HELP (Continued. from Page 1) vember, and Reeve Doig was of the opinion that on the basis of the amount involved, no benefit could result from insisting that a spe- cial meeting be called. Iu any ev- ent, in relating the damage caus- ed by recent storms ' with that which resulted in 1953 to the amount which was granted 'by the council at that time, no major contribution 'could be anticipated, he said. '`Since it cost $500 to call a special session of council, .he was of the opinion that it would be most unfortunate . if such action was taken. Proceed Locally Vincent Lane, of McKillop, was of the same opinion. The thing to do was to proceed. locally and do everything possible . that could be done within the local area, to help those who were hurt. Mr. Lane added the thought that there might be more storms in the meantime before the council met. • Recommending that a committee be appointed to arrange to receive donations, Mr. Montgomery point- ed out that this is a farming com- munity, and when something hap- pens to affect the welfare of farm- ers in the community, it is a mat- ter for everybody. Certainly noth- ing was to be gained if no effort was made. Mr. Erskine agreed. He recall- ed that the previous provincial con- tribution had been based on a per- centage of local receipts and pointed out that if a start was not made, certainly there could be no anticipation of receiving assistance elsewhere. He recalled, too, that in 1953 the Province, before it would consider the matter in any way, had insisted that an assess- ment of the damage be made by the county assessor, and he told the meeting that he knew if it was desired, the service of the' county assessor would be available on this occasion. The meeting agreed.) that all damages should be assessed by McKillop W.M.S. At Thornton Hall Mrs. J. F. Scott entertained the ladies of the McKillop group of First Presbyterian Church, Sea- forth, at the July meeting. The president opened the meeting with. a poem, "God's Gift." Hymn 581 was sung, The minutes of the June meeting were adopted as read. There were 22 members and 12 visitors present. Mrs. J. F. Scott gave the treas- urer's report. Hymn 582 was sung, and Miss Jean Scott gave the Bible reading. The prayer was given by the president. Miss Bar- bara Coleman favored with a piano solo. The topic, "The Christian Mission in a Revolutionary World, Along the Jericho Road," was giv- en. Those taking part were Mrs. Helen McMillan, Mrs. Agar, Mrs. J. T. Scott, Mrs. G. B. Dorrance, Mrs. J. M. Govenlock, Mrs. W. J. Thompson and Miss Esther Hock- ing. Mrs, Albert Harrison receiv- ed -the offering.. Hymn 537 was sung. The meeting closed with the Lord's Prayer repeated in unison.

Two Properties in. Perth Reviewing the situation that arose in Hibbert Township, Reeve Butson said that the damage had been confined to two properties, iu the northwest corner of the town- ship. He did not know whether ac- tion was contemplated on a county- wide basis in Perth, but felt since the damage occurred in an area adjacent to the damage in McKil- lop and Tuckersmith, there would be benefits in treating the three townships as a unit, It was at , this point that the meeting endorsed a proposal to form an organization to provide for canvassing the townships con- cerned. Councillor Frank Falcon- er, of Tuckersmith, suggested that Federation of Agriculture units in each of the .townships, would wish to handle the canvass, and it was. agreed that these organizations would be requested to assume that responsibility. The meeting expressed its ap- preciation to Mr. Pepper and Mr. McCartney for the preliminary work which they had done in de- termining the identity of those who had suffered lossetogether with an initial indication of the damage. In a short meeting of the com- mittee which followed, details were worked out and arrange- ments made for the campaign to get under way August 1. It was agreed that the names, together with the amounts contributed, would be published in local papers. Chairman Chesney stressed the necessity that the campaign be proceeded with quickly, and urg- ed that all action be completed by August 18.
