MONDAY, JULY 8, 1929 THE ATTRACTIONS OF THE SMALL . CITY An independent | 1 " 'One of the surprising things learned in connection with the Old Home Week. celebration in Petérboro was. the extent of the roll of old Peterboro boys and girls who have drifted away from that city to live ih 'the metropolitan centres. As has been remarked before, had they remained in Petérboro, what a. won- derful city that would have been. "The samé may have been said of many other On- tatio. communities. There are scores of small cities and, towns which: have become nothing more or less thin féeders for the big cities, and have gone there to contribute their welfare. In 'fact, Toronto, in spite of all its self-centred vain-glory,. owes 'a greater debt than it can ever repay-to the other and smaller Ontario 'communities which have. poured their life- {blood into the provincial capital. 4 It is unfortunate, perhaps, that so many people {should be lured away from the smaller centres by the glamor of the big city life. A. big city is net .mécessarily a good city in which 'to live. In com- gatison, it may have things on a: bigger scale, not on a better scale than the stall cities. Life in a small city: has to it a more wholesome flaver than in the crowded and unsympathetic metropolis. The big city "gan-be the most lonely 'place in the world to the : stranger, in spite of its teeming. tens of thousands, "but in the smaller home city, where everybody knows @verybody 'else, where friends exchange greetings on évery street corner, and there is not the hectic pres- sure of life, there are advantages which the big city * lacks. B A LEGAL PARADOX te, 'YM. W. McEwen, a Brantford lawyer, in defending 2 man accused of a breach of the liquor control act, pointed to one of the glaring weaknesses of the pre- gent system of the sale of liquor. CsiEpphink 15184 serious offense," he said, "that 1! the same authority that sells a man enough liquor to make him liable to serve a two months' tern should ask that a customer be tréated that way. It is about time that the Ontario liquor control ! board captrolled." "And this remark seemed so sane that the prosecut- ing counsel had to admit that Mr. McEwen was right. bio 2 It is one of the great weaknesses of any system of "government sale of liquor, of course, that the government authority should be at one and the same time the vendor of the liquor and the prosecutor of the man who drinks it. This reveals the truth that liquor control is not controlt'in any real sense, and that the term is a misnomer. j There can be no control of liquor once it has been handed over the counter of a government store. And, since it is possible for man to buy it in almost unlim- ited quantities, there is no real control at all. But once the sale has been made, the control is gone." It can be used by the. purchaser in any way he'sees fit, so long as he can escape the penaltics of the law. For every man whois convicted of an offence against the liquor control act, there are a score who escape, because unless the police happen to catch a man breaking the law, he can use his legally purchased' Tiquor in any way he chooses. J "No system of sale of liquor can ever be called a control system so long as that condition exists: The only remedy is to reot 'out. the whole liquor sale sys- tem, from the top" to the bottom, and rid the country of an evil which is filling the jails and making -eri- minals out of men because they are good customers . of the government. . 'a : \. WAR ON WEEDS "The "seriolishess of the weed situation throughout the province of Ontario, and even in Ontario county, ¢an be sensed by the drastic steps' which have been taken. by the Ontario department of agriculture to: eliminate them from the farms of the province, Only recently the Ontario county council was visited by the government imspector from Eastern Ontario, and, in his address, he stressed the importance, to every individual farmer, of waging an ufrelenting war on weeds, : It may seem surprising that it should be necessary to pass legislation to compel farmers, and others, to cut the weeds on their property. One would imagine that self-interest: would prompt that action without any compulsion, weeds are a source of tremendous loss to every farming community, for where weeds flourish, otherwise profitable crops sicken and decay. 'And, in addition, the unsightliness of a mass of weeds js detrimental to the value of any property should it be placed on the market. For the progressive farmer, of course, there is no need of comipulsion. He wages war on wéeds on his own property, because he knows it will_pay him to do so Buf, unfortunately, his" next-door neighbour gay not bé so progressive, One careless and lage farmer in a district con infest the whole neighbour- hood with an almost uncontrollable 'crop of noxious weeds, This is the type of nian for whom legisla- tion is needed. No one likes laws which provide for compulsion in the way which this act does, but it is necessary, for the welfare of the farming interests of the province, this it shofild be enforced. The only alternative 'would be a realization on the part of every property owner, in both country and city, that he owes a duty to himself and his fellow-man in getting rid 'of the weeds on his property. COURTESY TO TOURISTS It is stated that complaints have been made against the. police of London, Ontario, and the surrounding districts, to the effect that they -have been showing discourtesy towards tourists from the United States, It is not