Ly mail (out- al THURSDAY, MARCH 21, 1929 A GREAT WARRIOR PASSES The host of 'tributes which have been paid to the memory of Marshal Ferdinand Foch in the last twenty-four hours, since the news of his death was flashed around the world, is sufficient testi- mony to the high place which he held in the esteem of all those countries which were allied with his beloved France in the great war. The great war produced many great military leaders. Most of them have now passed to their last reward, but in the death of Marshal Foch the outstanding genius of the war, the man who organized the allied forces for victory, and led them through the critical and decisive period of the war, the greatest of them all has departed. His was a genius that was inborn. It was a genius that had visions behind it, and the courage and will to put that vision into action, The allied nations of the war will ever remem- ber with gratitud "his master strokes of the dark days of 1918, when, in the time that was darkest of all for thé allied armies, he rallied them by the force of his personality, planned for the master-strokes that finally made the enemy give way and retreat to the very borders of his own country, and gave the victory to the allied arms. The name of Foch will long be remembered, and it will go down into history as that of a military leader who stood out above all the others in a war that produced many leaders of the highest rank. In the hearts of the British people, his memory will have an abiding place, and he will be mourn- ed throughout the whole empire just as deeply and sincerely as if he were one of its own leaders. THE NEED OF A HARBOR IN OSHAWA. A significant statement was made by D. B. Carlyle, vice-president of the Williams Piano Company, in announcing that his firm had branched out into the manufacture of motor-boats, Motor-boats, of course, require water for their operations, and Oshawa, with its lake front, can provide plenty of that. But they also require harbour. facilities before they can be launched and used to any great extent, and this is where Oshawa fails to measure up to requirements. Commenting on this fact, Mr, Carlyle said:-- "There is no reason why this business in Oshawa should not develop. I am certain we are beginning this spring what may be a large boat-building in- dustry, providing we can get the facilities, One thing that is absolutely necessary, however, if we are going to make any larger pleasure boats, is a harbor, Tt will even be necessary to go to the Whitby harbor for the proper launching of the Williams line of boats, which will take place on Saturday, April 6." Here is concrete proof of what the value of a pro- perly developed harbor would be to Oshawa, The Williams Company has before it splendid opportuni- ties for developing what might be a large boat- building business, but the chief handicap is the lack of those harbor facilities that are so essential, It is somewhat of a reflection on Oshawa that it should be necessary to take the new boats to Whitby to be launched, and this should give an added impetus to the efforts which are being made to secure the de- velopment of the natural harborage facilities which are to be found here. THE CITY MAN AND THE FARMER The Oshawa Rotary Club, by entertaining about one hundred representative farmers at a gather- ing held in Brooklin last night, made a great contribution to the development of closer and more friendly relationships between the eity people and thelr brothers whose calling keeps theni- in the rural districts, This factor was the | keynote of the proceedings, and it was strongly emphasized by all the speakers, One of the high lights of the speaking program . was the manser in which the Hon. J. 8. Martin, minister of agriculture, the chief speaker, and George McLaughlin, who moved the thanks of the : gathering to him, showed the close similarity of the problems of the city industrialists and com- mercial men and the agriculturists, In each case, it was shown, the chief problems were those of lowering production costs, and producing a high quality product at the lowest possible price, and then finding a market in which to dispose of that product. : ' In these essential factors the city men and the farmers can find a common ground of understand- ihg. And there is further ground for sympathetic relationships in the fact that each of these two communities is dependent on the other for its success. The cities provide markets for the prod- ucts of the farm, while the farms, to a large ex- a tent, provide markets for the products of the fac- tories. With this community of interest, there is the best possible reason why 'the two classes should be as one, why they should be interested in each other and sympathiic with each other, LJ] e . LJ Mr. Martin, in his address, gave the city men present at the gathering a small in- sight into the problems which beset the agri- culturists. They are difficult problems, for in the marketing of bis product, the farmer has to meet the competition of the whole world, and con- siderations of quality and price are the dominat- ing factors. It is true, as the minister pointed out, that the only hope of the Ontario farmer lies in improving the quality of his product, and then takiog such steps to market it as will ensure that the producer will secure as large a proportion as | possible of the price which the ultimate consumer pays for it, There has been much misunderstanding on the part of the city people of the true meaning of