THURSDAY, APRIL l2th, 1934 Getting Ready for a Provincial Election In a few weeks the Province of Ontario will be ini the t.hroes o! a bitter political battle, when two major parties will enter an election contest ta secure con- trol o! government, and the offices and salaries that accrue to the victor. Citizens will attend political gatherings and listen ta orations over the radio ta hear both opposition and government speakers deride each other and their actions in the past few years. Ail the dirt and instances o! bad management in the past 20 years will again be dragged before the pub- lic. However, the average citizen has at last learned ta take ahl this poitical ballyhoo with a grain o! saît. Only those who are so politically biased that it is impossible for them to ever see in, or say about, any- thing that is good of an opponent in poitical thought. Un.!ortunately there are still thousands of these old diehards living, who vote Grit or Tory be- cause their father and grandfather did so. Thiey forget that they themsehves have little or no say in the country's government, because it la flot the die- liard vote, but the intelligent changing vote, which puts governments in or out of power. Fortunately the old idea that one politically op- posed is a vicious sinner and that it is impossible for him to do right is fast passing away. No longer does every Liberal believe the Conservative leader is no- thing but a criminal who is working oniy in the in- terest of himsel! andt his coherts without any thought whatsoever of the welare of the country. Citizens who give any thought ta, governmental affairs, and who have enough Christian chantty in their makeup to be fair will agree that whoever la in power, be they Liberal, Conservative or C.C.F., la doing his utmost for the good o! the country. Personally we cannot understand why party gov- ernment is necessary. In times of emergency both here and abroad coalition gevernmnents are formed and the crisis is overcome, but it seems that only a crisis in the country's life will bring about this sane type of government, which because of crisis has shown itself superior ta any other. Citizens Are Victims of Circumstances Definite action was taken by Town Council at its recent meeting with regard to Daylight Saving Time in this municipality. As a matter of fact the town can do little in the matter at all, despite the general disflke by the surrounding farming community and many town folks for the change in time. Much of Bowmanville's business and industrial if e is tied up wth Toronto and the langer centres and if these centres are ta observe Daylighr. Saving Tîme then Bowmanville must do the same or find itseif hopelessly out of step with its neighbors and business associates. A few years ago citizens voted against Daylight Saving Time and the resuht was that the industrial plants had to observe the new time to keep in touch with their Toronto offices. Some merchants alszo ob- served the new time and others observed the old time. The result was that housewives were preparing break- fasts for their husbands before the school children were out o! bed. The workers arrived home for lunch at il oclock standard time and the schooh children at noon and in the evening the same mix-up occur- red. There is no doubt the factories wvill observe Daylight Saving Tirme in keeping with the city. and council can do little else but make the obServance in Bow-manville official. --4-- The Press in Criminal Matters The Statesman has been criticized on various oc- casions for its stand in refusing ta publish regularly the news of police courts and of crime in general. There are certain aspects, in which the entire com- munity is interested, that this rule is suspended and a brief report of some important event la published. The position o! the press in crinùnal matters was recently the subject of an intensely interesting ad- drtss by Mr. Justice A. Monet o! Montreal before the convention o! the Ontario-Quebec Division of the Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association at Mon- treal. Judge Monet dld not attempt to infringe on the liberty and freedom o! the press, so long as that liberty remained in normal lines. "The Press has no excuse," this speaker believes, "ta, invoke for the publication o! criminal pnoceedings. Reports con- cerning criminal lawsuits are o! no interest to the to reproduce the accusation, or th.e condemnation pronounced against the parties, but these detatls are only reproduced to make money, to exploit the sickly curlosity o! a certain public, fond of sensational news. Such publications offer, no lnterest at ail, and it is linpotant te suppress them, because lnstead of mon- aizing, they rather teach people ta do evil." Judge Monet made a strong plea for a cessation for the sake o! love o! decency, morahity and honor, o! crime news. If