{ ~ | THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES. THURSDAY, OCTOBER $9, 1930 BACK TO THE LAND "HOVE IN BRITAIN Government Supports Move- ment to Give Work to Unemployed .* Llandudno, Wales, Oct. 9.--An government supported "back to the land" movement for the un- employed wag announced yesterday by the Minister of Agriculture, Rt. Hon, Christopher Addison, speak- ing to the Labor Party Conference. '| The government proposes, he said. "to take the powers to acquire land partly through municipal authori- _ jes and partly on igs own account, and commence organization of com- mittees throughout the country with a view to giving the unem- ployed the opportunity of cultivat- ing a bit of land. Many of the unemployed are anxious to do this, Dr. Addison said. "We shall associate small hold- ' ings with this class of work," the minister continued. "We shall equip the men with the best of material and stocks for a time un- til they get established and they "will have to receive finaneial help , try. as unemployed. There will be all sorts of mistakes, I know, and ever so many failures, but even if a small percentage make good and are removed from the desolation of unemployment, it will be worth while, 4 "We shall also have demonstra- tion farms up and down the coun- It is proposed to .establish a commodity marketing board which " would have considerable financial » A and other powers, to prevent mar- ket surpluses such as that which recently caused large quantities of plums to be left rotting on the ground." BETROTHAL SERVICE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE URGED BY DIVINE London, Oct. 9.--A "sacred ser- vice of betrothal to bring a better ' realization to young people of the sanctity, the beauty and the res- ponsibilities of marriage was sug- gested by Rev. Dr. Pollock, Bish- op of Norwich, speaking at the wedding of Lady Helena Rous and Major Beresford-Ash at St. Mar- "7 tin-in-the-Fields. "'heedlessly. "Too often, young people set out upon their married life carelessly, Too many are those who have not even taken the trouble to read through the mar- riage service before they meet fit ' for the first time in the Church. "It is a wretched atmosphere for young people if the books thev read and the talk of older people round them always fix on the meanness, the caricatures of unhappy marriage and on the ignominious ways of release from fits 'hated vows.' "' DENIES REMARK ON CANADIAN GIRLS Rudy Vallee Did Not Say They Were' "Not So Hot" Toronto,~Denial that he had ever used the expression "not so hot" in describing his impressions of Cana- dian girls, is contained in a letter written to a friend by Rudy Vallee, New York crooner of modern love lyrics. The interview appeared in a Toronto evening paper somes months ago after the crooning minstrel had made his first Canadian appearance at a dance hall in Port Dover. The interview nresented the im- oress of Mr Vallee that Canadian mirle were wholesome ht not hean- tiful. * As a resrit munch consterna- tion was caused and many letters were written to the nress condemn. ine the voung singer, for wvoicine such views. As 2» résu'. some weeke Tater, a letter from Rudv appeared in the same paper exnlaining the reason for his assertion. He stated frankly that he had said, in kind. the remarks at- tributed to him but that he had been tired, had not noticed Canadian girls particularly and was speaking in an "off-hand" manner. Recently, however, A E. Leary, 36 Laws: Street, was visiting in the studios of the National Broadcasting Company in New York when he en- countered Mr. Valee. He referred to the interview and suggested that "not so hot" as a means of describ- ing an ppinion of Canadian girls had met with disfavor in Canada. Rudy promptly and unequivocally denied that he had ever used such an ex- pression. He explained that he had written the letter to the Toronto evening paper without having read the interview, having been unable to obtain a copy of the edition some weeks old. He had based his letter to the paper upon what he had been told appeared in the interview. He stated his intention of procuring a copy of the interview and reading it. On his return to Toronto, Mr. Leary received the, following letter from the singer on his personal sta- tionery ; My Dear Mr. Leary: "I had not read the interview con- taining my supposed remarks re- garding Canadian girls until to-day. I hasten to correct the statement which appeared in the paper contain- ing the first interview. I did not say that Canadian girls were 'not so hot! 2 ' ¢ argains for You In Order to Give Work to Canadians!

