The Power Rates Rebate Municipal utilities commissions are being fmpressed more and more as time goes on that their rights are very much restricted. There is little they can do, in the way of framing policy, without the permission of the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario, which watches with an eagle eye all the actions of local bodies. This has been evidenced in the matter of the rebate which has been planned by the Oshawa utilities commission as a means of using up its accumulated surplus. : Some weeks ago, after permission had been secured by the local commission from the provincial body, it was decided to allow a rebate of the amount of the last power bill for 1982. The provincial body, how- ever, again stepped in, and did not like this arrangement. It suggested, instead, that a rebate amounting to twelve per cent of the whole of the 1931 power bills be allowed to each consumer. This suggestion has been adopted by the local commission, but it must still wait to have this confirm- ed by the Ontario body before it can he made effective. The net result is not unpleasant to the consumers, for in the aggregate it will means the disbursement of some $54,000, over $1,000 more than under the original system. But it does seem strange that the local body cannot use its own judgment as to how it shall disburse the surplus created by its consumers of electric power.. Under the first plan, the domestic and commercial users would have received a re- bate of two months' electric light and power bills, while the large industrial con- sumers would have received a rebate of one month's bill. In other words, the local commission . proposed to give the small domestic consumers a larger rebate, spread over a great number, and a smaller rebate to those whose accounts would probably run into hundreds and thousands of dol- lars. The average man would much rather see the small consumers given a larger rebate, but the provincial commission has ruled otherwise. Any responsibility, therefore, for the charge, rests not with the local body, which did its best for the working folks of the city, but with that somewhat . autocratic body which sits in Toronto and * dictates to the whole of Ontario--the Hydro-Electric Power Commission. Those Amazing Britishers Sir Malcolm Campbell, the world's fast- |f-~ est automobile driver, has added fresh laurels to those already won. At Daytona Beach, Florida, he sent his car hurtling along the sands at the almost incredible speed of 254.968 miles per hour, beating his own previous record by over nine miles an hour. It is difficult to realize that this . speed means. It means that he was travel- ling fast enough to go from Oshawa to Toronto in seven and one-half minutes. The British are generally said to be a _ rather slow people, but records show that they are not so slow after all. Not only 'lo they hold the record set by Sir Malcolm ~ Campbell, but they have defeated all- comers in speed in the air. These are achievements in which the human element, 4 calling for courage, steadiness and grit, is 'combined with mechanical perfection. In % these two factors, then, the British people have taken a definite leadership. It has "been proven that British engineers still lead the world in the production of engines capable of standing the most severe of tests. It has been proven that Britishers | possess the qualities necessary to drive or fly at this sustained high speed. These "are laurels which have been won consist- ently for the last few years, and no other , counrty seems able to approach the British standards. ; For upholding the reputation of the peo- . ple he represents, Sir Malcolm Campbell is to be congratulated, for the record he has set is not one which will be easily broken, + unless he does it himself. 3 i. Extending Relief A 'The Dominion government is wise in its {proposals that the provisions made for uns employment relief be extended from March 11 to May 1 of this year. Last year, it will * be recalled, the relief measures were cut 'off arbitrarily at the end of the spring, and it was not until late in the fall that the provincial and dominion governments took any definite action to assist municipalities in taking care of their abnorma} condi tions of unemployment. All through the the summer months, although there was a very large volume of unemployment, noth- ing could be done by municipalities in an organized way, because of the uncertainty of the attitude of the two governments. Since there is no definite assurance of what conditions will be like in the spring, it is gratifying to note that governmental assistance will be available until May 1. But with the knowledge of conditions last year still fresh in the minds of most people, it is a mistake to halt this assistance abruptly even on May 1. The assumption on which this date has been fixed is that it marks the beginning of summer weather when suffering from cold, at least, is not so acute. But people whose homes are devoid of food can be just as hungry in June and July as they can in December or January. Those who are unable to secure work can suffer just as much, in some respects, in the summer months 'as they do in the winter. We would suggest that the government should not halt unemployment relief assis- tance even on May 1. The government at Ottawa is asking for a blank cheque t carry on this type of relief. Let it also be given a free hand to decide whether relief is necessary even after May 1. It is likely that after that date there wil] still be men unemployed in this country, men who will need assistance. And the gov- ernment cannot afford to allow these men to suffer just because parliament has passed a bill extending the preiod for re- lief to the beginning of May. Let us have a measure which will permit the govern- ments of the dominion and the provinces to continue their present relief measures just as long as eondjtions warrant them, because only in this way will it be possible for municipalities to take care of their unemployed and their families during the summer. Editorial Notes The policemen on duty at the cooking school yesterday learned that it is no easy task trying to hold back a crowd of women determined to get into a hall, The: cooking school, incidentally, has been so successful that there was loud ap- plause when the possibility of another one in the fall was suggested at the closing session yesterday. Even if they have been driven back at last, the Chinese deserve credit for their splendid stand against the Japanese in- vasion. It is useless to say that Japan wil] not be allowed to retain the territory captured in China. She is already solidifying her position in the territory she recently oc- cupied in Manchuria, and seems to have settled there to stay. It looks as if the Chamber of Commerce campaign has gone over the top. Congratu- lations to the workers and to those in charge of the campaign.

Nine times in ten, however, indigestion, gas, etc, are due to excessive acid- ity and the premature souring of food in the stomach. Keep the stomach clean and sweet by free- ing it of this extra acid and then sufferers can eat the foods they like best and as much as they want in reason and have no stomach trouble at all. Thousands of peo- ple do this daily by merely taking after every meal a little Bisurated @lagncesia, which can be had at any good drug store in either powder or tablet form. Bisurated Magnesia instantly neutralizes stomach acids, stops food fermentation dnd meals digest as naturally and painlessly as in the stomach of a healthy child. Stomach comfort means a lot and most folks like good things to eat. Enjoy them both by making Bisur- ated Magnesia your daily after- cating protection, moenn® TORONTO YOU WILL ENJOY OUR SERVICE IF YOU PREFER A QUIET WELL CONDUCTED MEDIUM SIZED HOTEL, TRY 1 NEXT TIME YOU ARE IN TORONTO, Cheerful, comfortable rooms Tasty sob comior surroundings PLENTY of CURB PARKING SPACE GARAGE ONE MINUTE WALK .
