There will be no paving work done in Grey county this year. This was the anal verdict of the county council when the motion of Reeve McCauley of Flesh- erton to rescind one of last January pe- titioning the minister of highways that no construction work be done this year, was decisively defeated. As a result the chances do not seem bright for the op- ening of the stone plant here this year. But the decision of the council is final, the highways department making it quite clear that there will be no paving in any county which does not want it. The council had a busy session this June, and authorized a probe into the cost of administration of criminal jus- tice on motion of Reeves Hunter and Philp of Egremont. Reeves White of St. Vincent, Holm of Normanby, and McDonald of Bentinck were appointed members of the committee, and “to take whatever action is necessary to get the required results.” Reeve Lembke _ of Sullivan and Deputy Hustle of the same township had a motion carried to petition the department of game and fisheries to construct a fish hatchery in Sullivan township near Chatsworth. Although it is usual to pass the equal- ized assessment figures without change except periodically when special com- mittees are appointed, there was some discussion. Reeve W. H. Hunter pro- tested that Egremont’s assessment was too high. Reeve M. J. Dillon stated he did not think the county’s policy of levying a rate in one year for expenses for the next year was good business. Reeve Mercer oi Markdaie inquired as to how the equalized assessment was arrived at and Reeve D. J. McDonald ot Bentinck. a member of the special committee which reported on the equalized assessment two years ago, ex- plained the manner in which the fig- The Council recommended to the Minister of Public Welfare that Mr. A.

At this session the council set the tax rate at nine mills, hall a mill less than last year. this reduction to come out of the county roads rate. This leaves the general rate at six mills and three mills for county road work. The discussion was an echo of the stormy session in June of 1930, when the equalized assessment was last re- Reeve W.

Mr. Bonnell has up to the pres- ent received no remuneration. The report of the finance committee, which was adapted without discussion. contained nothing of outstanding im- portance, consisting merely of recom- mendations that various minor ac- counts be paid, that the treasurer’s statement of adjustment of accounts between the city of Owen Sound and the county be received and printed in the minutes and «that the treasurer’s statement of licensed auctioneers, hawkers and pedlars, as at June 2, be received and filed. Reeve Robt. J. White of St. Vincent introduced a motion to refer the mat- ter of fidelity bonds for the treasurer and deputy treasurer to the finance committee; This motion was adopted. Reeve White explained that recent legislation had been passed by the Provincial Legislature this year re- garding the matter. The deputy treas- urer is not at present bonded and, in the event of the treasurer being unable to carry on his work, would not be able to take the work over, owing to the recent legislation. Following are the amounts; to be paid by the various municipalities to the county under the 9 mill rate: Ar- temesia, $17,010; Bentinck, $17,640; Collingwod, $20,250; Derby, $13,500; Egremont, $21,960; Euphrasia, $20,250; Glenelg, $11,700; Holland, $13,725; Kep- pel, $12,150; Normanby, $24,300; Osprey, $16,650; Proton, $19,800; Sarawak, $2,- 825; St. Vincent, $20,700; Sullivan, $21,- 600; Sydenham. $22,500; Durham. $4,- 860; Hanover, $9,900; Meaford, $9,000; Thornbury, $2,610; Chatsworth, $1,215; Dundalk, $2,565; Flesherton, $1,485; Markdale, $3,015; Neustadt, $1,530; Shallow Lake, $900. Total, $313,650. a better method of submitting accounts should be used, so that information re- garding the different items would be available in future years. A letter was also read from the dep- uty treasurer of the county, Mr. E. D. The county roads committee report consisted of an outline of the annual survey of the county roads system and a number of recommendations regard- ing work to be done this year. The re- port was slightly changed in commit- tee of the whole. The report of the county pr0perty committee recommended the payment of a number of accounts and also rec- cmmended that the necessary repairs be made to the floor of the laundry at the Children’s Shelter. The report was adopted without discussion. The committee recommended that a new 32-foot concrete bridge be built at Lot 18. Concession 1, Euphrasia, as the current has undermined the abutment of the old bridge and allowed it to go down. and that a new 10-foot concrete bridge be built at Lot 2, Concession 8 and 9. St. Vincent, as the old wooden one has broken in and does not serve the DW. The committee further recommended that Lougheed’s Corner, south of Clarksburg. be widened and banked, if the land which is necessary can be procured by the Superintendent for a reasonable amount, and conditions at a watercourse and culvert near the cor- ner be approved. A number of expense accounts of members of the committee were recom- mended paid. The Superintendent will have the cracks in the several urban centres filled so as to keep the water out and preserve the life of the pavements. The report also contained a full ac- count of the committee’s spring trip over the county roads. On April 26 the committee met in Owen Sound for the purpose of the spring tour of inspection and to make rccommendations for a program of work for the summer season. The com- mittee decided to have the pavement in Shallow Lake resurfaced as it was breaking in many places and to have the balance of the connecting link oil- On April 27 the committee went through Sullivan to the Bruce boun- dary line and south to the Welling- ton boundary, then by county road through Normanby, Egremont, Proton, and east through Osprey to smahamp- and back to Owen Sound.

