Talk about your "great" menâ€"rubâ€" bish! The only really great men in Canada toâ€"day are the ordinary folk, people like you and myself, for the Canada does not want a selfâ€"elevated "Great Man" to snatch control and dominate her people with dazzling eloquence, shining armour and an iron rule. But what Canada does need, and needs in mass quantity, is just a plain commonâ€"sense individual whio fills his niche in the nation adequately, pulis his weight without complaining, and cultivates that mental stability that is the very backbone of his country. And that‘s not an easy job. It‘s a manâ€" sized task. And, remember, it only needs a sufficient number of "ordinary‘" men to lose their grip and grow tired of their civic responsibilities for a firstâ€" class explosion to occur.

Signed Statement Disappeared A letter from the court stenographer explain@d that the statement typed out lby Private Detective Robert Allen and | signed by Miss Lorraine McMillan, town stenographer, had disappeared from the home of the court stenographer during the time when the evidence taken at the enquiry was being typed out. "I feel it may.have been taken out of my desk," she said. This statement, alâ€" though never read aloud in court, was read by the judge when produced by S. A. Caldbick, solicitor for the town, ard a certified copy of it was sent to the judge with the typed evidence. Democracy is apparently on the deâ€" cline and is in grave darger of utter ccllapse.

Councillor Laporte summed up his attitude toward the whole affair in these words: "If it is a case of alleged inefficiency, then we can consider that any time, but if it is a case of the alâ€" leged malfeasances, then I think we should confine ourselves to the present enquiry. Otherwise we‘ll be a court of law indefinitely. As I see it now, we must settle the question in order to exonerate the police. Otherwise we reâ€" the whole question."

Sashin, New York, in Archives of Surgery, Chicago, in speaking of the treatment of these low back cases, sugâ€" gests that the patients be put under an aratsthetic, and after putting this lower part of the spine into its normal position or "curve," a plaster jacket be applied to hold it there. In the lower back this causes pain from pressure on the nerve root supâ€" plying the hip and leg and so pain in the hip and legeâ€"sciaticaâ€"frequently results. one below itâ€"get separated from one another, and as this is a joint like any other joint, an arthritisâ€"inflammation of the jointâ€"may result. Naturally the muscles around this little joint in an effort to "protect" the joint become *pastic, or a spasm occurs. A tensed or strained muscle is painful. Sometimes the front part of the dis: may be pressed down more than the back part, which might occur in the upâ€" per back due to tuberculosis or in the lower back due to a heavy or protruding abdomen. This means that the little facetsâ€"where one spine bone joins the Now as these discs are really cushions to take the jar off the spinsâ€"the shock of the bodyâ€"if they can be kept from being flattened too much, or given a short time to bulge back to the width or depth they are after a night‘s rest, it will take that much jar or shock off the whole nervous system. The reason for this relaxed or rested feeling was that the little round discs or cushions of fibrous elastic tissue situated ‘between the bones of the spine get pressed or flattened down during the day to such an extent that one may be as much as one inch shorter at night than in the morning. By hanging by the neck, or hanging on the rings, the spine bones get separated and so thess discs between the spine bones get a chance to enlarge to their normal size again. By James W. Barton, M.D.. Toronto The Shkeck Absorbers cof the: Body A number of years ago, in trying to correct a low shoulder, round shoulders, sway back, and spinal curvature, I had the pnatients hang on rings, one of which was higher than the other, or simply hang by their arms from a horiâ€" zontal bar. On coming down from the apparatus, many of them would say, "That hanging seems to relax, to rest On Sunday last Rev.

Pelchat, of Our Lady of Protection Church, in Noranda. Some years ago Rev. Fr. Sowinski was on* of the assistant priests to Rev. Fr. O‘Gorman of the Church of the Nativiâ€" ty, Timmins. Rev. Fr. Sowinski was born in Poland, but came to Canada while quite young, his family ‘settling in the Belle Valley district of Temiskaâ€" ming, northeast of New Liskeard. Mrs. H.

Councillor Laporte asked that a copy of the judge‘s report be made for each councilior, then said it should be pubâ€" lished in the newspapers, and would prcbably be right there. The mayor said he fourd "most of the mistakes‘" in newspaners "are intentional." (The mayor can only speak for his own newspaper).

Of "this $32,555 was written off for architect‘s fees, foundations and so on (under the foundations clause of the policies). Of the remainder the bown| engineer estimated that 40 percent is burnable; and 20 percent of the balance destructible. It would be possible thereâ€" fore, Dr. Day said, for the loss to be $50.473. The town had carried $51,500 insurance. But the mayor had proposed that the town reduce this by sza.ooo.i | leaving about $23,500 insurance on the place. â€"~Insurance Figures The other matter brought up by Dr. Day touched the insurance on the disâ€" posal plant. This, at the suggestion of Mayor Bartleman, was to be reduced by $28,000. Dr. Day set out to prove that the plant had been overâ€"insured by just $1,000 and that if the thing were to burn now, the town would lose $27,000 at least.

The company said it was not their intention to store wood there during the summer. The council will look into the matter before giving a decision. Dr. Day suggested that the whole council go down to the disposal plant, with the town engineer. "There is enough at stake to warrant it," he said. "Very unsatisfactory, the whole thing" was the mayor‘s comment. "Then the insurance companies have put it over us anyway,." said the mayor.
