REPRESENIATIVES IN U. 8, : Powers and Stone, Inc, New York and Chicago. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1929 DRASTIC MEASURES 7 Hon, G. S. Henry, speaking at Port Perry on the occasion of the opening of the new pavement be- tween that town and Manchester on Monday even- ing, took advantage of the opportunity to issue a solemn warning that his department proposed to take drastic mcasurcs against motorists who were careless and reckless, This, statement was made in a reference to the increasing number of accidents on the highways, and special mention was made of mo: torists who drive ours with glaring headlights, or with only onc light on their cars, It is only too apparent that drastic measures are necessary to cut down the number of accidents on the Ontario highways, and the two types of condi- tions mentioned are probably the cause of a great many of the mishaps, But we have observed on many occasions that the department of highways hus Sthreatened to take drastic action to curb these dan- gerous practices, Unfortunately, these threats never went any further, and glaring headlights and one- light cars arc just us common on the highway as ever they were, Every motorist knows this to be true, It only re- quires one trip on the highway, say, from Oshawa to Toronto, fo colvinee' anyone that there are hun dreds of motorists who have no regard for the law in respect to glaring headlights, and requiring motor cars to carry two lights in front, Yct omesvery rarely hears of any car driver being prosecuted for such breaches of the luw, which arc just as serioys us speeding or ony other type of reckless driving. So that Mr, Henry was not exactly breaking new ground when he made his statement at Port Perry, althoSugh the fact that the minister himself uttered it may mean that it is to be taken seriously this time. THE MISSING FLIERS All Canada is watching cagerly for news from the northern wilds regarding the cight intrepid aviators whe are missing. For over two weeks nothing has been heard of them, and as cach day passes, the hope of rescuing them .becomes fainter, although some of those who are familiar with conditions are confident that they are safe and well, and are merely waiting for someone to find them, Oshawa is particularly interested in the search for the missing airmen because of the fact that William Spence, a former Osliawa boy, is one of the leading aviators of the scarching group, He is credited with 3 having so vast u knowledge of flying over the north country that he is likely to find them if anyone can, The interest aroused by this intensive search has drawn attention to the large part which the aero- plane is playing in the opening up and exploration of places which were formerly beyond the reach of man, * The very name of the company which sent out the two missing aeroplanes, Dominion Explorers, is sige nificant of the work which is being done, The hope of all Canadians, however, is that the pioneer stages + of such aerial exploration may not be. marred by a *ragedy which may cost the lives of eight men, JUDGES ARE EMPHATIC Mr, Justice Kelly and Mr. Justice Wright, two of | the judges of the supreme court of Ontario, have © within the last few days expressed themselves em- ' phatically with regard to automobile fatalties and accidents in general, At the assizes at Brantford, Mr, Justice Kelly handed out penitentiary terms to two motorists who were convicted of manslaughter, + the charges arising out of fatal accidents on the b highway. In imposing the t , he said, very significantly, that there were too many automobile killings." . That is. a strong phrase, and yet he was probably sincere in using it, for the gross neg- igence apparent in some cases is sufficient to war- rant it, * A day or two later, Mr. Justice Wright, at Ham- ilton, was presented with a docket which included four manslaughter cases arising out of automobile accidents, He, too, had something pertinent to say in connection with such charges. And in his re- marks he expressed a thought identical with a sug- gestion which was made recently by The Times, in ** gonnection with the granting of driver's permits for automobiles, He said: "Automobile accidents are not always ac- cidental, but are sometimes brought about by carel and reckl 1 might suggest that a more stringent law be enacted to make - more difficult the securing of a driver's li cense, Those who are addicted to too much drinking or are recognized for their reckless- ness natures, might well be recommended for special attention in that direction." There is good conimon sense in that attitude, even it hardly goes far enough. It might also be sug. gested that provision should be nmde in the law to deprive of the right to drive cars those who have been convicted "of driving while intoxicated. Seven days in jail means very little to a man who will drive @ car while under the influence oi liquor, He will, ¢ SHEE] cases, the safest remedy' w be to suspend his driving permit for a considerable period, long enough realize that those responsible fof the [the law are ied to make the It is it is too large for any visitor froh the other side of the Atlantic to be able to analyze it fully after a brief visit," Yet this is what ¢ gan, a visitor from Great Britain, and this summing up of Canada is of such a nature as to border on the ludicrous, It, at least, shows that he has little understanding either of the country or of the le who inhabit it, In an interview in Toronto, Hon. Evan Morgan made some surprising statements, He stated that the Peace River country is not ready to receive settlers because it lacks hospitals and "pubs," the latter being the English expression for the former "saloons" of Canada, It is true that the lack of hospitals in the far distant points of Canada is to be deplored, but that conditions is being remedied as fast as the Can- adian Red Cross Society can establish its outpost hospitals, So far as the "pubs" are concerned, peo- ple from other lands might as well understand that, such places are now entirely wiped out in Canada, and that there is little prospect that they will ever come back, The people of Canada have found that the country is better off without them, and new set, tlers will have to accept that condition, whether they like it or note The chief complaint of the Hon, Evan Morgan ! was that things were not made us easy for him while he wagtouring Canada as he is used to find- ing them in his country. He complains because a drain conductor made him walk through the train to sécure his ticket from a coat in another compart- mient. He complains that the social amenities in this country age not up to the standard to which he has been accustomed in England, In opening his remarks, he stated that he intended to speak "straight out from the shoulder" and that he would not mince words, In reply, it is just as well to speak straight out. and to tell Mr, Morgan that he has failed to grasp the essential qualities of Canadian life, particularly in the western districts which are crying out for scttlers, Canada is not a country for people who wish to have things made smooth for them, It is a coun- try for workers of the pioneer type, for men who will make their own conditions, and who will be willing to endure hardship for the sake of the success it will bring. So far as the social amenities are concerned, the average settler who comes from Great Britain will not worry a great deal about that, It is a fact that living conditions in this country, so far as the average working classes are concerned, are far in advance of what they are in most parts of Great Britain, This is particularly true of the life in the. large cities. Canada has not yet, to any appreciable extent, adopt- ed the tenement system of housing which has re- sulted in. the icitics of the old land becoming so crowded with people. In Canada. there is room for the working classes to breathe, room for them to have their own gardens around. their home, some- thing which is almost unknown in the cities of the old land, The Hon, Mr, Morgan must remember that it is not to peoplé of his type that Canada looks for settlers who will open up the rich areas waiting for development, And he should realize, too, that Ca- nadians will not fawn upon any man simply because he happens to have a handle to his. name, He must be willing to be accepted for what he is and what he does, and not simply because he was fortunate enough to be born a"member of the titled aristocracy, His big mistake was that he spoke too hastily, and did not wait until he really knew something about Canada before condemning this country as a place unfit for settlers, A SOCIAL QUANDRY They are having a terrible time in Washington just now over the tremendously important, question of who shall sit next to President Hoover when he en- tertains Premier MacDonald, and who shall sit next to Mrs, Hoover. It must be an important question, for diplomats and state officials have been sitting up nights and losing sleep in their effort to see that no- body shall be slighted or offended by the position he or she is asked to occupy at the table. Not having been at any functions of that type, it is hurd to say whether there is any advantage in having a scat glose up to the president or not, Per- haps the choicest viands are located at the end of the table, or perhaps the helpings are a bit more generous there than at some of the locations farther down the line, But there must be some difference to cause all the fuss which has been created by the desire to please everybody, It may be important, but to the average person reading about it, it seems like a good deal of tom- myrot, especially in a country which declares, in its constitution, that all men are born free and equal. Of course, the fact that they are born that way does not: mean that they will always stay that way, but to the fellow who is glad to be able to earn his three square meals a day, the proper term for the whole squabble would be "Much Ado About Nothing," EDITORIAL NOTES Magistrate Hind would have a busy time if the traffic laws were strictly enforced in Oshawa, One result of the provincial clection will be to postpone until a later date municipal election gossip, Now that Viscount Willingdon has recovered from his illness, he will soon be making that deferred visit to Oshawa, That racuous noise which is being heard so fre- quently nowadays is simply a sign that somebody's coal cellar is being filled up, ------ A news despatch tells of a man's car colliding with another driven by his wife.

