Nearly 60 years ago a group of Nassau merchants petitioned the house of assembly that the secret ballot replace the antiquated "living voice" system in parliamentary elections, under which the colony's population--985 per, cent Negro -- were required to state publicly the candidate of their choice. The pe- tition was buried in committee. Open Vote Abused Abuse of the open vote system became prevalent as some employers resorted to open bribery or perse- cution of employees for years after an election. Meanwhile other pe- titlons, presented from time to LS o 45 Years Ago time, were rejected by the assembly without the formality of referring them to a committee. By 1939 election abuses had be- come so flagrant that Governor Sir eo A Bit of Verse Providence should try the system on an experimental basis. The experiment proved sucgess- ful. Elections in New Providence were orderly, in contrast to former years when drunken men loitered about the polls and agents for the candidates moved among the voters openly bribing them. After a riot in Nassau in June, 1942, in which three natives were killed in a demonstration by labor- | ers in protest against their wages lof 89 cents a day, the Duke' of | Windsor, then governor, appointed | a royal commission which included (among its recommendations the | suggestion that the secret ballot be made general throughout the Ba- hamas, An effort by the house to head off the commission's work by appoint- ing an investigating committee of its own was blocked by the duke i who sustained officials refusing the | testify before the committee, | The question came up in the House of Commons in London and a parliamentary mission under Capt. Peter Macdonald was sent to the West Indies. The mission re- ported unfavorably on the open ballot system and was upheld by Colonial 'Secretary Oliver Stanley who interviewed Bahaman leaders opposing the change, Only when the British Commons threatened to suspend the colony's constitution did the Bahamas As- sembly capitulate and the bill was passed unanimously with' a large number of members absenting themselves from the chamber.

From time to time the attention of the public is drawn to accident cases which receive treatment in these hospitals and which might well have resulted in fatalities had the nurses and doctors on their staffs not been available. It will be welcome news for residents of the isolated areas in which these hospitals are located that the Ontario Government will contribute $165,000 towards the expansion program which the Ontario Division of the Red Cross plans. Details of the plan call for the erection of a new 20-bed hospital at Bancroft; improvements and additions 'at Beardmore; a new 20-bed hospital at Nipigon; a new wing and service departments at Englehart; a new wing and service department at Bracebridge; a new 22-bed hospital at Huntsville, and alterations to the building at Red Lake. 'The program, which will entail the expenditure of half a million dollars, of which the government will bear one- third, the Red Cross a third and the community concerned a third, means that a better service will be given than in the past. Located as they are at strategic points in Ontario's northland, the hospitals will in many instances eliminate the necessity for long, costly train' journeys which might be detrimental to the welfare of patients. Low Cost of Campaign Reference has already been made editorially to the splendid success attained in the recent campaign for funds for the "Oshawa Community Chest," for the purpose of securing necessary funds for carrying on the work of some sixteen worthy agencies and organizations. Congratulations were offered to those in charge of the campaign and also to Among those from Columbus who secured positions in the McLaugh- lin Carriage plant and moved to Oshawa were: Robert Hopkins, Geo. Ward, F. Fice, William Luxon and James Luke Jr. DDGM. W. H Walkey of Pe- ,terborough paid his official visit to the Masonic Lodge at Brooklin. Among those from Whitby attend- ing were: R. L. Huggart, Mayor A. M. Ross, J. D. Howden, J. A. Brown, A. H. Allin, P. Taylor, J. Nicholson, A. Young, W. J. H. Richardsen and Dr. Woodrow. Perrin's Hotel at Whitby had a narrow escape from demolition, Mr, Perrin awakened during the nigift and smelled smoke. On going down- stairs he found a fire well under way which required hard work to extinguish. The Oshawa Gun Cub announced its annual shoot would be held at Raglan, It secured 500 pigeons and a dozen geese for the events.

If one were to go to the | Xe» to exceed the objective by more than thirteen thousand dollars, i Few people realize at what small cost this and previous campaigns of a similar nature in Oshawa have been conducted. Indeed the idea may prevail in some quarters that the cost is much greater than. is actually the case. The fact is that Oshawa's record in this respect is perhaps the best of any city in the province. For the campaign just closed the total cost for all expenses--publicity, printing, stenographic help, head- quarters and all organization expenses--was $1,411.45, or only 2.05 per cent. of the total subscriptions. This figure is remarkably low when compared with Toronto, where the cost was over 5 per cent. and this, of course, applied to a much larger amount @llected. At the request of the Community Chest Committee The Times-Gazette is publishing in full the detailed statement of expenditures for all purposes so that everyone may see for himself just how much was spent for each item. _A great deal of voluntary work, gifts of office space, donations of publicity, etc., helped materially in keeping the cost down. The committee is grateful for'these added contributions, the dollar value of which cannot be exactly estimated, but which are none the less real contributions to the campaign, November Nights November nights are star nights. The leaves have thinned away so that lifted eyes can see a whole sky, and ~ that sky begins now to show the winter gleam and the winter constellations. The Dipper hangs low and Cassiopeia, the Queen, re- clines in her chair far overhead. Orion, the Hunter, is there above the eastern horizon, with Rigel, its chief star, bright enough to catch any eye turned that direction. And above Orion is Taurus, the Bull, with Aldebaran its particular bright star. Still higher, and in the same quarter, are the Pleiades, that dim cluster which none the less catches the eye whenever it looks to the east. In the west Aquila, the Eagle, flies low, skimming the horizon, a cons lation that has caught the eye of westward lookers since this land was new, caught and beckoned, Over- head, to the south, is Pegasus, the Winged Horse, which is the Great Square, though it is an irregular "square." And all across the sky sweeps the Milky Way, growing milkier night by night, intensifying with the chill until on frosty nights to come, it will fairly dance and glitter with its own brightness. Spring nights are balmy and summer nights can be and often are breathless, but the stars seem then tof have re- treated into some distant depth of the sky. By November - the remoteness is gone. Stars sit on the next hilltop, and far ridge and reach, full arm, one might almost grasp a | handful of stars, the lesser ones, of course.
