REPRESENTATIVES IN U.S. Powers and Stone Inc., New York and Chicage TUESDA®, OCTOBER 7th, 1930 EVENING VOCATIONAL CLASSES Oshawa is fortunate in that its working people have at their disposal the evening vo- cational classes which are being opened at the Collegiate and Vocational Institute this evening. These classes offer a wide range of subjects, from further instruction for those wishing to brush up on certain aca- demic studies to courses in the intricacies of machine shop practice, building construc- tion and motor mechanics. The list of sub- jects is so varied that there would seem to be something for almost every conceivable type of student, something for all classes in the community who might be benefitted by taking courses of instruction. It might be said that there will be little demand for evening class instruction this year, on account of the unemployment de- pression, but this present situation gives a practical illustration of the value of voca- tional training. The great majority of those now suffering from the depression are un- skilled workers, men who have never taken any training whatsoever to fit them for a particular trade or vocation. The skilled workers 'have not suffered nearly so much. The conclusion must be obvious. Unskilled - workers who take advantage of the voca- tional classes may fit themselves, by assid- uous study, to qualify as skilled workers, the type of workers who suffer least from periods of unemployment. That is a circum- * stance which is well worth considering at this time, and one which should induce many . citizens to take advantage of the evening "classes to secure expert training which will fit them for positions in the skilled trades and occupations. : CANCELLING WAR DEBTS There is nothing new in the suggestion made by Charles L. Burton, president and . manager of the Robert Simpson Company, * that the war debts of the world should be "cancelled in order to bring about a return * of normal prosperity to the whole world. It has been put forward before, but nothing has 'ever come of it, owing.to the fact that Bri- tain, the greatest debtor nation, has a strong . aversion to making any move towards the wiping out of obligations which she has un- * dertaken to meet. * : Yet, from a purely economic viewpoint, leaving sentimental and other considerations extirely out of the picture, the cancellation of war debts would be the salvation of the world from a trade standpoint. The great creditor nation is the United States, which is receiving tribute from most of the countries which fought on the allied side in the war, and from Great Britain most of all. - There is not enough precious metal in the whole world to pay the indebtedness which the na- tions owe to the United States, so the only way in which it can be paid is by the sale of goods to the United States. But that country has set up high tariff walls to pre- vent foreign goods entering that country, so | that payment by that method is hardly pos- . gible. So, in order to meet their obligations, | Britain and the other debtor countries have to sacrifice their own Tesourees, their ows spending er, As a result, they are unable to buy 50 from the United States, from Canada, and from other! countries which formerly enjoyed trade in the British mar- Jere the war debts cancelled, that buy- power in Europe and Britain would im- be restored.

This report is Jstonishing, for it shows "that the radio industry last year produced goods to the value of approximately $21,- 000,000. In addition, furniture factories produced 87,200 radio cabinets, valued at $1,279,000. And imports of radio sets and parts: from the United States amounted to over $10,000,000, although, incidentally, it would have been better for Canada had that ten million dollars been spent on Canadian- made products rather than on those imported from over the border. : | Further statistics show that last year 424,146 radio receiving licenses were 'issued sued to 1,289 stations in Canada. Of these, 81 were issued to private commercial broad- casting stations, ten to amateur broadcast- ing stations, 47 to public commercial stations, 71 to experimental stations, 188 to private commereial stations not used for regular broadcasting, 610 amateur experimental sta- tions and 319 to ships. Truly, radio has become a great asset to industry in Canada, and the amazing thing is that the production of the radio industry in 1929 was 65 per cent greater than in 1928. This ratio of development is bound to con- tinue, for radio is even yet in the experimen- tal stages, and in due time it is bolind to be- come even a greater industry than it is to- day. AN UNITED DESIRE The outstanding feature of the opening speeches at the Imperial Conference in Lon- don the other day was the entire unanimity of thought displayed in the speeches made by the representatives of the various Do- minions. All of them seemed to be concen- trating their attention on the question of Empire trade and how it could best be de- veloped. All of them were sincere and hon- est in the expression of their desire to pro- mote, as far as they possibly could during the discussions of the conference, the devel- opment of a greater volume of trade between the component parts of the Empire, and even suggested that compromise would be made in order to bring about an agreement tee wards that end. With so united a desire on the part of the various premiers for co-operation in matters of Empire trade, there is no reason why The Times pointed out some days ago, there will have to be give and take on both sides. Compromise will be necessary in the atti- tude of some of the Dominions, including Canada, if the best possible solution is to be found. Yet, that should not be difficult. It all depends on the viewpoint which is adopt- ed by the various delegates from the many parts of the Empire. If they think only of their own national problems, and are unwill- ing to look at the other fellow's viewpoint, then there will be much time wasted. But if they go into the conference, as they have indicated a desire to do, with open minds, seeking only what is best not only for them- selves but for the whole Empire, then the Imperial Economic Conference of 1930 should mark the beginning of a new era in intra-Imperial trade, which will bring in its train greater Empire prosperity.

