THURSDAY, AUGUST 29, 1929 LOYALTY TO THE COMMUNITY The people of Oshawa are at the present time, while their representative lacrosse team, the Gen- eral Motors seniors, is winning its way to the Do- minion championship, giving a splendid example of community loyalty. The great crowd of support- ers which accompanied the team to its game in To- ronto last Saturday, and the thousands of inquiries as to the outcome of the game in Winnipeg, are proofs of the interest which Oshawans are taking in 'the success of the team, and of the moral port which is behind it as it proceeds ever farther west. This type of loyalty is always a good thing in sport, whether a team is winning or losing. But it is a good thing in other ways as well, It should be just as strongly felt in relation to the broader welfare of the community in matters of develop~ ment, as well as in the realm of sport. The citi- zens of Oshawa who make their living here, who have their homes here, and who are dependent on the city's industrial development for their own should show the same ity They should be and be ever willing ailure. prosperity and Progress, spirit of loyalty to their c strong supporters of Oshawa, to take a vital interest in its success or { This spirit of loyalty does exist in Oshawa, but it:is apt to become neglected when periods of tem- porary depression come along. When everything is going along smothly, and employment is plenti- ful bringing with it general prosperity for the in- dividuals who make up the community, it is not hard to sing its praises, and to be loyal to it. "hat same spirit, however, is needed to an even greater extent when a slump comes along than when the city is enjoying a boom period. Loyalty, in time of depression and adversity is the finest type of loyalty, and the most valuable type of citi- gen is the man who can look behind the dark clouds of the present and see the silver lining of the future. Oshawa needs citizens of that kind, and it would be a splendid thing for the morals of the city, if for nothing else, if more of that spirit conld be developed within its boundaries. A BOY'S RECORD Twelve year 'old Carson Keeler, of 162 Mill Street, Oshawa, has every reason to feel proud of himself. It is not given to every boy to achieve a world's record at that age, but that, apparently, is what he has done. A few days ago, Carson read that a New Jersey boy had flown his kite for twenty hours with- out coming down and that this record was the world's record. He decided that he could beat that record, so he primed his kite for the occasion, pre- : pared the cord, and set it aloft to sail one thou- sand feet above the ground. And there it stayed for twenty-three hours, over three hours longer than what was claimed to be the world's record. Young Carson is to be congratulated, not only on having the world's record, but also on the de- termination and skill which made it possible. There is something to be admired about the boy. or the adult, too, for that matter, who seeks. to do something better than anyone else has ever done it. Boys like that are fairly sure to become successful in life, for that is the very quality which lifts men out of the rut, and sets their feet on the steps of the ladder of fame. The Times con- gratulates Carson Keeler on his accomplishment, and hopes that he will not rest until he has better- ed even his own record. AUTOMOBILES AT THE C.N.E. One of the outstanding attractions at this year's Canadian National Exhibition is the magnificent new automotive building, which was given its of- ficial opeming by Premier Ferguson this week. It was but fitting that the opening of such a build- ing, dedicated to the showing of automobiles, the duct of Ontario's greatest manufacturing in- dustry, should be made a special occasion of more than passing interest. There are few people who cannot recall the days when the old automobile building at the Canadian National Exhibition was more than sufficient for the models displayed. In fact, it is not so many years ago that it was only partly occupied by the automobile exhibits, part of it being given over to exhibits by the Canadian Railways. That building, however, in recent years became hopelessly inad: 'quate for the number of exhibitors desiring to u it, and thus it was that the magnificent structure which has been built this year became a pressing necessity. 2 The new automotive building is a tribute to ) what is probably Canada's fastest growing in- dustry, The spread of good roads throughout the length and breadth of the dominion has stimulated the use of the automobile tremendously, and has been a big factor in the growth of the industry. Motor vehicles are being used more and more for commercial purposes as a result of the network of good roads throughout Canada, and the passenger car has become more of a necessity than a luxury in recent years. Under these circumstances, and with the end of automotive development yet far ahead in the dis- tant future, the new automotive building fills a pressing need of an industry which has still great potentialities for future growth. There is every rea- son to believe that not many years will pass before ' even the present capacious structure will, like its predecessor, become inadequate for the needs of the young giant industry which is steadily moving forward, year by year, to higher levels of pro- duetion. : SNOWDEN WINS The Rt. Hon. Philip Snowden has won a signal victory for Great Britain by his success in securing great concessions from the other allied countries in respect to reparations. It has now become gen- erally acknowledged, in countries. other than France, Belgium and Italy, that Snowden's claim was a just one, and even these countries had to change their attitude in the face of a growing de- termination on the part of the British. public io stand behind Snowden and see the thing through. There is still the difficulty of Germany's attitude towards the agreement, but with Britain's de- cision to lead the way in evacuating the Rhineland it can be taken for granted that a way out of this difticulty will not be hard to find. While Snowden did not secure all he asked for in his first demand, he has had remarkable suc- cess, from the British standpoint, in making the other allied countries meet his demands more than half way. This raises the strong suspicion that for- mer representatives of Great Britain have been too lenient in their dealing with the allied nations in respect to war debts and reparations. It took a man of Snowden's type, a man of bulldog ten- acity and determination of purpose, to secure a better share for Britain of the reparations pay- ments. For the first time since conferences of this kind began, British has been represented by a