TORONTO OFFICE: Bond Building, 66 Temperance Street, "Pelephone Adelaide 0107, D. Tresidder, representative. ) : {i 214sMONDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1927 Rh = i, OSHAWA'S GREAT EXPANSION "Phe close of September rather dramatically carried Oshawa's building total past the $4, 900,000 mark. It is a record that any city in Canada outside of Montreal and Toronto could well congratulate itself in merely passing, that the majority this year will envy. Yet 1927 has three months more to run, All this building, too represents solid ex- pansion. This is not a "boom" year anywhere imvCanada. Conditions. are much better than even in 1926, hut the construction work which has been launched in this city during the cur- rent year's first nine months merely repre- sent the imperatively necessary in industry, business, and community housing, Such. expansion brings its own problems, and citizens never need to show more interest in their community than when prosperity, like & rising tide, seems to be carrying everything towawds- fortune's most glittering harbor. Jn other words, Oshawa needs to hold fast om its sanity, its sense of balance, While re- fusing to be carried away by thé over sanguine, it should just as firmly refuse to adopt that exaggerated caution which doubts the sun's oxistence until the high noon of opportunity is spent. 'Fire words about "building for the future" in (shawa" are well enough. The thoughtful will note that there is a great deal of building foubhe present yet to be done. Oshawa needs a paving program that the twin sciences of civil and industrial engineer- ing cap devise, not one built according to the amiable rules of election advantage. The time to build a civic office building is when such a building is needed to house its growing activities, not when "hard times" hardens the joints of enterprise, «8chools must be erected to take care of in- creased population; the traffic problem must be studied with regard to increased use of streets and highways by-automotive vehicles. THE PREMIER AT BOWMANVILLE Premier Ferguson officiated at the opening of the Boys' Training School's first fall fair at Bowmanville on Saturday, and the splendid exhibits shown by the boys together with their fine displays of gymnastic feats and competi- tions must have given him one of his career's finest moments. Without his active support, the Boys' Training School might still be some- thing to talk over and endorse in the hope that someone would "do something about it." As it is, the school stands largely as a monu- ment to Premier Ferguson's idealism and prac- tical ability. In his address, the premier declared em- phatically that the Government was prepared to back. the school financially, but he mention- ed that.only to introduce an appeal to the Ser- vise Clubs of Ontario for co-operation in keep- ing the 8chool free from institutionglism, He asked for that brotherly interest in the boys while there, and particularly after they leave, that money cannot buy, that government in- fluence cannot command. : ' This appeal should meet with an enthusias- tic response. There's no politics in helping a boy to be the manhe ought to be, The pre- mier's appeal should touch the depths of men's souls and awake there those sentiments of therhood that, too often, are merely a name a passing emotion, not evidence of a center- ed purpose. ' Further, the public at large, and particul- arly the public living near the school as here in Oshawa: and district, have a duty and privi- lege as regards the school. That is to wipe out the notion that it is a sort of reformatory, The Boys' Training School is exactly what its~name declares. No boy there came to it through any form of court action or procedure. | They all came, however, at the instance of big men in this province's communities who felt'that this boy or that wasn't getting the chanee he deserved, and if that chance were long withheld anything might happen. As the premier declared, the school is dedic- ated to the idea of "Giving the Boy a Chance." THEM is something more than an Idea, jf is | --_-- an Institution; it is Christianity in armor fight- ing youth's battle agai world, flesh, and that devil which lives in the hearts of evil men INDISPENSABLE Newspapers are too modest to brag about themselves, though they may have much to boast of, but it is no sin nor breach of good! manners if they sometimes are provoked into complaining that they are not always appreciat- ed and given their full measure of credit. Newspaper readers never appreciate their daily paper until they fail to get it at the out it during their vacation, and spoil their whole vacation by failing to have it forwarded. When newspapers are late in delivery the carriers and circulation manager receive more complaints than the janitor of a cold apartment ' house." And it is not surprising that one should miss his paper. Just to list a few of the services the news- paper renders its readers, there are the radio program, financial and market reports, the | baseball and football scores in season, the ad- | vertisements to guide the next day's shopping | and the service rendered by the classified | columns to the buyer and seller of everything from a second-hand baby carriage to real es- tate. And how many persons can go to bed before they have read the day's grist of news and the comics? No newspaper claims journalistic perfection and all willingly confess certain weaknesses-- some reluctantly tolerated because the public has a weakness for them--and realize they de- serve some of the scoldings they receive at the public's hand. But they know they are like the weaker sex in that the public cannot get along with them or without them. oo GAINING Statistics compiled at a co-educational college discloses that the girls of that institution are taller, stronger and heavier than their mothers and grandmothers, If these statistics apply to the women of today in general then certain self-confessed scientists and some individuals * who view with alarm stand corrected, The tests in question will stand scrutinizing for they represent studies made of 4,800 wo- men. The tests were begun in 1886 and so pro- vide the requisite records for successful com- parison, The comparison shows that the aver- age girl in college to-day is two inches taller than the average co-ed of 1886. The 1927 freshman co-ed weighs 118 pounds while her predecessor of 1886 weighed only 112 pounds, In strength and prowess the modern girl also approaches nearer the Diana ideal than did the girl of forty years ago. Logical explanations are at hand for such an evolution in physical womanhood even though the tests made in one college might by some chance be contrary to or exaggerate the situation elsewhere, Exercise, outdoor life and recreation are recommended by the physical culturists as body builders and growth promo- ters. None will deny that the modern girl is much more active and oftener out of doors than was her mother and grandmother, Modern styles for women, because they permit great. er freedom of movement, should aid in evoly- Ing a taller, heavier and stronger womanhood Lest the modern girl, who demands the svelte figure, becomes alarmed at news that girls of college age are becoming heavier jt should be explained that the new weight is be- Ing added in bone and muscle rather than in unfashionable and uncomfortable obesity, EDITORIAL NOTES : A good kicker has more friends on the grid- iron than on the diamond, Many a young daughter resembles her mo- ther because they dress alike, i Farmers near railroads and pikes should paint their cows a bright red. A wife is a person who will look thrilled while you tell what you said to the boss.

