MONDAY, MARCH 25, 1929 ESTABLISHING AIRPORTS A few weeks ago thé city of Kingston decided definitely to establish an airport there, and ten- ders are now being called for the erection of a hangar on the flying fleld. Last week, the city council of Stratford decided to put a bylaw before the electors of that community asking for per- mission to spend $15,000 on the establishment there of similar accommodation for aeroplanes. 4 This action entitles these two communities to be placed in the front rank of Ontario's progres. sive municipalities. Yet, neither of them has shown the splendid progress which has been made by Oshawa since the end of the war, and neither of them can lay claim to any greater advantages {han this city possesses for the making Of pro- vision for aviation. It is becoming more and more apparent that many of the cities of Ontarip are becoming' suf- ficiently air-conscious to realize the possibilities of this new mode of transportation, It is devel- ! pping to such an extent that if the next few years show progress equal to that of the ten years since the war, Ontario will be covered by a network of air routes, and the «places which have made pro- vision for accommodating aeroplanes, will be the prominent points on these routes, It is time that Oshawa had some active move- ment on foot to provide am airport, for these . things take time to develop, and unless this eity is to be far out-distanced by other communities which have not the same possibilities as Oshawa has, action should be taken soon. UNSELFISH SERVICE A splendid example of the unselfish service which is being given by the British Legion of the British Empire Service League is contained in san address delivered by Admiral Jellicoe at a conference of the Legion held at Exeter, England. Lord Jellicoe, the grand president of the League, declared that if ever there was an advrtisement' for the unselfishness and high ideals of the Bri- tish Legion, it was that 94 per cent. of those who received relief through its organizations were non< members. What is true of the British Legion has been found equally true of its brother organization, the Canadian Legion, Those who have been closely associated with its affairs, and particularly with its relief and welfare work, have found that in the vast majority of cases, the ex-service men who sought its aid were not members of the Legion, but, by their standing as veterans of the war, théy were entitled to receive just as much assistance as it they were in full membership. There are few organizations of the nature of the Canadian Legion which would go to such. trouble for those outside its ranks, Yet the ser-. vice of the Legion today is based on- the same, Ideals as the service of its members in time of war, the ideals of unselfish and sacrifical service . lor. their country and their fellow-Canadians. So tong as these ideals prevail, and there is no indis sation that they are waning in strength, the Legion will continue to merit the confidence and the support of the people of Canada. THE HANDWRITING ON THE WALL ; Can the results of the by-elections held in Great {| Britain during the last week be taken as an ine © dication of the handwriting on the' wall for the . British government. Out of four constituencies, . + three resulted in defeats for the Conservative candidates, these being in ridings which were pre- viously held by government supporters. In two oof these contests, the Liberal nominees were sucs +.¢ cssful at the polls, while in the other the Labor . i candidate won the day. aig These results, coupled with the consistent record "' ot government defeats in by-elections held during the past year, indicate that the government is due Ui for a rough session when the general election is "| held. © Jy, has failed to satisfy a large section. ot the | population of Great Britain, and they are turning | to the other parties in' the hope that they may «| find in' them possibilities of relief from conditions "| which are probably beyond the power of any gov- . ernment fo remove except by long and arduous steps. 1 : 'The Baldwin government, too, has failed to cap- 'ture the public imagination.

Qustrial and financial life, the present govern ment, with {ts éfforts to stabilize conditions, must naturally make a strong appeal. But it lacks that 'emotional fire which appeals to the great masses of electors and whick, in most cases, wins elec- tions, 48 It is impossible, of course, to predict what is likely to happen when the gemeral election does take place. That great uncertain factor, known 3 vote", which is being registered for the first time, will make a tremendous differ- ence to the result, but everything that has hap- pened in the last few months goes to indicate that the government is fighting for its life, with every possibility that it is fighting a losing battle. IS A CRISIS COMING? Sir George Paish was in a gloomy mood the other, day when he addressed the national conference on free trade in Manchester, England. Sir George ir a noted economist, and free trade is his pet theory, but' on the day in question' he must have been in a particularly unhappy mood, for he made a serious prediction t the world was approaching a seri ous finanejal crisis, the gravest in all its history. It seems rather strange that mo one else should have noticed signs of its coming, for outstanding financiers and business analysts have made predic- tions along exactly opposite -lines; But then, Sir George Paish may have had a reason for talking This is made evident by the manner in which he coupled his prediction with a condemna- tion of the political policies now in effect in Great: Britain. He sald: -- "The present policy of safeguarding and pro- tection means the suicide of the world." This, then, is the thing that was worrying him. He wanted to convince his hearers that the govern- ment in Britain was oh the wrong track, and that his beloved theory of free trade was the only means by which' the world could be saved from financial sui- cide. It:seems as if statements something like that have been heard before, usually from political plat- forms, and' made by men who are willing to go to any lengths in rhetoric to blacken their opponents in the eyes of the audience. : Now that. Sir George has had his say, he will probably feel a whole lot better, and the chances are that the world will go on just as smoothly, in a financial way, as it was doing before his prophecy was made. .

