The fund, which is being sponsored by The Times on behalf of ile distressed British miners, has not, as yet, been given the support here which the circumstances warrant, Surely this cannot be because the people of Osh- awa are apathetic to the needs of their less fortu- nate brothers and sisters across the ocean, Surely it cannot be that they are indifferent to the sufier- ings of these victims of circumstances over which they Lave no control, but which are forcing them into destitution. The message of the Lord Mayor of London, published in yesterday's issue of The Times, cannot be misunderstood. "We must have, and we expect to sald, "a much larger total than has reached." In providing that much larger total that is so greatly needed, the péople of Oshawa are being given zn 'opportunity to play a part, Let it not be said that they allowed the appeal of their brother and citer Dritizhers to go unheeded. get," he yet been ICY SIDEWALKS A letter appeared in Monday's issuc of The Times calling attention. to the dangerous icy condition of the sidewalks of the city, and asking why action is not taken to make these conditions safer for pedes- triens, ceived, urging thut this subject be kept alive, and claiming that it is a real menace to the public safety. All of this is very true, and while it might be possible to bave some precautions taken, in the mat- ter of keeping the icy surfaces covered with sand, iliere are reasonable limits to all demands, For in- gtance, no one should expect that the city fathers would provide sufficient sand, and the labor neees- sary to distribute it, to cover all the city sidewalks every time they become icebound. That would be 50 expensive and tremendous an undertaking that it swweuld have quite an effect on the civic expenditures, On the other hand, there are certain thickly-trav- ciled areas which ought to be given attention by the civie authorities, so that these, at least, can be made £3 safe as possible, For the rest, this is largely a matter of co-opera- If each eciti- ven would undertake to place ashes, sand, or some such material on the sidewalk in front of his or hier own property, it would be a light task for each ene, and yet it would be done effectively, That would provide, perliaps, the best solution to the problem, and would be more feasible than asking the eity to provide a complete coverage of the icy areas on the gtreets and sidevalks, COMMUNIST TEACHINGS The Biratford Deacon-Herald makes caustic com- mente on the proceedings of a meeting held in Tor ronto recently by delegates of a league of young peo- pie known 2s the "Young Pioneers," an offshoot of the Communist party, This organization had a meeting of delegates from Ontario and Quebec, thirty-five in number, and what arouses the genial Stratford editor is the fact that it was announced after the meeting that the newspapers would not print what the young people had to say. Thais throws a startling sidelight on the activities cof thes: young Communists, What was going on ot the meeting, and vhat was being said, that was uafit for publication. If that statement, made by the "leaders of thc riovement, were justified, then there is room for a searching investigation. That children, between the ages of six and four- teen years of nge should be subjected to teachings whieh will not stand ihe light of day in the public press, is intolerable, znd the sooner an organization arhieh persists in this kind of thing is smashed, the beiter it vill be for the welfare of Canada and the gad of iis young boys ond girls.

What could be more fl.ting then,' than that thé people of Canada shoud join in devout thanks- giving for the preservation of the life of King George. This a matter in which one naturally looks to the churches for leadership, and many of the people of Canada now have their eyes turned in that direction, waiting for the call to national prayer of gratitude to the One Great Preserver of us all, : A VALUABLE VOLUME The annual statistical and review number of "The Monetary Times', recently off the press, is an impressive volume. To the investor, or the man who is interested in the industrial, financial and commercial progress of the dominion, it has a decided value, since it presents a thorough sur- vey of conditions as they have been in 1928, and as they arc likely to be in 1929, Most important of all, perhaps, is the spirit of optimism which runs through it, and is particular- ly reflected in the many articles written by the leaders of the important industries of the coun- try. In every department of activity recorded, hopes arc high that the prosperity of 1928 will be continued, and even accentua.ed, in 1929, and the review, as a whole, points to a greater and bigger future for the dominion. than {its people could ever have dreamed of a few ycars ago, HARDSHIPS OF PUBLIC LIFE The news despatch which intimated that the admirers of 7. P, O'Connor, the veteran British sta.esman, are to present him with a trust fund which will provide an annuity for him for life, brings to the fore the question of the recompense which men receive for a lifetime of service in public lite. T, P, O'Connor has been in public Jite for a long time--over forty years--and is now eighly years of age. But his public service has kept him so busy that he has had little oppor- tunity to provide for himself the financial r serves which he might have accummulated had he remained a private citizen and devoted the whole of his time and ability to the making of money, Mr, O'Connor is not the only distinguished Bri- tish statesman who has found himself in this posi.ion when ncaring the end of a life of public service, There have been many others, spending themgzelves for the cause of their fcllow-citizens, have found, when the twilight of life approached, that they had very little funds with which to support themselves, This is one of the hardships of intensive public service, It pays little in cash dividends, and yet, it has its compensations, There is always the satisfdction of knowing that life has been spent, not for se.fish purposes, but in doing what could be done, to make it happier and brighter for others, EDITORIAL NOTES No man thinks a woman is good enough for him unless she is tco good. : interested in exceeds the The demand for a man who is someone hesides himself always supply.

