Tresidder, representative, REPRESENTATIVES IN US, Powers and Stone Inc., New York and Chicago 7 'SATURDAY, MARCH 15, 1930 OSHAWA. WILL BENEFIT . There is every reason to believe that Osh- awa will benefit substantially from the legislation which has been introduced in the Ontario Legislature providing for the return to the municipalities of the Central Ontario Power System of the assets and reserves which have been accumulated by that sys. tem since it passed into the hands of the Hydro-Electric Power Commission in 1916. This legislation, it should be pointed out, im- * plements 'an undertaking given by the Hon. J. R. Cooke, provincial minister in charge of hydro, during the campaign which was car- ried on in Belleville last summer for the purchase by that city of its electrical dis- tribution plant and system. It also puts in- to effect 'one of the matters which was a bone of contention during the campaign prior to the vote of the ratepayers of Osh- awa on a similar bylaw. As yet, it is not possible to'state with any . degree of certainty just how great the bene- fit will be to Oshawa, since the detailed fig- ures for the various municipalities have not been announced. But it is girite safe to say that it will be substantial. Oshawa is the t distributing centre of power in the whole district, and for some years past has been piling up large surpluses which have been in the reserve funds of the sys- tem. In all, it is stated, there is a sum of two and a half million dollars involved, of which about $1,700,000 is in actual liquid assets. It is proposed to turn these over to the municipalities which have acquired theid plants. If this is disbursed in propor- to the reserve created by each umit in the system then Oshawa should fare well indeed. There is, of course, absolute § in tie proposal. When Oshawa bought out .the hydro system, it paid.the actual cost, plus - the cost of the additions gud investments in the system since 1916. If is only fair, then, . that the city should also benefit from the reserves created by the city's electrical dis- tribution plant in that same: peri a AES SB comes ect, it wi pos- | utilities commission to de- cide what use to make of these reserves and assets which are to be returned, . If it is pos- sible, however, they should certainly be used to effect a reduction in the eleétrical rates for Oshawa. The people have expect- ing substantial reductions in rates since the system was taken over by the city. There has already been one reduction, but the rates, even yet, gre too high, and could very well stand another substantial cut. %% is to be hoped that the bill which has been intro- 'will bear out the expectations of the people, and will permit that reduction in the very near future. ; 'x A «| 'bone ILL-ADVISED SILENCE The feelings which existed that political reasons actuated the minister of justice in allowing Arthur Donnelly, of Walkerton, son of tor Donnelly, his freedom after serve ing only half of a sentence imposed on him for driving a car while intoxicated, has been intensified by the action of the minister in refusing to give information to the House of Commons on this matter. It was brought before the House of Commons by Miss Ag- nes MacPhail, who asked for the tabling of correspondence dealing with the exercise of clemeney in this case. The reply of the minister of justice was lamentably weak, It was a plain refusal to give the information sought, on the grGiind that it had not béen customary to make pub- lic papers where Slematicy had been exercis- ed, and he quoted some precedents for this decision, That may be a good policy to adopt in cases of the granting of clemency of coh. demned murderers, but in a case of this kind the silence was ill-advised. The general impression is that Donnelly was given his freedom because he was the son of a senator, There may have been other reasons, of course, but the silence of the minister of justice creates the feeling that there is something to hide, a feeling which would have been much better dispell- ed by a frank statement as to what led to the exercise of clemency in this instance. . ~ AN WNTERESTING VISIT The party of headmasters from the Brit- ish schools should be welcomed when it vis- its Canada during the summer of this year. These headmasters are rather important people, for they are the heads of important English schools, such as Harrow, Charter: house and Marlborough, which are famous all over the British Empire. These headmasters should have an inter- esting visit to this country. They will find things much different from what they are at home, especially in the field of education. They may learn much, and, on the other hand, they will probably have much that is of value to impart to the educationists with whom they come in contact in this country. Probably they will be quite willing to