Tuckey, chairman of the warden's committee, explained that the Huron County Flying Club have had five buildings set apart for them, He suggested that the only way to get anything done would•be to buy it out- right and then lease it to a commercial concern, The county has the first claim on the field. Failure to pur- chase it will mean it will be taken over by the War Assets Corporation. It was suggested that the adminis- tration building at the airport could house the county offices during the construction of the new court house. Clerk N. W. Miller said that the coun- ty judge and magistrate had looked over the building and 'considered it would afford sufficient accommodation, No Recreation Grants After considerable discussion on a request from Turnberry Township, for assistance in the construction of a re- creational centre, the council voted that no . action be taken on giving grants to such projects in Huron. A grant of $3,000 was voted to the Cancer Research Foundation and one of $3,000 to the Salvation Army, The council agreed to lease Port Albert airport for the International Plowing Match, the association to re- imburse the county for any expense in- curred. .. Plowing Match Prospects Bright The prospects for the success of the plowing match. were 'never better than at present, Hugh Hill, told the council. More concessions have been sold than ever before, and there are likely, to be more. There had been wonderful co- operation from every organization in the' county. The council, on a division of 6-21, voted against the establishment of a general public health nursing plan in Huron County. The opinion expressed by the major- ity of the members was that the pros- sent school nursing plan is satisfact- ory. Miss M. Haberer and Miss Falconer, county school nurses, gave excellent reports on their work, which they have carried on alone this year. The war- den and members of the council highly praised them, and an increase in their salaries of $100 a year each was auth- orized. • A motion by Reeves N. R. Dorrance and Cecil Wheeler was endorsed, that a resolution be sent to the provincial government protesting the change in legislation whereby a municipality can- not impose a penalty for non-payment of taxes on the due dates. Another by Reeves Dorratme and Hugh Berry, asking amendment of the Livestock Protection Act to allow the destruction of dogs or wild animals de- stroying poultry, was carried. Another resolution, moved by Ree- ves S. Machan and J. D. Beecroft was carried, asking the government to de- dare the Province of Ontario on Stan- dard time in 1947. One of the busiest sessions in the history of Huron County Council was concluded on Saturday afternoon. It required the extra day to 'complete all the business, anti the dying hours saw much important legislation completed.

The branch which has a membership of 200 expects to sponsor a drive for $5,000, for which they are awaiting ap- proval under the War Charities Act. Fifty per cent will be devoted to structural changes in the hall: $1,000 to refurnishing; and between $800 and $900 for cerceational equipment, with a small reserve for contingencies, - The request was referred to the warden's committee. The revised estimates as presented by treasurer A. H. Erskine, were ac- cepted by 'Huron County Council on Thursday and the rate was set at five mills as recommended by the finance committee. The recommlendation of the commit- tee, that the management of the Bank of Commerce be consulted regarding a lowering of the interest rate from four to three per cent., was endorsed. In answer to a question, county en- gineer R. Patterson stated there are 380 miles in the country road system; that the rate of wages for laborers is 50 cents an, hour; other employees are paid according to the jobs they have. The .county road commission report- ed that construction of bridges was re- stricted to the building of reinforced concrete culverts in Hullett and Gode- rich townships, on the Par line, Hay and Stanley, and on the townline of Hay and Stanley. Inability to secure small sizes of reinforcing steel makes it probable that only a few of these culverts can be built. Proposed Construction Construction proposed includes bit- uminious surfaces from Crediton west, eight and one-half miles,$38,200; Cen- tralia airport road two and one-half miles, $10,000; Dashwood south, one- half mile, $2,2000; Brussels north, five miles, $18,000; culverts, $5,000; grad- ing, $10,000; Cutline, Goderich town-' ship, miscellaneous, $10,000; total $99,400.

