SATURDAY, MARCH 14th, 1981 A STRIKING COMPARISON Readers of The Times who are inlerested in the deal for the sale of the Oshawa gas iystem should not miss reading the articles which appears in today's issue, written from Clinton, Iowa, by the editor of the Times. ' This article is of special value and interest becauge it deals with the sperations of the Utilities Power and Light Corporation in a city of almost exactly the same size as Osh- wa, a city of 26,000, so that it might be . considered a fair basis for comparison, There are other factors, however, men- tioned in this article, which make this com- ison even more striking! The Utilities * Power and Light Corporation purchased the gas system in Clinton five years ago. At that | time, it was in almost exactly the same posi- + tion as the Oshawa system is today. The - & plant itself was antiquated and run-down. 4 The distribution system was inadequate to + the needs of the community, and many sec- # tions of the city were left unserved. Service * was of the half-hearted type, and no one was particularly interested in making a suc- cess of the gas utility. That was five years ago. Then the U. P. and L. took over the plant, and immediately there was a change. Since then, a sum of 8 between $250,000 and $300,000 has been spent in building a new plant of the coal gas type, and in extending the mains and dis- tribution system. Today, Clinton boasts of a coke and gas plant which is a credit to the community, and which is giving adequate _ 8as and coke service to it. The distribution | system extends into every corner of the city, . even to streets on the outskirts with only . three or four houses. Service is the watch. i word of the corporation, and as the article - shows, the citizens are at last satisfied with their gas supply. "This article is striking since it shows ex- actly what can be done in 8 community like Oshawa by an organization like the Utilities t Power and Light Corporation taking over a * wornout and inadequate plant, and, by L reason of its large financial resources, de- . veloping it as it can and should be developed. k The happy experience of Clinton, Iowa, © should be an object lesson to the voters of * Oshawa who have it in their 'power next Saturday to bring the same organization into Oshawa to carry out the same type of de- velopment. That this development will be . carried on here cannot be questioned because "it is a fixed policy of the U. P. and L. to op- . erate their plants to the maximum of capa- "city, to gove service that will satisfy the public, and to place their properties on such a basis as to make them a credit to the.com- munity, instead of a reproach. GASOLINE NOT A BY-PRODUCT A speaker opposing the gas plant sale by- Ww at a recent meeing made much of an argument that, since gasoline was a by-pro- duct of a coking plant, it might be detri- "mental to Canadian interests to have it con- 'trolled by an United States corporation in . time of war. The answer, of course, is that i gasoline is not a by-product of a coking plant. In the last week, we have had the privilege of inspecting several coking plants, of vari- types and sizes, all equipped with exten- give by-products departments, and operated the corporation which is seeking to buy Oshawa plant. But in all these by- oducts' departments, gasoline has no place. he by-products included tar, ammonium, phate, benzol, sulphur, napthelene, and milar substances, but not gasoline. ~ This explanation shows that it is well to learned with facts when making asser- onthe public platform on an issue of portance to the city. Fair debate and ar- gument, based on facts, is always enlighten- g, but when the facts are forgotten in the of an address, then their can be no fair pment nor debate.

The accomplishing of the thing is to such pgople the only reward they seek, and the spreading around of cred- it does not concern them in the least. OH, MR. SINCLAIR! MR. SINCLAIR (Kingston Whig-Standard) Bang goes another myth, and this time W. E, N. Sinclair, one-time leader of the Liberal party in On- tario, is to blame. : Here we have been going along for years, calmly thinking that newspapers tried to reflect public opin- ion in their editorial columns. And now we find out that such an idea is all humbug. On Friday last, during that Gilbertian performance in the Legislature regarding the remarks of some cal- low youth anent atheism, Mr, Sinclair delivered an address. "In the course of it he dramatically asked "What is an editorial?" And then out of that wisdom which seems to surround and emanate from great political leaders, he delivered himself thusly: "My definition of an editorial is that it is an opinion of one man big enough to own or control a newspaper, not necessarily public opinion at all." But that is not all. Mr. Sinclair continued, regarding editorials: "1 feel there are very few of us take them at their face value when we read them, because we realize that they are:written by human beings limited in their experience and possibly in their point of view." Well, that's a bit of a disappointment. Here we've been laboring under the impression for several days that when the Oshawa Times said that right-minded Liberals were prouder of W. E. N. Sinclair than they were Mitchell Hepburn, it was reflecting public opin- ion. And now we discover that it was simply the opinion of a couple of pals of ours, Charlie Mundy and Arthur Alloway, the two powerful men who own and control the daily newspaper in Mr, Sinclair's home town. Neverthiess, it will be a bit of a body blow for these two Oshawa boosters to learn that their editorials are not taken at their face value by their old fellow-townsman for whom they have done so much. 4 EDITORIAL NOTES A Toronto institution which depends in part for its support on public funds, oper- ates a swimming pool and gives instruction in swimming to boys and girls.