The Doukhobor "Sons of Freedom" are quoting Scripture pretty freely in defence of their position, The Dominion Attorney-General came back on them pretty good when he quoted the verse--"Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's and unto God the things that are God's" It is just another illus tration of the misuse of Scripture to meet one's own end or serve some fanatical purpose 8 large county, and : we to squander lessly on vast arma~|w ments which, by tial hostility, must and irritation, ---- THE BACKWARD PUPIL (Orillia Packet Times) One of the questions which is oc- cupying the attention of educational departments and staffs is the care of backward pupil, At present, this pupil is with a class of pupils who can progress much faster than he can and he naturally becomes dis- Courag The teacher, too, finds the problem of dealing with slower pu- pils discouraging. ith a class of 40 or over, it is impossible to give the time to each pupil that is necessary with cases of this kind, The result is that the special time given to such pupils hinders the others, and the time given to them is not sufficient to have much impression, RESPECT FOR THE COLORS (Lindsay Post) The other day the Border Cities Star commented editorially on the fact that few men bared their heads when a regiment swung by on Wind- sor streets headed by the King's colors, commonly known as the Uns jon Jack. Jt peinted out that this was disrespect to the flag and to the King, Just a day or so before the Stratford Beacon-Herald suggested that people in passing war memorials should salute in some way or other, pointing out that it is done as a mat- ter of course in England, Few peo- ple do it in Canada and the number who do it seems to get smaller year by Jour, but both editors are abso- lutely right in their contention, } . uk oi to Bits of Humor .

Alain Gerbault, the young French- man who sails the Seven seas alone in a cockleshell, recently put in a wireless set, and they tell on the stormy Atlantic a little anecdote about him, Gerbault, on his first wireless equip- ped vorigq saw one day in mid- ocean the dhormous Leviathan, He turned to his wireless. "Are you ready to receive a mes- sage?" he flashed. "Yes, the Leviathan flashed back. Then Gerbault in his tiny cockle- shell hesitated. What to say next? Finally, rather at a loss, he flashed : "Is there anything 1 can do for you?"

What really has happened? Some research men are of the op- inion that the ligaments holding the joint get stretched and even slightly | torn and therefore any movement or strain in the region will cause pain, even as a slight strain or tea of the ligaments about the ankle can cause intense pain if ankle is used, and yet the X-ray reveals no trouble what- ever about the joint, Prof, Lucas-Keene is of the opin- ion that there is a slight tear on the inner side of the small square shaped muscle in lower back, where it is at- tached to the ligaments holding the joint mentioned above. together, The treatment consists of rest of the joint to' give the stretched - or tor Wace and ligaments a chance heal, In very heavy folks this means rest in bed with a pillow under the but- tocks, for two or three wecks, fol- lowed by strapping, and later, wear- ing a breee, In ordinary cases, after a few days in bed, an adhesive strapping is very snugly applied across the joint, and comes to a point about two inches | below the prominent point on hip side, The adhesive tape if removed in five or six days, and a brace, 'the lower strap of which comes over the joint, is then applied, This brace has a support ten inches long by five in- ches wide behind, and also a support in front, to hold up the abdomen, (Registered in accordance with the Copyright Act.)
