REPRESENTATIVES IN US. Powers and Stone, Inc, New York and Chicago, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1928 THE TEACHERS ARE APPRECIATED The Rotary Club of Oshawa rendered a distinct service to the community at large when last night at the High School auditor- ium the Club entertained the teaching staff of the Oshawa schools to a varied and thor- oughly delightful program, In honoring the teachers the Rotary Club honored itself as well, No kind of public service is more valuable and perhaps none less appreciated than that rendered byf the teaching profession, Lhe Home and School Clubs have been changing this situation somewhat of recent years, but there is still a decided lack of recognition or at least a lack of expression of it on the part + of the general public, This lack the Rotary Club function last night will help to supply. Perhaps it is not too much to hope that "Teachers' Night" may become an annual event in Rotary circles in Oshawa, DR, CODY ON THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS Those who were privileged to be present at the Motary Cilun teacuers' panyuec 18st nght were aeepiy Impressed wii nev, Canon Cooy's masterius preseniation or tne pupject on whicn he spoke, "Lhe League oi Nations," The distinguisned speakers re- view of the events leaung up to tne rorma- tion of the league, his exposition or is pur- poses and working anda nis vivid woru-pic- ture of the League as he saw it in aciual operation held his audience in rapt atwention, It is sate to say that all present optained a much clearer realization or the great worth and work of the League as 8 result of last night's address, 3 Dr, Cody was signally honored by being selected in 1926 to preach the kngush ser- mon at the session of the League that year and his visit to Geneva for that purpose gave him an excellent opportunity to become ac- quainted at first hand with the working of the Lesgue--an opportunity of which it is evident he took full advantage. He has since rendered a service the value of which it is difficult to estimate by delivering addresses such as that which it was the privilege of 'his Oshawa audience to listen to last night, MOST INTERESTING HUT »iE ¥ thi i d i 1 | g 8 | ie Il i : 1 it H E : i 8 g | §F ; 1 | 3 i 11 i 4 3] i i i 1 : ¥ i ; § J § : t i i ] 1 I ; £ i : : l it : : i | : THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1928 Without their knowledge he took an accur- ate count of their "chews" per minute, The results were an average of sixty-nine beats per minute with a maximum of seventy-two for the woman, while the man averaged eighty-four, with a peak speed of 110. The scientific assumption is that the man was the most excited of the two, which lends some light as to their relative veracity, If it is true those who are telling the truth dis- play the greatest composure under fire from counsel, then fast gum chewing on the wit- ness stand is a dead give-away, : It has never been featured in chewing gum advertisements, but the fact remains that what the gum chewer seeks most from his favorite pastime is neither an aid to di- gestion nor a substitute for dentrifrice but a solace for his nerves, He chews that he may relax or, in more scientific language, that he may express in outer rhythm the pulsations of his inner being, It follows from this that the faster the chewer kneads his wad the greater, in all likelihood, is the per- turbation or excitement that he seeks thus to still, So let all gum-chewers take heed and park their cuds under the bench before they as- cend to the witness stand, REASONS This is the age of reason, Everything nowadays has a sort of scientific back- ground, All human action, if it is worth while, is supposed to be taken after careful and prayerful consideration, If a preacher gets a new call, or a business or professional man is offered a new position, or a politician is invited to take an appoin- tive office, each begs leave to retire to decide the question according to the dictates of his conscience, If the public were permitted to examine the interior mechan- ism of the minds of these gentlemen, it would likely discover that a decision was ar- rived at prior to or contemporaneous with the offer, Careful and prayerful considera- tion usually means thinking up reasons so as to appear neither hasty nor haphazard, In other words, most people decide things first and think up afterward their reasons for deciding that way, though they may be perfectly sincere in imagining the reverse, In this modern age of efficiency "hunch- es" do not go. Nor does sentiment justify, A Liberal or a Conservative hesitates to ex- plain his politics on the ground that his fa- ther and grandfather, belonged to the same party before him, He tries to justify it on principle with distressing results, Most people are not more successful in attempt- ing to explain why they belong to a certain religious denomination, They blush to at- tribute these affiliations to habit, tradition, heredity, or even to simple: faith, So it is with the rest of one's predelictions, A great deal of valuable time is wasted in thinking up reasons for doing things, The system is supposed to make for efficiency Yet it is conceivable that the human dynamo would hum faster if it did not have to stop so often to consider whys and wherefores. EDITORIAL NOTES No reason for failure ever stands the acid test. It is easy to find fault because nobody wants it. Lots of them are fine cooks if you can live on salads and fudge. It is easy to work on the level; watch a man when he hits a hill, Laughing yourself to death is better than worrying your head off. Unquestionably the first anti-bob agita- tor in history was Samson. | Bit of Verse WINTER SONG Oh, the leafless tree lifts its branches high As the north wind rushes past, And I hear it sob, and hear it ery; I am all alone, alas! For the flowers are gone, and the birds have flown That sang in the long ago; Oh, my life is sad, cried the leafless tree, And it's cold, with the frost and snow. But a chickadee, on an old spruce tree Sang gaily its soft, sweet song, And the music gay chased the gloom away As he sang through the morning long. Oh, the snow will go, and the south wind blow, And the flowers wake again, So cheer up, chee chee sang the chickadee, Gaily sang in the sleet and rain. ~--Margaret A.

