REPRESENTATIVES IN U.S. Powers and Stone, Inc., New York and Chicago, i TUESDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1928 TW CHRISTMAS CHEER Subscriptions are coming in steadily but rather slowly for the Christmas Cheer Fund. Perhaps some people who intend giving to the Fund are waiting to be called on person- ally. If so, we respectfully remind them that the Committee does not make any can- vass for Christmas Cheer donations. The policy of the Committee is to state the need through the newspaper and otherwise and leave it to individuals to open their hearts and their purses to help those less fortunate than themselves at what should be the gladdest, merriest time of the whole year. Those who are able to do so and who do not give to the Fund will make two hearts sad--the heart of some poor person, perhaps some little child, who will have to "go with- out," and their own heart because of the re- gret they will later feel through their failure to respond to the appeal. Let this year's Christmas Cheer Fund be full to overflowing that every need may be met and particularly that no little child may be hungry or disappointed. HELPING BOYS AND GIRLS A little boy in Sunday School was asked how King Saul once threatened David's life, when he was displeased with the former shepherd boy. "By throwing juveniles at him" was the prompt answer. Of course the lad was a little mixed be- tween "juveniles" and "javelins," but in some respects one is as hard to handle as the other, : Having a bunch of spears thrown in your direction by an expert thrower would be ra- ther disconcerting, but most people have had occasion at one time or another to practise dodging. But there is no dodging juveniles. And we may as well face the issue. Here in Oshawa we have been doing some things for the younger boys and girls of which we are proud. Good schools, Sunday schools and playgrounds are some of the things in which all children share. The work of the Rotary Club for crippled children and of the Christmas Cheer Committee for those to whom Santa Claus would otherwise be a may be a petty theft, trespass on the pro- perty of others, damaging property such as breaking windows or jumping haystack, or worse still, some moral character that, unless dealt with in the right way, may result in ruining character and blighting the life of some or girl who might otherwise grow up to a useful and respected citizen. To deal with such cases some special chinery is needed other than the police court into which more mature ers must come. The best system yet mane and emirently helpful. The setting up of 2 properly constituted Juvenile Court is provided for in the Act ro ferred to and the City Council at a recent meeting took steps to have such a Court es- tablished here. We believe the Council made a wise decision in: this matter and we hope "the Council of this or next year will follow it through to a conclusion. We also hope that some person having the desired time, ability and outlook may be found to preside over the Oshawa Juvenile Court when it is established, It is our conviction that a ju- venile court. judge. should be' some person " who has no connection with the regular po- lice court or police department. The boys and girls of a community who do wrong should be treated in an entirely' different manner to adult offenders. A juvenile court should be more a court of helpfulness than a court of law. : INDISPENSABLE The greatest conveniences in life often prove of exceeding inconvenience--many things considered indispensable being the cause of numberless trials and tribulations. Of other things than women it is said, "you can't get along without them and you can't get along with them." Every. thoughtful man wants to own his own home and to acquire other real estate for reasons known to all, but for other very good reasons some, who may, do not. Pos- session of unencumbered real estate invites damage suits, attracts friends in trouble hunting bail and friends in need of money hunting an endorsement for a note, and places the possessor on the sucker-lists of stock 'salesmen and contribution collectors. And there are the taxes to meet. The ways are manifold in which the auto- mobile gives its owner advantages over the non-owner. So many are the uses of the automobile that the average owner is. quick- ly convinced of their indispensability. But the open road is not a path of roses. The way of the motorist is hard--abounding in motor cops, beset with detours and speed traps, obstructed by accidents and damage suits, infested with punctures and empty gas tanks, and approached by twelve monthly payments and usury. And yet, though there be evil seconds in every minute, optimists predominate in this life and pessimism is forbidden by popular edict. Life will be "fair to middlin'" or "tol"able" as long as its advantages counter- act the disadvantages and there remains some semblance of equality between the agreeable and disagreeable phases of human existence. EDITORIAL NOTES Nobody can see a man who is all wrapped up in himself. # FL -- Granddad may have been a sod buster, but not on the golf links. College girls are taking up boxing. They wrestle, also, but it is called dancing. The strangest thing on earth is to go back to the old town and see who has turned out so well. It will have to be conceded that a strong tendency to individuality is mot much help in a spelling bee. Nothing is certain, except that a magazine full of questionable advertising will contain questionable 'stories. Another way to get educated is to won- der if anybody will get your overcoat if you leave it im the car. 7 4 Mother kept that school-girl complexion by occasionally walking five or ten miles past a lot of drug stores.

