SS il EES SSS FRIDAY, FERUARY 10, 1928 THE UNCONQUERED ATLANTIC In the year of grace 1620 the Pilgrim Fa- "thers landed on the shores of what is now Massachusetts Bay, That was an accident, for they had set out to take up a grant of land in Virginia, It is interesting to consider how the destinies of the nation might have been altered had they actually arrived in Virginia and the republic have had one cradle instead of two, Undoubtedly it would have been a tempestuous cradle and the survival would have been to the fittest, That this uncertain situation was averted was due to nothing more or less than the storms on the Atlantic. From that early day to this the Atlantic has been up to its tricks, There are times when invention and ingenuity appear to have shackled the ocean and when the prayer for "those in peril at sea" seems useless waste of prayer, Then, when least expected, the Atlantic comes back in all its pristine pow- or to wreak destruction along the coast and to harass shipping. Such is the case each winter, Again and again news has come of smaller ships in dis- tress and giant liners from their cour- pes and delayed for hours or even days. RESUSCITATING THE HOME Within a few years, it is now the sober belief of scientists and engineers, radio will broadcast motion pictures into the home, 'Then will come television, A person may sit in his armchair, possibly by an orna- mental fire place stoked by radioed heat waves, lift a telephone receiver and see the speaking, One may see as well as the president deliver bis inaugural ad- and see as well as hear the crowds him, One may see as well as hear operas on the stage of a distant thea- One may see the Tunney and Dempsey the period.

Whence that instinct comes none can certainly know, but it exists and the wholesome satisfying of this urge to hear some new thing is a condition of social progress. No art has a wider scope than this art, which preserves in its comprehensive mem- ory all the past that seems worth remem- bering, which makes the world new every day in its news, and which is ever peering into the morrow of the world and making its editorial auguries through those who know best how to interpret the omens, With the facilities which it has acquired for ga- thering, reproducing, interpreting and dis- seminating what the other arts produce, it has become the art of arts, EDITORIAL NOTES You can only make interesting friends by being interested, The only man who will work to get into a hole is a golfer, The law of gravity is about the only one that plays no favorites. Many sealskin coats being sold this win- ter were worn by rabbits last winter, The best love charm with which to hold a man is a diploma from a first-class cook- ing school. The objectionable thing about reckless mo- torists is that the bones they break are not always in their own heads.. It is now feared that bobbing may cause baldness. It is certain to make the hair short- er, at any rate. | Bit of Verse | . EE, HK WINTER IN THE WEALD "The Downs, deserted, sleep; the bare Weald grieves, And Winter rues, a tyrant none gainsay ; The fitful light has caught the clouds, and weaves , Strang misty patterns, wrought in sombre grey. No singing bird gives greeting when the dawn . Looks earthward, dreaming in a long caress, Till quietly, Night's heavy curtains drawn, The day steals forth in timid loneliness. Pale, frightened Day! She turns her tearful eyes Towards the sodden lane and barren field; Her yellow hair is blown against dim Skies, Too short her sojourn in the silent Weald! Soon her frail hands are on the doors of Night ; The inner glory flames; she fades from sight." ~Wera L Arlett in the Sussex County Magazine. ica 5A 1g = $e il % '5 existent; the more widely distributed. SUBSTITUTE FOR "AM I Nor?" (Hamilton Herald) Among grammmarians there 1s at present & discussion over the permissibility of using a terse sub- stitute for the form "Am I not?" One learned professor goes so far a8 to say that the vulgar "Ain't 1" should be allowed. Such a sug- gestion must shock precisians; but "Ain't I" is not worse than "Aren't 1," which used to be quite common half a century ago. Why not "Amn't I?" a form used by quite fashionable people in England in the early years of the last century, as every reader of Jane Austen knows, Anyhow, it is more consistent and correct than either "Ain't I," or "Aren't 1," for it is just an ab- breviation of "Am not I?" THOSE SENATORSHIPS (From the Toronto Saturday Night Mr. Mackensie King continues to shup the obvious course in his Senatorial appointments and in consequence lets himself in for widespread criticism. Very few people outside a small community down by the Detroit River and a few relatives in Quebec were a- ware of the existence of Doctor Gustave Lacesse until it was an- nounged the other day that he had been "called to the Upper House, Doctor Lacasse himself, in fact, appears to have been innocent of any ambition to become 8 law- maker for the rest of his life, for he professes that he hadn't though of himself in connection with the Senate until the Prime Minister addressed him as *Hon- oreble." The first eriticism arising out of this appointment is that men with undoubted claim to con- sideration have been by, notably W. G. Raymond, of Brant- ford, Mr. Raymond, at an ad- vanced age, gave up the comfort- able position of postmaster of Brantford a few years ago to help bis party by lending it the advan- tage of his great popularity and standing as candidste for the House of Commons. In the Com- mons he stood loyally by the gov- ernment when it was offending his community by its tariff con- cession to the Progressives. He is one of the most scholarly men who ever sat in parliament, and would have been an orpament to the Senate. Disappointment is keen that he was not given one oS the Western Ontario senator- ps. CANADIANS ALL! (From the Border Cities Star) Mr, Edmond G. Odette, M.P., speaking at an enthusiastic meet- fet of : is INH shill HEIR It was!" AROUT We are talking and hearing about cancer and heart disease so much, that we are apt to overlook the fact that the number of deaths from appendicitis has been increas- ing during the past few years, de- spite the increase In our knowledge hr in th " of course in the ty of cases the hurgeon who bi aid ed the operation receives the blame when the patient dies. I spoke once before about the death rate from appendix opera- tions increasing according to the te | delay in performing the operatiom: that whereas the death rate was only about 1 per cent if operation was performed the first day after discovery of symptoms, that is was nearly 10 per cent if delayed for three or four days. Drs. Bower and Clark report their findings In 7560 cases operat- ed upon in a Philadelphia hospital, and in almost half of this number the appendix had burst before the case arrived at the hospital. Now this delay means danger, and it is with the hope that lives may be saved that these physi- clans and others are trying to warn the public about the signs of uy pendieitis, The signs, as you know, are pain, nausea, vomiting and tightness and tenderness of abdominal walls, The outstanding symptom in every case is pain. Pain was the only symptom of which every patient complained. Nausea was present in some, yum- iting in others, hut pain was pres- ent always. Tenderness over ap- pendix was the next most frequent symptom, being present in about 90 per cent of the cases. Besides the danger from delay, { these physicians give warning re- garding the danger from giving a laxative, castor oll or anytmne else. During the year 1926, over 98% ner cent of all patients who died from a perforated appendix had had laxatives hefore admission. Now what is the surgestion? In the presence of ahdomina' pain, give nothing by mouth. That an abdominal pain which permmwss over a period of six hours in usu. ally serious, An injection or enema may be given to 'shift gas.' Always keep In mind thereiore the ahove mentioned danrers--de- lay In consulting a physician, and giving laxatives in cases of abdom- inal pain, VAUDREUIL MEMBER MAY BE SENATOR Montreal, Feb. 8--Liberal elr- cles here are advised the nonrina- tion to the Senate of Lawrence A.
