The wells which supply the. town are not providing sufi‘i- cient water for the present needsd Ever since these wells were drilled, the supply has been gradually di- minishing. The ‘situation reached an acute stage in the last few days as a result of which a special meet~ ing of the Public Utilities Commis~ .sion was held when it was decided to obtain expert advice just as soon as possible to locate an authority on matters of this nature. It was alsn decided to notify the public of the seriousness of the situation, asking all water users to conserve water and to prevent waste. The demand for water has greatly in- creased lately. due principally to larger amounts being used by the C. N. R.â€"â€"-Spectator.

M. 121 Hospitai to: Sick (31:5!!an Most of your readers are well mare of the wonderful service which-the Hospital tor‘Sick Chil- 'lren in Toronto is enabled to per- form through the generosity of its friends. During the Christmas season the Hospital appropriately makes its annual appeal for the funds necessary to carry on the work throughout the new year. Now is the time to give tangible ex- pression to the feeling of good-will which “The Sick Kids” Hospitalâ€" Dear Mr. Editor: â€" as it is familiarly calledâ€"has won‘ for itself in every part of this province. The magnitude 0: the Hospital’s task continually enlarges. , In it; little blue cots there are always nearer three hundred than two hundred youngsters being tenderly ushered back to health and strength. For every patient a dollar a day must be secured through veluntary contributions which adds up to at least $100, 000 for each year of the hospital’s ministry. Its service, however, is not con- tined to its own four walls. Note these arresting facts. The infant mortality rate in Ontario is 78.6. while in Quebec it is 142. In our towns and cities the loss of infant life is less than half what it is in the sister province. Now, for On- tario's priceless advantage, one out- standing reason is the maintenance by public benevolence of a world- famous provincial institution dedi- cated to the care of the on-coming generation. An entire department of the Hospital for Sick Children is devoted to the care of babies under one year of age. Here every aid which medical science can devise is extended to, help the tiny patients through the first hard round in their struggle for existence. Familiarity with the methods here employed is an invaluable asset to doctors and nurses enlistâ€" ing for service in the homes of the province. Thus is the childhood or even the most remote community within the compass of the wide- spread ministration of the Hospital for Sick Children benefitted. [t is indeed a work for humanity which deserves cordial remembrance at "hristmas time. Faithfully yours, IRVING E. ROBERTSON.

So THE DURHAM CHRONICLE OTHER PAPERS’ OPINIONS a feature that would scarcely pass unobserved. In the Judging compe- titions and in the parade of the 465 boys. guests of the Ontario Govern- ment, there was a strong represen- tation of Ontario farm youth, and it is on this foundation that bigger things for the future are now being built. Every forward looking policy recognizes the Junior Farmers and the Junior Institutes "as the medium through which every big advance in agriculture will be achieved. All the young mengand young women need is an opportunity to see what can be done, what has been done, and what ispossibl‘e t‘or_them to do. The presence of the Junior Farm- ers at the Royal Agricultural Win- ter Fair during the first week was The Premier of Ontario and the! Minister of Agriculture stressed the" same message to the farm boys at the “Royal" namely, that there are splendid Opportunities in agricul- ture, and that farming presents good chances for success, both as a business and as a means through which to make some contribution to public service. The Prime Minister urged the bOys to hold their heads high and go back home. with the1 knowledge that farming is an honor- able occup'ation; and he exhorted them to respect themselves and the industry so as to elevate it in the eyes of the world at large to the status it deserves.
