THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES. FRIDAY, APRIL 15, 1932 PAGE THREE By Thornton W. Burgess TADDY AND MRS. PADDY PRE. PARE In preparation naught is lost No matter what may be the cost. ~= Paddy the Beaver. If there is any one in all the Gireat World who believes in be- ing prepared that one is Paddy the Beaver. And in this Mrs. Paddy agrees with him, It isn't that they are pessimists, You know a pessimist is one who is always expecting the worst to happen. No, Paddy and Mrs. Paddy are not pessimists. They do not expect the worst to hap- pen, but they mean to be prepar- ed should the worst happen. When they lay in a big supply of foed for the winter it doesn't ne- cessarily mean that the winter is going to be long and hard, but it does mean that if such should be the case they will have plenty | of food and nothing about on this score. Paddy had announced that he had discovered spring signs and among them was the fact that the Laughing Brook was rising. "Is it rising fast?" asked Mrs. Paddy a bit anxiously, "No," replied Paddy. "No, it isn't rising fast at all. The wa- ter is a little deeper and running a little faster and, of course it will keep on doing this for awhile. The snow around here hias gone and so we may not have much of a flood this year. If we do not our dams are all rignt as they are." "And if we do have a bad flood one of them may break," inter- rupted Mrs. Paddy. "It doesn't look like a bad flood this spring, but one can never tell. There may be a lot of snow up on the Great Mountain, There might he a heavy rain. It is easier to prevent a break than to wend one, dams over and strengthen the weak places, if there are any, the better. A little work won't hurt either of us. Then let a flood come if it must. We'll have nothing to worry about." "Right you are, my dear," re- plied Paddy. "We. will start right awa) to look those dams over.. Trouble comes to all, but those who have prepared for it always fare the best. Come on!" Paddy led the way to the lower to worry The sooner we look those | and oldest dam, the one that made the pond wherein was their Louse. Mrs. Paddy swam with hier nose almost touching the tip of Paddy's tail. When they teached the dam they climbed out on it and for a few minutes sat there looking about and mak- ing sure that there was no ome about whom they need fear, . "This dam is the most import- aut," said Paddy. "Of course," replied Mrs. Pad- day. "If this dam should break and let the water out of this pond we would be in trouble. Our house would no longer be safe. It would be dreadful, positively dreadful. I don't know what we would do." Paddy grinned. "Neither do the Empire's London, Eng.--~Now that Lent 1s over there is likely to be a consid- erable number of of marriages among members of families promin- ent in social or public life. Dwell- ers in the Mayfair and Belgrave of 30 years ago mostly effected their marrying and giving in marriage at St. George's Hanover Square. For some years now St. George's seems to have lost its prominefice in the nuptial picture, St. Margaret's Westminster, now- adays appears to be loked upon with favor by those brides whose parents or guardians are disposed for her to be wedded with full ceremony. The Rector or St. Margaret's is Canon Carnegie, who married the widow of the late Joseph Chamberlain, Canon Carnegie, is also Chaplain of the House of Commons, and naturally possessés a very wide circle of ac- quaintance in all the prominent walks of life. Of late years St. Martin's-in-the- Fields, Trafalgar Square, has been selected by many brides for the place of their wedding, St. Martin's I know what we would do, but I know what we will do," said he. "We'll make sure that this dam wil' not break no matter what | bappens, A safe dam means a safe pond, A safe pond means a safe house. A safe house means a safe family, And we get all that just by making just one thing safe -- the dam, Now you start at that end and I will weak places we'll make sirong. Do you hear Winsome Bluebird whistling?" for many a long month. I wish I could see him," replied Mrs. Paddy, as she started for the oth- er end of the dam, him," said a soft voice and there stub 80 near that even the npear- sighted eyes of Mrs. Paddy could see 'him quite clearly. Before she could reply Winsome flew away. Mrs. Paddy sighed soft- ly. Then she got right down to work and began going over her | end of the dam, both on the low- | | er side, the upper side and the | ter, Paddy was doing the same | thing at the other end. One or the other would bring a stick or | other material and work it in to strengthen a place that looked not' quite as strong as the rest. They were preparing for what might happen while hoping that it wouldn't happen, (Copyright, 1932, by T. W. Burgess) The' next story: "The Rising Water," WATER SUPPLY QUESTION ONGE MORE DEBATED Matter Will Likely Come Before City Council Monday Night "That troublesome question-- water supply to indigents and those on relief," as Dr. T. W, G. McKay, the Medical Officer of Health refers to it, has again teen called to the attention of the Public Utilities Commission and will likely come to the mo- tice of the City Council on Mon- day night, According to correspondence on fyle in the office of the local Board of Health, copies of which have been forwarded to the City Clerk and the General Manager of the Public Utilities, the moth- er of ten children, whose home is on Knight's Road recently wrote to the Ontario Minister of Health relative to the cutting off of the water supply in her home. This letter was dealt with by the Deputy Minister Dr. W. J. Bell who forwarded it to Dr. Mc- Kay. A This housewife in her letter to the Minister stated that the wa- ter was turned off last Septem- ber "because the neighbours as well as myself refused to pay the water bill as the city will not put the water in the houses here." ; Can Do Nothing "The local Board of Health eannot do anything for us" says this letter. "The neighbours all have wells which have been con- demned but they are using them, but I have to go to the creek for water which is not fit to use and I think I ought to have some coneideration as I am the mother of ten children. In referring this letter to Dr. McKay, the Deputy Minister writes, in part, "it seems a fool- ish thing to give an individual re- lief money to enable him to live and then turn off the water supply for arrears of water rates. "Further than that in many in- stances discontinuance of water supply not only promotes the de- velopment of disease but actually creates a nuisance within the end this is particularly true it sanitary conveniences are install- ed on the premises." Dr. McKay's Views In explaining the situation to the Deputy Minister of Health Dr. McKay goes into the problem of Knight's Road very thorough ly. "The original properties were provided with acces. to neighbor- ing wells for water supply," says Dr. McKay in his letter betsadds that, approximately two years ago, these wells were ordered closed, Following the closing of the wells water was furnished by the city from an outside tup se: vmg the properties on this road, Wy agreement with the families to pay the nominal sum of $1.00 per home. Supply Cut Off Dr. McKay writes, 'later on, when it was found that no water used had been paid for by any of these people, the Public Utili- ties Commission ordered the wa- ter pipe extension and outside tap removed and this supply clos- ed off to the families--because ot faliure to live up to agreement, to pay outstanding water rates or to sign and agreement for rate to be paid, "I do not think that in any of these houses (with one ex- ception which he refers to) is there any plumbing equipment with sewer connection," said Dr. McKay. Ir concluding his letter Dr. McKay states to the Deputy Min- ister of Health that he has been informed privately "that in every case where water has been turn- ed off from the city service, or where a water provision pre- viously existing has been depriv- ed from the persons making use of the same, that the Public Utilities Commission is giving every consideration to needs and health: demands of the parties concerned as well as to real abili- tics to pay, social attitudes, and relief and welfare problems, and that each case has individual problems requiring discussion and solution with certain special reservations demanded which al- low no standard method ot ac- tion to be taken, or a routine for- mula for provision of water in re- lief cases to be adopted."

