 The Safety Committee has re- ported several meetings with the Management and much coopera- tion was shown. The only fly in the ointment was the fact that the Union members of the com mittee were not on the ball An order was given the clerk, Row. land Bishop, that he notify the Metal Trades Council of any wa cant seat on this committee and that they be filled by the Coun- cil. This Motion was put by Jack McGee, the Editor of the SUB.
 A motion was made that Brother Bernard Ezhaya 0e given an as- sistant, but because Bro. McGee felt this was Metal Trades Coun- cil problem, he motioned to table this to the executive committee.

 From now on the executive com- mittee of the s. M. E. U. will handle all Union affairs in com- mittee and craft problems will be given to each department. The members of this committee are at present:

States with a view to govern

and probably greater participa-
ton in the enormous profits OF
the pari-mutuels which now go
to the limited number OF stock

II is possible that this will

Of a system Of licensed book

of accommodating the racing

from the mutuels especially the

Heading the LIST OF these blem-

these growths. The first Is the
flat type, which causes a port
wine colored mark on the skin.
The second Ia known as the
hypertrophic tpye, which pro-
duces q deep red-colored mass.
The third is called cavernous,
and is made up OF a cavity
which il either large or small
and contains blood
There are two varieties OF the
flat type Of angiomata. The
first consists Of family reddish

on the upper eyelids and. oc-
casionally. on the forehead.
These usually fade as the child
grows older. In the second Va
riety, the stain is much darker
and more extensive. These
marks do not fade and often
present a serious cosmetic prob
lem when they occur on the
face or exposed parts OF the
body.
.THE hypertrophic type would
i seem 70 Re the least serious.
Often these growths may in
crease in size for several months
or even years and become
>darker in color. Then. after
ine. the color fades and the
growth disappears completely,
Hence. these growths often re-
ouire no treatment.
