TUESDAY, MARCH 26, 1929 THE ANNUAL MEETING Tomorrow evening the annual meeting of the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce, the first since its inauguration, is to be held in the Genosha Hotel. This ig an event of some importance. The Cham- ber of Commerce, as a community-building organ- ization, needs the full and sympathetic support of every citizen who is interested in the welfare and development of his city. And the only way in which that support can be expressed is by attend- ance and interested participation in meetings such as that which is to be held tomorrow evening, Great interest should centre around the reports of the activities of the Chamber of Commerce during its first year of existence, There may be some who will be disappointed that more practical results have not been attained, but it should be remembered that for a year or two, at'any rate, an organization like the Chamber of Commerce has to devote its attention to layipg the foundation for its future activities. The reports will show to what extent this has been accomplished, and will give some idea of the spade work that has' been done. "The future still lies ahead, and a decided con- tribution to that future can be made by those who are 'sufficiently interested jn the work of the Chamber to be present at tomorrow night's meet- ing to add their support to the effects of its officers to do everything possible for the building of an even Greater Oshawa. A MUCH NEEDED CHANGE The announcement that a movement is on foot to have a new division court district created, with Oshawa as its headquarters, is of decided interest to:this community. - There seems to be every justi- fleation for it, because the facts put forward show that more cases for division court attention ore iginate in Oshawa than in Hast Whitby, West Whitby and the town of Whitby, which are in cluded with the city in the present district, put together. This being the case, there is no valid reason why the people of Oshawa who have occasion to do business in the division court should have to 280 to Whitby to see its officials, All of these are in the town of Whitby, although more than half of the business of the court comes from , Oshawa. It would be no hardship to anyone to have a new division court district established with headquarters and officials here, so that much time and annoyance to Oshawa people would be avoided, but it would be a decided benefit to this community, which has grown so tremendously since the present district was created that what was suitable then is ridiculous now. It is to be hoped that those who have inter. . ested themselves in this matter will find hearty support for their proposal, and that, when it is presented to the authorities in the proper form, _ it will receive the sympathetic and favorable con- sideration which it deserves. DRAGGING ON It has been monotonous to read the despatches ' from Ottawa telling of the proceedings of the House of Commons, Day after day, they announced that the budget is being continued, and then went on to say that the Senate would not be in session, As has been pointed out in these columns before, _ all of this debating of the budget is merely a waste of time. The budget debate is not a serious affair at all. It is simply a means of allowing certain' members of the house to indulge their liking for hearing their own voices, for on most days, a mere handful of members adorns the benches in the house, But these members must have their names and speeches recorded in Hansard, so that they can have something to send home to their supporters in their constituencies, and since members on both sides of the house are guilty, both parties are equally to blame when it is allowed to drag on almost interminably. If there were anything new to say about the bud- get, one could understand the lengthy debate. But everything worth saying was said in the first few days of the debate, when the leaders took part, and all that the other members are doing is to say the same things in a little different phraseology. And "at the end of it all, when the debate finally comes to a close, they will vote, not as they are really in- fluenced by what they may have heard, but as Grits and Tories and Farmer representatives and Pro- gressives. y i Meanwhile, there is a good deal of important busi- ness before the house, waiting to be dealt with. Lead- ers of the political parties ought to realize that the | bear twenty per cent. of the cost, and which have towns, will be left in the bill just as they are today. It may be a natural function of some municipal- {ties to protest against anything which the 'gov- - ernment, does that has a tendency to cost the municipalities money. That is probably why I there have been some protests against the muni , cipal contributions towards the old age pensions. It may be true that when the dominion parliament passed the old age pensions legislation, there was no thought in the. minds of any of its members that the provincial governments would make any effort to pass part of the burden directly to the municipalities. That is probably why this pro- vision has aroused so much resentment. And yet there is little reason for objection. The total amount of an old age pension is only $240 a year, so that the contribution of the municipality, at its maximum, would be only $48 a year. If there were no old age pension at all, it is more than likely that the municipality would have to spend a great deal more than that for the upkeep of those eligible for old age pensions, since it is required that their circumstances must be such as to need assistance before they can secure pensions. In some cases, it would cost municipalities almost as much as the total pension to maintain aged people, which means that the new law relieves \ 'them of 80 per cent. of the cost. From that standpoint, the municipalities have little real cause for objection. Probably the real reason why they are protesting is that the im- position of twenty per cent. was so unexpec.ed, and so different from what is being done in other provinces. EDITORIAL NOTES The luckiest man in Toronto these days is the fellow who can securé tickets for the professional hockey play-offs. Few men resemble the young fellows who wear ready made clothes in the advertisements and few have any ambition to do so. The fellows whom everyone thought were going to the dogs a generation ago, are now the strongest critics of the young people of today. Nobile would have suffered a great deal less criti- cism had he stayed with his stranded crew instead . of 'being the first man to be rescued. 'Many towns and cities are protesting against pay- ing a share of old age pensions, but they might as well save their time and energy, for Ferguson has the power to make them jump when he cracks the whip. There are still some forty members of parliament who wish to' speak in the.budget debate. The post office revenues would bé greatly benefited if they they will take back to their constituencies. «= Other Editors' Comment ~ WORLD UMPIRES (Calgary Herald) How unfortunate that the only people who know how to run the country should have turned out to be magazine writers. ; WHAT A RELIEF!

