REPRESENTATIVES IN U.S. Powers and Stone Inc., New York and Chicago TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23rd, 1930 HIGHWAY COSTS TO THE CITIES Mayor Robson, of Guelph, is heading up a great effort to make the provincial gov- ernment see more clearly than it has done in the past the injustice that is being visited on the urban municipalities of Ontario in the distribution of provincial highway costs. He is organizing a large deputation of muni- cipal representatives to wait upon the gov- ernment to ask for relief from the burdems which are imposed on the cities of the prov- ince in paying a share of the cost of sub- urban highways and highway connecting links running through the municipalities. The Times has frequently, in no uncertain terms, expressed its convictions that the present system of highway finagcing is all wrong, and it is absolutely unfair to the ur- ban municipalities. The situation, in brief, is this. The government, in its dealings with the rural municipalities, recognizes that it has a responsibility to pay 80 per cent. of highway costs, on the basis that 80 per cent. of the traffic is through traffic, created by the highways, and 20 per cent. is local traffic. That is a fair method of dealing with the matter, so fair, indeed, that there is no sound reason why it should not also be applied to the urban municipal- ities. The urban municipalities, however, have to pay the entire cost of that mileage of the provincial highway system which lies with- in their borders. Yet, these streets, built and maintained by the municipalities, have to bear all the through traffic which is cre- ated by the provincial highways, including heavy truck and bus traffic, which increases tremendously the wear and tear on the city streets, and increases the cost of their build- ing and maintainence, because of the high- er standard which is necessary. But in ad- dition the cities have to pay twenty per cent. of the highway costs in the suburban area adjacent to the cities, sometimes for many miles outside the city limits. The whole system is an unfair, one-sided arrangement, against which the urban municipalities have every right to make a strong protest. In the past, deputations have gone to the government on the matter, but with no effect. This time, however, the mayor of Guelph is going after the thing in a systematic way, is organizing a powerful, and influential deputation of municipal 'rep- resentatives, and he is hopeful that the weight of argument will be sufficient to in- duce the government to see eye to eye with the municipalities. There is .a further encouraging sign. Newspapers all over the country are seized with the justice of the cause of the urban municipalities, and are putting forward their voices in strong support of the Guelph mayor's proposal. In this, the press is ex- pressing the voice of public opinion and when that voice speaks unanimously, then no government can withstand it. The city of Oshawa is vitally interested in this question." Like other cities in the province, it has had to pay out tens of thousands of dollars in maintaining the local connecting link on No. 2 Highway, and in paying its share of suburban area costs. The city council of Oshawa should be lined up solidly behind Mayor Robson, of Guelph in his effort, giving him every support, and taking a place in the movement befitting a 'city of the size and importance of Oshawa. ON PROVIDING WORK A striking illustration of how work can be found for unemployed men, and how ad- vertising can help in the search, has been provided by the St. Catharines Standard. A few days ago, a master painter of St. Cath- arines published a striking advertisement in that newspaper, with the following words in large type: "Paint Your House Now! Don't Wait! Give the Painter a Chance." It was a striking appeal, and it brought results At the time he inserted the advertisement, he had only one painter working for him. Within a week, as a result of his advertise- ment, he found it necessary to employ eleven men to do the work which. poured in to him. This incident proves several things. It proves that there are people who have work which ought to be done, but that they have _ bzen hanging back. It proves that the right Lind of appeal will induce these people to loosen up their purse strings, and have the work done. And it proves conclusively that the right kind of advertising in daily news- papers does bring results. The St. Catharines master painter, and the people who responded to his advertise- ment, have set a splendid example to the rest of the country. They have shown how the unemployment problem can be solved, at least in part. They have shown that in every city there is a great deal of cleaning up, painting up, and other work which ought to be done now. This applies not only to painting, for the moral can be pointed in other directions as well, It would indeed be interesting for some one in Oshawa to try the same experiment and see how it works. A BRIEF BUT BUSY SESSION The special session of parliament is over, the members are on their way back to their homes, and Premier Bennett is on his way to the Imperial conference. If it is true that the people like men of action, then there can be few men in Canada more pop- ular today than the prime minister, for he has given them action. In less than two months from the date of election, he has organized a new government, had his min- isters re-elected, held a special session, vot- ed $20,000,000 for unemployment relief works, made the anti-dumping duties effec- tive, and has turned the tariff of Canada up- side down. Never before has Canada seen such rapid-fire action, the only possible thing to compare with it being the effort by which the late Sir Sam Hughes assembled and sent overseas in 1914 the first Canadian contin- gent. Three outstanding pieces of legislation have come out of the special session -- the bill providing for the expenditure of $20,- 000,000 for unemployment relief; the meas- ure providing for the anti-dumping duties with teeth in them and the measure mak- ing substantial changes in Canada's tariff schedules. Each of these measures was framed with a definite purpose in view, namely, to do something to overcome the depression and wave of unemployment from which. Canada has been suffering. Natural- ly, there are differences of opinion as to the effectiveness of these measures. The first, providing for a sum of $20,000,000 being set aside for use to help the provinces and mun- icipalities to undertake