The Ontario Provincial Gov- ernment will pay 50 per cent. of the amount, while the Oshawa Suburban 'Roads Commission will contribute a share, Last year the first estimate fo county roads amounted to $115,000 of which $15,000 was construction and $70,000 maintenance and repairs. "However, we required an additional $30,000 last November, which boosted the figure to $145,000", stated County Engineer D. J. Kean. "Some of the post-war projects outlined in 1943 will be included in this year's estimate. A detailed report of the 1946 operations will be made in February." } Council authorized the payment of travelling expenses and daily pay to attending members. Printing and ad- vertising expenditures were also auth- orized. . Urges Early Action "I think the newly appointed assess- 'ment committee should act without de- lay", said Reeve Thomas Harding of Reach Township. He pointed out that although the new assessor had been in office for a year, little had been ac- complished, laying the blame at coun- cil"s door for not taking action, 'If we don't start early we'll be leav- ing it all to him, which may not be fair to him at all. As he is a new man, the judgment of the committee should be of considerable help"', he said, proposing that the committee sit before council gathered again in Feb- ruary.- "The committee has no authority. We are merely to assist the assessor with our advice", stated Reeve Fred Clayton. "I suggest that we wait un- til the assessor's report is ready be- fore meeting." At the suggestion of Warden Rae, it was decided that Reeve Clayton eon- tact the assessor prior to the February meeting and discuss what steps were to be taken, : Upon the motion of Reeve Blanch- ard of Cannington, council adjourned till February bth, at 2 p.m.' Re Bowmanville Boy's Training Sthool Following a lengthy discussion the eotmty counefl Thurdday morning re- commended that the Legislation and Memorials committee bring in a reso- lution dealing with the Ontario Boys' Training Schoel at Bowmanville, The council recommended that the committee bring in three recommenda- tions in the resolution; that any boys, mentally deficient, with a lower than average school marks or boys with a criminal background, be not sent out into the rural districts of the county. The resolution was advanced as a result of a fatal shooting in the Ux- bridge area in which a Bowmanville Training School boy is involved. "This practice has been going on for years. It is a question that should be up to the medical officer to determine. Some of these boys are mentally sick. I am very niuch opposed to somre of these boys being let out," declared Andrew Muir, Deputy Reeve, Whitby Town. It was pointed out that this one boy involved in the fatal shooting had been placed in a home where there were al- ready seven children. Councillors were of the opinion that care should be exercised in placing these boys in proper homes. "It is the duty of the Training School to see to it that these boys are placed in good homes," declared Fred Clayton (Thorah). . "The Bowmanville Training School was set up for that very puropse, to make good citizens out of thesa boys. If they are in the right kind of a home they will be all right. What are you going to do with these boys? You can't keep them cooped up for the rest of their lives," he added. Cook W. Ashenhurst (Reach) de- clared, "These boys, committed to that school, are there for erimes committed. We cannot have them being placed out when some of them contaminate our own children." "What are you going to do with them? Keep then in jail?" queried Councillor Clayton. "That is up to the authorities. I would suggest that the government adopt some other means to look after these boys", stated Councillor Ashen- hurst. 4 a few are % [should not condemn them all", he de- & | clared. tricts," declared Reeve Wililam Man- ning (Whitby Twp.) "You can't confine thesé boys for life to these homes," declared Council- lor Clayton, "I think we should suggest to the government," declared Harper New- man (Mara), "We have these bad boys and we have to take care of them, They must be placed under supervision or they will be a menace to this coun- try," he added. - "There hasn't been a desirable one amongst them al], at the particular school in our district to which I am referring," declared Councillor Ashen- hurst. lk Reeve W. Hawtin (Beaverton), de- clared, "There were two bad features in this particular case. Firstly, the boy was mentally deficient, and secondly, he was sent to a home where there were already seven children." W. H. Westney, Dep. Reeve, (Pick- ering) declared, 'These mental cases should definitely not be brought into the rural districts." "I think most all of these boys need supervision," stated Councillor Alex. Thompson (Brock). Simply because mentally deficient, we -- STEPHENS--FALCONER In St. Matthew's Presbyterian 8 | church, Saturday evening, January 19, £9 the marriage was solemnized by Rev. #2 J. G.

"Phe Presbyterial was pleased to accept the invitation of Wick to have the Semi-Annual meeting there in June. The guest speaker, Miss Laura Pel- ton, General Secretary, in a very stir- ring and enlightening message stated we have come to a very critical mo- ment in history--we can have a great deal to say whether we are to have peace or chaos, The people who wish to have a better world have been given a chance to do so. At the moment we have an open door in China, but we do not know how long that attitude will last. It is expensive to send mission- aries to China because of the inflation there. There is a movement to oust all followers of missionaries in India. They want to be free of all shackles. The Church has grown from four mil- ilon to eight millions in four years and if our auxiliaries are alive, we will discuss these conditions in our meet- ings.

The William Ash home was the scene of much anxiety and excitement on Saturday morning when it was dis- covered that fire had broken out around the chimney hole in the kitchen ceiling. Brooklin fire outfit was called but not being prepared. for a fire, the men were unable to bring it up, The neighbours came to assist and al- though the fire had made some pro- gress it was eventually extinguished, The damage was estimated by the in- surance company to be $100. There really is very little to tell you about this week. It was such a cold] and stormy week-end that few, if any, visitors came in to town. One's own home and fireside were to be preferred to taking -a-chance on a trip some- where, and probably never reaching one's. destination without being held up by'car trouble or bad roads. .
