WEDNESDAY, JULY 6, 1927 ROTARY PARK Five years hence Rotary Park on Centre Street will be one' of Oshawa's show places, as well as a center of continuous joy to the city's child population beth in summer and winter. Fronting on Centre Street, the combined park and playground will display a formal strip of lawn and flower beds, shaded by fine trees. Rack of that comparatively narrow strip pub- lic tennis courts will be thronged with happy young players. A terrace of rough stone set with Alpine flowers and shrubs will lead down to the Little Folk's Acre, which will be fully equipped with swings, slides and similiar play devices. Another terrace further to the west will separate the hillside section of the park from the creek meadows which will be a play- ing field for youth. Somewhere in that vicinity a playground building will be erected. What is now a meadow on hoth sides of Ogh- awa Creek is also a part of the Rotary Park pro- perty, Plans for future development include the whale area. The creek, which divides the proper- ty in its sinuous course, will be turned into a swimming pool. The first temporary dam will he crected this month, probably, and it will provide a pool some fifty yards long with a maximum depth of four feet. This section of the park promises to be a very popular one and a bath house will be erected eventually. At present the grading of the park is mak- ing splendid progress and the Oshawa Rotary Club and its Boys Work Committee are to be' cecngratulated. A general invitation is ex- tended citizens to visit the site and see what is being done, That, however, is not so important as let imagination picture what can be done, The site is a beautiful one, and with public co- operation Rotary Park can become one of the city's finest assets, devoted not only to beauty and recreation, but to the making of good citi- zens, A FINE BROCHURE Enterprising as usual, the Bank of Montreal has issued a beautiful brochure entitled "The Birth and Growth of Canada," dealing with the history of this Dominion from the time of Co- lumbus to the present day. The Bank of Montreal, which is fifty years older than the Dominion of Canada, has from the earliest days fostered the country's commenrce and has vhared to the full in its romance. It was this Bank which gave Canada its first -organized system of finance and its first domestic cur- reney. Many will be interested in the table of the land areas of the various Provinces which this hooklet gives: Prince Edward Island, 2,184 rquare miles; Nova Scotia, 21,068; New Bruns- wick, 27,911;; Quebec, approximately 600,000, cepending on the position of 'the new Labrador boundary ; Ontario, 365,880 ; Manitoba, 231,926 ; Jaskatchewan, 243,381; Alberta, 252,925; Bri- tish Columbia, 353,416; the Territories, 1,464,- G44 square miles, "Bounded by three oceans, with 13,000 miles of coastline, the Dominion of Canada now con- tains 3,690,000 square miles. It is almost as large as Europe, twice the size of British India, and practically equal to the United Otates, including Alaska." How, from the vast territory originally claimed, Canada shrank to a small colony in the St. Lawrence Valley, and then expanded cast and west and north into a unit larger than the original, is a story that is told graphically and succinctly in the booklet, and each stage in the process of Canada's changing borderline is illustrated by maps that form an interesting and valuable series. | Few realize how vast have been the changes in this borderline within the memory of still living. For instance, sixty years alo the four original Provinces of the Canadian Con- federacy contained 350,188 square miles of land and inland waters, whereas now the land and water area of Canada is estimated at a grand total of 3,697,123 square milés. Even within the present year the borderline of Canada has undergone a further change following the Privy Council's judgment on the Labrador Boundary. The history of each "change is given. Summing ur the territorial heritage of Cana- ° dians the be "Rich in every form of ragon 4. people | I Jores railways, roadways apd waterways, it is rich above all in' the qualify of its human populs- tion, drawn chiefly from the kildred stocks 'of Britain and of France. It is a land peculiarly fitted by its bracing northern climate to breed one of the strongest races in the human family. Already, the energy of its nine millions, a handful of humanity spread over so vast an expanse, had lifted Canada to third plade among the exporting nations of the world. With the great human reinforcements which may now confidently be expected, the Canadiah people look forward to a growth and firésperity far ex- ceeding the' wonderful progress' of these sixty years." OSHAWA'S INDUSTRIES One coul special significance which attaches to the stor- ies of Oshawa's industries as told in this news- paper's recent Jubilee Edition. Their size, de- vélopment, and future prospects were all of deepest