MONDAY, MAY 13, 1929 A WELCOME ANNOUNCEMENT The announcement made on Saturday to the effect that the Skinner Company, Limited, an old-established Gananoque firm, has acquired a site in Oshawa for the construction of a substantial plant for the manu- facture of automobile bumpers, is one of the most welcome messages delivered to the people of this city for some time. It is perhaps most welcome be- cause it is a concrete proof that results aré coming from the good work which has been done by the Chamber of Commerce in its efforts to attract in- dustries to Oshawa. The Skinner Company, which in the near future will be listed as one of the industries of Oshawa, is no new concern. It has a long and honorable his- tory behind it. Founded in 1834, it has been well known in Oshawa for many years, for in the old days of the McLaughlin Carriage Works, it did business with that concern. Now, following the trend of in- dustries allied with transportation, it has gone into the manufacture of essential automobile parts, and at the peak period of production it has, in its Gan- anoque plant, employed 325 men. The men at the head of the company are confident that before next winter sets in they will have their local factory built and employing at least one hundred men. The coming of this new industry will be a goed thing for Oshawa. It 1s by the coming of such con- cerns, which have possibilities of future development, that the city will develop and grow industrially. It is a good thing for any town or city to have a mul- tiplicity of industries of diversified types, so that cmployment may be well distributed. The Skinner Company, Limited, will find a warn welcome in Oshawa. It is coming to a progressive industrial centre, to a busy city which has a place for busy industries, and the hope of all citizens is that in this community the new industry will grow and prosper as others have done since establishing themselves in Oshawa, x ok % ¥ Incidentally, the securing of this new industry for Ophawa, is a tribute to the effectiveness of a live Chamber of Commerce, and shows the wisdom of the policy of the Chamber in endeavoring to provide suitable sites for industrial purposes, Other indus- tries will doubtless follow when the plans of the Chamber for providing "incubator buildings" for in- dustrial purposes come to fruition. Ia this connection, it is interesting to note that the ~ plan adopted by the Chamber of Commerce has been officially noted by the United States trade commis- sioner at Toronto, who has transmitted a summary of the 'plan to his government at Washington, These official reports are regarded as valuable aids to United States business men in laying out their plans for ex- pansion and advancement, so that the splendid pub- licity given to Oshawa's proposed industrial area should be productive of good results, ' ok ok o% The coming of this new industry, too, is announced at an opportune time, It will help to convince the ratepayers of Oshawa of the value of having indus- trial sites available to offer to prospective industries for the city, and will foster a feeling of greater con- fiderice in the future of an industrial area such as the city council seeks to establish, and on which the ratepayers arc to be given an opportunity to vote in the near future. WHEREIN LIES THE HARM? Speaking at a meeting of the Kiwanis Club in Lon- don last week, the Hon. R. B. Bennett uttered a truism of much significance. Expressing his views on the playing of golf on Sunday, he laid down for himself a code of conduct which is well worthy of emulation. "There is no harm in Sunday golf of itself," said Mr. Bennett, "but through it parents may find difficulty in inducing children to go to Sunday school. The children may say, 'Why, look, there's Mr. Bénnétt. He plays golf on Sunday. If Sunday golf makes it more difficulty for fathers and mothers to raise their children in the way they should do, then there is harm in Sunday golf." There are not many people, unfortunately, who are willing to submit their own conduct to so strict a line 3 long as Mr. Bennett has indicated he does. For ey golf is not the only stumbling-block which can be placed in the way of the wisest devel- pment of children by unthinking adults, There are many things which adults insist that children shall not do, but which they do themselves, thereby set- ting an example which the young people will, in all probability follow. Sunday golfing, being permitted by law, is, of course, a matter of one's individual® taste, So' is drinking liquor. It is permitted by law, but the harm which it can do, not only to those who indulge L in it, but in the setting of a bad example to chil dren, is incalculable, After all, grown-ups have great responsibilities resting on their shoulders in the kind of example which they set' to those who are coming after them, and. if all people could guide themselves by a consideration of the effect of their actions on the youthfiil minds of those who look up to them, the 'world might be a much better place. NO POOR RELIEF FOR MOTORISTS The City Poor Relief Association at Kingston has intimated that in future it will not give poor relief in winter to those people who, during the summer months, drive around the country in automobiles. In other words, the man who drives an automobile in- the days when employment is good, and wages are coming in regularly, will not be given civic assistance when he is out of eth itil to provide the necessities 'of life for his family. There will be many people who will applaud the adoption of a policy of this kind. Every winter, when families have to be assisted, many people criticize because help is given to certain people who, only a month or two previously, were driving around in their cars, These criticisms were based on the theory that many people unable to afford cars had to provide the fund' to help those who could not afford cars cither, but had them just the same. The theory of the Kingston association, of course, is that those who are not willing, in days of pros- perity, to make provision for possible lean days to follow, are hot worthy of assistance. There is a good deal of merit in this idea, for it is hardly fair that people should use their surplus cash in luxuries when employed, and then expect others to keep them when employment is temporarily lacking. EDITORIAL NOTES. Individuals who have debts to pay must often re- gret that they are not nations, Talkies will never be a complete success until the race of sub-title reciters has died out. The motoring age may change the shape of men's ears, The present style was not made for hearing instructions from behind. The city hall at Toronto is threatened with seizure by a bailiff. Fortunately, it is not likely that anyone would ever threaten to seize the Oshawa city hall, Lindbergh says he has made up his mind to con- tinue flying after he is married. But after that event he will have someone else to make up his mind for him, The number of British juvenile immigrants coming to Canada this spring is three times what it was last year. Canada can accommodate a few thousands of these young lads, Plans are now being made for Empire Shopping Week in Canada. A week of this kind will have good results if it can convince Canadians of the value of buying British-made goods all thie year round. « Other Editors' Comment ~ LIVING DANGEROUSLY (Winnipeg Tribune) An old idea that wars were necessary to keep down the world's population is wrong. Saturday and Sun- day fatalities are now ample. SURRENDER (Vancouver. Sun) We may talk theortically about tariff for revenue only, or tariff for protection, but the concrete facts are, that United States is raising impassable barriers to our exports while we supinely watch the swamping of our markets without making any effective move to stop 1t. EMPIRE TRADE (Toronto Globe) Every sensible Canadian should support measures designed to divert our necessary outside purchases to those people who show a regard for us. The Motherland is doing much to encourage purchases from Canada: Canada could do much more to en- courage purchases from the Motherland. THE SOCIALIST MENACE (London Dally Mail) If they continue to fire into one another the two moderate parties may hand over the control of Great Britain to the Socialists for years. The con- sequences of such folly will be the more serious because, with our present system of oneé-chamber government, there is no check or restraint on reck- less. legislation. Almost any conceivable Socialist measure could be put into a money bill and forced through in one session. Is it right to expose the nation and the vast delicate organization of its industries to such shocks? THE YOUNGER GENERATION (Evelyn Waugh in the London Evening Standard) It is odd that of all the critics of youth who go on earning their weekly guineas by tapping out on their typewriters the old tale of cocktails late night¢, immodest speech and scanty cloth- ing not one, so far as I am aware, has pointed out the one fundamental failing of the whole of the younger generation -- that is their almost complete lack of any qualitative standards. They spend halt their lives learing which side of their bread is buttered when they cannot tell the differ- ence between butter and margarine, - - « Bits of Verse - - SPRING Nature, apparently unkind, Ignores a change in heart and mind From last year.

