Win reply to? question from Coun- cillor Perry, Councillor Clark said ms applied only to new instal- lations or extensions. and not to replacements of facilities which al- ready existed.

Councillor Clark explained that this resolution had been prompted by the survey being made of water and sewerage facilities in the vari- ous homes and buildings in the Town. This survey revealed that a lot of extensions had been made which had not been reported. and pointed out that water rates were presently based on the number of outlets. He cited one case where water had been provided to one home for six years without charge because the Town office had not b?en informed of the fact that they were connected to the line. He said he felt that time would come when water meters would be installed in each home in order to make the charge fair to all on the basis of the amount of water used.

Let's Talk It Over D! "d"

It is I. sobering fact that the U. S. and Russia particularly, and other nations to a lesser degree, are making steady progress in the art of wholesale extermination of the human race. It is new con- ceded that. guided missiles can cross the ocean barriers and wreak destruction on many congested tar- gets. Though feverish attention is also being given to the matter of defence. it is admittedly lagging in the race with offensive weapons. There are crumbs of comfort in the thought that such horrible engines of destruction may outlaw war entirely because of the fact that every weapon is a boomerang calculated to bring swift retribut- ion on the heads of those who de- liver it. Thus, the god of war i-nay burst like a balloon that has ex-

pended beyond its powers of elasticity. ' . - .

There is. however. the chance

that a super weapon may be de- veloped by one side or the CL. a weapon that will insure victory for those who control it. We can imagine what might have hap- pened if Germany or Japan had perfected the atom bomb before we did. Although there are cynics who aver that God is on the side with the biggest battalions, many people have faith that "might" is not "right". and that the fact that the free world first perfected the atom bomb was not a mere accident. but divinely directed. There is comfort indeed in the faith that this divine direction will see us safely through the perilous years that lie ahead of us.
