By mall' (out i i ie Cd al FRIDAY, MARCH 22, 1929 HORTICULTURE AND THE COMMUNITY + There are few sections of Canada which have: as great. natural possibilities for the production of beau- tiful flowers, trees and shrubs than the Central On- tario region of which Oshawa is a part. This is borne out, by the wonderful displays which are seen in the gardens of this district at the blooming season, and by the laurels which have been won for Oshawa by the products of the beautiful garden of R. S. McLaughlin, There are few more desirable civic projects than the encouragement of the production of these de- lights of nature. Beautiful, well-kept lawns, attrac- tive shade trees and shrubs, and riotously lovely flow- er beds do more than simply beautify the property of those who own and cultivate them. They do a great deal to add to the general appearance of the community, and make it a' place which becomes a delight to the eyes, not only of its own citizens, but to those 'who visit it. It goes without saying, then, that every encourage- ment should be given to any individuals or organiza- tions that are interested in the advancement of horti- culture. A city like Oshawa ought to have an active horticultural society to foster the desire for home and civic beautification, and to take a prominent part in practising it. A horticultural society can. make a worth-while contribution to the life of the community, and surely there are, in Oshawa, a sufficient number of interested citizens to take the initiative in this movement. It is necessary, of course, for the first steps to come from some interested parties, and The Times would strongly urge that some of those who ate really interested in beautifying their homes and their city should make an effort to come together to of- ganize a 'society which will be a credit to the com- munity. Such a movement would have the whole- hearted support of this newspaper, and of the com- munity at large. SEVERE PENALTIES FOR MOTORISTS. There are times when T. L. Church, Toronto Con- seryative member of the House of Commons, has an idea which is worth putting into effect. One such idea is his proposal of a bill providing for more severe penalties for reckless motorists, hit-and-run drivers who fail to stop at the scene of an accident, and for those who kill other persons by their recklessness. There is much to be said in favor of Mr. Church's measure, although it will be hard to have a measure put through, requiring, as he suggests, that those who kill others in an automobile accident shall be charge- abled' with murder under the criminal code. Under the present laws, persons who, by their wanton and reckless handling of an automobile, catise serious of fatal injury to others, are able to escape very lightly, and more severe penalties would serve to act as a deterrent to motorists who have a tendency to be- come reckless in their driving. Tlie penalties named in the proposed bill are much more severe than those which are at present in force, and range all the way from hanging on a charge of murder for hit-and-run motor killers to a penalty of five years imprisonment and a fine of one thousand dollars for those failing to return to the scene of an accident. Most of these offences, at the present time, are governed by the Highway Traffic Act, a provin- cial statute, but the proposal of Mr. Church that they be placed on a criminal code basis, with heavier pen- alties, will have much support. ADVERTISING THAT PAYS. The department of national revenue, of which the Hon. W. D. Euler is the minister, has, for the second successive year, decided that a campaign of news- paper advertising is a necessary adjunct to the effici- ent collection of the income tax. This method was first adopted a year ago, and so well did it pay the department that Mr. Euler promptly decided that it was worth repeating. The fact that the revenue from income tax inecreas- ed by several million dollars, in spite of a ten per cent reduction in income tax scales, in the last year, is largely attributed to the effectiveness of the news- paper advertising campaign' which was carried on. Mr, Euler himself admits in a public statement that advertising was one of the three great factors which brought about the increase in income tax revenue, the others being greater efficiency in making collec- tions and increased prosperity throughout the country. Recognition of the value of advertising from so high a source is convincing. It demonstrates that adver- tising that is timely and well-prepared pays rich dividends for the outlay it entails, and this is just as true of all lines of business activity as it is of governmental matters. Governments are hard to con- vince when it comes to matters 'of publicity, and the fact that the department of national revenue has been convinced after last year's experiment is a high tri- 'byte 'to the results to be obtained by newspaper ad- vértising. "SOMEBODY FORGOT" | {| "Somebody forgot." 3 In these two simple words a promineat railway official voiced his opinion as to the reason for the * raflway disaster near Parry Sound in which a least nineteen people, and perhaps more, lost their lves, and many others were injured. The engineer of train No. 8 lies in hospital seri- ously injured, and he alone can tell why it was 'that his train passed the siding where it was sup- posed to have stopped to await the passing of the train coming from the west, That simple incident, the passing of the place whete the trains were to cross, was not a matter of railway mechanism. It was the failure of the human element to comprehend what was required of jt that brought these two groat Masses of rushing steel together to deal death and destruction. "Somebody forgot." The words imply a duty neglected, a step taken which was not intended to have been taken. Who the responsible person was will probably be divulged 'at the investigation Which has been ordered, and which is 'starting immediately. But there will al- ways yemain in the minds of those who have suf fered loss and bereavement in the tragedy, these two words which meant so much to those who were trapped in the horror of the wrecked and burning colonist car-- "Somebody forgot." ANOTHER SATISFIED CITY The Brantford Expositor is in the same class as 'the Brockville Recorder and Times in that it edi- torializes on the satisfaction of the people of Brant ford with the success of the city council in keeping " the tax rate for 1929 at the same level as last year. The rate has nédither increased nor decreased, but so long as it remains at the same figure Brantford is well pleased. ! This {s just another reason why the people of Oshawa should be delighted to have their tax rate reduced dy two mills on the dollar, for an experi- ence of that kind is very rare among the cities of Ontario this year. EDITORIAL NOTES The chap who envies the other fellow's success would be farther ahead if he studied the success- ful man's methods. March is spoken of by one of the poets as "The earliest child of spring." And for this year's performance the child deserves a sound spanking. St. Catharines is planning a new $250,000 city hall.

