W. H. PRICE (Continued from Page 1) gaining tho man's release on par- ole. Given Suspended Sentence Evidence in the case had becn a little comtradictory and difficult to explain, Col Price related. and the magistrate whose court was the first to deal with it ,had found Drysdale guilty of driving while intoxicated and bad put him oa suspended sentence, At that time four separate 1 charges of criminal negligence, all laid as a result of the one acci- dnet, stood against the accused, ing, the magistrate had' felt justi- said Col. Price, Knowing that the man would come to trial on these cou.ts for which the penalty, upon conviction, was much heav- fer than that for crunken driv- fied in suspending sentence on the % inor charge, the attorney-general stated. On Oct, 29 Drysdale came before & county. judge and yas convicted on a charge of doin; grievous bodily harm, He was given three months, which, Mr. Price pointed out, was a greater penalty than cou"l have been given for driving while intoxicated Following the conviction the ac cused was trans. .cd to Guelph to' serge his term. Beyond thie point, "the attorney-general said, his department had no further jurisdiction over the case. It then rested with the rovincial secre- tary"s department which has full charge of all re: r-atorfes anc prisoners. As is their right, friends of the accused including Mr, Geddes, had made representation to the parole boc»d, an inde -~dei: body under the provincial secretary's depart- ment, Parole Was Granted After due conr =-atisn, Drys- dale was granted a parole. At the time, Dr. A. E Lavell, chairman of the board, did not know of the previous charge on which sus- pended sentence had Le prone Col. Price stated. "Some may say have been betic; nave allowau Drysdale to have r ==incd his three months in prison,' 'stated the attorney-general. 'There is con- stant criticism of those who place ment on parole. Those who do the work to put a m~ in fall g~e-. times resent the ease with whi-h he gets out. The .overnent, haw- that it would ever, has seen fit to establish a p- ole board. "I'm not saying that it acted rightly or wrongly in this case It does not com~ us' r my depart- ment.

Brought to Attention oe of Citizens -- With Christmas past citizens arc reminded once again of the urgent need for funds for the Community Welfare Committee, With the aid of the Rotary Club most people in thz town who were unfortunate enough to be lacking necessities at Christmas were sup~ plied and the most of them spent a Merry Christmas despite their cirs cumstances. Now just as many are out' of work and just as many are deserving cf help from their fellow citizens who are in better circum- stances. All that has been subscrib- ed to the fund to date is about $130 and this 1s far from adequate for the needs of the poor in the town, and with no council sitting yet something must be done by the Welfare Com- mittee, T'wo cases were brought to the no- tice of the Times yesterday. One a mother of two children and the hus- band out of work has been very sick for the past few weeks and yesterday paid a visit to the doctor. Under cx- amination it was found that her heart was weak and she was under nourished, and she was informed that she would have a complete break- down if she did not receive the food sO* necessary to keep a mother in health. Another " - E K L o C was an old couple, the wife o sixty and unable owing to advanced age to work, and the husband minus a limb and although | being able to do a little in the sum- | mer time finds it impossible to find employment in tiie winter. This is an abnormal year and the citizens must make the best of it and do their share to help those in less fortunate circumstances than them- sclves. Send vour donations to the treasurer the Rev, R.

Ca Da * l HERBERT MORTLOCK SHORT COURSE IN AGRICULTURE 13 OPENING TODAY Also Home Economics Taught in Classes Here The short course in agriculture and home economics which is be- ing given under the direction of the department of agriculture of the Ontario Government, opened in Bowmanville this morning. By the number present at 9 o'clock it appears that there will be a goou attendance, and as is sincereiy hoped by' R. Y. Kellough, the Dur- ham County representative, will be an outstanding success. It will not be known for some days just how many will take ad- vantage of the courses as some do not attend all the classes, but Mr. Kellough is sure that enough will register to make it worth while. It is not often that the residents of Bowmanville and surrounding country get the opportunities that t Clarke townships should make an effort to attend these courses which will 'be found to be very beneficial if they intend to up farming for a vocation. Any special announcements will be made in the press in the course of the school which opens today and concludes on January 31. ELECTIONS PASS QUIETLY TODAY Polls Close at Five O'clock, Results Known About Eight P.M. Election day opened quietly in jowmanville. When the polls op- ened at nine o'clock today no rush to vote was noticed and as far as could be seen little interest is be- ing taken in the election. There are 1,961 people in Bowmanville who are entitled to vote, but with no bylaw or any important discus- glon coming up since nomination day, it is expeeted that only emall percentage of this number will use their franchise. . Polls close at five o'clock, and the results will be known about 8 o'clock tonight and will be posted in the town hall, For the conveni- ence of those who will not be com- ing up town this evening results may be obtainéd by phoning the office of The Times after eight o'- clock, and the results will be avail- able. The number is 587. IN THE PARLOR (Chicago Daily News) Charlie (after hours of hesita- tion) --*"Give me a kiss?" Bertha---""Ah, me! So you, too, are like the rest of the men!"