always wise to take these reports at their face value, for it is. often the casc that the com- plaints come from people who have been guilty of flagrant violations of the' Ontario traffic laws, and who are aggrieved because they were caught in the act. It would be well, however, to stress the necessity of exercising the utmost courtesy to visitors from south of the border. They are strangers travelling in a strange land, and the reputation of Canada for genial hospitality should not be endangered by a few over-officious constables or other officials. The tourist trade is a valuable asset to Canada, and it has been built up because motorists have found the people of this country hospitable and courteous. That is a reputation worth having, and it should be the aim of all citizens to be worthy of it by their manner of dealing with visitors from the other side . of the border. ' © A WISE IDEA D. M. Ross, M.P.P., addressing a meeting at Wood- stock recently, said he was strongly in favor of hold- ing meetings throughout his riding between terms of ents informed as to what was going on there. There is much merit in the suggestion. Mr. Ross expressed the fear that such meetings might not attract audiences. Perhaps he is right in a sense, but were they to be held as a regular matter of policy, and the people were made to expect and ap- préciate them, it is just possible that he would be surprised by the number of citizens who would avail themselves of the opportunity of hearing the menm- ber give an account of his stewardship. When party leadérs, like the Hon. R. B. Bennett, find it worth while to tour the country at the close of a session, to give the people their views on the matters which have been under discussion, thére is every reason to believe that the rank and file of the members of our governing bodies might profitably do likewise in the ridings they represent. This would be enlightening to public opinion, would give these members the opportunity of giving an account of their stewardship, and, in time, would result in a much better informed public so far as federal and provincial affairs are concerned. RELIGION AND DIVORCE In discussing with vehemence the increase in di- vorees, the decrease in marriages and the evils of companionate marriage at the recent Lutheran Con- vention at River Forest, Illinois, a Buffalo minister expressed the view that "The chief factor is the loss of religion." He is probably right, but yet, such a condition is not easy to understand. If there is less religion in the world than there used to be, why is it that church- es continually report growing memberships, keep on building more and larger church edifices, and consist- ently extend their field of activities. That, if any- thing, would indicate more and more religion in the world than ever before, Uniortunately, it can no longer he taken for granted that true religion is indicated 'by church member- ship. Churches may quite easily by growing numeri- cally withéut adding anything to the religious life of those who are swelling the membership rolls. Church membership, in itself, is a splendid thing. It gives a vital contact with the means of Divine grace, and provides an outlet for the expression of true religion. Yet there must be more than that before the world can be made what it should be. Religion must be vital and living in the individual, rather than in the mass, and that is what the Lutheran minister probably meant when he said that the chief factor in moral conditions throughout the world today was the loss of religion, oS EDITORIAL NOTES a ---- Building is booming in practically every community in Ontario.

THE OSHAWA DAILY, TIM ES, MONDAY, JULY. 8, 1920 Other Editor's Comments AMERICAN PERSISTENCE # (New York World) A story is told by Mr. Winston Churchill, illustrative of the enter- prise of American newspaper Tre- porters. One day, wién he was just knocking off work rather late in the evening, a card was brought to him with the curt announcement, "An- other American reporter seeking to interview you, sir." "Oh, all right; show him in" said Winston, and without glancing' at the name on the pasteboard, threw it amongst a pile of others on his desk. "You ought to feel yourself highly honored, young man," he said to the reporter on his 'entrance. "Do you know I've turned down seven of your compatri- ots this afternoon," indicating the pile of visilhg cards. "I know, I'm them," replied the American, AUTOMOBILES IN 1901 (C.G. in the New Bedford Standard) There were automobiles on the streets in 1901, but not many. They had no front doors, and if the car had a tonneau, the door was in the' middle of the back. The driver sat on the right; the brake and gear shift levers were outside, at his right hand. It is 'said some of the models in those days had whip sockets, but I do not vouch for that. People who rode in these contrivances outside the city limits wore goggles and dus- ters reaching to their shoes. The women, still with the large hats and long skirts of the pre-automobile age, had veils. Most of the country roads then, were dirt roads; it was considered very humorous to carry a banner reading "Excuse our dust" for the edification of drivers of horse-drawn equipages that you pass- ed on the road, here were many complaints that the noisy benzine buggies werc scaring the horses, Nobody had any registration plates or a license to drive; there were no traffic rules; you could park any-, where as long as you pleased and had no difficulty in finding a place to park.

