EE MUNICIPALITIES ;- SHOULD , HEED WARNING During the last few years hydro power has worked a revelation in this providce, both in the homes and in| the factopies. Its 'populgyity is ever Increasing, and although there are at - --_-- was a lad of fourteen or fifteen years. The voyage was made in safety, but the diary of the trip, afterwards pub- lished, made very clear the dangerous and foolhardy character of the under- taking. The boy, sturdy and willing, like all healthy boys, was compelled to take the many hours sleep which nature demands of youth, This threw on the man the burden of keeping watch, and there were times, many times, when tired nature compelled him to leave the tiller and lie down to sleep, letting the little craft drift as she would at the mercy of the wind and waves and exposed to the dangers of passing craft. The thirty odd days, experience of these navigators and the experience of others who have tempted the ocean passage in small craft stamps the proposal of a British peer and a British editor to a single- handed race as an even more fool- hardy project." The voyage can only be made at a great risk and a terrible sacrifice of energy. It can accom- plish nothing practical. The ability of a small boat to stand the strain is times provoking and costly shortages indications point to the demand for | electric energy growing heavier. : So rapidly has the available power in Central Ontario been taken up that the Hydro Commission is having ready been sufficiently clearly demon- jut the movement of the grain crop ditficulty keeping up with 'the de- mand. The shortage of the last weck, due to some extent to the latest de- velopment at Ranney's Falls not be- ing hooked up, is an evidence of this, The Ranney's plant, however, now that an agreement has heen reached with the Department of Rail- ways and Canals, is expected to be contributing its share of "white fuel" within a very short time. Even now the Hydro Commission is apply- ing for the lease of Dam No. 9 on the Trent River. The plant to be established there, it is expected, will be available in about ten months. In an interview this week Sir Adam Beck stated that Dam No. 9 is the last unharnessed power on the Trent System to be developed. After that supply is also taken, what? That is the question which confronts every municipality on the Central Ontario Hydro System, and every individual user. Sir Adam, basing his estimate on past performance, states that all the power it will be possible to generate on the Trent system will be in use! within a year or two. The St. Law- rence, he points out, is the available supply that will meet the demands. As yet nothing has been done to tap this river for Ontario users. Even it work were commenced on plants and dams on the St. Lawrence at once it iis unlikely that this power would be available by the time the present supply is used up. This is a situation which demands the united action of every municipal- ity in the Central system. It de- mands too the attention of the Pro- vincial and Dominion Governments. Should the industrial development of this part of the province be delayed & year or two hence by lack of power it will be a reproach to our legisla- tors at both Toronto and Ottawa. A POOR ADVERTISEME Existing conditions in the lavra- tories in Lakeview and Alexandra Parks, but more particularly in the former, laid bare in the news article in Tuesday's Reformer, are so nau- seating that the facts there related --and the full story was not told-- ought to rouse the Park Board to take action at once to remedy this upsanitary state of affairs. Members of the Park Board are busy men, and The Reformer doubts if all the members have been aware of the situation. Procrastination has resulted in the much-discussed lavatories at Alexandra Park being Do nearer provided now than they, have been in the past. Alexandra Park is not a new place. It has been established a number of years, and the public have a right to expect bet- ter facilities there than at Lakeview Park. Although a committee was appointed many weeks ago by the Park Board to confer with the Agri- cultural Fair Board, no report is yet available. It is a case of another year having gone by with nothing done. While it is too mueh to expect complete sanitary conveniences to be provided at Lakeview Park this sea- son, there is no valid reason why the present might soil houses should not be cl d out, dis tant plac- ed therein, and then kept clean. This should be dome without further de- lay. «The Park Board should also get busy this summer and fal and have a start made to give decent lavatory accommodation at Alexandra Park. There have been a number of pic- nics at Oshawa-on-the-Liake this year. The number will continue to grow and it is 2 poor advertisement for the town, 10 find such accommodation as A few years ago an American yachtaman of standing crossed the Atlantic dn a small boat driven by a kerosene oil engine.

