EXETER OLD BOY ORDAINED
Ten young men were ordained into
the Methodist ministry at Goderich
on Sabbath last. Among the number
was Rev. John E. Walker, B.A., who
was received into the London Con-
ference but who received a special•;
ordination last year by the Toronto
Conference. Rev. Mr. Walker is a',
son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Walker,'
of Exeter North. He has been at-
tending Toronto University and at
the same time has had charge of a
church in that city, where his labors
have been greatly appreciated by the
congregation. Rev. Mr. Walker has
offered himself for the Foreign Mis-
sion Fields and expects in a short
time to leave ,for West. China. Rumor
has it that he does not expect to go
alone, but that a Toronto young lady
will sail with him as a life partner.
Mr. Walker has been District League
president in the district where he la-
bored and the Epworth Leagues of
that district have pledged themselves
to meet the financial obligations in
keeping Mr. Walker in the Mission
Field. Mr. Walker's many friends in
town have watched with interest his
career and will wish for him every
success in the future.

COMMON (''ARE
Rain and shine and joy and woe
Everybody here must know
No one ever went through life
And escaped the touch o' strife;
No oue ever lived and died
But has had his courage tried
And has suffered grief and pain,
Care's as common as the rain.
Yesterday I shed some tears
And the joy of all the years
Seemed to me was fading fast
But to -day the storm has passed.
I am smiling once again.
Peace has driven away the pain
From the heavy clouds of doubt
I have seen my sun come out.
In the hospital to -day
One there was whose race was gray,
Gray with anxious care, and he
Pitifully looked at me
As he passed the corridor
With his eyes upon the floor
What he suffered well I knew,
I had walked and waited too.
i had lived those hours of care,
Paced, as he was pacing there.
But a day or two before
I bad walked the corridor
And it struck me as a blow
What a common thhig :s woe!
Day to day some hearts are torn
By the cares that must be borne.
Now I smile and he is sad,
Now he grieves and I am glad. ,
And to -morrow there shall be
Someone else where now is he.
Rain and shine and joy and woe,
Everybody here must know,
Each in turn ere life is o'er,
Paces doubt's grim corridor.

County Council
Many important Matters Being Dealt
with at June. Session.
The county council convened at
Goderich on Tuesday afternoon of
last week for the regular June ses-•
sion. The council room was at torrid
heat, and the members sat du their
shirt sleeves and tried to be as com-
fortable as possible. All the mem-
bers were in atendance.
The Warden, Mr. J. N. Camp:aell of
East Wawanosh, in his opening re-
marks spoke of several important
matters that. would come before the
council this session. One was the
(luestionof an increased expenditure
for better hospital accommodation in
this county. TThe Y. M. C. A. would
ask for the continuation of the grant
voted last year. The village of Exet-
er
xeter was asking that it be constituted a
high school district. There was a
question as to a union school section
made up from portions of Hullett and
Tuckersmith. The teachers of the
county would make representations
regarding county improvement. The
matter of constructing a new bridge
at Grand Bend would come up, and
other matters were the grant to the
Navy League, equalization bylaws,
and special grants. The Warden
urged that all these matters be given
due consideration and that the mem-
bers co-operate heartily in transact-
ing the business expeditiously and
carefully. While the war was on
the council without hesitation voted
any sum that was necessary for carr-
ying on matters in connection with
the war; now that the war was over
it would be necessary that no grants
be made without due consideration.
The Provincial Board of License
Commissioners submitted a detailed
statement of the receipts and expend-
itures for the enforcement of the
Canada Temlieranee Act in the count-
y of Huron for the license year end-
ing April, 30th., 1919. The receipts
including balances of $218.68 from
the previous year and payments of
$2,282.79 by the county treasurer,
totalled $3.250, and the payments
were $2,466.35, leaving an unexpend-
ed balance of $783.65. The expend-
itures were mainly for the ,salary and
expenses for the two inspectors
and for constables', magistrates' and
counsel fees.
Provincial Rebate for Roadwork
The amount received by the county
from the Provincial Government in
connection with highway construction
and maintenance, for the year, 1918,
was $20,685.67. This amount was
made up as follows:
For Provincial county roads
- 60 per cent. of the
county's expenditure $3,894.43
For county road construction
(including bridges) -40 per
cent. of county expendi-
ture 12,432.64
For county road maintenance
- 20 per cent of county
expenditure .... .... .... ....4.358.60
The Warden explained that here-
after forty per cent. would be rebated
on the expenditure for maintenance.
A motion was introduced by Messrs.
Bailie and Dalton to the effect that
the. Dominion Parliament be asked to Continued on page five.
substitute electrocution for hal/ging
in cases of capital punishment. Ac ••
cording to the words of the resolution
hanging is held to be a barbaric
method and one which cannot be
effectively carried out in county jails.
The resolution was referred to the
special committee.
Inspector Toni and Messrs.. R. H.
Redmond of Westfield and W. H.
Johnston. of Kippen, representing the
West Huron Teachers' Association,
appeared before the council on be-
half of the campaign undertaken by
'the Association for county improve-
ment in the way of planting trees on
the roadsides, beautifying schuol
grounds, improving orchards, utiliz-
ing waste spaces, etc. The township
of Stanley has offered prizes for the
best work done along these lines by
schools in that township. and 11 is
suggested that the county give a
grant for a similar purpose. Ne ac-
tion was taken.
Mr. W. I. Chisholm, representing
the Department of Education addres-
sed the council with reference to the
formation of a new school inspector-
ate, to be formed of parts of the
counties of Lambton, Huron and Mid-
dlesex. The present inspectorates,
he said, were too large for the most
effective work. The portions of EIur-
on county that would be included in
the new inspectorate are the town-
ships of Stephen, Hay and Usborne. A
Committee of the Warden. Chair-
! man of the Educational Com., Reeve
I Beavers, of Exeter. was to take the
; matter up with other counties and
report at the December session,
Messrs. F. W. ' Gladman R. N.
Creech and J. S. Harry were a deput-
ation from Exeter supporting the ap-
Iplication for the formation of a high
school district at that point. 'Ir.
Gladman also addressed the council
on behalf of his town with refereee•e
to hospital accommodation. A by-
law was passed creating Exeter ,i.
High School district.
Dar 11.1 ore and Bettor Ilospituis
A strong deputation represc•ntiaeg
the various hospital boards within
the county and the Huron !Medical
' Association brought before the coni; -
ell the i,lan for the improvement of
hospital accommodation in this
county. The spokesmen of the de-
putation were Judge Dickson. Dr.
Macklin, of Goderich: Dr. A, .1. Ir-
win, of Wingham, Dr. Shaw, of Clin-
ton, and Messrs. A. D. Sutherland,
and J. A. Stewart, of Seafortle
was asked that the council give a
grant of $60,000, of which $16.000
would go to Goderich, $15,000 to
Wingham, $12,000 to Clinton, $8.1100
to Seafort.h and $8,000 to Exeter.
Goderich Clinton and Wingham have
already hospitals, and it is proposed
to have hospitals at Exeter and Sea -
forth.
The case for lite proposed grant
was strongly presented. Dr. Macklin
told how this country was away be-
hind Great Britain in the matter of
hospital aecomodation. There the
hospital patient receives] free treat-
ment, be cost of the hospitals being
paid from the taxes, just as the
schools are maintained in this coun-
try, Dr. Shaw said that probably
