REPRESENTATIVES IN U.S. Powers and Stone Inc., New York and Chicago THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1930 WORTHY OF SUPPORT The city of Oshawa is well served by its service clubs, and the citizens ought to feel a pride in assisting them in their efforts to raise the funds with which they carry on their community activities. An opportunity to give assistance to the Kiwanis Club, one of the three active and progressive service elubs of the city is being provided on Thurs- day, February 27, when a monster carnival is being held in the Oshawa Arena. Apart altogether from the fact that the entertainment provided will be worth while, those citizens who join in the carnival will have the great satisfaction in knowing that they are giving support to a program of community work that is worthy of being supported. The Kiwanis Club, in its efforts on behalf of under-privileged children, is earrying on a piece of service of a special- ized and much-needed kind, and in their big appeal for support in the raising of money for this work, it should find all classes of citizens whole-heartedly behind the effori. THE CANADIAN GEOGRAPHIC SOCIETY Oshawa is not alone in showing keen in- terest in the development of the Canadian Geographic Society, as was mentioned in the columns of The Times yesterday. ' The Can- adian Geographic Society is a new venture for this country, but societies of a similar nature have been flourishing in England, Scotland and the United States for long per- fods of years, and have been doing a splen- did work in widening the knowledge of their subscribers as to the wonders of the world. There is, in Canada, a large field for work of this nature, since there is so much within the Dominion regarding which many people know very little. Canada offers a magnifi- cent field for geographical and historical re- gearch work, and the chief aim of the so- ciety is to make Canada better known to Canadians and to the rest of the world, surely an effort that has much to commend it, Canadians, to the number of thousands, have shown an interest in becoming sub- seribers to the National Geographical So- ciety of the United States. In this move- ment, they are given an opportunity of fos- tering a body which is similar in purpose, but entirely Canadian in conception and plan, a body in which any thinking Canadian might with pride take a part. NEWS FROM CHINA Dr. Teyhi Hsieh, the well-known Chinese statesman, while in Oshawa the other day had some interesting things to say regarding the ideas which people in Canada have re- garding his own country. He was particu- larly critical regarding the type of news which is sent out of Canada by the repre- sentatives of, newspapers on this continent, and claimed that it gave the people of the outside world an entirely wrong impression of China. * According to Dr. Hsieh, who is in constant touch with commercial and industrial in- terests in his own country, China is making 'remarkable progress towards western Civil- ization. Her chambers of commence and her trade interests are just as highly devel- ped as those of any western nation, and, 'for the greater part, her people are well-be- sved and industrious. x "One would never think so by the smatter- ing of Chinese news which reaches'this coun- try. One scarcely reads despatches from China unless they, have something to do with banditry, mutiny or civil war. These give he impression that that is the normal con- n of the country, which; according to Dr. Hsieh, is farfrom being ther case. "The remedy for this, of course, lies in the hands of those who control news sources in China. The Hewspapers here accept what comes over the cables and wires, and pub- {ish it, and it is unfortunate that the bright- er side of Chinese life and progress is ravely touched upon. The time may come, per- haps, when' the press-gathering: associations of this country will have more direct re- presentation in China, so that the real life "saved from failure. = of the people may be reflected in the news from the Orient. ' VETERANS ARE HOPEFUL The war veterans of Canada, and particu- larly those who are suffering from war dis- abilities, are looking forward with much hope to the session of parliament which opens today. Their hopes have been aroused by a series of events which have given them reason to believe that there are to be such amendments to the pension act, and to other legislation affecting their interests, as will enable many of them to secure assistance which has so far been denied them. With the pledge of the government and of the premier that these amendments are to be made, and with the knowledge that the Canadian Legion, which has been fighting their battles for the last few years, is ready with a legislative program which is believed to meet thé needs of practically all types of cases, the suffering war veterans and their dependents have every reason to be hopeful. One could quote scores of types of cases which are looking forward to this session, believing that it will, at last, bring them the justice to which they are entitled, but from which they have been debarred by reason of flaws in the statutes. It is fortunate that there is no tendency to make the question of treatment of war veterans a political question. Both parties in" the House of Commons are agreed that something has to be done, and there is every likelihood that