That Body of Pours By James W. Barton, M.D. Span SAVING LIVES. Sandbw, the strong man, had a habit of eating taffy a few minutes before he went on the stage to do his "strong - man" act. Football players during rest periods are often supplied with molasses taffy, choc- olate bars, or other forms of candy, Many swimmers before entering distance swims in cold water have a habit of eating candy. What is there about sugar that makes it such a valuable food? It js the speed or short time that .| is" required to have it available i the blood. hi . However there are some ailments in which sugar cannot be eaten, be- cause the sugar causes gas in stom- ach or intestine; cases where it would cause nausea and vomiting; other cases in which the patient is unconscious and so cannot avail him- self of this valuable food, And this food is so valuable and physicians so anxious to get it into the pati- ent's blood that they are now in- jecting a sugar solution directly into the muscles. Sugar is not only valuable in itself as a food, but it is necessary also for breaking up fat, and thus mak- ing fat also available for the needs of the body. Fat next to sugar, is the principal source of energy for the body. Dr, Jerome Glaser, Chicago, who has done considerable work with this method, reports his own and other cases of "pneumonia and broncho- pneumonia in which the injection of sugar so enriched the blood that the heart, which after all is only muscle, was immediately strengthened and able to carry the patient past the crisis, . Your doctor will tell you that it is not usually Flu, broncho-pneu- monia, or pneumonia, that causes death, but that the heart simply gets tired out trying to pump blood through congested areas. It is comforting to know that this new and safe method of increasin the blood sugar is now known po. available, It means the saving of many lives where other methods of feeding are impossible, and other heart stimu- lants have been unavailing. Remember also that sugar is a good cheap food. (Registered in accordance with the Copyright Act.) CYRUS NORTHCOTT PROMISES T0 TELL Father of Alleged Murderer Breaks Und:r Strain of Questioning Riverside, Calif., Dec. 12,--Driven by fear of impending judgment and the "hatred and brutality" of his son, Cyprus G. Northcott has brok- en under the strain of questioning and promised to tell, if necessary, all he knows about the "murder farm" activities of his son Gordon Stewart Northcott and his wife, Mrs. Louisa Northcott. Broken by illness and worry, the elder Northcott presented a pitiful picture to Riverside county authori- ties as he related fragments .of the story of his family and their my- sterious life. "If I am called and swear before God to tell all I know about this I will have to tell things about my wife and son," he told deputy district attorney Earl Redwine, "I bate to do it. I don't know why I should love them, but I do, even though they treated me as they did. Stewart's mother taught him 10 make me fear him. He often struck me and threatened to kill me. I was deathly afraid of him and his moth- er was too, if she would admit it."

As to whether or not he will go to Europe, his office here is yet unable to say. Mr. Bennett has had no holiday whatever since over the leadership, He has long planned a brief va- cation trip to the Old Country, but invariably something has arisen to prevent it. was the latest instance of this kind. It he now avails himself of the Christ- mas lull and takes the better part of a month for a trip to the Old Country, Ottawa will not be surpris- ed : taking If he goes, it will be largely for a change and a bit of. rest before the session. Mr. Bennett will make known his plans on returning. CUBA'S SUGAR CROP Havana, Cuba, Dec, 12, -- Cuba's sugar cane acreage is soaring to heights never before known on the island, From end to end an unprecedented planting is in progress. {farmers have been electrified by President Machado"s announcement that the government will lift all restrictions on sugar and allow unlimited plant- ing and harvesting. An enormous crop is in prospect. Old cane fields left unplanted since promulgation of the Taraf1 Act which restricted planting and curtailed sales and shipping, have been retilled and sugar stock dropped into fur- rows, sometimes a mile long. Lands already under cultivation are be- ing utilized to the utmost and where- ever possible acreages are doubling. A general survey of Cuba shows approximately 700 miles of almost continuous sugar cane and fields planted to sugar. From Havana pro- vince on the west to Santiago de Cuba on the east, as far as the eve can see, there ik an almost unbroken panorama of cane, The sugar industry considers iisclf the foundation of Cuba's entire eco- nomic structure. Cheap labor and low operation costs are (declared to give the native industry an advan- tage over sugar producers in the Philippines, Java, and the United States, The Victoria by-election WOODSTOCK GIRL 15 RENARDED FOR ~ DARING RESCUE Carnegie Hero Fund Re wards Canadians For Acts . of Bravery Pittsburgh, Pa, Dec, 12--Mary Ey- elyn Brown, of Woodstock, N.B., has been awarded the bronze medal of the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission for her brave attempt to rescue Leonard I.

Todd, Hi five, from a homicidal attack, Woodstock, N.B., Oct, 11, 1926, Leonard was snatched from his mother in their home by his father, taken to the street, thrown on the ground and attacked with a razor. The man's quarrelsome dispo- sition and threats had the people of the neighborhood in constant fear, Miss Brown in her home heard the boy's mother scream that her child was being murdered; and she grab- bed a bucket of earth and ran to the man. She struck him three times on the back with the bucket, which fell from her hands at the last blow. She then kicked him in the ribs, and he rolled over on his side. A man then arrived and picked up Leonard, whose throat had been cut with the razor, and he died soon afterwards. His father had also cut his own throat, and he died three weeks later. Miss Brown suffered a severe nervous shock." The following is the Commission's summary of the Eisenring resoue: Arnold K Eisenring, aged 27, black- smith's helper died as the result of saving Cecil Dodwell, aged 17, lens blocker, from drowning, Belleville, Ont., June 12, 1927. Dodwell jumped from a boat into deep water in the Bay of Quinte at a point a hundred and eighty feet from shore. As he swam towards shore, he was seized with cramp and called for help.
