The folldwing are the addresses de-
livered at the Howick Nomination
meeting continued from last week
John Winter
Thanked his nominators, Referred
to changes during the past twelve mon-
ths, also to the fact that we had 'not
yet attained the peace we so earnestly
looked forward to one year ago.
Speaking of the passing of Mr. Isaac
Gamble, former treasurer, he stated it
had 'been a severe blow to the Munic-
ipality, a loss magnified by the fast
that there had been no opportunity for
deceased to pass on to anyone the
wealth of experience attained during
his 14 years' service, Also referred
feeling ly to the retirement and sub-
sequent illness of Mr. J. H. Rogers,
former treasurer, who had over 40
years' service in that municipal office.
Dealing with County affairs, Mr. Win-
ter said there had been many drastic
changes in 'municipal law during the
past year or so, and he anticipated
many more. At a municipal Associa-
tion convention, which he attended in
September, there were fifty resolutions
from various municipalities suggesting
amendments to or changes in existing
laws. Reporting on the Agricultural
committee, he told of the appointment
of a County Weed Inspector; also of
the campaign to eradicate the warble
fly, which the committee and County
Council deemed too costly to under-
undertake as a county measure, decid-
ing on an educational campaign for the
time being. We then sketched some
highway expenditures. Regarding the
County Home, stated barn had been
enlarged due to increased Holstein
herd; also told of a letter to County
Council from manager of County
Home re condition of graves of Home
inmates in Clinton cemetery, asking
that these be cared for in perpetuity.
The County will assume the cost of
such perpetual care. The Reeve also
read a by-law submitted to the Co.
Council by the Conservation and Re-
forestation Committee, restricting and
regulating the cutting of trees in any
part of the County. This. 'by-law has
been adopted and is now effective. Mr.
Winter later explained why the Coun-
ty Council refused to purchase Port.

largest rural assessment in the county.
Referred to the many difficulties met
with due to the regrettable passing of
Mr. Gamble,. Clerk, and the indisposi-
tion of Mr, Rogers, former treasurer,
who had been of great assistance even
after his retirement one year ago, but
felt that their successors would be
equally capable when experience was
gained, His remarks were also princ-
ipally confined to County affairs, As
a member of the Education Committee,
he 'thought this subject was probably'
of particular interest to the ratepayers
because of the High School Area leg-
islation adopted by .the Provincial
Government, Ratepayers will soon
have to decide on this question. How-
ick has investment of possibly $50,000
in -Continuation Schools, Their loss
would be detrimental in many ways,
The teachers are an asset in any com-
munity, He didn't think that efficient
transportation was feasible in winter.
The township must pay costs of pupils
going outside the municipality, Refer-
ring to a health service proposed by
Provincial Dept, of 'Health at an esti-
mated cost for Huron of $51,750, Mr.
Parrish stated he spoke against the
project, -which had. been turned down
by County Council, which preferred to
continue the present plan of four Coun-
ty nurses. Citing reasons for favoring
the erection of a new Court House at
Goderich, it was stated the cost of re-
novation would be $155,000 to $175,000
approximately half- the cost of an en-
tirely new building; the county had
$105,000 in Victory Bonds which were
to be used for this purpose; an assess-
ment of one mill for five years would
take care of the balance. Included in
the plans for the Court House was a
chapel wherein all the names of those
from Huron who served in World
Wars - I and II would be inscribed.
This thoughtful plan was sponsored
by Mr. Parrish, whose inspiration came
from such a memorial at fhe 0.A.C,,
Guelph.' He compared rates of Grey
and Huron Counties also Egremont
and Howick Townships, as obtained
from Egremont financial report; -both
Huron and Howick rater were lower,
and comparison in other ways was
even more favorable in his opinion,
in fact, he had travelled from Vancou-
ver to Ottawa during the past year or
so, and found nothing better from a
farmer's viewpoint than what we have
in Howick . . . . in Huron.
Harold Gowdy
Apologized for not being present
last year when he was first nominated.
Thanked the Reeve and the experienc-
ed members of Council for their help
during his first year in Municipal life.
Believed Howick Roads good, .better
than most neighbouring municipalities..
Uphold purchase of new 12 ton grader
and snow-plow at a cost of $12,400. It
would cost a ratepayer with a $5,000
assessment, $5,00 to pay for plowing
township snow roads, according to the
county estimate of $60 per mile., but
he doubted if it could be done for that
during a severe winter, Road Supt.
has instructions to put at least four
sand piles in strategic places, and
5,500 feet of snowfence has been pur-
chased. He explained that only those
who signed in favor of Federation of
Agriculture were so far assessed the
one-fifth mill rate; a by-law has been
passed authorizing that all ratepayers
be assessed for this purpose, but any-
one objecting may have it deleted from
his tax bill,. Mr. Gowdy also explained
that the Council had agreed to pay
each School Trustee $35.00 forkis ser-
vices; as it was deemed advisable if
good men were to be obtained for the
positions.
Warren Zurbrigg
Said he felt much more at ease than
on his initial nomination last year. The
past year had been quite an experience;
would have appreciated it more had he
not been so busy at home. Regretted
removal of deceased Clerk and illness
of Mr. Rogers, and spoke 'in apprecia-
tion of the extra work imposed on
Reeve Winter. Referred to passing of
ex-Reeve, Reuben Harding:, One fea,
son for snow-ploWing was that prop-
erty on unplowed roads was lessened
in value; it was also an aid to keep-
ing young people on the farms and in
securing hired help in winter. Farm
products must be considered as perish-
able, necessitating speedy transit to
markets, as afforded by plowed roads.
E. H. Strong .
Deplored small attendance at nomi-
nation; prophesied that when economic
conditions declined and people be-
came less satisfied they would again
fill the hall on such an occasion.4With
conditions as they are there was no
reason for existing tax arrears in How-
ick. Some people thought Township
Council was responsible for all local
legislation, whereas many measures
were dictated by the, Provincial Dept.
of Municipal Affairs, Lauded the stand
of County Council in refusing to pur-
chase Port Albert airport, but thought
it short-sighted in not engaging in
warble fly extermination campaign, At
this point the Reeve and Deputy-Reeve
asked permission to intervene and fur-
ther explained why the County Coun-
cil deemed the cost prohibitive. Conn-
eillor Strong still contended such a
campaign would pay the farmer. He
thought Councillor Gowdy had painted
a somewhat rosy picture in regard to
cost of snow-plowing, but the rate-
payers were asking for this service and
they would have to pay for it.

New Year's Day affords everyone
the opportunity to bring himself, good
luck throughout the year. At least
that is supposed to be true according
to several old superstitions concern-
ing the beginning of a new year.
The "First Foot", the first person to
enter the house on New Year's morn-
ing—plays a significant role in . the
family's future fortunes. He must be a
dart: man to bring good luck, but if he
also brings .a gift and."carries
the
more
than he "takes out", then the house
is assured peace and plenty for a whole
year. The most auspicious gifts as
luck bringers are a lump of coal and
