Engineers designed the mouth- piece of your telephone to give best results at oneluarter of tin inch from the lips. When your lips are farther away than this, your yoke is transmitted less strongly ... less clearly. Failure to remember these simple facts accounts for the great majority of "trouble" reports. Help avoid needless service cheeketps, and at the same time let those you talk to heat you without strain. suet remember: Talk clearly, normally, directly into the telephone, with your lips just orte-querter of an inch from the mouthpiece.

The usual buck passing from Toronto to Ottawa and Ottawa 'to Toronto with a. little Echnonort thrown in has created some interest, The way . that these matters are presented to the public creates a most confusing atti- tude in the minds of the public. Those who are for more beer are not satis- fied and those who are for, throwing the suds out entirely are wondering what it is all about also. This matter of beer and liquor cannot be divorced from polities completely as the policy under which we operate must be decid- ed by our elected representatives. We believe that to run this business as properly as it can be it should however be removed as far as possible from the political field. If the government could set us a system which would be effective, say for ten years, and then appoint a commission to carry on the business of administration over that period, After that time the whole policy could be reviewed and the policy determined for another period. * * e * SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT THIS During the last week we read that two Sanatoriums were closing a por- tion of their hospitals due to lack of staff. Then the Queen Alexandra Sanitarium says that some of their wards may have to close for the same reason. Sanitoriums are not the only institutions which do health work that are feeling the pinch. Practically all hospitals are working short ktaffed and this conditions is so general that something should be done about it. * * * IT TAKES MORE THAN PLANES There has been a school of thought which had the idea that bombing could crush the enemy. The recent assault from the air on Cassino in Italy has shown that this is not so. The boys that fly did a great job there. They dumped thousands of tons of bombs into the town and they left the place a shambles. But as soon as the straffing from the air was over the Germans were hack in, there fight- ing with a bitterness that was most surprising under the cireumstichees. The planes can do a job similar to that .of artillery bet then the. objective must be stormed by ground forces to complete the undertaking. We do no wish to take away from the airforce any credit that is theirs, for they des- erve our everlasting gratitude, We merely wish to point out that bombing is a preliminary to an attack not the attack. .1i 01,1 amiagia$I1011 101,•14,11$414alaala004aaaa!allaalallallall; .... ! 11t ..

ONTARIO HEALTH PUN INTRODUCED Government's intention to force upon any area a service not desired. Where satisfactory plans already were in op- eration, it would not be necessary to dispense with them, Municipalities would be able tO obtain health services available by- raising the necessary fueds through a choice of taxation. "At the present time," the minister said, "some areas will be unable to raise the money. yb assist such areas, the Provincial Government is prepared to pay limited grants based on need. The financial assistance will be in- creased to aid with additional services when our normal taxing powers are re- stored and' the facilities-become avail- able." Three-Year Trig Under the -bill municipalitliea will obtains, the specified services at a definite cost by expressing the' opinion of electors through a simple majority vote. The .contract for services will then he in force for a trial period of three years. The contract ea41, be terminated by d vote of the people on the same terms as it was put into farce. 4 EXTRA HANTS FOR SCHOOLS 'THIS YEAR $3,500,000 To Be Given Schobls Above Usual. Grants Premier Drew in a statement said $3,500,000 will be. contributed, 'by the province this year toward the cost of education in Ontario in addition to anything paid in the past. The statement said the grant would be a temporary measure adopted while a royl commission conducts a public inquiry into Ontario's school taxation which would be necessary before Gov- ernment plans to assume 50 per cent of education costs• could be implement, ed. The premier's statement, issued on, the eve of the provincial. budget in the Legislature, noted: his words in the elettion campaign of last August that the Provincial Government would as- sume at least 50 per cent against real estate, However, he said, it was never ex- ti petted that this could be ;done over-a eight, but only on a sound basis. Ex- perts had been working on the subject. for months and have "laid the founda, Lion for the public inquiry which must be conducted for the purpose of explore ing the extremely complex problem to, be solved. "This will be done by a royal com- mission fully repreentatiVe of all ° shades of opinion." Chief among the problems which remains to be ironed out before the. Government's plans could be implea mented was "the tremendous differ- ence in methods of 'a s„sessment throughout the proviace," "That in itself presents an insuper- able barrier to tl.e immediate solution, of the problem," the statement said.

In a statement later, Dr. Vivian said there were 4,480 physicians in .Ontario in 1080 but now there were only 3,- 665, with More than 1,500 doctors orf active iservice, This limited facilities for rendering adequate service. "The services required to fulfill an adequate program," Dr. Vivian said, "include those of hospitals, for acute, convalescent and eltrenic care, nurses, physicians, specialists, dentists, etc. These services will be co-ordinated through a health services board, repre- senting the technical and professional personnel performing this task. 41'his board will be appointed by the lituteriant-governor.in-touncil and will be responsible through the Depart. meta, of tlealth, trs the people of the province." the fiespitai staff what actually leap-, The statement 'Sella it was not the People.
