publishers notes and comments v of coal during- eight hours of service while a 6200 type lo comotive needed for heavy main line work in national sy stem service consumes ninetons during a threehour run the site wei located surely the municipal council of stouffville ought to be commended for showing enough interest in the future of the town as to purchase a site that may be used for the er ection of a music hall something the place so badly lacks while a few people do offer their appreciation many more come along and offer complaints one group says the lot is not large enough another says the location is not right and of course there is a certain group who would not buy a lot at all this latter group which is not large do not be long to the class of people who build irp a community they are interested only in themselves and possess no inclin ation to help others t however we believe large majority of people in stouffville will see the wisdom of purchasing a site while there is still one available the lot neafthe station has park- ingfacilities that few other lots on- main street near the centre of the town offer besides there are no other vacant lots and to buy one with a building on would be to spend more money than the council could be induced to spend on a site the lot now owned by the town is well located has the aforementioned parking facilities which will be further in- creasedwhen finally the road is widened from obrien ave to the railway and it is just near enough to the business section to draw a n crowd from the badly congested centre section of the main street the present lot will accommodate a building with seating capacity in the auditorium for 600 people- and that ought to be large enough for stouffville a basement below with liberal accommodation for dining purposes and work rooms for the womens institute are of prime importance wash rooms must not be forgotten either however it is suggested that the council should appoint a strong committee to work on plans for this building so that in the course of a few years or whenever the time is opportune it could be erected in the meantime if someone comes along with the funds to make it an outandout memorial hall it can be built that much sooner coining close to home at the last meeting of whitchurch council a bill came in for payment from a doctor for attending one or more pa- tients in the township suffering from venereal disease the names of the patients could not be placed before council they are known by- a number only and a doctor who dis- closes any names is- subject to severe penalty similar bills will shortly be appearing on the council tables in stouffville uxbridge markham and in pickering township all of which should be great cause for alarm so prevefant has venereal disease become that the government provides for treatment of these sufferers without cost to j the patient and with every effort taken to hide their iden tity it is in the interest of the nation that the thing be stamped out it would be in the interest of the nation to take every step possible to eliminate the cause of this dis ease the health league of canada says that in the present national drive for the eradication of venereal disease there has been frequent emphasis on the responsibility of parents to instruct and guide young people and inoculate in them good moral attitudes the importance of the home where character is moulded where attitudes are taught and where acceptable standards are developed is fundamental to any effort to reduce delinquency and prevent its physical re sults wptb questions x national locomotives need big coal pile the large fleet of locomotives hauling urgent war traff ic over the canadian national railway lines during the past twelve month period used sevenandahalf million tons of coal to raise steam for that purpose this is practically double the amount of coal required in a normal prewar traffic year a yard engine burns approximately three tons when niagara was a sea like many of the most valued things in life we are apt to take our hydro electric utility for granted if we stop to think we know of course that hydro power is due to the harnessing of energy from falls and rapids but falls and rapids are caused in various ways how we ask did niagara falls originate those of us whahave watched the falls at work have probably noticed that the water carried by the niagara river from lake erie flows over thick beds of limestone big blocks of which often break away and fall into the chasm below beneath this hard rock are softer shales the falls would not exist were it not for the heavy capping rock it protects the underlying shales which otherwise would soon wear away how and when were these rocks formed that now serve us so well royal ontario museum authorities tell us that millions of years ago portions of a vast sea teeming with sponges and lowly shellfish covered southern ontario in cluding the area now occupied by niagara falls as time went on the sea gradually retreated leaving behind the limy oozes and muds which f ormeel the ancient sea floor these sediments subsequently became compacted into the limestones and shales described above in the limestones are entombed the hard glasslike skeletons of sponges which now often appear as chert balls or nodules these chert balls do not dissolve as readily as the limestone and- hence serve to reinforce the limestone layers which make possible the falls thus remains of the lowly organisms of an ancient sea play their part in the economy of our
