Deputy Reeve Burd a! Hamilton drew attention to by-law 1138 pass- ed ini 1925 which empowered the Warclen ta issue order for payment o! accounts for supplies required by the counties offices, j ail, House o! Refuge, registry offices, division courts, with this ad'ditional clause, or any other accounts for which these counities are liable for pay- ment." He contended that this pro- vision extendeci the Warden's auth- ority to a wide range o! expenditure. The amending phrase he proposed was "or any such supply accounts for which these counties are liable." Mr. Burd said that prior ta 1925 the counties had no annual deficit, but since then deficits had been In- curred li'rgely by reason o! expendi- tures which could be authorlzed by the warden under by-law 1138 wth- out the !urther sanction o! the, r ,oiinceil. The motion ta, amend By-law 1138, was; pronosed at a meeting o!tel L"ýgi'-aon andi Bv-laws commlttee bY Reeve F. S. Gray, seconedby Reeve J. A. R. Eiiott o!

REEVE LOCKHART LEADS IN DEBATE ON STERILIZATION Bowma.nville Counties Councilior Keeps Important Cireular Out of Waste Paper Basket Members o! the Counties Coun- cil of Northumberland and Durham opened the final session of 1933 Tuesday, December 5th, with War- den Frank Rickard in the chair. Little business was done other than reading o! communications, among which was a letter from the Eugenic Society of Canada pointing out the necessity for the sterilization of the unfit and urging the counties coun- cil to urge upon the government the need for enactîng a law making sterilization possible. The letter pointed out the increas- ed menace of the propagation of the feeble-minded, quoting figures to show that in Ontario. feeble-minded families were breeding more rapid.ly that normal familles and would ul- timately bring about a nation o! feeble-minded people. In the opin- ion of the Eugenic Society the only remed.y is sterilizatian. Ex-Warden G. Hooten moved that the communication be received but not f iled. "What's the use of clutter- ing up the desk with such stuff?" A Serions Matter Immediately there arase protests that such an important matter should nat be dealt with sa lightly. Reeve T. H. Lockhart of Bowman- ville. said that he considered the matter o! vital importance and said that unless the propagation of the feeble-minded was contralled, a de- plorable condition would be the resuIt. He said that every care was taken in the cuflin.g of live stock in order to breed the best and some such steps should be taken with the. feeble-minded. Reeve W. E. Cooper, of Cobourg, said that it was a serious matter, but that another serious matter was the ever increasing population of foreigners in Canada. Forele~ers were increasing s0 rapidly, he said. that if something was not dane. the English-speaking peoples would be overrun. Ex-Warden Hooten said when he suggested the letter should not be f iled was because lie believed it was a money-making scheme on the part of some company. Mfter considerable discussion it was decided ta appoint a speclal cammittee ta cansider the matter a.nd bring in a report.

Bowmanville Dalry DEPARTMENT 0F HIGHWAYS MOTOR VEHICLES BRANCH "For the Ghildren's Sake' An open letter to every motorist in Ontario We have learned to think of Christmas as the children's festival -the time when child-hopes and happiness are lifted high in every home in city, town, and village. But Christmas-tide is very often a season ot icy roads and slippery streets, when driving becomes difficuit and dangerous, and cars slide and slip over the treacherous surface. It is the time when accidents and fatalities can happen without warning - unless drivers realize the imperative need for added care and extra caution. Throughout the province to-day, thousands of children are eagerly anticipating the coming of Christmas, and the joy of the days ta follow when the presents and pleasures of that day will bring renewed happiness and enjoyment. If, by any fault of drîving or from any neglect of some simple rule of safety, you were ta deprive one of these children of health and strength, even of life itself-wbat a responsibility would be yours! For the children's sake, this appeal is made ta you, and ta every motorist in Ontario: that throughout this winter, you undertake to drive carefully, cautiously, sanely, and safely, lest one child's life be lost, or one little form crippled or torn? Don t let any home in Ontario be darkened by sorrow and sadness this Christmas-tide because YOU did not drive carefully enough. This is an objective worth the effort -and its cost is only a littie more care as you drive. More and more the considerate motorîsts of Ontario are realizing how much depends upon them, in the campaign for safety driving on our roads. It is a matter of deep gratification ta know that fatalities in which automobiles are concerned are decreasing in this province. From January lst ta October 3lst, 1933, there were 71 Iess fatalities of that character than in the same period last year. For this marked impravement in safety-driving the Government of Ontario offers its thanks and congratulations ta the motorists of the province. It is a definite indication that the majority of drivers of automobiles in Ontaria are co-aporating in a real endeavour ta reduce the death-tolI of the open road. Ta ensure that this gratifying improvement is maintained during the dangerous days of winter, as well as throughout the caming year, wil] YOU not make this resolution, if for no other reason than "for the children's sake'": ta pratect life and health by driving with care and caution, by observing the simple rules of the road, and by making safety your motta as you drive along the highways and the by-ways of the Province? -A> Miitrof Righways l Toronto, December l9th, 19, CARTWRIGHT COUNCIL Statutary meeting of the Council was held Dec. lSth. with members ail present and Reeve N.
