WEDNESDAY, MARCH 21, 1928 SELF VALUATION Without ostentation man should value « himself more highly than is his wont, It is "one of man's faults that he undervalues him- self, lacks confidence in his ability and ad- mits to himself that he "can't," It is pos- gible to know thyself, and for man to achieve something worthwhile in this world he must believe in himself for his full worth, "Swell-headedness" is applied to persons who affect qualities unpossessed. One can be self-confident without being complacent and presuming, Man may know himself without letting others know he knows him- self, that in truth, is the secret of success among men, The higher a man's valuation of himself, the more his compassion and charity for his fellowmen, There is no condescension in his manner because realizing a value in himself he unconsciously seeks out values in others, One cannot expect the world to count him as of intrinsic worth if he himself does not recognize that worth, The valuation which we put upon ourselves cannot be concealed from the world, . It becomes so much a part of our thought structure and our very per- . sonality that it plainly manifests itself in our words and acts, Unostentatious self- confidence is natural expression of personal evaluation, Vain boasting is a cloak to con- ceal natural weakness and failings, He who brags is painfully aware of his shortcom- . ings; otherwise he would be conscious of nothing to boast about. " Belf-confidence is the recognition of short- comings overcome, Boasting is the recogni- tion of shortcomings to be overcome, THE MOVING SEASON It is estimated that a considerable num- per of families in Oshawa will have changed their habitations when the moving season is ended, Moving is expensive, There is a saying + that three moves are equal to a fire, That is, in changing residence three times one loses as much as one would were household goods consumed. Yet by no means are all changes unprofitable, Some move from rent- ed quarters into homes they have bought, That is advantageous, Others move from old houses into better ones, That denotes prosperity. Of course moving is dictated by a great variety of reasons. This year apparently there is not the scarcity of quarters that prevailed for sev- eral years. There has been a great amount of new construction and as a result the ad- vertisements of property for rent have been numerous, This is to the advantage of rent- ers in that it gives them choice, However, there is no definite indication that the in- crease of habitations has operated to re- duce rents, at least not materially. The cost of building is such that in new structures low rates cannot be hoped for if the prop- erty is to return a profit on the investment. The situation is such as to offer opportun- ity for relieving much of the congestion which prevailed during and after the war. The only difficulty in securing comfortable and sanitary places of residence now lies in ability to meet the terms. ¥ FAMILY REUNIONS Family ties are said not to be as close as they used to be, and yet many families are having reunions where a large number of near and distant relatives are gathered to- gether. Interest in genealogical research is said to be increasing, and many people are anxious to find out who their ancestors were and where they came from, and the desire to know the members of one's old family tribe will never disappear. An obstacle in the way of such associa- tions is created by the scattering of families all over the country. Where 2 family used to settle down in its home town or near by, the present generation is likely to scatter all over the land, and some may go to foreign mations. Yet as people travel more easily is than formerly, many may come from distant - points when the tribe holds its powwow, It may be said that the tie that holds these distant relatives together is not close, since the people who assemble in an annual family gathering may never meet elsewhere, and may not feel any particular congenial ity of temperament. And yet anything root- ed so deeply in old traditions as the ties of family relationship, must still be much of a power. Back in old history people looked to their families for protection, Tribe fought against tribe, and if you were attacked and your safety assailed, your government might not be able to do anything for you, but your kinsmen would rally and beat off the tribe that menaced you. Those old times of tribal warfare are hap- pily gone forever, But the members of a family tribe now can reflect that they no doubt share certain traits handed down from common ancestors, Hence they should have ideas in common, and when they get to- gether they should have important elements of congeniality that run deep in their na. tures, ON A TELEPHONE POLE All of a sudden, when the earlier sun wakes you one of these March mornings, your mind unfolds to a sense of change, The room's the same; the task of filling out your income tax blank still taunts you, you remember that the leavings of the twelfth ton of coal won't last the week out--but something is different! Not exactly that, but something is there that wasn't there yesterday, Nor is that just it, Whatever it is, it's new and not new, It's like a mem- ory come to life--a delightful memory, You trace it to the tip of 'a nearby tele- phone pole--and the clear trills and rills of the song-sparrow send thrills all through you, and you know the birds are beginning to come back! Some other morning soon the chorus will be full enough to awaken you--song will out- do the sun, As it grows from day to day, you'll hear in it a promise of no more tend- ing the heater--for six months--and no more trudging through snow and slush; no more cough drops, camphorated oil or mus- tard soaks, Also more fresh vegetables, and motoring along country roads fringed with a green mist, and dandelions--which in the U.S. no longer are allowed to linger, because of Mr, Volstead--and cherry and green apple pies, and magnolious things without num- ber! "How fine to have the birds hack!" you'll say to yourself. Have you ever stopped to think what would happen if they didn't come back? Well, in a season or two it would mean the end of life on this planet. That's all! EDITORIAL NOTES About all a rolling stone gathers is mo- mentum, Raising a family costs almost as much as it is worth, One-half the world can't see why the other half lives. Bit of Verse THE BOY A possible man of affairs, A possible leader of men, Back of the grin that he wears There may be the courage of ten; Lawyer or merchant or priest, Artist or singer of joy, This, when his strength is increased, Is what may become of the boy. " Heedless and mischievous now, Spending his boyhood in play, Yet glory may rest on his brow And fame may exalt him some day; A skill that the world shall admire, Strength that the world shall employ And faith that shall burn as a fire, Are what may be found in the boy. He with the freckles and tan, He with that fun-loving grin, May rise to great heights as a man And many a battle may win; Back of the slang of the streets And back of the love of a toy, It may be a Great Spirit beats Lincoln once played as a boy. Trace them all back to their youth, All the great heroes we sing, Seeking and serving the Truth, President, poet and king, Washington, Caesar and Paul, Homer who sang about Troy, Jesus, the greatest of all, Each in his time was a boy. --Edgar A.

