(Continued from Page One) Isaac J. Wright was appointed as chairman and after a few well chosen remarks on conditions of today, called on the candidates. Roland Grain In speaking of the war and the es tablishing of two flying schools in the county, he gave the credit to the County Clerk, J. ,M. Roberts, a vet eran of the last war, He said that the establishment of Sky Harbor at God erich had been a wonderful investment for the county as through it Port Al bert airport was possible. He thought it probable that two more air fields would be established in the county as four are now surveyed. Sky Harbour is now operated by a company and he explained how rev enue was derived and scale of fees paid by the Govt. All committees had stayed within their estimates with the, exception of the County Home which had exceed ed theirs by over 2 mills in purchasing stock and land. The county will fin ish the year with a'h estimated sur plus Of $4000 and will be out of debt — the first time in 100 years. He said the school rates were up and complimented the township on the number attending schools. In com parison to other townships in the County, Turnberry ranks fifth and ac cording to population, first in the number of pupils attending primary and secondary schools. Richard Wilton He said the war is the first con sideration and we must all do bur best. The gravelling is not up to ex pectations but owing to conditions the work was retarded. A bridge had been painted and a culvert built. Harold Moffatt He said he appreciated being on the council for the past seven years, it had been an education to him. In re gards to the higher taxes he said this was beyond the control of the coun cil as the county rate was up 3[10 mill, the government had reduced their subsidy by 1|2 a mill, direct relief in creased by l|10 mill and the school grants were raised from $540 to $600. Tenders for gravel had been called for in August for 3,000 yards, this had been let at 40%c a yard. The work had never been started fact that truckers were airports. A steel arch culvert in on MacLean’s sideroad and a gal vanized pipe on the 4th concession.’ James Breckenridge During the past seven years as a members of the council he had always tried to do his best and he didn’t be lieve that gravel could be put on as cheap by horses as by truck. A bridge had been painted at a cost of about $160 and the roads were in sured at a premium of $100. He said there had been no free mutton this year as no sheep had been killed by dogs. Improved Vicks Way To Relieve Misery of Colds Mothers everywhere are discov ering how easy it is to relieve misery of colds with a "VapoRub Massage”-relleve coughing, mus cular soreness or tightness. With this more thorough treat ment, the poultice-ana-vapor action of Vicks VapoRub more effectively PENETRATES irritated air passages with soothing medicinal vapors...

BE SURE to use genuine, time-tested ^vicks VAPORUB. owing to needed at had been the the put Roy Porter The gravelling contract is a disap pointment, he said. The road subsidy was curtailed by 7c owing >to the low est tender being 7c below tender ac cepted, however, the contract price Road Supt. J. T. Wylie, Road Supt., gave a de tailed report of the expenditures dur ing the year. He explained that the snow plow had cleared 43 miles of roads in the spring at a cost of $4.50 per mile. The meeting closed with the tonal Anthem. ACCLAMATION IN EAST WAWANOSH had been rearranged and was accept ed by the department. Relief, he said, would be down to a minimum 'this year. He said he had attended a mun icipal school at Seaforth where many things of interest were discussed. The council if given an acclamation will remain in office for’two years. Should there .be an election, he said, they could also vote on wether the council would be elected for one or two years. William Austin A little spice was added at this time when he said the council were only a bunch of play-boys and did nothing but draw their $4.00. Of course, this accusation didn’t go unchallenged. He said the roads were a disgrace to the township and it amused him to hear them say that gravelling couldn’t be done as cheaply by team as by truck. He said he would qualify but by Sat urday night he had failed to do so. Treasurer Reports The Treasurer, Benson Cruik.shank, gave a report of the finances. He said the debentures are being reduced this year, only schools and three other de bentures remain unpaid. Arrears of taxes have increased to about $800. Taxes were up owing to expectation of a large gravelling contract, while this work wasn’t done they have the money and if all 1940 taxes are paid there should be a surplus this year of about $1700. (Contiued from Page One) councillors were unanimous. The air port was turned over to the govern ment for the.duration of the war and a period of three years after, for $1.00 a year. This was instrumental in hav ing the airport at Port Albert estab lished, he explained. It is expected more air fields will be built along Lake Huron, Huron is doing her part with the Empire. One-half a mill was levied for patriotic purposes, about $27,000. There is a balance of $3000 left in this fund. $10,000 was given to Red Cross, Rallies cost $654, $9416’ used to purchase land for airport and $118 for guest children. The Children’s Shelter cost about $4700 a year and it is proposed