Powers and Stone, Inc, New York and Chicago, MONDAY, APRIL 15, 1929 A WORTH WHILE TASK Many people in Oshawa who are horticulturists at feart, and who are anxious to see the work of home and city beautification going ahead in this city, are pleased to note that some interest is being created locally in plans for the organization of a horticul- tural society. A few days ago, it was suggested in the news columns of The Times that the Chamber of some action -'ong this line' and this was in every way a welconic announcement, The 'task of sponsoring the organization of a hor- ticultural society for Oshawa is one which is worthy of the best cffort of the Chamber of Commerce, This does not mean, of course, that the Chamber should become responsible for the society, or that. the society should simply be a subsidiary of the Chamber, Several citizens have voiced the opinion that if a meeting were called to discuss the organizing of a horticultural body, they would be pleased to attend, and to lend their aid in the work, The difficulty seems to be to find some person or persons to spon. sor the initial meeting. This is the part which the Chamber of Commerce might very well play. Civic beautification should come within the scope of its widespread activities, and there is no better way in which it can help in this work than by taking the action which has been suggested and acting as the sponsor for a meeting at which horticultural society organization. can be discussed. WITHOUT AN AIRPORT E. W. Duff, president of the Electrical Express Company of Dallas, Texas, and an enthusiastic avia- tion supporter, has been visiting Stratford. He visite ed that city at an opportune time, at a time when it was taking a vote to decide whether $15,000 should be spent on providing an airport. Mr. Duff knows something about the future possibilities of aviation, and, in an interview published in the Stratford Bea- con-Herald, he says:-- "Any city without an airport is going to find itself, in a very few years, in the same position as the thriving city or town that was forgotten when railway lines were run through the country. It is going to be off the main channels of travel. It will be unable to maintain its progress." These words were addressed in particular to the people of Stratford, and they were heeded, for they voted in favor of the $15000 by-law. But they can be addressed with equal force to the city of Oshawa 'as a warning to be heeded. Kingston, London, St. Thomas, Stratford, and many other points are either on the air map today, or are making definite plans to be placed there, while Oshawa remains unrespon- sive to the possibilities which exist in the establish- ment of an airport here. The powers that be in Oshawa; including both the city council and the Chamber of Commerce, need to take cognizance of the words of Mr. Duff, and to formulate some plas which will ensure that Oshawa will hot be placed in the position to which he assigns any city which has no airport. THE BAN REMOVED Last July, a ban was placed on advertising by uf- dertakers, through the efforts of the provincial or- ganization of that profession, A few days ago, it was removed by order of the Hon. Dr. Godfrey, min- ister of health for Ontario, who stated that the pro- hibition of this class of advertising had not been found workable, since it was impossible to enforce it. The only reason that it was found hard to enforce, of course, was that a great many of the undertakers objected very strongly to this restraint on their busi- nesses, and kept right on advertising, Dr. Godfrey has announced that the old regulation has been cancelled, and that a modified regulation will take its place for a trial of six months. It is safe to say that at the end of six months even the modi- fied form will be removed, since it is not likely to be . any more workable than the absolute ban on under- takers' advertising, In a highly competitive business such as that of the undertaker, advertising is the life of business, and is the only sure road to progress. Banning ad- vertising by men in that line of business meant that the small firm, or the young man starting in business, had no way of putting his claims before the public, surely a manifestly unfair method on the part of the old established firms, who desired the ban, of eliminating competition. » SPEAKING TO THE COUNTRY The budget of 1929 has passed into history. It was along drawn out affair, lasting for over five weeks, % intermittént réspites, and in all 114 members : advantage of the opportunity to make speeches. To So far as their effect on the budget vote was con- cerned, these 114 speeches were entirely wasted. But they were mot intended to have any effect on the budget vote, The members who delivered them awere not thinking of the House of Commons at all when they spoke, They were thinking of their con- stituents back home, the people who elected them, and wondering what kind of an impression their re- marks