THURSTON, - - Editor ;.M«. Editor EDITOKIAL NOTES One definition of a hypociil is a fellow who acts differently when he knows someone is watchint; him. • • • A Hsadinsr doctor advises us all to walk more. The rwommendbtjon may well be laid to heart. ,With very many of our friends, healthy ivalkinjf i.s now only a promenade to where the car i.s parked. • • • A scientist claims to have produced â- a new drug that will abolish the habit of sleepinj?. But a young father in Flcsherton claims that a new baby in the hou.'^^hold has the same effect. • « • "Can you raise nineteen children on twenty (dollars) a week? asks a fem- inine author in a book just published. Well, We have never tried, and would not like to be called on to do so. It seems to be a fitting topic for debate by the Women's Institute. • * • The King's Semi- Jubilee i.s to be celebrated on the Gth of May next There will be empire-wide celebra- tions of the event, but the principal Kathering will be in the Heart of the Kmpire. The Canadian Premiei' is likely lo attend, and will, no doubt, try lo Ket the session of Parliament xiompleted in plenty of time. « • • Aa-ording t« a leading chiropodi.st there is not likely to be any let-up to the fashion in women's shoes that calls for ultra-high heels, tiresome and dangerous though it generally is. Even the low heels on a man's foot- gear, the expert a.s.serts, wa&te mus- cular energy equivalent to that re- quired to carry two pails of watoi', each weighing fourteen pounds, foi the 8,000 steps he takes, on an a\'er- age, daily. Heels, he adds, wert never intended for mankind, as they disturb the balance of the body, and eause it to lose its normal resiliency. But the shoe stilts seem to be here to stay. Fashions there are that re- .«emble the laws of the Medes and Persians! • • * The newly-elected Mayor of Boston is advocating the taking of steps to make the New England capital the fourth largest city in the United States. He suggests that forty sur- rounding municipalitie.s be grouped into one political division, thus giv- ing Greater Boston a population ol over two millions. They have a number of very fine suburban cities around Boston, most of them ably ruled under the town meeting system eai-rieil on with improvements, since set up by the Puritan Fathers, and ^ivic patriotism is a thrivirvg plant. 'His Worship of Boston will not easily convince them that amalgama- tion with the cosmopolitan popula- tion of his borough would be an iniprovenienl. • • • Apparently the ratepayers of Grey County were pleased with the i-c- cords of their representatives in the county council as all but one were re-elected to office. There will be thiHJC chaniges, howiever, with the election of Mr. John Ijockhart ot O.sprey to leplace .Mr. W. L. Taylor, who served as Warden of the county the past year and retired from active municipal life. .Mr. Lockhart is .ioined in Osprey reprosentali•^n by Mr. Arnold Hutchinson, Deputy-Reeve who has been in the municip.il coun- : il for the past several years. These will 1)1' the new faces seen in county iouncil this year. The council thi.-: year will consist of 38 members.

Miss -Macphail, an<l other rep- esentative-s not affiliated with the two old parties. An M.P. finds it impossible to talk back to the radio ojerator, but he can make himself heard in the national forum. * • * The late Lord Riddell, in his mem- oirs, tells of how he (piizzed Lloyd George as to who was responsible for the constitution of South Africa, freely granted by the British Gov- eiiimenl soon aftei- the end of the war, in which the Boer.s were worsted The reply of the ex-Pi'mie Minislei was that Campbell Bannerman, wh( was then at the head of the Govern- ment, deserved all the credit for tht concession. It was, explains Mr Lloyd George, "all done in a ten min- ute speech at the cabinet â€" the most dramatic, the most important ten- minute speech ever delivered in our lime. In ten minutes he brushed aside all the checks and safeguards rlevi.sed by Asquith, Winston and Loreburn. At the outset only two ol U.S were with him, John Burns ano myself. But his speech convinced the whole cabinet. It was the utter- ance of a plain, kindly, simple man. The speech moved at least one of the cabinet to tear.s. It was the most imiiressivc thing I ever saw." Cer- tainly a triumph for the Scottish statesman, who headed the Imperial Government at a critical time in the history of the nation. « « « It was announced by the Bennett Government that the radio liceivsc fee of two dollars would probably be discontinued this year. For some time this tax on the radio listeners has been a bone of contention and has been opposed by the owners of radic setts. The tax has l>een an imposi- tion and the Government has beer: urged to discontinue it for some time Why we should be forced to pay to listen to some of the clap-trap that comes over the air and then have some good program on our Canadian stations blanketed by the broad casting stations on the south of us has been beyond our knowledge of fair play and decency. Last Dec- eml>er the Canadian Radio Commis- sion stated that the station WLW would in thi-ee days stop the inter- ference to station CFRB in Toronto l>ut so far the improvement has not been nolicoable. So many adverse repoits were received by the CRC that they were forced to wake from their sleep and make a request of the controlling United States interests to stop the interference of this station. The C.R.C. is but a figure-head and its use to Canada, as at piesent constituted tei-minated after the Com- mission was appointed to office. THK PKICE OF GASOLINK (Hanover Post) The committee enquiring into Prict Spreads and Mass buying is going to pr( [>v the price of gasoline to see il any combine exists. The price in Canada is considerably higher than the prevailing rate in the United States, and, with gasoline being a commodity of general use, something that conrerns nearly