WEDNESDAY, MARCH 27, 1929 PROTECTION OF THE LAWNS -- At this time of the year, when conditions under- 'goot are so unpleasant, and when the ground is 'soft and pliable, there is an abuse which is always to be observed, and regarding which a warning is very timely. That is the practice which many people, old as well as young, have of walking over "lawns for the purpose of taking short cuts: With 'the frost coming out of the ground, and the lawns soft, the damage from this practice is enough to 'make even the most mild-tempered house-holder tear his hair. "There is no justification for this thoughtless destruction of other people's property just for the sake of saving a few seconds of time. In Osha- 'we, there are hundreds of open lawns in front of the houses, and many classes of people have 2 habdit of walking over them in going from house to house. It often takes weeks and months of labor to erase from well-kept lawns the footprints Jett by these people during the days of spring. "It would 'not be out of place for the teachers fn the schools and the parents in the homes to 'give the children a quiet talk on the unkindngss of the practice of walking on lawns for the sake, of taking a short cut, and a few words, given in, the right spirit and at the right time, would work 'wonders. Adults ought to have enough sense of their own accord to take this injunction in the spirit in which it is meant, that of preserving the beauties of Oshawa's lawns; and avoiding damage to the property of others, A COMMUNITY NEED There are some needs in any community which are 80 obvious that one almost feels like apolo- gising for calling attention to them. But The Times makes no apology for referring to a need which must be obvious to every citizen in Oshawa, and which should be given some thought and at- | 'tention without any loss of time; That is the need for a modern skating rink for its citizens. ' It'may seem strange to bring up this subject at iia time of the year when the skating season is .. over, and yet mow is the proper time to give it _ consideration if it is to be made possible before +! 'another year rolls around, The planning, financ- ing and construction of a skating rink cannot be accomplished overnight, and action must be taken at once, by some person or persons, if Oshawa is { to be saved the necessity of having its hockey . teams next season playing their home games at 'Whitby or Bowmanville, It is nothing short of Y a disgrace that such a condition should exist in | a community of the size and importance of Osha- wa. It is quite safe to assert that there is no other city in Ontario which is without its skating rink, for the accommodation of its hockey teams 'and the skating public, and, furthermore, many cities smaller than Oshawa have rinks with arti- ficlal ice. | It might be suggested to the Chamber of Com- merce that it might well take the leadership .in proposils for the erection of a rink worthy of Oshawa.! While an artificial rink would be the ideal provision, it is not exactly essential, and a natural rink of suitable proportions and seating capacity would satisfy the present needs very well. But it will not be 'ready for next winter unless steps are taken at once to have a start made, which seems to The Times to be full justification for bringing the matter again before the public HN at what may seem like an unseasonable time for the discussion of such toples. THE "I'M ALONE" INCIDENT A serious attempt is being made to create inter- national complications and arouse international feel- 'ings over the sinking of a Canadian-registered rum- running ship by United States coastguards. This ship, the "I'm Alone," was, according to the admis- sions of its captain, engaged in the {illicit traffic in liguor off the coast of the United States. Liquor traffic is a matter regarding which there are very wide international agreements between Great Bri- tain and the United States, and there is no doubt © but that the United States officers who chased and {sunk the vessel felt that they were acting well within their rights. The question of the rights of the rum-runners is a difterent matter, . One can hardly have much sym- + pathy for men who openly make their living, and a {© good one, too, by violating the laws of a friendly ination. This is particularly true when the breaking of these laws involves the breaking of a moral law as is the case with the liquor traffic. Of course, one cannot condone the reckless taking a il 6 Oshaws' Daily Times is & member of the Canas' BR if] by the United States, as some of them are doing. NO REASON FOR BUSINESS WORRY People not familiar with conditions which gov- prices crashing downwards on the exchanges tL terday. There is no need, however, for such worry, The slump in prices which caused the big head- lines in the newspapers had nothing whatever to do with business conditions. It was a purely tech~ nical stock exchange slump, cauged by conditions which have no relationship to the ordinary course of business and commerce, When the technical conditions which caused the drop are righted, the stock market will resume its normal levels, but: . in the meantime there is no need for anyone to worry over the state of the general business world, which goes on unperturbed by fluctations such as occurred in the stock market yesterday. EDITORIAL NOTES A smile from a boss who knows good work- manship is worth more than a medal from a com- mitte of impractical experts. These are the days when the average man begins "to wonder if the family bus will get through another season without falling apart. The fishing season is' to be lengthened by fifteen days. Perhaps to give the tellers of fish stories an opportunity to add a few more to their list. One "advantage which Miss Morrow has over the ayerage girl is that the newspapers are always sure to let her know what her flancee is doing. "An expert advises girls not to get married until they are twenty. Looking around the world today, , one can safely say that this advice is hardly needed. Toronto labor organizations have not much use for Communist interference, which is one reason why genuine labor organizations have won a large place in the life of Canada. A psychiatrist argues that four or five hours of sleep is enough for anybody. Some newspaper edi- tors would 'Be quite well satisfied if they could have any guarantee ht they could be sure of that'amount. A corporation known as the "Witmn-mmnd Lovett Company" is advertising in some of the financial pages. And the man who is unfortunate may after wards call it the "Losé and Hate It" Company. « Other Editors' 'Comment - (Fountain Inn Tribune) It's easy to make money as a farmer.

