OSHAWA, THURSDAY, APRIL 13, MUST SPEED UP NEW SCHOOLS Although the need for new pubs Yic schools in Oshawa has been ap- parent for months, and although a written request was made to Coun cil last December for the necessary money to undertake tue work, the proposed expenditure, and this data took no action on the request for several weeks after the New Year's elections, and a definite decision is still in the future, The\Finance Com- | mittee has asked the Board of Edu- cation for additional details of the proposal is still in the air. Council was gone over by the corximittee of the Board on Tuesday night. All very well, but the Finance Commit- tee might just as well have asked] and secured this inforamtion several weeks ago. It is just such celays as this, seemingl¥k unnecessary to thosc "on the outside, that necessitate a continuation of tne overcrowded conditions in the schools. The desire last fall that a new school would he ready to help relieve the congestion following the opening of the schools next September. The having a building eve partially completed by that time to accommo- date students may be possible but it is not probable when the money is! not yet set aside for the purpose. The school accommodation question is serious enough to holding of special committee, coun- cil or Board of Education meetings to get the work under way. FIGHTING THE MOSQUITO There is going to ba another war --on the mosquito. the forecast of Dr. Alvah H. Doty, former health officer of the port of New York, and Henry L. Doherty, engineer and gas and traction finan- cier, who have taken up cudgels in a renewed campaign to exterminte this summer pest of town and coun-! try. The "open season' for the skeeter will begin within the nex: month, depending on the temperature of | carly spring days. In its present stage the campaign can be more of- fective if two things are done: 1. Kill the first mosquito of the £eason., 9 2.

Of several varieties of mosquito native to the metropolitan seetion of New Jersey and Long Island, the liouse or inland mosquito, culex "pipiens, and the salt marsh mosqui- to are most common. Culex pipiens passes the winter as an adult female hidden in cellars, buildings and oth- er protected places. With the first warm days of spring she comes out of hibernation to lay a mass of eggs. The salt marsh mosquito hibernates in the sod of partly inundated low- lands, the eggs of which are laid | only in water, and the breeding pe- riod passes in twelve days or twe weeks . The progeny emerge from ' the water by the hundred, fully de-| velopd adult mosquitoes. Here follows a graphic presenta- tion of the mosquito problem which Mr. Doherty has worked out: "The female house mosquito," said Mr. Doherty, "is supposed to lay an average of more than 200 eggs. The females are believed to be presat in preponderant ' numbers as compared | with human sex propotrions.

Has any attempt been made by any Canadian Government to lie. ense campers, fishermen, hunters and other users of the woods so as to keep track of their movements of forest fires? A. Most of the devastating forest fires In 1921 were caused hy ecamp- ers, fishermen and other travellers in the wcods who showed gross carelessness In leaving their camp fires unextinguished and in throwing away lighted tobacco and matches. Canada paid with millions of dollars for the outings of thoughtless Can- adians last summer. Quehee and New Rrunswick are now considering a license system whereby @very camper or sportsman would he re- quired to take out a permit hefore entering forested districts. This may seem like a handicap on innocent recreation but until the Canadian camper shows some consideration for the security of the woods and | some appreciation of the menace of fire such legal restrictions may be expected.
