By mail (out TUESDAY, MARCH 19, 1929 TEER A NEW INDUSTRY The announcemtnt made yesterday that the Farrwell Development Company, Limited, has pur- chased the property at the corner of Olive Avenue and Albert Street, and proposes to establish there a tool and die-making plant and general machine shop is good news to the people of Oshawa, It is true that the mew industry is not an extensive one, that it will have but a small beginning. Yet all industries have possibilities for development, and quite often the largest of them grow from a small start. It is to be hoped that this will be true of the new concern, To start with a list of between 25 and 50 employees means something to Oshawa, and the company deserves every encouragement in its efforts to become firmly established here. The aim of building up an industry that in time may employ between 200 and 300 men is a laud- able one, and anything that can be done by the city council or the chamber of commerce to help along this development should not be overlooked. Oshawa welcomes the Farrwell Development Company, and The Times joins in expressing the hope that its career in Oshawa may be of the most successful. ' THERE'S A DIFFERENCE The attitude of Mayor Schwab of Buffalo can be commended to the aldermen of Peterboro and St. Catharines, who voted themselves a salary without consulting the people who elected them to office. This year's city council in Buffalo thinks so highly of the services of Mayor Schwab that it has suggested that his salary should be raised from $8,000 a year to $12,000. But Mayor Schwab will have none of it, His reason is that when he was elected, it was on the understanding that his salary would he $8,000, and he does not propose now to break faith with those who voted for him. What can the aldermen of St. Catharines and Peterboro say when they were elected on the un- derstanding that they were to have no salaries, and then turn around and vote themselves re- muneration which the people had no idea they would demand? THE RESCUE FLIGHT The people of Canada have for the last week Deen looking with admiration on the heroic effort of Captain Roy Maxwell of the Ontario Air Ser- vice, to reach a northern oulpost where a mis- sionary's life was in danger, to bring the sufferer back to civilization where he would be given proper treatment, There may have been longer flights than that of Captain Maxwell, and flights which called for greater endurance, but there have been few which have had the same epic quality of greatness. Faced by wintry blizzards, beaten temporarily by mis hap and misfortune, he showed dogged courage and determination which carried him through to success, enabled' him to take a medical man to the aid of the injured young missionary, and, finally, to bring the patient back to a hospital in North Bay. The story of Captain Maxwell's flight should be written in imperishable letters on the record of the Ontario Air Service. Day in and day out, in all kinds of weather, the men of this service are performing noteworthy deeds, but they have in Captain Maxwell a leader whose example must be a constant inspiration to them, Captain Max- well lost an opportunity for glory, perhaps, when the minister in charge of the service refused him leave of absence for an attempted trans-Atlantic flight which later took the lives of two of On- tario's intrepid fliers, but he has lived to attain far more lasting fame than if he had followed Tully and Medcalf to their grave in mid-Atlantic, STILL THE BEST SELLER - The celebration of the 25th anniversary of the founding of the British and Fereign Bible So- ciety on Sunday last brought forth a keynote which is interesting. The day was featured by the announcement that the Bible is still the world's most widely published book, In these days of plethora of light and frothy literature which seems to have a wide appeal, the fact that the Bible outstrips all other books in . the sumber of copies issued is a cause for satis- faction. It shows that people recognize that the _ Bible. is, at least, a book worth having. One must express doubt, however, as to the extent to which it is read and studied. It would be encouraging to know for a certainty that it was read with as much enjoyment as some of the so-called popular fiction, but one can be pardoned for doubting that it is. Its influence on human life and conduct, of course, is entirely fixed by the extent to which it is used as a daily guide, and if the wide extent of its publication were only equalled by its use in everyday life, the world would be a better place. : INTERNATIONAL ROAD RULES Few people have a real conception of the wide scope of the League of Nations, and many were doubtless surprised to read that a committee of the League was dealing with the problems of automobile traffic, and discussing such matters as uniform road signals and regulations for automo- biles and other transportation problems. Yet this is only one of the many parts of international affairs which come under the attention of the League, There is a great work to be done in the unifying of the regulations and rules of various countries for the governance of automobile traffic. The day has come now when automobile transporta- tion knows no international boundaries, and the lack of uniformity in the traffic laws of various countries cannot but be confusing to motorists who travel from one country to another. What is more important, these different sets of regula- tions are very often responsible for many acci- dents, since motorists may find their methods of driving quite safe in one country and dangerous under the regulations of another. It would be a great boon to motorists, and to the public generally, were this committee of the League of Nations able to draft a uniform code of trafiic regulations which could be adopted in every part of the world. EDITORIAL NOTES The floods on the rivers of Ontario have been a great deal more easily curbed than the floods of speculation on the stock exchanges, \ Perhaps the habit of the French-Canadian people of living to a ripe old age, is responsible for Quebec's antipathy to old age pensions. Professors of the University of Montreal are to be retired at the age of seventy, If they lived in Ontario they would be retiring just in time to quality for the old age pension. Lloyd George's campaign platform is meeting with so much abuse from the opposing political parties that one naturally concludes that it must "be a very effective one for catching votes. British scientists contend that artificial sun- light does no more good than a mustard plaster. But the advertisements for artificial sunlight are much more attractive than those for mustard. The last war certainly did not do much to re- duce the cost of keeping up armies and navies. The six great nations of the world this year are spending five billion dollars more on armaments in 1929 than they did in 1909. ~ Other Editors' Comment ~ SCANT TIME (Quebec Telegraph) Considering how many years it takes a man to acquire sense, life seems terribly short, ALWAYS SOAKED (Border Cities Star) Of course, the public must pay for larger navies. But that's nothing new. When Admiral Noah built the first cruiser it was the humble tax-payer who got soaked. STOCK GAMBLING (Winnipeg Tribune) Speculation in stocks may be all right for the person who can afford to take a loss. But the man or woman with a few hundred dollars should think twice before flinging it into the market maelstrom, . DANGEROUS WEAPONS (Saint John Telegraph-Journal) Tariff wars are dangerous weapons in fimes of peace. They breed discontent, and are more or less hostile to the friendliest relations, Such | possibilities are seldom foreseen by those who de- mand fiscal changes, and the responsibilities and difficulties of government are thereby increased. WOULD LIKE TO KNOW (Kingston Whig-Standard) We do not believe the public is particularly in- terested in how much Officer Brien owed, The fact that he was pretty heavily in debt would seem to indicate that he was not taking hush money, at any rate, What the public would really like to know is whether the charge that Brien makes regarding interference with him in the discharge of his duty is true. BUYING AND SELLING (Windsor Border Cities Star) It is well that the United States should appreci- ate the fact that Canada does not intend to be "stepped on" in a business way. This country has plenty of financial weapons and it will not hesitate to use them. Level-headed American opinion appreciates this now. Reasonable Amer- ican business men see that they cannot expect Canada to go on spending $700,000,000 a year in their country and at the same time bar Canada's goods from the American market, That kind of game can last only so long. dt a Clance We surmise it's about time to warn the youthful participants in the international sport of baseball that windows are breakable and glass has not gone down in price in the least. .

