A large part of the Turkish indus. try was in the hands of Greek and Armen. jan residents of Asia Minor, The Turks de. manded that the Greeks leave Turkish ters ritory, and more than 1,000,000 were repat- riated in Greece, They carried their art and industry with them, A similar movement of population was largely responsible for the rise of a great textile and metal-working industry in Eng- Jand. Persecutions in France drove a num- ber of Huguenots out of the country; they settled in England, Similar persecutions in the Low Countries by Spain drove many Belgians and Hollanders to England, Thus the French and Spanish countries lost some of their best and most brainy workmen, and England profited by the migration, Similarly, toleration has brought to this continent millions of fine'workmen who are oppressed in their native countries, Toler: ance is not only a fine thing in itself, but it pays material dividends, : THE SINNERS' PARADE That the Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath is true.enough, But, the impressive records of Sunday motors ing fatalities would seem to suggest that to many people the phrase should read, "The Sabbath was made for folly," Psychologists may well go to work on the problem of how snd why a motorist goes mad over the Sabbath day, and succeeds in making a Roman holiday out of it, Fast and furious driving seems to mark that day above all others, Many are the pccidents and innumerable the near-acci- dents. Add to these, the jangled nerves, the tired bodies and the frazzled spirit of the family that rises early, feverishly gets the car ready, and then starts out on the quest, apparently, of seeing how far they can drive in one brief day. What is the sense of it all? Have we im- proved over the quiet and sedate Sabbaths of our ancestors? At least they received the gift for which the Sabbath was made, rest and recreation of body, mind and spirit. Any modern observance of the day that does not bring with it these two necessities of life, is sheerest folly. UNSIGHTLY ROADSIDE STANDS The anti-billboardists, after years of agi- tating, lobbying and "disseminating of in- formation" -against the roadside signboard, 'have suddenly awakened to the 'fact that while they have been waging war on out- door advertising an even more unsightly and profolic "weed" has taken root slong the highways. This new and unsightly eruption on the countryside is the com- bination of unpainted boards and advertis- ing cards commonly known as a "hot dog" stand or roadside lunch counter, Proprietors of these dispensers of soft drinks and sandwiches exhibit a genius for locating their dry-goods-box business estab- Jishments where the natural scenery is otherwise the rarest. There are instances enough where billboards have been banished from some curve or crest in the road only " to be supplanted by a road stand far more obstructive and destructive of the vista. Owners of highway frontage have a right to exploit its possibilities for income, but the travelling public also has some claim to unblemished scenery. The complaint is not against the "hot dog" stand but against the ugly, black alley type of shacks generally used for this purpose. Highway refreshment stores render a pub- lic service and are profitable to their owners or they would not be so numerous. Since they ave dependent upon the motorist for their trade, do they not owe it to their pat- rons to build their stands as much in har- mony with the surrounding scenery as pos- OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TH'™ ~~ "None of the quite wonderful and amasing things that happened to "Alice in Wonder- land" could hold a candle to the amazing price Lewis Carroll's original manuscript brought at auction in London, Carroll's im- agination created many strange creatures and happenings, yet even an imagination such as his never constructed a wonderland in which the manuscript of a juvenile book would bring a price of $77,000, Had Carroll predicted such a thing he would have been called as mad as the Mad March Havre, Though this most famous of juvenile books was written by an Englishman for English children, few Canadians have es- caped reading it, either in childhood or after having children of their own, It is one of the few great classics among nursery books, In recent years the demand for juvenile books has increased many fold and the out» put has kept pace with it, but "Alice in Wonderland" cannot be displaced in the hearts of children by the many excellent books of recent publication, EDITORIAL NOTES BR a Those who say grandma didn't go in for athletics have never pedalled through the hymn book on a parlor organ, Traffic hearing (1950); Your honor, this person made a left turn around the cloud and dented my landing gear," In the Old Days the host showed you views of a lot of places on his stereoscope that he now gets you on his six-tube set, Once you heard of people who had never seen a train; now you hear of children who have never seen a horse, Well, men have their favorite manicurists, - Why shouldn't women have their favorite barbers? When the past gives up all its secrets, it will no doubt be discovered that war and six per cent interest were invented in the same age, In studying the virtues of others a mic- roscope is never used, The man who fails in avoiding trouble of- ten is more successful in evading responsi- bility, Among the penalties of success are taxes and invitations to make speeches, One explanation of things is that decent men don't enjoy being reformed by corrupt men, We are rather glad the things became ob- solete before anybody tried to design a sport nightshirt, The question "What is to become of the world?" will soon be settled by the gradu- ates. | Bit of Verse THE CALL OF THE CELT March suns are stirring my blood ss sep stirs Under the bark of the sapling and tree; March winds are crying, are luring me woodward, Even as rivers are lured to the sea.