TRAGEDIES OF THE AIR (From the Hamilton Herald) Within the last two days fouy fa- tal accidents have overtaken Brit- ish aviators in different parts of the world, At Nairobi in Kenya Colony, Central Africa, a plane pi- loted by Lady Carbery and carry- ing also a young novice named Cowle crashed to earth, and both Lady Carbery and her companion were killed, At Harrismith, South Africa, a plane piloted by Captain Dewhurst and carrying Dr. Rob- ert Joubert, a physician, as a pas- senger came down with fatal se- sults to both. Off the south coast of England Lieut. Kinkhead was flying over the ocean In an at- tempt to heat the speed record, His plane dived into the sea, leaving no trace, At Melborne, Australia, flight Lieut. Ivor Mcintyre was doing stunt flying and was killed, At least three of these fatali- ties were probably avoidable. In the Nairobi case Lady Carbery was little more than a novice, having obtained her license as an aviatrix only late last year, and she was undertaking to teach a pupil when the fatal accident occurred. Prob. ably the machine was under their joint contro] at the time--a candi- tion always perilous, Lieut. Meln- tyre, was doing stunt flying when he was killed--that is to say, he was giving an exhibtilon of diffi- cult and dangerous feats with his machine and taking desperate chances unnecessarily, The same is true of Lieut, Kinkhead, who was speeding his machine to the limit--perhaps beyond the limit-- of its normal capacity, and in so doing took risks even greater than those incurred in stunt flying, It will be remembered how an Amer- ican motorist several days ago, while attempting to beat Captain Campbell's speed record lost con- trol of his machine and drove into the sea. When proper care is exercised, aviation Is not more dangerous than motoring. But a pilot who yields to the spirit of adventure and tries to get a thrill by taking risks Is sure sooner or later to come to grief. CHARACTER IN BUSINESS (Financial Post, Toronto) Canadian Lumbermen's Associa tion met recently for a three-day convention in Quebec, The domin- ant note. of the convention was its insistence upon the necessity of es- tablishing higher standards of trade ethic. The business men who gathered for this convention did not travel many hundreds of miles to sermonize among themselyes. They saw that sharp practices in their industry--not so much unfair treatment of the public as short. sighted lack of co-operation be- tween those in the industry--were costing them money. # The whole tendency of modern business is thus: a practical pur- suit of a higher ideal in policy and action, The phrase 'self govern- ment in business" is but a further expression of the same idea. John D. Rockefeller, Jun,, said the other day: "Truly it has been said that no man can live unto himself alone; our lives are too interdependent. It is because I believe so profound- ly in these principles of business ethics and because I am so proud of what mapy companies are doing along these lines that I covet for business generglly the best in per- sonal character, in ideals, as well as in financial success." In a radio talk, which many Can- adians heard with 8 deep sense of appreciation, Mr. Rockefeller called upon business institutions, as well as individuals, to show a proper re- spect for the law. Fortunately mod- ern enlightened business is moving away from a policy of disregarding laws it does not like, & policy re- ferred to by Mr. Rockefeller in this wise: "There are a large and increas- ing number of laws regulating business. The great majority of them are undoubtedly wise and in the interests of the people. Some unnecessarily hamper and restrict business and do mot serve the com- mon good. Here, as in any of these other instances of regrettably com- mon lawlessness, one has respect for the man who seeks by every legitimate means to bring about the repeal of the law which he hon- estly thinks to be contrary to the public interest. "But law is law, whether it af- fects personal liberty, social well- being or business. So long as it wise in thine own eyes; fear the Lord, and depart from evil.--Prov. 3: PRAYER--I will trust Thee and extol Thee, 0 my God. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 21, 1928 should be obeved by individuals and cor tions. o 8 The alternative anarchy. When business men decline to tamper with law observance they show their faith in a democracy that is far from perfect but that can never be improved by, com- tempt. Unpopular laws are always a danger to democracy; but most unpopular and unsound laws cam be traced to exploitation of milder laws, either by individuals or corp- orations. Dr. Harry Emerson Fos- law of the United States is danger- ous to democracy because it en- courages lawlessness. Equally then, laws that place too great restraints upon trade and commerce are a danger to the democratic structure of Canadian business because they encourage business men to think up ways and means to circumvent them, Yet if business had always kept in the stralght and marrow path these laws probably would never have been placed on the statute books. And it is a quite ob- vious corollary that the manner in which business can ward off fur- ther restraining legislation is to do its own governing. FOR GREATER FOREIGN TRADE (Brockville Recorder) An interesting suggestion and one that, if adopted, might very well lead to greater business for Canada abroad, is contained jn the current issue of "The Commerce of the Nation," a publication which has recently appeared under