most of the criticism, if any, from the opposition, will be on the ground that the government is not prepared to go far enough in providing relief for pro- blem cases. One thing is certain, and that is that the war veterans at last have the people of Can- ada behind them in the presentation of their claims, and parliament need have no doubt as to the sympathy of the public being strongly in favor of the ex-service men of the country. POLITICAL COURAGE Premier Ramsay MacDonald is to be com- mended for his polifical courage. In break- ing off relationshipk with the Independent Labor Party he took his political life in his hands. The head of a minority government he remains in power by virtueyof the sup- port of opposition parties, and the defection of a section of his own party is a serious matter for the premier. Yet he ran the risk of losing that section's support by resigning from the I.L.P. and practically reading its representatives out of his political group. Yet Mr. MacDonald strepgthened his own hand by his repudiation of the left wing of his party. The LL.P. representatives have | always been extreme in their radicalism, far | more extreme than the average Labor M.P., | and they have on many occasions strongly opposed the Labor governmgnt before its legislation was not sufficiently radical in its nature. Yet, by erring opAhe side of mod- eration, MacDonald h&& been able to retain sufficient support from the opposition to keep him in power. So, while he may have lost a handful of supporters; his action in cutting himself adrift from the extremist elements of his party may, in the long run, make his position as head of the government even more secure than it is today. lt THINKING IT OVER It is just as well that the naval confer- ence has adjourned for a week. With con- ditions in France all tangled up, it could not do otherwise, since the conference without French representation would be powerless. But there is another reason why it was wise for the delegates to adjourn the confer- ence for a week. The adjournment will give the nations ample time to think things over, and a whole lot of thinking will be needed to bring about the agreement for which the people of the five interested nations are hoping. As matters stood up to Wednesday, things were in a rather desperate condition. France had %hrown a bombshell into the ranks of the delegates by the demands for a big navy, and the other nations had not recovered from the shock. They now have a week to recover, and France has a week in which she can not only put her own house in order, but can decide whether she is prepared to bear the responsibility for wrecking the con- ference to which she came with professions of willingness to co-operate in the reduction and limitation of armaments. Yes, there will have to be a good deal of thinking before next Wednesday if the conference is to be . EDITORIAL NOTES A cynic is a man who believes In love, but ldavishes it all on himself. The Ontario legislature is expected to have a short session, but indications are that it is going to be a merry one. It is predicted that there will be a general election in Quebec in June. If there is, then one can be sure there will be no federal elec- tion until some time after it is over. Members of the Ontario cabinet have been making "slashing attacks" on the opposition. If they could apply the same treatment to taxation, it would be appreciated a little «Other Editor's Comments HUMANIZING WAR (Toronto Globe) Rules for humanizing war are about as sensible as rules for the guidance of murderers.

Flying in a rage poisons, the. brain, strains the heart, un- strings nerves. A bad temper and good health cannot permanently go hand in hand. In the days of one-man organiza- tions violent tempers were more common than they are today. In the modern organization the fiery-temp- ered individual is out of place, Har- mony oils the machinery of business: discord casts sand into the gearbox. Temper kills teamwork. Therefore," for the sake of your own health and for the sake of the health of your business, don't let your temper get out of control. An uncontrolled temper is as destructive as an uncontrolled engine, PITY YE POOR EDITOR (Exchange) It is alleged a school boy in Kan- sas wrote the tollowing, entitled "An Editor" "l don't know how newspapers got into the world, and 1 don't think God knows, far he ain't got nothing to say about those in the Bible, | think an editor is the missing link we read of, and that he stayed in the business until after the flood, came out and wrote the thing up, and has been kept busy ever since. "If an editor makes a . mistake, iblks say he ought to be hung; but {if the doctor makes mistakes, he bur- ries them and people don't say no- thing because they can't read Latin. When an cditor makes mistakes, there is a big lawsuit and swearing | and a big fuss; but if the doctor makes one, there is a funeral with flowers and perfect silence. A doctor can use a word a yard long without him or anyone else knowing what it means, but if the editor uses one, he has to spell it. The doctor goes to see another man's wire, he char- ges for the visit, but if the editor goes he gets a charge of buckshot. Any college can make doctors to or- der, but editors has to be born."-- Flint Hills Craftsman, | Bits of Humor IT MIGHT HELP Customer (at riding academy) -- want a saddle horse.

