TUESDAY, JUNE 18, 1929 A WARNING MAY BE TIMELY In view of the splendid majorities by which the ratepayers of Oshawa carried the four bylaws on Saturday last, a word of warning may be timely and in order, There is just a possibility that many of oyr citizens may feel that the battle has been won by the passing of the bylaws, and that all they have to do now is to sit back and wait for immediate re- sults, Such an attitude, of course, would be very un- fortunate, Instead of the fight for Oshawa's pro- gress being over, it is just beginning. All that the bylaws did in that respect was to provide the ammuni- tion with which the various public bodies can carry on the campaign to increase the industries of Osh- awa, There will be a reduction in the rates for electric lighting and power, Assurance of this was given before the vote was taken, and the pledges made then will undoubtedly be carried out. But the citi- zens should not expect that the reduction will take effect with their next bill, It will take a little time fot the city council to pass and sign the necessary agreement with the Hydro-Electric Power Comimis- sion of Ontario, and for a local body to take over the operation of the electric and gas systems, Until then, therefore, the citizens will have to be patient, and find hope in the assurance that under municl- pal ownership, with power at cost, there will be rate reductions, The same is true with regard to the industrial site bylaw. The passing of this bylaw makes it possible for the city to acquire land to be leased or sold to prospective industrics, It does not mean, however, that the city will go out tomorrow, secure industries, and buy all the land necessary for them, To at. tract new industries and conduct successful negotia- tions with them takes time, so the citizens will have to be patient: in this regard also, Their greatest hope lies in the fact that the city now is in a posi- tion to make a definite proposal to industries seeking' Jocations, and is thus better able to compete for industries with the larger citics of Ontario, That progress will be made goes without saying, Saturday's vote was a guarantee of that, but a grad- ual and steady progress is more likely than a sud- den overnight boom. In fact, it will only be by more strenuous cfforts than ever that it will be possible to build up a greater Oshawa, and cVvery citizen should be willing to put his shoulder to the wheel, not ex- pecting too much, but working hard for everything that can possible be achieved. THE VALUE OF THE Y.M.C.A, Finding that the Y.M.C.A, at Stratford was get. ting into a precarious financial condition, a group of representative citizens has decided to take action to place it on a solid basis, This action is being taken on the ground that Stratford cannot afford to be without the Y.M.C.A, that its value to the boy life of the city is so great that its existence is es- sential to the welfare of the community, The same situation, to a large cxtent, prevails in Oshawa, Oshawa has a Y.M.CA, but the support accorded it in recent ycars has been such that it has been unable to function as it should in a city of this size. An as organization, the Y.M.C.A, has worked wonders in training and character-building activities for boys and young men, That is the function in which it becomes a great community asset, for a properly equipped and supported Y.M.C.A, acts as a centre for the recreational and social life of thou sands of young men who, without its wholesome in- fluences, might casily drift into less desirable places to spend their leisure time, The Y.M.CA. in Oshawa, for some years, has been handicapped because of its lack of an adequate building and proper cquipment, What was good enough for the town of 1910, when the Y.M.C.A. was built, is hopelessly out of date for the modern and growing city of 1929. The city has grown, the num- ber of boys and young men must be five times great- er than it was nineteen years ago, but its Y.M.CA, facilities have becn allowed to remain at a standstill. This is no fault of the directors. They have per' formed wonders in keeping the Y. MCA, in existence at all in this city, and have done so with very small support from those who might take a keen interest in their organization, Sooner or later the proposi- tion of a rejuvenation of the Y.M.C.A, and the pro- vision of proper quarters will have to be faced, and the sooner the better for the welfare of the boys and the young men of the city, eres THE GENERAL PASSES General Booth has passed away. The grand old man of the Salvation Army has not long survived his deposition from the position occupied before him by his father the founder of the great Christian ™ THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, JUNE 18, 1929 * Tell Me the Old, Old, Story organization which has become a power for good throughout almost the' whole world, There will be general regret because of the death of the old general, It will be tinged with a note of disappointment, too, that he was not permitted to die in harness, still at the head of his beloved Army, for which he laboured during his whole life, The law has decided, ofs course, 'that the high council of the Army was justified in deposing him, and there may have been excellent reasons for doing so from the standpoint of the organization, but it is rather tragic that. he should have had the strain of 'the' dispute and legal battle at a time when his health was precarious, Probably this hastened the end-- although perhaps it may have come just as soon had he been left to die in peace, But the general is now dead, and is to be hoped that the struggles which removed him from office only a short time before his death will be forgotten in the universal mourning for him, While he lacked something of the magnetism of his father, and suf- fered somewhat by comparison with the founder of the Army, who was one of the world's most extra- ordinary personalities, he gave