The filial session of County Council
for this Year is ever, many items were under discussion and dealt with.
Some of the subjects- were as, follows:
A request was made to change the
boundary of the Wingham District
High School area, The council thought
it was unsound to start cutting off
and adding on to this area, or it
would soon become a badly confused
situation. Present boundaries appear
to have been well thought out and it
was decided to leave all areas as they
are, Any harasbipa on any particular
students will be adjusted between the
schools affected.
The addition to the Huron Pounty
Home at Clinton is well underway,
with the walls now up, This Home is
partly selfsustaining. They prod:teed
on their farm for, 1953 5000 bales of
mixed hay, 3650 ushel wheat, oats
and barley, 1200 bushels of turnips,
300 bags potatoes, 400 bushel of veg.,
etables, 234,065 lbS. milk and 31,946
dozen eggs.
The reforestetion committee arrang-
,ed for the planting of 139 acres with
168,800 trees, This project is develop-
ing very well. In 1952 they only plant-
ed 82 acres and in 1954 looks like 190
acres and 220,550 trees.
We have been under the impression
there are too, many miles of county
roads (over 400 miles) taken care of
by the county, the cost of which is
carried by all municipalities within
the county, of which Wingliam pay
a portion, It was .arranged and the
road committee put in a recommenda-
tion to reduce this total mileage ap-
proximately 24 miles by the cutting
of several pieces off the county road
system that should not belong. There
were several odds and ends and some
duplication.
This we felt was a plendid idea
and a move in the right direction to
reduce this over head and turn these
back to the rural municipalities
wherein they were located, But, when
it came to a vote, in suite of the fact
the County Council is predominately
rural in numbers, most members real-
ized it was the proper move and sev-
eral of them voted with Joe Kerr and
myself to put the recommendation
into effect. But we were very disap-
pointed to find due to two members,
who evidently misunderstood the
motion and voted, reverse to what
they would, and motion was defeated,
but nothing could be done; they were
very sorry and said so.
However it was finally left to be
bruoght up again at the January ses-
sion and whoever represents Wing-
ham will undoubtedly get behind this
motion and try to get a reduction in
mileage so far as county roads in Hur-
on are concerned, I have had a map of
the county showing all roads and
marked in color those under County
care.
When some of the membera sa'@
and realized the duplication they were
quite in accord with the move in the
direction of cutting costs.
Tho road committee gave a splendid
report on the subject. We also again
brought before the council the fact
we appreciated that during the year
the towns were granted an increase
in our road rebate from 25% to 40%.
We still felt very keenly on the sub-
ject that we were entitled to the full
50% rebate which was allowed by the
Provincial government. I felt that by
continued pressure on this point and
the fact we are absolutely justified
in doing so, that eventually fairness
will prevail.
Another point that came up was a
move to change the dates for open
season for deer hunting, the request
being that we in Huron make our
dates' later than of Northern Ontario.
The council felt that if they did, thee
hunters for miles around, would
converge on Huron because for these
days Huron would be the only place
open for hunting and they . would
swamp us so. Mr. Kerr and myself
had the committee turn down this re-
quest.
respectfully,
R., E. McKinney
RECORDS SHOW YULE
CUSTOMS WERE OLD•
IN FOURTH CENTURY
The exact age of the Christmas fes-
tival is not known, Records show,
however, that the holiday was spoken
of in the fourth century as a 'custom
of long standing.
ChristMaa began as Christ's Mass,
or the Massa of Christ, some time
during the fourth century. It took
that long after the blessed night for
the great importance of Christ's birth
to be realized by the people, Until this
time It had beers the custom of the
church to celebrate the anniversaries
of deaths, rather than births. Christ's
birthday was the first to be made an
occasion for feasting.
, The date for the celebration of
the Christ Mass \was selected by the
church. So 'natty years had elapsed
that the actual date of His birth
could only be a matter of conjecture,
The festival and spirit of Christmas
spread through the Christian worlds,
pagan customs, even as they do to"
day, attempted to adapt themselves to
the Christmas SEI.S611,
For many years after the origin of
Christ's Mass the church frowned on
the practice of exchanging gifts dur-
ing the festival season, Later, how-
ever, the practice was condoned, In
remembrance of the Spirit of the
Three, Kings of the Orient who had
followed the shining Star to the crib
of the now-born Christ, bringing pro"
seats With a• Sense of hutniiitY.
