Thus the objective of devaioping social con- scicuaness and diracting efforts in- te useful amploymant is ampiy met. Boys Net ta Blame *Mr. Eastaugh told that 90 par cent cf the boys coming under wardsbip are found to ba beys who have bean deprived cf nor- mal home lifa such as homes bro- ken by desertions, quarreling, parental negiect and poverty. En- dowad with normal instincts wbich ara daniad them in thase circumstancas it was natural that these undarpriviieged boys sbould saek an outiat for energias on the street. Coming under the influ- ence of eider beys and gangs it becomes finally necessary for the stata to repair its ommissions and set up wardship as in these schools. Criticisma Heard Mr. Eastaugh deait briefly with criticisms beard concerning the Beys' Training Schools. Soe people asked why thase ex-pen- sive and splendidly fittad schoois should be provided for what tbay caîl "bad" boys wban so many schools nead modernization te ac- commodate beys who nevar gat into trouble. In other words, "good achools for bad boys and bad schoois for good boys." mANNSs 1s1s PECAN PIECES" The speaker deit with* this shortsighted view by pointing out that if these Boys' Training Schools were not in existence and these boys were allowed to roam at large and left to their own de- vices, the costs for police and courts and new buildings for de- tention would absorb a tremen- dous share of the national income and add greatly to the national tax burden. Aside froni that a11 such criticisms were completely deviod of the human element and every social consideration. Christmas Concert Andy Thompsor± moved the vote of thanks with words of apprecia- tion for the great work carried on by the staff of the Boys' Training School. Vern Ott, former Secre- tary of the Lions Club and form- er instruetor at the school, was an interested visitor. Business included plans for en- tering a team in the inter-club Volîcybali League. Ray Dilling gave an account of the Christmas Seal Drive and showed p~terestin.g films pertaining to the fIght again- st T.B. Alex McGregor gave a complete resume of plans for the Lions Christmas Concert te be held in Trinity United Church, Wednes- day, Dec. 17. The artists include some of the best musical talent in Canada. Tickets are on sale at 50d each and should be secured early since a sellout is anticipated before the date of the concert. Pedestrian deaths rise in the winter because of the longer per- îod of darkness, warns the Ontar- io Department of Hîghways. When driving, watch out for the walker who may not be watching eut for himself. And when walking, watch out for the driver who may not be watching out for you! Most people won't bet except on a good thing. Yet thousands of motorists and pedestrians take foolhardy chances to'save a min- ute, and wager ail the millions of minutes they might otherwise ex- pect to live through. It's a suici- dal gamble.

In order to have thc costs as accurate as possible this should be dofte and'would, therefore, increase the cost par unit beyond the- present figure of $5,635.38. A detalled list oe± nonies on deposit is given on Sehedule "IB" and lias been prepared for me by responsible Town officiais. Ail costr. for materlal and sub-contAct work have been seub- stantiated by proper vouchers shewing delivery cf goods or ser- vice.4direo~te the projeet. Itrmust be assumad, however, thatail - charges were consuined on the project and flot transferred to any other work.j.nder construction. The method ef reporting the time consumed by the workmen whiie on the project and the rates cf pay thereon were tested by me. This system included the com'piling cf daiiy time records by the foreman in charge and sent te the sub-offcq cf the Company in Bowmanviile. However, as thare were othi works, viz., the sewaga disposai plant and service mains, in--process no definite check by mne on the aztual time spent by each man can be definitely esta*blisbad, betwcen prejects. It was necessary in this case te raiy entiraiy upoti the foreman cf each job for the proper allocation cf aach man's time. Prom my audit of the records it saams reascnabie that the tima charged te the Housing Project is correct. The Minutas pertaining te this projact wera very iimitad and it was, tharefora, in rnany instances impossible to verify or substantiatft tha dealings betwaan the Committea, the Building Inspector and the Toronto Construction Corporation Limited. I could oniy rely upon the mamory cf thosa involved and can oniy surmise that information wvich should have bean given in answer te my quastioning bas not bean overiooked or omittad. .It wou:d seani frorn the examination made that thame was a certain amount cf camaiassness on the part cf ail parties connacted with the housing Pmojact. As far as I can asçatain ne proper report was made upon the changés in design as oiginally planned, ne direct or constant supervision cf the* prejeet was made, nor was there any evidance on the part of the construction company in keaping the costs in lina with their original estimate or inform- ing the Comimittee from lime te tima the incrcased cost over the original tender prica. The cost on the average for each unit e--aeded the original astimata by neariy 50% as follows: Original cest as per tender 3,737.50 Cest cf Land 50.00 Total astimated coat 3,787.50 Approximateiy 50% increasa in cozl 1,847.88 Actufal cost at present time 5,635.38 Lassa Slling price as aranged 4,000.00 Loss te Town per unit 1,635.38 The charges rmade by the Toronto Construction Corporation Lmmitad for ovarbead expenses and profit wera computed as fol- lows: 10% and 5% cf $3,250-00 as par tender 487.50 10 c%' and 5 % cf total extras and changes in units not detàiled in tender 36.79 Total Charges par unit (average) Total charges for completed project 524.29 9,437.28 It wili ha noted froni the foregobng that the 10% for overhead and 5% for profit on extras amounted te $36.79 par unit, and therafore the extras amountad te ap4,roximately $250.00 par unit. Taking the basis of $3,250.00 as par tha tender, plus $250.00 for extras, plus ovarhead and profit cf $524.29, the total coat wouid then bave been $4,024.29, exclusive of land par unit. It would appear, tharefore, that appmoximately $1,500.00 cf the final cost par unit is due te increasad labor and matarial cest and bacause the tender was made at a price lower than the con- tract could possibly have bean executad, after considering the tume clament and other factors praviously mentiened. The accounts as submitted by the Toronto Construction Cor- poration Limited searnite ha in ordar and the amount cf $4,865.81 outstanding at presant is awaiting the approval of the Committea and Inspector.

