MAY l7th. 1934 Ratepayers' Association Want Incinerator The installation of an incinerator at Jackmans Dump is a project now untier consieration by the town council. anti the council has the support of the Ratepayers' Association in making the suggestion a reality. We are quite in agreement with the neeti anti the apparent value of an incinerator to the municipality, but wbether t is feasible 10 carry il out at this lime, anti whether there really is a public demanti for it. is questionable. At the last meeting of the Ratepayers' Association the matter was brought up as a suggestion f rom the Management Comxittee anti .was unanimously passeti. Between flfty and sixty people were present at the meeting, anti aIl apparently in f avor of such an untiertaking. but do 50 or 60 people constitute a tiemand, anti can that number be saldt 1 be representative of the town in general? There are several factors to consîaer, f oremost among lhemn the factor of finance. Even if il were agreeti by a majonity o! the taxpayers, bow is the work to be accomplisheti witbout capital expentii- ture, anti how much capital expenditure can the town stand? Overspending in the past has placed the town in a precarious financial position on more than one occasion, anti the Finance Committee bas o! ten wondered just how much longer the banks would consent to give the town credit. Close atten- tion 10 the collection of tax arrears however bas placeti the tow,ýn cn a sountier footing. In the erection of an incineî'ator the first factor would be the cost. To stand the intense heat neces- sary for the burning of refuse. it woulti be necessary 10 builti witb f ire brick, anti we untierstanti that none are manufactureti in Canada. We f urther untier- stand that t0 import thema to this country woulti bring the' cost up 10 about $70 per thousanti, anti only a medium sizeti incinerator would require at least 5000 brick. The first cost of $350 would be only for br'ick, anti atditional would be the labor anti upkeep. Then again il would seem neceessary 1e have a man on tiuty at the incinerator at all times, anti here again the cost woulti mount up, prob- ably beyonti the taxpayers' capacity 10 pay. Il woulti be reasonable 10 suggest that it would require baîf a milI per year for upkeep anti attend- ance, anti we are doubtful whether taxpayers of the town will stand for any addition 10 their mnill rate. With these things in mind we ask whether il is feasible 10 erect an incinerator aI Ibis time. The town presents a splendid health report and there seems 10 be no big public demanti. other than that of the Ratepayers' Association. Probably the best way t0 find out wbal the taxpayers really feel on the malter woulti be 10 ask the question at the next municipal election. anti abitie by what the majoritr of the voters favor. The Art of Public Speaking Last Fritiay night pupils o! the junior anti senior fourth !ormis of Central Public School stageti a very creditable oraloî'ical contesl under the auspices o! that fine organization, the Home anti Scbool Club. mhe encouragement o! public speaking is a worlh- while endeavour, but only wben il covers the f ieldi in a tborough manner. In these days of broatieneti liv- ing it is almost an absolute neces-sity te be able te constructively place one's thoughts.befone others, if you are to keep abreast o! the limes anti o! current thougbt anti opinion. Silence may be golden, but the man or woman who sits back anti neyer says any- tbing seltiom gels anywhere in Ibis worlti. There is fan more t0 public speaking than the average person realizes. Grenville Kleiser in bis book on the Art of Public Speaking tells of the at- tainmnents that must go with a successful speaker. Many of us will be surprisedte 10fînt that perfect health is the finsl andi mosl important neeti o! those who would attain some success in oratoiy. Mi. Kleiser ativises a negular course o! morning exeî'cises 10 expanti the lungs, produce regularily o! breathing, anti ease o! appearance. Pew cf us realize that behinti every successful speaker is consitienable train.ing othex' than the £lever composition of wonds. phrases anti sentences. He must be able te breathe in a maniner %vbich will make bis flow o! speech easy. He must stand in a Position o! ease, which really gives him poise anti appeanance, se thal the uttenance o! vital lacis will be emphasizeti bi the bcdily stanti. We recently hearti a Torontîo Univ ersityI rofes.