New York and Chicago TUESDAY, JULY 8, 1980 ANONYMOUS LETTERS In a recent mail The Times received two + excellent letters from readers on topics of public interest, but unfortuna®ely in neith- er case did the writer send nis name and address as an evidence of good faith. There- . fore the letters cannot be published. The Times realizes that frequently readers - of the paper desire to express their views on topics of general interest, but for obvious reasons do not wish to have their names.and addresses published. This is quite alright providing personalities are not indulged in, but in every case the name and address should be given this newspaper as an evi- dence of good faith, If the writers of the two letters referred to desire to disclose their identity to the edi- tor they may do so and their letters will be published, but it is unfair to expect a news- paper to take responsibility for anonymous letters unless the newspaper has in its files for confidential reference the names and ad- dresses of the writers. IT MUST BE ALL RIGHT It is rather puzzling to read of the at- titude of various high personages in Britain Japan and the United States towards the three-power naval agreement signed by their representatives at the recent naval confer- ence. The naval experts in all three coun- tries, it would seem, are very much dissatis- fied with it. For instance, naval men in Japan claim that the treaty has left that country defence- less in case of an attack from the United States, and one naval officer felt so keenly about it that he committed suicide as a pro- test against this sacrifice of national safety. In Britain, navy leaders claim that the treaty so weakens Britain's naval position that the navy would have no chance at all against the United States navy. In the United States, there is a strong body of opposition to the treaty on the ground that it makes the navy of that coun- try permanently inferior to that of Great Britain. Judging from these protests,' we would suggest that the treaty must be a very sat- isfactory one from the standpoint of limi- tation of armaments. The fact that the big navy men in all three countries are not pleased with it shows remarkable unanimity on the point that it will really limit naval strengths, and that, after all, was what the conference was intended to do.

Cyclists, will always be in danger at night until the law requires that they carry both front and rear lights, Under the Highway Traffic Act, at present, it is compulsory for a cyclist to carry a rear light or red reflect- or, but there is not strict regulation regard- ing a front light.

Barton, M.D. + BALT HTAIM LLDETAQIN the Copyright Act) HWAILTH AT MIDDLE AGE You are reading almost daily about the way some families, some communities, some nations, seem -to resist various ailments, There is no question but that some families have more cases of tuberculosis than do others; some have more cases of heart disease; others have more cases of apo- plexy and so forth, Then there wil be other fam- illes who have fewer cases of any one of theso ailments, than the average for the community or na- tion. Some families will show a number of members, generatioh after genoration, who have at- tained the age of 856 to 95 years of age. The explanation given is that some families have passed thronuen all these different types of alil- ments, and the ones who did not dle established a resistance toward them that has been passed down to their succeeding generations, Measles on an island that has never known measles causes iu tremendous number of deaths, but where measles has existed for cen- turies, the death rate is low. And so as you approach the middle age period. you may be wondering what is lkely to bo your Jot in life trom the heaith standpoint. Now the above facts cannot be thrown aside because heredity Is a big factor in all life, but after all, it is only one factor. Another factor oqualily important is your circumstances, your surroundings, and your knowledge that was un- known to generations that have passed on, You will remember the man of 72 who was asked why he was Lhe only member of his family that had attained such an age, all the others had died before 50 years of age of apoplexy, heart and kid- ney' ailments, "is reply was, "Well, you ki always ha poor appetite." Almost 4 out of every 10 chil. dron formerly died at birth or be- fore they reached the age of 12 months, and now only I in 10 dies because of care given them---they are certainly no stronger than the babies of previous years, Similarly with you, if you &p- proach middle age using care nut to eat too much, care to sleep enough and care to get outdoors as much as possible, with a little prolongod just as have the lives light exercise, your life can be of the children, despite any hered- itary or 'grem plasm' tendencies in your family, The very fact that 'tendencies' should really help to you in retaining health, there are be of good What Others Say ; : JUVENILE VANDALISM Oshawa, Ont, July 8, 1930, The Editor, Oshawa Daily Times, Oshawa Ont, Dear Sir; Juvenile