TUESDAY, MARCH 6, 1928 PLANNING A PROGRAM The Chamber of Commerce has sent out cards to its members with the request that they indicate on same suggestions for useful work the Chamber might undertake--objec- tives to aim at, as it were. This mail request will be followed by general and group meet- ings tonight at which the field for Chamber of Commerce activities will be further dis- cussed lead up to the adoption of a definite program, In this way it is hoped to assemble and in due course classify a program of work that will constitute a worthy basis for building the new organization on a safe and sure foundation, But when the program has thus been set forth the work has been only just begun, We do not know what all of the suggestions will be but we are sure they will be of sufficient number and magnitude to make even the most aggressive secretary gasp for breath and as for the Board of Directors--they will no doubt feel they have been mistaken for the City Council, Board of Education, -On- tario and Provincial Governments all rolled into one. However it is man's prerogative tospro- pose, And in this case it will be up to him to dispose as well, The Chamber of Commerce will, we hope, be democratic in the execu- _ tion of its program as well as the planning of it, By that we mean that we sincerely hope every individual member will he given an opportunity to serve on some committee dealing with a subject in which he is speci- glly interested and otherwise to assist in the successful carrying out of the program. A good way to wreck the Chamber of Com- merce would be to leave everything to the Secretary and Board of Directors and then of course find fault with them for not get- ting everything done that should be done. THE TRINITY SCHOOL FIRE The whole province will deeply sym- pathize with the officials and staff of the Trinity College School at Port Hope in the terrible disaster by fire which befell the School on Saturday last, That there was no . loss of life is a matter for profound thank- fulness. But the property loss was heavy and . the disturbance to the school work in the « middle of the term is also to be regretted. With commendable despatch the Govern- ors have decided to rebuild the School and with this in view had architects on the scene yesterday--almost before the last embers of the fire had died out. Even more commendable is the foresight which made this announcement possible. Without a complete or substantial coverage by insurance the Board of Governors would have found themselves in an embarrassing predicament. Too few buildings of a similar character are fully insured against fire and only after the flames had wrought their aw- ful havoc is it found that the amount of jnsurance is only a fraction of the sum re- quired to rebuild. SWORDS AND PLOWS The Biblical picture of the beating of swords into plowshares is finding many re- productions in modern history. Poison gases used during the World war to kill men are being used in the cotton fields of the South for the extermination of the boll weevil. Aeroplanes and dirigibles employed in the slaughter of innocents and the devastation of peaceful cities are mow serving science and commerce. The naval disarmament at Washington converted great battleships in- to girders for skyscrapers and long-range guns into plowshares. The world has peace now and everything moves easily for the service of peace, but in time of war will not the process be as easily reversed to the ad- vantage of war? There was a time when a people could disarm by merely beating their spears into pruning hooks and their swords into plow- shares. Today the willage smithy has al- 'most gone the way of Mars Silvanus; and even if the Krupps turn out plowsnares it may be that even their "hig Berthas" ave already obsolete. Im any case, restrictions in size of cannon will not atiect the capacity of airplanes te carry tons of high explosives. So we are left with the Leuna Werke and Muscle Shoals, planned to produce nitrate of ammonia for fertilizing purposes at the rate of hundreds, or thousands of tons daily, capable also of producing in time of war an equal number of tons of explosive, The chemistry which fertilizes the fields and the industrial appliances with which the farmer reaps his crop are convertible from peace to war just as they have been convert- ed from war to peace. If this be the nature of armament, what does disarmament mean ? One cannot demand the prohibition of the manufacture of artificial fertilizer merely because nitrate of ammonia may be turned to the making of high explosives. The steady exhaustion of the soil calls for the substitute which is offered by the nitrogen of the air, It is henceforth a necessity for existence, It is equally impossible to stop experiments in putting to beneficent uses the gas that kills, Preparations and experiments have been limited to "strictly defensive" purposes. But the pro-war race in armaments was nominal- ly a competition in the arts and sciences of military defense. A NECESSARY DEVELOPMENT It was inevitable that the expenditure for fire protection in Oshawa should be largely increased and the action of the City Council last night in increasing the permanent force to sixteen men should meet with the ap- proval of all citizens, and particularly of property owners, who depend in part at least, on the effectiveness of the fire fight- ers for the protection of their property. For too long have we in Oshawa been de- pendent on a seriously undermanned force of fire-fighters and only their heroic efforts and a kind Providence have combined to keep the fire loss down to a minimum, There is no guarantee that that situation will con- tinue and the addition of several men to the permanent force and the purchase of some additional equipment that is recommended by the new chief is a move that should he endorsed hy all, EDITORIAL NOTES All is expensive in love and war. The course to true love runs smooth--it walks. Sometimes a movie hero is one who sits through it. Too many persons are looking for a soft way to get hard cash. A woman can add four cents' worth of color and subtract 10 years. The man who leads a double life takes at least two chances of getting caught. Some persons are most agile when it comes to sidestepping obligations. An egotist is a man who can look into 8 mirror and be satisfied with what he sees. Fable: Once there was a4 man whose check stubs agreed with the bank balance. It is probable that as much trouble has been caused by half-truths as by outright lies. ' It is alleged that college graduates are too slow in picking an occupation. Not enough big jobs are open, maybe. Bit of Verse POETRY The lyre to which a Solomon Tuned his great Song of Songs, * The harp to which a Sophocles Poured forth his tragic wrongs, A carillon of lofty bells : Whose changes Homer rung, An amorous lute to whose low strains Sappho has often sung, A reed on which gay Villon piped Though prison bars were cold, The drums to which Shakespeare decked out His mummers in their gold. The deathless trumpet Milton blew When all was dark below, A bugle on the hills of Rome Sobbing a Dante® woe. The immortal voice of every age-- A matchless, minstre] strain-- Whose chords of sweetest melody Are muted chords of pain. --Louise A.

