The business of the counties was carried throughout the week ii1 an orderly and business-like manner. The Warden, aise Com- inittee Chairmen, called meetings te order at the time set for said ,meeting. Although tbere was considerable. discussion and de- bate, it was bath constructive and educational, allowing the Coun. cil ta deal with a great amaunt of business in the shortest pas- sible time. Council by resalutions ta Pro- vincial and Federal Gavernments bas received benefits for mun- icipalities througb grants and subsidies. Two of the many resolutions sent ta the Provincial Gavernment request gavernment ta pay 100 percent casts for indigent patients in bospitals; and request ta in- crease grants ta municipalities or assume 80 percent of cost of road and bridge maintenance or con- struction. A resolutian was adopted in- creasing the Fox bounty fromn $2 ta $3 per fox. Municipal clerks will be autharized ta accept pelts. mark and pay for sanie. A bil will be submitted ta the Counties Clerk each montb for payments on fox bounty. Although a graat deal cf critic- !Sm was raised at November ses- sion re Counties Health Unit, after the Doctors reporting on the find- ing of the Committee set up for the purpose of investigating the neeessity of having three doctors, two sanitary inspectors and ten nurses, council unanimously sup- ported the Health Unit activities.

Farm Radio Forums Settle Question of Ontario headquertens of Farm Radio Forums bas just releàsed its press bulletin an the January discussions of local forums on Old Age Pensions& Itshows that over 90 percent agnee with the trend of political parties seeking votes by pnomising more for nathing. In quating the above release we suggest th-at reeders then turn ta aur editonial column and read the expenience of the State of Oregon on this question. Then the Forums rnight re-apen, the suýbject and consider its econornics: The re- leese states: "It is obvious where rural peo- pie stand regarding social secunity meesures after lest Monday even- ing's discussion. Well aven 90 per cent were in favaur of the general trend expressed in the platforms of the vaniaus national political parties on the bnoadcast. Among the few who disegreed, feeling that the 'trend was in the wnong direction, was 8th Con. Greenock in Bruce. Quote: "In the beginning of man, aur Lord said, 'Thou shaît ern thy bread by the sweet of thy brow" not through pensions." It wes feit that individuel initia- tive wouid be discouraged, and In some cases dishonesty. With specific reference ta Old Age Pensions, well aven 94 per cent of the forums felt that et 65 years af age every persan should receive the equivalent of frorn $40.00 ta $50.00 per montb, accord- ing ta the purchasing power of the dollar, without a meens. test. This would meen that those wha had sufficient incarne from ather sources would pay back into the generai coffers in the reguien way. Also it wouid give persans e sense of independence without feeling they dependcd on chanity. Many forum people wondcred where the maney would corne from if sucb a plan became effect- ive, and aven ane-haif suggested it should be derived partly from the Dominion Gavernrnent and partly from the people themselves, on a cantnibuton, basis. This A'ouid put everyane on an equal basis and would give them a feel- ng of self-support. Initiative A'ould thug be encauraged. Lyn- dle in Norfolk says: "The trend is a good thing pravided ail citi- 7ens realize, or are taught to rea- lize. first that ail the rights and privileges we enjoy, an wish ta enjoy, as citizens of this cou ntry have a correspanding responsibil- ty and duty on aur part."

Wîth thermometers dancing between 50 and 60 degrees the beck concess- ion snowfall melted eway into district 'reeks to start fioods which moved ice cakes along with the swelling current and ice jams accurred at mnany bridges. Farmers who bad ta delay sow- ing fa.il wheat an account of a dry fali, are now worried that the weatber will change and freeze waterlogged fields before another covering of snow arrives. Ice formations are usually fatal ta winter wheat crops. With only about two months left ini which ta expect snow, farmers fear lack of moisture wben spring crops are sown. The situation bas relieved town finances for little snow bas had ta be ren- aved from streets.

The Ontario Federation is the affiliating centre of ail the County Federations in the province and the various farm organizations operating as commodity groups. By far the larger share of the cen- tral fund cornes fram the fees paid into the caunty units, *a percent- age of which goes ta maintain the provincial setup. Last year's budget was set down as foiiows: Total receipts: $50,336.94 cantri- buted fromn County Fed. fees; $31, 505,30; Affiliated groups: $10,781. 64: United Coops: $5,000.
