THURS., OCTOBER 29th, 1931 THE HAILEYBURIAN Page 7 Disputes Levy ' of Over 25 Mills * in Years Taxes Cobalt Ratepayer Says Council Exceeded Authority and Declines Payment * Can a town council levy a rate of more than 25 mills for general purposes without the approval of the Ontario Railway and Muni- cipal Board? The Cobalt town fathers say yes, in certain cir- cumstances, and S. H. Touran- geau, north-end ratepayer, claims not, and cites The Municipal Act in support of his contention. And he declines to pay at the greater rate. This year, Cobalt's tax rates are 74 mills for public schooi supporters, and 117 mills for separate school suppotrers, of whom Mr. Tourangeau is one. Of these, 38 mills are for general purposes, and council, when the question arose at Monday's reg- ular meeting through the medium of a letter from Mr. Tourangeau, asserted, through Mayor R. L. O'Gorman, that it was understood arate sufficient to meet liabilities must be set. Mr. Tourangeau will be noti- fied to this effect. In his letter to the council, he stated he was in receipt of his tax bill for 1931, noted the figures of the general rate, quoted from the statute that, aparently, this rate was ille- gal, and intimated he would pay his taxes, but less the amount represented by 13 mills. Council instructed the town clerk to let him know its members' views, and to tell him 38 mills was the rate for this phase of its financial requirements.

GRANT FLEMING? M.D. DOES YOUR CHILD SEE? When a child is blind in both eyes, the condition is, of course, recognized. There are many children, however, who have de- fective sight, which fact is un- known to their parents. That this is so is evidenced by the number of children entering the schools, who are found by school physicians to have defective eye- sight. The good work done by the school health service. does not provide for the pre-school child, or for the child who attends a school where there is no school physician or nurse. A child should be able to rec- ognize a picture or object one- half inch square at twenty feet. Each eye is tested separately, one eye being covered with a card during the test of the other. For near vision, a picture book may be used. If there is any apprec- iable defect in either eye, whether 3 wins apiece, followed by Hill, Tuke and Seymour with 2 wins and 1 less each. An effort is being made to run a section B class in the club, con- sisting of beginners and those former players who feel they are badly out of practice, and to this end a meeting is being held to- night (Thursday) in the Hailey- bury Hotel, at which time those men who would care to learn the game will have an opportunity of getting initiated into its "myster- ies", and a cordial invitation is extended to them to be present. Naturally the determination to proceed with the idea will depend on those present. fiealth Service Ganadian Medical Association OF THE Edited*by ~ ASSOCIATE SECRETAR for near or distant vision, the family physician should be con- sulted. Ea Cross-eye is a condition whl is frequently neglected becau of the parents' ignorance as to its significance. Children with this condition should be placed under medical care without delay. A crosk-eyed child sees dow le. This causes confusion and so the mind trains itself to pay attention only to the image that comes to it through the straight eye. This results in one eye's being devel- oped througg use and the other's becoming useless because it 1s not used. Unless the condition is treated early, the child loses the use of one eye and is actually blind in that eye. If the child is treated between two and three years of age, the most or all of his vision can be saved; the longer treat- ment is delayed, the more vision is lost. Cross-eye is a condition which does not correct itself. Children do not grow out of it. If the child is placed sitting, facing the parent, an arm's length away, with one eye covered by the parent's hand, and is made to look at the parent's nose with the uncovered eye, the parent will find that, on uncovering the other eye, it is either looking at the nose, which means that cross- eye is present, or that it moved in or out, or remained crossed in or out, which is evidence that cross-eye is present. Your children will appreciate, in later years, the care you give now to this special organ.

LBOURDAIS Director, Division of Education, Canadian National Committe for Mental Hygiene MENTAL PATIENTS INCREASE 1804 DUR- ING PAST YEAR Figures Just Compiled by Canad- ian National Committee Show 30,896 Patients in Canadian Mental Hospitals According to figures compiled by Dr. H. B. Spaulding, Director of the Division of Statistics and Legislation, The Canadian Na- tional Committee for Mental Hy- giene, there were 30,896 patients in 36 Canadian mental institu- tions on January first, 1931.

During the year, 8,899 persons were admitted to mental institutions, and 5,313 were discharged either as cured or considerably improved. Deaths in these institutions during 1930 totalled 2,115. Ontario has the greatest num- ber of institutions--thirteen--and also the most patients--10,112. Quebec comes next with seven institutions and 8,457 patients. The greatest number in any one institution is 3,890 at St. Jean de Dieu Hospital, Montreal, while Essondale, B.C., comes next with 2,515 patients. Dealing with figures in this way, one has difficulty in seeing the men and women they repre- sent; and it is also difficult to re- alize the amount of misery and anguish, to say nothing of the wasted effort and economic loss, that are entailed in the with- drawal from the community of such a large number of persons. But when one realizes that the mental hospital population of Canada, if brought together, would constitute a fair-sized city some idea of the immensity of the problem can be grasped. It is obvious that the financial strain can not be borne by the community indefinitely. The only alternative hope is preven- tion; and for this much more re- Acid Stomach Completely Relieved by Famous Vegetable Pills Mr. Frank C., of Blackburn, writes: "I have suffered long from acid stomach and constipation, but since being ad- vised to try your wonderful Carter's Little Liver Pills I can eat anything."