--or lecture on PtîbliC Speaking anti he enumerateti the many obviously nei'vous lhings an untraineti speaker does. Some place their bands in Ihein pockets. otheis troughout the course oif an address play with somne- thing on the table before them. while many otheis constantly run their handstslhnougb their bain, or somre olhe' s uch unconscious act. wbich tienotes the speaker who lacks training. Public speaking then, is more than just a matter o! beir.g able to expres.s oneseif in wvords. it is a bealtby exercise. the prepar- ation for whîch emibodies mnany principles involved in the pi'ouer r.urttîie o! the human body. Is a Town Solicitor Needed ? At the next meeting of the Tow,ýn Council a by-law- wvill te inltroduceti for bbe appointment o! a Town Solicitor, an cEfre ,%-ieh bas net been filîct i snce the deatb 0f D, Btîrke Siimp!on, K.C. In the inteiin the town .isee.m.s te have gollen along yeny well witb- out a tewiî souicier, but whethcir recent events ne- quiî'e the attention of a s>olicitor appointeti by the yean, is the mnalter whicb mnembers o! the Council must tbink Out for Ibemrselves. Thene seLms to bc much tifference of -,iinion as t0 wbat the Public Utilities Commission. the Scbool Boards,, and ti lei civic bodies are perînittedtie1 do wvithout con.zultii:g the town counicil. This matter bas becn broutig foncibly to the fore by the naising o! the hydrant rate by te Utilities Commission without firsl ccnsýulting the lown counicil. Wbetbeir it %vould be chcaper for the town te have a competent legal iepnesentative give bis attention te all contentiotîs malIens in the course o! the year at a set salary. or whether it would represent a sav- ing to cail a lawyer only wvhen needeti, is what the council must decide. It is unfortunate that in Bow- manville a member of the council cannot give ativice despite the fact that he may represent the legal pro- fession. In cases in connection ivith the Utilities Commission. it woulcl of course be difficult for the Mayor to givc an opinion. Other municipalities are faced with the same legal situations as Bowmanville, and were we tc, follow the leati of Darlington. Clarke, Hope, Port Hope, and other mtinicipalities, we would not deem Lit necessary to appoint a town solicitor. However. it is a question that has merits on both sides. and members of the council are elected foi' the express puî'pose of deciding important factors, solely in the interests of the town and its taxpayers who wvill have to foot the bill. Goodwill Day in the Schools To-morrow. Frîday. May l8th. is Gootivill Day, anti school chiltiren ail over the worîti are drawin dloser in a commoh tiesire for a better understanding of one anotheî'. rZgartiless of nationality or creeti, or color. Nol only on Goodwill Day shouldti Iis inter- national spirit be fostereti but on every day in the year s0 that the generation growing up may be f ree from race hatreti, intolerance anti fear that have led 10 war in the past. On Friday, the value of the League o! Nations 10 the worlti will be discusseti, ils covenant, how iltidoes ils work anti what il bas tione. Peace in the home, through reverence of parents. gooti temper. useful- nesa. honesty, peace in the school, peace in the Na- tion, anti the futility o! war, will also be among tbe subjects discusseti. A special message 10 Canadian chiltiren is Ibis year forwardedti 1 cvery boy anti girl in every country in the world. This gootiwill message reatis: 'From our litîle lanti o! poetry anti song, we, the boys anti girls o! Wales, greet you. the boys anti gir'ls of every countr'y untier the sun. 'We ar'e Ibrilledti 1 know that tbrough the air our greeling can î'eacb you.

Let us make our dreamis come Irue." Are Cadets Military ? The annual inspection o! the cadet corps o! Il, Bowmanville Public anti High Scbools again bring. up the question of wbether these cadets constitule military organization. On Ibis point, opinion i sharply divitiet. We are inclinedti 1thIe view tha Ihere is litIle chance o! boys becoming imbueti witl a militaristic spirit because o! being members o! tht cadet corps, because the amount o! lime spent or cadet work each year is abnmost insignificant. Frorî the viewpoint o! training the boys in discipline, selfi control, $>l.eland physical exercises, cadet training . an excellent thlng. It may be angued that theu things can be taught in other ways. by other methoti. but experience bas shown that the cadet system iL very effecive in acomplishing the.se objects. On the other banti. there are strong arguments in !ax'oi'o! the contention thal the cadet organizalion is military in ils purpose. The use of rifles by bhe cadets is one factor wbich strengtbens the case of those opposedti 1 cadet traiing. Beverly Nicbols in bis boôk -Cry Havoc" stresses Ibis point. Here is what be says: -When 1 see a rifle I see somnething which is tiesigneti foi' one purpose anti on.hy one purpose- 10 kitl. To propel a bullel mbt the bearî, lungs. eyes or any otheî' portton o! the analomy you may chose, wilh fatal results.

It is simply anti solely a methoti o! killing." Thal is a bard argument 10 combat-because il Lt pefecly true. anti il shows that there really are two sities 10 Ibis subject o! cadet training, each of lhem wiîh stroiîg points in their favor. An Unsigned Letter Unsiigneci letters are the bane of a publisher's ex- istence. No matter how great the tiesire to give publiciy tb al! viexys receivedtihe lne must be tiraw,ýn at mo.st anonymnous missives. But here is one wbhich appeaieti in the Kiwanis Magazine which can be î'egarded, as an exception 10 the rifle, foi' tbe timely inspiation it ccntains. Il reatis: -Yesîentiay moî-ning 1 saw a boy, a very ordinary anti quite iagged boy, down on bis knees alongside a concrete highway near Hope, Arkansas. He was scbbing anti crying. A!ongszide the boy was the linp iemains o! a big white tiog. The piclure tbrew me off!mi stritie foi' the entine day.
