EMOTION VERSUS INFORMATION
Human emotions are fine in their place hut a
tiniQ'S they do very definitely get into action before
mason has had a chance to operate. Last week a
supreme court decision, which returned twin ehildren
to the custody of their natural parents, aroused ire
all over the province. The fact that the children had
been in the care of a devoted couple for the past se
ea years, who believed that they had legally adopted
the youngsters, has shaken the faith of many couples
in the dependability of adoption practices in Ontario,
If those were •the only facts in the matter the
public would be entirely justified in feeling that adop-
tion leads only to heartbreak, However, there were
circumstances in this case which entirely alter the
picture,
The most important of these circumstances is that
the adoptive parents did not proceed through the
recognized channels set up by the Department. of Wel-
fare when they assumed the .custody of the twins.
Because such heartbreaking episodes have occurred
rnany tittles in the past, and to protect both natural
and adoptive parents from tragedies of the kind re-
cently enacted at Cooksyille, the Ontario government
department has a well-nigh foolproof system of
adoption.
In the first place the natural parents are examin-
ed on their willingness to part with a child. If there
are temporary circumstances which appear to force
the parents into giving up a youngster, every effort is
‘made to rectify the trouble and keep the child at home.
If adoption appears to be the only course, the new
parents are not granted final and legal riebts for a TeMN-TY-FIVE PEARS AGO

HERE'S A THOUGHT ,
'One dtizen of this community, who has always
been intensely interested in the Maitland% River and
the natural assets of beauty which it affords the town,
has suggested that when the Canadian Pacific Rail-
way wrecks the trestle bridge ver the, river, the coun-
cil shouldoask the railway company for the timber.
Hit idea is that the materials could be used to make
strong- gates for Howson's dkn, and that in this way
the level of the upper reaches of the river could be
raised to the point where First Bush and other points
along the stream would be retuned to usefulness as
„swimming and Naming places.
The FCC has expressed the opinion that the con-
crete Nalells of the darn, into which the plank gates
were formerly fitted, are so damaged that it is now
impossible to 'keep the gates in place. ..As a result, the re
water level in the upper pond is very low and there is
hardly sufficient water at First Bush to allow sv.-irti- le
ming. With the /OW water stagnation takes place in ex
the pond itself as weeds and other vegetation along
the shore decompose.
Over in the village of Mildmay the Rotary Club b
has utilized the natural asset S of a stream as a public
swimming spot bv constructing a floating sidewalk to ea
define the outer edges of a safe swimming area. Above in
the 'walk and below it to the bottom of the river is a b

On Monday morning two young

Wax in a swimmer's ears, par-
ticularly in ofie ear, may lead to
serious or even dangerous con-
sequences, according to a report
received by the Health League of
Canada from the American Medi-
cal Association.
Dr. Albert P. Selzer, author of
the report said that dizziness
sometimes occurs when a neerson
swims in cold water width enters
his ears and causes abnormal an-
tivity in the ears' labyrinths where
the sense of equilibritun is con-
trolled.
The dizzm' e.es may lead to in-
ability to tell the position of the
body, panic, or even drowning, be
said. Dizziness is especially likely
to occur when only one ear is cloge
ged. Cold water cannot reach that
e.ar's labyrin* th, bat does reach that
of the other =clogged ear. This
sets up two different utbalanced
reactions and -produces dizziness
and inability to tell. body position.
In a person with Wit in both
ears, or In neither ear, the laby-
rinths* reactions to cold water are
the same and thire is no dizeinese.
The dir/mss resulting from Wan

mers, but it May also occur when
cold air reaches the labyrinth of
