Tresidder, representative. published every afternoon pA the Audit Bureau J ONDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1927 ame [4 COMMON SENSE NEEDED The City Council's members met Thursday evening as a Committee of the Whole under Ald, Marks as chairman to discuss fire protec- ion in this city. That meeting established something of a re- cord as to attendance. Only one alderman was absent. However, something elsc was marked- ly missing, and the public will draw its own conclusion as to what it was from the following iacts: The Oshawa Daily Times was represented by o member of its staff who was present in good faith in the di. c..rge of his duty. Yet it was decided that the Press should be barred. Despite Ald. Marks' appeal for a vote cia the question, a clamor of voices appealed for exclusion on the ground that Council com- mittees, under the by-laws, are held in secrct ii at all, This was pure absurdity or inconsistency. No regular session of the Council passes, hardly, without that body resolving itself into a Committee of the Whole to discuss committee reports clause by clause or for cther purposes, The Press does not leave, for no change is made except that an alderman takes the chair, a committee chairman sits beside him, the mayor goes down into the aldermanic scats, and City Clerk Hare takes a smoke. . Thursday night's meeting was a meeting of the Council as a Committee of the Whole on Fire Protection. Ald. Marks was chairman, and as he is chairman of the Fire Protection and City Property Committee he had to sit alone due to the fact that he cannot duplicate himself. The City Clerk acted as clerk. The mayor sat in the Council seats. If it was right for the Press to be barred from that meeting, then practically every meeting of the Council this year was, by that much at least, irregular. Irregularity, however, chief trouble. It needs less secrecy and more common sense. isn't the Council's OIL FROM COAL Dr. Kaiser's campaign to arouse interest in the Bergius process for the liquefaction of lig- lite coal into a form of fuel oil has aroused interest in Federal Government circles. Hon, Charles Stewart, Minister of Mines, re- turns from a trip to Europe with a report on that method which, while reserved in tone, in- dicates both Government interest and the soundness of Dr, Kaiser's promises. "Enquiry was also made into the status of "he two methods of converting coal into oil, of which much has been recently heard," Hon, Ar. Stewart is quoted as reporting, "namely, the Bergius process of hydrogenation and the synthetic processes of Fischer of Germany and ~atart of France. The former process is much iurther advanced than the latter and after six- teen years of experimental work and the ex- penditure of some millions of dollars it is now zbout to be applied in a modified form on a commercial scaic." The costs of t}« Bergius process on a barrel production basis are not known, but Hon, Mr. Stewart quotes :stimates of $3.00 to $3.25 a barrel, Which would make the process commercially unfeasible on this continent where crude oil can be produced at half that figure. However, ths Federal Minister of Mines declares: "Both processes, and essentially the Bergius are, however, of such interest that the Départ- ment will and is in a position to keep in close touch with the progress of their development." Since the Bergius process is admitted to be of such potential imporiance, and as the high vroduction cost is' merely an estimate, it might ve wise for the Department of Mines to do more than "keep in close touch," or to make that touch as close as the developing incustry would permit. Which would mean, in addition to keeping trained observers on the ground in Germany, original research and experimentation in Can. ada.

