MeCaIium R" tetd in Civic zictions at Oshawa In a representative vote the ratepayers of the city of Oshawa returned Frank N. McCallum as Mayor in the civic elections held January 6. Mr. McCallum receiv- ed 4,456 votes against his only op- poflent Finley M. Dafoe who poil- ed 2,393. A keen contest was waged for ten council seats wlth only five of the former council returned to office. Among the new members were ex-Mayor J. A.

A by-law to authorize an> expen- diture of $880,000 for a new pub- lic. school with additions ta an- other, was defeated by a vote o! 1,883 against and 1,646 for. 6000 flEWS for HOUSEWIVES Mason Dale Announce that they will soon have on exhibition and for sale in Bowmanville the new Beatty Automatie Washer. This Is good news for house- wives because the Beatty Automatic does away wlth 95 % of the manual labor previously needcd to wash and damp-dry clothes. The only labour rcqufred to, operate the Beatty Auto- matlc Washer is that o! plac- ing the clothes In the mach- ie, adding soap and water, and turning a switch. Wlthin a few minutes the clothes will have been thoroughly wash- cd, rinsed and damp-drled, ready for hanglng on the line. The Washer even drains and eleans automatically - no soap scum to cdean out. The ncw rcvolutionary fea- turc o! tic Beatty Automnatie lu that the rlnslng and drying lu performed by hydraulle pressure. No installation coats are Ineurred in hIstaîl- lnt the washer I the home. It lu vibrationîcas and can be uscd In Uic laundry, kitchen or bathroom without any special foundation. No spec- lai plumbing or water heat- crs requlred. The washer can be attachcd to taps as easily as a garden hose; and watcr can be hcated on a stove If the home lu mot equlppcd with a watcr heater. Simple construction lu an- other feature o! the Beatty Automatic. It has less than hait the number of parts of an ordlnary wringer type washer. MASON & DAlLE 38 Kig St. E.

County Health Unit Many Counties children have already been spared life handi- caps, and in other cases by con- tinued observation and research, it has already been possible to save different communities from epidemics without these commun- ities being aware that they had ever been endangered, it was re- vealed by E. R. Woodyard4 Chair- man of the Board of Health of Northum'berland a nd Durham Counties, and by William Barr, Secretary of the Board, at the -January meeting at Cobourg. This proves in itself how this work is being done, quietly, un- seen and in many cases, unappre- ciated. Has SmaIl Surplus It was stated by Mr. Barr that the Health Unit would again en- ter the New Year carrying a sur- plus. However the amount would be somewhat less than that car- niec over from 1945. He believed the Unit would have to ope'rate another year or two before it would' 'be possible to estimate a definite operatin.g cost, as staff va- cancies have yet to be filled, and a large project such as this ne- quires cansiderable time before it can be stabilized. Lack of Nurses Regret was expressed that the conditions prevailing throughout the country regarding the scarc- ity of public bealtb nurses has gneatly handicapped the efficien- cy o! the work, and bas placed a very beavy burden on the present staff engaged in the United Coun- ties. Mn. Woadyard addecl that he couic! nat see any immediate improvement and he sincerely hoped that the public would real- ize the necessîty for co-aperating with members of the staff, as they are now doing excellent work un- der many difficulties. Improve Health Conditions When asked by the press if be thought thene was a need in the United Counties for such an or- ganization as the Health Unit, the Chairman neplied that bef are a Health Unit had been formed it was almost impossible ta intelli- gently estimate or answer sucb a question, even tbougb, the Dur- ham Federation of Agriculture bac! in co-operation with the Depart- ment of Healtb carried out a sun- vey wbich suggested the need' of such an -organization. However, now that the Health Unit had been in operation the need for it bac! been very de- finitely establishe!, samd through this mnedium, conditions bac! been revealed in these counties wbicb were indeed appalling. As many of these conditions have been pre- Ivalent for rnany years, correction overnigbt is impossible. It was explained that, the ne- sults cf rnuch cf the work of a me- dical officer, a sanitary inspector simd that cf the public bealth nurse is domethiing that cannot be seen irnrediately, and in a great many cases their valuable services are overlooked by the general public. If this work could be cornpared to tbat o! an engineer wbo designs andi drafts a new bridge on a new higbway - sornetbing whicb the public can see even in its eanly construction stages-public opin- ion would be more appreciative o! its services. Better Sanitation In commenting on the by-law wbich came inta farce in the Un- ited Counties January 1, 1947, it was stated that this was some- thîng which was gneatly needed before an effective system couic! be established in the control o! sanitary conditions in eating- bouses, tounist bornes, summer botels, etc. As in amy new type cf restriction, there will undoubt- ediy be sorne*citicism. Howev- er what rnight appear fallacy ta the casual observer is, in many cases, sometbing wbicb bas been tested and proven an essential need. 50-50 Proposition The Chairman stated that one point wbich bac! apparently been misunderstood was the fact that this was mot a project operated solely by the United Counties, but was operated on a fifty-fifty fin- ancial basis with the Provincial Department cf Health; the Coun- ty Board, wbicb is cornposed cf four members frorn the United Counties and one member fnom tbe Proivncîal Governrnent, hav- ing tbe say as'ta where anmdbow the monies sbould be spent. Con- tnary ta some beliefs, be felt after bis work witb this Board for the past two years, that the Provin- cial Departmcnt cf Health bac! been very patient and considerate towards tbese counties, and cic! nat appear desinous of cnforcing amy legislation wbicb the public did not desire unless the positive need warranted sucb action. Obituary MRS. W. J. SWAIN Grandview, Man.-Mrs. W. J. Swaim, 77, early resident of the Gramdview district, died at ber hame, Dec. 30, following failing hcalth since eanly summen. The former Lily E.

Thcy came west ta Mamitoba in 1898, settling inthe Urnatilla district simd taok up res- idence in Grandview in 1900 where she bas since rcsided.

IMPORTANT GÙVERNMENT Respecting Price Control The Wartime Prices and Trade Regulations (Order in Council P.C. 8528 of November 1, 1941) established basic period maximum prices for goods and designated services. These regulations were passed under the authority of the Wýar Measures Act and continued in force under the National Emergency Transitional Powers Act, 1945. From time to time these basic maximum prices have been varied or the frxed maximum bas been suspended in the case of particular goods and services by Orders issued by the Wartime Prices and Trade Board under the authority of the above Regulations. A few days ago a sub- stantial number of suspensions from price control was announced. Summnary of i.-- 000 * FOODS I meals. fu ie :Yeast.

Idealists arc mecessary, even if their ideais clasb with nealîty.

Let thcrn corne dowm whenc thcy be- long." During the wan Bitain took aven the entire wool crop of Aus- tralia, New Zealand, South Afri- ca.

If Mn.

Wbat would bave been the ne- suît cf that policy on wheat then and wool now? We would for a trne bavé increased gneatly the consumption o! wbeat. The big surplus would bhave been dissi- Peted. It would flot bave been available for post-war needs. We migbt have 'been short during the war.
