In addition to the foregoing, es- tablishment of a Paviie Utilities Commission to control the manage- ment and operation of both the Hy- dro-Electric Plant and equipment, and the Waterworks system of Bowmanville, will necessitate the election of two commissioners, one for three years and the other for two years; the Mayor, by virtue of his office, being a member of that Commission. Jonuary 1, 1932, is the date which the local Hydro system shall be handed over to the town. Commission Byla ws The by-law, establishing a Public Utilities Commission, dated Decem- ber 7th, 1931, does not provide for salaries for the Commission which, like the Town Council, must func- tion gratis. Bringing the only two revenue producing departments un~ der one management is expected to provide for better efficiency. The electorate will be asked to vote on "Are you in favor of the establish- ment of a Public Utilities Commis- sion?" Fixed Assessment The other by-law on which the electorate will be called upon to vote, will be he ns ne of a fixed assessment of 000. for a period of ten years to the Bowmanville Foundry Company. It is interesting to note that in the past ten years this company has paid out $742,000 in wages. The amount of the fixed assessment ($20,000) is exclusive of school rates and local improvements upon lands and building used for manufacturing purposes only by the Bowmanville Foundry Company. No opposition to this by-law is expect- ed.

The public is cordially invited to attend and join in the happy refrain, NEW ZEALAND PAPER OF MUCH INTEREST From far-away New Zealand, which just about now is said to be basking in the sun--at least, devoid of snow--comes a copy of "Brett's Christmas Number," a peaytifully engraved pictorial product of the Auckland Star, for December. The copy was receiv- ed from a sister of the writer, at present living in "Down under." From a casual glance through the pages of this interesting mag- azine, the impression is gleaned that New Zealand Is not entirely unitke many parts of the Old Country--particularly is this true of the pastoral scenes. Then again, Mount Cook and the Fox (*ld@cler, are not unlike the Can- adian Rockies. The only thing which sounds at all foreign to the tongue are 'the Maori (native New Zealand- ers) place names, Who, for in- stance, dare pronounce this one: "Ngati-Maniapoto," or "Whiti- te-Marama" meaning "The Shin- ing of the Moon." Rich in folk-lore, New Zealand, one gathers, is a land of many buds; strange customs and doc- trines, sun-shine, untold natural resources: a country whose in- habitants are filled with the pio- neer"s spirit of adventure, This particular copy of an interesting New Zealand annual may be seen at The Times' office, Bowman- vilie, WARNING AGAINST MAILING TOO LATE With only two days before Christ- mas Day, warning against the prac- tice of "last minute" mailing of let- ters and parcels, is again reminded that there will be no town or rural delivery of mail or parcels on Christmas Day, This practice, the first time in the Dominion, is being observed in every post office and rural delivery in Canada, and is to give "postie" a much-needed vaca- tion at this joyous season.

Oshawa's Leading Jewelers St. South Phone 188 French Flier Ready for Flight Into Stratosphere, 10 Miles Up Yaris, Dec. 22--Andre Coupet, 'a French aviator, recently completed preparations for an airplane flight into the strathosphere on the fringe of "space" beyond the world's known atmospheric strata, Rivalling the balloon trip made recently into the stratosphere, Cou- pet plans to depart from the Far- man airdrome of Toussus le Noble, near Paris, as soon as weather con- ditions are favorable. He will fly a 500 horse-power air- plane, which has an hermetically ealed cabin to protect him from the low temperature as well as the scorching ravs of the sun which are encountered in the thin air at preat altitudes. Coupet said that he hop- ed to attain an altitude of ten mi- les, about the distance which the Piccard balloon rose from the sur- face of the earth. Professor Piccard, who landed safely with his assistant after a long flight from Germany to the Italian frontier, predicted that it would not be long before airplanes would fly at tremendous speed in the strato- sohere. Due to lack of atmospheric resistance, planes will be able to cross the Atlantic Ocean at great altitude within a few hours' flying time, he predicted. Coupet, in preparing for the first airplane venture into the strato- sphere, had Paris representatives of the International Aeronautic Feder- ation check his altimeter yesterday He said he did not plan to make any preliminary tests prior to at- temoting the flight, Bigamy no Crime in Many Cases States Eminent British Justice london. -- A suggestion that rigamy might not always be a wvime, recently made by Mr. Jus- tice Rowlatt, while by no means cueptable to clerics, has met w'tk qualified approval from a number of jurists and legal lum- :paries.

Either one or both may subsequently form lasting attachments, and marry to make the union 'respectable' or under the impression that their first pavtner is dead. 'T'o bring the parties before the law for pun- ishment in such cases may cause pain without benefitting the community or anyone.

After four years he met and fell in love with another woman, He explained the ecir- sumstances and .said he was never likely to see his wife again, The second woman gladly went through a form of marriage with him and they lived happily to- gether for some years.
