Bartleman and Eyre were named to meet the doctors and see what could be done. Councillor Spooner and Town Clerk Arthur Shaw will go to Kirkland Lake soon to study the early closing byâ€"law in that town. The byâ€"law in Kirkland Lake is very similar to the one that the council expects to pass here in the near future. It was suggested by the doctors that a committee be formed here to start the ball rolling and that later the government would probably take over the plan. After a lot of argument for and against the plan, the council deâ€" cided to appoint three of the councilâ€" lors to meet the doctors and thrash the whole thing out. Councillors Spooner, ‘At the conclusion of the meeting the council â€" as a whole met Doctors Kinsman and Armitage of the Porcuâ€" pine District Medical Society to discuss problems that arose from treating inâ€" digent persons. The doctors explainâ€" ed that many of the indigents never paiq their bills and as a result of that the doctors‘ incomes had been reduced. It was pointed out that if a person on relief had to be treated the doctor cerâ€" tainly didn‘t refuse but that he exâ€" pected to get some sort of remuneraâ€" tion from somewhere. The government paid a small amount if the person were treated at home or at the office but they stood none of the cost of hospitalâ€" ization. If a committee of docâ€" tors and councillors could be formed, the doctors thought that some moneyv could be saved for the town anda the doctors would be better satisfied. Some of the persons on relief that went to the hospital stayed there too long simâ€" ply because nobody cared about them.

"Even in time of war, we are not too busy to watch legislative proceedâ€" ings that might affect our liberties.

Mr. Churchilll once qescribed such people as "Prudes on the Prow!."

This may be making the inâ€" dictment a little too severe, but the face remains that there is much logic in the charge. The Globe ang Mail article in any event is worth reading and considering: ‘‘Hon. Gordon Conant, Attorneyâ€"Genâ€" eral of Ontario, is to be congratulated for his wisdom in withdrawing from the Ontario Legislature a bill to imâ€" pose further control over business. The withdrawal resulted, at least in part, from the cogent arguments made by the Leader of the Opposition, Colonel Drew, who has bitterly attacked the principle of extending government regulation of business.

The Northern Miner notes that the tendency recenty has been for the production of Ontario. mines the show marked increase each month over the same month for the preceding year, but that commencing lest Deâ€" cember this rule has been dropping off.