would make upon 'them. Speeches made in'the House of Commons on a subject like the budget, of course, and not delivered to the House at all. They are delivered to the whole of Canada, and, in particular, to the people of the riding which the members who speak represent, Away back in the isolated parts of Canada, and in towns and cities all over the Dominion, copies of Hansard, with the proper pages appropriately marked, have been pouring into the homes of the electors, letting them see that their respresentative at Ottawa is very such on the job, and that he is a good kind of man to send there again. So members of Parliament, in speaking on the budget and other big questions, are speaking to the country at large, and not only to their fellow-mem- bers, many of whom are too bored by the procéedings to pay much attention to what is being said. THE GAS TAX REBATE Premier Ferguson has consented to rebate to the municipalities of Ontario the taxes they pay on. all gasoline used in their trucks and commercial ve- hicles, This will apply to fire department trucks, street cleaning vehicles, such as flushers, and civic ambulances, which very rarely go outside the city limits on duty. This is perhaps the thin end of the wedge towards what the cities of Ontario have been demanding for a long time. There has been a widespread appeal that the urban municipalities, since they have to maintain the connecting links on the highway sys- tem to the same standard as provincial highways, should be allowed a share of the gasoline taxes to help meet the cost of this work. There is some jus- tice in this plea, but the government, so far, has not seen fit to accede to it. A further plea has been made that all vehicles owned by municipalities be exempt from payment of the gasoline tax. The concession made by the premier does not go as far as this, for it does not include municipally owned passenger cars, but it makes a start in the right direction, and may pave the way for further concessions along the lines which seem fair to those in charge of the govern- ment of towns and cities, EDITORIAL NOTES A mule can't kick while it is pulling, says the Kit- chener Record. The same is true of the human var- iety. Now that the status of Mrs, Gann has been settled at Washington, the United Sates can claim another diplomatic victory. The tourist influx from the south has started, and newspaper editors are getting ready their stock of automobile accident headings. Newspaper mien are greatly perturbed because Lindbergh will not keep them informed as to his movements. Surely the young fellow has the right to a little 'privacy. . Denton Massey says the youth of this generation is no worse than that of any of those of the past. That was what they said fifty years ago, and will keep on saying until the end of time. All lawyers unsympathetic to the government have been refused the right to defend prisoners in the courts of Soviet Russia, A law like that in Canada would certainly make a great limitation of the num- ber of criminal lawyers in this country, « Other Editors' Comment ~ THE FARMER'S LOT (Toronto Telegram) The agriculturist who bemoans the fact that he has to sell a couple of steers when he wants to buy farm machinery fails to realize that there are other forms of wealth' than dollar bills. His herd is his bank account, Whether the farmer has to work harder than the average city dweller is debatable. At least he has, as a rule, more to show for his labor than the average city dweller whose lot he is sometimes prone to envy. JUDGE MOTT'S WORK (Brockville Recorder and Times) Always an interesting publication, the annual re- port of the Toronto Juvenile Court for 1928, a copy of which has reached this: office, is of tlie greater interest to the people of this part of Ontario because of the knowledge that the a of that court, Haw- ley S. Mott, is a native of Leeds whose work since assuming charge of its direction has been uniformly successful. Judge Mott has striven throughout to better the lot of those juveniles who come before hiin and it must be a matter of gratification to him to know that recently, and in consequence of the policy which he has adopted, the number of serious cases has declined appreciably. Under Judge Mott's direc- tion, the Juvenile Court of Toronto has aimed at 're- constructing the habits and removing the conditions that tend to cause a child to become an offender and the highly satisfactory report which he has just pre- sented furnishes ample proof of the wisdom of this policy, Fully fifty per cent of the cases are con- cerned with disorderly conduct, breaches of by-laws, trespass and other comparatively trivial offences, a situation in marked contrast with the large number of serious cases which occupied the attention of Judge Mott and his associates some years ago. 1 .._e- - < Bits of Verse - - SPRING SONG Do you feel the breeze On your cheek, my dear, Do you hear the bird's note So soft and clear?

