Powers and Stone, Inc. New York and Chicage WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 29, 1930 CRIME WAVE BUBBLE BURST The Oshawa crime wave bubble, which was fea- tured in some of the Toronto newspapers towards the latter end of last year, has been cffectively and completely exploded by the annual repoart of Chief of Police Friend, presented to the police commission this week. The report is one that is in every way gratifying to the people of Oshawa, for it shows a much greater desire to observe the law than was apparent in 1928 and a great decrease in the num- ber of what might be called serious offences. The sum total of offences shows a decrease of 32.2 per cent as compared with the previous year, a record of improvement which, we believe, will be hard for any other city in Ontario to equal. There is a great improvement, too, in the amount of property report- ed as lost or stolen, the figures for 1929 being 44.3 per cent less than in 1928. . An analysis of the outstanding points in the chief's report shows that conditions have improved in nearly all types of offences. While there were five more robberies than in the previous year, there were no murders, and a decreased number of cases of abor- tion, perjury, arson, forgery, theft and receiving of stolen goods, all of which are considered serious criminal offences. ' There has been a decrease of 86 in the nuniber of offences against the Liquor Control Act, -indicating that, in spite of the open sale of liquor, the people are becoming more sober in their habits, Ae ep RR % One encouraging feature is the great decerase in the number of traffic offences; these being '455 less than in 1928. The cffect of this is reflected in the record of street accidents, which show a drop of from 475 in 1928 to 328 in 1929. This means that wehile motor accidents throughout the" province as a whole have been increasing in number, Oshawa has a splendid record of improvement in this respect, which speaks well for the care and common-sense chserved by the 'motorists of the city. The record will still stand improvement, of courfe, but the trend is in the right direction, and will, it is hoped, con- tinue in that way. ® % % # It is worthy of note that Chief Friend pays a tri- Bute to the effectiveness of 'the juvenile court in dealing with cases of juvenile delinquency. Since the establishment of this court, he' says, it has been pos- sible to have juvenile delinquents brought before its judge and given proper warning as to the crror of their ways, instead of, as used to be the case, fet- ting cases of minor misdemeanor drop entirely, Thus many young. people are weaned away from ways of wrongdoing before their misdeeds have become se- © riots, and the chances of their joining the criminal ranks in later years have been lessened considerably. Chief Friend says little in his report regarding the weed for impfoved police quarters. As he remarks, the tnembers of the commission are quite conversant with the situation, a8 arc all the people of Oshawa. 'There is every reason to believe, however, that the city council wili, in the very near future, evolve some plan for yelicf of this situation that will meet the weeds of the department until the time is ripe fo municipal buildings that will inclde 2 new police statioch FE CRE LE ORS * On the whole, ther report 'is one which reflects great credit on the police department, which, work: ing under difficultics, has served the city well, and . has, hy its vigilance and unceasing attention to duty, made. at Jarge /contribution to the splendid improve. © sent in. erime conditions in the city durng the last yeats And, above ull, it will relieve the minds of loss who fay have been misled by certain Toronto fowspaper reports' into, believing that there was an "unusually large umount of erime iin Oshawa, On the contrary, there has been a record which will set the pace for many other communities to follow, a sonal which the citizens can regard with consider sure, and, in doing so, can at the same roes the hope that the improvement will ¢ throughout the coming years, | GETTING TOGETHER It is an excellent idea on the part of the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce to have thé members of the City Council, utilities commission and beard of educa- "tion put their fect under the table together as guests: apa joint banquet. Some folks, of course, may think 4 that this is-just aniexcuse for a banquet, but many } Aen oe been held for Tess commrendable pure 4 The swiflh of ihe thing. is what cowits, and the abirit of this banquet is the desire to have all the aportant public Lodies of the city come together, vast to dill Ahings Over in a Siriendly 'way over a" late of chicken. x Before any city can become truly great, it must have that spirit of harmony and close co-operation that makes for progress. A community divided is bound to suffer from stagnation, and the best way to have all these bodies working together, to further the interests of Oshawa is to have them meet on a common basis, to meet as friends, and to learn to have a proper appreciation of each other. Men who have done that can then go back to their tasks, tasks in which they are all working in close relation- ship with each other, with a better understanding of the other fellow's viewpoint, and that is one of the chief essentials for success in any undertaking. . So, we say, it was a happy thought on the part of the Chamber of Commerce to arrange for this banquet, and- we might as well pass on the sugges- tion that such events should be held a great deal more frequently than they are. HOUSING AND HEALTH In a bulletin dealing with the effect of good hous- ing on public health, the Social Service Council of Canada gives some interesting data showing the close relationship between these two things. Proper housing, of course, includes the provision of proper sanitary conveniences, proper ventilation and light, and an absence of over-crowding. There are few people who will disagree with the dogma that health cannot be properly maintained in unsanitary, ill-ven- tilated and over-crowded dwellings, and yet the coun- cil has found, in its investigations, that there are, in some cities of Canada, conditions that should not be allowed to