WRITES MOTHER
T R
Frank Grieve Tells Of Trip
To Scotland While
On Leave.
Hartwood, Scot., April 17.
Dear Mother: As you will notice
by the heading, I. am back in good old
Scotland again. My leave started on
Monday morning and I. was• in Glas-
gow at 10 p.m. that night. It took a
lot of fast moving to catch the right
trains, but I am accustomed to that
now. I was in London exactly twen-
ty-five minutes and saw absolutely
nothing.' It was a case of getting off
the train at Victoria, getting the un-
derground to' Euston and getting on
the train again. The trip was .unev-
entful, and I slept part of the way;
the, rest of -the time I read. For a
change the train was- on time and I
think it is the first time a this has ev-
er happened fa me.
Arriving in Glasgow I went to my
usual canteen, "The City Mission 'Can; a
teen," hadsupper and then went to
bed. Luckily I sent' a telegram or I
might still be looking for a bed. One
has to live and learn over here.
'Tuesday' I wandered about the city
trying to • find someone 1 knew. It
was the same old' story though, and
one of these days I am going to give

MORE ROOM NEEDED -
AT COUNTY HOME
Huron County Counell convened for
the June session at thy' Court House,
Godetich, on Tuesday,'all members be-
ing present except Reese John Fergu-
son, of Hullett Township, who is con-
fined to hishome• through illness.
In his opening address Warden B.'
W.. Tuckey, of Exeter, urged upon
council the necessity of increased pro-
duction in Huron this year, and said
in part: "I call upon you county
council members to do your utmo. t
to help ,the farmer attain this objed-
tive this year. Food is'needed as nev-
er beflire, for ourselves and the starv-
ing millione of Europe which ere are
going to be -called upon to help feed
as soon as the invasion of that con-
tinent gets under way."
• The warden submitted for donsid-
eration at this 'session a proposal to
prohibit the slaughtering of veal
calves or baby beeves under the age
of one and a half years" or under the
weight of possibly- 900 pounds. This,
he explained, would be a move toward
produeing more beef per head and,
as there is only a limited number of
calves each year, it would serve to
increase actual production in pounds
of beef in• this county.
•The warden asked the members to
inspect • the Court House and .place
their 'stamp of approval on the re-
decoration carried out by the pro-
perty committee.
Whileconsiderable 'damage- had
been done to the county roads tip win-
ter conditions and floods, most of the
roads have been repaired. No new
construction can be undertaken on ac-
count of shortage of material due to
the war -and this year only mainten-
ance work will be undertaken. A new
culvert at Gerrie is -being completed.
The bounty is to be favored next
week, the warden outlined, in having
the Convention of managers and ma-
trons of County Homes in Ontario,
which is to be held at Sunset Hotel,
June 22, 23 and 24. He asked the sup-
port of particulars which would be
presented to the council.
The Huron County Federation. of.
Agriculture is In a very healthy con-
dition, and the; county ougteee to be
justly proud bf • this organization, de-
clared' Warden Tuckey. He also com-
mended the county for raising $3,500,-
000 in the Fourth Victory Loan, and
spoke with regret of the absence of
John Ferguson, -Reeve of Hullett,
Li/rot/eh illness.
Reeves R. E. -Turner, Goderich, ;and