relief work, obvious- ly will help to provide work. Whether the other two measures will be equally effective remains to be seen. Their effects will not be instantaneous. It would be too much to expect that. But Mr. Bennett and his col- leagues have applied the remedy which, in their opinion, fits the disease, and time alone will tell whether they have correctly diagnosed the case and applied corrective treatment. HOME DISCIPLINE Speaking at a gathering of law: enforce- ment officers in British Columbia, Brig. Gen. S. P, Hughes, superintendent cf peni- tentiaries for the Dominion of Canada, has some pointed observations to make on the causes of crime among young people. His most significant statement was that he blamed the lack of home discipline for the large number of Canadian youths to be found in Canadian penal institutions. General Hughes, coming in contact with criminals in penitentiaries in all parts of Canada, has an unusual opportunity for studying the causes and effects of crime, and doubtless his statement was made advis- edly. It brings up a question which has of- ten been debated pro and con in the last few years, the question of the extent to which home life and home discipline have broken down since the war. It is true that the old type of home life, and the old type of obedience to parental dictates, are practically unknown today. Young people do not look on the home as the céntre of their lives. Parents do not believe in the maxim of "spare the rod and spoil the child" to the same extent as did the par- ents of a generation or two ago. There are too many attractions outside the home, too many types of pleasure for both old and young which disrupt the home life and make it, in many cases, simply a place wherein to spend the sleeping hours and some of the eating hours. All of that tends to break down home discipline, which is so vital to the proper development of character in the young people. It is unfortunate that it is 80, and it leads one to suggest that a crusade for the restoration of the old-fashioned home is quite in order. EDITORIAL NOTES The most annoying thing about a bad cold is its habit of making the victim tell his friends all about it. A physician says that Canadian men are getting flat feet. But that is not so serious as the fact that some of the men are getting flat purses. Among the things which run in all fam- ilies are stockings. At least no one will doubt that it was a grand and glorious summer. ; Coal men have been scowling a lot during _ the last two or three weeks, but the man who has to buy the coal is still smiling. | reguletion to American coal is al- Other Editors' Comments A GRAND AND GLORIOUS : FEELIN' (Farmer's Advocate) After watching the pastures gradu- ally burn up, the corn dwarfed by drought, and the prices of cattle and sheep tumbling, it is a grand and glorious feeling to stand and watch the grain rolling out of the thresher much faster than expected and top see the price of hogs holding firm. CANADIAN COAL FOR CANADA (Calgary Herald Application of the anti-dumping ready bearing fruit in the form of larger orders from Manitoba for Al- berta coal. It is just announced, for example, that the City Council of Winnipeg has placed an order for 30,000 tons of Alberta steam coal for hydro uses .... The action of the new Government is the logical meth- od of dealing with the matter, It follows a similar decision to protect the fruit and vegetable industries of this country, and so long as produc- ers do not take advantage of the con- sumers there will be general approv- al of the step to stimulate the impor- tant coal mining industry. THE SCHOOL FAIRS (Toronto Globe) One of the most beneficial devel: opments of recent years in school life is the annual fall fair hel by the pupils. At these interesting events the children exhibit proudly the results of practical work they have been carrying: on during the year. Gardening has an important place in this activity, and the success by the youthful workers in this field is amply attested by exhibits brought to the annual fair, Nothing that will grow in a well-cared-for plot is ov- erlooked, and ti displays include al- most everything, from onions to roses. Mechanical genius is encour- | aged by competitions among the boys | in the making of miniature aero- | planes, bird houses, and useful ar ticles fabricated from wood and] metal; while the girls are keen riv- | als in the production of plain sew- | ing, embroidery, home cooking, and | other domestic arts. | Another gratifying feature of these | fairs is the display of art, some of it | quite creditable, but all indicating that the children are being interest- ed in the cultural side of life. All provides delightful variety in the year's school work, and should aid materially in the development of character and the attainment of a well-rounded education. this | Bits of Humour Supporter--Do you think candidate put enough fire into his | speech?

Barton, M.D. THE FASTING CRAZE It is rather comforting to know that this craze for fasting is passing away, In one way this would appear to be unfortunate because the United States. Secretary for Agriculture tells us that the reason the farmer has a surplus of food stuffs is because health writers have been advising the public not to eat so much. However one of the reasons that fasting 1s not so popular as it was a year or two ago is because of the disastrous effect it has had on many individuals who' have tried it. Unfortunately it was mostly on our women folk who tried the fasting-- pic or short-sighted in early life will with the advance of age nat- urally find his vision change and find that the removal of his glasses is better for vision. This is natural and in this case is not to be feared but is a true and healthy condition. [ would advise that you know the reason in your case.

(Copyright, 1928) Significance of Ocular Symptoms Part "17" Second sight is a condition often met with in old people and many will say that they wish they had second sight like their friends had. Most cases of this nature also have a history of a physical derange- ment. Second sight is in itself a symptom of physical derangement. The reason In most cases of second sight is found in the lens of the eye taking a change through certain improper organic conditons, some of which may be overcome by fol- lowing a proper diet, Again we have so-called second sight by eyes affected by cataract sufficiently absorhing moisture to the extent that the vision is affect- ed apparently for the better.