"Well, you needn't be so haughty about it" retorted the spasmodical contributor. 'You're not the only one that won't print it." In "I am a woman of few words," an- nounced the haughty mistress to the new maid. "If I beckon with my fing- er that means, come." "Suits me, mum," replied the girl "I'm a woman of few words myself.

That Ve: il ? By James W. Barton, M.D. MEAT TEST MEALS For years a "bread meal has been usedsto test the ability of the stom- ach digestive juice to do its work, A slice of bread was given and af- ter an hour it was removed by the stomach pump along with. the diges- tive juice of the stomach. The strength of 'the digestive juice was then learned and treatment given in accordance therewith, However Dr. M. E. Rehfuss of Philadelphia has been experimenting on normal and sick individuals with a "meat" meal instead of a bread meal, He has been able to show that a stomach whose juice does not show much strength in digesting a bread meal, may show considerably more when it is digesting a meat meal. The point is that some individuals may have a normal mucous mem- brane in the stomach but because of some general condition of the body, causing the acidity in the stomach to be low normally, the effect of the stomach juice: on the bread meal is weak, whereas with a meat meal the juice becomes much stronger. In other words the ' neat meal stimulates the juice glands to do more effective work, : Dr. . Rehfuss suggests therefore that persons who show but a weak effort in digesting the bread meal should be tried out with a meat meal. In his experience, in a proportion of these cases, the: strength of the juice was greatly increased, and this of course means a better chance for the patient to get completely well. This should be a matter of encour- agement fof patient 'and physician who have been relying entirely upon results obtained with the bread meal. In fact persons giving a similar re- sponse to bread and meat cannot be considered normal. This all means that sufferers from stomach trouble and unfortunately they are numerous, will now not only get the bread meal but will get a "second chance" with the meat meal, in the physician's. endeavor to get an exact idea of the condition of the stomach, (Registered in accordance with the Copyright Act) The writing of slogans has al- ways appealed to millions of news paper readers. In recent months the Bond Electric Corporation of Jersey City conducted an inter. esting and nation-wide contest inviting the public to submit slo- gans on the six outstanding fea- tures of Bond flashlights and bat- teries.. More than 250,000 persons from every section of the country participated and sent in their sug- gestions, . Rivalry for the prizes was spirited. As a result it was one; of the most successful as well as stupendous slo- gan contests held in the country, Se- lecting. the winners from the "vast avalanche of entries kept a large staff industriously oecupiéd for more than three months, arranging and classify- ing the various slogans. It was four weeks before the job of picking the prize winners was actually completed. There was a Jarge number of really good slogans, but fany of them had to be discarded because they were too general and did not apply directly to any specific feature of the Bond flash- lights or mono-cells, : A total of 1,183 prize winners emerged from the vast number of entries. The first prize winner was E. E. Upton of Little Rock, WArk., who gets $2000 for -his slo- an: "REST. RENEWS . THE URRENT YOU USE." This was written on the unique recu- perative feature of Bond batter- ies. The company explained that the Bond batteries to a: greater extent than any others restore their own depleted energy when not: in: use. 'Governor Harvey Parnell of Arkansas will formally award the prize to Mr, Upton. The manufacturing plant of the Bond Electric Corporation in Jersey City covers a whole block. It is' six stories high and is of concrete, There fifty million mono-cells, besides flashlights, radio batteries and other kindred pro- ducts are produced yearly: Truly a colossal undertaking!