a murder la committed, he says, the yellow press consîders it as the most important event o! the day. A special reporter is despatched, inter- views are applied for, the whole story o! the famihy is set forth. photographs are published, even those o! the deceased forefathers, the very picture o! the dog that did not bark on the evening o! the crime, is presenteci to the public and then follow an infinite number o! details which are as disgusting as they are crude. What benefit can the readen denive f romn seeing the photaograph o! the house in whIch the murder was committed? O! what advantage is it to the reader ta know the exact size o! the axe that was used. or the length and width o! the iron bar that the as- sassin used? This information la o! no value ta anyone, the Judge further adds. On the general pinciple o! Judge Monet's remarks we are heartily in sympathy and have obsenved them in our poicy o! publishing "all the local news fit to print." The bare details o! crime news are occas- ionally cf public benefit, and most weekly newspapers publish them only when they deem them necessary for the public good. A Field for a Careful Survey With each medical health report presented by the government and the civic authorities, stress has been laid upon the splendid accompishments along certain lines, the genenal health o! the community ha" been incneased and the death rate lowered considerably for people under fi! ty years. This has been the resuit o! years of study and concentrated effort toward a de- finite goal. Reports show success has been achieved. Hon. Dr. Robb in his recent speech drew attention te the fact that little or ne progress has been made to increase the life o! men over fi! ty. During the past few years there have been alarming number of! strong healthy men pass aleng. So alarming is this state o! affains that attention is being directed te the fact that Ue caled upon the men over fifty to live their age. Men o! fifty can not take the active part in life that they did when thirty-flve. They can not rush and tea~r about and give leadership as they did !ormerly. It is expected that when a man neaches fifty he will stop and consider what it is all about. A man o! fi!ty must realize that the time has come when he must consider his body. Regular medical examinations should be had. Reguhar heurs o! sleep and meals should become habit. Regular exercise. according to the physical strength, should be under- taken. Worry, angry arguments, indulgences, over- taxed nerves, should be all cane! ully avoided. Then there shouhd be study made o! Uow to prevent the numerous physical attacks that overtake a man o! fifty. WUen a careful study o! the conditions and a strict adherence to regular life is made. there will be a report that the i! e has been futher increased and fewer men are passing along between f ifty anal, sixty than previously. It is the opportunity o! the hour and a warning ta alh men to take tUis matter seriously and thus increase the length o! their life. Cut down the increa.sed death rate f nom heart disease by attend- ing bo the conditions today. Dr. Robb, in his report stated that the increase for the pazt ten year's has been 73 '-,. It can be done and should be done. Th e Non-Resident Vendor In demanding legishation to curb the activities of non-resident etailens o! foodatuffs, who annuall, take huge sumns o! money eut o! every Ontario comn munity, particularly towns and villages on the higU- ways, the Simcoe County Council has taken action which should have tUe support o! every other mun- icipal council in the province. It might have gone futher and includeti wares other than footistuf fi sînce the problem e!f combatting tUe outside vendor i is one that effectas many lines o! business in the amallen community. The fault lies wibh the Ontario statute which permits tUe outside growen on man- ufacturer of a product or' his agent ta sell it at will so long as it is grown or made in Ontario. l'ime anc again certain retailers organisations have sought re- lie!f from the provincial government, but the influ- ence e! manufacturera and lange producing interests was toc great. Municipal councils should have the right to control and negulate by bylaw the retail sale o! foodstuf!s by non-residents in such municipalities and to impose a reLsonable fee for such licenses as may be issued unden such bylaws. Editorial Notes The polîticians seemn very soicitous that the "working man" gets his glass o! beer. Why should tUe "working man" be paraded before tUe public as tUe possesson o! a thirst which nothing but freelye flowing beer will satis! y? Even though some work- men do like a gýlass cf beer. we fancy they wihl hardly relish being used in such fashion by the poiticians who seek an excuse for a measune that is meeting with great dis!avour in many euaters-Barrie Ex- aminer. In many