(PRESS COMMENT)
IMPROVES HEATH

Report comes from st. Johns
bury that with the development of
winter sport amusements such as
skiing, tobogganing, snowshoeing,
skating, and horse racing on the
snow path, the attendance at the
indoor entertainments, such as
moving pictures, has fallen off
materially. If there be no other
benefit from the change, it seems
likely that there ought to be a
vast improvement in the public
health of the community. Anything
that gets the people out of doors
clothed in seasonable apparel, is
apt to give the individuals better
chance to resist the inroads of dis
ease, providing, of course, those
persons take the usual precautions
against exposing themselves to
danger of colds. The outdoor life
is bound to give them strengthened
armor against the attack of dis
ease germs; whereas, budding in
rooms poorly ventilated is likely to
make them particularly suscepti-
BILE TO disease. Therefore, outdoor
sports score heavily in this res

the terminal box. These bride wires are
then cross-connected by means OF fuses
and jumper wires to binding posts upon
which the cable wires are terminated"
these aerial cables must be pretty
heavy" ventured Simpson.

"they are. Some of them weigh almost
nine pounds per foot, but. OF course. there
are some very small cables weighing less