interest, but underneath the facts shown by. statistics was the more important truth that the industries of Oshawa have, in the main, grown up with it, each a part and parcel of the community life, Oshawa has never had to go afield in search of outside aid for its industrial growth. Its development, to. a very marked degree, has been from within. One by one, as readers turn the pages of the Jubilee Edition, they will see how the years have brought consistent expan- sion to those great institutions which today make Oshawa one of the most enterprising in- dustrial cities of Canada. The illustrations give vivid point to the city's fortunate 'position in this regard, Alongside pictures of great plants covering many acres and employing hundreds, even thousands of men, there are shown the humble buildings from which their present greatness developed. Any town of 3,000 people in the Dominion could, probably, show many such scenes of struggling business today just as the pictures of Oshawa half a century ago depict them, Realizing this, Oshawa citizens of today must recognize that some special quality in the brains of its industrial founders is largely re- sponsible for its present substantial position. What that quality was is subject to any man's opinion, but Oshawa can never lightly depart from the policies that have given it wealth and prosperity. READING AS YOU TRAVEL Most people read as they travel. It is the exception to see your fellow passengers on a hoat or train without a book, magazine, or newspaper in their hands, On the whole the habit is praiseworthy, particularly on ocean voyage, or trans-continental trip, Watching the passing scenery from a car window or gaz- ing out over the expanse of old ocean palls up- on the traveller soon or late. Some diversion is necessary. Conversation and games do well enough for a while, but topics of conversation grow threadbare and the best game becomes tiresome after a time. Thus opportunities for reading on a long trip are numerous and often prolonged, It is well to plan reading for a long trip as carefully as other features are planned, What about the character of one's reading when he travels? That depends in part on in- dividual taste. Light reading for travel is the popular choice which means usually that two or three of the best current novels are taken along. Also numerous magazines and a daily newspaper when it is available. But the tray- eler should not be content with these, Why not select two or three of the really great books, the volumes he long promised himself the privilege of reading, and which he has not yet read? Such reading will stimulate, as well as interest the traveler in preparing for the keenest relish of scenes and shrines EDITORIAL NOTES Three ages of man: Pet, petting, petty.

Barton, M.D.) Decreasitig, Cancer Increasing déaths from cancer num- heer 300 per million vopulation, In my _had risen to 800, and in 1925 it had gone up to 1336. In giving these figures, Sir Berkeley Moynihan compares them with those of tubercu- losis. Forty years ago the death rate irom tuberculosis was about five times that of cancer. Six years ago the two had drawn level, and today the canger death rate was about one-third greater than the death rate from tu- berculosis, In the last twenty years the death rate from all ailments had fallen 32 per cent.; the infant death rate had fallen 45 per cent, the tuberculosis death rate 38 per cent. What about cancer? Cancer death rate had in- creased 20 per cent, Now these startling figures must be faced squarely. While it is comforting to be reduc- ing tuberculosis, and most gratifying to be saving so many babies, the loss of mature useful men and women in the prime of life from cancer, should waken everyone to its ravages. And the best means of fighting it are the very methods now in use. '1 hat is having skilled research men in la- boratories, all over the world, spend their lives trying to find out all they can about cancer, its prevention, ana if possible the cause and cure. And as new facts are learned and old er- rors corrected, they the given at once to the public. Are the public interested? There is no question but that folks at or approaching middle age are thinking more about cancer. And this is only what should be ex- pected when we remember that one person in seven, over the age of thirty, now dies of cancer. It is also pointed out that if a per- son has a lump of any kind on his body he should have it investigated Likewise with little fissures or cracks on the skin or mucous membrane that will not heal, It has heen definitely proven that cancer is not herditary, but the ques- tion of certain fpods as possible causes | of cancer has not been settled as yet, Although cancer is our great scourge It is encouraging at least to know that the profession realizes this, | Fortunately also many public spirit- ed men are giving of their wealth to | help find out the cause of this great enemy of mankind.