exist. A proof of the assertion that housing conditions do have an effect on the health record of a com- munity, the bulletin cites the experience of the local authorities of Liverpool, England, in cleaning up slum areas. In one of the slum areas in that city there was a death rate from tuberculosis ranging from forty to sixty per thousand of the population. The slum area was cleared out, and new dwellings, with proper sanitary conditions, erected to house the same population on the same amount of ground, As a result of these improved conditions, and the re- housing of these people in better homes, the death rate from tuberculosis was reduced by more than one half. This is a record of actual fact, culled from an official government report. This bulletin is a reminder that it is worth while for local authorities to show concern over the kind of dwellings in which their people, and particularly those of the poorer classes arc housed. Often, ow- ing to unfortunate circumstances, people are com- pelled to seek whatever kind of shelter they can find at a small cost. That, however, should not be made any reason for allowing human beings to occupy buildings which are unsanitary," overcrowded, and affording far from an adequate amount of ventila- tion. The health authorities of any city should take it upon themselves as a duty to see that any unde- sirable housing conditions are cleaned up as quickly as possible, so as to remove from the community something which might. well be considered a menace to the public health, » A WEAK DEFENCE A week or so ago Chief of Police Newhall, of Peter- boro spoke his mind regarding the workings of the Ontario Parole Board. He criticized that body for allowing prisoners their freedom on parole without gonsulting those police authorities in a position to give helpful advice, and for neglecting to notify pol- ice chiefs when prisoners have been released on parole. The answer of Dr. A. E. Lavell, executive officer of the board, to that criticism, is far from convincing. He declared that the crticism was "due to total ignor- ance of the facts" and that it did not reflect the attitude of the police generally. The people of Ontario, however, through the wide publicity given to the release on parole of a man convicted of reckless driving, which nearly resulted in several deaths, before he had served one-third of his sentence, are not entirely in ignorance of the facts.' They are, knowing of these facts, wondering just what were the workings behind the decision of the board to let that particular man out of reform- atory on parole. And the board, in spite of criticisms, attacks and requests for information, has not yet seen fit to tell them why parole was allowed in that case. Failing an explanation, whiclr might have been forthcoming, would not the people of Ontario, be justified in taking this case as a fair example of the operations of the parole Board, and feeling just as Chief Newhall does on the question? THE BRITISH GESTURE 1f anything were requried to prove the sincerity of the British government in approaching the prob- lems of the naval conference, that has been pro- vided by the announcement that the construction of two new cruisers, work on which had already been started, has been abandoned, and that these will not be built. The government, of course, is serving a double purpose in this decision, It is saving the money of the people, and is at the same time leading the way in the limitation of that class of vessels which will probably be the centre of discussion be- fore the conference is over. This is not the first gesture of a practical nature which Britain has made as a contribution to the cauge of disarmament. The standards which were laid down by the Washington conference of 1922 are far ahead of the amotint of naval construction that Britain has carried out. While other nations have been talking disarmament, Britain has been practising it, and with this new gesture coming at so important a period, there is some hope that the other powers may be inclined to follow her example, EDITORIAL NOTES A Los Angeles judge has declared that a rich woman does not have to 'pay her husband's. debts.

Other countries have always levied heavy duties on our products, while we, with consummate folly, have ad- mitted their products free to our markets. No wonder that under such a system unemployment {ere is rife today. THE WICKED UNCLES (London Daily News) There is a certain nobility in the spectacle of those two great poli- tical thinkers and leaders of men. Lord Rothermere and Lord Beaver- brook, publicly imploring each other with every sign of affection- ate admiration to abandon instinc- tive modesties and come forwurd as the saviour of his country. On the whole, it is likely, we think, that these mutual persuasions will suc- ceed, and that the country will be blessed with two saviours instead of one; it will be their misfortune, and not their fault, if a coldly sceptical public prefer to regard them ag the wicked, uncles. . . . . For the present we have only two observations to make on these fas cinating proceedins of Great Bri- tain's two wicked uncles. The first is that, if by a miracle their avun- cular plot to save England were ever carried into effect, it would destroy this country utterly and for ever. The second is that, if they succeeded in folisting iL as a pro- gram upon the Conservative Party, half of which is mesmerized by th» prosvect and the other half scared to death, they would at least have the satisfaction of murdering wity their own hands the party which. at' the moment, they ohviou«ly de- gpised. it on! WHAT'S THE USE The prisoner truned a pleading face to the judge. "My lord," he asked, "have I got to be tried by a jury of women?" "Be quiet," whispered his coun- sel.

KEEPING IT DARK A young man went in "Where, and when?" asked the pastor. "Last night," sald the timid man, "I was passing by the church and up against the wall of it, did I, without the shadow of a doubt, behold a spectre." "In what shape did it appear?" inquired the pastor. "It appeared in the shape of a donkey," replied the man. "Go home and hold your tongue about it," rejoined the minister. "You are a very t'mid man and have been frightened by your own shadow." WHY WORRY?
