D, 'Tresidder, repre. sentative, : REPRESENTATIVES IN 0.5. Powers and Stone, Inc, New York and Chicago, wm THURSDAY, JANUARY 31, 1929 A DUTY OF CITIZENSHIP On Monday evening next, the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce will hold an important general meet- ing, While there will be an interesting speaker, one of the chief features of the meeting will be the appointment of a nominating commitiee to bring in a tentative hoard of directors for election, This very factor in the proceedings makes the meeting one of vital importance, The Chamber of Commerce, by its very nature, should be one of the greatest of civic organizations, It has functions which go beyond those of any other body in the community, and in a city like Oshawa, there is a wide field for its constructive endeavors, Yet the Chamber of Commerce can only func- tion successfully as it receives the hearty sup- port of the citizens in general. That support can best be exemplified in two ways; first, by membership in the organization, and second, by regular attendance at its meetings, The duty of citizenship is no respecter of per- sons, and falls alike on all classes in the com- munity, And one of the duties of citizenship in Oshawa is that of giving support to the Chamber of Commerce. It is not a duty which should be lightly overlooked. One way in which it can be observed is by at- tendance at the Chamber of Commerce meeting of next Monday. It requires the construciive thought of representative citizens of all classes to select those men who are to guide its destinies in the next year, and those who are really inter- ested in the progress of Oshawa will make a point of being there. THE LEGISLATURE PROGRAM The Ontario legisiature has a leavy program ahead of it, Included in the speech from the throne, delivered at the opening yesterday, are items of new legislation which will require careful thought, consideration and debate. The old age pensions' measure is only one of the importan. subjects, Others which will require careful study are the legislation to regulate the mining ine dustry, the proposal to deal with frauds in real estate 'transaciions, legislation for the preserva- tion of the province's pulpwood resources, and the government's immigration proposals. - There are many other matters of the greatest import. ance, but these wiil suffice to show the nature of the program which lies ahead. There is only one thing which should be guarded against in the consideration of this mass of mew legislation, The government has a large majority--too large, in fact, for really effective legislation. There is a tendenoy, in cases like this, to use the steam-roiler method of putting through Jegislation, to crush the opposition by sheer foree of numbers. It has been done before, and it will very likely be dome again. But any government which chooses, because of its own strength, to ignore 'the suggestions and constructive criticism of an opposition is stand- ing in its own light. No government, whatever its political views, has a monopoly of all -the brains in the legislative hells on its side of the house, And it is just possible that those on the opposi- tion benches may have ideas to offer which might improve some of the proposed legislation. The very fact that the government has so large 2 majority should be an incentive to it to con- sider carefully any opposition criticisms, instead of pooh-poohing them just because they come from 'the opposite side of the house. AN INSURANCE RATES PROTEST It is announced that the Ontario Motor League is to make a vigorous protest to the Ontario gov- ernment against the increase in automobile in- surance rates. Motorists generally will join with The amount of the. in- crease seems to be wholly unjustifiable, and seems like an attempt to make the traffic bear just as much as it can be made to carry, or even more. : While the companies handling automobile in- surance business may feel that they can-do just as they like, and that they have the motorists at their mercy, there is an inzlienable sense of right and wrong which cannot be violated with im- puntly. The weakness of the position of the insurance companies is that so far they have produced no ponerete evidence to show that the increase is ae. iio, but have ueait largely in generalities. i The motorists of Ontario. would not be likely to raise objection to a reasonable increase if and when it can be shown that it is necessary and justified, but that has not yet been proven with any degree of saiisfaction: : ' The protest of the motor league should at least secure an investigation which will disclose the actuarial basis for the rates which are being put into effect, so that the policy-holders will know conclusively whether or not the companies have any real reason for making so substantial an in- 'crease, : THE PRINCE'S TRIP It is a sorrowful pilgrimage which the Prince of Wales is making through the mining areas of northern England, Wherever he goes he is find- ing himself face to face with conditions of poverty and destitution which are taxing the skill of writ. ers to describe, And it is little wonder that the prince is finding it hard to frame words to ex- press his sympathy for the sufferers, Mere words of sympathy, however, are of little use to the suffering miners and their families, They need practical assistance, the kind of assist- ance that will enable them to keep body and soul together, that will make it possible for the miners to feed and clothe their children, That is why an empire-wide movement has taken place to raise funds for the relief of the British miners, That is why the people of Oshawa are being given an opportunity to do their part in helping to ease the sufferings of their fellow- Britishers who are in need. May. it not be said of them that they did not respond to such a call. HIT-AND-RUN DRIVERS Chief Justice Meredith has become rather noted for his outspoken comments on the laws which he is entrusted with helping to enforce. Not long ago he came to the forefront with some strong ideas as to the rights of police officers to shoot suspected criminals, The other day at London, he made an- other forceful suggestion, to the effect that hit-and- run motorists who knock down people and kill them should be tried for murder. Although he raised the question as to which was the proper charge in a case of this kind, the law, a3 it stands, allowed manslaughter, and not murder, to be charged, The point of the judge's remarks is that he wishes to bring home to the public the enor- mity of the offence of a motorist running away from the scene of an accident, It is true that this is a heinous aggravation of the act of being involved in an accident that is much too common, and judges can do much to bring home to the motoring public generally its seriousness by the manner in which they administer justice, EDITORIAL NOTES A cold bath is like an egg; those who achieve it always cackle, d If China must learn to fight, let us be thankful that it is all home work, A law is not judged by the number of jails, but by 'the numbér it keeps righteous. Kids naturally believe in evolution, anyway. They 'think they're an improvement on the old folks. Failures think Easy street is full of road hogs. A small man can be just as dangerous as a big one, but he seldom is. Still, if there were no Btrangers, on whom would people practice good manners? A child is too old to spank only when it'is too old to need it. « Other Editors' Comment po A FRIENDLY HAND (Jos Angeles Times) Some of the Canadian sta.esmen think it a bit nervy of us to ask them to adopt laws and rules to help us enforce our prohibition amendment. Well, there is no harm in. asking. We seem to need all the help we can get. The Canadians may want something of us some day. "HELP FOR THE AGED (Brooklyn Eagle) In provision for the aged America is far behind s0mé other couniries. Our statesmen have balked at old age pensions, Perhaps they were wise in doing 80, but some substitute provision is requir. ed by the exigencies of an age in which medical and surgical science are doing more than ever be- for for the prolonging of human life, TO ENCOURAGE INDUSTRY . (Galt Reporter) After naming an industrial committee, the council of the Board of Trade last night discussed the question of what policy should be followed in an effort to build up Galt industrially. Features which stood out in the discussion were that the encouragement of small industries, especially those s.arted by local men, would open up the best prospects for securing results. It was polot- éd out that several industries in Galt were helped along between 1900 and 1907 and that these con cerns had not cost the eity a cent in the finish and were to-day thriving concerns. CONQUEROR AND CONQUERED (J. L. Garvin in the London Observer) Germany, where unemployment diminished in 1928 as markedly as it increased in Britain, is more like America in its industrial and com- mercial life than is any other nation on this side of the Atlantic; and the Reich is inspired by the most absolutely confident vision of becoming, when Austria is added, far larger and richer and more powerful than ever. A visitor from Mars, judging, like the old-fashioned French tax-in- spector, by "extérnal indications," might well con- clude that Britain must have been defeated in some Great War. - - Bits of ro .

