MONDAY, JANUARY 13, 1930 AN ASSET TO THE COMMUNITY Last week a school in religious education was con- docted in Oshawa. There were in attendance at that school 170 persons, Sunday school teachers, of- ficers of Young People's Societies, and leaders of boys' and girls' groups in the city. Of these, ninety- six were so faithful and diligent in their attendance and studies that they were awarded certificates of efficiency. These leaders in religious education, for such they ger Because of their training, are an asset to any community. It is refreshing, in these days on coun- 'ger-attractions in the form of amusements and ene tertainment of many kinds, to find so many men snd women willing to give up their time to a study of how best they can help to mould the young lives of the community through the church organizations. - They have an important work to do, and in fitting themselves to do it well, they were showing a spirit of keenness and interest which is commendable, and which should go a long way towards making that work effective in promoting higher standards of life and living amongst the young people of the city. A VETERAN'S MESSAGE 'Rev. Dr. W. T. McMullen, Woodstock's veteran oi the Christian ministry, who celebrated his 99th birth- day last week, has for some years delivered a yearly birthday message to the people of the & ty in whitch he has lived for the last seventy years. This 'year, in his , he ted very strongly on the fact that the majority of people do not take the trouble to go to church, and suggested that the lay- men of the churches might achieve a good deal by searching out those who are careless in church at- tendance. This thought has drawn an interesting suggestion from the editor of the Woodstock Sentinel Review, who writes as follows: "Men invite friends to attend an athletic event, or to accompany them to a social club, but as a eral rule neglect a similar wel- come to join the congregation with which they are connected." There is a great deal that is worthy thinking over in that expression. Church membership, of course, places upon every me ber responsibilities, and one of these is to take a part in the extension of the Lingdom of God. Too often, there is an idea that this work can only be accomplished by contributing to the cause of foreign missions, ory missions in some far off and isolated parts of our own country, with- out thinking of the mission work that can be done vight at home. Many people, and particularly those who are new- comers to a community, refrain from attending church because, at their first attendance, they have tad no sense of welcome. True, the House of God is the house of all men, and so long as their presence there is well-pleasing in his sight, little thought should be given to the attitude of fellow-worshippers. Yet it is part of human nature to feel either 3 sense that one is welcome, or the opposite sense of being OTe ons another way in which church at- tendance might be encouraged. A word of welcome, # kindly and cordial invitation to return the next Sunday, would make the visitor feel that he or she was indeed in a house of friendship, and that going .to church was something more than simply the ful- filling a Christian duty, . Dr. 84 2 Chea message is one which is needed in every community, All towns and cities have enough _ghurch accommodation to mect the needs of the whole population, were. it used, at least once a Sun- day. But these churches are seldom filled, There is dearly always an abundance of room for newcomers, or for those who have been negligent of church at- tendance. Yet how easy it would be to fill these va- sant seats at every service if every church member eagried out that responsibility of personal mission- ry work amongst those who are right at the door, salting to be invited to come in. § pi ENTRIES ARRE TIME FOR ACTION Cn sharp ner in which the representatives of - y S- on Saturday called to time the German delegates to the Hague reparations confer- "should have a salutory effect on making 'them c their true position. "At the Peace Conference Versailles in 1929, the Germans had the role of defeated nation, and agreed to the terms which "jmposed by the victorsi-. The terms were ac- they must have been accepted with many ervations, for no effort has been made to Sai either carry them out, or, indeed, to enforce them. Ever since the Peace conference broke up with much blowing of trumpets, the German governments have worked unceasingly towards one end, to wriggle out of complying with the terms of the treaty signed by their representatives. And they have been very successful so far, The Young plan of reparations payments, which is under consideration at the Hague, is far short of the agreed to for the sake of restoring something like financial and economic stability the world over. But Germany is still wriggling, and trying to secure fur- ther concessions, trusting to differences of opinion between the creditor nations to enable her to obtain new 'advantages. The representatives of the present French and British governments, however, are of different stuff from their predecessors, and they are not in any mood for trifling. They are direct in their methods, and they have asked for straight dealing from Ger- many, without any quibbling or equivocation. And PM since forceful language is the only kind which pene- into the mind of a German, they are likely to make the debtor nation toe the mark. This kind of method in dealing with Germany is fong overdue, and it is gratifying to those nations which are paying so dearly for the Great War have made up their minds to allow no more tinkering, THE INCOME TAXES Judging from the statement made at Ottawa the other day by the Hon. C. A. Dunning, the federal government must be taking very seriously the many protests which are being made against the duplica~ tion of income taxation which exists in Canada. Un- der the present system, a man is taxed for federal income tax, and then along comes the municipality, by authority of provincial legislation, and places an- other tax on the same income. On the face of it, this is manifestly unfair, but neither of these two taxing bodies is willing to re- linquish its hold on what has proven to be a splendid source of revenue. And revenue is needed, of course, to carry on the affairs of both the dominion and the municipality. Mr. Dunning can hardly be blamed for pointing out that so long as Canada is paying for the cost of prosecuting the war, the income tax, first imposed as a war e, must Yet it is encour- aging to those who are opposed to this double taxa- tion to find the minister Oeriig suggestions as to how the duplication may be eliminated by making a division of the income taxation field, leaving personal income taxation to the smaller body, and the field of business taxation to the Dominion, The finance minister, of course, was very careful to point out that he was not making any promises, but the very fact that he threw out this suggestion leads one to believe that this proposal has alreadf been given governméntal, or departmental, considera- tion, and that, were the provincial governments to agree to this division being made, the federal govern- ment might be willing to meet them half way. APATHY IN MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS (Brantford Expositor) In Oshawa at the recent municipal election the vote was so uneatisfactory that it led The Daily Times to remark that, "the vote was deplorably small, s0 small that it causes one to wonder why so large a percentage of the citizens do not take the trouble to vote" According to The Times the percentage of the electors who went to the polls was only 27 d provisions of the Treaty of Versailles, yet they were A years the ont corner in a lar with a n of individuals approaching or a t, : : y Ui eath this picture, was the statement "Four out of e every ten of these people passi corner eve ery are ected with hemorr- hoids Now .Did you is simply a vein, just like a vein any where in the body? But it has b hard, thickened tortuous, just as the varicose veins your see in the legs. A hemmorrhoid then is simply a varicose vein, Now as mentioned before, durin the war we advised the removal o varicose veins in the legs by opera- tion. This laid the patient up for some weeks, and he was not fit for service for at least three months, And similarly with hemorrhoids. These were likewise removed by the knife. w And now what do we find? One physician gives the history of 50,000 cases of varicose veins removed by injecting quinine and other soly- tions, with uniformly good results, No loss of time from work, no disability, no pain, It was only natural therefore that surgeons should begin the injection of hemorrhoids in the same manner and with the same substances. And already one physician reports 5,000 cases he has treated personally. The results show that there is no pain, no loss of time, and the treat. ment can be given in the doctor's office. This treatment is for the internal type of hemorrhoids. Now what is the cause of these hem orrh®ids and how can they be pre- vented ? In men they can usually be traced to sluggishness of the liver, and to a lazy intestine. the bile is flowing properly from the liver there will be a regularity of movements along the whole intestine, the contents will be in a semifluid form, with no hard substances causing congestion of the veins at the lower end. Itregularity of the intestinal habit in men and women is another fre- quent cauge due to utter carelessness or indifference. The rocking exercise-bending from side to side with the knces straight-- will squeeze the liver and induce bile flow. Eating fruit and root vegetables on Mccount of their "roughage" will sti- mulate the intestinal walls to work and prevent congestion of intestinal contents, (Refistered in accordance with the Copyright Act) Other Editor's Comments S0 SUPERSTITIOUS (The Passing Show) We are told that the Scot is so he won't a sent inj created by lar enforgement of the come tax law, 2 During the past few weeks nearly every paper in the province has voiced disapproval of the measure as enforced, MERCHANT ADVENTURERS (London Times) The foundations of British foreign trade were laid by men who were adventurers as well as merchants, They went out into the world and saw with their own eyes the man- ners and customs and needs of their customers, What seems to be want- ed is a more general revival of that adventurous spirit, Only by the per- sonal touch that comes of actual visits to foreign markets can there be a proper understanding of the mentality of salesmanship, as com- pared with those of foreign rivals, may call for amendment. WHAT A SAILOR THINKS (From the New York Sun) The public has a firm belief that the larger the ship the safer, No sailor would agree with this, The shape, the construction, the cargo and the power of the vessel is what a sailor thinks of in a storm. Up to a certain point size is an advantage in making a vessel less accessible to the attack of the waves; beyond that it may be a handicap in that it makes manocuvering slower and more cir- cumscribed, while it also reduces buoyancy, A large vessel gets un- mercifully slapped by some waves which a smaller craft ride over. IF IT WERE WAR (From the Worcester Telegram) About 3,000 persons were killed in automobile accidents in the United States in September, the worst month on record. During the first nine months of this year, 21,000 per. sons lost their lives as a result of automobile accidents. If the United States were engaged in a war in which the casualties were 3000 a month, and if the war were being fought for no special purpose, the public would be calling for an end of the needless slaughter. But the public is not calling for an end of the needless slaughter of the streets and highways. THE SECOND HUSBAND (Brantford Expositor) A Birmingham man who recently died leaving $160,000 had this state- ment at the end of his will: "In the cvent of my wife martying again 1 wish it to be known to all my friends and relatives that it is my earnest desire that she should do so. In fact, the more quickly she thus demon- strates that she finds life intolerable without a husband the greater will I der this compliment to her mem- per cent. of the total registered vote, notwitl - ing the fact that the citizens were called upon to de- cide several very important issues. In this particular case the electors were asked to decide whether or not they would pay salaries to their aldermen, erect new headquarters for the police, and also elect a public utilities commission, One would naturally suppose that the citizens would be interested in deciding im- portant issues of this character, Apathy at election times, and particularly in muni- cipal contests, is not fined to Oshawa, Other cities have been confronted with the same difficulty in per- suading the electors to vote, In this regard Brant- ford has been no exception, although it must be said that, as a result, perhaps, of a persistent educational campaign, the vote at the recent municipal election was unusually large, although the percentage was not as high as it ought to have been. If the citizens would just take time to reflect that municipal administration concerns some of the most important questions relating to their welfare, such . as the assessment of their properties, the spending of their money collected in taxation, the improvement and beautification of the city, matters relating to po- lice and fire protection, the safeguarding of the pub- lic health, the education of the youth of the city, the undertaking of public works that involve heavy obligations on the taxpayers, and many other mat- ters, they would surely conclude that the responsi- bility of selecting capable administrators and pro- nouncing on public issues is an exceedingly import- ant duty. The remedy for this indifference. seems to be in a campaign of education in regard to the responsi- bilities and duties of citizenship, especially the exer- cise of the franchise. The suggestion has been made that penalties ought to be imposed for neglect to vote without good reason, such as a fine or disfran- chisement for a period of years. However, it is fro- bably true that votes obtained by compulsion, ra- ther than by enlightened interest in public affairs, would lack the necessary intelligence to make them advantageous to the city. * EDITORIAL NOTES Those who feel inclined to envy Lindbergh should remember that even an aviator must begin at the bottom and work his way up.
