Powers and Stone Inc., New York and Chicago WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 8th, 1930 THE FINANCE CHAIRMAN RESIGNS The resignation of Alderman Peter Mac- Donald, as chairman as the finance commit- tee of the city council, has provided Oshawa with somewhat of a municipal sensation. Alderman MacDonald left no doubt in the minds of the citizens as to why he resigned. For some months he has been ploughing a lonely furrow, for almost every time he made some suggestion as to what might be done to relieve conditions in the city, he was op- posed by a solid phalanx composed of the rest of the aldermen. The last straw came, apparently, when he was placed in the posi- tion, as chairman of the finance committee, of opposing a recommendation of his own committee. That alone made his position al- most untenable, and it was not surprising - that he resigned. . Alderman MacDonald's resignation, how- ever, did not arise from that single case of lack of sympathy with the ideas of thegrest of the council. The same situation has exist- ed for months. It started when he opposed the bylaws providing for the new municipal buildings and police station. He and one other alderman, Ald. Samuel Jackson, stood alone in opposition to the bylaws, and their stand was vindicated at the polls by the rate- payers. Since then, there has been a suspi- cion in the minds of many people that that caused a definite rift in the council harmony. There may be no foundation for that suspi- cion, of course, but it does seem rather strange that in discussing measures for the relief of unemployment "everybody was out " of step" but Ald. MacDonald. The situation which has been created by his resignation will not be ended by the ap- pointment of a successor. It will in all pro- bability be carried to the hustings at the next municipal election, for it is considered almost a certainty that Alderman MacDon- ald will be a candidate for mayor in January. He has not made any announcement to this effect, of course, but it will be quite a sur- prise if he is not found in the field for the 'mayoralty for 1931. Then the electors will have their opportunity to pass judgment on the situation which has been developed, and the issue which has been created should add a great element of spice and interest to the election campaign. NO OPPOSITION W. E. N, Sinclair, Liberal leader in On. tario, has announced that no opposition will be offered to the new ministers of "he Fer- guson cabinet who are seeking re-election. This was wise strategy on the part of the Liberal leader for more than one reason. In their present mood, the electors of the rid- ings involved would be certain to re-elect their ministers, and any opposition would be - simply a futile gesture. Further than that, however, there is the fact that the people of + Ontario are not in a mood for more elections -at the present time. They have had enough "within the la "sible to arouse much interest in isolated bye-elections in a few ridings. There is the further thought that it has een asserted by many authorities that the whole principle that ministers should seek re-elec .on being appointed to cabinet "posts "is ° , This is particularly true "with tion to ministers appointed within a short period after a general election, and "itis not yet a year since the Ferguson gov- ernment came back into power in Ontario. © On the whole, therefore, Mr. Sinclair and beral party showed excellent judg- tent, not only for its own sake but for the of the electors, in deciding to allow the cabinet ministers to take their seats in Legislature by acclamation. PROVIDING MORE WORK year, and it would be impos- through stréet out of the business sectidn of the city, and at the same time giving work to a fairly large number of men, All of these projects will help to relieve the situation to some extent, by providing employment to a number of men, and by ar- ranging for double shifts, working alternate weeks, it will be possible to help a fairly large number of families. This is good business for the city and the men who are out of work, but the aldermen must not think that they have completed the job of looking after the provision of work for the unemployed. There must be a con- stant study of the problem, and a thorough inquiry into every possible source of employ- ment. - Doubtless there are still other pro- jects which: the council might feel disposed to consider favorably, and which, in addition to the Simcoe Street South subway, would greater lessen the number of unemployed, The Times believes that the council, in spite of its late start at providing relief works, is doing its level best to make amends, and de- serves credit for what it has done in the last month. May it keep up the good work and continue its efforts to provide even a larger measure of work for those who need it so urgently. PREVENTION OF MENTAL DISEASE The remarks of Dr. B. H. McGhie, director of mental health clinics for the province of Ontario, at a meeting of the Ontario Hos- pital Association/in Toronto the other day, show that the mental health authorities of the province are fully seized of the import- ance of prevention of disorders of this type. It is quite a logical step to apply to mental torubles the same type of preventive care as is given in diseases like tuberculosis, and with Dr. McGhie a firm believer in this prac- tice, it s quite likely that Ontario will, in the near future, see some new developments along this line. The most significant factor in the whole subject is that mental health authorities are convinced that these troubles and. diseases are preventable, and that if caught in the incipient stages, they can be successfully treated so as to give a complete renewal of health, This is the logical line which should be followed. Preventative measures are far more satisfactory from evéry standpoint than the maintaining of large institutions for the care of those who have suffered from a mental or nervous breakdown. Our mo- dern life, with all its complexities, is hard on the nervous and mental systems of those who are caught in its high speed activities, and thd development of means whereby their health can be safeguarded, and mental and nervous breakdown prevented, the sav- ing in money, in efficiency of individuals, and even of human life, will be tremendous. PREMIER BRACKEN"S WARNING A timely warning has been issued by Pre- mier Bracken of Manitoba, who points out that while the federal government has done much to relieve unemployment, the chief es- sential of a return to prosperity in Canada still remains unsolved. That problem is the marketing of Canada's wheat crop. While that remains unsolved, Premier Bracken says, the west cannot recover, and the un- employment situation cannot be wholly re- lieved. The western premier is right. Until Can- ada can profitably sell her surplus of farm products, any measures such as those under taken by the federal government can only be of a temporary character, What is need- ed is the working out of a plan whereby Canada's wheat and other agricultural pro- ducts can be sold. And the greatest hope that this will be done lies in the Imperial Economic Conference. If Mr. Bennett and his colleagues can apply themselves as suc- cessfully to the solution of that problem as they have done to the problem of creating work for the unemployed, there will be some hope that the difficulty pointed out by Mr, Bracken' will be removed.

