THURSDAY, MAY 2, 1929 MAKING PROGRESS ~ The building figures for Oshawa for the first four months of the year show that the city is making steady progress, and: is continuing the growth that was started a few years ago. The rate of growth, perhaps, is not so great as some people would like: to see it, simply' because the amount of building be- ing done is not up to what it was two years ago. The progress that is being made by Oshawa, how- ever, is sound and sane.' It is not in any sense what can be called a boom, and it is well that is not' so, as boom conditions are apt to leave unpleasant: slumps in their wake, The record for the first four months, however, is satisfactory, for building permits to a total of $156,000 have been taken out, and these do not include some large construction works: which: are known to be contemplated, When these are added, the total will be very substantially increased, and will, for another year, give Oshawa a place of leadership in building construction among the smaller cities of Ontario, Oshawa is growing and progressing along sane and sound lines because its people are realizing the value of stability in a community, There has for some years been a certain amount of floating population' in Oshawa, but there are strong hopes that this con- i ' dition is being overcome. The announcements that * plans are being consummated by General Motors of Canada, Limited, to provide all the year employment, instead of for eight months of the year only, will be a strong factor in bringing about the condition of i1 stability that is so much desired, and it will be fur- {i.ther accentuated by the building and making of an "ever-inéreasing number of homes in the city. Oshawang need Haye no fear of the future of their city. Every additional building, whether it be home or factory, means an addition to the wealth and prosperity of the city, means more employment, and more wages earned. And even if the total is not so great as it was two years ago, yet the fact that it has exceeded, $150,000 in the first four months--by no means the busiest months--of the year, is a source of much gratification. MISTAKEN SILENCE A week or two ago the community of Ekfrid town- ship, in Western Ontario, was stirred by reports of a mysterious disease which had caused several deaths. The people were panic-stricken, and the matter aroused considerable interest' all over. the province. Then suddenly the subject was dropped, and reports ceased to come from the affected area, until this week further reports filtered througl the conspiracy of of- ficial silence to the effect that some new cases of the disease had broken out, and that the people were again much perturbed. These reports brought a de- nial from the medical health authorities of the dis- trict, but this denial was not sufficient to quieten the. fears of the populace: These fears; it turns out, were largely duc to the decision of the medical authorities to maintain a policy of silénce. regarding the disease and its spread. Apparently they feared to let the people know the truth, always a dangerous policy where public mat- ters are concerned. Had the truth been told, and frank statements given out through the press from day to day, the disquietude would have been allayed, and the people of the district would have been saved the anxiety created by groundless rumors. It is a strange factor in human nature that where truth is denied rumor will flourish. In matters af- fecting the public, rumors arc always dangerous, yet' they arc created by a mistaken policy of silence on the part ot those who should shoulder the responsi- bility of giving accurate information to the public. This is true, nog only in the case of the mystery dis- case of Ekfrid, but in many other spheres of public affairs, and it carries with it a lesson which should not be lost on public men, 1 NEEDLESS SLAUGHTER 1 ~~ The newspaper pages in the carly part of this week provided a woeful tale of needless slaughter. In Canada and the United States, during the week "end, no less than eighty-nine persons lost their lives in automobile accidents. This is a terrible toll, and should make every person who drives an-automobile ' stop to consider what it means. It may be that motorists and others are so sated with editorial injunctions urging safety methods in driving that they ceasc to pay any attention to them. Yet one cannot help remarking that these cighty- nine people, when they started on their trips, had no thought that they were going for their last, long journey. They had no thought that they were to have their lives snuffed out ruthlessly, victims of a slaugh- ter of innocents on the highways. No motorist, as a matter of fact, ever thinks he is | going to be in an accident. Very few ever give con- sideration to the possibility that their names' might be the next to-appear in the lists of victims. If they did, there would be greater care on the highways, greater precautions against 'the "possibilities of 'accie dent. "The! asking of the. serious question, "Will I be next?" by all motorists before taking to the high- ways might prove effective in securing safer driving conditions for all: people. HIGH EMPLOYMENT LEVELS On April 1 of this year, the employment reeord . of Canada stood at a higher level than at that date in any previous year in the country's history, Taking the year 1926 as a basis of 100 in making 'compari~ sons, the index this year, on April 1, stood at 110.4 as compared with 102.3 in 1928 and 94.7 in 1927, These figures show the progress, in an employment sense, which has been made by Canada in the' last' two years. Since employment can only come from . the demands of industry of all kinds, they naturally lead to the conclusion that the industry of this coun- try has progressed on a parallel with the demands for workers, And the fact that so many more work- ers have been absorbed into channels of employment in the last two years is the best proof possible that the country is going ahead. ' A NIGGER I¥ THE FENCE The attitude which is. being taken by the automo- bile insurance companies of Ontario in- refusing to give to the investigating commission: certain' data which' is essential to an intelligent adjudication; of their case for higher rates, suggests that there is a nigger in the fence somewhere. If there is any justification at all for an increase in rates, one would imagine that: it-would be based on an. unusually high record of losses for' the last few years. The production of such a record, if such exists, would be prima facie evidence of an increase, yet the insurance companies are more than reluctant to pro- duce it. It is not too much to suggest that this refusal to produce' required data is a' sign of weakness in their case. At least, that is the light in which it will be regarded by all thinking people who have taken an interest in the matter.

