Powers and Stone, Inc. New York asd Chicago SATURDAY, JANUARY 25, 1930 ' FIRE CHIEF ELLIOTT'S REPORT Citizens who read the report of Fire Chief Elliott tvhich was published in yesterdays Times must have done so with a feeling of satisfaction and security. As the Chief's report shows, the fire loss during the past year has been very moderate, indeed, and indicates a degree of efficiency in fire fighting of which this city may well be proud. Among 212 alarnis received many of them must have represented dangerous blazes that would undoubtedly have re- stilted in heavy losses had they not been nipped in the bud. Another pleasing feature of the report is the refer. ence to discipline, which the Chief réports has been first class during the year. That there have been no changes in the Personnel, other than the addition of five members of the department, indicates a good relationship between the men and the Chief. Wo reference is made in the report to the improve ments in the fire hall during the year, and credit should be given the department for co-operating so splendidly in putting their quarters in better shape. Reference is made to the need for enlarged quarters, botly for equipment and staff. It is hoped sympathetic attention will be given by the city council to the recommendations of the Chief, partictilarly his request for additional hose and new ladder truck. In our opinion Oshawa is fortunate in having & man who possesses the ability and energy which has t#0d Chief FElliott's work during the past two years and we feel we can safely give him and Jiw cpewnsss body of men his word of praise and encouragement. We hope also that 'many citizens will avail themselves of the Chief's invitation to visit and inspect the department. Suéh a visit would con- rinee anyone that the work is in good hands, SAFETY EDUCATION The record of work done by the Ontario Safety League during 1929, in the interests of educating the people of the provincegin the value of "safety firat" habits is a formidable one, -It may seem, from the lists of highway and industrial accidents, that the work is not bearing much fruit, but all educational effort must be persistent and cumulative if it is to secure results, so that the Safety League is devoting "itself to a tasle that is, worth while, The year 1929 completed the sixteenth year of the league's campaign in safety work. Early in the year an. essay contest was conducted in the schools on ., highway safety, And $605 distributed in cash prizes, Later, a contest on accident and fire preverition es- says, with $400 in prizes, was, conducted. During the _ fall school terms, an intensive campaign of lecturing on safety was carried on, 418 schools, with 179,000 "pupils, being visited id 79 different towns, cities and villages 6f Ontario. Talks on safe driving were broadcast by radio, and literature with the same end "in yiew distributed to over 4,000 garages in all parts 9 ch Bhi ach AF Ne fl pein dp Sint mu "admit that they cannot cope with t of Ontario. Through the courtesy of the minister of "highways, 550,000 special cards were distributed to motorists along with the 1929 license plates. " These are all activitics which serve to impress on the public mind the need for- thinking safety at all times. And, in addition to 'these, the league dis- tributed 51,000 industrial bulletins, 64,500 special bul letins, 64,900 traffic bulleting, 175,000 school bulletins, 200,000 letters to parents, 11,000 cards and reports, "12000 safety/calendars, and 14,700 circulars and cir- 'cular letters. That represents a formidable educational effort, an effort which, if kept up year after year, is bound, in time, to bear fruit, and to result in a greater ap- preciation on the part of the people of Ontario of the need for observing every rule and habit which is conducive to the safety of human life. AID FOR UNEMPLOYMENT The terms which have been faid down by Premier King as 2 basis for securing federal aid in providing relief for unemployment in Canada are, to say the feast, unfortunate, Discussing the matter with & delegation from the Trades and Labor Congress, Mr. King stated that if the provinces of Canada, jointly, he situation, then the federal government is prepared to discuss reme edial measures with them. ' 2 To use the language of the man on the strect, this is a handsome illustration of that interesting | mow than it has been for several years, 4 Bro known as "passing the buck." It is claimed in practically every province in the dominion that the need for unemployment relief work is greater Yet, during "these past , the federal government helped the iin eroding for one third of the cost of spe- cial unemployment relief work, the provinces paying ode third and the municipalities concerned paying the other third, This year, when the need is great: -est, the federal government disclaims all responsi- bility, and refuses to give anything. Yet, if there is. no sésponsjbility oft the' federal government to- day, there was no responsibility in past years, years when 'conditions were not so bad as they are this year, irl which assistance was forthcoming. The "statement that the federal government will only discuss remedial action if the provinces admit their inability to cope-witly the situation. shows s lack of appreciation of what that situation is, Much of the unemployment condition of today is due to the activity of the federal government in inducing ime migrants to come to Canada. Thousands of these immigrants are now in the large centres of popula- tion, unable to find work, and are thus becoming a charge on the municipal and provincial authorities, Surely the federal government cannot claim to have no responsibility towards these immigrants, brought to Canada under its auspices, and then left to shift for themselves in a time when work is hard to find, The federal government has a responsibility in this matter, even although it may be only a moral one. And it should be big enough to come to the aid of the municipal and provincial authorities, as it has done in past years, without asking the pro- vinces to prove that they have exhausted all their resources before sending out a plea for help. RADIO ADVERTISING (Orillia Packet, Times) Dr. De Forest is "plumb right" when he says that radio listeners are becoming nauseated with the flood of direct advertising that is being sent out on the air these days. If radio advertisers could see the _ frantic haste with which fans twist the dials as soon as advertising talks begin they would hesitate to spend their money on expensive programs. It is not only that advertising is not listened to, it is resented and the phsycological effect on