D. Beecorft. Reeve Scott The first speaker was Reeve Peter W. Scott, ivho is seeking his eighth term in the Reeveship. He confined himself mostly to county matters. During his term at county council he said he had taken bis part in county matters. He said he was one of el even who had voted against the en gaging of Mogg and Quillan to equalize the assessment throughout the county as he considered the cost $7,000, too much.

For the Official Weather Forecast Tune in CKNX every day at 12.35 Sponsored by the makers of Feeds TORONTO Minister Minister speeches he said, pointing of fewer in number than at present. He said that Reeves McNall of Blyth and Scott of Seaforth and the Warden, are a committee to in terview the attorney-general regard ing this matter. As chairman of the .Agricultural Committee he had attended a con vention in February at which the Premier, Attorney-General, of Agriculture and Deputy of Agriculture, spoke. All were good and businesslike, with no suspicion of partisanship. Mr. Scott said this committee were looking after the arrangements of making Huron County a T.B. re stricted area of which he was heart ily in favor and he stated that is one of the main reasons he would like to again be in the county council so that he could finish this work. Forty-four meetings were planned, 22 have been already held m the North and the ones in the South of the county are now being held. In S.S. reporting on the vote so far a great majority are in favor of the plan. A surplus of $7263 is expected this year by the County. Mr. Scott said the recepits are expected to be $123,- 963.50 and the expenditures $116,- 650,00. He said that a new system of book keeping will be installed at the Coun ty Home. It was the belief that it was self-sustaining but it is as certain gifts were used while only interest should have been used. There are 91 inmates. He said the audit cost $175, this is more than two local auditors would charge but he felt it was well worth while. The Children’s Shelter could be raised from class D to class A by the expenditure of 7 or 8 thousand dollars but he did not consider this worthwhile, The debenture debt will be reduc ed to $24080 this year which leaves but two payments to make to wipe out all debenture debt. Mr. Scott reported that Ex-Ward- en Bowman, of Brussels, had resign ed from the Old Age Pension Board as he was. of the opinion that Toron to paid no attention to the Board’s recommendations. He will remain on the board at the Council’s request until January, however. Asked re Sky Harbour at Goder ich, Mr. Scott said those behind this project rented 125 acres and may need more. They themselves could not expropriate land but with the use of the county name they could. The motion read, that the county assumes no financial liability in the matter. He said it was the best site in West ern Ontario for an air port. It may >e used' he said as a training school or pilots. He voted for the motion. In reply to a question regarding re forestation he said it was felt the county was unable to get 1000 acres in one block. The department of For ests is being approached to see if the government grant could be procured for 100 acres in each township, advised, all to take advantage government off of free trees. Ra/mond Redmond Mr. Redmond expressed his lire at being present. He had ed the Council work and had pleasant times at the meetings although they did not always agree. Road No. 4 he said has been re-surfaced from end to end. Gravel was criticized as too coarse but it was as good as the crusher would do. Road had been dragged in the last ten days and is now in good shape. Will be a good road next year, he said. Regarding weeds, he said the coun ty used the spray method which cost $24 a mile. This is too expensive but something will have to be done to appease the department. Cost of material will be less next year, may be one-half, he Said. Grants of $10 to Belgrave School Fair and $15 to Wingham Fair have been given. Fairs are now a rich man’s hobby, he declared. Unless the local man has something of very fine quality he is out of luck. He sug- Improved Greatly When He Kruschen There has just come to our a case of grand relief from rheumatic pains. The seriousness of the man’s condition and the step that led to his ultimate recovery, are des cribed in the following letter.;— “For several years I suffered from rheumatism. I had all my teeth out, and still suffered. A year ago I lay in hospital for fourteen weeks, almost crippled,. When I .got home I con tinued to take medicine, but began to go down again. A friend of mine asked me to try Kruschen Salts, and I am, very pleased to be able to say I have been on the mend ever since.” —H.P. Two of the salts in Kruschen are the most effectual solvents of uric acid known to medical science. They swiftly dull the sharp edges of the crystals—the cause of pain and stiff ness—and often convert them into a harmless solution, which is then ex pelled through the natural channels.

