Set 4 Mill Tax Rate On Friday the council adopted Treasurer ,Erskine's 1943 estimates Calling for a tax rate of four mills, to raise $217,034, the same as last year. Larger items of expenditure call for $27,300 for patriotic grants and $30,- 000 for the purchase of Victory Bonds. The county highway rate is unchanged at 1.55 mills, and this, with constryc- tian work stopped, is expected to set up a nest egg for post-war construc- tion. The county will have $60.000 invest- ed in Victory Bonds and Reeve Turner asked that it be earmarked for the rehabilitation of soldiers on their re- turn, The. suggestion opened a de- bate in which the situation was thor- oughly canvassed but no action was taken. Wingham Appointments W. James Henderson, of Morris Township was appointed trustee on the Wingham Collegiate Board and Fred Davidson was appointed to the Wingham Hospital Board. An extra day's pay and extra mile- age is being paid to members to re- compense them for extra expense caused by the storm. Council, in adopting the report of the warden's committee, authorized -patriotic grants of $2,000 to the Navy League of Canada, $1,000 to . the Chinese Relief Fund, $2,000 to the Aid to, Russia Fund, '.to supplement the $1,950 already donated, and $3,- Army.

May Not Plow Some Roads It has 'not been possible to buy equipment and some important repair parts and it is not expected that many roads can be kept Open during the remainder of the winter. So reads a clause in the report of the county roads committee' adopted by Council at its closing session Saturday, The roads committee recommended that a program of post-war consttuc- don be prepared. County road expend- itures for 1943 of $150,000 were auth- orized. Less than $10,000 of this is for new construction. A clause in. the report fixing the rate for labor on. county roads at 35 tents an hour "if ,help is available at that rate" was challenged by Reeve Turner and Deputy Reeve Baker, both of GOderieh,,, and an amendment to raise the county rate to 40 cents was introduced but was lost by an over- whelming majority. The County Home committee re- ported "no action'" on the request of Scott Memorial Hospital, Seaford], asking that the County Home for the Aged 4se enlarged so as to aceomodate sane types of aged people now con- fined to hospitals.

Warden Leisemer Is First Represent- ative Of Mildmay To Hold This Office Bruce County Council opened its January session at the county build- ings at Walkerton Friday night fol- lowing a three-day postponement due to the ' snowstorm which blocked country roads and lied' the whole dis- trict isolated. All reeves, with ,the exception of Reeve McKellar, of Tiverton, reached Walkerton, Many, of them had to make roundabout trips. Reeve Peter B.

BY ONE-THIRD Two "Spare• C" Ration Coupons Are Eliminated Canada's butter ration has been cut by one-third to maintain the butter supply during the season of low pro- duction and to ensure equitable distri- bution, the Prices Beard announced last week. Instead of three pounds of butter, each Canadian up to the end of Feb: ruary will be entitled to buy only two pounds. The Prices Board indicated the cut fill be restored, if possible, in March. It was estimated unofficially that the saving in butter accomplished during the next six weeks will be about 8,- 000,000 pounds. The reduction is accomplished by elimination of two of the six "spare C" ration coupons which were to be used up to the end of February. Board Statement, "By extending the expiry dates of the other coupons, and 'by giving notice at this time, the board said it hoped consumers would ration them- selves to the extent of stretching the two-pound butter allowance over the six weeks period, "The net result of such an arrange- ment would be to reduce each individ- ual's consumption by 2% ounces per week for the temporary period." The normal butter ration is eight ounces a week of each person. A re- duction of 224 ounces means that this figure is cut temporarily to 5% ounces. "Stocks of butter on. January 1 of this year," the board said, "were about equal to one month's consumption. "With production at its lowest level of the year during January and Feb- ruary, it 'has been decided, after con- sultation with the distributive trades, that the necessary conservation should be effected immediately and if possible by reduction only during the month of February. The brown "Spare C" coupons 5 and 6, which became valid January 18, will not expire until February 28; coupons 7 and 8 becoming valid Feb- ruary 1 will not expire until Febreary 28; and coupon 9. valid March 1, will expire March 14. "Spare C" coupons 10 and 11 from the present books will not be used."

Lion Harley Crawford an- nounced that for the meeting on Feb- ruary 12th, Capt. Patterson, of the Aeronautical Institute of Canada would would be the guest speaker. Capt.

The meeting closed with the singing of "The Maple Leaf Forever" and the Lions Roan INTEREST GROWING IN TOWN LEAGUE. Canadians Still To Loose A Game Canadians remain at the head of the- Town League.