co- operative marketing movements fostered by the agricultural leaders. They have conceived the {dea that its sole aim is to compel the consumer to pay a higher price for the npecessities of life. True co-operation, however, does not mean that, It means that the marketing of foodstuffs will be conducted on a more economical and business-like basis, that much of the risk of the producer will be eliminated, and much of the wasteful duplica- tion of distribution systems avoided, In these ways, there will be less spread between the price which the consumer has to pay and the return which the farmer receives. In that way, both classes will be benefitted. The consumer will receive an article of higher quality, at a fair price, while the producer will receive a higher return, one which is more commensurate with the labor and the cost of production. In this direction lies the solution of one of the most pressing problems of the agricultural industry of today, and it was en- couraging to hear from the lips of the minister of agriculture that this problem was being given the serious attention of his department. LJ LJ Ld LJ Another significant and interesting remark made by Mr. Martin was with reference to the wider distribution of hydro-electric power in the rural districts of Ontario. The provincial gov- ernment, he said, was determined that the rural people should have a greater share of the benefits of hydro. In this attitude, too, the government is on solid ground, ¢ The hydro-electric powers of the province are the common property of all its people, and it is only right that those who, by thelr choice of * occupation, are forced to live in the rural dis- tricts, and make their contribution to the wealth of Ontario there, should have an opportunity of sharing in the good things which can be provided through the development and distribution of that power which has built up industrial Ontario, and which will yet do much to create a more progress- ive and prosperous agriculture throughout the province, EDITORIAL NOTES Major Segrave's Golden Arrow automobile cost about $170,000, so it would be a good car on which to trade in that 1925 model. St. Thomas is claiming the right to be known as the "City of gas stations". Whch proves that the man who thought of this name never visited Oshawa. Most of the new automobiles this year are be- ing called "striking" models. Does this mean that the pedestrians will have to move more quickly than ever to avoid being struck? One of the reasons why organisations often fail is that there are too many people in them who expect to get more out of a bucket than they put into it. Captain Maxwell's flight to the aid of a north- ern Ontario missionary who sustained serious in- jurjes, is just another instance of how the aero- plane is coming to be known as a messenger of merey. .

One of the natural mistakes that is made sometimes is in attempting to treat a result instead of a cause. Perhaps you have an attack of sci- atica, that is pain down the sciatic nerve, which runs down from the lower back to hip, down the leg with branches extending to toes. You have had a sore throat, the tonsils somewhat inflamed, and you decide that you had better have the tonsils removed. Now while the tonsils are very often to blame, it is quite possible that one or more of your teeth are infected the removal of the tonsils will not cure your sciatica, The teeth should be treated or removed first, and if tonsils are infected months afterwards, then it is time enough. to remove the tonsils. , Another mistake sometimes made is where the pain cases somewhat in back and hip but persists in thigh and leg. . . The natural thing to do of course is to apply your heat or electricity to skin over the part that is paining. 'What would really be of more help would be to apply heat, electricity, and injections into the nerve, at a point nearer the root of the nerve where it comes out from the spinal column, Dr, N. Gierlich, Berlin, reminds us that to make sure that the sciatica comes from near the root of the spinal column, pressure at a point about one inch to the side of the bony lump of the last bone in the spinal column, will give severe pain. Now pain in the sciatica nerve is always due to injury whether that injury is from a. jolt, a fall, a blow of some kind, or to infection, If you have pain a!l the time whe- ther on or off your leg, it is likely infection. If you can get yourself into a po- sition on a chair or in bed where the pain disappears it is likely due to injury. Roughly, infection is responsible for 75 per cent of sciatica, and injury from a fall, jolt, or lift, 25 per cent, But in any case get busy and find the cause. Sciatica is only the result. Don't suffer with sciatica. The pain is very severe, and will soon take a lot out of you. (Registered in accordance with the Copyright Act.) AGGRIEVED TENANT DENIED REPRISALS Cape Town, Mar. 20.--' We, re- fuse to be bled," read a placard in the window of a shop here which formed the basis for a unique leg- al action. The tenant objected to 'an increase in the rent and took the public into his confidence, but the landlord claimed an injunction on the ground that the placard was li- bellous. In granting the injunction the judge said it was no concern of the public that the tenant "refused to be bled" and the only object on the notice must have been to injure the landlord. The tenant, he hell, could have made known the reas- on he was leaving the premises without the use of the offensive words.