places and states the bilîboard Ls under ban or restricted to positions fan back frem the higU- way. But in many places they stîll stand in spots where visibiiity is spoiled at intersections and in othe*rs they spoil views o! beauty spots. In Ten- nessee a ighway is being constructed, twenty-one miles long, Uaving a righto! way 250 feet wide. per- mitting four traffic lanes and safety devices. A not- able thing about the npw highway la that there will be no billboards alongside, non will unsightly. ram- shackle hot dog stands be permitted te spoil a view said te be rich in scenic beauty. Many adventisens already have sensed the publiecocntempt for the bill- board and realize tUat one which obscures a vista of beauty may prejudice the mincis o! the driver and his friends te the products advertised on its face. A report just neleased by tUe bureau of adventising o! the Ameican Newspapen Publishers Association shows that cf 187 free-circulation papers onri"shop-. ping news." started within tUe last 12 years. only 66 are still issued, a death-toîl o! 64.7 per cent. Reasons given for discontinuing sorte cf the papens were: Lack of support by advertisers in 79 cities; did net gel resuIts for ativertisers in 22 cities; too costly, did not psy prometers in 16 cities; no intereat for read- ers in 10 cities. When questioned by publishers as to reasons why they gave up advertising in the free- circulation papers, 132 merchants said they did net piroduce resuits: 52 said îresults were tee costly; 43 complained o! poor covcrage and delivery cests: 25 said the frec-circulators %erc gooti only for chcap inerchandice; 24 found they did net intenesb i'caders; 19 !ound theiir own prestige was lowered by such ad- vertising. Advetisers aIso reponted decreasing ne- sults with each succeeding issue o! the "soppers." TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO FIFTY YEARS AGO From The Statesman, April 15, 1909 From The St.atesnian.

The motion picture industry in Canada represents an investmnent of $75.000,000. In addition it pays taxes to municipalities, provinces and Do-j minion totalling' $5.000,,000. These to show what an important pat i this industry Plays in the national ar.d commercial life of! the country. col. Cooper compared entertain- ~ . men toay iththedays o! his' youth. Born in a amaîl western, Ontarie town he seldom saw any- thing more thaci Uncle Tom's Cabin or the Marks Brother.3. The principal >f amusements in imo-t amaîl towns ýy and particularly those widely sep- arated from other centres was tUe bar roomn and the dance hall. - Now we finci tUe motion picturel n theatre has taken the place of these doubt!ul amusements, bringîng teoi small comînunities entertainment o! e high qualîty at 10w cost. In the old1 5,days one had to go te New York, ýr Toronto. or somne other large centre, e to see great actons and actrcs.ws, but today in the amaîl theatre in the' 0 -,maîl conmunity one sees the same - actons as ceeu on Broadway, Yonge i Street or London. They see the fin- j est acting that is possible to se ight in their own communities. This is the greate.ct contribution that the motion picture has made te the life 1 o! small tawns. e Un!ortunately tUe speaker added' we dont appreciate tUe privilege tat.r e la ours in the possession o! a picture s theatre in oun midst, Here were s learned how the rest o! the people! o! tUe world live, their characten- istios, their dress, and even gain a commercial knowledge e! their bus- iness methods. In the great majonity o! cases motion pictures have a satis!actory a affect on youth, while o! course it is admitted that somne picturssi l not be shown to young peope At a big gathering o! motion pic- b ure theatre owners in London, Eng- land, the guest- speaker was the Archbishop o! Canterbury. who în the course ef his address, stated that the s motion picture industry was wonking te the samne end, the church con- sciously. and tUe theatre uncon.sc- iou.sl. He expressed the hope that t e etre owner would realize that he was the means o! bringing the r great trutha te the people and of presenting te them the great emot- ions of the human race. Col. Cooper spoke o! another angle, that o! the theatre's effect on trade o! the town. Without a theatre citizens would go elsewhere for their amusement, and where they go for their amusement, they also go te do their business, he pointed out. 1 In conclusion tUe speaker envia- ioned the time,, not fan hence when seund ecjuipped trucks would take motion pictures to out of the way places whene hisbony, geography andi natural history would be taught in the echoqils through the medium o! the travelling sound truck. This was already an accomplished fact as fan as amusement was concerned in a l large numben of small centres nean Calgary.1 The theatre was educat.ional andi it had yet a great field in which toi explore.
