'hanges In Municipal Act Affect Local Elections Ontario Trails Beckon iDurln^ the vacation monlthte of July and August, many of us will be fofllowing woodland trail and canoe- ing on Ontario's lakes and rivers Some trails have an origin centuries old, since before the earliest Euro- peans arrived in America the Indians had made well-defined routeb thru the woods from one waterway to an- other, which they used for hunting trips and when on the war path- These paths were noted and utilized by early French explorers and trad- ers. The chain of lakes and rivers now known as the Trent System was the one used in 161'5 by the Huron^ leading Champlain from Georgian Bay to Lake Ontario. Paul Kane's portraits in the Ontario gallery at the Royal Ontario Museum depict the appearance of the Indians of the various tribes which blazed the or- iginal trails. RATION COUPON DUE DATES Coupons now valid are sugar-pre- serve's SI to S23; butter RIO to R15; Meat M40 to M46. ♦♦♦ » l > > f ' > * IH >t fttH* »*>** (Orillia News-Letter) Changes in the municipal election act. copies of which have been re- ceived by Morgan Payne, town clerk, will nave two important results, in- suring more time between nominat- ions and electron day. and practical- ly necessitating the attendance of prospective candidate^ at nonunst ions meetings if they wish to decide what office they may run for- The first amendment to the act will pro- vide more time for printing ballots and making other armngements for the election- The second amendment requires candidates nominated to de- cline at the nominations meeting of- fices they do not wisih to run for, if perchance they are nominate first for feuch offices. If Mr- Jones wishes to run for al- derman, he must attend the nominat- ion meeting, otherwise someone who doesn't want him to be alderman may first nominate him for school trustee. The amendment explicitly state's that unless a candidate dec- lines prior nominationis, he shall be considered nominated for the first office- Mr. Payne says that it will necessitate the clerk at nominations meetings numbering all nominations in the order in which they are made or received. Candidates will have to be present also, to see that prior nominations do not prevent them ac- cepting the one nomination they pre- fer- It has been hinted that the new regulation should prevent candidates jockeying for positions. Candidates nominated for feeveral positions must exercise their choice at once instead of waiting until near the end of the qualification deadline to decide on the race that apipears the easiest to win. Nominations may be held on the last Monday of the year as hitherto, with the election following on tiie first Monday of the New Year. But the new amendments stipulate that the nomination meeting in this event must^be held at noon on the last^ Monday and not in the evening. The alternative i's for the council to de- cide by by-law not later than the first day of Xoveml)er on other :days for nomination and election. In ex- I ercising such an alternative choice, they cannot fix on a nominatior. meeting earlier than the Friday pre- ceding the last Monday in November and there must ensue 14 days be- tween nomination and election days. Farmers And Compensation A good deal of interest is being taken in the encouragement that is being given young men, particularly those with a knowledge of agricultur- al lore, to become farm workers. Ar- rangements have been made whereby in Ontario they will come under the provision of the Workman's Com-pen- sation Aot and be entitled to benefits the same as applies to workers in other fields of employment- Farm help is to be directed into two classes and farm employees will be called up- on to pay |l-80 per every $100 wages for general farming and 90 cents per every flOO wages for specialized farming. General farming included all farms using horses and heavyma" chinery and keeping cattle, while specialized farmmg comprises poult- ry and hog raising and small truck farms where the risk of accidents is not so great- Under the plan a totally disabled farm worker would receive two-thirds of his average income up to $2,500 and down to a minimum of $12-50 per week- If the worker i^ only partially disabled he would be entitltd :o .tee vc a fraction in pro- portion of tlu lot.il (li>;ib:-iiy allow- ance. The i-.a-" er." i : <•- medical care and siir;? &. ai :, '. ?,i ;ai tpi.v ment when an accident results in death the widow is entitled to receive $45.00 a month during widowhood, as well as $10 a month for each child under 18 years of age- The authori- ties have a method of dealing with young men who view farm work with disdain. Those unemployed who re- fuse offers of work on farms will be permanently curt off unemployment insurance, which many have been enjoying while Ontario farmers suf- fer because of labor shortages. F.

Tues- day was one of these days with Jack McGowun and Ted Styles of town, who are in charge cf the Schutz Co- road sprayer- They were spraying the highway in Rosemount, east of Shelbzurne. and everything was going fine until a passenger car backed out of a yaid some distance up the road and backfired. The backfire set the newly oiled road aflame almost in- stantly and gave the residents of the village a thrill the oldest residents have not had since the big Michigan bush fire. Luckily the oil spreader was far enough away that it cowld get out of the way of the flames- The accident should show everybody just how easy i Last week those attending Mira- michi C.G.I-T. camp near Port Elgin from the senior group in Flesherton were: Eleanor Sparks, Evelyn Stew- art. Marion Stauffer. Joan Tumey and Shirley McCracken. This week those from the Happy Helpers group attending the camp are: Mary Jane McTavish, Muriel Sparks. Elaine Cook and Marie Stewart.
