PAGE IX aE En -- . Big World Events . 5 tion have made him famous, is still utterly mysterious, ~ His faith in evolution is unshaken, but he admits he is still at sea as to the actual mode and process. The second not able address worthy of widest pub- licity was that given by Dr. L. 0. Howard, 'Chief of the Bureau of Entomology of the U. 8, Depart- ment of Agriculture. In a way that conld be easily followed, he des- cribed the ceaseléss battle in "pro- gress unknown to the great mass of humanity, between the human race and _insects, The latter hé deseribed as '"'man's greatest ene- my." Insects are the greatest rivals to man's control of nature. They threaten his life in their ability to carry disease, they shorten his focd supplies both as crops and when stored, as well as in his animal meat, they destroy clothing and other essential comforts, and in many ways they are better fitted for existence on earth than man is. It was vital to mankind to combat and bring under control the great group of insects that made war on hum- anity. Greece is in the limelight again, and % would not be surprising if there should soon be an end to her ill-starred venture against the Turk: ish Nationalists. Her forces are apparently unable to make further advances against -Angora, her treas:- ury is depleted, and there is much unrest among the people. It is sid that Britain has lifted the embargc upon loans to Greece imposed . in January, 1921, and that Greece was authorized to take steps to obtain leans from British banks not to ex- ceed fifteen million pounds. A car- dinal condition is that the proceeds of such loans be expended on the purchase of supplies in Britain. There seems to be little doubt that negotiations looking to the edlling of the war between wreece and Turkey are pending. The chief 4if fieulty 'is to find a way whereby Greece may withdraw from her posi tion without losing her dignity. She desires to hold Symrna, and in thi the allies are said to concur. Bu' it is thought that certain conces sions will be given to the allies thers in return for the aid of fhe latter toward ending an intolerable sitn- ation. The rich commercial possi bilities of Symrna are fully recog- nized by both Turks and Greece. The latter believes that the exploit- ation of that territory would soon! enable her to meet obligations to] others and would prove a source of future revenue that wonld restore Greek finances to the healthy con-! dition of a few years ago. Behind, all thie trouble internal and external confronting the Greek government, is a real menace to the throne. King; Constantine seems to have lost .in the gamble for increased personal} prestige and territorial gain for Greece beyond that made as a ward by the allies, : When the Progressives declined | to enter the DomintonCabifiet, Hon. | Mr. King was naturally compelled | to fall back on such material as was | available for its formation. The sue-| sess of his work must be judged {later on hy results. What seccn:s' apparent at this moment is that al-| though Hon. Mr, Crerar, the Pro-; gressive leader, and a number of his | chief aides were offered and declined | Cabinet positions, the party will gen- erally give support to the govern- ment headed by Mr. King. Mr. Crer- ar will not accept the salary of Opposition leader, although his roup is the next largest to that of | the government, or Liberal 'group. This means that the Progressives | ¥ill hold themselves free to vote for or against the government as they | deem best, and not as an opposi- tion group, but as one independent! of all others. A sharp controversy | is now proceeding as to the action] of the lately defeated government in accepting before formally resign- ing office, the resignation of Mr, Casselman, member for Grenville and appointing him to a position though a nominal one, whereby h¢ receives emolument from the Crown. | This is done in order to provide « | seat for Hon. Arthur Meighen, the | defeated premier, who is wanted ir! the Commons to lead the Conserva- tive group, which will be the recog- nized opposition. The nomination for Grenville has heen fixed fo February 12, with voting on ti: 26th of the same month. The new premier has expressed disapprov of the methods adopted by the dy government to find a seat for Hon Mr, Meighen. Mr. Cassels mna- jority at the general elections was some 2,000.

Many Given Shelter The industrial depression and the acute scarcity of sleeping accommo- dation im Oshawa is reflected by the fact that during the year the police cells provided sleeping accomodation for 156 people. Although it i¢ not mentioned in the report, it will sur prise many people to know that of this number not a few were commer cial travellers and even some wom- en who, being unable 1» secure a hed in local hotels and boarding houses. applied to the police for shelter. None were ever turned away who ap- plied. Of course the large number of men travelling from place to place looking for work increased the num ber of might wisitors who sought somewhere to lay their head, and few mights pass in the year. partic- ularly in the winter months, withor some weary and foot-worn traveller asking for assistance. In many cases that assistance has taken the form of mot only a bed im the cells, but not a few meals paid for by the kind hearted officers out of their own pockets. It might alsd be moted. that not a few have been given shel- ter in the old town hall from time to time. . Lost Ohildeen Found During the year it fell to the lot of the police to search for and find 43 children who were reported as strayed from the family fold. This sidelight of the work has perhaps a more human touch than the mumer- duties that the police are called wpon te perform, but it shows that the scope of the police work goes be- yond that of bringing to justice and protecting life and property. It is zratifying to the officers from time t- time to hear the thanks from mothers whese children are found through police efforts. - DOING THEIR PART Kansas City Star: "it's time for the world to acknowledge that ms poor bat honest waitresses and them pampered daughters of the idle rich are sisters under the skin. as some Lelia says?!" asserted Heloise of the vid-fire restaurant.

Y.M.C.A. by Mr. J. H. Ormiston last! evening. There was a splendid at] tendance of members who met for the regular weekly luncheon and the | talk on the "Second Mile in.

"Such an admonition ov| counsel, I contend, would «I put into every day practise, revolutionize the whole social fabric of the world, it] would in a measure, if not wholly. | bring about a better understanding between capital and labor and viee versa; it would solve many of our great national problemsg#such as our duty to the men who fought in hat tles overseas; our duty to the foreign ers coming in thousands annually 10 our shores; our individual duty to the state, and above all, our duty to our Creator and ourselves." Neither the employee who was al-! ways watching the clock for quitting | time, afraid to do one moments' more | work without pay, nor the employer | who took an interest only in his em- ployees' daily service and the maxi- mum amount of work he could out of him, were going the second mile, Mr. Ormiston stated. The em- get | ployer must take an interest in his mployees' social welfare as well asl his work in the shop, and the em- ployee must seek to give the maxi- mum of service thinking not only of mere dollars and cents, if both were to go the second mile.