DURHAM, ONTARIO, CANADA, THURSDAY, JUNE 30, 1932 Last week we chronicled the Furni- ture Co.’s first win of the s‘eason and in so doing made the remark that they seemed destined to occupy the cellar position for the season. Whether this had any effect on their recent showing Now Tied With Hockey Club tor Placer-Melon and Student. for Second. we cannot say but the fact remains that they have shown a reversal of form and fin. their next two games making it three in a row, and now in- stead of occupying the cellar they are tied with the Hockey Club for first place. Last Friday night they took on the Bachelors, who had also been having a winning streak, and defeated them 11-6. Then on Tuesday evening they tried conclusions with the Hockey Club and again were successful, this time by a score of 13-6. Tuesday’s game was a real thriller for the fair-sized crowd present. For five innings it was as close a contest as you could wish to see, but in the sixth the Factory put on a rally and away went the ball game. Starting off well the Furniture boys put three run- ners across the plate in the first in- ing and the Hockey Club came right back with two. The Woodworkers got one more in the second but were held scoreless in the third and fourth, while the Puck Chasers got two in the secâ€" ond and one each in the third and fourth. This put the score at 6-4 in favor of the latter and the Factory supporters seemed a little discouraged. But not for long. Dean, first man to bat in the fifth got a walk, and then after the next two men went out, Mat- thews hammered out a home run for his first and only hit of the game, and scored Dean ahead of him. This put new fight into the Factory players and for the balance of the game they held the Hockey boys scoreless, although they made a threat in the seventh, when Murdock reached third after connecting for a double, but the next three men going out in order left him there. FURNITURE C0. WINS THREE STRAIGHT GAMES The sixth was the Factory’s big in- nlng when they scored five runs and put the game in the bag. McClyment led off and reached first on Murdock’s bad throw. Goodchild walked and was put out at second when forced by Snell. Becker hit a home run to the school building and scored McClyment and Snell ahead of him. Dean singled, stole second and scored on Sparling’s double and Sparling scored when Glen- holme singled past second. Matthews reached second when “Hap” McGirr dropped his long fly and Glenholme was on third. Aljoe flied out to Bolger, and McClyment, up for the second time, went out Murdock to McIlraith. This made the score 11-6, and when Goodchild and Snell scored in the sev- enth, it merely extended the Factory’s margin, the final score being 13.6. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7â€"R.H.E.