That has al- strated by the bitter experience. of shipwrecked and fog-lost navigators, In her girlhood Mrs. Lloyd George, wife of the British Premier, was cap- tain of a cricket team. What neither the wife nor her rival can possibly understand is "how he can care for 'that' woman!" A young woman goes from her parents' home to an office "because a business girl gets to know men so well"--and frequently stays in the office, instead of going into a home of her own, for identically the same reason, Higher (Continued from page 1) ' it very essential that a larger sup- ply of power should become avail- not only on the Central Ontario System, or Trent District, but also the St. Lawrence District as far east as Cornwall and the Rideau and Ottawa District lying between the St. Lawrence River and the city of Ottawa. The St, Lawrence 'is the only available supply that will meet the demands of the whole eastern district between the city of Toronto, or Whitby, on the west, and Ottawa and Cornwall on the east. Start New Generator Number 3 generator at Chippawa was turned on for the first time at roon Tuesday, and , according to Chief Engineer F. A. Gaby, it oper- ated without a hitch. After running for half an hour it was shut down to make a few minor adjustments, and then set in operation again. With an additional 60,000 horse power available from this generator, which it is expected to market in approximately 10 days, Chippawa will be supplying from 175,000 to 180,000 horse power. Number 4 gen- erator is in course of being erected and the turbine is already in. It will be turning out power before fall. Two More Soon to Run Sir Adam Beck stated that instrue- tions had been given to proceed with its installation with all possible speed in anticipation of coal short- age. Number 4 in operation in Octo- ber and Number 5 by February, is the schedule set by the Hydro Com- mission. In view of Government criticism and Gregory Commission investiga- tion of -Chippawa, the opinions of Sir Adam Beck and Chief Engineer Gaby on the importance of Chip- pawa to Ontario is interesting. In the midst of discussion of the ser- iousness of the coal situation Tues- day, Sir Adam was asked what the position of Ontario would be with- out the Chippawa development, "Mighty, mighty serious," unhesi- tatingly replied the Hyrdo knight. All Sold in Eight Years "Why," interjected Mr. Gaby, "On- tario would be bankrupt. Industry would be almost at a standstill." Sir Adam -- The whole of Chip- pawa power will be gone in from six to eight years. Mr. Gaby--It will be gone in five years. Sir Adam: "These five machines will be equivalent to from 3,000,000 to 5,000,000 tons of coal in the or- dinary industrial plants. And if the original capacity of Chippawa had been installed, we would have been out of power now, and it would have taken us four years to build another canal." REVIVING BRITISH OPERA London Daily News.--We are inclin- ed to think that the real stimulus to operatic art in this country will have to come not from a wealthy promoter, native composer rich in inventive genius. Unfortunately such a gift is not to be bestowed by any known means of capitalism. We must be con- tent to wait for a favorable juxtaposi- tion of the stars. GOOD NEIGHBORHOOD Chicago News.--There can be little doubt that the development of the wes- tern plains of the United States will be duplicated on the plains of Canada. And Canada's success, however great it may be, can never be displeasing to this country. The interests of the two nations are much more nearly related in many respects tham are the interests of Canada and Great Britain. Canada's friendship is valuable now and will become more so as she develops in wealth and power. 'This is something that should be taught to the shortsighted politicians in Washington who are doing their best to alienate Canada's interest and friendship in erecting along the border at wall, able within the very near future, | but through the rising up of a mew | A shortage of anthracite coal for domestic use in Canada is the gloomy prediction of Mr. 8. J. Cook, Chief of ithe Mining Branch of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, after a survey of the situation presented by the strike in the United States fields. During the six months ending June 1922 imports into Central Ontario of anthracite in domestic sizes amount- ed to 776,000 tons, as compared with 1,421,000 tons, the various quantity {imported during the same period in {the three preceding years. During 'the same period only 240,000 tons of 'similar grades were received by the Province of Quebec as compared with an average of 515,000 tons for the 'same six months jn the three preced- ling years. "The percentage of aver- lage supply received by Ontario this (year is therefore 65 per cent., and Quebec 47 per cent," Mr, Cook's | statement reads. These figures are not startling in themselves, ibut © it apears that the reserve Istock, accumulated at the mines which supply Ontario and Quebec in |anticipation of the strike, have been practically wiped out and only the smaller sizes are being offered. An 'unfortunate aspect of the case is and other freight will very shortly |make it difficult or impossible for the |rallroads to handle the coal properly even if a settlement of the strike should come immediately, and the congestion in traffic is bound to ham- per the shipment of coal and the railwaymen's strike will tend to ag- (gravate the situation. While com- {plete figures regarding the output of |Canadian mines for the first six months of the year are not available, a reduction in the quantity produced will likely be shown in all provinces except British Columbia which has {about maintained its average output |Alberta's output has heen consider ably reduced during the past three months; in Saskatchewan the larger {mines have been operating fairly |steady, but the smaller concerns have [been working on part tine.

The propggal emanates from British officials, according to dis- patches, and it is they who are urg- |ing upon the Freneh that the sug- gested scheme would bring about a {radical change in the unsatisfactory | European sitwation.

In- deed it is regarded as probable that the committee of international Bank- ers could arrange a loan large enough in itself to provide for the reparation payments for several years to come, Should Great Britain cancel the French war debt, it is hoped by supporters of the scheme that the United States will follow the lead after she has had an oppor- tunity to observe the good which may result from even a partial writ- ing off of such debts, Premier Lloyd George and Poincare are expected to discuss the matters fully at meeting in the near future. L * * Mr. Lloyd George's announcement in the House of Commons that the Government was willing to" appoint a Royal Commission to advise on the procedure to be adopted in future in assisting the Prime Minister to make recommendations to the Kinz of the names of persons deserving honors, no doubt marks the begin- ning of the solution of a very vexed subject. On the whole the Prime Minister's speech was a strong de- fense of the existing system, al- though he admitted it was not per- fect, denouncing anything in the na ture of a bargain and sale, if it exist- ed, he contended that it was impos- sible to rid the Premier of the re- sponsibility of recommending honors For years there have heen criticisms of the hestowal of honors and more than once in the press, and on the floor of the House, more or direct charges have heen made that the Peerage and lesser honors were open to the man with sufficient money to bid for them. Mr. Lloyd George admitted that there had heen a considerable increase in the num- ber of honors because of the in crease of population and wealth, and because of the setting up of a new order which had democratized honors to a great extent. During and since the war the lists, he said, had been particularly heavy because of "the part the eivilian ' population played in the struggle.

After an all-day conference at (Washington it was found that vari- ous groups were still far apart in their opinion, a majority of the dis- tricts represented accepting Mr. Harding's proposal unconditionally while the minority subscribed to the general principles of arbitration and eollective bargaining, but insisted upon imposing special conditions, Frankly disappointed with the outcome of the negotiations, the President briefly pointed out that (Continued on page 3) Won't let You Grow Bald A bald head is no disgrace, but not many men are hankering after one.