the 'Army wise and aggressive leadership while his health permitted, It was fortunate that his long illness should have im- perilled the safety of his organization to the extent it did, That is always a difficulty in orgenizations which have one-man control. But it cannot take away from him the love and esteem with which his followers regarded him, even when they disagreed with him, ; FLYING THE ATLANTIC The success of the Yellow Bird and its four occu-' pants in crossing the Atlantic safely by air has rc- called the fact that trans-Atlantic. flight is not the novelty that it used to be, It is true that the cross- ing is still attended with great hazards, and that there is every likelihood that more lives will be lost in the attempt to fly across the 'ocean before this year is over, But it is, on the other hand, surprising to count the number of persons who have safely cross. ed the ocean by air, The general impression is that very few have done this, Most people, if asked to tell how many people had safely crossed the ocean by air, would find some difficulty in giving a correct answer, for, including the four who crossed last week, the trip has been made by 247 persons, This list, of course, includes those who made the double trip on the German dirigible, Graf Zeppelin, on the British dirigible, the R-34 on its crossing in 1919, and the ZR-3, now the Los Angeles, from Ger- many to the United States in 1924, Apart from these, however, there have been twelve aeroplanes which' have crossed the Atlantic, either in one non-stop flight, sufficient to lead one to believe that the ach- icvement is losing its novelty, and that, if develop- ment of aviation continues, and aeroplanes improve steadily in their stability and: carrying capacity, it may become so. common an accomplishment as to give little cause for wonderment, ; A TASK FOR MR. YOUNG Owen D. Young, the United States financier, has won much praise for his success in securing a settle- ment of the reparations problems which faced the recent conference in Paris, It is'true that this praise is deserveg, for the conference was about to break up, to record failure, when he stepped in and provided a formula which proved acceptable to all parties. This was a large task, for in accemplishing it he had to persuade the Allied countries to make drastic re- ductions in the amounts which they claimed were due them from. Germany. Yet he succeeded im doing so, and thus brought. about agreement, Secing he was so successful in persuading the Allies to reduce their war claims, it might be sug- gested that he undertake another task which is just as vital to the financial stability of the world, that of persuading his own country, the United States, to scale down his demands upon the Allied nations for the repayment of war debts. Being an ally, there is much greater reason for the United States to ease up on its demands against such countries as Great Britain, France, Italy and Belgium as there was ior these countries to forego their demands upon Ger many, There is a real task for Mr. Young, if he could be persuaded to accept it, And if he were as successful in this as he was in his Paris attempt, his name would go down in history as one of the world's greatest benefactors, EDITORIAL NOTES The session of Parliament ig over, and the mem- bers still have to struggle along their meagre $4,000 a year, -- The knighting of two Labor members of the Brit- ish parliament shows how truly democratic Britain is becoming.

General Draper has warned reckless drivers that their recklessness must stop. But it will take a great deal more than a warning to stop it. eee ------ Mr. Woodsworth declares that Canada should lead in disarmament, But wouldn't it be necessary for Canada to become armed before she could disarm? If the people of Oshawa generally remain as op- timistic as the ratepayers showed themselves to be on Saturday, nothing can keep the city from going ahead. With the hydro and gas and industrial area by- laws out of the way, the city council can now turn its attention to the subway, the new fire hall and the new city hall projects, The vote on the expenditure of $25,000 by East Whitby Township for the repair of roads and bridges shows that the rural people are almost unanimous in their desire for good travelling conditions. Other Editor's Comments PEDESTRIAN HAS DEFINITE RIGHTS (Calgary Herald) Further clarity has been cast on the subject of pedestrians' rights at strect intersections by a judgement given in the Montreal courts a few days ago. Mr, Justice Archer ruled that a pedestrian has the Jigwt of priority over motorist at such intersections with the qualification that the former must cross there only, or where traffic officers are on duty, ; * This judgment is in accord with a previous ontreal decision where damages of $5000 were awarded to the father of a boy struck by an auto- mobile at a strect crossing, It was proved that the boy had started to cross the street first and it was the duty of the motorist to give him precedence, THE CRAZE FOR YOUTH (Halifax Chronicle) The old world has not lost its reverence for age, It seems to be the misfortune of a young country to put more emphasis on, youth than age. The demands of pioneering life, the demands of modern factory life and the many demands of the rather fevered and highly artificial life of the present day put perhaps an al- together too great emphasis on youth, Time and again occasion arises where the sad story is all too patent of dis- crimination against age and replace- ment by youth, The modern factory system, with its ever newer machin- ery, tends to discard the aged and employ youth with much consequent hardship. It is sometimes forgotten that judgment comes with years and an active mind may be constant use be only a much more tempered and highly developed instrument when years have left youthfulness in the distance. - Bits of Humor - NO CHANGE Bob--See any change in me?