The pancreatic juice is therefore most important, And by stimulating the liver to send more bile down intestine fit thus prevents constipation because bile is Nature's purgatives, What is my point? That in sickness, in emergenciés the use of calomel, epsom salts, cas tor oil or other iaxatives is absolu- tely necessary, but if purgatives are going to be used daily you are not only hurrying food along too fast and preventing absorption of this food into the blood, but you are to some extent clearing out the secre tin also, which is one of Nature's methods of stimulating the flow of bile, which in turn is Nature's na- tural purgative. Why not bend or exercise the body to help stimulate the bile flow; eat fruits and a certain amount of coarse food, and make the use of purgatives unnecessary, (Registered in accordance with the Copyright Act.) proved time and again to be ag all the principles of good business, As was mentioned in a recent article contributed to our columns by a local advertising specialist: "Among ex- perienced advertisers today, it has become an established policy to re- doublé efforts in bad times, because of the actual results which have been derived in so many instances from the adoption of this policy." SAVING BY LIFE INSURANCE (Woodstock Sentinel-Review) All of which suggests some obvious advantages of saving by means of life insurance, In the first place, the policyholder has acquired an "estate," as the agents say, and his beneficiary is protected the moment his first pre- mium is paid. Once insured, a policy- holder will make a real effort to meet the annual or other regular pre- mium rather than allow this protec- tion to drop. Almost every policy has a loan provision, in case of ne- cessity, and the popular forms nowa- days enable the policyholder to par- ticipate in the profits on his money either by way of dividend or reduc- tion in premium. Furthermore, if after a few years the insured cannot continue to pay the premiums, he has an option of extended insupance. If one can afford to buy an endowment policy, he is guaranteed not only the protection of ordinary life insur- ance but the whole investment with good returns thereon, paid back at end of contract period.

On driving up to one of the main roads in the city from one of the side streets, we were directed by a number of Scouts to make a detour over the road, Looking around, we saw that the corner had been The scene of an ac- cident and there was a considerable amount of broken glass lying in the road which a number of boys were busy removing while others directed passing motorists around the spot and prevented them from sustaining serious damage to thelr tires, Little acts like this bring to the notice of the citizens the fact that Scouts do not only profess the creed of helpfulness but actually act up to their laws. This reminds us of the fact that the Toy Shop is once more on the move, and every boy should start making his home a private collec- tion depot for old and disused toys preparatory to the opening of the shop. ; To put the shop on the map this year will require the concerted ef- forts of all Scouts in Oshawa. The need for our help will be greatly increased this year, owing to the Increased amount of unem- ployed in the city, so get to work right away and stay at it until after December 25th, In accordance with our statement of last week we are continuing this week our series of explanations of the Scout Laws which have been criticized in some quarters, The Second Law A Scout is loyal to the King, his country, his ofMicers, his parents, his employers, and to those under him, fle must stick to them through thick and thin against anyone who is their enemy or who even talks badly of them. This means that a Scout does not associate with those with whom he cannot sgree, and stands by those with whom he is friendly. It does not mean that he must not stand up for his just rights, or allow anybody to impose on him, It means that he gives an honest day's work for an honest day's pay. In the olden days when sailing vessels sailed the ocean, and storms overtook the ships, causing them to be in great danger, the sailors used to watch for the rats to leave the ship as a sign of the seaworthiness of the vessel, Directly the vessel was In grave danger the rats started to leave. The captain however, stayed with the ship until the last boat was gone, and very often went down with his ship. That rat is an example of dis loyalty and the captain an example of loyalty which all Scouts endeav- our to copy in their everyday lives. While we do not recommend that Scouts keep their opinions in a pig: headed way in the face of reason- able proof of their mistaken opin- fons, we do hold that they should retain their honest opinions and not change them at every blow of an adverse wind.
