Still cheCk. ing on facts, you ses. When he checked he couldn‘t believe what he was being taught, i.e., that there were differert kinds of blood flowing to take care of different parts of the body. This didn‘t sound like commonsense to him. He experimented and he found that the heart sent more blood coursing through the body than three times the weight the body itself, he asked where did the blood come from and where did it go? Commonsense told him that was but one answer: It went around and around, and back again.

Why? In the first place no free, public discussion took place in selecting the heads of committees for the 1948 council. The matter was settled behind closed doors early Monday morning prior to the inaugural meeting. In the second place, this private meeting occurred at a time when Councillor Leo Del Villano, one of the two remaining councilmen of last year, was unable to attend due to the fact that as a mail carrier he was forced to work at the time.
