TUESDAY, MARCH 12, 1929 SOME HOPES It was a hopeful message that Mayor Mitchell brought back fom Ottawa after interviewing the minister of public works regarding the develop- ment of Oshawa's harbor, It is true that it is not always wise to depend too strongly on the as» gurances given by politicians of serious consideru- tion, but the tone of the interview with the Hon, J. C. Elliott was such as to give rise to the hope that the supplementary estimales may contain something for work at the local harbor, The 'strong point stressed by the mayor, that the work already done would be nullified unless it were carried through to some semblance of completion, must appeal to all reasonable men, Kven in times of financial stringency it is neces» sary to spend money to save what has previously been spent, and it cannot be said that the present is po time of stringency. Indeed, the time would seem to be most propitious for continuing the work which was started at the Oshawa Harbor, and carrying it through to completion The ever-growing importance of Oshawa as an industrial centre, too, warrants considerable gov- ernmental outlay on its harbor, Its industries would be tremendously benefitted by the provision of facilities for water transportation, and since the government claims to he anxious to stimulate industry, it will, indirectly perhaps, be fulfilling this pledge by completing the Oshawa harbor im- provements, It would be unwise, of course, to take anything for granted, but the people of Oshawa will look forward with hopefulness to the announcement. of the supplementary estimates later in the session of parliament, HONOR WINS There is a real object lesson in the victory of the Rockefeller interests over Col, W, I, Stewart in the fight for control of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana, John D. Rockefeller, jr., avowedly went into the fight with the object of ousting Stewart from his high position, and on the grounds that the record of the colonel in con- nection with the Teapot Dome ofl scandals was open to question, It is generally admitted that Rockefeller was right, and that the evidence which was given by Stewart at the famous trial was such as to cause people to lose confidence in him, Rockefeller felt, as did many others, that a man with such a record should mot be chairman of the board of directors of a great corporation, and he used his great power in what proved to he a successful effort to remove him, Rockefeller succeeded because those involved in the operations of the company were men who believed that the highest honor is essential in the conduct of big business today. High ideals in business are just as essential to success as high financing, and those people who are firm believers in the value of integrity of word, thought and deed will see in the Rockefeller victory something for which there is every reason for congratulation. TOO BUSY TO FIGHT The old war-time slogan "Too proud to fight" of former President Wilson of the United States, had a brief period of fame and of ridicule, An eptirely different sentiment, however, will be felt towards .the statement made by Mussolini a few flays 880 to the effect that Italy was "Too busy fo think of war." That is a happy condition for any country, When the people are busily engaged in their occupa- tional pursuits, and are prospering, they have little time to think of the grievances, real or im- aginary, which are the causes of war, When people are busy, they are too well satisfied with their lot to dream of ruining their prosperity by plunging into war. Thus it would appear that the best safeguard against war is that condition which Mussolini has declared prevails in Italy today. There is a good moral behind Mussolini's as- sertion, for it proclaims to the rest of the world that the best way to avert war is to build up a busy, happy, contented community. Where such a community exists, there will be little fear of any outburst of enthusiasm for strife with other na- tions. IMPRESSED BY CANADA Charles W. V. Trufitt, business manager of the continental edition of the London Daily Mail, which 4 received the welcome four-page news sheet every, day when in rest billets, is on a visit to Canada, and" is finding his experiences in this country very pleasant, While visiting Brantford, he was asked for his impressions of the country, and his reply was highly flattering. His chief impressions were those of the loyalty of the Canadian people to the British crown, their kindness and generosity and their commend- able hospitality, He was also impressed by the heal- thy, good-living appearance of Canadians, and the scarcity of poverty stricken areas such as are com- mon in the old land and in Europe. These are good impressions for a visitor of this type to take back with him. A man in newspaper life has many opportunities for expressing his ideas of the places he visits, and if Mr, Trufitt used his position 'to make these ideas of Canada and Cana- dians more widely known, he will be rendering this country a great service, It is well, too, that such impressions are possible in this country, Canada stands high in its manner of life, and in the genuine friendliness of its people, because most of them are sprung from a hospitable race, and are only too willing to practice in this new land the attributes which were common to their ancestors in the old, FREE TREES The provincial department of lands and forests, through its forestry branch, is making an inter- esting offer to the farmers of Ontario in the in- terests of forest conservation and preservation, The department is prepared to supply to any far- mer of the province, free of charge, as many as 4,000 young trees, the only provision being that they be planted -and cared for so as to give them an opportunity to grow and reach a commercial slze, This offer has now been in effect for several