S'EAF+QRTH, Friday, November 10th, The Past Has Gone. but What of the Future? As one would expect, the report o: the chartered accountant, who has been engarted for some months, in an examination of the county's financial affairs, would be a document of ab- sorbing interest to the ratepayers of Huron. It has proved just that. The re- port was made public ten days ago and while it proved too voluminous to 'be printed vel^batunt, a compre- hensive synopsis, of its contents ap- peared in most of the county papers. Since our last issue, however, num- erous inquiries have been naade about the detailed resume of the finances back to, 1938 as conttpiled and tabu- lated,by the accountant in his report. In fact there would appear to be. --ea-great, or greater interest mani- fested in these detailed figures than in any other part of the repart. •Why all this interest in figures? The body of the report contains the results and totals arrived at through these figures and puts them in very plain words. Why then are the find- ings arrived at and published consid- ered of less importance and interest than the figures themselves? Is it because county councillors and wobld-be county councillors see in this mass of figures, unlimited ma- terial, ready to hand, with which to wage ,battle at the forthcoming mun- _,_ icipal elections? Figures -make „fine 'material for eampaign speeches and there are enough in the accountant's report. if properly handled, to becloud any other municipal issue as well as the electorate and the speakers them- selves. We would strongly advise against the adoption of any such campaign On. the part of 'candidates at the ,coming elections. It wouldn't pay. And for this reason: Boiled down, the figures in the financial part of the chartered accountant's report on the finances of Huron County .tell one and only one :tory. And that. is that 'upwards of eleven thousand dollar; were absconded from the public treasury tight under the noses of the present county conn - ell and its predecessors, while the members of those bodies were en- gaged 'et what they considered more important business. But events have proven that practising economy at the spiggot and leaving a bunghole wide open, does not profit the tax- payers to any noticeable extent, There is one part of Mr. Gibbs.' report, however, that shoyrld receive the deepest consideration, at the hands of every county councillor, and that should hold first place in any dis- cussion of county affairs at the corn- ing municipal elections. That is the part ,wherein the ac- 'eountant sets forts'his "Recommenda- tions," Strange as it may seem, eve have heard no cotriment upon =these whatever, nor have 'we heard either councillors or ratepayers discuss them in any way. In his recommendations 'Mr. Gibbs lays down the policy which should be adopted by the County Council in the future conduct of its financial af- fairs. recommendations are not complierbut much of the ground work is laid out, and if Huron is to prof}t in any way from its lamentable„ blunders in the past, intlmediate con- sideration must he given to the future conduct of its finances, 2nd to those who will have the 'handling of them. •Huron has suffered a severe finan- cial loss, trotter very regrettable cir- cumstances:- But tlbe loss is history now. It !vas gond What will we make orf tli'e future in regard to county finances? That is the real question. i •mormokno"Tr 11vINGHA.M A successful -masquerade was held in Sit.

Muriel discovered some days later that she had taken a whole roll of film with the back of a man's head neatly in the foreground! What luck! Nobody ever hurries in England, certainly never in London. Never run to catch a bus, or board a train; never rush to grab a taxi or even mildly agitate oneself to keep an apeointnent. For over a week we have been trying to persuade the steamship office that it is important for , us to get our sailing date set- tled and suitable accommodation ar- ranged for getting back to our na- tive shores, before setting out on this indefinite motor trip. Throginor- ten Street, London's .\Vail Street, looks as though it was continually a victim of pernicious sleeping sick- ness when you begin making the odioas comparisons: Even Fleet Street, the famous newspaper row, never seems to experience the man- iacal hustle and rush that would dis- tinguish our humble King and Yonge corner any evening about five bells. And there is nothing like any Lon- don department store 'to utterly con- vince you that, for the. moment at least, you are a lady of leisure. Each customer is comfortably "good-morn- inged" or "good eveninged" with all the ceremony of a court presenta- tion. In our .spare moments these last few days we have been tramping around the area of 'the ,Marble Arch in search of a car that will bring us back safely where we started from. Helen's membership in the A, A. cer- tainly facilitates matters considerab- ly: You see, it is somewhat of a difficulty to get one to accommodate five women and their baggage and odds and ends.