Then said the boy, "You selfish young elf, Why did you come for food to me?" "I came," said the robin, '"cause I could see That you were really not so selfish, As that other boy, young Tommy Gish, With all the cakes his mother makes, And also the ones the baker man bakes, And the ones that sometimes young Tommy steals, I often wonder just how he feels Inside his tummy when they are gone.

Barton, M.D. YOUR MARGIN OF SAFETY You are not feeling very well and discover that your heart is beating faster than usual, and the clinical thermometer shows a rise in tem- perature, Now this is not conforting in one sense any yet Nature's method of Sighting trouble is to. increase your heart beat and raise the tempera- ture. It is the fight Nature is put- ting up for you that causes the heat. There is an immediate increase in the number &f white corpuscles in thie blood to fight off the harmful organisms that have got into your ly. In fact your doctor: knows how severe the trouble is by the amount of increase in the number of white corpuscles in your blood. Now although Nature does this for you when you are not well, it is really only what she is doing for you all the time even when you are well, You have two eyes, two nostrils, two lungs, two kidneys. You have not two stomachs (for- tunately). Although you only have one heart and one liver they are both capable of doing many times the ordinary work required of them when an em- ergency arises. r. Harvey Kellogg, reminds us that the organs of internal secretion, such as the thyroid, can do fifteen times more work than they are do- ing. should it be necessary. he kidneys can do ten times as much work. The ordinary work of the skin causes a prespiration that you do not even notice because the skin may not appear to be even moist, and yet an ounce of sweat or prespiration is be- ing manufactured every hour, During hard work on a hot day of in a heated atmosphere the amount of prespiration may be increased thirty to forty times. Nature's care for us by giving us this "margin of sofety" is not to en- courage us to be extravagant or carc- this "margin of safety" is not to en- able us to overcome emergencies that may arise, The thought then is that you were given a body capable of doing extra work when necessity arises, You have only three things, and three only, to watch, to preserve the mar- gin of safety. These three things are food, rest, and exercise. Your meals five to six hours apart, with fruit and veget- ables every day and eggs if they agree with you. Meat if you work hard. Meat and eggs are the best builders of tissue when tissue has been used up by work or exercise. (Registered in accordance with the Copyright Act.) Daily Lenten Devotion Prepared by Rev Clarence.

(Read: Psalm 91.) MEDITATION; This thought is of frequent recurrence in the Psalms, In those stormy and perilious times the devout souls sought refuge in the un- scen Presence' So when my cup of bitterness is full, when every human resource is exhausted, I take flight to God. In the last emergency all flesh comes to Him. Is this making of God only a last resort? Perhaps it is. But from this extreme experi- ence I may learn to make God my first and my constant resort. "We do not trust Him as we should. So chafes weak nature's resless mood, To cast its peace away." This lovely Psalm has some lum- inous words -- "dwelling," "abiding." To be at home with God is to be in constant security and peace. PRAYER: O God who art my ref- uge and my strength, teach me the humility that belongs with my ig- norance and weakness, that I do not vainly seek to fight my battles alone or to bear my burdens in my own strength, Amen, FORESEES TROUBLE IN SOUTH AFRICA Cape Town, South Africa, Mar. 19.--Signed by the archbishop of Cape Town, an ex-chief justice of South Africa, twe former minis- ters of the crown, and a number of lawyers, clergymen and other prominent 'people, a wsanifesto has been issued appealing for support against the government's proposals for native representaion in parlia- ment, which, it {is contended, gravely menace the peace and or- der of South Africa and contain the seeds of serious trouble for the future.

I will not fully cover here the duty that parents owe their chil- dren in regard to the protection of the child's vision, but it is a hard thing to have a child point out in later years a negleet of his own «childhood. When I have seen cases of cross eyes where glasses absolutely cleared up the error and made the eyes work in harmony. Personal dislike of the one who gave the 'advice and workd the remedy caus- ed the parents to discard the glasses in spite of the correction manifested. Perhaps it was the irony of fate, but in spite of the petty differences nature asser.ed her will and when the child was old enough 'to. speak of its own troubles the correction had to be again sought and worn. It may be too late, these things should not be neglected, but we are only human after all, and I suppose weak because of it.