every person, it is felt that the consumer should be able to purchase it al the lowest pos- sible price. While on the subject, we would like to have somebody tell us why this district should have to pay more for gas than other districts? The Diice here is consistently about six cents a gallon higher than in the Toronto district, and it hardly seems reasonable that the difference should be so great for a haul of about 100 miles. In a year's driving, motorist- 1 in this district are paying quite a I large penally because they live only a comparatively short distance fromj distribution centres. To pay 26c to â- Wc ft gallon for gasoline that can be regularly purchased in the cities foi around 20c to 22c doe.s not seem fair * HEALTH SERVICC or THE CANADIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AND LlTEl ^MSURANCE COMPANIES IN CANADA SAFE MILK WHFRK SENTIMENT COUNTS (Dundalk Herald) Theie is still sentiment in bus iness. Cynios strongly refute the statement but the fact lemains nevertheless. Busine.s-s without sent- iment i^ like milk that has gone thiough the separator and soured in the process. There is the sentiment that to be loyal to one's own community one should patronize the local stores in so far as possible, because if there were no stores here the village would b a name only. There is the .sentiment that because Jack or George or Bill is a good stamp of citizen and is al ways ready to oblige that he should be suppor<ted in businijss. Then, too sentiment stares us in the face when the lime comes that a man has cash to purchase his necessities. Should he not then consider the man who has "tided him over" when he was short? Getting closer to our own individual business, we've found considerablt sentiment in evidence when it came time for local merchants to purchase printing. It has been our pleasant experience that the merchants stand true almost to a man sticking to ll.eir local newspaper, which is one of the most potent factors in cementing a community together and through its advertisement attracting trade to the community. Numerous instances there are where aentiment plays an important part in business i-elations and business is tie richer for it, for business is es- ; entially dependent upon good-will. Si. John's Ladies' Aid PARLIAMENT NOT NEEDED Mis. T. J. Fisher was ele.'ted as Pi-esident of the Ladies' aid of St. John's United Church at the annual meeting held last week.

The Hep- burn Government has made more changes in the laws, changes in the personnel and changes in the policy of the Provincial government since their ascension to power last June, without consulting the peoples' lep- ro.se n la lives, than thoy will enact leg- islation during the coming session ot the Legislature. Why have a ses- sion at all? Why not save all that expense? That would be helping to cut the administration costs down to .'VO per cent of what they were under the Henry Government. The dicta- tors of Old Europe have nothing on Hepburn ot. al. when it comes to rul- ing without a parliament. From time to time, "e read or hear (lucslions as to the vaiu'.' of milk a- a food, and concerning the effects ot heating on its food value. It is strange that those who oppose the pasteurization of milk on the ground.- that heating changes and destroy.; its food value have no qualms about eat- ing bacon and eggs, roast beef, boiled potatoes, bread, or pie, to name but some of the cooked foods we com- monly use. Those who believe in pasteurized milk are not simply making a state- ment which they expwt lo be accep- ted without proof. The most con vincing proof is not to be found in the feeding of animals, instructive as that is, but rather in the effect which the u-se of pasteurized milk has had in cities and towrns where it has been used over a period of years. It is in such places that milkborne epidemics have disappeared, summer diarrhoeas of children are much fewer, and bo- vine tuberculosis in children is un- known. With regard to the nutritional val- ue of pasteurized milk as compared with the raw product, many tests have been made. The conclusion e^ pressed by an eminent authority at the recent meeting of the American Public Health Association was that "There is no convincing that i-aw milk, even if it were .safe, is sup- erior to pasteurized milk in infant feeding. Pasteurized milk is probably better since it is more easily digested. There ih no disadvantage in using pasteurized milk, and there is the immeasurable advantage of safety. No one can tell by looking at milk whether or not it is safe. No one can tell by the tiisle of milk whether or not disease germs are present. But when milk is pasteurized, you know that it is safe because the heat used is sufficient to kill the germs of dis- ease which may have found their way into the milk. We ai'o not suggesting that pas- teurization should be used to cover up dirty milk; indeed, we are much op- posed to this. It is only clean milk which should be pasteurized for hu- man consumption. Clean milk is de- sirable but merely clean milk is not safe; to make it safe, milk must be pasteurized or boiled. Never take a chance on milk, for one glass of raw milk may be the one which will do you harm. Conservative Not Now Testing Motor Drivers Again the hand of the Hepburn administi-ation has reached out and deprived a h>cal man of an office which he has graced for some years. Mr. Dan McTavish, Former Warden of Gi-ey County, has been issuer of motor vehicle driver's permits and has also tested drivers who wished to qualify for their first permit. Last week he i-eceived notice that his ser- vices in that legard would no longer be needed and the pliun was given to Mr. "Dick" Richards of the garage of Dowm and Richards, who will have the duty and privilege of dispensing these licenses at so muich per to a public tired of pa.ving taxes and othei tithes that are a continual drain on the already depleted pocket book.
