The Schools Commttee sugested in its report that the Department devise a simplified standard forin f or school requisitions. Reeve Hooton unintentionally pro- vided a laugh for the council wben he poînted out that the Agricultural Cornmittee could recommend only that inspectors under the Corn Borer Act be appointed, without naming any persan. The committee recommended E. B. Seeds, but Reeve Hooton said the inspector had ta be appolnted by bylaw. This point was vcrified by the clerk. Reeve Hooton then moved that a "corn borer be irispectcd," and after the laughter subsided Mr. Hooton attempted a correction by saying "I move an amendment that corn borers be ap- polnted." The amendinent was fin- aliy revised by Cavan's reeve, but the incident afforded an amuslng interlude. The council appointed by bylaw two corn borer inspectors for thisi year: W. H. Osborne of Coborne for Northumberland; and J. N. McQilli of Milbrook for Durham. Their re- muneratian is thrcc dollars a day, and f ive cents a mile, the same rates as last year.

Wardefl Stinson brake a match into twa un- ._uen engths and asked M. A. Sor- soleil, Deputy Minister of Public Welfare. te, pick out one of them. The longer match gave the appoint- ment ta Reeve Morrow. The ayes and nays were taken on Reeve Hess' motion for a grant of $55o to pay for lighting the bridge over the Trent River at Hastings.

LATE GOVERNMENT ROAD BILLS ARE FOISTED ON COUNTIES Buils submitted to several Ontario county councils at their meetings last week for the shiare of the coun- ties in highway work arise out of contracts jet by the former govern- ment of George S. Henry, and the present government lias no altern- ative but ta demand their payment,' said Hon. T. B. McQuesten, Ontario Minister of Hlghways. "They were practically afl ordered by the late government. and the contracts were let when we had corne Into office," Mr. McQuesten said. The United Counties Council of Northumberland and Durham bas received a bill for $73000. County Council of Leeds and Grenville urg- ed non-payment of a bill for $142,- 985. At present, Mr. MeQuesten said, counties are forced ta pay 20 per cent of the costs of highway con- struction in their arrears. That, however, will be amended at the forthcoming session of the Legis- lature and the Government will as- sume the entire cost of construction. The Minister said the move, of course, would flot be retroactive. Last faIl. Premier M. Fi Hepburn announced the intention of the Oov- eriment ta pay the full cost of hlgb- way construction. Counties' Council Muet Pay Architect $1,5W. Members of the Unted Counties Council were surprised and embar- rassed to iearn that the retiring Board of Management bad involved the council in an agreement with F. W. Warren, Hamilton architect, concerning plans for the re-building of the House of Refuge and profes- siorial services rendered already costing $1,500, even if it is' decided not ta re-build. The architect had been instructed by last year's Board to prepare plans and estimatesta be submitted at last week's sessions as a means of obviating delay in the expected reconstruction. His report of the approximate cost was $53.000, and his remuneration was ta be six per cent of this expenditure, his total charge including the $1.500 f'or pro- fessional advice and workared perf ormed. The council appreciateci the fact that the retiring Board, composed of ex-Warden Davey, Fred S. Gray and E. R. Ireland, had been actuat- ed by the best of intentions in de- siring ta facilitate the new councll's preparations for erectlng a new home for the aged dependents of the United Counties. The Board had been advised by the Department of Public Welf are and the Attorney- General's office ta obtaîn plans and estimates at once in order that they would be ready for the new council. But. balancing against these good intentions ofl the Board and its re- cognition of the emergency created by the f ire, was an aid county coun- cil custom of avolding undertakings at the close of the year for assump- tion by an incomlng council.