give many ideas to this country, just as they may acquire some new thoughts that will be of benefit to them, The chief value of their visit, however, should lie in the knowledge they acquire of Canadian life, customs and conditions. There is in Britain much ignorance in these mat~ ters, and there can be no better place to ap- ply actual knowledge than in the schools over which these men preside. Canada will not be fully umderstood in the 'old land until the ignorance and the misconceptions are cleared away, and a wonderful opportunity will be afforded, through the visit of this party, to plant the seeds of knowledge so that they will produce a rich harvest. FORTY YEARS OF DEVELOPMENT 'estern Canada has seen great changes in last forty years. Forty years ago, 'Winnipeg was but a small town, growing up on the prairies. Today it is a large and prosperous city, the metropolis of the middle western ns of Canada, a city that has grown up with the development of the west. In these forty years there have been many changes, but through them all, the Winni- peg Tribune has been a substantial factor in the development of the city. The Tribune recently celebrated its fortieth anniversary. In the older sections of Canada this might be considered a long span-of life for a news. * | **fyice paper, but in that new western country itis a remarkable achievement, and the Tribune is to be congratulated, not only on attaining its fortieth birthday as a newspaper, but.al- so on the splendid anniversary edition of 64 pages which it produced in honor of the occasion. This edition, showing the expan- sion of Winnipeg in the last forty years in a graphic way, is an indication of the pro- gressiveness of both the community and the newspaper... The Tribune is to be compli- mented on the community which it serves, and Winnipeg is to be complimented on hav: ing a newspaper which, on its fortiéth birth- day, can rise so nobly to the occasion, _ ~~ EDITORIAL NOTES MacDonald's fom is still flying at the peak of the ship of state in Britain, and it was : Sot h 80 much danger of being lowered aft- Those people who convince others of how much sense they ve usually do not have very much. ; : pL BA Ra A] A Some weeks ago we were saying the back- of winter was broken: - Yet it seems to have made a remarkable recovery.

Barton, M.D. THE LIVER oAN INCREASE IN E Perhaps you have had the idea that the liver was just a large soft organ that' simply filtered out the starchy rticles from the blood coming rom the small intestine, and storing them away in the form of sugar for future use. And the liver is so big out difficulty, However sour research men have beet sfinding that. this large organ can increase or decrease in size when the need arises, ! For instance any exciting emotion such as suddep noise decreases the size of the liver, whereas injecting sugar solutions into the veins causes an increase in its size, Vi It was found that vomiting also increases its, size. ' Now when, you remember the tre. mendous size of the liver, the larg- est and heaviest organ, and that it holds one quarter of all the blood of the body, then you can see the im- portance of its ability to increase or decrease in size when necessary, Thus if the liver decreases in size it means more blood available for the rest. of the body, and when it in- creases in 'size there will be that much less, And the volume of blood coursing through the vessels of the body in- fluences the entire system<mental and physical -- in that the blood is where it is needed most at any one time, Notwithstanding the ability of the liver to increase or decrease in size if*the need arises, if you wear tight clothing, or sit or stand in ¢ cramps ed or stooped position, you can in- terfere to some extent with the in- creasing or decreasing ability of the liver. By standing or sitting erect, and taking long or deep breaths you will squeeze and relax the liver and thus help the blood to flow through it more rapidly, It is the slowness of the flow of the blood through the liver that causes congestion there with nausea, vomiting, and jaundice, and the for- mation of stones in the gall bladder adjoining the liver, . So although the liver does a lot ER SER VALUE that it has been able to do this with. | Jf f things including this increas nd decreasing in sizg, you can help it. by giving it more room ol stand ing and sitting erect, Standing with head up, chin. drawn in, chest out, abdomen drawn in, Sitting with back supported, and fect placed firm- ly on the: floor, | (Reglitered in accordance with the. / Copyright Act.) | ; Daily | Lenten Devotion ped by Rev rT Slockin g22 Cammission on Evang | ol of Federal SY " Topic for the Week "COMING TO TERMS WITH OURSELYV ES" "Our Unpublished Selves" SCRIPTURE Memory Verse: "Man Togheth on the outward appearance, but God looketh on the heart" (I.
