Wa -- v The Civic Property Committee debated the advisability of at- 'tempting to get the Dionne quintuplets to live in the $1,700,600 "Casa Loma for eight months in the year. Should such a scheme prove feasible, it was argued, space in the fest of the empty castle --could easily be rented by the city to restaurants, shops and film companies. It was felt that no difficulty would be encountered in renting these quarters because of the hundreds of thousands of tourists who would be drawn to the spot from all corners of the globe. The Dionne quintuplets belong to the North, and will never go to live in any empty Toronto castle, even if it did cost $1,700,000 to build, Dr. A. R: Dafoe declared in Callander.

To Pet or Not to Pet. is Lecturer's Topic Never mind how well your girl looks in shorts--it is much more im- portnat to know how well she gets on with her family, advised D. G, Me Cullagh, of the University of Toronto, in an address on premarital relations, C. A,, in Toronto, recently. Don't marry the first person with whom you fall in love; don't per- mit long-drawn-out engagements, but pop the question whether you are a man or girl, and whatever. your re- lations with one another, never lose self-respect, were other bits of advice. "Most men," he delared, "are sel- fish." "A man will willingly take five, six or even ten years out of a girl's life without the slightest intention of marrying her--takes her to hockey matches, dafices, pets and necks with- out ever-once declaring what the out- come will be," he said. "If any of you young ladies here tonight are going through such an experience, for heaven's sake ask him at once, and if he says he has no more intention of marrying you than jumping in the lake, say 'farewell, farewell!"" As for the man who spends more than he can afford on a girl, but re- fuses to "go Dutch" with her, he was displaying a misplaced sense of chivalry .which unfortunaely was sel- dom carried over into married life, he said. = As for "petting" and "recking", he said he had always believed that "pet- ting" preceded " necking" until he had read The Globe and Mail's Fourth Column, and discovered that J. V. Mec- Aree decreed "petting" was the more serious step. At any rate, he said, this conten- tious subject was up to the individual to decide; but that "most men, worthy of the rame of men, prefer a wife who has not been counter-soiled with too much handling, and most women arc not as thrilled by the possessive neck- ing cave-men as he thinks they are." Women should not tolerate "being mauled after a party as a sort of pay- ment because he paid all the bills" and men who maintained that their person. al conduct was of no concern to others should remember that "any individual separated from his fellowmen is an abstraction." On the whole, however, said Mr. Mc- Cullagh, he believed youth of today was fundamentally sound". As an example of the constant fears of elders for youth, he quoted Peter the Hermit, who wrote in 1074: "Young people of today think of nothing but themselves. they have no teverence for parents or old age. They are impatient of re- straint. And ag for girls they are forward, immodest, unywomarly in be- havior and in dress." «Tha Globe and Mail, "necking" and "petting" at the Y. M:| Ontario Hydro Shows Surplus Cost of Power Purchased Is Five Million Dollars Lower The Financial Post Increased revenue and lower op- erating expenses enabled the Hydro Electric Power Commission of Ontario to report a surplus of. $14,704, after all charges, ir: the year ended Oct. 31, 1936, compared with a deficit of $2.9 millions in the 1934-35 fiscal year, Operating revenues for 1935-36 at than in the previous year and opera- ting expenses at $14.7 millions were $4.3 millions lower so that net oper- ating income was $56.2 millior.s higher. The reduction in operating expenses is entirely due to the gancellation and revision of contracts with Quebec pow- er concerns, the amount expended on power purchased being over $56 mil- lions lower than in- 1934-35. The u- mount spent on power purchased in 1936-36 was slightly more than $4 millions, This item will probably show ar increase in the current- year as a result of the new contracts 'made with Ottawa Valley Power, Maclaren, Quebec Power and Gatineau Power. "The inéreade in" cost of 'power pur? chased will, of course, be offset td sonie extent at least by increased operating revenues. Aa The actual improvement on the year's operations is shown better by reference to ret income which at $6.9 millions is $56.1 millions higher than 1934-36. From net income a larger provision was made for sinking fund and an appropriation of $1.9 million made for a rate stabilization. '~ No. provision for rate stabilizatior. was made in 1934-36. 3 BLACKSTOCK Miss Helen VarnCamp spent the M. Smith. The April meeting of the W.