Purvis, a provincial police officer who was accused of shoot-* ing at Peter Brennan, who was endeavoring to escape: capture." The judgment, however, is not to be taken as a justification of the officer's right to shoot. The use of firearms by police officers except in case of' defense, will not be condoned by the people of On-, tario, "The arrest and trial of Purvis will serve the purpose of a salutary warning in future cases. MENTAL AGONY (The Beaver) The chief clerk in the Victoria post office took poison when confronted with shortages in his ac- counts recently. He evidently must have been car- rying it around with him in readiness for just such an occurrence. The spectacle of a may carrying pois- ---- , on around for months, perhaps years, expecting any day he may have to use it, is a striking illustration' of the mental torment the wrong-doer must: suffer in this world.

Barton, M.D. LIVER DIET HELPING TO CURE PIMPLES As that distressing ailment, pimples, or acne as it is called, usu- ally comes to young folks, boys and girls, just as they are approaching manhood and womanhood, it causes much embarrassment. The very fact that it comes at this time when certain glands in the body are called on to begin work, or do extra work, is of itself an explana- tion of the cause of the trouble. For this reason some glandular products have been used witli some success but it must be admitted that they do not give the results one might expect. The trouble of course is that the foods handled by the system are not properly taken care of, and the oil material in the glands of the skin becomes thickened, gets infected, and a pimple results; In a certain pumber of cases the use of yeast has been of help in that it has helped the system to take care of the foods. The avoidance of certain foads has helped other cases. These foods are pork, lobsters, oysters, fresh or hot bread, oatmeal, and acid fruits; Some- one has remembered recently. that one of the glands, the main gland in fact that takes poisons out of the blood, is the liver. Dr, R. L. Sutton, Kausas City, Mo, reports on his experience with liver and liver extract in the treatment of pimples, and of boils also, The liver extract was used only in particularly obstinate cases. The most satisfactory results were secured in those cases where the pimples were slow in coming and go- ing, common in patients "whose skins were pale, moist, and flabby." The amount of extract given daily was cqual to a quarter of a pound of liver, taken twice daily for twelve days. This was followed by a rest period of .one or two weeks, and then if necessary another twelve days treat- ment was given, At no time did the taking of the liver or the extract give rise to any unusual symptoms. : This is certainly good news to all sufferers from pimples or boils, be- cause liver has been one of the foods thought to be a cause of skin irri- tations, However, you will remember that a writer some years ago referred to the liver as the "washwoman" of thc system as it took or washed out some of the harmful substances in the blood. 1 am passing Dr. Sutton's experi- ence long, with the hope that it may be of help to young folks suf- fering with this miserable ailment, (Registered_in Accordance with the Copyright Act.) 1800 WORKERS ON STRIKE IN TORONTO Painters and Decorators Settle, But Other Trades Obdurate Toronto, May 2--Partial settles ment 'of the painters' and decorat- ors' strike, allowing about 50 of the men to return to their work on the Royal York hotel this morning, was announced by Business Agent A. I. Robinson last night. A survey last night showed the number of the stri- kers to be undiminished with the ex- ception above noted, Almost 500 plumbers and steamfit- ters, 700 lathers and plasterers, 500 painters and decorators and 100 stonccutters declared themselves on strike yesterday morning. Building contractors estimate that work on new buildings will not be held up to any great extent, owing to the fact that the trades on strike are not nced- ed in the operations sof ar, Officials of the painters' union sta- ted that throughout the day, individ- ual contractors signed up agreements granting them their demands of 9 cents an hour and a 44-hour weck this year and $1 an hour and the m- auguration of the five-day week mn the trade next year. "The Master Painters' association refused to sign an agreement with us," stated A. E. Robinson, "so we had to deal with them singly. Work on the Royal York hotel will con- tinue this morning, a contract hav- ing been signed with the New York firm of Garnet Philips Company." The largest contractor on the hotel, Alexander Craig was stated to be on his way from Montreal last night.

Barnes was roasted to death on the Bloor street viaduct in the early hours of April 20 through the negligence of Charles Cairns, street car motorman, who "had ample time" to stop his vehicle before it struck Barnes' auto- mobile, the jury found last night at the resumed inquest into the fatal. ity before Chief Coroner Crawford. Evidence indicated that one of Barnes' automobile tires blew out, causing the car to swerve into alight standard. The street car in charge of Cairns crashed into the motor car from the rear. Both burst into flames which burned Barnes almost to a cin- der, and caused his death, in the opinion of the autopist. The jury's verdict said that Barnes well known local sportsman and man- ufacturer, 'came to his death by be- ing burned to death in a collision with his auto and a street car." "From the evidence we are unani- mously of the opinion," the jurors added, "that the street car ran into the rear of the auto while the auto was standing stationary on a portion of the car tracks, and the motorman, Charles Cairns, was operating the street car; and from the evidence had ample time to stop the street car and avoid the collision that caused the fire that brought about the death." .