Cahan, K.C., Before Meeting of Columbus Forum, Montreal Montreal.--C. H. Cahan, K.C,, M.P., addressed the Columbus Fo- rum recently, taking as his sub- ject, "The Old Years and the New Year." After reviewing some of his personal experiences when teaching elementary astronomy and mathematics at the Yarmouth Academy and subsequently during his seven years as a student at Dal- housie University, Mr. Cahan said: "But I find, as I come into close association with the young men ot today, that many of them, as they come into contact with the teach- ings of physical science, are con- fronted with the same difficulties regarding religious bellefs that I faced in my earlier youth. They seem to think that the vast re- searches of the physical sciences necessarily undermine, if they do not destroy religioug faith and re- ligious beliefs. : Oldest. of Sciences "Astronomy is the oldest of the sciences and yet during my life- time, since I taught at the Yar. mouth Academy it has made most surprising advances, owing chiefly to unprecedented improvements in astronomical appliances, the teles- cope, the spectroscope, and the like, and in the development of the mathematical formulae in which the revelations of this science are usually more clearly 'expressed. "The astronomical facts, now made known to every youth in the popular magazines, are undoubted- 1y of tremendous import to us, We have learned that light travels 186,000 miles a secamd; about 8 i 2 ~ times the length of the earth's cir- umference in a second. We, who reside on this earth, travel 20 miles a second round the sun. The carries us 12 miles a second sun through the Galactic System to which we belong. The Galactic System carries us 250 miles a sec- ond through the Spiral Nebulae, and thence into infinity, unless Mr, Einstein's recently propounded theory of 'finite but unbounded space' is to be finally accepted. "Sclentific thought, during my life-time, has not only entirely changed the 'trend of its specula- tions regarding the universe, but also the conventional terms by which its speculatibns are express- ed. It is nevertheless incapable of presenting a final picture. It is ever arranging and re-arranging the component parts of its present picture of the universe, but its ar- rangements are admittedly never completed. "The scientist, oceaslonally makes intelligent guesses as to how the finished picture will even- tually appear, but his speculations are constantly being modified by unexpected developments in nat- ural phenomena. "Now what relation has scienti- fic data to the fects of individual consciousness with which we are all familiar? How are our relt gious beliefs and our sense of mor- al duty and responsibility affected thereby? "The life: of man has risen' to the level of consciousness. I grasp the notion of existence because [| myself exist. To me, as to you, the all important fact in all nature {8 that I live, that you live. Left Unexplained "Exact science, which has es- tablished numerical indications of quantities jn time and in gpace, leaves unknown and does not at- tempt to solve the mystery of man's consciousness and of his mental activity. Consciousness {is self- knowing. The self-conscious mind of the scientist, that probes so deeply into the relations of the material world, is left unexplain- ed and inexplicablé by the scien- tific methods which he has devis- ed. "I recognize beauty and melody in this life. The scientist may ana- Iyze a beautiful picture into the particles of paint of which it con- sists, but the human mind, when concentrated upon making this an- alysis, is prone to lose entirely the aesthetic and spiritual significance of the picture. Science has to do with the electro-magnetic waves which are the counterpart of .col- or, and with its analysis of the paint stuff of which the picture in is composed. We see the picture all its beauty. "The scientist represents music by a mathematical scale, but mel- ody to us has an emotional appeal, of which the scientist, as such, na- turally fails to take cognizance. "The world in which we live and M PHIL J.

There is a form of Malignant Myopia the highest a 1 worst types of which are found amongst the uneducated, but these cases are rare and are just mention- cd in passing, this type being strong- ly hereditory. There are forms of false Myopia which are due to rtain muscle con- ditions and 'this condition may be found in people of practically any age, It so resembles the true con- dition that great care must be excr- cised to properly d tect and treat it. Precautionary measures may 9 taken in regard to Mypoia and its progress checked or if proper hy- genic principles are followed early in life some cases of Myopia woul not be in evidence in later life. Light for reading should be bright and steady and should not be directed towards the eyes, but rather it should be al- lowed to fall over the left shoulder. No close work should be followed without lenses. Momentary relaxa- tion from work is helpful and close work should not at any time be in- dulged in for very long periods. Stooping for close viewing should be noticed and checked. If the condi- tion is still proeressive refrain en- tirely from close work for a time. Other Editor's Comments HISTORICAL SOCIETIES (Chatham News) There is room for much effort in reviving the historical societies of Ontario, and arousing them to action in the formation of museums. Pub- lic sentiment is strongly in favor of it. The stage is set for actibn in many places including Chatham. This city has benefited greatly from the activities of the Kent His- torical Society in the past, and through its efforts maay valuable documents have been written regard- ing the early history of Kent. In- formation has been unearthed and placed in the annual valumes issued, which will be invaluable to future generations. | MAKING WORK (From the Vancouver Sun) Men will tell you they never work ed so hard in their :ives as they do now: that they can't find time to do anything: that they have to do at nights what they intended to do in | sengers overseas, dwarfing the record of any | | 200 steamers, | was corre spondmgly HALIFAX HARBOR COMMISSION HAS AMBITIOUS PLAN Proposed Development To Make City Great All- STOCK MARKETS STANDARD MINING EXCHANGH Toronto, Jan. 6.--Falconbridge with a slump of 70 cents to $4.30 for a new 1930 low' featured a de= cline in prices on the Mining Ex« change during the morning session today.