'Wonderful how the im- pressions of youth remain .with us all.

Jack Scott came from Middletown to Harpurhey school, se did his brother Andrew. The late Dr. Scott was a brother.

J. Denoneme, In 1930 Hartman sold his farm on the Bronson Line to Denomume for $6,- 500, receiving $1,000 in cash and a mortgage hack for the balance. Then in the fall of last year when his son Philip was married, Hartman ap- proached Denomane to sell the place back to him. An agreement was reached at $600 and, the takin gover of the mortgage. Trouble arose, however, when iH'artman claimed the right, to deduct the interest of the mortgage and offered to pay only $'54 in cash and Denomme claimed he was promised the return of• his $1,000 less the mortgage interest, or $600 as stated in the agreement, When Hartman issued a writ to foreclose the mortgage he was met with a counterclaim for the $600. Justice Hope, of Toronto, heard witnesses all day on Wednesday and gave judg- event, dismissing the foreclosure and granting Denomrme his counterclaim for $600 'with costs, less the taxes for 1938, as he had received this year's crop. J. J. Haggard, of Sea - forth, represented Hartman, and J. G. 6Stanrnbury, of Exeter, acted for Den omme. Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Deichert, Jr., returned., on Sunday from a honey- moon trip to eastern points. They were married on Wednesday of last week at the Lutheran parsonage by Rei*:- E. Tuerkheim.

Mrs. Wettlaufer and Mrs. S, Oliver, of Kitchener, who have :been visiting here for a week, returned' to their homes with •Mr. Moritz. Mr. Moses Geiger has left for Wel- land with his son, Rev. R.