A minister has gone to Washington. Ministers are something to equip and maintain, as Washington has shown, so evidently we are prepared to pay something ior nationhood -- and really we can afford it. But we hope that our ministers abroad will not depend too much on our army and navy. Indeed, it would not do to say anything at all about them or our militia, which at present is suffering from a strong dose of government economy. Better just let our ministers keep the Union Jack flying over them and let it go at that, HOUSEHUNTING BY PLANE (New York Herald-Tribune) Bert Hinkler, who started on a solo flight from Croydon to Australia on Feb. 7, and arrived there, is famous for his daring performances. In 1925 he introduced house-hunting from the air and bought a seaside home after flying about the Kentish coast, He used a two-seater "baby" plane and took up his wife. This was his ac- count ;~-- "We circled all around the house at a low altitude, which is, of course, possible with such a machine, I flew near enough so that my wife and I could see what the bedrooms were like, and we were also able to jn- spect the other rooms." Hinkler has "specialized" in small planes, and it was in a thirty-horse- power Aero-Ayrian that he left Lon- don to make Australia, 13,000 miles in eighteen days. He reached Calcutta, 6,000 miles, in eight days. He then decided to cut his time to Australia to fifteen days, and he made it. The time of the Smith brothers, Sir Ross and Sir Keith, was twenty- cight days. They travelled in a heavy machine. WORLD'S OLDEST MOTOR CAR (London Correspondent of Winnipeg Free Press) What is claimed to be the oldest motor car in the world, built nearly 40 years ago dnd still in working order after having covered close on 200,000 miles, is up for sale by auc- tion. It is a one-horsepower Pan- chard with a chain drive and iron tires. It made its first run in 1891, and the engine was taken down and completely overhauled in 1912. This is the only occasion on which it has been to the garage for repairs. The owner of the car 1s Abbe Gayois, the worthy village priest of Belloy Sain Leonard, in the Somme department, who bought it in 1895 for the sum of £70, and has used it ever since.

Abbe Gavois wants to build a new church in his village in the old area dedicated 10 St. Christopher, the patron saint of motorists, and has confided the "old bus" to the Automobile Club of Picardy for sale to the highest bid- der, the product .of the sale to Dv used toward the building of the new church, Three years ago the Abbe Gavois drove triumphantly through Paris with 'his 33-year-old car and was received with wild enthusiasm by the motorists of today. His car won two prizes in races for the oldest type of motor vehicle still in exist ence, and was also awarded a medal by the London Motor Exhibition, BURGOMASTER D BULLY (Peter Simple in the Mornigg Post) London will be glad to seé Burgo- master Max of Brussels, who made such a heroic figure during the Ger- man occupation. Particularly I like the story of how the great little man resented the action of a German oi- ficer who swaggered into the burgo- master's office smoking a cigar, an was only persuaded by M. Max's dignified persistence to cease } ing. As he threw away his cigar t German haughtily remarked," "The conyersation can now continue."

Barton, M.D. GIVING THE LUNGS AN AIR BATH (Copyright) One of the suggestions in a re- cent article on tuberculosis was the giving of the lungs an '"'air bath." By means of air baths the lungs are bathed in air. Now, as a matter of fact, your lungs are always in contact with the air; the lungs as I mentioned once before, are really outside your body proper. If you could think for a moment Jof the lungs as a large paper bag which you have blown up, and then pushed down the throat inta the chest cavity, what was the outside of the bag exposed to the air is now the lining of, or the inside of, the bag. Similarly the inside or lining of the lungs is thus really in con- tact with the outside air, or In other words, is outside the body, This lining has very small blood vessels all about it, so that be- fresh air and the blood, the walls are so thin that gases can pass right through them, just as two differeht gases will pass through ap animal mem- brane in a jar. Blood after being all round the body is poor in axy- gen and rich in carbon dioxide, whereas fresh air is rich in oxygen and poor in carbon dioxide. There- fore due to differences in pressure | | breathe == lan exchange is made through this lining And so in cases of tuber- culosis where the healing of iam- aged tissue and growth of new tig- sine 1s desired, the use of exereige to iInerease the flow of air into the chest is being advocated. The exercise makes the patient deeper and more often, thus not only stimulating the lungs, but the heart and other or- gans also The exercises are to be taken in the open air whep at 111 possible, or otherwise in a well- ventilated room, The only exception is where the atfent has a temperature yvhere there Is danger from hemor. lage or bleeding, Now, this is not really ugzgestion, because it was ered some years ago thht putting weight on a tuberculous pa- tient, gnd getting his temperature lo normal, was not sufficient to en- a new discov- or| simply | 40-- 83.75 XCELSIOR INSURANCE LIFE EE -------- COMPANY READ OFFICE--EXCELSIOR LIFE BUILDING, TORONTO AIL THIS TO-DAY H.

However, using the expression "giving the lungs ap air bath" helps you to remember that your lungs are always getting an air bath, that the air in which they bathe should be pure, and have the sunlight upon it. It should mean more of the outdoors for all of us.

There is an obstacle which quite literally prevents spy car from giving that which only Fisher gives. This obstacle is the stubborn fact that nowhere in the world is there anything even remotely ap- proaching the uprivaled facilities of Fisher Bodyin the creation either of beauty or of value. For that reason the several new cars with Body by Fisher which are arousing unusual admira- tion cannot be duplicated or rivaled because Fisher Bodies cannot be duplicated or rivaled: Chevrolet was able to draw upon these nori- waled Fisher Body resources and the result is an exquisitepess of appearance so unusual and so advanced that it places the car absolutely alone snd supreme ia its class