Concurrence was given to a resolution from Northumberland and Durhamcounties that urban muni- cipalities be given 50 per cent subsidy by the province on road expenditures, On a divison vote of 16-9, the coun- cil did not concur in a Perth county resolution requesting 75 per cent,-sub- sidy from the Department of High- ways from construction for five years, Assume Howick-Wallace Boundary The council carried a Motion intro- duced by Reeves John Winter of How- ick and A. Alexander of Grey, that the county of Huron Road Commission take over the road known as the boun- dary between the townships of How- ick and Wallace. The council endorsed the recommen- dation Of the warden's committee that the Huron County Flying Club be asked to relinquish all claims to certain 'buildings at Sky Harbor airport, 'as the committee has been unable to neg- otiate with the department for the pur- chase of extra land and buildings, W. H. Golding, M.P., had been requested! . University of Western Ontario was de; ferred to the November session for consideration. a A grant V.l.),000 was made to the Alexandra Hospital, Goderich, as re- commended by the health and hospital committee. This amount it is to be understood, will be taken into consid- eration in any further request, the total amount not to exceed $25,900, which corresponds to amounts given to other hospitals, The council unanimously endorsed a resolution drawing the attention of Hon. Russell T. Kelly, minister of, health, to the serious shortage of nur- ses, and recommended that the train- ing of nurses be resumed by smaller hospitals in order to meet this short- age. Copies of this re iolution will be sent to all other counties in Ontario and to J. 'W. Hanna, M,L,A,, Huron- Bruce, In answer to an inquiry by Reeve R. E, Turner of Goderich;. County Treasurer A. H. Erskine suggested that the financing of the new court house, could be covered by bonds now in the general fund totalling $100,000 and by the sale of a debenture issue of $250,000 for a five-year term, with annual instalment of $50,000 at two per cent. One mill for five years on the tax rate would pay for the building furnishings complete. The estimate cost of the 'building on the approved plan is $325,000. Endorsation was given to a motion by Reeve E. J, Farrisli and J. D, Bee- croft, that the county clerk communi- cate with the clerks of each municip- ality a request that they forward a complete list of those enlisted, in the armed forces and of those who made the supreme sacrifice in the two world wars, so that their names may be ready to insert on the script to be placed in the memorial in the proposed new court house. No action was taken on the brief from the Hotel Association regarding the Canada Temperance Act. ' The reforestation and conservation committee reported that 73,000 trees were planted on the Faegan property at a total cost of $505, In addition to this, the County Road Commission planted 10,000 trees on property it had purchased. The committee had enter- ed into an agreement with Reg Mc- Gee to purchase 100 of land at $15 per acre. The offer of R. C. Hays, K. C., of Goderich, of 10 acres of land in Goderich township, provided it be re- forested, was accepted. Leroy Brown, agricultural representative was added to the committee replacing H. 13. Stew- art, during his absence through illness. Drop Inspector A recommendation of the county home committee was endorsed abolish- ing the position of county home is- spector effective December 6, also that the county home committee meet every tw o months. The committee reported that no elevator will be installed in the home, floor covering costing $328 laid, and wiring installed at $1,400. A barn on the property of Sid Lansing will be purchased for $200. A grant of $25 was given to the Federation of Agriculture Picnic. The council concurred on the recom- mendation of the legislative committee in the resolution restricting the sale of toy guns, from the County of Dufferin. Many reeves expressed the opinion that the sale of air rifles should be stopped to minors, there would be less carrying of them if sale was discour- aged.

HURON OLD BOYS — HOLD ANNUAL PICNIC On Friday, June 14th,, the Huron Old Boys Association of Toronto re- sumed its pre-war practice of holding an Annual Picnic complete with base- ball, races and lucky draw, The Huronittes gathered in High Park about 5' o'clock and Civil War soon broke out as a baseball game' got under way between North and South Huron. Fred Elliott's South Huron "Wildcats" trounced Wes McCutch- eon's North Huron "Invincibles" to the tune of 8.8 and if it hadn't been for the interrupting call to the picnic tables it's hard to say what that score might have been. After supper the races got under way. Two little ladies Lucille White and Sandra McKellar fought it out for top honours in the race for all under five years old, Lucille won, The boys eight and under, ran a hard race, Paul McCutcheon winning but with Leland White and Phillip Jackson right on his heels, Valerie Carter won the race for girls twelve anti under by Gay Lawn- des and Joanne Hottsway were close behind. Boys twelve"years and under, were nobly represented by Bernard O'Keefe who won the race, and Ernest Carter who gave Bernard a run for his money, Robert McKenzie was the first across the tape among the boys sixteen and under, Ronald McCutch- eon came in second and Don, McVay third, Time big Open Race for girls was a star attraction and Mrs. McKellar clip. pod off the distance in nothing fiat to take the honours that Betty O'Keefe just missed by running second. The • 411 • Business and Professional Directory Open Race for boys was a feature as Wes McCutcheon had vowed he'd re- deem the honours of North Huron af- ter that baseball game. But alas and alack Fred Elliott came steaming in ahead of him. The novelty contests were more fun than the proverbial picnic. Mrs. Mc- Creath won the Time and Distance Race; Mrs, McKellar won the Peanut and Spoon Race with Mrs. Wickens taking second place; Mrs. Gould show- ed that it takes a woman to hit the nail on the head when she won the Nail and Hammer Contest and Mrs. Mc- Kellar won the respect of all by get- ting first place in the Needle and Thread contest as did Mrs. Wickens by winning the Kicking Shoe Contest. The Draw for Prizes was naturally an exciting event as everyone knew the prizes were to be two, pairs of nylons and two hams. Mrs, Roy Lonsway and Mrs. H, C. S]oan won the nylons and Miss Hills and Mrs. Wickens were able to bring home the bacon - or rath- er the ham. The picnic is over for another year but the Huron Old Boys Ass'ociation of Toronto will meet regularly until another picnic time rolls around. Hur- onites love picnics and it is significant that it took something as catastrophic as the War to bring a temporary lull in their picnicking activities, BELMORE 1•••••44......61.4 The Pres. congregation Sabbath School will hold their picnic at the Palace Gardens, Formosa, July 1st, the United being invited, also Bluevale. The marriage of Miss Edith Ballagh, of Peterboro, second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fleming Ballagh, (deceased), of Culross, will take place in the Chapel, Toronto, this month. Now for something funny, an old land mark in the village, which is li- able to fall was advertised for sale, the owner had no less than 14 buyers. M.- ter they all had satisfied their curio'sitss, by peeping in, the lady had the pleas- ure of nailing on the 'boards. Now as. $200 was realized from the big fish at Walkerton, just for a peep, the owner sees her mistake. Mr. James McNeil having purchas- ed a garage in Brussels, is doing some repairing, prior to moving.