Vandalism is « harsn word, Yet as a fairly careful ob: server 1 am impressed by the fact that our Town fis so full of it that I want to take this epportun- ity of protesting against it. Nor would it be so bad if the Vandale were all juvenilés. Perhaps we might consider, though he will not, that the boy of ten, twelve or fourteen is not responsible for hie action, That he is moré to be pit: fed than punished, But what of the adult or near adult or senior boy. Of these there are far too many. These people continually make themselves public nuisances, Mem: orial Park is a fing monument to any city, Its terraces and its ar tistic paths were a credit to the landscape architect who laid ft out, but look at it mow. Bushes uprooted, sod dug, paths in var- fous directions worn . hither . and thither across it. It is not the lack of caretaking, it is the lack of common sensy and human interest of those who have dene this work, Or consider the conditions In and about the -Qshawa Collegiate, Within twonty-four hours after fresh sod had been put down, just prior to the opening, this year, some vandal backed a truck up over the fresh sod; and in the same institution it appears that nothing but a fence will prevent bicycles from being ridden across the newly laid out shrubbery beds. My special complaint is on be. halt of myself and other owners of fruit troes which are bécoming fruitful at the present time, I myself am unfortunate enough to own a cherry tree, Only once within the last six years have 1 got any good cherries oft it in spite of the fact that it bears good cherries every year, Some years to save the tree I have had them picked when they are too green to be of any real use. Saving the tree is the big point to many per- sons who have fruit trees in their yard. It is not enough that those vandals should - steal fruit--be- cause it is stealing. As one youth of about twenty remarked, whila | pitting on the femce in the park, over the holiday, "Come on over Fred, there are gherries on the tree and the folkd are. all away." And so a dozen Freds climb iu- to what may be 'a valuable treo either from the standpoint of fruit and shade or natural dec- oration. - Climbing and ruthless, they mot only pick h turfet;thylev they not only pick the fruit; they destroy something which is inf nitely more «difficult to replace; tearing down the limbs and des troying the grace, beauty and symmetry of a tree, so that ipop the owner's return, be his absencs only an hour or so, he is greeted with the sight not only of missing fruit but of destruction, and Is left to gather up and carry away d mass of broken limbs and wood and withered foliage, For myself 1 dislike the action but I believe the citizens of Osh- awa generally®both for their own interest and that of the public would do well to taka steps to have these vandals brought before the Magistrate and given them some lesson in what is meet and right to do with public property and that of other persons. For myself 1 intend to take such ac- tion in the future and hope that thig action may be a concerted one to be aleo taken by others who are similarly affected, There is probably no way so effectual to bring this lésson home as by mak- ing some of these people. public examples. Yours truly Allan F. Annis, CANDIDATED ARE ALLNOMINATER IN ONTARIO RIDINGS 81 Liberals and 82 Conserv- atives in Field--Five Thre. Cornered Contests Toronto, July 8.---~All party uom- ination for Ontario's 82 constitu- encies, in the forthcoming Domin- fon election, was complete last night. At the present time 80 (official) Liberal; one (unofficial) Liberal; 82 (ofMcial) Conservative; four (unofficial) Conservative; one). F.- 0.; one Progressive, and two Com- munist candidates are in the run- ning for these seats. Some changes in the line-up may have heen made by the time official nomination day-July 21---rolls around, but these, it is likely, will not be mat- terial ones. With the election campaign still three weeks from its finish, much headway has apparently been made by rival factions In disposing of the early-threatening and always pressing '"'thrée-cornered fight" problem. Only five ridings remain --far as newp despalches Indicate ~in which this "three-cornered' dificulty /persists. They are Carle- ton, where an Independent Tory threatens to 'gum the works" of the official machine; Lambton East, where an independent Liberal re- fuses to let the Progressive and the Conservative battle it out together; Fort William and Nipissing, in which ridings the flag of Com- munism has been unfurled against the banners of the old parties; and Lanark, in which the battle, at the present time, would appear to be a four-sided affair rather than the troublesome three, with two un- ofMecially named Tories contesting the constituency with a 'regular' Conservative and the Liberal nom- inee, Right now, four women have their millinery in the ring. Agnes Macphall has been given clear sailing by the Liberals in her old riding of Southeast Grey, and now has only a Conservative to beat. Mrs, F, 8. Greenwood is opposing Hon.
