Tresidder, "© REPRESENTATIVES IN US. + Powers and Stone'Ine., New York and Chicago SATURDAY, OCTOBER 4th, 1980 | OSHAWA'S PROVISION FOR RELIEF The finance committee of the city council "has given instructions to the social welfare department that relief to unemployed men with families can be given up to a maximum of seven dollars a week. This amount is not, of course, more than a mere pittance with which to supply the actual necessities of life, yet, in comparison with some communities, Oshawa is being very generous, particularly when one realizes the large number of fami- lies which will require to be taken caré of during the coming winter. This relief is to be given in those cases where it is not pos- sible to provide the man with employment, and no matter how much the council may desire to relieve the situation, it will not be possible to give work to every man who re- quires it. * Up in Kitchener, they are dispensing their relief in a different way. In fact, no man is to/be given relief unless he works for it. For instance, if he receives a four dollar order for groceries, he has to work for ten hours in order to Zet it. And meanwhile he must surrender his liquor permit, and must use tobacco only in great moderation. The civic officials in Kitchener are apparently able to provide some kind of work for which they will pay, not in money, but in relief orders. That is very different from the plan here. In Oshawa, when work is done, it is paid for in cash, and the man has the right to spend his money where and how he likes. It is only when relief is granted without em- 'ployment that the social welfare department makes inquiries into the existence of a liquor permit and the amount which it is used. Thus this city is going a big step farther in its generosity than in Kitchener, in spite of the fact that the unemployed problem in the latter community is only a fraction of what it is in this city. THE SEASON STARTS |" Today the Canadian rugby feotball season starts for Oshawa with the visit of the Gen- eral Motors Blue Devils team to Kingston for an exhibition game against the redoubt- able seniors of Queen's University. There is the right tang in the air to make good football weather, the football enthusi- asts of the community are looking forward to a season of splendid sport from the repre- sentative team of Oshawa in the Ontario Rugby Football Union. Two years ago, the Blue 'Devils brought an Ontario champion- ship .to Oshawa. Last year, after winning their group they were defeated in the final " game for the Ontario title by the Sarnia team. The 1930 season gives them a new lease of life. They have a strong team, these Blue Devils, and should go a long way before the snow covers the gridiron. Other teams, too, have been adding to their strength, so that a hard road lies ahead before the season is ~all over. Oshawa, however, has faith and confidence in the Blue Devils. Oshawa people are looking to them to once again uphold the glory of the city on the field of athletic en- deavor, and win or lose, the boys who wear the uniform of the General Motors team can rest assured that they will have the support of the city, and the best wishes of all their friends for a repetition of the success of two years ago. 4 SIMCOE STREET SOUTH PAVING One of the suggestions made by the un- : employed of Oshawa in order to provide work fof those now out of jobs was that the section of Bimcoe Street South leading to the harbor be paved at once. This was also suggested some time aga by The Times, not merely as a measure to relieve the unem- ployment situation, but also because this 'pavement is becoming more necessary every 'day that the harbor is used. It is a piece of work which should be undertaken at once, 'even if there were no unemployment prob- lem, in order to make the harbor facilities more easily available for those who are us-. ing them. Persons using the harbor facili- t must feel that the road over have to drive their shipments is isgrace, and while it remains in that con. on, it will not be possible to secure the se from the harbor. Further, with the certainty, that more development work FOR ' huge will be done at the harbor in the near future, particularly by way of improving the wharf- age and docking facilities, the need of a paved road leading to the harbor will be- come even. greater, unless the city council takes the necessary action to have the pav- ing done at once. : In connection with this ject, sight should not be lost of the fact that the city, a little over a year ago, had an offer from Gordon D. Conant to donate a strip of land, fourteen feet wide, to provide for the widen- ing of Simcoe Street solith Zo the lake. As The Times commented at the time, this was a generous offer, and one which ought to be accepted, so as to make possible a street of proper width for the amount of traffic: which the road to the lake has to carry. It was bad enough before the harbor was opened, for the amount of passenger traffic was more than sufficient during the summer months to tax the capacity of the present road. Now that the freight traffic to and from the harbor has been added, the neces- sity for a wide road is even greater, and, should the city council decide to go ahead with the paving project, it would be good business to reopen the negotiations for the donation of the land needed to make the road sufficiently wide to meet the needs of the city and its harbor for many years to come. . LOOKING BACK OVER THE RADIO The recent celebration of the tenth anni- versary of radio broadcasting calls attention very forcibly to the great strides which has been made by this development of electrical science. Ten years ago radio was largely an experiment. Broadcasting was being done only on a small scale, with engineers trying* to perfect both their transmitting and their receiving apparatus. Small crystal sets, with earphones, were the last word in radio invention, and it was as much as one person at a time could do to catch the signals and the messages coming over the air. These ten years have seen a great trans- formation