to do away with it as there is but one child there. The system of boarding the children out until adopted will be us ed and is much cheaper, He spoke highly of the work done by Mrs. Chaffe who is assisting Mr. Edwards. The county home has now a fine selected herd of 11 shorthorns. To better the breeding stock in Huron farmers may option the offspring of these cattle, if they wish, he explain ed. This also applies to sows. An interesting feature of the Nov ember session of the county council was the public speaking contest. Win ners of school fairs took part, five seniors and four juniors. These were splendid addresses as chairman of the Educational committee, he was chair man. As a member of the Agricultural committee, he attended the plowing match at St. Thomas to secure infor mation for the 1942 match which will be held in Huron. This activity will require 220 teams and the same num ber of tractors. Speaking of finances, the reeve ex plained that the government subsidy would be cut off next year and prob ably the 50% for road expenditures. This would be given to the Dominion authorities for war work. Township is in good shape, grader paid for and much gravelling done this- year, at a good price. Spraying cost more than expected, but much was accomplished. A movement is* on foot in the coun ty to link up with the Federated Coun cil of Agriculture. The idea is to work Receives Appointment bALLYiSALLIES Some girls are pretty as a picture, and lifdm as one through the various farmers4 clubs, etc., and Huron will work along this line. He spoke of the Centennial year for the county’ next year and said a com mittee was formed to make recom mendations for a suitable celebration? The county is free of debt, I have had the co-operation of the council and officers and it has been a pleasure to work with them as they did their best and gave freely o'f their time, he said, and I also thank the people for their courtesy. I am open for criticism and advice, he concluded. Harvey Black. We have tried to keep expenses un der control, Councillor Black stated. Bridges were painted and spraying done but bridges will last a long time and may not need to spray bridges next year. Some underbrushing may be necessary next year and may not need to gravel much next year as this was done very thoroughly- this year. 'If taxes are to be kept down, expens es will have to be cut, he said. At pre sent prices, the •cannot afford to declared. Norma After two years in council I find it easier to follow the routine of busi ness but I still have a great deal to learn, said Coup. McDowell. Roads are the great expense. Considerable gravelling was done this year buit it was good business. Price of gravel was good. We are passing^ through trying times, he said, and how long the conflict will last or the outcome no one knows. Strict economy will have to be practiced. There is marked improvement in our roads despite wet weather. To keep them up there must be a reasonable expenditure. There are some bad intersections "d^e to shrubbery, a start to clean them up should be made. Weed spraying had cost a lot but hope it is not necesary next year. He concluded by saying he would do his best in the interest of the Township. J. D. Beecroft Councillor beecroft thanked the peo ple for an acclamation and said that he was sure Council would give the best possible service. We have en deavored to keep the..Tax rate down. This year we received a Road Grant of about $3,000. If this is cut off it will mean a great loss with which to contend. We tried to distribute .gravel about the township and he called at tention to the fact that the gravel tak en out of the Reeve’s pit was donated by the Reeve. He hoped that the spraying would kill some of the young underbrush that was coming up. In regard to township school boards, we should not receive it with open arms or condemn it, until we know more about it. I do not know if it will re-- duce expenditures, he said. Lewis Ruddy I am of the opinion that early nom inations make for small crowds, said Court. Ruddy in the start of his ad dress. I believe, he declared, that at tendance was better when nominations- yvere held in December. Spraying cost. $279 more than last year and I hope; it did a good job, he said. It was ap plied late as county machine had to* be used. The gravel contract was- cheap. If the 1 mill'subsidy is cut off wc will not receive $1358 from the- government and if road grants are* withdrawn it would mean another. $2,- 500 or a total of about $4,000. Only* way this can be made up is by raising? the taxes,, and there is no doubt , but that the township taxes will go up, he; declared. School tax is high, he said.. The taxpayers deserve credit for the- county being out of debt, he said. There is little chance of the county rate being reduced’ or the township* rate, so look out for your next tax bill, he warned. Road Supt. l am of the opinion that the govern ment will not cut road grants as much as thought, as they have put so much into the system, Road Supt. Stuart McBurney said. He gave a detailed? account of the work and'expenditures- The total expenditure was $5599.77- Gravelling cost $3001.08, and the painting of the bridges $1164.29. The: cost of the spraying was $1429.39. He- explained that the subsidy on the maintainer is now on' a rental basis, computed at $1.10 per hour.