Kingston Whig-Standard) The New York es points out that laughter and cries of "Who?" ted Lady Astor's allusion to e daughters of Zelophehad in the course of the debate in the House of Commons on the "Flapper Bill." When she had explained, only an obstinate opponent could have re- fused to acknowledge an extreme- ly happy reference. Zelophehad, son of Hepher, of the tribe of Manasseh, died in the course of the desert wanderings, leaving no sons, but five daughters and the latter. appealed to Moses saying, "Give unto us a possession among the brethren of our fathers." And when Moses had laid the case be- fore the very highest authority he received the answer, "The daugh- ters of Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt eurely give them a pos- session of an inheritance among their father's brethren." Today, as The New York Times says, all over the world, inheritance means woman's right to vote. It was very clever of Lady Astor to find such a precedent, the same day. he received | dani Bovril gives you energy " without bulk ! a Body of Pours By James W, Barton, MD, ONE CITY'S (i00D HPALTH AD- VERTISING (Copyright) Some years ago I wrote about the namber of hours pec day, oa an average, the sun was in different cities of the world. ° idea was that the sun's rays were 80 beneficial that any city or dis. trict that could boast a fair num- her of hours of sunshine, should be a good place for every member of a family to live. Brighton in England, Los Angel- es, San Diego in California, some citles in Arizona and Colorado, have all been publishing the num- ber of hours per day of sunshine their cities were enjoying. In one eity in Florida the num. ber of "dull" days were so few that the newsboys were instructed to give any citizen a paper free, if it rained during the day. But a step forward has been tak- en, and now daily reports of the intensity of health giving ultra vio- let rays in the sunlight, are being published, along with the usual weather report, in the Tucson (Ari. zona) Citizen. Tucson is the first American city to have accurate records available to the public. Research workers in Toronto have been demonstrating that the ultra violet rays were much less powerful in the winter time, than in July and August, This means that where children are thin and undernourished, even when they are getting outdoors dal- , it would he good sense to have them take 'bottled sunshine" (cod liver oil), during the winter months. One of the most impor- tant of recent scientific discoveries is the power of direct sunlight, and artificial sunlight, to produce vitamin D which is important in the treatment of hone softening or rickets, and in body building gen- erally, Now, if a city has so much sun- light, such a large amount pf ultra violet rays for its citizens, that city certainly has a right to advertise that fact. What is this going to mean? That cities other than Tucson will get busy and see how their share of sunshine, and the ultra vi- olet rays, compares with others, and it above the general average then newspapers wil] begin to advertiséd that fact. This will mean further that in cities where there is much smoke and dust, and smoke and dust can interfere with these won- derful health-giving rays, there will be concentrated action on the part of the health officer, the 'may- Kor Aller Sumal or, aldermen, and leading citizens, to try to abate the smoke nuisance. Thus the Tucson Citizen in its pioneer act of publishing the inten- ; sity of the ultra violet rays, ad- vertising its pure atmosphere, ts doing a wonderful] piece of health work for the entire continent, ---------------- FAVORS ARBITRATION Ottawa, April 11,--Hon.