man who stood for his country's share, and was not swayed from his purpose by European diplo- macy. For that, he is being given, and has earned, the thanks and the admiration of British people of all shades of political opinion, and it can be said with much emphasis that he has done a great déal to popularize the Labor government with the mass- es of the public in his own country, TORONTO AND THE REDS The Toronto police on Tuesday night scored a signal victory over the Communist elements which have been the cause of so much trouble in that city. True, it was 2 bloodless victory, for the Reds, evidently believing discretion the better part of valor, failed to put in an appearance at their ren- dezvous, thus meekly surrendering to the author- ities. It was a victory for the forces of law and order, and a much greater victory than that of two weeks ago, when the police used violent meth- ods in dispersing the Communist crowd. Chief Draper and his men, however, need not think that one victory will end the war with Communism. The Red leaders are bitter oppon- ents of law and order, and it may be taken for granted that they will make other attempts to defy the law. The price of safey from Communist troubles is constant vigilance, and this is the part which the Toronto police will have to play. But we would respectfully suggest that it can be played without resorting to the brutal méthods of dealing with individwals which aroused so much condemnation from many sources on the oc- casion of the Queen's Park battle of two wedks ago. BRITAIN'S BURDENS The trouble in Palestine between the Arabs and the Jews, over a seemingly trifling matter, but one which has its religious aspects and is there- fore dangerous, has shown once again the great part which Britain has to play in carrying the burdens of the world, Palestine is one of the coun- tries over which Britain was given a mandate by the League of Nations. It is not British territory, although it was reclaimed from the Turks and Germans during the war by a British army under Lord Allenby. Yet, by the mandate accepted by Britain, that country is responsible for supervising it, and protecting its people from attacks from outside, " While there have been some caustic references in other cquntries to the mandated territory hand- ed over to the care of Britain after the war, it is not generally recognized that these mandates have been a greater source of expenditure and worry to Britain than of profit. In Mesopotamia, in the Iraq country, and now in Palestine, Britain has been compelled to meet troublesome tribal pro- blems, to take one side or another in fgctional wars, and to keep armed forces in readiness for intervention in case of necessity, as in the present trouble. Of course, this seenis to be the normal British attitude, and there is no Britisher who would care to shirk the responsibilities of world citizenship. Yet it must be rather galling to be told by out- siders that Britain is a territory-grabbing nation, when all that territory brings is a troublesome ad- dition to the heavy burdens already being bwrne by the British people. EDITORIAL NOTES The automobile age seems to have rendered ob- solete the expression, "Hold your Horses!" One type of tourist is the man who thinks a farmer will never miss a few heads of cabbage or a few pecks of apples. There is a lamb in South America that can run 80 miles an hour. But even that lamb would never catch up with the modern Mary. The Mail and Empire says Canada can absorb hundreds of thousands of immigrants and grow great in the doing thereof. That may be true, 'but they cannot all be absorbed until Canada is able to assimilate them ) Other Editor's Comments START FROM THE BOTTOM (Detroit Free Press) The papers are filled with death notices of young men who dive head-first into strange waters and find bottom unexpectedly. The rule that holds in swimimng is equally as sensible in business. Look for the bottom first, and start from there. STARVATION DIETS (Houston Post-Dispatch) There is no substitute for whole- some food, and not only the pro- ducers' pocketbook but also the nation's physical well-being are being affected adversely by the mania for skeleton lines. Many persons fail to appreciate the dan- 'gérs inherent fn undereating, fast- ing, starving and experimenting with this or that faddist diet. PLAIN INSANITY (Montreal Gazette) The city of Niagara Falls, N.Y., has firmly refused permission to Mrs. Susan B. Crove, aged 71, of Hagerstown, Md., to go over the famed cataract in some device or other, The civic authorities look on the project, which is supported by a moving picture company, as one of attempting suicide, and quite rightly refuse to be a party to such attempt, AFRAID OF LIGHTNING (Chatham: News) It is surprising to find the num- ber of people who are terrified of lightning, and yet it is on record that very few persons have ever been struck by lightning, As a matter of fact, there is no reason for terror; but it is useless to tell this to anyone who has a natural aversion for nautre when it is wild. ARSON FROM THE AIR (Detroit Free Press) A person who has sense enough to run an airplane really ought to have sense enough not to drop lighted cigar and cigarette stubs overboard, particularly when trav- elling over a forest. But evidently there are aviators who do that very thing. Which is another dem- onstration of the faet that skill and wisdom are by no means one and the same thing, and that when the first materially out-travels the second, a nuisance is almost certain to develop. REASON MUST PREVAIL (Sarnia Canadian-Observer) The people of Ontario want to see the tourist given a square deal. They like to see Americans turn to Ontario for diversion and, gen- erally speaking, the friendliest re- lations prevail. No one in this province would care to have the tourist made the object of an. unfair discrimination, but neither can an offence by an American - tourist be condoned when a Canadian who similarly oi- fended would be penalized, Reasonable tourists themselves would ask no favors beyond court- eous and fair treatment. THE SMALL FARMER (New York Sun) The small farmer, owner of the land he works, has always been re- garded as the mainstay of social institutions. He has a stake in the hedge. Commonly he is politically minded. He is free and fearless. Independence has ever been the prin¢ipal reward of the hard life he has willingly led. He will not réadily give up that independence. But it is obvious that with chang- ing conditions he must adapt him- self to the new order or be starved out; and the man or congress of men who can tell him how to make the essential adjustment will do more for farmers than half a dozen sumptuously endowed farm boards could do.

