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

• - Seeing England
(C'antintred from page 1)
it was H.M. Scots' Guard, lovely in
their kilts, and the Prince of Wales
whom I saw. ITm so glad they're
coming to our own Canadian Exhibi-
tion; it will, be such a thrill to hear -
them again. 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.
Next time you hear from me we'll
probably be somewhere en route to
"the North." Keep on with the let-
ters to. Canada House and they'll be
forwarded. As ever, Marion.

But I must get back to the Huron

in tines long ago a chunk or two of
ice didn't count for much as it bump-
ed into us boys in its mad rush to

ZURICH
Hartman vs. Denomene.-A number
from this community attended the
Assizes at Goderich last week to hear
the trial of the case of John Hart-
man against Ed. 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

forth, represented Hartman, and J.
G. 6Stanrnbury, of Exeter, acted for

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.
