RUSSELL T. BOLTON, Returning Officer Page, 12 rime$-40Pc41.0, -009.4or 12, 1947 County council okay bid for deer season Farm year not bad but very difficult was borne out by the high percent- age of road kills at night. He added that the officials liked an open season to reduce illegal hunting of deer. The licence fee goes to the Provincial Treasurer. The farmer's $2 fee is valid in the county in which the licencee resides. Council concurred in recom- mendations of the Committee on licence fees: for non-residents of Ontario (a) hunter's licence fee set at $100; (b) hunters re- stricted from running dogs; (c) hunter's bag limit reduced: (d) hunters restricted to a shorter season. Sadly we must admit that the various names of perfumes sug- gest that virtue doesn't make scents. * To be the picture of good health, one needs a good frame of mind. Their unhappiness is due to ill- ness they're sick of each other. Most Huron County farmers have had a relatively good year but with a great deal of difficulty Douglas H. Miles, agricultural representative, told members of Huron County Council at their session In Goderich last week. Those in Osborne and Stephen Townships were hit heavily with too much rain, Mr, Miles estimated the white bean crop as only 60 per cent of normal which compares with the yield in Michigan, Average crop is usually about 1,400 pounds to the acre, but this has shrunk to about 1,000 pound this year. How- ever, selling price is away above last year's, Corn is a bright spot. "I don't think Huron County has enjoyed such a good corn crop since I came here ten years ago," Mr. Miles declared. "Grain corn is above average," He observed that hay has been about average, and oats, barley and wheat about 15 per cent off. "Huron County has not been hurt in the overall average of crops, but the farmers have had a tremendous amount of diffi- culty," he said. Mr. Miles reported on his three months' trip to the British Isles with the international ex- change of Junior Farmers when the members of the Canadian party lived in farm homes and met farm people, "We learned things that money could not buy," he stated. "Peo- ple are the same the world over; they are concerned about farm prices just as you are." England spends 50 per cent of its dollar on food; Canada, 29 per cent. "We in Huron County, Ontario and Canada, have much to be proud of," he declared. Farm immigrants to whom he had talked were coming to C anada because there were not so many regulations here, and he felt that if Canada can keep away from rules and regulations, it would be better for us.

County Council decided at last week's Session in Goderich. Action was taken following a request from Ontario Department of Lands and Forests, backed up by arguments as to its necessity, and recommendation by the Ag- riculture and Reforestation Com- mittee, John H. Corbett, Hay Township, chairman, Donald Johnston, Ilespeler, Fish and Wildlife Supervisor, Lake Huron District, Ontario De- pertinent of Lands and Forests, argued strongly before Council for an open season for three days in the ten counties of Lake Huron District. A brief submitted to Council indicated that for the past two years, the majority of the Dis- trict's population had been ex- posed to harvest which had been beneficial not only to the hunters but also to the local economy. Density of deer is over one deer per square mile with some local areas up to 15 deer. Nat- ural increase is a big factor. Information collected on deer killed by means other than legal hunting indicates that the ma- jority of such deer were in- volved in mishaps, such as automobile collisions, during late fall, winter and early spring, Therefore, a November hunt not only provides recreation,but sub- stantially reduces the chances of vehicle collisions. It was pointed out that a nat- ural renewable resource such as a deer herd, cannot be stock-piled any more than an agricultural product of the land which must be harvested. He pointed out that 75 per cent of the animals har- vested in the fall of 1966, were present in the herd during the 1965 hunt, indicating that these animals are quite capable of withstanding annual harvest. He said that an annual deer hunt assists in keeping the deer herd within the carrying capaci- ty of the range. Mr. Johnston pointed out that in the 1966 three-day open sea- son, Huron County had 1,585 hunt- ers, who harvested 458 deer,with 28,9per cent success. In Huron County, 92 per cent of the hunters were local residents or resided within ten miles of the boundar- ies, while 36 per cent were rural people. Grant Stirling, Goderich Town- ship, asked Mr. Johnston what made him think there were suf- ficient deer in the area to warrant an open season. As far as he was concerned he couldn't see "any deer and antelope play". Mr. Johnston replied that deer are nocturnal animals, not seen very much in the daytime.

SEE YOUR NEAREST PIONEER DEALER Clarence E. Boyle, reeve of Exeter, made a determined effort at last week's Huron C oun ty Council meeting in Goderich, to have $340 remaining in the 1967 bus tour budget turned back to the County of Huron or used in a charitable way. His proved to be a voice cry- ing in the wilderness as on a re- corded division, his proposal was flatly rejected by a recorded vote of 34-1. Boyle's being the only negative cipher. The section of the Warden's and Personnel Committee re- port involved adopted on this division; was as follows: "During 1967, two short bus trips were taken. However, there are funds still available in the bus tour budget. The C om m it t ee agreed and recommends to County Council that any fund available from this budget al- location be used to offset costs in connection with the trip to Montreal." The "trip to Montreal" prov- ed to be a trip to Expo 67 by most of the members of Huron County Council in the latter part of September. Everett Mcilwain, God e r ic h Township, chairman of the com- mittee, defended the action of the Committee in recommending that the balance left in the bud- get be used to help pay trans- portation costs of the members to Montreal. He said that for years County Council had budget- ed $500 for educational trips for Council members and that the Expo trip came under this head- ing. Other years the budget had been used up in Plowing Match and University bus trips carry- ing members where they had been invited. Boyle started the discussion going after the report had been read. "What is the residue in the bus trip budget that you want to turn over to the Montreal trip?" he asked. Warden McKenzie, Ashfield, replied: "$340 carried over". "I favour turning it over to the County Treasurer for the benefit of the County rather than go to help pay for the bus trip to Montreal," Mr. Boyle declared with some heat. At this juncture, it was de- cided to consider the report in Mrs. T. L. Scott and Mrs. E. Moore, were Mr. & Mrs. Hugh Moore and Elaine of Lindsay, Mrs. M.