Barton, M.D. | THE CAUSE OF STOMACH ULCER You are hearing much these days about ulcer of stomach and ulcer of intestine. ; You will remember the main symp- ton; pain about two hours after a meal which persists until another meal is taken, . Some of your friends or acquain- tances tell you that they are suffer- ing from an ulcer and their pale and worn appearance naturally give you the impression that ulcer must be a very serious thing. : Now ulcer is serious enough but it is not as serious as cancer or tuber- culosis, and it can be healed in the majority of cases by co-operation be- tween the patient and his dictor, Dr. A. A. Diethelin emphasis {wo points in the medical treatment of ulcer, (1) The majority of quickly and break down quickly. (2) There is a close relationship between infection in other parts of the body and ulcer. A typical ulcer may form in a few (even three) weeks, and heal just as rapidly. Now although the ulcer heals tem- porarily, the infection that is caus- ing it continues to exist, and so the ulcer forms again, Your doctor will tell you of a num- ber of cases of ulcer that healed up and never formed again after the removal of infected teeth, tonsils, or gall bladder. Other ulcers are kept active be- cause of the nervous or emotional state of the patient. This nervous condition induces an extra supply of hydrochloric acid in the stomach juice, If the patient can be calmed the cure is more quickly affected. Even after the removal of any and every infection there are other fac- tors that help to cause ulcer or to prevent it healing. These are fatigue, chills, exposure, bulky indigestible food, infections of nose and throat, too much alcohol, tobacco, pepper, salt, and spices. Treatment consists of complete rest for two to four weeks, no solid food for some time, and foods that are easily digested and readily entér into the blood stream. Milk and eggs are especially valuable.

Wellbelove made a number of suggestions to the agricultural committee of the House of Commons, He recommended: Another grade be inserted some- where between number three and feed. The present grades are number four, number five, number six and feed. This would result in less of a spread between the grades. An earlier decision as to the stand- ards of commercial grades by the Standards Board cach autumn, To do this he suggested that samples from all parts of the country be sent to Winnipeg by express at as carly a date as possible. While the ultimate object of the wheat growers was the entire elimin- ation of mixing, the limitations on mixing suggested by the wheat pools would be considered a step in the right direction. Obligatory baking tests from the composite sathples cach ycar by the laboratory of the Board of Grain Commissioners, to reveal the true baking quality of the grades-and the information be sent to the millers, Only one proxy be allowed in or- dering cars for grain shipments. The out-turn standards should be set each year by the Grain Stand- ards Board instead of the statutory definition as at present whereby the grade must be equal to the average going out of public elevators, When questioned on what he termed "hidden profits from mixing," Mr. Wellbelove did not think the farmers were satisfied with mixing going on, even when they were mem- bers of the pool and profits might come back to them. The difficulty was that the pool did not have con- trol of the wheat, all the way through to the final market. E. M. THOMPSON A GREAT WRITER Lecture on Works Given by 'M. O. Hammond To Can. Literature Club Toronto, Ont., April 15. -- The life and works of E. W. Thompson, sol- dier, land surveyor journalist and fa- mous Canadian fiction writer, were the subject of an address which M. O. Hammond presented to members of the Canadian Literature club at McMaster university recently. "Thomson's name known as those of some other Cana- dian writers," Mr. Hammond said. "But I think it is safe to say that he] will be remembered when many more popular verse writers have been for- gotten." In the course of his address, Mr. Hammond informed his hearers that Thomson's birthplace, instead of be- ing in Peel County, as was popu- Jarly supposed, was in a farmhouse in what was then part of York county but is now West Toronto. "The house is still standing, and you can see it--an old spacious red brick place, at the corner of Dundas street and Pacific avenue," he said. The picture of Thomson which Mr. Hammond drew was that of a writer of sharp mentality and keen critical ability, but also of a wide understand- ing' of life. "He understood and loved the common everyday man," the speaker said. Born in 1849, Thomson crowded much experience in his life. First a soldier in the northern army dur- ing the American civil War; next a member of the Queen's Own Rifles in the suppression of the Fenians, af- terwards a land surveyor and last a writer, he brought to his literary tasks a broad knowledge that only a crowded career could achieve. The fruits of his diversified activities were seen particularly in his verse. "Poetry is generally supposed to be the outpouring of youth," Mr. Ham- mond said, "but Thomson was 060 years old when he published the vol- ume of poems that was known in the States as 'When Lincoln Died, and in Canada as 'The Many Man- sion House,' and the book won re- cognition in both countries." is not so well StoBIE-FORLONG &@ STOCKS BONDS GRAIN Office: Reford S.