Have yours during recent weeks the request had been forwarded to City Coun- cil that some action be taken to obtain a deed for this property for the city in order that the Commission can lay the water maine, Under existing conditions, with Knight's road being private prop- erty, it is impossible to lay either water mains or sewers to serve the houses on this lane owing to the impossibility of assessing for payment.

The other day two of England's oldest families were linked at Southwark when Lady Victoria Au- drey Chetwynd-Talbot, the 21-year- old sister of the Earl of Shrewsbury who is the premier Earl of England, was married to Lord Stanley of Al- derléey. Lord Stanley, who is 24, succeeded to the title on the death of his father, a former Governer of Victoria, in August last vear. Many wedding superstitions were defiied by Lady Audrey, Her wed- ding veil was thrown back from her face as she entered the Cathedral, there were no orange-blossoms, there were 15 attendants, and they were dressed in peacock-blue, which Lis supposed to he the unluckiest col- callv. every strata of London's pop- ifation is represented.

In this connection Mr, Dallyn stated that there would be only about $4,000 of Mr. Trick's contract uncompleted on Ma¥ 1, and that the material necessary for the full completion of this contract would have been ordered and "in transit" by the end of the month. "All that wif re- main, therefore, will be the cost of the actual labour required by the contractor'. The matter was left at this stage, the feeling being that the can take up the rives to deal with thig matter, Tn the. mean time the completion to be left to the rats?