A curat is a thin, married man, but when he is a rector he gets fuller and can preach longer sermons and becums a good man. EXTRAVAGANT WASTE (Los Angeles Times) Sandy bought two tickets for a raffle and won a $1,600 car, His friends rushed up to his house to congratulate him, but found him looking miserable as could be, "Why, mon, what's the matter wi' ye?" they asked. "It's that second ticket. Why I ever bought it I canna imagine." CANADIAN METHODS (Lowell Courier-Citizen) Flogging of thugs who commit holdups has come into Canadian practice, we notice, The young ban- dit gets not only a stiff prison sen- tence but a lashing which he will remember as long as he lives, He may smile as he gets 30' years, but he smiles out of the other side of his mouth when tied to the whipping post. The Montreal Star says: "The lash has come back because times have developed a greedy, dangerous two-footed young animal whose feel- ings can be touched only that way." We have at hand no statistics as to the effect of such treatment upon the holdups north of here. It is a plan to watch assuredly.

There is a sign In the mak- ing which will adorn the Colum- bus Circle neighborhood presert- ing a fifteen-minute pantomimin skit, heralding the virtues of a hair oil. White Way building owners are said to collect more than $2,000,000 a year from roof- top sign rentals. One of the costiest gigns in the Times Square section proved a total loss. After it flashed for a few weeks it was completely hid- den by a larger one. There are a half dozen men known as "spotters" employed to roam the White Way after night- fall and report bulbs that fail to glow. THE PRINCELY O'NEILLS (From the Belfast Telegraph) Lord O'Neill (Edward O'Neill), who attains his 88th year today, Is the head of that princely house, which claims descent from Niall the Great, who was Monarch of Ireland A.D. 379-409, though the immediate founder of the family was Hugh, Prince of Tyrone--known in history as Auch, or Hugh Builhe (yellow), who was twenty-seventh in descent from the great king. This Prince of Tyrone was killed in action near Disert-ad-Crioch, the modern Desert- creat, near Tullyhogue, on the road between Stewartstown and Cooks town, in that country, and within view of the old fort where for cen- turies the O'Neill's were inaugurat- ed in the style and title of "The O'Neill." The O'Neills were Princes of Tyrone and Lords of Claneboy and great territories in Derry, Antrim and Down, and were owners of what is now Belfast and were invariably described by the historians of the period as valorous and generous. From these valliant clansmen were descended many branches of the house, some of which are extinct and some which are overseas. One flourished in Portugal, and so re cently as 1925 Sir George O'Neill died in Lisbon, Portugal, to where his family had gone in 1736, and of which branch he was the head, and also claimed to be "The O'Neill or O'Niall." UP TO THE PEOPLE (From the Buffalo Courfer-Ex- press) To abolish submarines is, of course, easier said than done. This country, Great Britain and Japan might agree to outlaw the under- sea assassine, but France and It- aly might not see their way clear to become parties to such an agreement. In the case of Bri- tain particularly, because of her large merchant fleet, the submar- ines is a dangerous menace. The United States, Britain and Japan are strong enough in surface fight- ing vessels to be willing to discard undersea boats. But France and italy are mot so situated. They made quite plain at the Wash- ington conference their opposition to proposals for placing a ban on submrarines. Secretary Kellogg's approval of the anti-submarine resolution in Congress is, however, welcome evi- dence of the Administration's at- titude toward armament. Though one may have come to hope for much but to expect little inter- national disarmament in the im- mediate future, one can still find in Mr. Kellogg's statement a grati- fying indication that governments are at least tending toward reduc- tion of the weapons of war. If the governments move slowly in this direction, it is because the several peoples concerned move just as slowly. While this condition lasts, and it will last until peoples have come through education to know that war is uneconomic, we shall probably continue to have not only submarines but poison gas as well. Nevertheless, the talk at Wash- ington for abolishment of under- sea fighting boats is encouraging. It is significant of a changing state of mind toward war and ar- mament. To complete the tramsi- tion will take time. Even in the pulpits the change of mind meves- sary for the abolishment of arma- ment has not been effected, That Is why we say, abolish submarines, When the people begin to say 1, the government will begin to act. FRANCE AND ENGLAND (E. V. Luacas, in the London Sunday Times) France and England aré so differ- ent. The English want things where the French, lacking them, put up so naturally without them, hen we pass through France, in city, town, or country, we are conscious of omissions everywhere, and, in fact, our . conversation is apt to oceunpy itself largely in pointing out these omissions to each other, Tlat is be- cause each race--and perhaps par- ticularly the English--tends to make its own civilization the measure. We English want, wherever we go, to find England, and to make sure, at any rate of some of it, we are care- ful to take as much England as we ourselves represen: with us, What the French expect to find in another country I cannot say, because with great wisdom and self-protection they abstain from travel. SNUBBING THE GERMANS (From the New York Telegram) Nearly a decade has passed since Idberty loans and Selective Service-- The years have brought a more tolerant viewpoint, Three Ambas- sadors have beent sent to us hy the German Republic.

As a matter of fact, at a gath- ering of surgeons in Washington some months ago, it was agreed that if the ulcer has not existed for a long time, and the symptoms not too marked, medical treatment is all that is necessary. If, how- ever, the ulcer is of long standing, and is complicated by bleeding, ex- cessive pain, and obstruction, then operation should be performed. Dr. Balfour of the Mayo Clinle stated that they operated on 45 re- cent cases the average 'period that the patients had been suffering had been ten years. Now, it is worth while to remem- ber that cases that go, or are sent, to the Mayo Clinic, arrive there as the "final" place in America for treatment, They have usually been under treatment in their own home town or city, for years. And as this clinic has a deserv- edly good name for its surgery, sur- gery is felt to be the treatment that is likely to be given.