which advertisers now lay so much emphasis is bad. The movement for nationalizing radio will get decided impetus from the desire to get away from having talks on shoes and watches and what not thrust upon people in thier homes, and for programs of bettér quality than are now being provided. With nationally operated sta- tions it would be possible also to have the programs more consistent--that is, to have one sending out high class music, another music of popular variety, another music of jazz and light comedy, instead of having each station trying to cater to all tastes. Radio fans would then know where to turn for the sort of program they wanted, and would not turn away in disgust after trying in vain, up and down the scale, to discover something to please them. Another feature of the radio advertising is the fact that to an increasing extent, it is being carried on on'Sunday. On that day, the air might well be free from it, at least as far as Canadian stations are con- cerned. There is no more reason to permit. radio advertising on Sunday than any other business--the publication of newspapers for instance. SHORT CROP NO LONGER FEARED In its annual survey of business conditions through- ont western Canada the Manitoba Free Press draws attention to the fact that the short crop of 1929 is not having the adverse influence it would have had some years ago when there was less diversity of industry. Everywhere in the west optimism is quite evident and preparations in the way of building pro- grams bespeak confidence in the future. The Western farmer fs an optimistic individual wha is not easily discouraged. He takes a crop fail- ure as a matter of course, Why not? The follow- ing year may bring a bumper crop. That is the spirit which buoys up during a period of depression and makes for ultimate success. 1t is said that in those districts where mixed farm. ing is carried on agriculturists are little affected by the "lean" year. Farmers who have hitherto confined their activities to grain growing only would be well advised to get away from carrying all their eggs in one basket. --Kitchener Record. WHAT ARE CANADIANS The Bureau of Statistics, a Dominion Government organization, announced re- cently that when the next census is taken in 1981 the Canadian nationality is to be recognized. All persons born in Canada are to have the designation "Canadian", also all British subjects who have acquired fegal domocile and all naturalized persons and their children. For many years there has been an agitation on foot in the public press and on the part of public bodies for the recognition of the Canadian nationality. The present situation in this respect is to say the least, ridiculous, CAN'T PLEASE EVERYBODY Mayor Lang of St. Mary's, told the new Town Councillors a fact that they should not overlook when he reminded them in his inaugural address that it is impossible for them to please the people all the time. Com- menting on the mayor's observation, the Journal-Argus says: "The wise Councillor, it seems to us, will not worry his head try- ing to accomplish such an impossible task. As | as he knows he is doing his level best {oy Do up to the oath of office, he should not worry. After all, we believe the average councillor is doing his best to serve the com- munity. He is working for nothing and he deserves considerable for his efforts. In- stead of being under a favor to the rate- Jaye, he is Jodlly the one who is conferring he favor and it is up to the ratepayers to stand behind him and show that they ap- preciate his public spirit in being ready to give his time and effort to serve the com- 'munity. EDITORIAL NOTES The New York judgment that a wife may maintain a separate domicile from her husband may be good faw, but it is very bad for home life. A British inventor claims to have solved the pro- blem of seeing in the dark, That is a welcome dis- covery for the poor daddy who has to get up when baby awakens in the middle of the night. The recent civil service announcements of vacan- cies include one for a moisture tester. There is no need for a rush however, as this official is required by the grain board, not the department of national revenue. a wel > a . ' > Other Editor's Comments LYNCHING PASSING (Bangor Commercial) Following his usual custom at the end of the year Principal Moton of tuskagee institute presents. the list of lynchings tor the year that has just expired. He finds tne number to pe ten, which shows that gracually this form of murder is passing. 'the number is one less than in 19:8, six less than in 19:6 and seven less than in 1925. 'Lhirty years back the num- ber of mob murders reached around 200 annually, 'there were less lynch. ings in 19.9 than in any previous year for which figures are available, During 1929 there were fob mur- ders in but five states, Florida, with four; Texas with three, and Ken- tucky, Mississippi, and Tes with one each, a vital change from the years but a short period back when 'lynchings occurred in nearly all the soutnern states and some northern ones, Perhaps the most, encouraging feature of a still degraded situation is that 27 instances were recorded in which officers of the law acted to prevent lynchings, Such interference was very rare a generation ago and the change indicates a decided dif- ference in public sentiment, DOMINION STATUS . (Ottawa Journal) All this talk about Canada having to do this, that or the other thing, simply because the United States would like it, is getting to be a bit wearisome. Isn't 1t about time that we shaped our policies to suit the in- terests of Canada? Canada may or may not.decide to go haead with the St. Lawrence. But whatever she does decide, in the name of common sense let the decision rest upon the basis of what is for her own advantage, States may want her to do or refrain from doing.

Unfortunately also, these sma'l | wounds that becoms infected and | sometimes cause death occur for | the most part in vigorous persons | in tho best years of life. | Now why do small wounds cause so much trouble? | Because the average person | simply puts something on it, gauze | and adhesive tape, and gets the | bleeding stopped as soon as Dos- sible. Now if a small instrument or something sharp has caused the | wound, then the edges close back | almost immediately and there is | very little bleeding. | This means that whatever was | on the surface of instrument or| other object that caused the wound, | is carried right into the body and | thus sets up trouble. | Where the wound is large r| done by something blunt, | wound bleeds profusely ¢ | | carries the dirt or other cause of | infection out of the body again. | { Dr. F.