The services held in St. Paul's An- glIcan,.'Church on Sunday last were conducted by the Rector, Rev. Park- er and at the morning service ;Holy ComJmtunion was Observed with a good attendance and well thought out and delivered discourse appropriate to the occasion, the choir taking their part very ably, The service was es- pecially for the merrubers of the A. Y. P. A. but all members of the church were welcome and invited to commemiorate the comimand of Chr,ist in that Holy Sacrament. At Carmel 'Presbyterian Church the services both morning and evening, were taken by 'Mr. Maleolm Young a student of divinity, and brother ofl Rev. W. A. Young, the pastor of Carmel Church, who is recaterin'g nicely from h recent operation for e appendicitis, and will, no doubt, be able to take his services on the com- ing Sunday. He has returned from Scott Memorial Hospital at Seafortlt and is now able to go around a lit- tle and gaining rapidly every day. Rev. A. Sinclair on 'Sunday last, both morning and evening, preached tine sermons on both occasions that evidenced careful jthoughteinspiring messages, and good wholesome ad- vice, ,coupled with earnest presenta- tion. At the morning service Mr. Pfile sang the solo part of an an- them, accompanied in parts of it by Mrs. Ptile and Mr. Goodwin and at the evening service Miss Annie Smit rendered a solo very pleasingly and Mrs. Mark Drysdale also rendered a solo part in the anthem. On Saturday, November 11th, Re- membrance Day, a union service of the local churches will be held in the United Church at three o'clock which will, no doubt, be most largely at- tended not only by the returned sol- diers, but by the public at large, in- "fluding the scholars of both the con- tinuation and public schools. There will also be a union choir of the three churches which will, no doubt, in- sure very fine singing so that this service will prove most inspiring and well worth attending. The choir will render musical selections appropri- ate to the occasion, and the addresses of resident ministers will also be in keeping with the occasion, Saturday being observed as a holiday will af- ford business men an opportunity of attending. Fowl suppers, concerts and enter- tainments are the order during this month and for which fine prepara- tions are being made by the local churches, and large attendance con- fidently looked forward to. On Tuesday afternoon the sleet and rain of the first part of the day turned into a, real snow storm late in the afternoon and at date of writ- ing the ground is well covered with a blanket .of snow, but it is hoped that it will soon give place to a continuation of the fine weather we have been having during the past couple of weeks or so. 'Mrs. T. C. Joynt who has been in - very poor health for some time past, is at present in the Clinton Hospital for further treatment, 'but .more es- pecially. for heart trouble, and com- plete rest for same, and it• is hoped that she may soon regain her ac- custotned health. ,air. Ernest K. Hutton, assistant in the C. N. R. Station, has rented the dwelling of Mr. 'John D. Stewart on King Street, and has moved into it. 'Quite a number from the village and vicinity on Monday evening last attended the missionary services held in the James Street United Church at Exeter, at which there was fine talent in both speech and song op- ening with a banquet at six o'clock. 11VIr, Lloyd Hudson, freight agent of the C. N. R. at Forest, and form- erly an assistant at the local office 'here, spent the past week here pre- paring to move there and close tip his dwelling here until he decides to rent it. Mr. James A. Bell, of the London Road, a short distance south of the village, was taken. to Victoria Hos- pital, London, the end of last week for a serious operation, which he passed through very favorably, but being a critical one he has not, at date of writing, been just as well as it was hoped for. Being in good health right up to within a very short time past, it is hoped that he may make a good recovery. +Mrs. J. P. Campbell and little son, 'eil, of Windsor, are here visiting at the parental hone owing to Mr. Bell's illness. Mr. William Luker is and has been for the past week or two confined to his room through a very severe cold. The address gi'ven in the Town Hall on Tuesday evening last in the interest of 'building up better bodies given by the Rev, Mr. Robinson, was very interesting, instructive and most helpful and it is regretted that more were not out to hear it. Our vacant 'houses during the summer months are fast filling up with the conning of the winter months. IThe congregation of Carmel Pres- byterian Church is.' looking forward with very much interest, to their fowl supper on Thursday evening of this week. 'Mr. John Bean is opening up a bakery in the village in the shop formerly occupied 'by.Mr. Wtilliam A. McLaren, as a hardware store, Mr. Bean has for some time past been baking and supplying customers from his home about a mile south of the village on the highway, but it will be more convenient for him and. his patrons to have his bakery in the village, and he will, no doubt, com- mand a fair share of patronage in his new premises so 'nicely- fitted out. iA curio tea and sale of work will be held in St. ,Paul's Anglican church en Saturday, November 18th, at 3 o'clock. •A very interesting collec- tion of 100 curios will be on ex- hibition, representing India, China, Japan, .Canada (both Indian and Es- kimo). Afternoon tea will be serv- ed, The 'Huroitdale W. I. held their October meeting at the home of Mrs. Stewart McQueen, over fifty ladies being present. After the opening ex- ercises, the minutes of the previous meeting were read and several items of business were discussed. The roll call was well answered with "Uses for Paper." The layette upon which the nnemibers had been working, .was reported finished and was on display at the meriting. Miss Hannah Keddy gave a very interesting paper en- titled, "Character the Grandest thing in the World." During the afternoon Mrs. Case Howard, of New York, favored with two splendid solos which were much appreciated. A very en- joyable feature of the meeting atlas a demonstration by Mrs. Jesse Jaques on making .articles from oilcloth, which proved to be very instructive especially as she showed in addition many articles which she had pre- viously made. The meeting was them closed with the National Anthelm. Refreshments were served from tables attractively set with Hal- lowe'en decorations, the Hallowe'en motif being carried out in the house also, Those assisting the hostess were Mrs. Gordon Bolton, Mrs. J. Selves, Mrs. 0. Ryckman and Miss McTaggart. The next meeting .will he held at the' hone of Mrs. Arthur 'Rundle.