SHIP SERVICE PROBE ORDERED Ottawd, Jan. 31. -- A thorough investigation is being made by Hon, James Malcolm, minister of trade and commerce, into the ques- tion of steamship service between the Pacific coast and Australia and New Zealand preparatory to any recommendations he may make to the cabinet. There appears to be conflict of view between shippers in British Columbia and steamship concerns a8 to the adequacy of present vessel space and it is because of this ap- parent difference of opinion that the minister is seeking informa- tion. . If more space is required, the government will provide it. TYPEWRITER FIRM HEAD ASKS FOR DIVORCE New York, Jan, 31. -- The New York American says that George B. Smith, president of the Royal Typewriter Company, is suing for divorce'in Nassau county. " Mrs. Mary E. Smith, to wnom he was married in Buffalo nearly a quarter of a century ago, has filed an answer in which she asks $5,- 000 a month alimony, $35,000 counsel fees and $10,000 for ex- penses in defending the action. She claimed that her husband as pres- ident of the Royal Typewriter Co., has an income in excess of $200,- 000 a year.

In a study of loss of appetite in nearly 1600 children between the ages of 1 and 14 years, a research man has divided hip cases into two groups, Organic loss of appetite in which a definite cause for the condition could be determined; functional loss of ap- petite in which an organic cause that could possibly explain the condition could not be found, The commonest conditions that were found in these youngsters with- out appetite were infected tonsils and adenoids, acute infectious afl ments such as scarlet fever, measles, and so forth, tuberculosis, infected teeth, and inflammation of kidneys. Now any young growing animal wants and needs food and is not happy till he gets it, and any young- ster, boy or girl, who doesn't want food is not normal; there is some- thing wrong. In the treatment of loss of appetite, broiled beefsteak, lamb's kidney and fresh-calf's liver were added to the ing results. In a previous article I mentioned the work of a research man who de- monstrated that in addition to being a wonderful blood builder, liver had something within it, some property, that created and stimulated the ap- petite. Hence the double value of liver in the diet. The Vitamin B as found in whole wheat bread, lettuce, and yeast cakes, helps to increase appetite. The thought then is that as all normal youngsters desire food, some- thing is wrong when they don't, and instead of wvoaxing, whipping, or threatening, an examination should be made by the family physician. Of course any youngster may go off his {food for a day or two, but any pro- longed lack of desire for food on the part of the youngster should be treated as a serious matter, and the cause located. A "run down" condition from lack of food 'renders the youngster an easy prey to illness.

A CATCH IN IT A firm of match manufacturers adopted a novel advertising idea. They sent out a man with authority to hand a guinea to any person he came across who produced a box of their matches. At Aberdeen he entered a restaur- a, and approaching a stranger, ask- ed: "Could you oblige me with a match?" "Certainly," replied the Aberdonian handing over a box, which happened to be the make required. "Thank you very much," said the other. "I see you use our matches. My firm authorizes me to hand a guinea to every man I meet who pro- duces one of their boxes--~so there's your guinea." i He turned to leave, but the Aber- donian stopped him. "Hey! Stop there! I thocht there was a catch in it--you're awa' wi' my matches."
