That Grand Jury s Report" A lengthy report was present- ed by the committee appointed to consider the presentment of the grand jury in- January, 1917 Among the thingsrecominended by the committeewere: That the Clerk write to ascertain what steps should be taken todispose of a number of obsolete chattel mortgages and court exhibits which occupy a large amount of space in the Surrogate Clerk s office and are ap_p`arently of no value. Also that wooden shelv_ ing be replaced by metal fyling devices. A lounty the work of the Organiza; tion gof`Resources Committee, ad- `dressed the Councilhriey; Very good work has been done towards t.he 1917 harvest, but plans are now being laid for 1918,` the needs of which promise to be`-as great as are felt this year. Be- yond that again the Committee is looking towards securing an or- ganization that will assist in solving` the problems of con- ditions after _the war. Forthis purpose it is desired to have live representatives in every town and village and also in the townships committees of farmers w_ho:would be able to speak for the needs of the farmers in an organized way. Dr. Allen bespoke` the assistance of the county councillors in or- ganizing their municipalities. Added to Committees Conn.

They recom- mended that a small committee interview the Attorney General with a-eview to obtaining a better understanding with regard to the commitment of lunatics to -the gaol, the employment of pri- son labor on the County proper- ty 'and the County s responsibil.. ity generally.

The hospital trainings s"cho'ol., is doing a very important `work in maintaining the standard ofthe institution, a service` which the Board grate- fully recognized. The `examina- tion results showed thegraduate-s all `to he so good that he wished the Board had a medal `for every one of them. At the conclusion of his address, Mr. Porritt_pre- sented the diplomas. . ' ]n his opening address at the June Session of the County Coun- cil which convened Monday af- ternoon, His Worship Warden Horrell spoke of the great loss sustained in the death ofZReeve Mc_Nabb.of Orillia and referred to his personal worth and the del- ity with which he had discharged the duties devolving upon him as councillor. An address to'the graduating! class was given by Mrs. Gallie, President of the Women s Auxi1.. iary, who also presented the class pins. On behalf of the Auxiliary, boquets were presented to the class and Miss McLennan by six pretty little ower girls, Muriel Felt, Mary Johnston, Mary Wall- win, Constance Hinds, Margaret Murchison and Ruth Sarjeant. Mrs. Gallic said that there is no calling more congenial or more natural for woman than that of nursing and `it is not surprising that so many have entered the profession. The world wants all the trained nurses for its suffer- ers on `beds of sickness that it can a`or.l and one ofthe factors that is helping to cement the ties that bind nations together is the work of the nursing sisters whose'gen- tle, unselsh and untiring minis- try during the present and other wars has caused men to realize their common hrotherhood. One graduate of this hospital, Miss Ethel Aldous, has been chosen to go overseas and is now doing her hit, to the honourof those with whom she recei\'erl her training. Life is made up not only of great sacrices or duties, but of little things in which smiles and kind- ness and small obligations given habitually, win and preserve the heart and secure comfort. There are three outstanding character- istics with which a nursetmust needs be equipped: Patience, ten- derness and faithfulness. Lack- ing these, a nurse cannot hope to win the esteem and success , to which she has every right to aspire. Then, too, in order to do efficient work the nurse must al- ways take good care of her own health, and if to the power she possesses through her knowledge of nursing to bring physical ease and comfort she add that of spir_ it11al uplift, her work indeed will he a very great one. The nal word for the nurse s calling is practically the same as for other callings and that is, `Make Good. On behalf of the Board, Miss` McLennan presented to-Miss` Mac- Gregor the gold medal, donated by the Board to the graduating nurse. having taken the highest. standing. ` "17- A `r ___.:.. ...).J . n ~ ~ f\l`] .l.L,.l At the regular meeting of the Town Council on Monday night a" bylaw was passed imposing a license fee of $25 on any auto- mobile used for carrying persons for hire and $10 for each addi_ tional car owned by same licen- see.

Mr Wardell was a man` of large experience and` would prove a va1uab1e aequisi-. tion to the Council. He again pointed out the need of economy, owing to the high tax rate made necessary by the patriotic grants. To keep down the expenditure no easy matter for most -of the money is spent` . on roads and we all feel that in- stead of cutting down road ap- propriations these should he in-` creased if the roads are to be kept in decent repair. Recently he and the chairmen of Finance -and Roads & Bridges had met the Deputy Minister of Public V\ orks at Alliston. In the interview, Mr. McLean assured them that after the war the Govt. purposes mak- ing heavy expenditures on the roads, employing men equal to .five battalions on Ontario roads. Until the Govt. is in a position to take up thiswork, the counties will have to do the best they can to keep the roads in shape.