in radio. It has now. become a industry. Radio transmission has reached such a stage of development that programs can now be sent around the entire world. The demand for receiving sets has created an entirely mew industrv involving the investment of hundreds «. .aillions oi dollars and the employment of tens of thousands of workers even on this side of the Atlantic. Television is an accomplished fact, and there seems to be no limit to what can be accomplished in the field of broad- casting. The progress of these last ten years has been amazing to even the present generation, accustomed as it is to the won- ders of science. It is impossible to tryite visualize what the next ten years will bring. Even.greater wonders than those Of the last decade are already on the way, and if the science of radio makes as much progress in the next ten year period as it has done in the past, there would seem to be no end to what can be accomplished. One might even try to predict that by 1940 it will be possible to sit in one's home and not only hear broad- casts of great events, but also to see them, for that appears to be the end at which radio engineérs are aiming. Radio is re- making. the world in many ways, and one can only wait to be.amazed still more as the passing years produce even greater won- ders than those we now enjoy. BRITAIN'S BEST CUSTOMER Coming just at a time when Great Britain is meeting with the representatives of the Dominions in an effort to evolve a new trade policy for the Empire, the announcement that Canada is now Britain's best customer has a very special significance. Up to the present time, the United States has held that position, buf for the three months of April, May and June, Britain imported $8,- 500,000 worth of goods more to Canada than to the United States. ' That condition should have a very definite bearing on whatever negotiations are con- ducted between Canada and the Mother Country with reference to finding a market in Britain for a larger share of Canadian agricultural products. It should make Bri- tain far more receptive than would other- wise have been the case to Premier Bennett's suggestions for the marketing of Canada's surplus of grain. With Canada as Britain's best customer, there is every hope that Bri- tain will be willing to take more of Canada's products, and thus there will be a practical measure of development of greater Empire trade. EDITORIAL NOTES An unemployed man is still waiting for you to give him a job: ; Henry Ford predicts wages of $27.00 a day by 1950. But just think what the cost of living would be at such a scale. And any- way, wages in 1950 are not of much interest to the man who i8 out of a job in 1980. * Money available for relief employment now amounts to between $80,000,000 and $90,000,000. Who will be the next to raise the total? ha Premier Bennett may not be able to blast his way into the world's markets, but he is showing Canada how to blast its way to bet- ter times and more employment.

"During the distressing times since October 1929, American busi- ness has shown its firmness and its power, as well as its patriotism, by holding the line. If the business men of the country enlisted behind big business and did their part, the crisis wheh has been feared never will occur. "The business interests of the country, safe, sound and determin- ed, will take care o fany situation that may arise. The need is for the business men in every town and city in the country to realize the militancy of their opportunity at this time and enlist 100% in, the splendid effort that is being made to carry on, "BUSINESS HAS BEEN HOLD- ING THE LINE FOR TEN MONTHS WITH AN UPHILL FIGHT.

That Body of Pours By James W. Barton, M.D. OW THE WEATHER AFFECTS YOUR HEALTH I have spoken before about how patients afflicted with rheumatism make good weather prophets; that although the day may appear to be bright, that they can foretell bad weather hours ahead. This is thought to be due to the electric conducting power of the air, and to atmospheric pressure, However individuals not affected with rheumatism can often foretell bad weather because of various symptoms within themselves. Dr, H, J. Schmid, Berlin, points out that there exists certain symp- toms that are usually considered as being caused by weather conditions, First from the mental or head standpoint there is despondency, irritability, drowsiness or -sleep- lessness, anxiety, headaches, dizzi- ness, vomiting and nose bleed. Then the digestive symptoms; lack of appetite, nausea, coated tongue, bad taste in the mouth, constipation or diarrhoea. And finally the rheumatic symptoms of pain in the muscles, in nerves, and in joints, Now just how does the atmos- phere enter into the causation of these symptoms? That the electricity and the at- mospheric pressure are causes is admitted, but just how and to what extent. is unknown. Also there may be other unknown factors that help to cause the symptoms, Now as a matter of fact it is really conditions inethat body of yours that enables the weather to have these above effects on you. Just as the rhemuatic condition of your joints, nerves and muscles enables the storm or cloudy wea- ther to cause pain and stiffness, 0 alsa, must there be some condition of your brain and mind and also of your digestive system that invites or enables the weather to cause symptoms mentioned' above. In the case of the brain or the head it may be some inherited con- dition, perhaps some condition de- veloped in chldhood that causes bad weather to make you depressed ir- rtable, dzzy, prostrated and so forth, . And similarly with the digestive disturbances. Some error in diet, some lack of chewing the food, some slowness of the impulses that move food and waste along. What is to be done? There may be some conditions that cannot be helped, but the cor- rection of digestive and rheumatic conditions can certainly be accom- plished. And the correction of these may_have a most beneficial effect upoff the head symptoms. (Registered in accordance with the Copyright Act.) Eye Care and | Eye RW Strain by C. H. Tuck, Opt.