Barton, M.D. GETING THE DAILY OF OXYGEN SUPPLY I spoke recently about meeting a gentleman 88 years of age, whom I 1 had known for many years and who appeared to be getting. about any- where and everywhere he pleased. His mental and physical ability he attributed to his fondness for walking which, as I pointed out, enabled him to use his mental faculties as well as the physical, . Just the other Sunday I met an- other gentleman whom I never even classed as old, who happened to be walking in the same direction as myself, b As I caught up to him I remarked Are you working off your Sunday dinner or are you getting an appe- tite for it?" his quiet remark was "Neither. I'm simply out getting my daily supply of oxygen." I've always tried to get out a part of every day." What was the idea behind his desire to get a supply of oxygen? Isn't there oxygen indoors? - If there were no oxygen, or if the amount were low, wouldn't we live just the same? Yes, every home, every office, every factory has oxygen in the air, and the amount is usually sufficient to keep us alive because there are the doors, windows, and ventilating systems which permit a certain amount of fresh air, with its goodly proportion of oxygen, to enter. y then was it necessary for this chap to get outdoors for his supply of oxygen? Because the air of a room contains a smaller percentage of oxygen than the outdoor air, and with folks breathing and rebreathing this same air the percentage gets quite low. Now it is the oxygen in the air that enables all the body processes to work. As they work they need oxygen in which to burn, and if there isn't sufficient oxygen then they do not burn completely. This means not only less or poorer work done by the tissues, but mater- ial that could be of use is thrown out of the body as waste, sometimes stored in the body as fat. This chap was 74 years of age, looked ten or fifteen years younger, and as his work keeps him at his desk he gets outdoors .a part of every day to get the extra supply of oxygen to enable his processes to make a complete job. Walking is an excellent way to get this extra oxygen. Motoring is an- other way, and even sitting out doors for a part of the day should be help- ul.

Va., May 13,--Spring house-cleafiing has revealed a letter, purported to have been written by Abraham Lincoln, which apparently had been hidden for years between the leaves of an old book at the home of Dr. William C, McKinley of Warwood, a suburb. The letter, dated September 4, 1364, is addressed to Eliza P. Gurney, a Quaker, and deals with the opposi- tion of the Society of Friends to war. The McKinley family, of Quaker origin, is attempting to trace "Eliza FP. Gurney." The text of the letter follows: "Executive Mansion, "Washington, Sept. 4, 1804. "Eliza P.

CURE FOR TUBERCULOSIS Result of Research by Only Woman Member of Rockefeller Institute Washington, D.C, May 13--Dis- covery of a "fatty" acid which may have far-reaching effect in science's search "for a tuberculosis cure was reported to the National Academy of Sciences, The acid, "a chemical substance which is almost solid at certain tem- peratures, induces the growth of tu- bercles when injected into normal ani- mals, It may be the root of tuber- losis and a study of its formation in human cells and its activity may pro- vide in a new angle of attack against the disease. The finding is the result of research in the Rockefeller Institute by Dr. Florence R. Sabin, only woman mem- ber of the Academy, Dr. C. A, Doan, and C, F. Forkner. It was described as one of the most significant results of the cxtensive study of the disease undertaken by 'the National Tuber culosis Association, The work centers around the hope that a means of curing the disease may be found by studying the chem- istry of the bacillus which acts as a parasite of one of the cells of the y. One part of the study is to tear apart the component elements of the cell; another is to produce these frac- tions in large quantities; and the third is to show the cffect of each in influencing the growth of the tu- bercle bacillus, the chemical work in connection. with the co-operative study is being done by the Sterling Rg Yale University, by Prof, T.