Tuek, Opt. D\ (Copyright, 1938) ASTIGMATISM Part Two There are many varieties of Astigmatism due to the combina- tion of different errors, Their names will be self-explanatory of the conditions from whence they arise; Hyperopie Astigmatism and Myopic Astigmatism especially. Mixed Astigmatism .is a combina- tion of Myopic and Hyperople As- tigmatism, In this condition the | Myople meridian would have such power as would create a focus be- fore the retina would be reached and the Hyperopic meridian would have such power as would create a focus behind the retina. Irregu- lar Astigmatism is a condition In which the focal power of one meri- dian or more may be broken due to an irregular condition of the refractive surface. This may be due to a scarred cornea or an opa- city of some nature on one or more of the other refractive por- tions of the eye. Lenticular Astig- matism is due to irregularities in the crystalline lens of the eye due to opacities and irregular curva- tures of the surface. Astigmatism may be hereditory but in thee acquired cases is due to changes after sickness, injury, inflammation or operation. Instruments and methods of the present day optical science have reached the stage where the error can be detected by the use of in- struments devised for measuring the curves of the cornea and thus show the amount of the corneal Astigmatism, Instruments are also in use which determine the amount of Astigmatism of the inner sur- faces of the eye.

This type of baldness denudes the top of the pate, leaving the well known fringe at sides and back. The Roman writer Celsus first described it 2,000 years agp, said Dr. Goodman. Celsus, like everyone since, noted that this loss begins after adolescence, Recently, said Dr, Goodman, scien- tific evidence has been accumulating that before adolescence all the hai of the head'is unde trol of the sympathetic nervous system, the fringe passing under dominion of the central nervous system, The latter consists of the cranial and spinal neryes , concerned with voluntary movements. The common male baldness begins at the time of change of this nervous control. The area of baldness agrees with the pattern of the area which remains under the sympathetic ner- vous control. Beginning of the new idea of nerve control goes back about 40 years, said Dr. Goodman, to Dr. R. Saboutaud of Paris. He discovered accidentally that thallium acetate taken internal- ly, causes loss of hair, but that rub- bed on the outside to remove super- fluous hair, it has no such potency. Its control is through the nerves, Drugs whose action upon the sym- pathetic nervous system is antagon- istic to that of thallium acetate have shown some powers of preserving hair, "Just what combination of circum- stances," said Dr, Goodman, "control- ling the glands of internal secretion upsets the sympathetic nervous sys- tem in some people who become nerve according to pattern is not known, "Unless very definite rest: can be obtained with drugs having the op- posite effect of thallium acetate, per- sons with nerve baldness must be re- signed to go bald or else wear a wig." longs to us. So Jesus teaches us that God wants His own. These publicans and sinners belong to Him and they are priceless. To the cold calculation of the pharisees who are finding fault, they may not seem desirable or promise to be very useful. But it is love that values them, God's love for His own. So there is joy in heaven when the lost is found, Prayer O God our Father who didst love us, the unworthy and the wandering, and didst give Thy Son for our life and salvation, fill our hearts also with this heaven- ly love, and with a yearning after the lost sheep of Thy flock, that with diligence we may seek ana finding may partake of Thy joy.

A deer killed that way is shot through the head and instantly killed. A deer killed on & runway or by still hunting is almost always either shot to pieces and the venison is spoiled or in most cases it is badly wounded and gets away and dies of its wounds in the woods. "The most dangerous animal in the woods is a city hunter, armed with a rifle which will carry a ball about three miles. Some years ago I lived in a district north of Tor- onto where there was lots of game and the city hunters came there in the fall. T know of three head of cattle wounded by stray bullets and one horse shot dead. The settlers were afraid to let their children go to school. Next year the settlers made war on the game, They shot the partridgsd in their nests in June, set snares for the deer and soweu a few turnips back in the woods where the cattle did not go and when the turnips came up, Paris- greened the turnip tops and poison- ed the deer. After that they were not bothered with city hunters. "If & city hunter did manage to kill a deer he could not dress the carcass neither could he get it out of the Woods and if he hung it up and went out himself he could not find it again. A compass is no good in- the woods except to a person who knows how to use one. One of your correspondents talks about putting a red band on his hat. One might as well tie a cowbell round his neck. He would .never get a deer that way because the animal would see him before he saw it."