It lacks the executive instinct. Its meticulonsness worship of pure logic is merely a national admission that it lacks intuition. ' What Bergius has initiated some Canadian sgenius could develop into an eminently prae- success. 113 STRATEGIC POSITION . a ---- itate themselves on the strategic position hich they occupy with regard to the liquor store to be opened here in the near future. As 'often happens, the benefit which they derive comes not so much from their own eilorts as from their opponents overplaying their hands. That strategic position lies in .the fact that the initiative as regards the future of the liquor store rests in the hands of those who are now or may later come to oppose it. Given a certain nuruoer of names on a peti- tion, a vote to remove the liquor store may be called in Oshawa at any time after its opening. Under the fear of that vote and its con- sequences, it can be safely predicted that liquor store operations in Oshawa will be in entire conformity with the Liquor Control Act. If it fails so to conform, or if the store's effect within the Act proves baneful to this com- munity, those who should have the initiative in moving for a reform are, by good fortune rather than by careful planning, already pos- sessed of it. 'Supporters of temperance principles in Osh- awa can view the present situation with com- parative satisfaction, They have played fairly if not aggressively. i Their opponents have disgusted cven tne Liquor Control Board by their tactics. More, it is altogether likely that the Government it- sell is not pleased with the situation in this riding, and may well look forward a few years to wonder what would be the effect of a city of 30,000 people voting against a Government liquor store when it was again about to put its fate to the test of a Provincial election, THE MARYLAND PLAN The essential difference between England and the United States is nowhere more ap- parent than in the humor of their respective courts, English jurists are noted for their quips, epigrams and even their puns, Which last is the height of praise. Justice, however, is in no wise interrupted by the wit of the English bench, In the States, though, humor is of another sort, inclining less to the intellectual than to the slap-stick variety. A Maryland judge, for instance, has just horled a sort of custard pie of a sentence, A beotiegger was killed by, crowning absurdity, a father of 17 children, The judge dismissed the slayer with a 60-day_scntence explaining that he had considered the fact that the victim was a bootlegger and that the defendant was one of the state's most zealous sires. That sort of sentence, if correctly reported, is one of the reasons why justice is in such a bad way in the United States. Even if it is the product of someone's rather curious im- agination, it accurately presents the republic's reaction towards law and order. Half of it runs to absurdity; a third, probably, is senti- ment; and the remainder is that small fraction which stands for logical thinking, Bit of Verse THE LOST FRIEND He comes no more To my office door, My friend of a year ago. Ve shall never meet On the crowded street, Exchanging a glad hello. Time was I thought, . As a comrade ought, That ever his friend I'd be; But our paths have turned, And now I've learned How little he valued me. He passes me by With a downcast eye, He dodges me when he can; 1 saw him today As I walked his way, And one one-time playmate ran! So no tears I shed For the friendship dead, Of the man who is still alive; But who comes no more To my office door, br Since I foolishly loaned him "five." And I show no woe That he let me go For the price of a summer hat; But I say: "Let him keep My five. It's cheap To be rid of a man like that." --Edzar A.

Barton, M.D, ALL TONSILS SHOULD NOT BE REMOVED When parents read statistics which show that in all the cases of rheumatism and heart disease in a namber of preparatory schools, 95 per cent had -bad- tonsils, the natu- ral impulse is to have the young- ster's tonsils at once. - However, there is no need to wor- ry about this in young children, but to wait until jusy before they arrive at the school age, and then get the matter settled for the time being at least. If the youngster is having a sore throat frequently, with inflamed tonsils, and the glands of the neck enlarging, it would be wise to have the tonsils removed, as these glands cannot always hold the poison away from the general blood stream. It has been demonstrated that even after the tonsils have been removed, it is often two or three years before these glands get back to normal again. In other words a poison which these glands have pre- i vented getting into the blood stream, still exists after all this time. Another reason for removing the | tonsils is when they obstruct the i hreathing. When the tonsils are ob- | structing the passage it means that | the child will not get sufficient air | into the lungs, and there will be | tiredness 'all the time'. These very large tonsils often ob- | struct the little tube running from | the throat to the middle ear. This tube, as you know, admits air to | inner side of ear drum so as to | keep the drum tight enough to vi- | brate with any sound that is made. | If the air is prevented from reach- | ing the inner sidé. owing to large | tonsils, the hearing is affected. And finally if the youngster has had repeated sore throats, and the joints have been swollen or. heart affected, then operation is certainly indicated. The idea, then, is that parents will not rush ahead to have innocent tonsils removed even if they are large. On the other hand. no par- ent would want to feel that he fs allowing his prejudice against op- erations have him allow his young- ster take unnecessary chances on | deafness, rheumatism, or heart di- | sease, An examination by the family doc- | tor when the youngster is about | ready for school, is the best advice i can offer in this important mat- | ter.
