* IS A SERIOUS MATTER Delicious Cei’eal Corrects This Condition in a Natural Way Immediate attention to constipa­ tion* is important for two reasons. It causes discomfort, and may lead to headaches and loss of appetite. It also tends to slow you down. When elimination continues to be faulty, over a period of time, your general resistance may be lowered. And a weakened body is less able to fight off the infections that abound in every crowded place. The most common type of consti­ pation is that caused by insufficient “bulk”$in meals. In Kellogg’s All- Bran, you have a delicious source of effective “bulk.” Within the body, the “bulk” in All-Bran absorb^ moisture, forms a soft mass and gently cleanses the system. This tempting cereal also furnishes vitamin B and contains iron. Two tablespoonfuls daily are usually sufficient.* Serve as a cereal with milk or cream, or cook into tempting muffins, breads, etc. How much pleasanter to enjoy this nat­ ural laxative food instead of taking pills and drugs. All-Bran is guaranteed by the Kellogg Company. Sold by all gro­ cers. Made by Kellogg in London, Ontario. * Constipation due to insufficient “bulk” vestigation. The duplication of ser­ vices between our Provincial govern­ ments and the Federal Government could, we believe, be adjusted with little difficulty. It may be that at conferences such as the provinces and the dominion are contemplating some­ thing will be accomplished in this re­ gard. Only 12 more shopping days before Christmas.

Bowman reported that despite considerable increase in un­ controllable expenses, the County had been able to stay within the estimates. He considered the criticism of the County Road Committee’s purchase of a new snow-plow very unfair. Dr. H. A. S. Voices, of Dungannon, invited to speak, appealed to the County* Council to take 'emergency steps to rid Huron County of the cause of -undulent fever. He said' that an accredited herd of cattle was ac­ credited only in the sense of tubercu­ losis and not at all for Brucella Ab­ ortus, and asked that rigid steps be taken to rid the dairy herds of the county of the disease. Dr. Voices ad­ vocated boiling all raw milk for three minutes. Motion was endorsed compliment­ ing the Warden, Clerk and Treasurer on tlie satisfactory condition of the county’s finances. A debenture in­ debtedness liad been reduced by $42,- 000 leaving a debt of $46,000. The following communications were received: From the Mother’s Allowance Com­ mission requesting names of Munici­ pal nominees for appointment to the 1937 board.—Tabled. From the Inspector of Legal Of­ fices expressing appreciation of the condition of the Registry Office. — Filed. From Sheriff Robert Johnston 'en­ closing the i eport of the Grand Jury, —Filed. A letter from the Minister of High­ ways re Dr. Dunlop’s tomb.—Filed. Treasurer’s Report 'Treasurer A. H. Erskine in present­ ing his report at Wednesday’s session of the County Council, gave a bright review of Huron finances. He said i “It is expected that the County highways will live within their esti­ mates.

Pepper vincial highways show an estimated deficit of $680.53, making a total of $7,308.28. Against this deficit will be an estimated balan'ce in the County Home Account of $3,000, leaving a net deficit of $4,650. In the estimates in June we figured on a -deficit of $7,500. In the face of an uncontroll­ able increase in administration of jus­ tice amounting to nearly $5,000, it would appear to have been a very good year. Had tlie cost of admin­ istration of j-ustice been normal, we would have ended the year without any deficit. Consider also the fact we have paid the department $29,000 on road account, which completes our payments. The inspector at the County Home has been very energetic in looking af­ ter estates of the inmates and has turned in in excess of $7,000. The re­ sult is that the County Home has cost us nothing and will close the year with $3,000 in the bank. Advised Consideration Ian MacLeod, Agricultural Repre­ sentative, advised the members of the Huron County Council to “go slowly” in answer to an enquiry on the pro­ posal before them to sponsor a test of all dairy cows in the county, to eradicate buicella abortus, the cause of undulant fever in human beings, said by medical men to exist in this district. Mr. MacLeod, though in sym­ pathy with the movement, expressed the opinion that such a test would mean the destruction of many beasts for which no provision had been made for compensation to the owners. Engineer’s Report Roy Patterson, county engineer, an­ nounced that lack of ftjnds' had per­ mitted very little work on county roads of a permanent nature in 1936 and had also caused restriction in maintenaco. One crusher had been in Operation and five of the plants were idle. Eleven bridges had been painted and many ate in need of painting Ten miles of roads were stabilized this year, and treated with common salt which appears, to have a chemical effect on the clay which restricts vol­ ume change »A salt treated road dries very quickly after rain, About 20/000 of the trees planted in a nursery are growing. “Poles arc a hazard and a contin­ ued nuisance on the road allowance^. and .the only fatal accident on our roads this year resulted from a col­ lision with a pole. The Public Serv­ ice Works, on Highways Act, sets forth that road authorities shall pay at least one half the cost of moving Hydro and Telephone. poles when such is required by reason of work on the road. These corporations were allowed to use the highways for their pole lines without charge, as a con­ venience to them. “The County of Huron has expend­ ed less per mile upon its roads than any other County in the Province, and while the condition of our roads has been equal to that of any other Coun­ ty, we are falling behind in the mat­ ter of permanent improvements.
