That, of course, was to be expected, and while there are two sides to every question, and while there may have been some grounds for criticism on account of the fact that there is no other daily newspaper in Oshawa, yet the attitude of The Times has been justified by the election itself. One of the Surprising things was the large voto polled, in spite of the fact that there was no contest for the mayoralty, If it did nothing' else, the selec- tion of candidates by The Times at least helped to arouse a keener interest in the campaign for all of- fices, and in this way contributed to the heavy vote which was cast, The Times feels, too, that the leadership which it gave to the people of Oshawa has been amply justi fied, The fate of the didates recom ded proves this, for, out of twenty-three candidates recommended, --fifteen for city council, four for utilities and four for board of education, only five failed of election. Thus The Times has no cause for regret nor for dis- appointment, since the electors placed the seal of their approval on so many of the candidates recom- Bond Building, 66 TI Street, Toleph Adelaide 0107 ' H' D Tresidder, representative REPRESEN1ATIVES IN U. 8. ors and Stone, Inc. New York end Chicago. TUESDAY, JANUARY 7; 1930 . THE MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS The electors of Oshawa have spoken. At the polls 'yesterday, they sclected the men who will conduct "their, business as members of the eity council, the public utilities commission and the board of educa- tion for the year 1930. The size of the vote cast, In spite of the lack of a contest for the mayoralty, in. dicates the keen interest which was taken in the election, and it is a wholesome indication of the fact that the electors of the city are alive to their duties and responsibilities' in choosing the right men to conduct their business for then. Thus the electors are to be commended for the vote which was polled, and also on the selections which they made by thelr ballots, for on all three public bodies Involved in the election, the year 1930 will find capable and ener- getic public-spirited 1nen, voady to serve. their com- munity to the best of their ability, and to devote their time and their thought and energy to the advance ment of its welfare. w w % - The feature of the election of the 1930 city council js the choosing' of seven new aldermen to. occupy seats around the council table, The retirement of four of last year's council left the way open for the introduction of some new blood into the council, and in addition, three of the 1929 aldermen were defeated at the polls. The 1930 eouneil, however, while it in- cludes seven men who were not there last year, looks fike a body of capable and eflicient adthinistrators, who will give good service to the city, and the elec- tors should have every reason to feel satisfied with the choices which they made. Ouistanding in the vot- ing was the splendid vote decorded Alderman George Hart, who headed the poll in the Southeast Ward with 704 ballots in bis favor, and the surprising total recorded by one of the newcomers to the council, WV. G. Bunker, who headed the poll in the Northeast Ward with 565 votes. This is an indication of public _ confidence in which these men might have a pardons able feeling of pride, and which they will, no doubt, make every effort to justify by their public service. On the whole, the 1230 council is a good one, and under the leadership of Mayor Mitchell, who goes in- to his second term by acclamation, it should do good work during the year. » * In the election of Oshawa's first public utilities commission, the outstanding feature {s the splendid vote recorded by John Stacey, who headed the poll. Mr. Stacey is to be congratulated on the splendid support accorded him by his fellow-citizens, a sup- port which is a recognition of many years of untiring and faithful public service. Mr. Stacey has spent many years in public life, and the electors appar- ently felt that they were making no mistake in elect _ ing a man of his wide experience.

THE POLICE STATION BY-LAW The overwhelming vote by which the ratepayers of Oshawa defeated the by-law 'to raise $50,000 for the erection of a new police station on Prince Street shows clearly the mind of the public on this sub- ject, As The Times pointed out, this bylaw was contrary to the best interests of the futurc of Osh- awa, since it perpetuated the decentralization of the varjous civic departments, and meant the killing of the greater plan to concentrate all of these on one pite adjoining the Memorial Park, In opposing the by-law, The Times made it clear "that this was not done because of a lack of recog- nition of the police department for improved quar- ters, but rather because the proposal to erect a police station on Prince Street was not the most de- sirable for the future of Oshawa. The Times, too, held that the original plan of erecting a civic build- ing or buildings, overfuoking Memorial Park, to house all of the city's civic departments, was the best solu- tion of the problem which is now facing all of them to find adequate accommodation for the work they have to do, - By their vote, the ratepayers of Oshawa upheld this viewpoint, and not only expressed their disapproval of the building of the police station at the corner of Prince and Richmond Streets, but also expressed their approval of the principle of centrali- zation for which The Times stood in {its attitude on the by-law, The new city council, however, must not take the defeat of the by-law as meaning that the people are satisfled with the present police quarters. Rather should it devote its energies to carrying out the al- ternative plan which was suggested by The Times, and should, at the earliest possible opportunity, take steps to enlarge and improve the present police quar. ters so that they will serve their purpose until such time as the ratepayers are prepared to go ahead with the larger scheme. If tliis is done, there will be no regrets because of the defeat of the by-law. Rather are the ratepayers to be congratulated on their good senee in throwing out a project which even the alder men of 1929 did not take the trouble to defend, NO SALARIES FOR ALDERMEN The aldermen of Oshawa will continue to give thelr services to the city without remuneration, The electors of the city spoke with no uncertain voice yesterday in voting down the proposal to pay them salaries, No one will worry a great deal about the decision of the electors on this question, for there was only a slight measure of support given to it. While the principle that tile laborer is worthy of his hire was the principle behind the proposul, yet it is apparent that the electors of Oshawa feel that election to the cffice of alderman Is an Lonor and a privilege in ftself, and is merely an acceptance of that duty which devolves on every man who is qualified to make some contribution to the welfare of the community in which Le lives. After all, that is placing public service on a high level, and it is just as wel, in many respects, that it sliould re- main there. EDITORIAL NOTES One of the regrettable things, but one which eould not be belped, was that so many good'men had to be left at home. But of course they could not all be elected, eo ; Eighteen candidates elected out of twenty-three selections is not a bad average, Even the Toronto Globe did not do as well as that in the Toronto municipal election, Congratulations to our fellow-editor, J. H. Ormiston, of Whitby, who was réelected to the Whitby Town Council, even although ho did not head thie poll this year, an The people of Oshawa were really. interested. in 1. their election this year. At least, that is the opinion of the telephone operators Who had to handle ithe thousands of calls of enquiry last might, . The deputy returning officers had a real: job on In some cases it was nearly eloven o'clock before the complicated count was completed. And the officials were gurely ready for supper by that time. The vote on the police station by-law should con: vince the city council that the ratepayers do rot ap. prove of the shelving of the original plan for cen- tralization of all the civic departments in one set of munieipal buildings. May the time soon be op- portune for carrying out the original plan. AN OLD ONE First She=--Does your fianee know your age?

Dr. 1. Bram, Philadelphia, reports a study of 2000 cases of the severe type of goitre which have been under lis care, His report shows that the average time required for the patient away 'rom customary duties was about afteen weeks, In more than 17 per cent. of cases, no time was lost from ordinary duties. Dr. Bram followed up all the cascs for from three to ten years and finds that 1819 cases, that is about 91 per cent, are in perfect health, 116 or 6 per cent gre in fair health and able to do their work, but still show some goitre symptoms and heart enlarge- ment, and about 65 or 3 per cent. still have severe symptoms, but these had been treated surgically before re- ceiving medical attention, Now what does this mean to suff erers from exopthalmic goitre, as the ailment is called? That «before undergoing surgery they should put themselves under the care of the family doctor, and and carty out his trcatment or rest, fresh air, dict, and so forth, It has been found, as in Dr. Bram's cases that this brings a large percen- tage of cures; X-ray treatments have been thown vo be cffective; whilst surgery is the last resort.