the auspices of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, The Canadian Trade Commis- sloner service, as this publication points out, is now and has been for several years one of the most valuable agencies for the develop- ment of Canadian foreign trade, The trade commissioners and assis- tant trade commissioners who are stationed in 12 centres of the Em- pire and in 13 additional foreign countries are performing a most useful service in drumming up business for the Canadian manu- facturers and importers and as other bright young Canadians are trained in the Department of Trade and Commerce at Ottawa, they are going forward to recruit the small force of trade representatives who are making Canada's products known practically the world over, It appears, however, that these trade commissioners are often handicapped in penetrating foreign markets because of the difficulties accompanying their efforts to deal officially with the ministries of foreign powers, Such overtures as they may make to these ministries with a view to the development of ed in a round-ahout way and to that extent their usefulness is be- ing limited and crippled, since time is lost and a great deal of unneces- sary red tape involved in forming these contacts, merce of the Nation" makes is that, upon appointment to a foreign country, the Canadian Trade Com- missioner should automatically he- come, as well, the Canadian com- mercial secretary of the British Em- hassy or Legation. Given such authority and credentials, there is reason to believe that a perceptible improvement in the relationships between the Canadian trade com- missioner, and foreign governments would follow, and the interests of Canadian traders would be improv- ed correspondingly. Whatever the attitude of the Canadian business man towards the proposal to establish Canadian ministers in Paris and Tokyo, fol- lowing the successful experiment of having Canada officially represent- ed at Washington, it is doubtful it there would be any opposition to the suggestion which "The Com- merce of the Nation" makes. Cana- dian manufacturers and exporters will be able to increase their sales in foreign countries only as their products become better known in those countries and as favorable trading arrangements are conclud- ed. Any movement, therefore, which will have the effect of pro- moting closer contacts between the trade commissioners, whose busi- ness it is to push the sale of Cana- dian goods, and the governments of the countries in which they are stationed is bound to meet with the approval of those who look to foreign markets for an extension of their sales, dick has said that the prohibition |] In these days when our women folks and some men also, are en- deavoring to reduce, some words of wisdom from a great physiolo- gist are worth considering. Dr. Leonard Williams says "No man has any right to be really fat, and no woman has any right to be really thin." As you know, the glory of a man is his physical strength. This means that the muscles of his body are well developed, and de- velopment comes from work or ex- ercise. And where there is muscular de- velopment there is not much room for fat. A little fat when exercise has been omitted for a little while is not a bad sign because it shows that the body functions are work- ing naturally and storing a little fat from extra food eaten. Further, the normal protection for a man's nerves, blood vessels, and abdominal organs is muscular tissue The big masses of muscles protect the delicate structures from injury, from blows, falls, or strains from heavy lifting Fat interferes with the proper work- ing of the muscular structure, of the body. Now a woman needs muscle, but not as much as does a man, Nature provides her with a little exra fatty covering over the mus- cles of the body, and this fat serves as a protection for blood vessels and nerves. A very thin woman may be well but she is usually nervous, high strung, It is a sign of health to have the muscles rounded out with a little layer of fat, In other words, a but not for men." This means then that should seek to keep his muscles s0 that they show themselves, It is not necessary that every fihre should be always outlined, but there should not be such a thicke ness of fat that the muscle as a whole is not outlined, In a woman a light layer of fat is not only more becoming but is Canadian trade must be accomplish- | | Nature's protection as mentioned above, So whether you are man or woman instead of dieting and using Turkish haths to keep your- self about right, light regular ex- ercise, such as hrisk walking and The suggestion which "The Com- [the bending exercises, will devel- op muscle for the man, and for | the woman to keep the layer of fat from heing too thick, FIRE CLAY DEPOSITS Toronto, March 21.--Deposits of fire clay and silioa sand near the Matagami and Missinabl Rivers are the only deposits of their kind in central Canada and should soon provide a new source of activity for the industries of the Province of Ontario, according to Prof. W. 8S. Dyer, genlogist of the Depart- ment of M®.es of Ontario, in his official report published rhis week. The deposits, he stats=s, are situated within easy access of the new section of the Temiskam- ing and Northern Ontario Railway line which is nearing completion, Some of the deposits are suitable for the manufacture nf stoneware goods and sewer pipes, as well as firebrick, while others can be us- ed, if washed, for the manufacture of sanitary porcelain as well as floor and wall tile.
