He had 'been on two •eounty committees this year, Legislative and Equalization. The side 'men on the Equalization committee had toured the county and compared equalized assessments. "t1 think the Township of Usborne has the most goad land, or the least waste land," he said. "I think our assessment here is all right compared to others; 'here some '518,- 000 $18;000 value are only .assessed for $7,- 000. I' think the only thing is ass- essment for education but it is too deep for me." There are three urban and three rural mehnbers on the committee. Discussing fox bounty, he said it was discontinued at bhe January meeting of county 'council and *e Agriculture committee asked it be continued, at the June meet- ing. On a vote it was lost by two to Council needed a little surplus when ' Bey i n one. At the November meeting they something happened such as Mie schools at the nomination meeting.

The three victims were on their wayahome from the" West Tor 'C'hrisbmnas. Mr. Holmes had 'been making annual visits to the West where he had interests in land. Mrs. Holmes 'had accompanied hint but returned 'home two months ago. The Leitch 'brothers had been !homesteading in the West and were coming home for the 'winter. Reg. Blackstone of Goderich, bandmaster of bhe 38rd regiment band, ,passed away at Goderich after an appendicitis operation. Warden John M. Goveniock was honored by 'county council and presented with a gold head- ed Dane. Mr. George Sproat of Swift Current is visiting relatives here.

Erskine, 'Goderich, Huron county clerk -treasurer. The resignation, if 'accepted, is to be effective Jan. 1, 1956. Dr. Addison, 'who has served the Home for the past years, stated that the did not feel ,the salary paid atm warranted the services expected 'On duty call '24 hours a day, seven days a week, 52 weeks a year, the salary for the position is 5800 0 year. The matter 'mane to a head earlier this week at the regular meeting of the Huron County Home 'committee of the county council, when it was suggested 'that a 526 bill for holiday relief he taken from Dr. Addison's salary.

AN EXCELLENT RECORD "For nine anonths front Jan- uary 1 to 'September 30, (1955) there were only 17 oases of liquor violation, 'and the major- ity of !them applied to out-of- town people. was the record in one of aur ibeautiful !Central Ontario towns where there are no legal o'u'tlets. "We feel," the ed'i'torial from ,which we quote continues, "and feel strongly, that the easier alcoholic beverages are to Ob- tain, the more will be consumed. We 5fer no apologies for what may be considered in some quar- ters as 'an ald-fashi'o'ned attitude by a gray -headed editor. He is just gray -(headed enough to re- member the days of a liquor store and 'barrooms in 5 hotels." Mrs. M. A. Reid Mrs. Margaret A. Reid, 92, Varna, died last Thursday in Clinton Public Hospital.