There has been considerable change in the ci- ties of fifty. years ago and in ci- ties of today. That point is well- known to all. But when we come to think of the change which will 'take place in the next fifty years, we halt, and wonder why we halt. It is next to impossible to arrive at 'a conclusion in one's own mind just 'what the cities of 1975 will ap- pear like. However, we might surmise that there will be a difference in avia- tion, in transportation across the surface of the country. Indeed, when we allow our minds to roam, we fully believe that the city of the future will be as much under- ground as it is above ground. There will probably be tall tapering build- ings housing thousands of people. There will be a net work of elec- trical railways, for we hardly be- lieve that electricity will be dis- pensed with. There may be fleets of airships winding in and out of the buildings past which the sun would have difficulty in going(?) There will be radio controlled con- trivances which will do their work for commerce. Man will be an in- significant thing somewhere with- in that which he hag built up. He will become a machine' and life will perhaps take on the aspect so well brought out in the recent German film "Metropolis." Man's ingenious brain, which is forever attempting to construct those things to save human labor, will in the end serve to make him lord of the earth. In that will be his destruction, for he will want to conquer the elements, a thing declared Tow as impossible. * 0% Proud wife (to nervous friend in automobile) --*I feel so safe with George driving, now that he has joined the Red Cross.

PRAYER--"Givé to the Lord of Lords renown; Thy King of Kings with glory crown." . Body of Bours By James W. Barton, M.D. MIND NEEDS TREATMENT AFTER ILLNESS to time that the condition of - the body has a great influence on ' the mind, just as the mind, on receiving depressing or joyous news, influences the body. When some ailment is affecting your body then all your resisting forces get busy on your behalf, Despite their best efforts you are so ill that you have to go to bed, and it is days, perhaps weeks, before you are on your food and possibly months before you feel your old self again, Now all this time the ailment has been in your blood and that blood is carrying poisons to all parts of the body. ' . And of course this means that it 1s carrying it to the brain also, As the brain cells are made up or renewed from this blood they To wise, because of this poison, are go- ing to be below par or normal. And this very fact has been brought to light in a very sad manner in a re- port made by Dr. A. H. Desloges, local director of the Burcau of Health of Montreal. He tells us that while the influenza epidemic in Montreal was not so serious insofar as the number of deaths was concerned, yet it was hav- ing some very unfortunate results. i One of the most serious of these, is concerned with patients who have been released from mental hospitals on "temporary discharge," and con- tracted influenza, with the result that their constitutions have become so 'undermined that, in large num- bers, it is being found neeccssary to send them back for confinement and treatment in mental hospitals. What is my point? That any ailments whether an acute condition like influenza, pneumonia, typhoid fever or a chronic infection from bad teeth, tonsils, gall bladder or intestine can so undermine the system including the brain and nerves that you are not really your- self, really "in your right mind," and therefore the brain, the nervous sys- tem, needs attention also. This attention usually means a change of some kind. If the illness has been severe, when possible you should go to a place where you don't even want to do any- thing; where the climate and sur- roundings make you drowsy in fact. If you are at middle age and younger and the ailment has not been too severe then a place where you can do a little walking or even play a little golf is indicated. The thought then is that the mind also needs treatment after illness, (Registered in accordance with the Copyright Act.)

(Read: Mark 12 : 28 to 44.) MEDITATION: Self love is as- sumed. my human relations. Of course I must love myself. To hate one's self would be the sign of a diseased mind. Do I love my neighbor equally? That is not inevitable I would find the satisfaction of being useful. I cannot do much for myself; selfishness always defeats itself.
