REPRESENTATIVES IN U.S. Powers and Stone Inc., New York and Chicago FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1930 WELCOMING A NEW INDUSTRY The citizens of Oshawa will join heartily with the directors of the Chamber of Com- merce in extending to the Skinner Company, Limited, a cordial welcome to Oshawa. Within a very short time the wheels of in- dustry will be turning in the splendid new plant which Has been erected on Simcoe Street South, making a welcome addition to the sources of employment in Oshawa. Today's function at the Genogsha Hotel, while it took the form of an official welcome, was more than that. pression of the feelings of all the people of Oshawa, who are more than delighted to have a firm of the standing and character of the Skinner Company establish a plant here. The sincere wish and desire of every citizen of this community is that the new company may find Oshawa a. congenial city in which to carry on its operations and that # may, in Oshawa achieve an even greater measure of success in the future than it has in the past. . The people of Oshawa, we feel sure, would wish the Skinner Company officials to know how welcome they are in this city, and The Times is glad of this opportunity to join in that welcome to a concern which, we all hope, will grow to bigger and better things in our midst. CONGRATULATIONS The neighboring community of Bowman- ville is to be congratulated on the official opening of the splendid $100,000 addition to its high school. Most communities in On- tario take great pride in their educational institutions, and the Bowmanville High School, as now constituted, is an educational plant which is a credit to the community and would, indeed, be a credit to any com- munity of much larger size. The education of the young people is one of the most important phases of modern public life. It places responsibilities on all citizens, not only on those who are chosen by the people to represent them on educa- tional bodies, but on every citizen who has a' real interest in the welfare of his own children, or the children of others. Modern educationists are becoming more and more convinced of the value of higher education as it can be given in the high schools and collegiate institutes, and it might well be said that Bowmanville, in enlarging its high school, and bringing it entirely up-to-date is merely looking ahead to the future, and making such provision for its children that they will have, at least, equal opportunities with those of any other community in the acquiring of a good education. . BRITAIN'S ATTITUDE TO CANADA It is well that it was possible for emphatic denials to be made of the statements that Canadian wheat was being subjected to a boycott campaign in. Great Britain. The story that cards were to be seen in store windows and on delivery trucks, bearing the announcement, "We do not use Canadian . flour" seemed impossible of understanding, and there was great relief in this country when it was officially contradicted. It "would be very unfortunate if anything, ae the attitude expressed in these stories ould arise in Great Britain at this time when all the efforts of Empire statesmen are being directed towards closer trade rela- tions within the Empire. Canada's greatest exports to Great Britain take the form of wheat, and wheat products, and any attitude * which would tend to shut the Canadian pro- duct out of the British market would be disastrous te the relations between this Do- minion and the mother country. While the first reports of a boycott have been denied, one must try to understand the viewpoint of the British public. In Canada It was an outward ex- there is a great wheat crop, held in storage for higher prices. Britain will eventually buy that crop, and will pay for it whatever price the Canadian Wheat Pool sets upon it. But the moment the high-priced wheat goes on the market, the people of Great Britain will have to pay higher prices for their flour and bread, the great necessities of life. They can hardly be blamed for feeling that they are being held up by the wheat pool, and that if they have to pay more for their bread, Canada will be to blame. . These people, of course, do not under- stand the Canadian viewpoint any more than the average Canadian understands theirs. They have no way of knowing what is a fair return to the farmer for his wheat crop, and so they acquire the idea that the Canadian farmers are being made wealthy at their expense. It would be a bad thing for relations between Canada and Britain should this idea become fixed in the British minds, because no one likes to feel that he is being held up by another taking advan- tage of his circumstances. THE MENACE OF CANNED HEAT The death of a Toronto man after an orgy of drinking that composition known as canned heat brings vividly to the forefront the dangers which lie in the unrestricted sale of this commodity. Canned heat has its uses, and is a valuable product when used for 'the proper purpose. But it was never intended to be taken as a beverage, as is done by many men nowadays, and when used in that manner it is highly dan- gerous. Those people who drink canned heat are of that type which needs to be protected against itself, and the only way in which this can be done is by placing restrictions on its sale. As the situation is now, a per- son can go into a drug store, and in some cases a grocery store, and buy canned heat without any restriction, no matter what the purpose of the purchase may be. This is exposing those foolish people who have a craving for alcoholi¢ stimulants to a menace of which they, apparently, have little knowl edge. The only way in which they can be protected would be by the enactment of leg- islation restricting the sale of canned heat in every way possible to prevent its use for beverage purposes. This is a serious question, for canned heat, when used as a beverage, comes into the clags of poisons, and for that reason it should, in the eyes of the law, be treated as such, and should be surrounded with the same safeguards as the sale of any other form of poison. INDUSTRIAL RESEARCH The wonderful progress which has been made in industrial research in Canada forms the interesting subject of a special section of the January issue of "Industrial Canada," a magazine published by the Canadian Ma- nufacturers Association. It is only in re- cent years that great stress has been placed on research work in industry, for the Na- tional Research Council of Canada is a pro- duct, of the war, and it is only since the end of the war that the provinces of Ontario, Alberta, Manitoba, British Columbia and Nova Scotia have taken it up seriously. The publication, however, shows that great progress has been made in the few short years of research work. It is filled with articles telling of the achievements of the research work with relation to chemical industries, manufacturing and agriculture, and some amazing things have been done. For instance, one article tells of a method being found of producing a valuable fertil- izer from the deposits from the sulphur di- oxide gas thrown up by the smelters at Trail, B. C. The value of this research effort is aptly described in a brief article by R. S. Par- sons, chairman of the British America Oil Co., Ltd., who says: ~ "No industry can progress without research. In this connection it is pleas- ing: to note that where one industry may find it burdensome to carry on work of that nature, it is now the prac- tice for a number of industries having |, problems in common to either estab- lish centralized research laboratories or to put their problems before some re- search institution already in existence. The value of this work is beyond com- prehension." The story of research work) as told in "Industrial Canada" is a fascinating story, and one which is worthy of careful reading and study by all who are interested in the development of any branch of industry. _ EDITORIAL NOTES There are many ways of saving money -- but they are not nearly as popular as spend- ing it. a Chicago business men think an institution like Scotland Yard 'would cure the crime wave.

