An independent newspaper published every ation TORONTO STREET PROPOSALS The report of the Toronto City Planning Com- mission is a decidedly interesting document to all those who are frequent visitors to that city, Even a summary inspection of the report leads at once to the conclusion that the members of the commis- sion have given considerable thought to the press- ing downtown traffic problem of Toronto, and their' recommendations, if adopted to any large extent, would do much to relieve the conditions of conges- tion which have become so troublesome since To- ronto first became attacked by growing pains, There is one aspect of the situation, however, to which attention has yet to be given, and it is an aspect which it is to be hoped the commission has not overlooked completely, The changes proposed are commendable from the standpoint of downtown trafic, but there is another large class to be con- sidered, that class which uses the streets to come in from the great sections lying to the northwest and " northeast of the city, There is, too, that class of motorists which seeks means of passage through Toronto without becoming involved in its jam of trafic on the main business thoroughfares, and which is entitled to have some consideration, From the standpoint of these two classes, the miss. Ang links in the commission's program are even more important than those which have been recom mended, One of the greatest needs of that city is for two wide diagonal streets, one-leading from the busy northwest section, and the other from the northeast section, leading directly to the centre of the city, and probably linking up with some of the new arteries of traffic which are proposed by the town planning body. These two streets would serve tens of thousands of people daily, and would, in ad- dition, make it possible for motorists wishing to pass through Toronto from east and west to escape the congested traffic which is now causing so much trouble in the downtown area, and on the crosstown streets. AN ENEMY TO MANHOOD That large body of citizenship in Canada which is opposed to the use of liquor has found a strong champion in Premier Saunders of Prince Edward Island, Speaking in Ottawa a few days ago, he issued a stirring challenge to the liquor traffic, and upheld the retention by his province of its liquor prohibition act by citing conditions pre- vailing there, With strict prohibitory legislation, efficiently enforced, conditions there are such that the province has only had one divorce in its en- tire history, there is no extreme poverty, and there is no place where the people are more happy, prosperous and contented, That is a conclusive answer to those who claim that prohibitory legislation as far as liquor is coccerned cannot be made effective, . The keynote of Premier Saunders' address, however, is worth quoting, which is as follows: "I believe intoxicating liquor sold as a bev- erage, causes more injury than war, pestilence or famipe. Some people advocate govern- ment control because of the increased rev- enue, but you cannot measure manhood in dollars and cents, and in such a matter as this the treasury is the last thing to be con- sidered." Fortunate, indeed, is the province which has a man such as this as the head of ils government. In too marty of the provinces of Canada the cries of poiitical partizans have beén allowed to drown the cries of lost manhood, manhood broken down by the use of liquor, . Prince Edward Island is the smallest of the provinces of Canada, but in its leadership it can well lay claim to rank with the greatest of all, since it considers the value of its manhood before the value of votes and of a financial surplus bolstered by revenue from the sale of liquor. LEADERSHIP FROM THE LEGION The provineial president for Manitoba of the Cana- "dian Legion is to be commended on his appeal to the provincial convention of his organization to take the leadership in an anti-Communist crusade which would sweep all Canada. That there is a meed of such a crusade is apparesit, for scarcely a day passes without some reference being made in the press of Canada to incidents showing the propagandist and subversive activities of that class of people. ~ In a campaign against Communism, there is mo body more worthy to lead than the Canadian Le- gion. Above all other citizens of Canada, they have sacrificed themselves for their country and empire, and to uphold those traditions of British justice THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 13, 1929 and British institutions which the unists trying to tear down. The Legion can be a strong force in the fight to rid the country of of Communism, which is anti-British in its very ture, and which must be abnoxious to all people of British birth and heritage. The appeal of the Manitoba president should made a clarion call, first to all members of the dian Legion, to once again take up the banner of freedom for thelr country, and secondly, to all right. thinking citizens of Canada, to do what they can, in every way possible, to combat the menace which is threatening the very existence of the nation. NOT YET READY Hon. P. J, Veniot, postmaster-general 'of Can- ada, has announced that the aerial service oper- ating between Montreal and Toronto has mot been the financial success anticipated, and that unless it is given greater support, it will be discontinued. This would indicate that the postmaster-gen- eral, in establishing this service was a little ahead of the busness and commercial requirements of the two centres involved. Aerial mail service has proven a great boon where there are long: dis- tances with poor rail connections. Throughout, the west, and in' the long jump down to the mari. times, it would have decided advantages, The trip from Montreal to Toronto and vice versa, however, is on a different plane, for there is al- ready an admirable mail service between these places by rail, and the same need for aeroplane communication does not exist, The main thought, however, is that the people of this country are not yet ready for intensive aerial mail service. It is spectacular, of course, and speedy, but the traditional ways of doling business are hard to dispel, and there is need for greater development of air-mindedness in this country before full advantage will be taken of the possibilities of the aeroplane for commercial and mail purposes.

Barton, M.D, EAR NOISES One of the mean ailments that affect many folks is that roaring, tickling, ringing, or whirring sensa- tion in the ear, And the annoying thing about it s that it is often like some skin ail- ments, very hard to cure, While it may be due to some con- dition of the ear drum or other part of the hearing apparatus, it may also due to other conditions in the Ye Dr, Dana W. Drury, of Boston, tells us that where the noise is high pitched (singing, hissing or chirping), it is usually due to pressure on the little bone that rests upon the inner side of the drum and helps to carry the sound toward the brain; to too much blood in the ear; to something reventing the blood getting away rom the ear; to catarrh, A low pitched noise, (rushing, humming, shell like), is due to congestion of the blood in the little vessels in ear, which can be increased by hard ceru- menor wax in the outer ear, A rushing noise which becomes worse on lying down can be relieved by a purgative, Deep humming which grows less when ing down is due to anaemia. All things which tend to irritation of the nervous system usually in- crease the noise in the ear in an as- tonishing manner, The noises become more endurable when there is a healthy condition of the body, when the mind is at rest, or in persons who have a happy dis- position, and in pleasant clear weather, When the hearing remains good notwithstanding these noises, then the noise is entirely due to a tired or exhausted nervous condition and not to any trouble in the ear itself. What about treatment of these ear noises ? Dr Drury tells us that where the noises continue all the time, no let up whatever, and the noise always of the same kind and degree, that ihe treatment is not usually success- ul, Where the noises are not always so loud, and where they stop at times for a little while, treatment is some- times successful, Where the use of the air bak to open up the little tube running from throat to inner side or drum gives relief, prolonged treatment is usually successful, This information may save you time and money or may stimulate you to more persistent effort to obtain relief, That some lack in the amount of juice manufactured by the ductless glands causes this trouble in a num- ber of cases is generally admitted.

MEDITATION: I love my church because it is comprehensive and not exclusive. If it were exclusive it would be little, Being comprehensive it is most truly catholic, It recog- nizes gladly the wider fellowship. These people of other churches are more than my neighbors, they are my brethren in Christ, Underneath all superficial differences of opinion or practice our faith is one, our re- ligious cxperience one, When we take counsel together it is sweet, When we work together it is for a common end. So the walls of par- tition are crumbling and the prayer of our Lord is drawing to its answer. Let me therefore be charitable in the things wherein we differ, claiming this wider fellowship as a support to my own faith and an opportunity for cheerful cooperation with all who love my Lord in sincerity, PRAYER: O Lord my God who dost make all things mine, whether of Paul or Apollos or Cephas, open to me the mystery of that Christian experience and fellowship which is common to all who love the Lord.