Sesus sai unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.--Matthew 18:21, ; Prayer: Give us, Lord, Thy spirit that we may forgive as we hope to be for- wiven, By James W. Barton, M.D. MUST SAVE MORE THAN SURFACE The slogan "save the surface and you save all" has certainly been a great help to the paint industry be- cause paint prevents decay. In the same manner our dental hygienists are reminding us that if the 'teeth be brushed regularly the surface enamel will be preserved thus preventing decay. Now this is of course true to a great extent, but as pointed out be- fore, the children of the foreign im- migrants who come to our shores have never seen a tooth brush and yet they have wonderful teeth. Now why do they have such good teeth? Because the mothers ate the right kind of food, before the children were born, and also because these chil- dren eat the right kind of food them- selves. In the examination of the teeth of Englishmen from various parts of the country a research worker re- cently stated that she found the great majority of them when examined in microscopic section, showed very de- fective development of the texture of both enamel and dentine. Experiments showed that while some foods have a beneficial influ- ence in supplying lime for the teeth, other foods actually interfere with the lime building process. The most powerful help for build- ing lime into the teeth is from vita- min D. This is found in animal fats, par- ticularly the fats of certain sea fish. It is found in egg yolk, milk, suet, butter, and green vegetables. These contain lime and phosphorus. The value of cereals as a break- fast food is dependent to a great ex- tent on the milk, cream, or butter that is used with them, rather than in the cereals themselves. That is from the lime building standpoint. Sometimes milk, cream, butter or animal fats are not available, and it is then that cod liver oil, so rich in vitamin D, becomes so valuable to the growing child. So don't do away with the tooth brush. It is needed for the surface of the teeth, but see that the child gets some of the above foods daily. It is no use saving the surface of a tooth that has become decayed from lack of nourishment, (Registered in accordance with the Copyright Act.) KEEPING YOUNG It is the desire of most of the hu- man race -to try and keep young. Even if folks can't keep young they like to "look" young, anyway. Therefore many men and women | are undergoing operations to "lift" | the skin of the face, to have wrinkles removed, and are taking drugs tc make the eyes luminous, the skin soft and clear, and the figure more slender and youthful, Now what. keeps you alive? Two things. The first is food. Every tissue in your body needs food brought to it by the blood. This food enables each | cell to do its particular work in your body, whether it is muscle, nerve, bone, fibrous, or other cell As it uses the food chemical ac- tion takes place creating heat for the body which is absolutely essen- tial to life. Food then must be eaten to sustain life, However when the cell does its work there is a waste or poison that is created from that work. This must be removed from the body, if the body is to do its work properly. Life will not go on without food, but it will go on even if these poi- sonous wastes are not completely re- moved. That is you can live for a long time even with a certain amount of waste matter in the tissues of the body. Perhaps a better word would be "exist" rather than live, You will remember that Dr, Alexis Carrel has been keeping cells alive for a number of years by giving them nourishment and then washing out any accumulated poisons remaining in the cells from the use of the food by the cells. In other words then, to keep the cells alive and in good condition he finds it just as necessary to wash them out as to nourish them with food. And that is the idea our research men now have about this matter of getting old. If instead of undergoing operations, and taking drugs, thought is given to the diet, a well mixed diet suffi- cient to your needs, no more nor less, and by the use of these foods and daily exercise--if only for ten or fifteen minutes--the wastes are washed away from the tissues then you will keep young longer than by any artificial methods.
