Powers and Stone Inc., New York and Chicago WEDNESDAY, MARCH 12, 1930 GETTING NEARER The Oshawa board of education is nearer to the establishment of the Pefy Bank system in the schools of the city. At last night's meeting of the hoard, a commit~ tee was appointed to give special considera- tion to the scheme, with instructions to re- port 'back at the next meeting on April 10. Thus the scheme for thé practical teaching »f thrift which The Times has been advocat- mg for some time, may in the near future become a new feature of 'public school life n Oshawa. The Times is glad to note that J. C.'And- srson is one of the school trustees named to serve on the committee. Mr. Anderson has made considerable study of ihe system op- erated by the Penny Bank, and a month ago he spoke strongly in favor of: the plan being given a thorough trial here. It has been said, in the past, that the Penny. Bank could not be operated without * (nterfering with the school work to a large extent. This should not be so. When hun- ireds of schools in scores of other Ontario. towns and cities operate the Penny Bank, and seem to do it without disrupting the reg- ular class work to any appreciable extent, surely it can be done in Oshawa. In any event, it is worth a thorough trial. The inculeation in the minds of the children of the principles and habits of thrift, _ through systematic deposits of even the smallest" amounts of money, is" well worth while, and it may have the effect of teach- ing the parents, as well, the value of saving money when it is plentiful for use when times are not quite so good. THE MUSICAL FESTIVAL Ushawa is on the way to becoming a really musical city. The announcement that the board of education is to sponsor a musical festival, arranged by Louis Richer, director of music in the schools of the city, with 700 children taking part, shows that there is a definite trend in this direction, one that is worthy of the heartiest support of the citi- 'gens. The undertaking which the board is spon- soring, and which Mr. Richer is now arrang- ing, is an ambitious one. The choir of 700 voices, drawn from the pupils of the senior classes in the public schools will be the larg- est ever assembled and trained here, and un- der the expert guidance of Mr. Richer, these' - children will have every Opportunity to give . a good account of themselves. This should be an event of much intelli. Of course, the parents and friends of the part will have a well should take the opportunity of ment, to the project, Ww - ginning of 'a new By is = £713 ig i i "orate, So M at ne | wera for music in the city | "more effective in collec Labor party, and the alternative would have béen an appeal to the people, which nobody wants, The British government, however, is skat- ing on thin ice. Its margin of safety 1s too close for comfort, when there is so import- ant a gathering as the naval conference de- pendent on the British delegates for any agreement which may be reached. The re- signation of MacDonald would mean the breaking up of the conference, for the pre- sent at least, without anything being accom- plished, and the responsibility for this would be just a little too much for the opposition p to shoulder in an appeal to the elect- 5 cD l, in spite of his defeat in the house, will carry on but his power to put through legislation which his party is demanding is practically gone, and he can- , not hope to have the same strength nor pres- * tige as he did before last night's vote. THE PENSIONS COMMITTEE There are growing signs in Ottawa that an election is not far off. The atmosphere is seething with political expectancy. One can sense it fnethe lobbies of the Chateau Laurier, in the corridors of parliament build- ings, in government offices--everywhere and anywhere where those connected, direct- ly or indirectly 'with parliamentary affaifs" are to be found. : It is to be hoped that this expectancy of an election will not have a detrimental efféct on the parliamentary committee which has been appointed to investigate the problems of war veterans and their pensions. In 1928, when the last committee of this kind sat, there was no election in sight. The members of the committee of that year went at their tasks earnestly and sincerely. They even went so far as to be allowed to meet while the house was sitting, so that they could devote themselves unreservedly to their tasks. They worked hard, and the results were gratifying. Things will be a little different this yegr. An election is in the offing, and the mem- bers are going to use this session all they can to make an impression of their work at Ottawa on the people back home. The re- cords of Hansard will be filled to overflow- ing with the speeches delivered by members not for the benefit of their colleagues in the house, but for the particular consumption of their electorates. Unfortunately, the proceedings of the pen- sion committee will not be recorded in Han- sard, and the folks at home will learn little ..or nothing, either from Hansard or through the press, of the work the committee is « ing. So there is just a fear that the com- mittee members may, in their eagerness to build up their case in preparation for the election, be more than a little inclined to look lightly on their committee duties, and seek to attend to the possibilities of speaking in the house, rather than spend their time in the committee room. The men on the committee, of course, may take the problem seriously, and it is to be hoped that they will, because the problems with which they have to wrestle are too ser- ious to be. disposed of in a slipshod or half- hearted manner. . NOT POPULAR ADVICE A New York Magistrate the other day handed out some sage advice to a sixteen- year-old girl who appeared before him as one of a number arrested in a Communist demonstration. 'She admitted proudly 'that she. was guilty, but wilted somewhat when the magistrate, after suspending sentence, offered her the following bit of advice: "Stay home, mend your clothes and help your mother, and let older persons settle these political and. social prob- That advice would not"go down very well with the modern young ladies. These things might have been all right for an older and slower generation, but today -- why, they "are simply npt done, that's all. Yet it was good advice. It was needed advice. 'There would be a good deal less so- . cial unrest in the world, and a good deal less * sorrow, too, if there were more staying at | home, mending clothes and helping mother, instead of so much of the pursuit of fleet- "ing and doubtful pleasures. It is pot | that the young girl in the case would thank: the magistrate for his/advice, but in giving likely it he qualified for the role of a modern Solo- mor EDITORIAL NOTES 4 etme. ~ How are the mighty fallen.