Apart from the ap- parent fact that Adamo killed e young lad, which the jury unanimous- ly agreéd--it had to agree--it also hinted at the fact that the people of the country will not put up with hit- and-run motorists, Although very little comment was made by Mr. Jus- tice Rosc-on this section of the case, it was evident that hit-and-run mo- torists are the curse of the road, and the law will never cease its strenuous efforts to rid the country of them. They are law-breakers of the "first water." They try to elude justice through the cowardly practise of speeding away following an accident, serious or otherwise in the hope of being secure in their hidings, Evi- dence at the trial showed that Adamo killed the 13-year-old: newsboy of Harmony, so the jury decided. Would there have been a chance of saving Young Etcher's life if Adamo had stopped and rushed the boy to a hos- pital, or to a near-by home? We onder, and yet the court's finding might have been different, the atti- tude of twelve good men and true might have been changed. There might have been a little more leni- ency in Mr. Justice Rose's judgment had he known Adamo did what he could to help bring that young un- fortunate lad back to life, although it is apparent that Adamo received a small enough sentence as it was. The law cannot be too strict when it comes to dealing with hit-and-run motorists., They are the curse of the 10ad, the draw-back to motoring and the greatest danger to pedestrians, * Poor Leon Trotsky!

Barton, M.D. CURING GOITRE WITHOUT OPERATION You see many cases of goitre or enlargement of the thyroid gland of the neck, and wonder why some of these folks 'look nortnal, and others have a sort of bulging of the eyes and appear to be very nervous, with tremor of the hands, rapid pulse, and loss of weight and strength. It is this latter ype of case that is known as Grave's disease, and it is these cases that are serious and often re- quire operation. Although the operation for the re- moval of a part of the thyroid gland is now comparatively safe, there are quite a number of these patients who naturally dislike the idea of an op- eration. \ It is therefore gratifying to learn of the success of the X-ray treat- ment in these cases. Dr. M. R. J. Hayes presents a re- port of 100 unselected consecutive cases from private records Practically all the cases were of long duration before they had the X-ray treatment, Of the 100 cases, 62 may be con- sidered cured, 14 improved, 17 aban- doned treatment, 7 unknown. The cured cases are those in which the pulserate has come down to nor- mal, the tremors have disappeared, weight increased, and the patients able to go back to their regular work again. Treatments are given every second day for a month, then there is a rest interval of three weeks and a second series of treatments are given. If this is not sufficient, after another rest interval a third series is given. Now the objection to this method of treatment of course is the number of times the patient has to renort for treatment, which accounts for the number in above series who aban- doned the treatment. On the other hand, although oper- ation is comparatively safe, the X- ray treatment is absolutely safe from a life and death standpoint. The careful application of lard every night during, and for months after the treatment, prevents any skin irri- tation, I have mentioned this form of treatment more than once before be- cause so many patients who fear an operation do not undergo any treat- ment whatever, and naturally their condition grows so bad that an oper- ation is finally necessary and finds them in poor shape to withstand it.

(Read: 11:12 to 20. MEDITATION: Jesus has a great deal to say about our bearing fruit. He expected results, The story of the barren fig tree illustrates the stern demand. So I ask myself if I am a profitable servant. But how shall I tell? The product of a useful life is slow in appearing and very shy of showing itself at all. I observe, too, that people intent upon doing good to others often make themselves objectionable and defeat their own ends. I will not torment my soul over this thing. Of course I must be faithful and diligent; but I need not be obtrusive or impatient. Straining effort is likely to be futile. When the seed 18 planted the rest is left to na- ture; the fecund earth will not fail me. A good life, filled with unselfish service will not be in vain. Results may safely be left with God. PRAYER: O God of the seed time and of the harvest, who alone dost give the increase, I give myself to Thee, and pray that Thou wilt use me in Thy wide ficld to bring {8rth fruit unto life eternal. Amen. FINE DISPLAY OF FRENCH PAINTINGS Pieter Van Veen Has Spe- cial'zed in Painting Cathedrals Toronto, Mar. 25--Eight years of painting outdoors under the sunny skies of France have given Pieter Van Veen one of the most valuable and beautiful collections of Gothic cathedrals, The artist has accompan- ied his exhibit to Toronto, having come from Buffalo where his pictures were shown at the Fine Arts Aca- demy. Previously they were shown in Washington, D.C. The cathedral of Chartres was Van Veen's first inspiration to paint his cathedral gallery of 26 vanvascs. He conceived the idea of preserving the beauty of the Gothic from the earliest and' simplest structures of the 12th century to the latest and most flambuoyant of the 15th. The 'great cathedrals of' Rheims, Amiens, Chartres, Rouen and Bourges are painted from different aspects, and are shown both in the pale beauty of morning sunshine and in the glory of sunset coloring. La Tour de Beurre Rouen, the but- ter tower, recalls the historic incident of the 15th century when the peo- ple asked the clergy if they might eat butter during Lent, to receive the reply that they might if they contributed the same amount to the cathedral which they expended on What Money Can Do for You SAVINGS ACCOUNT gives you a comfortable feeling of security.

Mr. Van Veen is one of a long line of illustrious painters, among them that famous and prolific master of Rubens in the 16th century, Octavio Van Veen, known historically 'as Otho Vaenius, 1558-1629. He was born at Holland but went at an early age to France where he spent 35 years before coming to America. Van Veen's collection is insured for $200,000.