The firemen at the local fire sta- tion are busy this week with a new type of occupation. They are remod- elling their "shop." And it might be added that they are making a great success of their job. Transtormation of a place such as the firemen have been accustomed to in the last five years, into a "thing of beauty" has taken barely a day or two, but the impossible has been accomplished and the firemen's room above the hall is now fit for a king, so to speak, It takes ingenuity and originality com- bined with a little Yelbow grease" as the saying goes to put across such a proposition as the firemen have been doing. But just because the firemen have made such a big success of mop- ping-up, that's no reason anyone should call in through the alarm system for assistance in the annual spring house-cleaning. A man had a tire stolen from his car while it sat in front of a local theatre. Crowds were pass- ing at the time, but no one dreamed that the man so openly removing a tire from a car on a rainy night would be doing any- thing but changing it. And the thiet got away with his brazen act. * Ww L The Westmount fire brigade is ready for work--has been in 1act for the last few weeks.

PRAYER--Speak Lord, for Thy sarvant hearath. That Body of Bours By James W. Barton, M.D. A MACHINE DOCTOR Just about the time that as a people we are priding ourselves on our common Ssens¢ management of health and ill health, we come across something that gives us a real shock. A British physician, who was for- merly a druggist or pharmacist, has invented a machine that puts the matter of diagnosing and treating your ailment entirely in your own hands; you are your own doctor. He has invented a machine resembling a typewriter but at present it has but twenty keys. Each key has a letter and cach letter represents a symp- tom. Each ordinary ailment of everyday life has three main symptoms. 1f therefore a customer could tell the pharmacist these three symptoms the machine would deliver the goods. Dr. Burnet, the inventor, gave a practical demonstration of thc ma- chine, which prescribed for several common ailments. The prescriptions were handed to the audience (phar- macists) and caused astonishment and amusement.' When you remember that a head- ache can have thirty or more causes, a pain in the back at least as many, a pain in abdomen may be duc to gall stones, kidney stones, appendi- citis, gas pressure, intestinal stop- page, and many other conditions, chest pain may be pleurisy, a heart attack, or a simple cold in the outer muscles of the chest, you can readily sce how unwise the use of such a machine would be. In fact the big- gest thing in medical practice today 1s the personal contact of the pa- tient and physician, The very presence of a tried and trusted physician in the home gives that confidence 'and feeling of se- curity that enables the patient to fight on when there is nothing left within him but the will to live. Now while you and I will not take this machine seriously, it does seem strange just the same that a phys- ician, in an endeavor perhaps to '| help save doctors' bills for sick folks, would advise such a dangerous proceeding. The valuable time lost while a patient is doctoring himself may cost life itself. (Registered in accordance with the ; 'opyright Act.)

MEDITATION: I will not con- fuse my mind just now with diffi- cult questions. Here is the fact upon which I rest with great com- fort, that Jesus knew God as none other has ever known him. All that I think I know of God irom other sources is supplemented and corrected and illuminated by what Jesus tells me and shows me. He who lived as it were in the bosom of the Father may be trusted; He knew. And his own deep and lum- inous experience He puts at my dis- posal. I too, through Him, may know the fatherly love that knocks at the door of my heart, that pre- sides, unseen, over my fife. PRAYER: O God, who hast giv- en me a sure and faithful guide through the wilderness of this world, give to me an obedient spir- it that without doubt I may accept His Words and without faltering I may follow where he leads. In His name. Amen. A REMINDER A K.C. strolling along a street one morning 'came to a fishmonger's shop. He was fascinated by the dead, ex- pressionlcss eyes of the fish on a slab in the window. "Good lor', that reminds me," he said, suddenly hurrying away, "I've got to address a special jury this af- ternoon."
