Join the be left until the approval of club to-morrow. the Rallway and Municipal Board is obtalped to the change in the ward numbers: the polling divisions are to pe numbered consecutively, be- ginning with Ward One." C. G. Luke, city assessor, cour- teously spent considerable time with a representative of The Times yesterday, explaining in detail the effect of the proposed re-division. In brief, there will be 46 polling divisions, with an average of 250 voters in each, instead of 13 sub- divisions, with an average of 876 people qualified to vote at munici- pal elections. New subdivisions will be numbered consecutively from the north-west corner of the eity, the wards algo being renumbered to start from the north-west corner of Oshawa, Present Situation Bad The present situation in regard to the division of the city for poll- ing purposes, is really appalling when viewed from the legal angle. The Municipal Act says that no polling subdivision should include more than 300 people entitled to vote at municipal elections, but that a candidate ean not be unseated for this cause unless a division holds more than 400 voters. But there is not ore subdivision in Osh- awa at the present time that does not flagrantly violate this rule, The best showing is made in subdivision one, where there are 486 voters re- gistered for municipal elections The worst one is number nine, where 1,311 people are entitled to The other figures are: num- 794; three, 797; four, 1,020; six, 859; seven, 802: eight, 763; ten, 640; eleven, 1,281; twelve, 1,303; thirteen, 637. Thus it is seen that an applica- On Earth Goodwill and Peace In the fields with their flocks abiding, The Shepherds lay on the ground, And glimmering under the starlight The sheep lay white around. When the light of the Lord streamed o'er them, And lo, from the heaven above, An angel leaned from the glory And sang his song of love; He sang that first sweet Christmas The song that shall never cease-- "Glory to God in the highest, On earth good will and peace." "To you in the city of David A Saviour is born today!" And suddenly a host of the heavenly ones Flashed forth to join the lay. O never hath sweeter message Thrilled home to the souls of men, And the heavens themselves had never heard So glad a choir till then: For they sang that Christmas Carol That never on earth shall cease-- "Glory to God in the highest, On earth good will and peace." And the shepherds came to the manger And gazed on that holy Child; And calmly o'er the cradle The virgin Mother smiled; And the sky in the starlit silence Seemed full of the angel lay -- "To you in the city of David A Saviour is born today!" So they sang and I ween that never The carol on earth shall cease -- "Glory to God in the highest, On earth good will and peace." --F. W. Faber.

The second will he the very great added convenience to voters, Now, some voters have to come from the north end of Park road, down to King street, up | Simcoe street to the Separate School to vote, Others have to come from the eastern city limits to Mary street school. Others have | to come from Bloor street to Ritson | road and King streets. The result is | with the big subdivision, a congen | tion of voters at certain hours, and | many voters turning away from the | polls because they could not wait | their turn to mark their ballot, af-| ter having had a walk of perhaps | twenty or thirty minutes to get to the poll An effort has heen made to par-| tially fulfil the terms of the Muni- chief ults I'he first new deputy returning officers at each | poll, and dividing the voters in sec- tions A-L and M-Z, or perhaps in three or four divisions, But this did not alter the long distances which | many voters had to travel to reach a poll. This was no doubt respon- sible, to some extent, for the small percentage of the vote recorded at municipal elections in the past. Benefit to Political Parties This redistribution of great®henefit to workers of both political parties. Returning offi cars for both provincial and domin. ion elections generally follow the polling divisions set out for muni- cipal elections, although the voters number two or three times higher than those entitled to vote at muni. cipal elections. In preparing for the vote, it has been necessary to assign many workers to each pell- ing subdivision if 'all the houses were to be canvassed, and names have been given to each worker in alphabetical order. Thus all the workers in any one subdivision have been overlapping on each. oth- er many times a day. However, under the system of the smaller subdivision, some of them taking in will also he Cedar Chests Solid walnut chest, as illustrated, in window seat style, 19.95 | See Cn ilt-in tray, mounted on metal Reg. value $26.50.

The figures for numbers of voters given above show only munieipal voters on the 1929 assessment roll, Although there was a considerable drop in population last year, there was only a drop of 195 municipal voters over the whole city, so that the result in each particular sub division is not materially changed. east of east of WEATHER BLAMED FOR GAR ACCIDENTS Man Has Ribs Broken--Two Cars Collide Prospect, Dec. 11, The bad weather of this week was the cause of some mishaps on the highway and although none were serious, a few cars were badly smashed. Mr. James was hit by a passing motorist and had his ribs broken but it able to be up and around.

MAPPING CANADIAN FORESTS In areas covered with forest growth" and filled - with intricate water course, surveying by ordin- ary ground methods is laborious and expensive. The Topographital Survey, Department of the Interior, Canada, has developed a method of mapping these areas from aerial photographs taken by the Royal Canadian Air Force. SAWMILL WASTE Sawmill waste is one of the major problems of the lumber ine dustry. Present sawing practices preclude the use of a large per centage of the wood which must ultimately be utilized, Investiga- tions now being carried on by the Forest Products Laboratories of Canada, Department of the Inter lor, at Ottawa and Vancouver have, as a common purpose, the indine of a possible means of util zing waste material to the advan (tage of the lumber industry,