PRAYER---O Thou My God, save That Body of Pours By James W. Barton, M.D. A NEW WORD-DIATHERMY Whenever a new word arrives you are naturally anxious to know where it comes from and what it means, One of the new words is diathermy, a form of heat, which is taking its place in medicine and surgery. It comes from the two words dia through, and therm heat, which means a "method of treatment by the creation of heat" within the human body, instead of the application of heat 16 tho surface of the body. Diathermy is obtained from the high frequency current; just another of Nature's gifts to wan, Some weeks ago I spoke about Dr. Crile's method of heating the pa- tient's internal organs by this meth- od, before and during an operation, 80 a8 to keep these organs at the proper degree of temperature, Any considerable loss of animal heat at this time may prove dangerous and the shock interfere with the patient's recovery. Now the use of this form of heat to the inside of the body does not mean that the application of heat to the outside of the hody will be discontinued in the days to come, As a matter of fact, the applica. tion of heat to the outside of hody is to increase the circulation of the blood itself, as when hot water bags, or other heating appliances are put about the outside of the body, over half of the entire blood supply is Immediately beneath the skin--at the surface of the body. With diathermy however the skin or surface is not affected, the heat being applied directly to the internal organs, Thus in pneumonia or a broken bone that is knitting slowly, where you want more local action, dia- thermy increases the activity of the cells and quicker results are obtained. This means less "drain" on the body's natural resources, However where there are pus con- ditions such as acute appendicitis, diathermy is not used as it might cause the infection to spread. Al- though diathermy is in its infancy there is no question but that in cap- able hands it will be one more meth- od of helping man to help himself.

EDUCATION URGED T0 AID CHARACTER Broader Point of View Is Needed, Sir Robert Falconer Declares Montreal, Jan, 30.--~Education tend- ing to instil in human character the virtues of justice, sincerity, sympathy and self-control, so that men of dif- ferent nationalities will be better able to understand one another was advocated by Sir Robert Falconer, president of the University of Tor- onto, speaking at the Columbus Forum on the "Educational Factor in Character," "We must be true to ourselves," he said, "gain breadth in outlook and endeavor to impart to our interna- tional education a broader point of view, We want to educate our people to know that there is a much wider world than Canada and that objec- tive can only be reached by educat- ing them in the principles which un- derlie human laws." National Spirit cial matters. Sir Robert believed that the na- tional spirit was better developed to- day than it was a century ago and considered that the which are now being held in connec- tion with peace pacts, the League of Nations and the necessity of inter-, national law, augured well for the future.

I was struck with a walk with a young lad, I en: quired if he could tel, me whether le;s first, He gave .he answer correctly, which I thougbt very good, but I am afraid not all my town friends could explain how tue horse and the cow lie down and rise again, The asking of the other question .ed to an interest- i|ing conversation on domestic ani- mals, In the case of the horse the fore legs touch the ground first, and he lies with his legs bent un- cer the body, In rising the fore legs are first raised and bent, then straightened and thrust forward, and the body raised by an effort of the hind legs. The cow firs. kneels, then tucks her hind legs under her body, but when getting up the hind legs are raised first. Just notice the difference the next walk you take into the country. » LJ * I once saw a bee fast ssleep undernea h a scarlet runner flow- er, and it was c.inging on by fits «eet, so Shakespeare was quite right when he said: Where the bee sucks there lurk f; They will be plaec- | In a cowslip's bell I lie: this the other day when, out for a horse risee on its hind or fore There I couch when owls do cry.