Wheat prices are rising again, That will be good news for the farmers of the west, particularly if the rise continues. Things will be a lot brighter in Oshawa when the line-up at the employment office every morning ceases to exist.

After a year or two he managed to get back on the list ---and he stayed till he died, and never registered another kick. bh LOOKING BACKWARD (Edmonton Bulletin) Senator Forke says if the wheat pool had dumped its holdings on the market last fall the price de- pression would have been still worse. Likely enough, And if the private dealers had dumped, the same result would have followed in proportion. But unfortunately the worst depression came along later, and the grain, that had been held had to be sold at still lower prices, and carrying charges paid. The net result was that the Arg- entine growers got a better price than they would have got if the '| Canadian crop had been sold early, and the Canadian growers less. That was not foreseen, and was per- haps unforeseeable. But the fact should be noted as it may be use- ful in future. A holding policy sometimes amounts to helping a competitor at one's own expense, gp TEN YEARS OF THE RADIO (New York Evening Post) The tenth anniversary of radio broadcasting, which gave the indus- try its greatest impetus, is being celebrated this week. The first program went on the air from a Pittsburgh station in 1920, and a few weeks later this same station introduced radio to politics by broadcasting returns of the Hard- ing-Cox election. Crystal-detector sets were then the last word in re- ception, and it was necessary for members of the family to take turns at wearing the earphones, Restrict- ed as were its opportunities, how- ever, broadcasting developed so rapidly that within a few years the air was overcrowded and the Gov- ernment was seeking some form of regulation. & The substitution of electrified vacuum-tube sets for those with crystal detectors and the replace- ment of earphones with loud speak- ers, together with other improve- ments, greatly increased the range and quality of reception. Television today is scarcely more of a novelty than broadcasting was in 1920. These developments have created great industries.

Barton, M.D. NERVOUS SYMPTOMS Some years ago I was asked to be medical referee for an accident in- surance company, in a case that was somewhat puzzling. A young woman in endeavoring to avoid an automobile had fallen to the pavement. 'The automobile did not strike her although the tires had passed over a coat she held over her arm, There was not the slightest sign of injury to her body in any way, but she remained off from her work, week after week, and the insurance company got the idea that she was feigning illness, as they were notified that a suit for damages was forth- coming. After making my examination, as there was no visible damage, and X- ray showed no injury to head or bones, the company were tempted to fight the case. I suggested however that the scare, the fright, might casily upset the nervous system, dnd although they might win their case in the court there was just the chance also that they wouldn't. I asked a nerve specialist to exam- ine the case, and he gave it as his opinion that the shock had really up- set the entire nervous system so that the patient was not sleeping or eat- ing properly, and might continue this way for some time. The company settled the case in a manner satis- factory to the victim, and she recov- ered. I know that it is often jokingly stated that a money settlement will immediately cure all these "accident" cases, but a court said recently "It is a fact, well within human experi- ence, that suffering from disturbance of the nervous system may be, and often is, more intense and severe than almost any other form of suffer- ing. Now in all cases of accident, where there are nervous symptoms, or in cases of illness where the nervous system is upset even after the acute illness is past, real care must be given if these cases are to be brought back to normal health. This does not mean trying to "buck" them up by telling them that there is nothing wrong with them. The best treatment is to be sympa- thetic, and explain that as the worst is over (accident or illness) that the nerves must now be built up and see that they get regular hours of sleep, good meals, some outdoors daily, and every day see that they try to do something for themselves, If you try to work by the tremes, telling them that there is nothing wrong, or being too sympa- thetic, you may do real damage to their nervous make-up. The. nerves need the same careful treatment as an ulcer of the stomach a broken bone, the damage is just as real.

When all home money is working at home, every industry, every com- mercial enterprise and every institu- tion in the city will be stimulated; the whole city will gather new strength and there will be prosperity such as the city has never seen be- fore, Putting your money to work in the home city is the most practical and fruitful way of manifesting loy- alty to the home city. The loyalty that counts most is when people spend their money where it will do the most for the common good. When money is spent in the home city it stays on the job and works for all, People should practice civic loy- alty, which means that nothing should be bought elsewhere when it can be bought at. home.

Their activities are chiefly confined to a stretch of eight, miles along the river above the weir. There aro a number of deep pools in this vieinity and the herd spend some of their time in these when not raiding the crops growing in this area. Complaints from the farmers have been made to the Provincial Administration, and it is understood that a permit has been issued to the police to shoot the marauders. Up to the present all attempts to get mear the herd have failed. They are said to be extremely shy and do not often appear during the day, but wait until after dark before visiting the lands to feed.
