Sigal lie FRIDAY, MAY 25, 1928 WHEN PUBLICITY 1S NEEDED We have a great deal of admiration for the Woodstock Sentinel-Review because of an editorial which recently appeared in its columns headed: "A Definite Policy Laid Down." The editorial is such a clear-cut statement of a policy that we believe should be adopted by every self. respecting and law- abiding newspaper that we reprint it here- with in'full: "One. of the greatest menaces to public safety on the highways is the intoxicated au- tomobile driver, Hon, George 8, Henry, min- ister of highways, at a recent meeting in Toronto, was particularly emphatic in stat- ing that the drunken driver must be elimin- ated from the highways of this province, Such offenders, he said, deserve the limit of the law, "Prominent newspaper publishers at that meeting expressed the opinion that names of men convicted of driving their cars while they are under the influence of liquor should not be suppressed in the-publication of police court news, as publicity is a great deterrent to crime and the newspapers should lend their hearty support to the government in this respect in assisting it to enforce the Liquor Control Act, "The Sentinel-Review agrees with this sen- timent, Intoxicated drivers have had very little sympathy or consideration from The " Sentinel-Review in the past, but in view of the importance of this feature of public safe- ty, we believe it to be in the interests of law' enforcement and the protection of life and "property that we define definitely our atti- | fui towards police court offenders convicted ®f driving while drunk, i "The Sentinel-Review will henceforth ad- here strictly to the policy of publishing the names and addresses of all persons convicted of this character of offence, It will make no difference who the offender is, rich or poor, high or low, influential or unknown. The Sentinel-Review makes this statement in the interest of those compelled to use the high- ways. and we hope the promise of publicity for all such offenders will serve as a warn- ing, and will act as an effective deterrent to pll those who may be tempted to offend." As a matter of fact The Oshawa Daily Times has been following for some consid- erable time the policy enunciated by The Sentinel-Review and we believe this policy has been an important factor in deterring this particular class of offenders, There are few things more positively dangerous to hu- man life than a8 drunken automobile driver. Booze and gasoline are a poor combination and publicity in the newspapers is one way to impress on those who think they can take long chances with public safety that they had better leave their car in the garage NIAGARA FALLS by BUS Regular 1rips Each SUNDAY su Dl ot ay Everyone should take in these wonderful scepic trips.

The rights and interests as a whole are greater than the supposed rights or selfish interests of any individual, HYPERTROPHISTS ALL "Hypertrophy" is the name given by a . university scientist to the disease which af- flicts "any one who becomes fanatical in his love for a particular sport." He describes it as a growth. This undoubtedly represents an advance in science, but it will not detract from the en- thusiasm of a fan to know what ails him when he is shouting himself hoarse at a foot- ball or baseball game in which his team is winning. Neither will his calling it a dis- ease cause golfers to trade their bags of clubs for a tennis outfit. Devotion to a particular sport is almost a national characteristic. Hence, we must be a race of hypertrophists, That individual is rare who divides his love equally between two or more sports, ¢ However, does it not follow naturally, logi- cally and scientifically that those who devote themselves to a particular phase of litera- ture, art, music, work or science are equally unbalanced? Those afflicted with a mania for one of the several branches of sport will suspect that the discoverer of hypertrophy was talking in self-defence or to ease his own mind when he concluded that the mental hypertrophists suffer fewer ill effects from the disease than do the physical hypertro- phists. - The former are, it may be said, de- lightfully unbalanced, while the latter are victims of corns, bunions, boils, sore throats, athletic hearts and Charley horses.