Ivan W@olhy WIns Durham County TftU Oratorical Contest Ivan Woofley, age 13, son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Woolay, 50 Queen St., was the winner of the Durhamn County Finals of tha Public School Oratorical Contest held in Blackstock Town Hall Friday, Nov. 17. Ivan was one of 18 semi - finalists from public schools throughout the county and his speech, which is printed be- low, was prepared by himself with the guidance of his teacher, Mr. M. Slute- The judges, ail outsiders,- ware Chas. 'E. - Stephenson, M.P., Port Hope, Miss Hetherington, Mill- brook, Russell Manning, Cobourg, and two officiais from Oshawa, selected by School Superintendent T. M. McEwen. Second priza was given to Glenn Ridgood, Ida, whose address was titled "Beach- wood, My School Grounds." Ivan's speech is an excellent composition shewing clear thought and practical knowladga of bis subjeet. Prom reading the daily nawspa- pers during the past summar, we are ail aware cf the many deaths right here in Ontario, due te drowning. Many cf these lives couid easily have been saved if thosa involved had knownmore about swimming, safaty precau- tiens, and artificial respiration. It is surprising to learn of the number of people who have nev- er learned to swim, particuiarly among the aduits. However, it is graduaily being feit new by our parents and sports organizations, that avery growing boy and girl should know how te swim, if only for a few yards. Net enly is it a worth-wbila recreation, but might at any tima mean the difference between our lifa or that of soma- oe ease, being savad or lost. In learning te swim ail you have te do at first is try te swim like a dog, as if crawling slowly along in the water. Don't try ail at once te swim with the ordinary braast stroke that swimmers use, becau.se this only lets your mouth go under water avery tima. When paddling along like a clog, gat a friend te support you at first with a poe, or bis band under your stomach. Any of you who cannet swim as yat, and who fall into the water eut of your depth, remembar that you need net sink if yeu take cara te do the foilowing things: 1. Keep your mouth upwards by threwing the haad weil back. 2. Kaep your lungs fuillcf air by taking in long breaths, but breathe eut very littie. 3. Keap yeur arms under water. To do this you should net begin te sbout, whicb wiil only ampty your lungs, neither shouid you throw yeur arms about or beckon Mor halp, else you will sink. A moacrate swimmer can save a drowning man if he krnôws how, and has practised it a few times with bis friends. The popular idea that a drewning persen rises thraa times bafore he finally sýinks is ail nonsense. Ha often drowns at once, unless someene is quick to, halp him. The important point is net te let the drowning parson catch hold of yeu, or he wbll preb- ably drown yeu, tee. Keep bahind hini always. If you find yoursaelf ciutchad by the wrist, turn your wrist against his thumb, and force yoursaif free. Your bast way in halping a Idrowning persen is te kaap behind and hold him up 'by the elbows, or by the back cf the nack, until o raach shore. When you hava him eut of the water bagin performing iartifîcial respiration. In speaking of artificial respira- i tien, again we hear of many lives baing foolishly lest, simply be- cause those at hand de net know the preper methed of carrying this eut. Aise the doctors tell us that soe patients have died only because artificial respiration has net been centinued long aneugh on the persen. One shouid knew that the patient's lungs have be- cerne fiilad with watar, and that it is necessary te ramoe that watar and replace it with air by trying soe artificial means of making courses, but we should at laast know a littia about swimming, the precautions te takçe wbiie near water, and the general method cf carrying out artificial respiration. Motorists are raminded by the Onitario Department cf Highways that the winter i% -a littie more' season. A littie more watchful- ness for the surface condition of roads and streets. A littie more following distance between your car and the one ahead. A flttle more promptnass in beginning te appiy brakes when it's sllppery. And a little more attention te, the conditions cf brakes, lights, wind- shield and your car *in general. Thesa little extras may mean a lot more safety.
