In an effort to build bath. houses two years ago, the 'Town Council 'clashed with the Board of Health and thé project was dropped. This jx not a subject on which the Board. of Health end the Town Council should be at variance. Rather is it one-on which they should. heartily co-operate, as bathing is very, conducive to -health.

During his long assoc- istion'with the Statesman Mr. James has fhaintained « high standard, of journalism, 'strongly. advocating 'such measures as he considered to be in-the best interests of the community. Few" publishers have -kept more élosely in touch with. the men and women and boys and girls that have gone out from their territory and this with the excellence of. its local news service has made the Statesman a welcome weekly vis- brought the subject to the attention of the|itor in so many homes of Bowmanville > Council; .will not postpone further action until twelve' months hence. - At the. next meeting he should, move for the eppoint- ment of a special committee to enquire into'the whole question 'and report before the end.of September.
