Grey County To Share Cost of Snow Plowing At the recent session of Grey Bounty Council the question of snow plowing county roads was under dis- cussion several time'. At the closing sitting on Saturda- morning the County Council put their seal of ap- proval on a motion that snow plow- ing be undertaken in 1941-42 to the extent of paying 25% of the cost of plowing in those communities de- sirous of having the work done and willing to raise 25% of te cost themselves. The 50% balance is sub- sidized by the provincial government. Snow ploughing, long a bone of contention within the county, has been the subject of repeated argu- ments in County Council. During the past two "y ears > snow clubs have been organized throughout the country, in districts desiring of a winter outlet. The<e have raised one half of the cost of the work by sub- scription, the other half paid by government subsidy. On Saturday, the motion that the count" assume a quarter of this cost was set forward bv Reeve Morton Sayers of Osprey Township, and after some discussion, was approved. The ma.ioritv of com- munities were in favour of the idea although some, representing com- munities where winter-bound roads present no particular hardship, were against the county making arv com- mitment. Snow clubs or municipalities de- sirous of havine this work done and willing to abide by the agreement of raising 25% of the cost of the work, will be required to have estimates of the amount of road to be kept onen in the Bounty enginoei 's office before th" June session of Council. It will be understood in each case, that once the work is started, the road must be kent open throughout the winter and the cost of the work will be comput- ed bv the Road Committee of the council who will be in full charge. Special allowance for this winter work will be made when council strikes the mill rate t.t the June ses- sion. ACHIEVEMENT OF OSPREY RED CROSS The Osprey Township Branch of the Red Cross, which includes Pad- jeros, Rob Roy, The Community Club, Maxwell Institute, Sinn-Hamp- ton and Feversham, have made and sent to headquarters at Toronto during the first four months of the year, -the following articles: Badjeros 10 Scarves, 4 helmets, 9 sweaters, 2 pairs of wristlets, 9 pairs of mitts, 8 pairs seamen's stockings, 22 pairs of socks, % doz. handkerchiefs, 25 pairs pyjamas, 1 piece of underwe-.r. 1 refugee coat, 10 refugee quilts. Rob Roy 15 Pairs of socks. Community CTuB 3 Refugee quilts and 2 night gowns. Maxwell Institute 2 Scarves, 3 sweaters, 6 helmets, 4 pairs seamen's stockings, 6 pairs of socks, 2 pairs of wristlets, % doz. handkerchiefs, 2 refugee quilts. Singhampton 2 Sweaters 4 pairs of gloves, 2 pairs mitts, 4 scarves, 17 doz. handkerchiefs, 9 pairs of py- jamas, 28 pairs of socks, 3 refugee quilts. Feversham 9 Scarves, 6 Pairs seamen's socks, 14 pairs mitts. 10 helmets, 4 sweaters, 28 nairs socks, 2 pairs of gloves, 5 nairs wristlet*. 28 pairs of pyjamas 4^ doz. hand- kerchiefs. 9 refugee quilts. Feversham can boast of one man who is an active knitter, Mr. Georpr-e Ottewell. The consideratio' of the needs of the armed forces and the British civ- ilians to which our supplies are sent, necessitates the making 1 of articles rpally needed and avoids wasting both effort and branch funds. Consequent- ly, headouarters has decided to assign quotas from time to time. At present our branch is working on the following quotas: Seamen's Comforts 5 Ribbed helmets, 5 pairs seamen's lonjr stock- ings, 5 turtle-ne^k sweaters, 5 pairs of mitts, 5 scarves, are to be sent each month during May and June. Army 10 Pairs of khaki two- way mitts, 6 sleeveless sweaters, 16 pairs of grey or khaki socks, are to be sent each month during May and June. Hospital Supplies 10 Pairs of pyjamas. In addition, refugee quilts are urg- ently needed. In Memo-lam GRAHAM In loving memory of Franklin Grab HIM, who passed away May 7th. 1939. Ever remembered by his Mother and Sister, Ruth.

