( To f of the new committees is that the striking ing the gavel for the third consecutive year, begins his service with a double honor, For he not only received an acclamation for a third term, but he is the first mayor of the City of Oshawa to be so honored. The only possible objection to the line-up committee and the Council as a whole had. little more to do with it at the inaugural: " meeting than to express approval-----some. thing after the order of the old darkey and "his framed Grace before Meat to which, sav- "ning of his meals by saying, "Lawd, dem's | ing time, he always referred at the begin my sentiments," However, there is 'nothing particularly wrong shout a caucus when it is frank in declaring both its existence and purpose, ~The names suggested met with approval and * will, on the whole, meet with civic. endorsa tion, Ald, Stacey's appointment. as chairman of the Works Board recognized not only his ex perience and ability, but the fact that 1928 is going to be an even greater building year in Oshawa than 1927, which also means more and knottier problems to confront and solve, : Ald, Swanson's appointment as chairman of the Finance Committee could be objected "to on no other grounds than the fact that there are other aldermen qualified for the post who have had more service on the City .

She will see the world given wings, Even by the time she is a8 young lady life will be as completely adjusted to flying as this decade is to motor transporta- tion, On her fortieth birthday she will be « looking back on Canad's Centennial Year, That year may be marked by a great World's Fair at Toronto and Jean will have seen, per- haps, the last march past of Canadian vet- erans of 1914-18, To meet this future of hers--its dangers as well as its opportunities--Baby Jean goes forth with gifts such as no Fairy God- mother of story could give, She is a British citizen; Canada is homeland; and last, snd for once an honored least, Oshawa is her na- tive city, GOOD WORK~KEEP IT UP Arrest of two alleged burglars by the City police force Sundsy morning was 8 very creditable performance, and The Osh- awa Daily Times offers congratulations to Chief Friend snd Constables Flintoff and Me- Til: is much like a wife, you unless you ------ INCONSISTENT (Quebec Chronicle-Telegraph) World peace is a lovely ideal, but one musie firm reports it sold 70 saxophones as Christmas gifts, THE ALL IN ALL (The Passing Show) He: "Is there anything in life but love?"

The grass greens a bit in mid-March and the mead- ow lark comes back to us with its spring carol at about the same time. The beginning of the new year we think appropriately might be the beginning of things vernal, but even as the calendar now has it the greening and the growing are starting somewhere in some Istitude on this old earth of ours. While January is winter's own it Is no time to stick by the fire- side. It has its beauties no less than June, There is 2 rugged beauty as well as a refined beauty snd ruggedness certainly has its manful appeal.

Why? Because not only is their fat removed, but muscle tissue is de- veloped, and with it, increased strength of heart and lungs. Now, when you compare what cutting down on food and taking regular exercise will do for that body of yours, to what a prolong- ed fast will do, I believe you will see the wisdom of attaining strength in this common manner, As mentioned before short fasts occasionally are good for the ma- jority of folks, but prolonged fasts are dangerous, sense Crisp Comment If breviy is the soul of wit flap- pers should be star humorists--Ot- tawa Journal, Some boys go to college to study anatomy and some go to a fashion- oble dance--Brandon Sun, Cod liver ofl Is the best substi- tute for sunshine but you can't make bathing beauties take it.-- Brandon, Sun.