Have served 5 years in all, he said, 7 since he went into the Council and had al ways, done his best. I have learned considerable, he said, and it is an ex perience worthwhile for anyone. Mr. Scott is a good teacher, he said, but young men of the township should have a chance and should not be held back until they are 50 or 60. Mr. Scott has won three elections and had several acclamations and he should be satisfied. Five years ago I got what was coming to me he said, but this time it is Mr. Scott’s respon sibility. Mr. Scott was on the Crim inal Audit Board several years ago and had a chance to do something and was the man who looked after T.B. meetings, etc. He said he would like Mr. Scott to tell how much had been spent on Road 20 and 22. He said he was qualifying and asked support. I will give as much time as necessary to my duties as Reeve if elected, he said. was done this year. The Council de sided more need for gravel. Some lines have not. been touched due to dry weather. The township equip ment was too’light to use-in dry wea ther. The expenditure on the vari ous roads was: Road 2, $311.19, Road 4, $1384.21; Road 6 $110,06 $499.63; Road 12 $941.50. of delivering gravel onto was 42,3 cents. 6281 yards had been used, In reply to a question Mr. McBgr- ney said a power grader would make a better job of the roads. Had used West Wawanosh power grader but could not keep it. It cost $1.85 an hour and would dp about 20 miles a day. Reeve Scott said in his reply that accounts for criminal justice were gradually getting worse, When on the board they disallowed some ac counts but when the law was on their side what could one do. One county constable had an account of $300 for one quarter, he said. He said Mr. Fellows, District Engineer, Road Superintendent and self had been ov er the roads and found them satis factory. Some culvert need repairs. The township will some day have a power grader, he said. No town ship with one is dissatisfied with it, he said. Do not need a crusher he said when they can use one like Mr. Sandy’s. The horse graders are grad ually wearing out, will have power grader soon, he said. did not. Mr. Shearer, he said, Lewis Ruddy who was nominated Councillor, said the got much this year, south last year and Thursday. December 1, 1938 to town PRE-WINTER SUBJECTS When the editor of the paper calls you up and says: “Have you got this week’s column done?", and you stare blankly (nto the telephone from which the noise came and you real ize that you haven’t stopped to think about it, there’s kind o fa dead empty feeling comes inside you. What will I write about? It was snowing last yveek! There was snow drifting down all day and covering up Lazy Meadows, and the cattle were steaming when we brought them into the stable. There’s a cozy and comfortable feeling when cattle are in the stable, and you can hear them chewing on their cuds quite contentedly. Upstairs in the barn, the hens are busy scratching for grain among the chaff on the barn flodr, and little cascades of chaff come rippling down where the warp ing planks have left gaping holes in the floor. Over in the corner stall a bunch of chunks are snouting loudly in the trough, waiting for more feed. I con fess that if you fed them twenty tim es a day those pigs would still be looking for more. And Buttinsky, the be-whiskered goat, is chafing at .having to be inside the stable these days. He’s getting a little mad and trying out his butting ability on end of .the passage-way. Of all the ones in the stable, I lieve that our old grey mare is most contented. Age has taught that while there may be more fun in foraging in a pastrue, therels going to be more attention lavished on her all winter. We’re having quite a task to keep the turkeys from roosting on top of the driving shed. Every night, no matter what the weather may be like they manage to find a roosting spot on top of the shed, and believe you me, it’s no fun to get them dovyn. But all in all, and even considering the work, that will have to be done, I like to see winter come. It makes me feel healthy and no matter how much you complain, you- secretly be lieve that winter is the best season of all. The telephone starts to be of more use now. When the women folks don't get out to town any more, they have to keep up on the news by means of the telephone. It is mad dening when you call up someone on the telephone and (here are about twenty listening in on the wire. on STUDDED TIRES • In road conditions that would bog down ordinary tires Goodyear Studded Tires bite in and keep you going «, . • under control every second.