(Copyright 1938) PART "5 By C. H! Tuck, Opt. D. (Copyright 1926) In studying the form of type best suited to the eyes we are led to other thoughts closely akin to this, in our observation of read- ing and writing, I have already said that it is important that the smaller children have. larger type of printing to those of more ma- ture years the reason for this being that the tissues of the young eyes are more readily molded and the less strain upon them makes them not so lable to having an error created through eariy straining in the effort to see. Relief of this strain is found in contrast in the. forming of the leters black on white being much easier than any other. This of course Will work against the. use of the slate, and Jn some cases it would be wise to do so, when we consider that the lettering on the slate to be fairly legible is general. ly placed closer to the eye than the lettering on paper black on white. Through the handwriting a cer tain fdea of the persons eye con- dition is known. You surely find that the one who writes with head on one side is troubled with Astig- matism, the posture of this per- son's body in writing is not gen- erally upright. The form of writing that is considered to do more to the making of a proper posture is found in the vertical writing which is really more on the square the paper being straight in front and the person sitting upright, " Bits of Verse | THE WIND IN THEZPINES A strong and fresh andXvigorous o* breeze SS Drives clouds across sky, Bit the wind sighs In the pine trees .

Read: Agsts 20: 32-35. MEDITATION To the jmmature this is nonsense. They have not yet discovered the mechanics of joy. We make much use of the phrase "getting a kick." out of life. Those who use a gun know that a "kick" is the rebound that comes from the release of pent up energy. "A kick out of life" comes as a part of a similar process. The child jumps up and down and laughs. The student bends to a pro- blem and finds. joy in it. The lowing heart pours itself out joyfully." No man is happy for log in merely receiving things, It is "tures pro- test that he is not the centre, Happy people are those who put the centre of life outside themselves, In spend- ing, not in getting, in realizing their noblest hidden energies, they find life's greatest and most enduring happiness, PRAYER O God, we pray Thee that we may exercise this day the noblest ¢apa- cities that Thou hast implanted with. in us. Give us wisdom and courage to put into daily practice our best thoughts and dispositions, and the things we most . sincerely believe. Amen. That Body of Bours By James We: Barton, M.D. BAD TEETH CAUSING RHEUMA.- TISM NOT A NEW DISCOVERY A patient was having so much trot- ble with his knee that he could hard- ly walk any digtance. "He was ad- vised by ihs physician to have an X- ray film made of his teeth, One of his front and one of his back grinding teeth showed trouble at the root. He was advised to 'have them both removed; Immediately after they were: ex-| { | | tracted both of his shoulders began 'to ache, lie lost his appetite, and his tongue became thickly coated. He | felt so miserable that he returned to his doctor and said "Well, you've | started something now; I feel awful." | The doctor leaned back in his chair | and said, "Don't think me hard heart- | ed, but I am greatly pleased to see | you in 'this condition, because it | shows that we are on the right track. | The tceth were in bad shape, as the | condition of the roots and the odor | therefrom showed. When they were extracted the tissue surrounding them was disturbed and a great deal of the poison got immediately into the blood, and that poison is what is affecting your shoulders, 'appetite and tongue. When that gets out of your system, as it will in the days, weeks, or | months to come, you will feel your | old self again." f The patient was advised to use purgatives and take plenty of exer- | cise, | As mentioned before, when bad] teeth are removed it is like closing | down a factory. No more goods | (poisotis) are manufactured, but there is considerable of the goods on | the shelves that takes some time to | be removed from the system--irom | the blood, the glands, intestines and | Ji =|} so forth. Now this. idea of bad teeth causing | rheumatism and other pains only | seems to date back twenty years, and | yet Dr. Benjamin Rush, over one | undred years ago reported a case of | "rheumatism" of the hip joint follow- | ing the extraction of infected teeth. | His statement that decayed teeth are | often the unsuspected cause of disease | fell on deaf ears, Dr. Geo. S, Young tells us that the | following ailments have been definite | ly traced to infected teeth; inflamma- tion of the jon, nerves, lining of the heart, o kidneys, and eyes; anaemia, disturbances of the stomach, nervous exhaustion or chronic fa- ue. And there are other ailments that likely owe their existence to bad teeth. Don't take a chance, The X-ray tells the story. Get rid of your bad teeth before trouble starts.