Many new streets were laid out and numerous splendid buildings arose from the ashes of the former business estab- lishments, public offices, private resi- dences, schools and churches. The western section of the city, however, was not destroyed, and in the emer- gency that existed, reconstruction was permitted without due consider- ation for the future. About three years ago, through the initiative of certain: private citizens, the services of A, G. Dalzell, a town planning engineer of Toronto, were secured to study the questions of a new layout of the streets, housing, and the further extensions of the sewerage system. Working upon the proposals submitted, a citizens' com- mittee, known as the Town Planning Commission, for the past two years has been engaged upon an investiga- tion of conditions, and the result of their voluntary labour is contained in a report that has been submitted to the Municipal Council, One section of the report decals with the housing question, and con- tains suggestions for erection of dwellings suitable for citizens ac- cording to their respective circum- stances by a Building Society, or through the co-operation of the vari- ous employers of labor. Suitable residentail sites have been selected and the means of securing adequate water supplies have been explored. Plans have been drawn for an ex- tensive layout of new streets and for the straightening and extending of those that already exist. Provision is such as counting sheep, As these methods have not always been successful physicians have | found it necessary to use slcep pro-| ducing drugs, which over a short period may help the patient to re- lax, It is better to be able to keep at onc's work than to try to get} along without sleep. { However, what may prove to be ¢ il help to sufferers front sleeplessness | has been brought forward by Dr IL | Rosett, New York, who describes an! apparatus the action of which con- | sists of a wave of encircling press- ure applied to the surface of the body and the limbs, in the direction of the venous flow, that is the flow of blood to the heart. "a The most striking effect, and it oc- curs almost always, is relaxation of the muscles, and in most persons, sleep. This is thought to be due to the waves stopping the action of the muscles and! blood vessels tensed. Dy removing | this tenseness, muscles relax and| blood in the veins flows more rap-! idly towards the heart, , | Individuals on which. the effect of this apparatus has been noted appear | to contract the habit of relaxing) themselves, They rest better at| night and go about their business or | pleasure, as the case might be, inal more deliberate and systematic man- ner ' ' Whether it is the "calmness" of mind. or because the action of the| apparatus drives the bload from the | surface of the body onward toward the heart, the general nutrition of the body in these individuals is much improved. ' ' Now it may be some time before you will have some similar machine of convenient size to take the ten- sion off the nerves and. muscles, but the well ventilated room, the com- fortable mattress. the monotonous thoughts and so forth are meant to relax the mind and body in a similar manner, ' They are just as elective, less ex- pensive, and much to be preferred to drugs. - » by C.H (Copyright 1928) Worry Part "1" By C.

The Town Planning Commission is only an advisory body and has no authority to do more than make the recommendations to the Municip: Council, In December last, a new Council was clected. With the excep- tion of one member, its personnel is composed of a Mayor and, Council- lors holding offices for the first time. They were returned on a policy of civic reform, which included the imprévement and extension of the lighting and Street car services. Upon the latter depends in a great measure the relieving of the conges- tion that cxists in certain sections. In the nearby suburbs are many lo- calities admriably suited for build- ing sites.

In fact, | in recent years even without these | facilities the movement of ctiizens | has been considerable. St. John's is built on the slope of a hill that overlooks the harbor. Fac- ing it, are the Southside Hills. The Narrows which forms the entrance to the port washes a precipitous bluff | known as Signal Hill. Formerly the| residential section was confined for | the most part to the land fringing | the harbor front. Through this sec- tion for the whole of its length ex- tends Water street, now almost cn- tirely given over to business premises. At a higher level and parallel to it is Duckworth street which is also be- ing absorbed into the business scc- tion. In course of time the residential quarter has pushed further and fur- ther up and over the hill on the northern side of the harbor and west- ward towards the Waterford Bridge Valley, the Freshwater Valley, and the uplands that lie between them. This tendency to spread - outward from the city proper and the steady influx of new citizens from outlying settlements has made the matter of 'extending the street system, and ct providing the new residential quart- ers with proper sanitary, light, and travelling facilities Ging ther, it offers the most ctive means of eliminating the slums.