But we believe urgent business neces- sity, not morals, kept him away from the night clubs.

He was probably very wise. Many a business n goes into a decline when he gives up his business and finds he has nothing in the world to really interest him. It is interest and enthusiasm in, life that keep us young, and even keep us alive after middle- age.

That Body of " Pours with | | | | (Registered in Accordance | the Copyright Act) By Jas, W. Barton, M.D, ' ANOTHER THOUGHT ON LISTER | No one likes to think about sur- gical operations, because the 'fear | of the knife' is a part of our daily | make up. | And yet we know that thousands of lives would be lost every day if the knife were not used in cases of cancer, appendicitis, and other conditions. In these days it is just the ex- ceptional case that does not recov- | er, such is the degree of safety now | attained by our surgeons. And yet | slightly more than sixty | it is but | years ago, that the majority of | surgical operations, especially those where the chest or abdomen were | opened or where the leg was ampu- tated, resulted fatally. What has brought about this degree of safety i that we now enjoy? The knowledge given to the world by a young French chemist, Louis Pasteur, who showed that putrefaction was due to small organisms that got in- to the wound. From this knowledge Lister, af- terwards Lord Lister, envolved the | idea that if he could get sumething that wouia kill these organisms, he could prevent putrefaction and thus coud make surgery safe. This he was able to do, and the results in his surgical wards were so astonishing that they could not be assailed or disroved, and his meth- ods of antiseptic surgery spread over the world. Before this time, in amputations alone, one in" every three died in early cases, two in every three in older cases. Amputations of the arm two in every five died, amputations of the thigh two in every three. Hospitals that had been closed because of operations meant untold suffering, and frequently Jdeath from blood poisoning, were now reopened, as Lister's methods of "cleanliness," and disinfection of hands, dressings, and instruments, made oerations "safe." Some one has rightly said that Lord Lister (using Pasteur's suggestion that organisms were the cause of inflammation) has saved more lives than were lost in all the wars of the last ome thousand years. And what is even more grat- ifying, his methods have prevented untold suffering to countless thous- ands throughout the world. Is it any wonder then that throughout the civilized world the dredth anniversary of his birth sMbuld be s0 genuinely celebrated. ants and it should he brought about (without further delay.

Truscott of West Hun- tington was the speaker of the day at the Anniversary Services at the Albert St. United Church yesterday, and delighted the congregation with two very fine addresses, both morn- ing and evening. The Anniversary services were in every way a suc- cess, the church being filled to cap- acity each time. In the morning Rev. Mr, Truscott, who is a former minister of the con- gregation, spoke og '"'Angelic Visit- ants" from the text "And an Angel Apneared unto Him, Strengthening Him." He dealt first with the real- ity of Angels to the Christian, and he pointed out our need of their help and the comfort that their aid can he to us. The choir, under the lead- ership of the organist, Mrs. Geo. Burrus, rendered effectively the an- them 'Jesus Thou Are Standing" and Miss Lottie Arnold sang '"Some- hodv is Watching", For his subject in the evening Mr Truscott took 'The Loneliness of Gethsemane' speaking from John 18 : 26 "Did I not see thee in the Garden?" The life of Christ, he said, is full of the heroic, the nath- etic, and even of the tragic. When He was at the heicht of His min- istry multitudes followed Him. but when He was in the hands of the law even Peter, the leader nf the disciples deserted Him: so with us, in days of sunshine we can com- mand manv friends, but in time of trial and trouble we very often stand alone, Many people of tndav, he =aid, ave fal. low at a distance--not particularly A 4 For a Delightful Treat!