WHERE, OH WHERE, IS THAT SECOND MILLION? (Toronto Telegram) According to the evidence so far Toronto's busless bus lines are al- 80 profitless bus lines. Of all these lines illegally acquired by Gray Coach Lines the Oshawa line is the only one that has a balance on the right side of the ledger. And only the spring will tell whether it can pull that small profit through this winter's snowdrifts, Under the circumstance the pub- lic are wondering what has becomy of all that "millions in buses" pro- paganda that Manager Harvey's journalistic friends . circulated at the time the busless bus lines were acquired.

If we should take faith out of a home or business, either or both would soon be wrecked.

Up to date we have seen no satisfactory explanation from the Attorney-General of On- tario nor from the Provincial Secre- tary, ot whom he 'passed the buck,' for the peculiar circumstances sur- rounding this case. It is, apparent that the Ontario Government does not think it 'worth whlie to justify itself in this connection.

CANADA'S BUTTER MARKET (Manitoba Free Press) Disappointment at the disap: pearance of our butter exports, as expressed by Mr. Bennett and oth- ers, is mistakenly based upon the assumption that this implies some contraction if our dairy industry. Our butter-makers sell thelr butter at home because first there is a market for it, and in the next place because they can get more | for it: at home than in the export {world markets, Our domestic price, variously attacked as too low, has been from two to fourteen | cents a pound over export prices | for years past. Canada butter. | makers must, however, accustom themselves to the fact that at pres< ent and for the future, so long as existing 'conditions continue, they could not if they would, sell their produet in the British market. If they cannot compete in their home market with the output of the New Zealand factories without a. pro- tective duty of four cents a pouna, which' ig the claim on their behalf made by their spokesmen before the tariff board, they must regard the British market, which last year absorbed 685,000,000 lbs. of im- ported butter, as closed to them; because there they will have to meet the New Zealand butter--tu say nothing of the Danish--with« ®ut any margin of advantage at all. | Bits of Humor | IT MIGHT HELP Customer (at riding academy)--I1 want a saddle horse.

IS YOUR GREATER FAITH IN PRAISE OR STOP AND THINK! That Body of : Pours By James W. Barton, M.D. THAT BODY OF YOURS By Jas. W. Barton, M.D. CUTTING DOWN ON INSULIN A physician treating a child for diabetes noted that the amount of sugar in the urine during the day was considerably less than that which was passed during the night. This was explained by 'the fact that the youngster was about dur: ing the day walking, and possibly playing some, Accordingly the physician began giving the child a certain amount of physical exercise every day, and found that even less sugar was found in the urine, as the sugar was used up by exercising and the child began to feel better. Con- tinuing the exercises the physician found that he could give the child an increased amount of starchy food, without having to inject in- sulin, Accordingly the physician has now laid out a system of treating diabetic children which is proving very successful, Insulin 1s given daily until the child gets strong enough to take exercise, Then exercise such 'as walking, climbing, running and gymnastics is given, and the amount of insulin gradually decreased. In the morning the patient re- ceives a large amount of starchy food and given as much exercise as possible. Insulin is not given be- fore. nor after this exercise. At noon he is given mostly fats (milk, cream and butter) and proteins (meats, eggs or cereals). In the afternoon a small amount of starchy food and a little insulin is given, and in the evening a large amount of starchy food and insulin, Now why do I talk about this? Not that I want to prove the value of insulin because insulin is saving thousands of young lives, and preserving older ones. It has brought happiness to homes where formerly there was only blank de- spair. But because it shows, in a dram- atic manner, that exercise will burn up the starches and prevent diabetes. This means that under ordinary circumstances the pancreas can supply the amount of insulin neces- sary to keep up the heat of your body and give you energy. However if you eat more than you nged, then your only safe plan is ol more excrcise, Also ex- ercieplaces fat with muscle, and you are just that much stronger ' physically, P STOLEN JEWELS ARE "RETURNED INTACT (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Vancouver, Feb, 14.--Jewelry valued at $7,600 stolen from: the office safe of W. 8S.

Some may rightly ask, Since when® were the laws of this country made to be n- terfered with at the pleasure of his Excellency the Governor-Genearl, or the Under-Secretary ofs State? Every onc is well aware, however, that tha Governor-General had nothing to do with the matter at all, nor had the Under-Secretary of State. The onus is plainly and undeniably on the Do- minion Cabinet; and in interfering in this' case they "have laid themselves open to very severé griticism. The fact that the boy is"the son of a Senator makes the matter just that much worse. The son of a Senator is entitled to exactly the same con- sideration as the son of the humblest laborer when he comes into a Can- adian court, and no more, Every case should be tried on its meri and its merits alone, and there shou! be no interference of any kind from the powers that be. "What we would like to emphasize is this: If sentences given to men convicted of being drunk while driv- ing automobiles on our highways are to be 'interfered with by parole boards, doctors, Under-Secretaries of State, or anybody else, on the au- thority of those higher up, the soon- er we throw our laws" and statutes regarding the penalties for these of- fenses into the discard the better it will be. At the" present time we are simply making a laughing stock of the administration of justice in this connection, and are bringing up our children to believe that those with sufficient ififluence can interfere with the sentences of the judiciary.
