Scugog News (Continued) College and Miss Pat Aldred who is entering Toronto Tea- cher's College. Miss Fralick Proceedings Under the equalization, the assessment of Scott was in- creased from $2,522,975 to $4,452,295, or more than 76 percent. Reeve Oldham asked As- sessment Commissioner Gor- don Hepditch to review ap- peal proceedings. Mr. Hepditch advised coun- cil that under section 96 of the Assessment Act, any municipality could appeal its assessment within 20 days after the bylaw is passed by giving notice of appeal in writing to the county clerk. Commisisoner Hepditch said a hearing would look in- to the appeal, headed either by the county judge or a special three- man board ap- pointed by the Lieutenant- Governor in Council. Mr. Hepditch said when Picker- ing Township appealed its assessment some years ago. the cost of the action came to $32,000. Mr. Hepditch said the judge or board would have to be convinced that the equalization of assessment was not brought down in a proper manner. In a recent case, a ruling was made that determining value on sales of land was not a wrong| manner of determining as- sessment he said. Ajax Reeve Henry Polak suggested that in the event of an appeal against the equalized assessment, the other. 17 municipalities with- in Ontario County would have no choice but to appear in opposition to Scott Town-. ship at the hearing to pre- vent their assessment from being increased, in the event the board decided to reduce the Seem assessment. will be teaching in Sudbury.

They're us- ually one car accidents and usually serious. If we could go back in time and be pre- sent when and where these accidents happen we would be baffled as to their cause. Looking at them from the outside they appear to hap- pen without cause or reason. There is a reason however. Let us suppose were in- side one of these vehicles prior to the accident. Watch the driver's face. See how his eyelids begin to droop. Watch him shake his head trying to rid himself of fatigue. Now his head is nodding and his eyes are closing. - See the WHITBY--Warden Charles Healy of Ontario County told county council last Wednes- l| day that floods in the north- ern part of the county had destroyed an estimated 60 l| per cent of the crops. Warden Healy, a farmer in Mara Township, said Ontario Agriculture Minister William 'Wl| A. Stewart would make a per- sonal inspection of the flood situation Wednesday after- noon after flying into the Udney airport by helicopter. Mr. Healy said heavy June rains was the main cause of flood conditions, especially in Mara and Rama, wheré more than 10,000 acres of farmland are located. During an interview, War den Healy said northern far- mers would petition the pro- vincial government for a subsidy, and added the pre- sent situation would cause hardships on a number of farm families this winter. He said much of the winter feed for cattle was destroyed by the floods. County Crop Failure ~ o | Estimated 60 Per Cent] "Some farmers turned their cattle out into their outcrops", said Mr. Healy, "and we are asking for as- sistance. It is impossible to estimate the total damage at this time but the oat, barley and corn crops were prac- tically wiped out." The county warden said wheat was the only crop which had not suffered great- ly in the northern townships, and some farmers had taken their boats out into the field while rains washed out cul- verts. Healy said former county warden Patrick Duffy had watched his cows-swimming home across the field after one heavy rain. He said the land was only now beginning to dry out. curve ahead. Hear the hor- rendous crash. See the dri- ver's face. See how his éyes are closed. REPORT over to the side of the road and have a nap. When you awaken get out and breath the cool night air. Don't try to shake it off while still behind the wheel. Driving a car is not something you can do in your sleep, it requires a wide awake mind.