Without going into definite stat- istics, that prove there is less crime in localities that have plenty of recreation than in those not so forward, it might be well to men- tion that there would be less mis- chief among the more vital boys and girls of any district, if there was a wholesome clubhouse with amusements, harmless mischief that could easily in later life devel- op a tendency towards crimes not so harmless, Of late years, many factory and mill owners have realized this, and realize that to keep their em- employees and their families con- tented and to reduce the appalling and expensive labor turnover, have built nice clubhouses with an ag- A short time ago there appeared er hall, gymnasium, billiard tables and bowling alleys to satisfy their employees' desire - for com- panionship and diversions. Any small town or garming community can be, with n¥ stretch of imagin- ation, likened to a group of factory employees and their families, and the mayor or reeve of these com- munities should. look on himself as the general manager - of that community, and give the same thought to this important problem as the factory manager wishing to reduce the number of people leav- ing his employ. If the community is not intending to build a elub- house with lots of recreational op- portunities, such as dancing, gymnastics, English billiards and bowling, they should select some enterprising man of good character and induce him to open .a public billiard academy or Lowling alleys. such as has been done by Mr. W. W. Hiltz, ex-mayor of Toronto, and J. J. Duffus, ex-mayor of Peterborough, > Curry, of St. Catharines, and many other prom- inent men throughout Canada. Police Magistrate Jones, of To- ronto, who is an active boys' lead- er, writes: "I believe the answer to one of the most. pressing social problems today lies in the parents and social leaders, not only ap- preciating thé need of recreation, but in getting out and actually participating in these games with the voung people." 4 He further says: "There is no question of the value of such re- creation as billiards and bowling in the church and community. club, and the value to the community of public recreation establishments is in direct ratio to the character of the many that the town entrusts with the franchise to operate such places. The exodus from the farm and small community will quickly stop the minute friendship is shown in a true light and plenty of wholesome amusement and re- creation is supplied, not only tc the young people, but to the older peope, who do not grow .old be- fore their time.--Municipal Re- view of Canada.

BATTLE FOR GIR: 1,500 Gather to Witness Fistic Combat at Grimsby Grimsby, July 8.--In front of a mob of 1,000 or 1,500 people gath- ered on Smithville's main corners in anticipation of the trouble, Russ Swayze and Jack Inglis, two farm- er lads, in Saturday night precipi- tated a battle which assumed the proportions of a big-town riot when large sections of the onloos- ers took sides and joined in. A girl was the cause, although the exact angle of the favored and unfavored suitor has yet to be re- vealed in news despatches. Three weeks ago one of the same men took offense when young lady in question came out of a store with the other man. A punch was lev- elled, and the first round was on. But it was stopped before a de- cision was reached and everybody in South Grimsby and Gainsbero' Township knew that it would be renewed, and that the probable ' place and time would be Smith- ville and Saturday night when the two rivals came to town. So the people were there in hundreds-- more than Smithville has ever witnessed before in its peaceful career. Farmers drove in for miles around. The battle royal was staged des- pite the warnings of Reeve Rooerc Book of South Grimsby, who on Friday night told Thompson Wil- cox to keep Jack Inglis, his hired man, at home; and on Saturday evening he warned Arthur Swaze, father of the other combatant, to keep his son at home. Book was assured in both places that no fight would be staged. But at 9 o'clock the rush was made; the fight was on, with fists and feet Inglis is: said to have been besting Swaze when onlookers joined in, and soon there was a general milling mix- ture raging around the town corners. : Reeve Book called on Grimsby for police protection, and Provin- cial Constable Embleton and Chief Wentworth responded. Ald was also sought from High County Con- stable Zimmerman, at St. Cather- ines. Provincial Constables Robie and Metcalfe rushed to the scene. They arrived about 10.15 o'clock, but it took until 12.30 to clear tne street. Police remained there till 2 o'clock Sunday morning. . P.C. Embleton said yesterday the mix- up was the worst he had ever seem. As a result Russ Swaze and Jack Inglis will be charged with disor- derly conduct and will appear bes fore Magistrate James Campbell or St. Catharines. According to Inglis, the fights started when Swayze made dispar- aging remarks regarding a young ; lady. Inglis said he had two fing- ~ ers badly bitten and his face in- jured. Swayze could not be seen today, but it was learned he wzs badly beaten. Smithville has no police protec- tion. but efforts will now be made" to have a competent' police officer appointed.
