THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, MAY 22, 1929 HIGHWAY SAFETY CAMPAIGN WILL BE CONDUCTED Motor Traffic Twenty Per Cent. Heavier in 1928 Than in 1927 Toronto, May 22.---~Angounce- ment was made today by Hon. Geo. 8. Henry, Minister of Highways, and chairman of the Executive of the Highway Safety Committee, that the campaign in the interests of highway safety would be continue ed with renewed vigor at once. As a start, Mr. Henry stated that an open letter over his signatuie would appear in many of the news- papers tomorrow, warning motor- ists and others using the hi§hways to exercise unusual care and safety over this week-end. As Friday 1s a public holiday, the motor traffic during the week-end may be nearly doubled. It was pointed out that with increased trafic comes in- creased chances of accidents. Tho members of the Committee were of the opinion that immediately pre- ceding the first Spring holiday was the most effective time to start this year's campaign. According to Mr. Henry, every available means of reaching the public will be utilized by the Com- mittee--newspapers, radio, motion pictures and billboards. In addi- tion, an official of the Department >t Highways will shortly start trav. plling through the Provinge with the object of interesting the vari- sus communities jn the subject of highway safety. While motor trafic in Ontario was 20 per cent to 25 per cent heav- ler in 1928 than fn 1927, Highway Department officials point out that the fatal accident ratio was lower. They give a great part of the cred- it for this state of affairs to the sducational campaign of last®year. It is asserted by authorities that Ontario is far ahead of any other Province in Canada or any State of the Union, in educative move- ment looking toward accident pre- vention.

DALHOUSIE DOCTOR MAKES ARTIFICIAL Discovery Announced Halifax is Proclaimed Greatest in Decade REVIVES DEAD CAT Hours With Electrically Driven Organ cha. Halifax, N.8.,, May 21.--A dis- covery acclaimed by local medical men as the greatest scientific dis- covery in a decade became known here Friday when it was revealed that Dr. O. 8, Gibbs, Professor of Pharmacology at Dalhousie Uni- versity hag for the past six months been keeping animals alive for hours by means of a rubber "heart," electrically operated. Dr, Gibbs has been conducting these experiments for the past six months under cover of the strictest privacy, To date they have been conducted only on cats. Other scientists, assoclated with Dr. Gibbs in his experiments, declare it is the first time in his- tory science has maintained full action in the complete circulatory system over a period of hours by means. of an electric heart : The announcement of his ex- periments was made by Dr. Gibbs in a lecture to the Nova Scotia In- stitute of Science. The operation, taking about five minutes, consist- ed of removing the heart from a cat and attaching the eectric heart, 2 double action pump oper- ated automatically by electricity. The cat then revived and remained alive for hours. Dr. Gibbs, stated. "It ig like putting a new heart in a drowned man," sald a fellow member of the experimental staff at Dalhousie. To try the op- eration on human beings would, as vet be a trifle optimistic. Dr. Gibbs began his experiments in an effort to study the effect of drugs upon the circulation system, heart and the veins and arteries It hag been possible in the past to study the two separately but when considering the section apart from the heart it was found that the latter 'eventually wore out under the effects of poisons used and the experiment was concluded be- fore the final stages of the effect on @ veins and arteries be established. dil imi mess Nearly 900 competitors took part in the folk-dancing contest at the recent Musie Festival at Glasgow, Scotland. : Dr. J.

Reid, R.C,A., retiring principal of Ontario College of Art. to George After 17 years as principal he will devote the rest of his life to painting. He will be succeeded by J, E. Macdon- ald, A.RC.A,, who has been acting principal during Mr. Reid's leave of absente. The dinner was given by the council of the Ontario College oi Art on Mr. Reid's 69th birthday, and speakers extolled with rever- ence and admiration a great figure In the development of the finer things of Canadian life. Nearly fifty years ago Mr. Reid, a raw youth of seventeen came to Toronto from a log shanty farm near Wingham, Ont, and began to study painting. Artists and re- presentatives of education aud pub- lic life, in honoring Mr. Reid on hig birthday, compositely recalled his early struggles, It was at the early age of 11 that Mr. Reid made up his mind to be an artist. He was born in a log cabin on a farm in Wingham, and as soon ag he was old enough, he assisted in the general farm work. He was the third child in a family of nine and it was not until he was about 17 that he entered a local architect's office and after the arch- itect had failed in spite of the ad- vice of Creswell. to sea who paints ings he had travelled to Seaforth, he came to Toronto to study. He used to work in a machine shop during the day and studied art three nights a week, and at the close of his term graduated with the silver medal. After a couple of years of portrait painting at Wingham, he went to Philadelphia to study. He brought back pictures which he ex- hibited at the Ontario Society of Artists, and then after marrying a Philadelphia school mate in 1885, he went to Paris to study for three years. It was during this period that he came to a realization of his ability and some of his best work was accomplished while overseas. When he had studied in Toron- to, Philadelphia and Europe, he lo- cated in Toronto, painting and teaching, and ultimately giving leadershipp to the great movements for the Ontario College of Art, the al Gallery of Canada. His influence as a teacher was freely acknowl- edged and a dozen painters of high standing were named who owed much to his Saturday afternoon sketching classes of many years ago. During many summers in the Catskills he used with distinction an early training in architecture, one of his achievements being tne design for a cottage for Maude Ad- ams. . In later years he has opened a new field of development in traine ing art teachers for the public and high schools of the Province, and has stimulated the movement for mural decoration of public build- ings. Mr. Reid, after relating episodes and contacts of early life, closed with a word upon his own art creed. He confessed to his prefers ence for painting founded upon sound drawing. but admitted a mild liking for the "moderns," within reason. He preferred "art for life's sake" to "art for art's sake."

Brooks of 558 Upper James street, and with stealing cigarettes and other supplies from the dru store of George Hamilton at 20! John street south. These robberies occurred Friday night. For the baby who is able to walk but does not have enough confidence in himself to walk alone one mother discovered an exceptionally fine way of giving the baby confidence. She gave one end of a towel to the child and then held the other end of the towel in her hand, holding it very taut. She walked slowly around the room slackening the towel as she went until finally she dropped her end of it altogether and the baby was overjoyed to find that he could walk all by himself without the guid ing hand of mother, Chicago, Ills, May 22--A man partially identified as John Hand, alleged racketéer, with a long ree- ord, was found shot to death in an automobile in Cicero, a suburb, early yesterday.