You should take occasion to observe carefully the children in your charge as there are certain symptoms of eyestrain easily recognized, which wili enable you to determine in some degree the visual condition of the child. These symptoms include: Headaches: The majority of head- aches are caused by errors of vision and they readily yield when the help. : Head Tilting: Many children (and adults as well) carry the head tilted to one side. This may indicate As- tigmatism or muscular trouble of the eyes--frequently a cause of headaches, nervousness, indigestion, dizziness and nervous disorders. Squinting: The child with defec- tive eyes often squints or frowns to assist itself to better vision, Styes and Inflamed Lids: Styes are frequently caused by refractive errors, as is also inflamation of the lids. . These usually disappear when proper glasses are worn, (To be continued) VALUABLE ROAST But Corporal Saved Porker That Was Swept Over- board Ottawa, Oct, 4.--The ""Mountie" detachment at Pangnirtung, Baffin Land, will have a juicy roast of pork: for Christmas dinner this year, But an unusual accident al- most robbed them of this choice morsel. The incident was related by government officials, who have just returned from the Arctic pa- trol of the steamer Beothic., . Corporal Margetts, of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, who wil} live at the far north post for the next two years, took two live pigs with him on the Beothic, the pork- ers to be fattened and killed at Christmas. When the Beothic ran into rough weather on the down trip from Bache peninsula a large wave broke open the crate in which the pigs were being transported, The pigs were swept overboard, but Corp. Margetts plunged into the swirling ice cold water and manag- ed to drag one of the porkers back to safety, The other disappeared. T.B. PATIENTS IN MENTAL HOSPITALS TOBE SEGREGATED Hon. Dr. Robb Announces Appointment of Hos- pital Director Toronto, Oct. 4--Examination of all inmates of mental institutions in the provifice, to eliminate those suf- fering from tuberculosis, is now un- der way, Dr. J. M. Robb, newly-ap- pointed Minister of Public Health, stated last night before the Ontario Hospital Association, in the first ad- dress he has made since his appoint- ment, Dr. Robb also announced the ap- pointment of Dr. B. T. McGhie, of Orillia, as director of, hospitals for Ontario, a newly-created office. Dr, McGhie, is also director of mental blwealth 'clinics for the provinge. The minister also intimated the possibility of free treatment to indi- gent cancer victims should the radio- logical institute suggested by Prem- ier Ferguson be established. In cone nection with the examination of men- tal hospital .patients, he stated that in one hospital alone last week his department had discovered 40 cases of 'tuberculosis. More money must be spent by fed- eral, provincial and municipal co-op- eration for the prevention of disease, Dr. Robb declared. In a scathing comparison, Dr. Robb pointed to huge expenditures made by Provincial and Federal Govern- ment for 'education, elimination of level crossings, and prevention of dis- ease among cattle, and asserted that but a fraction of 'the sums was spent én national health, and even less on preventive measures, Dr. Robb pointed out that the fed- eral government spent two and one- half million dollars on the preven. tion of disease among cattle and hogs and less than one million on the pre- vention of disease among people. "Surely we can expect the public men of thi: country to view human life as more valuable than the life of beasts," he said, NEW SETTLEMENTS URGED BY HIGGINS Salvation Army Head Wants Better Direction of Migration (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Queenstown, South Africa Oct. 4. »~New settlements for white men in South Africa were suggested by General Edward Higgins, head of the Salvation Army, as a possible outcome of the Imperial Conference in London. He expressed the earn est hope the conference would fa- vor empire expansion, by which he meant the creation of opportunities for a larger number of people to become prosperous, contented and happy. The, General expressed the opin. fon that some statesmen would share the view long held by the Sal- vation Army, that migration could be better directed by a strong busi- ness committee than by politicians, NN -- The Guiness family of England which made its fortune in ale and stout, may try to lift the America's cup, which Lipton failed to do.

COURTS TO DECIDE LEGALITY OF NEW TAX ON TRAWLERS Ottawa, Oct, 4.--~Whether the tax imposed upon trawlers operap ing on the Atlantic coast is within the caompetence of parliament to enact is a question which the Sup- reme Court of Canada will be ask- ed to decide. Hon. E. N. Rhodes, minister of Fisheries, has request- ed the department of justice to prepare a reference to determine the conmstitutionality of the impost. The question arises out of the objection taken by the National Figh Company, which operates a number of trawlers out of Halifax N.S, that a demand by the depart- ment for a sum of $61,000, in pay- ment of the tax upon, trawler- caught fish, is irregular inasmuch as the tax, according to the coun- sel for the company, is unconstitu- tional.
