He presented a mo- tion to the effect that the Chief be requested to appear at the next meet- ing and explain his action in con- nection with rarids made on January 7, 16 and 17. Ald. Walker said he was in favor of the enforcement of the O.T.A. and the police were justi- ed in using reasonable methods in that enforcement, but he did not be- lieve in unreasonable methods being: adopted. During the last two weeks no less than gigvht raids and searches had been made, without any results. ..,{\ respectable citizen was seized in '-' llandale and searched, as well as rsiu-bjected to indignities without any apparent suspicion other than that he was a stranger to the police.

N report of the Christmas Cheer Committee was presented by A. G. MacLeIlan and showed that $381 had been spent. 258` had been made happy by the receiving of Christmas rifts. Professor Greaves pictured the effort involved in a public address, and pointed out the faults usually met with, exemplifying them in his own words to the amusement of those who heard him. Tone colour is the _I_n_os`t spontaneous of all modu- lations and is the most perverted and neglected. This is due to the neglect of the development and ex- pression of imagination and emotion. All modulations of voice and body should be used as means to an end, never as an end in themselves. The purpose for which they should be used is the`~ ~...expression of thought and feeling: as simply and feelingly as possible. The modulation of the voice and body are not things that can be acquired and put away for public exhibition. They are con- tinually with us, and it is the habitual modulation of voice and body that we are always using, to express: personality. The impres- sion most people have of us is pro- duced by these habitual modulations of voice and body; the way we walk and look and say things which in themselves may be of the most trival importance. l'\ 1 ....e..._.;,..

The speaker should not only get people to think, he should get them to feel and create an atmosphere in which they will want to think and feel. Public speaking` has been dened as the ex- pression .of thought through person- ality, and a great philosopher once said that man has nothing to give to his fellowmen but himself.

It was always advisable when one has anything; to say, to get up bold-ly, say it and sit down. Public speaking demands the harmonious work of mind, voice and body. There are all closely bound togeuther. The cause o-f much poor speaking is that whatever mental effort the speaker may have put into the pre- gparation of his address, when he `comes to its delivery he allows fear,- nervousness and self consciousness _ to interfere with mental activity.

A number of petty thefts have oc- curred in town lately, which are puzzling` the police to a certain ex- tent.
