minor drawbacks there were would,
the committee was satisfied, disappear
as those affected learned stow to ad-
just themselves to the change in time,
Following are extracts from the report •'
of the committee, a lengthy document,
summarizing their conclusions under
the various headings,
Public Health.
, The question of "How Can We assist
in Greater Production" was taken up
• by Reeve Ford, Town Clerk D,
tv- Pherson and John Ransford, each
giving plans that have been followed in
outer places, After a thorough dis-
cussion the following motion was car-
ried when moved by J. Ransford and
Mayor 'Thompson:—'That a Committee
consisting of Messrs, S. J, Andrews,
Reeve Ford and William Grnt, be up -
pointed to look into the matter of
cultivation of unused farm property
adjacent to the bumf, in order that the
town people may do their utmost in
the campaign for greater production,
and that the Committee be asked to
report et• the next meeting of the
Board.
Mr. Ransfa'd spoke on the platter
of the change in the railway connect-
ions for Clinton. He said that the L.,
H, & B. would have two trains re-
placed in the near futtive, which would
probably run on the old time 10.30 a.
11. and 4,15 p.m, The other changes
talked about were the changing of the
morning train to leave here about 6.35
which would get to Toronto at, about
10.45 a m. The 3 train would gn right
on from Stratford with no wait, and
no express would be taken on :after
Stratford, and train would arrive in
Toronto about 7.30 p.m.
A motion by A. T. Cooper and
seconded by Mayor' 'Thompson 55.25
e rrieil:—That a Committee consisting
of Messrs, W, .latcksun, 1V, i'•rydone and
11. 5. Sharpe, he appointed to send a
communication to d1r, C. E. Horning
of the brand Trunk Railway regarding
the service given by his Company on
the Stratford to Goderich branch. and
the opinic,n of the Board as to the pro-
posed changes in tine service.

15. All our information points in
the sante direction, and the general)
medical opinion conuntaaticated to us is
that the extra hour in the- open ah
must have proved beneficial to the
health of those who enjoyed it, al-
though at the moment no particular
facts and figures could be adduced in
support 01 the statement. This is the
view taken by Dr. Frederick Taylor,
president of the Royal College Of Pity-
sicians, who made inquiries on the
subject from a number of the Fellows
of the college.
19, We have devoted particular at-
tention to the question of the effect of
"summer time" on the health of child-
ren and we have been glad to find
that, in spite of certain statements
whish had been matte to the contrary.
the hulk of the evidence (mostly de-.
rived from education authorities)
favors the conclusion that 111 the case
"1 children also summer time has
proved a success.