years, and each year the number of trees dis- tributed has increased, This year the department is planning to distribute 14,000,000 young trees fo those who ask for them, This is an oppor tunity which has not as yet heen fully grasped in this district, Last year, 127 persons in Ontario county made application for supplies of young trees, and they received a total of 169,990 trees. For one year, this was a fairly good record, but when it is considered that in some counties over one million trees a year have been planted, it will be seen that the farmers of Ontario county are not taking full advantage of the opportunities offered, There is plenty of land in the county which is suitable for {ree planting, but good for little else, It can be made productive land for the farmer with vision by the planting of thousands of trees, And when the trees are offered free of charge, surely there can be no obstacle in the way of full participation in this worth-while re- forestation plan, EDITORIAL NOTES In changing its name to "East Windsor" Ford City is showing a spirit of real ingratitude to the man who made its existence possible. Now that he is out of the White House and back to private life, it will be possible for Calvin Coo- lidge to loosen his vocal chords without getting into trouble for what he says, A Michigan woman refused to carry water while her husband made home-brew, She might have made a more effective protest by carrying the water and pouring it over him, Peterboro aldermen are to be paid $5.00 for every meeting they attend, There should be no difficulty in getting the council members together for special meetings with that inducement, The idea of having an unfailing electric beacon erected on a high hill as a memorial to Sir Adam Beck must strike every ci.izen of Ontario As 8 most appropriate way of honoring - his memory, In seven out of the twelve months of last year, the mines of Canada were the largest pro- ducers for the railways, Which shows that the activity of the mining industry does good to more people than merely the stockholders in the mines, -- The Ontario Hydro Commission has cut an- other melon in division of surpluses to the muni- cipalities which are partners in the system. But unfortunately this only includes those municipal- ities which own and operate their own hydro plants, ~ Other Editors' Comment ~ SCANDAL OF THE MINERS (London Daily Express) The plight of the workless miners is shaming us re the world, It is making Great Britain the nd wealthiest mation on earth, an object of pity- ing commiseration, Subscription funds for British miners are actually being opened in various cities of the Empire and in the United States--as we had neither the means nor the generosity to re- lieve their distress. This is an intolerable and a humiliating situation. But goodwill alone, a mere aimless pouring out of sympathy or money, LIVING COSTS (Victoria Times) Figures just published by the Canadian Depart- ment of Labour show that what one dollar would buy in the way of necessaries of life in 1913 now demands from $155 to $158, Capadians meed not be unduly alarmed about this condition. The year 1928, compared with the years since 1922, shows very little difference. In comparison with other countries, our advance of 58 per cent over pre-war living fis compares favorably with the 70 per cent rease in States and 68 per cent United Kingdom. pe ts - - Bits of Verse - - aaa SS " A BROOK Displease with my haif-wriiten verse, I rambled out at eve, Only to find the gueen of stars Pale-wrapt in heavven's sleeve.

Barton, M.D. FRUITS AND VEGETABLES When our ancestors had to hunt for their food they had bodies like our own, However they were never absolutely certain just' when their next meal would be at hand, and so they ate most heartily when they se- cured some trophy of the hunt, They ate herbs of course, but the big part of the meal was animal flesh, When a little later agriculture and frujts came to hand, there was less need for flesh. These, with oils or fats, and water, complete the varie- ties of food now available to man, To this day some folks feel that they need meat three times a day because their ancestors were big meat eaters, Other individuals believe that now there is the different grain foods that these with fruit and milk, should be the ideal food for man. However although man is the same type of being as his ancestors, with the pass- ing of the ages there certainly have been changes in the glandular system, influenced also by the climate of the different countries inhabited by man, and with these changes have came differences in the manner in which foods are handled by different races in the world, and also by the differ. ent types of people of the same race, What is my thought? An Artic explorer, Steffanson, re- ports that our Eskimos living on meat alone never have cancer, and McGarrison, tells us that the na- tives of India, living on fruits and vegetables, never have cancer, nor do they have intestinal trouble of any kind. Now for the rest of us that live in a temperate climate it would seem that some point half way between the extreme meat cater, and the ex- treme vegetarian would be about right, If we err at all it is likely in eat- ing too much meat, which should be a good part of the everyday diet of a farmer, mechanic, or others work- ing hard with their hands, but should be about one seventh of the daily diet of an office man, However there is one place where we can't make a mistake and that is in cating plenty of fruit and vege- tables no matter where we live or the nature of our work. Dr, M, E, Bircher tells us that "a fruit and vegetable diet, largely raw, carried out for from four to six weeks acted 'to bring a high or low viscosity of the blood to normal. fn other words if the "stickiness" Prepared by Rev Clarence Wilson D2, Ror Commisgion on Fangelism of Peden!