PRAYER--May we Lord. be able to keep our hearts with all diligence for in them are the is- sues of life. ! (Khaki Call) In the dying hours of the pres- ent session at Ottawa the estimates for the various departments were brought up, and amongst others, those of the Department of Pen- sions and National Health received a deal of attention, the latter be- ing held up pro tem. The old contentious matter re- garding the difficulty of deciding whether a returned man's fliness or disability is due to war service or was contracted afterwards ru- ceived a fairly reasonable dry cleaning. The interest shown by many members who spoke on this mat- ter seems to prove that all is not well in the "State of Denmark" and many cases were cited of men re- turning from the war, anxious ww get home and forget their experi. ences, etc., who paid no attention at the time to what seemed to them then only trivial disabilities, ana were consequently recorded as phy- sically fit, Later they developed various disabilities which it is ex- tremely difficult for them to prove attributable to their war service, which would entitle them to be classed as suffering disabilities contracted in the war and become pensionable. There are today, without doubt, many men suffering from war dis- abilities who are not pensioned-on account of the above disputable point and their cases are aggravat- ed greatly by the fact that there are men applying for pension whose disabilities are not the out- come of war service and more of- ten than not post war troubles. This position naturally makes the department officials somewnat cautious when diagnosing the vurle nus cases hefore them, Many men, especially those weil up in years, upon enlistment imag- ined themselves very much young- er than they really were and regis- tered their selected age according- ly. This was to get into the army. Upon discharge great numbers of men had to be dealt with in very little time, and it was obvious that if men complained of disabilities they would be held up for examin- ation, ete, and become entangled in red tape, all of which would ae~ lay thelr getting home; conse~ quently the short route to dfs. charge was taken and ptatemenie made which were, more often than not, hardly according to Hoyle. They gained their ends pro-tem, but have since suffered from their hallucinations. Many such cases are applying for pension at this late date, and it there is any doubt as to the or- igin of their disabilities, the man should undoubtedly be given the benefit, and a perusal of his ser- vice records would show what pe« riod he spent in the front line amongst mud, barbed wire and cor- ruption, ete. This information would justify the department in making an award, and there could be no mistake in pensioning a man it he had been through the mill and was fortunate enough to pull through, as no man, who, ever he may be, came through that hell in the condition in which he faced it. Men who saw service in Canada on- ly cannot expect the same treat. ment, The question of retroactivity of pension payments does not appear By James W. Barton, M.D. WHAT ACIDOSIS MEANS You are hearing or reading about acidosis these days, and perhaps you have the idea that acidosis means an acid condition of the blood. As a matter of fact the blood is always alkaline in health, and alkal- ine in sickness also, unless the patient is practically at the point of death. What is really meant by acidosis is that the alkaline "reserve" in the blood has been lowered, and the blood therefore more nearly approaches be- ing acid. The blood is alkaline due to or dinary baking soda in the fluid por tion and the salts of sodium and po- tassium in the red cells. And at times when the alkalinity gets lowered ammonia is formed from protein. Now when you exercise, or when the various cells of the body do their work, acids are formed, and it is these alkalis, mentioned above, that prevent these acids from injuring the tissues, It has been found that fat foods do not burn as readily as do car bohydrates, and if they are not com- pletely consumed then waste acids are formed which are poisonous to the system. . When folks get a bit run down, or are recovering from an illness, it is considered good treatment to give them considerable quantities of cod liver oil, butter, cream, and oth- er foods rich in fats. . However as it has been found that these fats often do not get used com- pletely, or are incompletely burned in the system, vegetables and sugars are given at the same time, for these supply a good fire in which the fats can be completely burned. Acidosis means that, as mentioned above, foods are not being used up, leaving too much work for the al- kaline salts in the blood to do, The idea then when acidosis pre- sents itself is to cut down on fatty foods, and take baking soda or other alkalies. When these alkaline salts get greatly reduced in amount, then you have that "sicky" feeling nausea, vomiting, and headaches are often present and no desire for food. Dor ing without food for a short time is good treatment. (Registered in accordance with th Copyright Act): . to be plain and has caused a deal of comment amongst returned men as some receive various amounts, others nothing. A deal of dissatis- faction would be eliminated if the commissioners, when considering a man's claim, would fnclude win his statement of