FOUL PLAY THEORY NOT ENTERTAINED Believe Disappearance of Two in London is Merely a Hoax (By Canadian Press) London, Ont.,, Mar, 27.--The theory of foul play has been prac Healy discarded by city police in the disappearance of Albert Reeves, 23, of 492 Woodman Ave. and Edith Ethel Sintzel, 19, wife of Herbert W. Sintzel, 8 Beverly Place, ' whose handkerchief and compact were found at midnight on Sunday on the Dundas street bridge, together with a bloodstain- ed razor and a handkerchief bear- ing the name of "Reeves." The river has not been dragged. Reeves' father reports that he re. ceived a telephone call from a sis- ter in Detroit saying that the miss. ing youth's body had been found mutilated in the Detroit River yes. terday afternoon. This - report, however, was proved to be false, Some officials believe the whole thing is a hoax. : That Body of Bours ves W. Barton, M.D. IS CANCER DUE 0 POISON. You read about millions of dol- lars that are ended every year in an endeavor to discover the cause of pacer and wonder why the prob- is so hard, Many years ago we were taught that cancer was s immature cells that had not devel by the time we were born, and then forty years afterwards something irritated these cells and they s to grow. As they were forty years behind in their growth the to hurry up to 'become as old or 'as well devel- oped, as the other cells in the body: hence the tremendous size of these growths, J y This was known 'as Cohnheim's theory, and there are many who still feel, that there is some foundation or it, Cancerous growths have been pro- duced in animals by means .of irri- tating substances, and as cancer al- ways grows o na surface of some kind it is thus always in the path of an irritation, , And so the new line of thought in investigating cancer is that some sub- stance, some poison, is developed in the' body itself which irritates or poisons certain surface portions and causes the cancer, And so we read that scientists in Berlin have shown it possible to change simple natural tissues into cancerous tissue by exposing the na- tural normal tissue to the action of arsenic, As you know arsenic is very pois- onous and if applied to the skin causes redness, inflammation, and ulceration. Now as cancer doesn't usually ap- pear until after forty, most cases coming between fifty and sixty, it would appear that the resistance of the body to something of a poison- ous nature becomes lessened and this poison so irritates the natural cells of the part that they begin to mul- tiply and 'the growth results, And whatever that poison is we know it is manufactured by the body itself, and does not come from with- out, It would seem then that the only way to try to prevent the formation of that foison would be to be over- hauled y your family doctor and dentist every year, so that any part, or parts that may be manufacturing poisons--teeth, tonsils, gall bladder, intestine, or other part--may be treated, removed, or drained. As these are the causes of many other ailments it may be that they have some part in supplying the poison that causes cancer. (Registered in accordance with the Copyright Act.)

Read: John 16:12 to 24). ; J MEDITATION: This day in our Lord's last week is a day of silence so far as the records inform us. The surmise that He spent the day in se- clusion with the disciples or in the home in Bethany is plausible. It would be in keeping with His serene, untroubled spirit. He had yet many things to say but it was not neces- sary to say everything. He was go- ing away but the Comforter was com- ing. The future would still have ac- cess to divine guidance; So I must still look for the unsaid things which past ages could not bear or under- stand. There is more truth to break forth, Nor will it all come to me or my time. I also may be untroubled and unafraid. Divine guidance will not fail the future as it has not failed the past. PRAYER: Almighty God who in Thy providence hast made all ages a preparation for the kingdom of thy Son; we beseech Thee to make ready our hearts for the brightness of Thy glory and the fulness of Thy blessing in Christ Jesus our Lord. en, ~--From Hunter's "Devotional Service." om --------------_-- PRINCIPLES vs. PATRONAGE Speaking of morally bad plays, we fear there are too many playgoers who are like the "high amnacd lady" recently pictured in Punch: High-minded Lady (as she and her escort exit fronj theatre)--"I think it's a perfectly loathsome play, that ought never to have been allowed.
