STRONG REPLIES TO
COUNTY ENGINEER
R. R. No. 2, Gorrie,
February 17th, 1942
To the Editor of the
Advance-Times.
After careful perusal of the Road
Engineer's report to the County
Council as , reported in the weekly
press, I ant of the opinion that the
powers that be do not take very kind-
ly to criticism, constructive though it
may be.
When the delegation from Howick
and Grey Township waited upon the
County Council at its recent session
with the simple request that road con.'
struction be suspended for the duration
of the war, the following question was
asked: Of what use will these roads
be if we should lose the war."
So far as I know this question has
not been answered, We are told that
it will be the last titan, plane, tank,
gun and dollar that will win the war,
.would it not just be too bad if it
•shoUld happen that the last few thous-
ands of dollars needed had gone into
non-essential road construction in
Huron. County.
I note with interest that the road
program will probably be pared as
far as possible this year, if this is the
intention, why are the estimates the
sante aS List year? Why the big road
construction job which the County is
doing this winter at the Auburn bill
which I recently had the opportunity
of viewing and while owing to my
obscured vision, as alleged in said re-
port, I am still unable to see this pro-
ject as being 100% war effort and I
would therefore ask for a clear, con-
cise explanation as to how this work
is helping Churchill in his famous re-
quest, "Give Its the tools and we will
finish the job." I might add the old,
axiom, 'Actions speak louder than
words", and as the Provincial Govern-
ment has withdrawn subsidy on all
bridge and road construction during
1942 the taxpayers of Huron will have
to pay the entire cost of this monu-
mental folly in war time. At this point
I would like to congratulate the wo-
men of Huron County who are work-
ing so nobly and in ever increasing
numbers in backing tip a real war ef-
fort, but how must they feel whet
making supplies and comforts for our
armed forces and those civilians who
have lost all, been blinded or crippled
on our behalf and the officials of their
various organizations often at their
wits end for funds to carry on, while
thousands of dollars are being poured
into the Auburn
In the same report the Engineer
claims to have seen considerable toad
grading being done in Howick, but
I can .assure the citizens of Huron
that he must of been suffering from
hallucinations as according to Road
Superintendent'St report filed with the
Dept. of Highways for the years 1940
and 1941 out of a total of $16i822.55
spent, $341.25 was classed as road con-
struction mainly repairs on hills and
soft spots in road, arid I would sug-
gest careful driving on our township
roads as they are not streamlined.
Again appealing to out County
authorities to divert the 'money from
road construction into the war effort.
Again thanking you for your valu-
able space I am, •
That Howick Councillor,

PLOW MATCH HAS
CARNIVAL SPIRIT
Red Cross Will Benefit and Prize Will
Be Paid in War Savings Certificates
national Plowing Matth that a person
There is something about an Inter-
never forgets: Staged in the crisp, Pall
air with the 00;7 of auttnitt at its
full peak, the International is studded
with highlights for ,the visitor . . .
highlights that remain for many years
clear and fresh in the memory,
Thousands of cars and trucks pour
along the highways in the early morn-
ing to converge on the site of the
match. What was a peaceful, quiet
place just /before dawn soon becomes
a scene of hustling activity. The "Big
Match" is on for• another day . . . .
The staccato bark of tractor motors
warming up, the shuffling noise of
many thousands of feet, the cheerful
clanging of pans as the lunch booth
operators prepare for another rushing
day of business . . . all seem to
merge in a salute to the new day.
The day is launched. All ;nothing
and up until midafternoon the cars
and buses keep streaming in to the
parking lots. There is a never-ending
flow of humanity tip and down the
well-trodden streets of the Tented
City where the machinery displays are
congregated. Farm motors of all kinds
roar, planes zoom overhead, people
talk and laugh and move On out to
the headlands to watch the plowing.
There 'is a carnival spirit about the
International and yet it is not
a carnival! The directors of the Inter-
national Plowing Match have demon-
strafed that serious displays of farm
machinery and edueational exhibits
designed to help the farmer improve
his methods of farming can be enjoy-
ed by all classes of people. It is not a
three-ring circus and yet you will find
that the people who attend the match
are just as happy and gay-hearted as
any watching the antics of a circus,
Why? Because there are no "gyp"
games in the Tented City . . . . there
are no "get-rich-quick" schemes to lure
hard-earned dollars. There is instead
information presented in an entertain-
ing way . . . information that the
man. of the farm cah convert easily to
his own purpose. 4
This year the International Plowing
:Match in Huron county Will do its
share in supporting the cause of the
Empire, Red Cross booths manned by
volunteer workers from the district
will Cater to the requirements of the
people in the way of food. All prizes
will be paid hi War Savings Certifi-
cates. Farmers will be instructed in
how to farm in a more efficient way. These are but a few of the things
which conid be mentioned. One thing
however. The International Plowing
Match is being geared in this year of
war to do the very utmost for the war
effort,