PERSONALS Weekend guests with Mr. & Police check huge vehicles OPP Constable John Wright, in charge of the local detachment while Cpl. C. J. Mitchell is on holidays, reported this week the local officers would be cracking down on operators of over-width farm vehicles which are not cov- ered by special permits or lighted properly. He explained that over-width implements require special per- mits on the highway. The only time a permit is not required is if a combination of vehicles is less than 60 feet in length, eight feet in width and 13 feet six inches in height. The only excep- tions are traction engines and threshing machines which maybe nine feet two inches wide. If wider than the aforemention- ed, a permit is required and it may be secured at no charge by writing the Ontario Department of Transport, Parliament Build- ings, Toronto. Constable Wright said it was also very important that the ve- hicles he properly lighted and said "charges will be laid if the Vehicles are not covered by the special permits Or lighted prop- erly.

EYRE— SCOTT Baskets of white and yellow chrysanthemums and ferns form- ed the floral setting in the Pres- byterian Church, Cromarty for the marriage ceremony of Dor- othy Isabel Scott, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Scott, Cromarty and Douglas Barry Eyre, St. Marys, son of Mr. and Mrs. Campbell Eyre, Restoule, Ontario on Saturday, September 30, at 3 pm. Rev. John C. Boyne of Exeter officiated and Miss Carol Ann Dow played the wedding music arid accompanied the solois t, Miss Denise Kerslake, Cromarty, who sang "The Wedding Prayer" and "I'll Walk Beside You". Given in marriage by her , fath- er, the bride wore a gown of silk peau de sole with a bateau neck- line, lace bodice and lace elbow length sleeves. A chapel train fell from the empire waist. A cluster of orange blossoms held her full length veil of silk il- lusion. She carried a cascade bouquet of white and yellow roses and ivy. Mrs. Reg Finlayson, Staffa, sister of the bride, was matron of honor and Misses Anna and Agnes Scott, London and Frances Scott, Cromarty, all sisters of the bride were bridesmaids. They were gowned alike in floor-length dresses of aqua peau de sole, with elbow length sleeves and a floor-length train falling from a bow attached at the empire waist. Aqua wedding bands held the cocktail length veils. -Yellow and bronze chrysanthemums and gold roses completed the cos- committee with Carl Dalton, Sea- forth, in the chair. Leroy Thiel, Zurich, led off the discussion. He said he had been asked by thepresstoclarify a discussion which had taken place in County Council at the June Session when the matter of the trip to Montreal was brought up. He wondered if it was the right thing to do to apply the funds in the bus tour budget to the Montreal trip. "It is not the dollars involved here; it is the principle that is at stake," Thiel declared. Warden McKenzie said that $500 had been set aside for years now. Two trips had been taken to University this year, and that was the money that was left. The Clerk added that other trips had been taken. Boyle thundered: "Do we have the right to spend public money for a trip of our own!" He didn't care whether $20 or $2,000 was involved, or whether the trip was to Toronto, London, Montreal or Expo — it was all the same to him. "I don't think we do (have the right to spend public money)," H. B. Such, Goderich, contri- buted his argument, "If this mon- ey is set aside each year for educational purposes, we can jus- tify that this trip to Montreal was for educational purposes. A trip to Expo may well be determined as an educational trip, whether we went by bus sponsored by the County, or on our own." "Still in all, the funds are set aside for educational purposes of the County Council. They are not taken from the funds of the taxpayers. J. H. Corbett, Hay, said funds were set aside each year for bus trips, and he didn't see why the County Council shouldn't use the money for what it likes. He himself did not go on the bus trip. James Hayter, Stephen, de- clared: "We all do a lot of little things (for the County); we are all expected to do things as coun- cillors. I'm willing to pay my way with anyone." He thought this situation was not i m po r t ant enough to worry about, with so little money involved. Everett McIlwain, G ode r i c h Township, committee chairman, said some councillor suggested one day's pay or two days' pay for the Montreal trip. "That, we couldn't see," he declared. Boyle came back with the sug- gestion that the $340 involved could be used as a grant to some worthwhile charitable project like the crippled children. Boyle stated that the point was that next February when Council starts to think about budgets, it should consider revising items like this $500 for bus trips. The committee also recom- mended that Council not concur in a proposal of the United Coun- ties Council of Prescott and Rus- sell to request permission frorri the Province of Ontario to in- crease allowance of members both on a daily basic and an an- nual basis.
