Inspected The Roads The Grey County Road Committee last week made their annual inspec- tion of the roads and bridges through- out the county and found the roads to be in ver^ fair condition. This year the Committee have placed in operation two heavy road maintainers and these are already proving their usefullness. ''A number of road sup- erintendents were released thie year and the estimated saving thereby will be ?5,000. The Department of High- ways has approved the estimated ex penditure of $50,000 on county road work. Last year the county rate was 9 mills on the dollar, a reduction ot half a mill from the 1932 figure. Of the 9 mills, 6 went for general purposes. I'i for county roads and 1% for provincial highways. A mill on the dollar, under the present as- sessment of $38,850,000, will produce §35,000. It is expected that the County Rate will be reduced consider- ably this year, the reduction to take in both the road and educational ex- penditures.

Patrons Build Factory Dissatisfied with the return which their nearby markets were returning them for their milk, descendants of the Scottish pioneers of East Nis- souri township in Oxford county, On- tario, ij«:ided to build a real co-oper- ative cheese factory for themselves. This they did in the truest sense of the word, and the result is the Home- stead Co-operative Cheese factory, opened not long ago. It was built with the patrons' own hands at a big saving and in splendid manner. A number of old-fashioned "bees" help- ed out the personal labor that was being carried on by the directors and others from among the patrons. The factory has the cellar curing system, and is modern in every way, and generous in its size. It \vill have an output of about 150 tons per season. Try a "Small Advt."

Osprey & Artemesia Co-operative Co., Ltd. FLESHERTON A call for economy in secondary school education was the outcome of the meeting in Markdale last week between the County Council education committee and representatives ot High and Continuation Schools tor Grey County. Representing Flesherton at the meeting were Trustees Thos. Henry and Fred Pedlar, the former being spokesman. The purpose of the meet- ing was to secure a uniform reduction in the salaries paid to teachers, but it was quite apparent that no such result could be obtained, so a general resolution, suggesting economy, was passed. Mr. Henry stated that it was diffi- cult to get an efficient principal, and it was necessary to pay a good salary to hold him. But, on the other hand, fanners don't get any salary, and are actually paying for the privilege of working. Hence the need for econ- omy. He did not know that the sire of the salary determines the quality. He thought there should be more equality in the salaries paid in var- ious schools, and found that the Teachers' Federation' was an ob- stacle. Chairman IW. I. Keld reported the county gi-ants for High and Contin- uation Schools to be increasing in an alarming manner, giving the follow- ing figures: Cont. H. S. 1910 I 4,403 $ 9,211 1922 5,872 26,944 1925 9,905 40,264 1928 10,062 52,958 1931 13,958 55,047 1932 13,886 54,608 There was a wide variation in sal- aries, the average of some schools being as follows: Meaford $2,385 for 7 Hanover 2,114 for 7 Dundalk 1775 for 4 Thornbury 1,612 for 4 Flesherton 1,975 for 4 Warden McDonald stated the 6 mills county levy, 1.25 to 1.5 mills went for secondary education. The county objects to rebates from teachers to civic relief funds. Salar- ies should be reduced. Owen Sound teachers were reported as returning $10,000 of their unreduced salaries to civic relief funds. County Clerk Rutherford pointed out that the reduction in Provincial grants would leave a larger balance to be charged to "Maintenance Ac- count," which would increase the demands upon the County and "County pupils" attending the secondary schools. Chairman J. T. Brodie suggested the school grants being made at January and June, instead of all at January, and the municipalities pay their county rate in two instalments, to make it easier for the ratepayers. Opinion was that this could possibly be done. "Memories" By A. S.

Although held back in some dis fricts by wet, cold weather, spring farm work has becomre' general throughout Ontrrio.

Killed In Runaway Minto Menary, 34 years old, a far- mer residing with his mother on thn farm in the llth concession of Euph- rasia, near Temple Hill^ and well knowi. in this district, was accident- ally killed sometime during Saturday nijjnt when his horse ran away, hi." dead body being found early on Sun- day morning lying at the gate lead- ing to the barn, an examination show- ing that his skull was fractured. Mr. Menary hati driven to Mark- dale on Saturday evening and had spent the evening there, but what time he started for home could not be definitely ascertained, 'altliough it has been intimated it was quite late. He drove a spirited horse, and was alone. Just what occurred on the way home is unknown, but it is the opinion of those who investi- sjated that the horse must have run at least a mile, and on making a quick turn into the farm gate the man was thrown out, his head strik- ing a huge stone, and crushing the skull. Deceased had resided in the sec- tion where he lived all his lifetime, and was held in high esteem by all who knew him. He was a success- ful farmer, having taken full charge of the farm following the death of his father about two years ago. He is survived by his mother, on the farm and three sisters, Mrs. George Irwin, on the 9th of Euphrasia, near Riverdale^ Mrs. Nelson, Corbetton, and Mrs. Harry M'iddleton, Toronto. The funeral was held on Tuesday afternoon with a service at Temple Hill church, interment following in the cemetery there. Local and Personal Mounties Use Cars Think of a sciarlet-coated Royal Canadian Mounted Police and you probably think also of their wiry well-trained sadlle horses. The public will find it hard to realize that the famous mounties, according to the latest figures, have far more automo- biles than they have horses. For the 2,500 officers and men, in fact, there are 359 automobiles and only 256 horses. Other transportation units include 27 motorcycles, 13 trucks, 101 boats and 445 sled dogs, many of the provinces have scrapped their provincial police departments in favor of protection by the R.C.M. P., and that has lengthened the beats of the policemen beyond the powers of the horse. Dogs are still much in demand for work in the Arctic, although ail-planes in some places now make journeys that used to take the dog's days and even weeks. Early [n spring is the best time to tr.-»nsplant most kinds of trees and shrubs, evergi'eens included. Ever- greens may be transplanted in sum- mer but greater precautions must be taken to do it successfully. Read the Small Advertisements Flesherton's half holiday starts this Thursday.

This year the boys \yere skating on Thursday afternoon, .A^pril 27th, in the local rink, the ice being hard and in very fair condition. Skating con- tinued for an hour and a half. It is a record in Flesherton to have skating at such a late date. So far this spring we have not heard of any swimming being done as the water has been very cold. A rather good story is told by the Kincardine News. The chairman of a public utilities commission was making a spirited address, "Think ol the good the commission has done," he cried. "If I were permitted a pun, I should say 'Honor the Light Brigade'," whereupon a customer shouted, "Oh, what a charge they made." The above special off Paint, Chi-namel, \'a to B. H. English Paints.