Dam of Ay- ton. After the usual Opening exercises Mrs. W. J. Philp welcomed the dele- gates to Dromore and Miss Minnie Seim, Ayton, gave the reply. The president for her address took as her theme the words of our motto: “For Home and Country.” Reports from Sec’y-Treasurers, the vice presi- dents who are expected to assist the president in visiting the various branches and from the secretaries of standing committees filled in the re- mainder of the iorenoon session. Some of the activities of the various branches were remembering the sick and shut- ins in the community, giving assistance to hospitals and Children’s Shelters, re- lief work at home and abroad, placing towels, firstâ€"aid kits and stretchers in schools, decorating halls, building an entrance to park, weed-pulling, dona- tions to public libraries, etc. The nominating committee was ap- pointed to meet during the noon hour and brought in the following mport at the afternoon session: President, Mrs. V. Damm, Ayton; vice-president, Mrs. P. Krauter, Crawford; 2nd vice- president, Mrs. E. J. Thorne, Holstein; 3rd vice-president, Miss C. Fletcher, Aberdeen; 4th vice-president, Mrs. G. Mackey, Campbell’s Corners; secre- tary-treasurer, Mrs. J. S. McIlraith, Durham. Representative to County convention, Mrs. J. C. Cook, Zion; to Provincial convention, Mrs. V. Damm, Ayton; Auditors, Mrs. W. A. Glass, Mrs. A. C. Kinnee. The speakers of the day were Mrs. Fred Sutton, Hanover, and Mrs. Joan Hamilto'n Shearer, of Poole. The form- er gave a report of the Provincial con- vention and also of the work of the Federation. Mrs. Shearer spoke on the courses put on by the department. which are free for the asking; of put- ting music in the schools and assist- ing our young people to find the best in life. She was a great help during dicussion periods as was also Mrs. Wm. Dingwall. of Hopeville, past federal representative, who visited with us during the afternoon. District Annual Meeting Of South Grey W. I. The musical part of the program consisted of selections by the Dromore quartette and community singing. The receipts for the district were $218.40 and the expenditures $144.61. Receipts for the branches, $2732.46 and the expenditures were $2044.27. Last week from the murky waters of Teeswater river there emerged to be captured a mud turtle some 14 x 12 in- ches of t0p surface of shell. This deni- son of the fresh water was first caught in Teeswater in 1890 and has the name of Matthew Scott cut into the shell, also W. Box 69. Again in 1900 it came to the shore and was carved up with W. P. 1900 and the initials '1‘. E. It has been placed back in the water in 1932 again marked G. R. and T. McP., J. 11., H. E. and M. E. Neil Mattainl, 23-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Msttalnl, of Fergus, was instantly killed, and Clu- ford Carter and Nell Armstrong. both of Fergus, were seriously injured on The Dromore Branch provided ex- cellent meals and the delegates will not soon forget their efforts to make the convention a success. Fifty-two years have elapsed since its first appearance in 'reeswater wat- ers, and has been in the hands of three different set of captors. The Teeswater News wonders when it will show up again, how big it will be and how old it is now. The last to carve up the turtle were Mr. Gordon Russell and Mr. Thomas McPherson.

The deceased, whose maiden name was Mary Teadorf, was born in Water- 100 county about 67 years . ago, and came to this section in early girlhood with her parents, the late Mr. and Mrs. John Teadorf. who settled near Elmwood on the townline of Brant and Bentinck. She was married about 44 years ago to Mr. Henry Logie, and with the exception of eight years, they spent all their married life on their pres- ent farm, lot 28, concession 4, Brant.

A beautiful. warm. sunshlny afternoon made for the success of the occasion, also, and besldes the specta- tors, there was also in attendance up- wards of 75 Odd Fellows and members of the local Rebekah lodge. Headed by the band the societies left their rooms and proceeded by motor to the ceme- tery, where the procession was again formed and the service completed. “Blest Be the Tie That Binds." “The Church's One Foundation" and “Abide With Me” were the hymns chosen for this year’s singing, and led by the band, the company present joined heartily in the singing. The usual form of ser- vice was carried out, with prayer by the Chaplain. P. Ramage, and the Odd Fellows‘ address by Bro. B. Stoneouse. The decoration of the graves was per- formed by members of the Lady Re- bekah lodge, and as each basket of flowers was deposited, suitable refer- ence was made by an accompanying Odd Fellow. The address of the day was deliv- ered by the Rev. Walter Corrie Alnnck of the Queen Street United church, who spoke on “The Love that will not let us go.” In his remarks he referred to the Odd Fellows as a truly Christian organization and going hand in hand with the church in the dissemination of those things which tend to uplift humanity and for the good of the world. He referred also to the fact that while the world soon forgets those who have passed on the Odd Fellows never do and their annual decoration service was evidence of the fact that the memory of deceased members of the order was ever green. The service was in charge of Bro. Harry Falkingham, the Noble Grand of the local lodge. who at the close thanked the citizens for their co-op- eration in so fittingly remembering the members of the Order. and former deceased citizens.