There are no bars to travel in Ontario or Canada and the American tourist can be assured of splendid time when! he comes with no trouble in either coming into the country or returning to their home land. The Council is appointing a committee to work with the business men in advancing the cause. American tourist business, means a great thing for Can- ada, and while the Federal and Provincial Governments are spending large sums of money advertising Canad in the United States, their appeal can only be a general one. It remains for smaller centres to make a personal appeal and have the old boy or girl, resident in the United States, come back to their native homes at a certain date and visit their old homes and familar surroundings. Mr. A. H. Wilford of Toronto, the Provincial organizer, interviewed the Council Tuesday evening and la!3 the proposition before them, and they were enthusiastic over .the possibilities of the scheme. Entires For Farm And \ Home Improvement Contest Number 26 The third Farm and Home Im- provement Contest to be sponsored by Wareham Junior Institute and Junior Farmers, in co-operation with "Farmers' Magazine," is now well under way. The committee in charts comprises Mrs. W. E. Inkster Cliitford Allen and Bruce Mc- Cutcheon, the last named also being secretary. With 26 contestants this year, the judging is definitely an arduous task. Nevertheless, Mrs. H. M. Bailey of Dundalk, Rev. Keith Mc- Millan of Flesherton ard Mr. Geo. W. Ross of Maxwell, Taciously con- sented to act in the capacity of judges. It had been intended that the preliminary judging should have been done the last of November, but adverse weather conditions rend- ered this impossible, and the judges made their tour of inspection of the homes entered on April 24th and April 29th, However, improvements made since entries were tiled in No- vember are bein-- credited !n the contest. The entrants are: Clifford Allen, David Armour, Henry Arnott, Fred Barber, Geoge Barnet, Lome Champ, Thomas Blakey, Oliver Cornell, Frank Eagles, Howard Gordon, Daw- son Gordon, Howard Grummett, John Hargrave, Robert Hill, Wilfred Inkster, William Jtohnson, John Lougheed, Wm. McCutcheon, Wm. McMillan, Wilfred McNally, Cecil Meldrum, Wm. Russell, Ross Stev- ens, Fred Weatherall, Arthur Wil- son, and Geo. Young. It is interesting to note that 16 of the entries are within two and a half miles of Wareham corner, an area in which there .-ere but six entries least year. This would seem fair indication of the popularity of these Home Improvement Contests. Indeed, there are eight contestants within one and three-quarter miles on the Third Line, Osprey, only two of whom ever entered the contest before. It is realized that the shortage of help on the farm may prevent the carryin,' out of many much-desired improvements, yet it is hoped that this may not prove too serious a handicap, but that very definite im- provements may be accomplished. These need not be costly, in terms of money, as the planting of trees, shrubs and flowers, the cleaning up of rubbish or weed-infested corners, improving of lanes, gateways or buildings, the whitewashing of stables, or the application of naint <. /en around windows and doors, can result in a very marked change of appearance. True, all cannot win the first prize, nor even tenth, yet if the contest results in each of these rural homes becoming a greater source of pride and satisfaction, not only to the members of the family, but te the community at large, it will sure 'y be an effort well wortk while. ROCK MILLS SAW MILL RUNS TO CAPACITY (By Rock Mills Correspondent) The saw mill here owned by the Durham Furniture Company, com- menced work on Monday, May 5th. arjd is in full operation. There is a large stock of logs in the yard* around *-* million feet, and atfll more is to De .. - > tn the- mill when the roads are in conm. m^ mtfl will operate continuously lor in. least the next six months.

Scarcely a week passes with- out its "observance" an anniversary of something or other. In the great list, however, none has a more uni- versal appeal than "MOTHER'S DAY.'* which falls on Sunday next. It is not too much that for one day in the whole year the thoughts of mankind should turn towards that loving personality who taught the lisping tongue to speak and build so many castles in the air for those who are carrying to-day the burdens of life for themselves. A special program betfitting the occasion, will be followed in all our churches on Surday. Special remem- brance will be given to all mothers, and the choirs will render many of the old songs that are partiaularly suitable to the day. We invite you to attend the services of this day, either in honour of or in memory of your mother. Mrs. Thos. Wauchope, Lioyd, Gor- don and Doris, wish to express their appreciation for the many kind words of sympathy expressed in the pass- ing of their daughter and sister, Mrs. John Neilson.