Owns, generally known as "Ted" Owens, was found dead this morning on King street by Patrolman Dell Hart, of the Fredericton police. The body had a threecornered gash in the front of the skull above the right eye, and a fractured skull. Death was probably instantaneous. Owens and a friend bad occu- pied a room in the house at the spot where his body was found. From indications on the premises, it appeared, according to authori- ties, that Owens for some un- known reason left the house by a window and fell to his death. There were scratches on the roof of the portico which surmounts the front door of the house, and putty had fallen from one of the window sashes. The friend is being held as a material witness for the inquest. MURDER APPEALS DISMISSED London, May 22. --- Appeals against the death sentence in the cases of Frederick Guy Browne and William Henry Kennedy, who were jointly convicted of the murder of Police Constable Gutter- idge at Stapleford Abbotts, x, on September 27 last, were dis- misser today by the Court of Ap- peal, presided over by Lord How- art, Lord Chlef Justice of Eng- land. Browne was not present but Kennedy appeared at the ap- peal court, and the wives of both of the condemned men were in court. The courtroom was crowded. (Registered in accordance with th Copaaans Act). ho lie BUILDING UP THE HEART When we received instructions as to the examination of recruits for the war, we were not permitted to pass a candidate who had a heart murmur, Despite the fact that he was often a splendid athlete, a distance rum- ner perhaps, with a record of win- ning cross country championships of 7 to 10 miles, we were not permit: ted to accept him for war services. Thanks to the work of Sir Jas. Mac- Kenzie it was demonstrated that heart murmurs in themselves were not important, but the condition or + | the strength of the heart muscle it- self, was the important factor. The idea was that a heart is just & pump with s6 much blood to pump to all parts of the body. Now if the heart had a little leak (which causes the murmur) but despite that leak was pumping sufficient bleod, then why bother about the leak, If how- ever the heart, even without a leak, did not have power enough to pump sufficient pure blood to all parts, then that was naturally a more serl- ous matter. 1 And so the thought now is to build up the heart muscle and gets its ner- vous mechanism regulated and strengthened, and give no thought to the murmurs, | And how is this done? In only one way, that is by exer- cise. To tide hearts aver emergencies, drugs such as digitalis and strych- nine are given, but they are after all only stimulants, whereas develop- ment of the heart muscle is what is really needed. Accordingly walks of various dis- tances on the level, or up certain elevations, have been used. This answers in many cases but the physician is always on the alert lest the patient overdo the exercise. However a simple invention of Dr. K. Hertzell should be of help when exercise is first taken, It consists of a tricycle in the running of which both arms perform rowing movements, while the legs make treading movements. This means that the weight of the body is really supported by the tricycle but the movement of the arms and legs calls for the use of the muscles in arms and legs, and the heart must pump the blood regu- larly and rhythmically to these parts. Used op a flat surface this would appear to be a safe manner in which to build up the heart muscle. After a few months, more vigorous exercise such as walking uphill, or slow running on the level, may be taken. This tricycle will invite use, and the heart patient will do the exer- cise more readily. What Others Say THE CHANGE (Detroit News) Graham: "Your wife now, eh?" Wilcox: "How did you guess?"

TEMPERANCE EDUCATION (St. Marys Journal-Argus) The failure of the temperance re- form forces to hold permanently the ground won in the various pro- vinces of Canada has served to em- phasize the need of educating the oncoming generation along temper- ance lines, a matter which has heen sadly neglected during prohibition years and with very apparent and unfortunate result.

After prohibition came into force the need for these organiza- tions was no longer felt and they gradually fell away. It is now vecognized on all sides that the letting up on temperance educa- tion was a greal mistake and to- day efforts are being initiated through tlie province to restore the temperance lodge. Jt would appear that there is a work for such or- ganizations to do. In the rural sec- tions they can fill a dual purpose as temperance lodge and social cen- tre and self-improvement society. Educational temperance is today 'receiving attention in the public schools, churches and Sunday schools. The temperance lodge, Loo, should fill a worth-while place in co-operating in the furthering of this important work. LIFE'S DRUDGERIES (Ottawa Journal) We feel sorry for any boy who can't see life for its drudgeries are simply processes for sorting out the fit and the unfit. They look be- yond, and take the drudgeries as so many hurdles. And in this age, whieh is youth's, there are more things for the boy to see heyond the horizon of 21 than ever before, There is the air, the conquest of which is ycét to be completed, chemistry, the development in which, great as it already is, mere- ly is a promise of what is. yet to come; engineering, in all 'its. va- ried branches from the harness- ing of water power for generating electricity to the reclamation of jungles by sanitation: govern- ment, the problems of which never called more urgently for solution than they do now.
