steal a march on their competitors, The only
purpose is to have as many Wingham stores a6
possible extend their sincere invit,ation to the
shopping public; 'not to slash prices to the bone
but to offer consistently dependable and honest
buying opi3ortunities.

because the newspaper and most of the merchants
are aware that it is through these eoltumis the
most direct and dependable approach can be made
to the rbsidents of Wingliam and its surrounding
rural community.
We do ask one favor of shoppers. When you
are inaking your purchases, hi the storekeeper
know that you have seem his message in the paper.
That is his only way of knowing 'whether or not

Indications at county council last
week pointed to a rise In tai rates
for 1958, although it was not , be-
lieved that the' jump Would be Very
great,
it happeared likely that 7,4 mills
will ,be required for the general
account and 6, mills for county
roads. The 1947 rate was.. 7.6 -Innis
for geOerat purposes and 5.15° 4118
for roads,
'One of the major increases pc
nense was the paYrnent of the 'fort
bounty ,which leaped from $748 in'
1956 to almost 45,000 in 1957, Tak-
ing immediate action- to lower this
cost, the council cut -the 'botiply
from $2,00 to $1.09. 'rho Jowetpd
bounty is, offset by, a. recent, In-
crease in the value of fox pelts.
Some members of ,the '-council,
speaking on the question, favored
the abolition of bounty payments.