award particulars as 10 why so retroactive payment is made, and, if allowed, why cer- tain dates and amounts are awara- ed, This suggestion would, we be- lieve, save the department a con- siderable amount of work, not for- getting themselves, and be more satisfactory to the man concernea. One gentleman in the House, of undoubted legal experience and ability, expressed his opinfon that the Act was all O.K, as it was, but the trouble seemed to be with the manner in which it was interpret- ed, No doubt there is a good deal In this argument, but it is dificuit to understand how it can be mis- interpreted if it is OK, as it stands. : e self same trouble occurre in South Africa last year, Sig erans' organizations interpreting their Act to mean that the benefit dates from the time the disability was incurred, not from the date of discharge, The ePnsions Board and veter- ans jointly agreed to decide the point by submitting it to the law advisers of the Crown. The ulL- swer came back in these words: "I beg to inform you that the law advisers remark a% follows: "The date from which the claim is established in Section 15 of the Act is not the same as the date of the production of the evidence which is the date indicated by the regulations. In our opinion it is plain that the benefit dates from the time when the disablement was incurred, the evidence being pro- duced afterwards, as indeed it al- ways must be." The above appears to be a good method of settling for once and all disputed points, and it may be ad- vantageous to follow South Afri- ca's lead. ------------------ PLANE FOR BRIDGE PARTIES Completely equipped for bridge parties, a plane is heing construct- ed in Europe.

LOYALISTS Launches Vigorous Attack on Mr. Sinclair's "Propaganda" Belleville, June 18.--=S8cathing denunciation of W. E, N. Sinclair, Liberal leader, was the highlight ot the speech delivered by Hon. G. Howard Ferguson at the United Empire Loyalist celebration at Deseronto yesterday afternoon. The premier launched a vigorous attack on Mr. Sinclair for the so- called 'propaganda' which the lat- ter is expounding on his northern Ontario itinerary dnd he openly ac- cused the Liberal leader of his failure to bring up any of the is- sues on the floor of the House with which he is dealing in north- ern Ontario. He called attention to the fact that the Toronto Daily Sar in pub- lishing aricles in respect to ine closing of country school-houses and pointed to the fact that they had even reproduced photos under the caption "Another school which Ferguson is closing." He charac- erized these articles as so much "trash." "Unfairness and vilification nev- er succeed when one begins to dis- tort facts, one cannot command confidence. One grows then, to be like the Star a paper with the large est circulation in Canada and the least influence," ridiculed the pre- mier. "Intelligent people wurv aware that each school house is a local concern and so long as citi- zens pay their taxes their schools cannot be closed," he said amid a burst of applause. Symbol of Unity Dealing with the early settlers, the premier said that the pilgrim- age 0; the United Empire Loyal- ists symbolized the unity of tne British Empire. He congratulated the town on the splendid appear. ance that it presented on this his- deeds of these party ploneess. '"They all desired personal and na- tional freedom and justice as it is ion A administered under the Union ack, "They left comfortable homes to enter an unknown land to hew for themselves a future home," pro- claimed the premier. "They came to a country where the flag flew as an emblem of freedom and lib- erty." Paying a sterling tribute to the loyalists, he sald they came from far eastern Nova Scotia, trekked through the forest in order to set- tle on the spot where sood his lis teners, / "They laid the foundation for this district, which is among the most fertile areas of the domine fon," he said. "The spirit incul- cated by those sturdy people is still manifest. Their influence is still felt from coast to coast, and Canu- dian 'are still guided by the exe ample set by these noble peopie. Ontario is still regarded as the fountain head of patriotism, and is it any wonder when we have such splendid ancestry." National Importance Turning back the pages of his tory, Mr. Ferguson characterized the celebration as an event of nae tional importance. "We have in Ontario a people who will undergo indescribable suf- ferings to uphold the honor and freedom that is symbolic in the Union Jack," he proudly asserted. "We are emphasizing the teaching of Canadian history in our schools, and we should use our utmost eu= deavors to perpetuate the empire," he urged. '"We must stress the idea of Canadian citizenship and stories of early events must be yee peated in order that the children gain their full significance," he said. "These thrilling romantic tales which grip their minds and give them a wrong impression of life must not be distributed and we are now publishing a series of bio~ graphies on the lives of great Can- adians which they can easily une derstand," he announced. The premier, in concluding, dealt briefly with the government's policy in regard to the north coun~ try and pointed out the fact that the legislature - had allocated a quarter of a million dollars for the torfs occasion to commemorate the preservation of the forest areas.