Wright was appointed as chairman and called on the treasur er, B. Cruikshank, who gave a sum mary of the financial condition of the Township. He stated that the deben ture debt is being reduced at . about $2,009 per year. Roland Grain, in his opening re marks, paid tribute to two former Councillors, who had passed on since last annual meeting, Jas. Ed. Baird and Joseph ’Breckenridge. Mr. Grain gave a comprehensive report of county matters. He stated that the county expected a surplus of $7000 this year. The debenture debt of the county is only $35,000 and by 1940 this will be paid off. The Children’s Shelter has been raised to class E with a grant of $500. Snow and sanding cost the dounty last year about $6000, and 10,000 feet of snow fence lias been ordered to be delivered soon. The equalization of the county was Started in March and will be finished, next May at a cost of $7000. The airport at Goderich which was started and developed, as a private enterprise, had been taken, over by the County as no* financial assistance from, the Government could be given to a private concern; The’ cdunty is to be under no financial obligations. Mr. Grain stated, that when any member of the Council expressed, a desire to step- up he- was willing to step aside.. Mr. Wright was of the opinion that Warble Fly powder should be sup plied free as is done in Bruce, and if this were done this, pest would be soon exterminated. Robert Powell congratulated Mr. Grain on receiving an. acclamation as he did not intend to oppose him. Roy Porter said that while the gen eral township rate remained! the same this year relief was up l[10. of. a mill and the school rate a half a mill. The Township had purchased, a Gestel- ner this year at a cost of $135 and felt that in their printing they would save about 50% as the Clerk and his staff did the work at no. additional cost. He would seek re-election. Harold Moffatt discussed the road expenditures. The council had dis cussed the advisability of purchasing a power grader. They were of the j opinion that renting the Howick grader at $1.75 per hour was cheaper. Three galvanized steel culverts had. been purchased and Hogg’s bridge ♦painted. He also was seeking ie-e.lt- ection.James Breckenridge stated that while relief was ft little higher this year, it was very high yet and that they can not control hospital expens es for indigent patients. The dogs this year have been very quiet, there being no sheep claims this year. He would again be in the field for coun cil' ' . • Richard Wilton said that relief can not be reduced unless you cut it out altogether like our neighboring town ship. of East Wawanosh and this he was opposed to. He would be m the field for er-election as he Mono re presented. his section of the town ship. Wm, Austin said he would not : cause an election. i James Wylie, Road Sitpt.,* gave a: • report on road work, showing how the money had been spent. W. J.' Henderson, a former reeve , of Morris, was called and gave an in- t teresting talk. Coun. Ruddy for Reeve and south had not Started in the went north. This year started in the north and worked, south but ran out oftmoney. The Township he said col lected $2084 that council is respons ible for. All the council had tried to do their best. Will likely run for the Council. Asked for support. . J. D. Beecroft Mr. Beecroft stated he had no in tention of contesting the reeveship. He was glad to report that there were less arrears of taxes this year. This year more had been spent on tile drains and more wifi have to be spent to do away with bad spots in the spring. He was of the opinion that the T.B. plan would carry in the county. On list returned to him was 90% for and it was the same through out the township. He said he would seek re-election to the Council. Harvey Black I have been three years in coun cil, said Mr. Black, and I feel that I am much more familiar with town ship matters. Regarding the destroy ing of weeds on the road sid.es, he said he felt that in many places the ground, should be worked -so that the weeds can be cut to the fence with a mower. This would, be cheaper than spraying, he said, and look bet ter. He is seeking re-election. Norman McDowell Mr, McDowell said, that he has had no municipal experience was not too old to learn, tion is not satisfactory the roads. The roads townships were much better. Rbads in East Wawanosh should be im proved. If his name appeared on the ballot he asked support. Mr. J. G. Gillespie spoke on behalf of Mr. Lancelot Grain, who was not present. Mr. Gillespie said he did not know if Mr. Grain \yould accept. I have known him since he was a boy, he said, and you will make not mis take in supporting him. George Kerr Mr. Kerr did not say if he would stand or nod There is no represen tation in No, 3 Division. Will do the best he can if he lets his name go and is elected. He said the south not vote for men in the north that the north voted for them in south. Adam Robertson if you think it in next year's part. He wish- Year.

Another interesting subject at this time of year is “kindling wood.” I brought up a cord of cedar and piled it neatly inside the garden fence. It’s been there for a month and I've been intending .to bring it into the wood shed for some time now. However, as things of such a nature go I never did. The snow came and the kindling was completely covered! by the wet stuff, and . . now it’s; an ordeal to start the fire in the morning. Take some paper, place over the top of that some wet cedar ... at least damp cedar . .. tight a match and trust to Providence. The result is that Fate generally lets you down, and the fire simmers and! sputters and goes out. But I’m like- so many oth- ed parents and am now passing the “buck" with an order decreeing that the young gentry at Lazy Meadows are responsible for seeing that the cedar is properly roasted in the oven the night before.
