(Continued from page 'one) Harold Moffat He stated that his first year on County Council was a new experience and it was impossible to grasp it all in one year. He gave a summary of the 'receipts and expenditures with estimates. Less corn borer was re- ported by the insbector, he said, where Hybrid corn had been sown, For the planning of post-war work in the 'County $105,000 has already been set aside in Victory Bonds. There are 390 miles of county roads in Huron, but owing to lack of equipment and help they are not up to . the usual high standard,' A new caterpillar' plow had been ordelvd, for the north part of the county, but he doubted if it would be delivered this year. The County Home has at. present 95 inmates, just two short of capacity. In his visirthere this 'ybar everything was in excellent shape: There are three inmates in the county jail and are being fed at a coat of 16.4 cents per day.

If all tax arrears were paid there would be a very substantial cash balance, $2;000 in Victory Bonds have been laid aside for future use and another $1,000 added to this this year. He explained the purchase of S11,000 in the recent campaign and congratulated, the township in passing its Objective. The council had given a grant of of $25 to the Wingliam Horse Show, This ybar there will be no charge when paying taxes at the Bank, the township assuming this cost.

HEALTH NURSE PLAN The Warden's committee of Huron County Council have a real job ahead of them investigating the Health Nurse plan that was proposed at the County Council in November by a large deputation. The plan as sub- mitted roughly is that four travelling nurses be engaged by the county whose duty it would be to make four inspections of each school in the county each year. The cost is esti- mated at about $11,000 a year, of which the province pays one third, In this column we have repeatedly stressed the need for better health plans in this province, especially in the rural areas. In the cities the population is greater and more com- pact and they are big enough to have a self contained unit. Only by coun- ties could we in this area have such benefits. The scheme as laid down at present do not go far enough, it should include a county officer of Health and an assistant if necessary. They could replace the present 'Medi- cal Officers of Health in the various musicipalities and carry on these dut- ies as well as ones which would give a much enlarged service. This would cost much more but we believe it would be worth the price. It has been said'on many occasions that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. If by some such scheme we could improve the general health of our communities it would be a great thing. There is one thing that the Warden's committee should think about when they are considering this scheme. Should it be instituted now or should it be left for the post-war period. We believe that it should be on the post-war list. At the present time the hospitals of this county, and the condition is the same across Can- ada, are short staffed. It is almost impossible to procure nurses to carry os our hospitals, When the war is over the nursing situation will be much improved, doctors will be avail- able. At present most of the small hospitals are giving service at the ex- pense of the health of overworked nurses, These hospitals- are of vital necessity to our communities. If nurses are drafted into new services during this trying time it will only aggrevate the present shortage of nurses, Most of our small hospitals could not now carry on if it was not for the assistance from married nurs- es and the use of ward aids. * 4, a* HYDRO RATES The setting ,up by the Ontario Gov&nment of Uniform hydro . rates for farm communities was a step in the right direction. The saving to these users will be about $500,000 for two years and will increase as the services to farmers also increase. Electricity is of great value on the farm. The lowering of the rates will mean extention of this service. 'Prem- ier Drew lit his election campaign ad- yOeated cheaper hydro and tre equal- lization of rates. His first step in that direction will be of great benefit to rural areas. The average small town or village is now paying a very high rate for hydro aed a proper study of this situation might mean lower rates for these places, This would not only save the power users in these muni- cipalities a lot of money,but would be the means of attracting industry dur- ing the further expansion of ohr country t.o these the towns and lages. * * * * SATURATION BOMBIND During the pa=st week the City of Berlin has lintfergone terrific pound- ing from the air.

Tara Had Wood Trouble When Tara Council launched into the wood business by' buying a wood- lot in Dirstein's bush three months ago, in order to partially relieve the fuel shortage in Tara, little did they dream that owing to trucks being un- available the wood would still be lying in the bush, However that is exactly what has happened. The Council made every effort to procure trucking facilities when the weather was fine and the ground dry, even contacting the Wartime Prices and Trade Board at Owen Sound, which had priority on trucks, but all proved fruitless. — Tara Leader.