The thought persists that the root of the cause of the laxity 0f the laity (there is a slogan for somebady!) lies deeply imbedded in our ecclesiastical set-up. It cer- tainly refuses ta be cured by occas- lonal suppers and Laymen's Sun- days and other sPasmodlc efforts that have no "1follow-through." There is no doubt that at present in the average congregation the minister is the leader. There is also no doubt that thc unfortunate at- titude 0f the average layman ta the minister is that be is paid ta do his job, and, theref are, sbould assume most of the responsibility. The lay- man may become a doorkeeper, or an usher and perhaps be allowed ta receive the offering. He may be 1 elected ta the session, or the stew- ards, or the trustees. In any of these positions he wili soon find it is ahi a matter of organization eltb- er for raising money or keeping the church emlnenthy respectable in al af its activities. If he becomes weary of the mechanics of it ail, or is not fortunate enough ta be in any of these activities then there is no- thing left but. attendance and in these days there are many diverse and attractive places to whlch he can go other than a church. Gen- eralhy. he is actively engaged In earning a llvellhood for bimseif and famlly. He is constantly busy doing something. He has been brought up on activlty smncc bis earhy school- days. We bave got ta open up eith- er new or too long-chosed avenues of activity for aur men bef are we can secume their lnterest and en- thusiastic support. I have been trying ta read more of the New Testament iatehy, and the greatest revelation is the way Jesus was constanthy hclping people. There is no indication that He ever turned away from one wbo was sick or in trouble. Folk seemed attracted ta Him most because of His heaiing quaities and His extremely simple but heart-searching messages. Jesus seemed ta get resuits with very littie overhead. Ail of tbis mnay be noth- ing but ii-mannered criticism, but 1 have sometimes tried ta imagine what wauld have happened if the great Roman Cathalic Church had concentrated in the beginning On hospitals instead of monasteries and nunneries. Even now they are ahead of us with hospitals. 0f, if much less costly cathedmals and churches had been buiht down thraugh the centuries, and more money spent on the suffering humnanity that crept and crawied ta the very doors of these stately edifices. This is still only conjecture, but we might have been able ta put far mare of the laity ta, work i Christ- ian service that would have held their enthusiasin and devehoped a tremendous spiritual power ta bring His Kingdom on this earth much sooner. But now we find that the laymen are doing a glariaus work in hehping very uni artunate and suf - fering people, but not through the district agency of the Cburch, but thmaugh fraternal socleties and ser- vice clubs,'.but even then only Uic f ringe of the need is touched. It is amazing how men get enthusiastic about lendlng a hand ta other pea- pIe If they can get organized o t Jesus knew that this divine qua itY was inherent in ail of us, and His efforts and teachlngs were direct-1 ed upon its deveopmcnt. It is very true that the Church has directiy influenced the building of hospitals, and Uic arganized ef- fort of other agencies in welf are work 0f ahi klnds, but the average congregation, in so f ar as the iay- man is concerned, has not direct connection with such work in its own communlty, and the average layman does not think oi the Church as being directly connected with such activity. The soul and the body are se ciosely connectcd that the average laymnan is not very much concern- ed with the distinction, and Jesus was ahways ready ta beal cither or both. The Church bas spcclalized on spiritual dcvelopment. adniittedlY m.ost essential, but heft the body ta be pravided for as a sert of by-pro- duct, and aur laymen unfartunately have, by force of circumstances, been organized for these actîvities outsidc of the Churcb.

Annis, a prominent Oshawa Barrister, Secrctary 0f Osh- awa Rotary Club and son f fCouncil- lom A. W. Annis, Tyrone, was the guest speaker at the Rotary Club on Friday, being intraduced by May- or Ross Strike. Mr. Annis spoke on Uic desire oi the individual for irce- dUm o0f tbougbt andi action. For cen- turies the speaker pointed out, our forebears bati fougbt for the prin- ciples of freedom and securlty, and having achieved these tblngs t seemeti that wc were nat intcrcsted in the maintenance of thcm. Dic- tatorships, legislatian ai aIl kinds, aur relief methotis ail tended to regi- ment aur citizens inta a given stride ai activity. The average human be- ing might be said ta wisb two things ai life, peace andi posperity. These interpreteti man's freedom and sec- urlty. Formerly the individual was the pllar af cvery wartbwhile social or- der. Individual liberty, indcpend. ence 0f mmnd, participation lu diii- icult business 0f govemnlng, are the essential attributes of progresa, Un- less one progresses they can not have either f recdom or security. Wbcn a nation resta on its accom- plishinents ai the past, histamy bas proven a new civilization bas caten t up. Only by the frcedom 0f thought, of word, 0f expression and action bas the world continuedt t go forward with the centuries. Build- ing walls arounti us, thinking only ai our own nation and forgetting the rest ai the world was ta lase aur identity andi our f reedom. Mr. Annis pointeti aut that Uic disappearance of the atrong spirit- ually independent, liberty loving individual thie glorification of the servile massa-mentality, as exhibiteti in Russa, Italy and Germany were the greatest menace 0f aur time. Parallel with political frcedom, re- ligious f reedom in some European countries is vanishlng. A party us- urpa power, suppresses ail its advcr- saries and becomes the atate ta which ail must be servile. Men are not aliawed ta thlnk or do for thcmr- selves, and In this they make the f irst step towards the degradatian af their nation andi race. Mr. Annis urgeti that no chance be given organisations wha wouîd reg- iment the nation ta get ta power.