Citizens of Oshawa and District :-- : Oshawa is now entering upon Prosperity Week. The merchants of this city, assisted by the Chamber of Commerce, the press and others, have co-operated in order to make this an event of paramount import- ance and one which may long stand out in the history of the community. Wonderful values are being offer- ed to the public, in new and seasonal merchandise, and. some real savings may be effected by making purchases during this period. But the aim of Pros- perity Week is not to increase sales, but rather to create a better and more optimistic spirit, a spirit which is justified by the fundamental prosperity of Oshawa and-of Canada. And if this result is achieved, those who have given generously of their time and energy will feel that it has been more than worth the ' D, FRANK JOHNSTON, Chairman, Merchants' Committee in charge of Prosperity Week BRITISH COMMENT ON BENNETT PLAN (Continued from Page 1) Bennett's straight offer to secure 'all that is helpful in empire free trade' without. subscribing to the ideal, it is well to remember how vast a portion of the empire exists where that policy is immediately p-acticable and in its entirety, "What then i to be the reply to the Canadian prime minister? The i.sue is starkly clear, How is the market for Canada's' wheat to be provided? Firstly, the government is can only do it by import boards. Secondly, the Conservatives can ap- peal to the country on the plan of flacinw duties on foreign foodstuffs, f the government's plan is put in- to operation then socialism in our time is no longer a threat but a reality, The Conservatives hold the key to the situation. Will they stand i I or rise to the oppor- I will take my oath in this particular case, "I would be more than pleased if Jou would make it a point to correct this exaggeration. "Sincerely, "R. Vallee." Mr. Vallee has regretted very much the incident, Mr. Leary stated. The young singer explained that he had been tired from an all-day trip to Port Dover, had not been paying much attention to the dancers while directing the orchestra, and did not mean to convey the idea that in his remarks he was including Canadian girls in one sweeping opinion, Previous to having written to ex- plain the circumstances, he had re- ceived two letters from Canadians in which they ¢omplained of the inter- view, and as.a result his attention had been first attracted to what he was told had been attributed to him. Because he is proud of his Canadian ancestry and cherishes memories of earlier visits to Canada, he stated, he had been disappointed on hearing of the publication of such an interview. AEROPLANES RUSH PERSIAN ART T0 LONDON GALLERY Speculation Rife in England as to Significance of New Move London, Oct. 9.--The announce- ment that four aeroplanes, carry- ing 27 cases of priceless works of Persian art, started from Teheran e [to meet a British ship which is to bring those treasures to London has sent a ripple of anticipation and. curiosity through the English public, says Lawrence Binyon in the Observer. It is quite in the vein of the Arabian Nights, only that wing- ed machines have taken the place of the legendary Roc. But the Persian art? What Is jt like? What are the treasurers that are going to fill the galleries at Bur- lington House next January, in suc- cession to the Italian masterpieces? They will not be pictures only, but will cover the whole range of Per- sian art and craft from the earliest times. It is not only from Persia, but from all over the world that ships | will be sailing and cases carried to be unpacked in London. The Egyptian Government {is lending treasures aso; and colections, both public and private, in most of the countries of Europe, and in Ameri- ca, are sending choice specimens to the exhibition. Not least will be the contribution of collectors in this country. Except for the mag- nificent selection of Japanese works of art lent by Japan to the exhibi- tion at Shepherd's Bush in 1910, no such chance of making acquain- tance with master-pleces, of Orient. al art has been vouchsafed Eng- land. The geographical position of Persia was propitious to her art. With China on the East, Greece on the West, and India on the South for neighbours, she was in close touch with great creative tradi- tions, without falling into subser- vience to any. Her art profited by the stimulus from without, and the influence was sometimes reciprocal. After the Arab conquest Persia becomes the chief creative centre in Islam. has become a proverb--Words- worth's phrase ' crystallises tradi- tional associations. Persian art is above all things distinguished for a supreme sense of decoration, a supreme gift for color. Hitherto the most familiar form ] of Persian art has becn the carpet. There will be a superb array of Tinest carpets in the exhibition, and the finest Persian carpets are miracles of cemplex color-design, an interweaving of many motives combined as in a masterly piece of music. Persian poftery is less known to the public, but ranks very high among the ceramic arts of the World. And the Persians were great masters of brush-drawing cn pottery from an early time. And what of Pergian painting? This is still less known. In fact, It is only in quite recent years that the subject has even begun to be explored, and there fs still any amount of exploration to be done. Persian paintings are little known because they are mostly {illustra- tions to manuscripts and hidden in libraries. Some hundreds will be shown in the exhibition. The magnificent series' generously loan- ed by: Chester Beatty from his un- rivalled collection would of itself be a revelation. For Persian paint. ing, though usually on a small scale, has great qualities. The fourteenth, fifteenth, and sixteenth centuries are the period of its glory, While Chinese and Japanese art delight in low-toned harmonies of color and have a special prefer- ence for ink-painting, Persian painting intoxicates with eolor that is truly gor; yet is harmoniz- ed by a fastidious taste and choice- ness. The uncolored drawings are "The Gorgeous East" | of a marvelous sensitiveness and delicacy, as is the handwriting; the famous scribes are more honored in Persia than the most famous paint. ers.

It is so easy and so satisfactory to open and heat the fine-flavored Canadian soups that are now available in wide variety, that soup is "coming into its own" in Canadian homes. It is a fortunate fact, established by food chemists that the essential vitamins--supplied by the sun's rays In generous quantities to growing vegetables--are retained by commer cial canning. Medical science de- clares that thc maintenance of health and vigor is dependent on there be- ing sufficient vitamins in the food we cat from day to day. Canned soup is an econemical, con- venient and dependable form of vit- amin-containing feod, because mod- ern methods of canning retain to a very large 'degree, the vitamins that are found in the raw vegetables used in soup-making. Tomatoes and peas are notably rich in vitamins, and tomato soup and green pea soup are, therefore, especially healthful. Vegetable soup. combining in delicious manner a number of vegetables, is, of course, particularly nourishing and conducive to a balanced diet. HELPFUL HINTS ON THE CARE OF WAXED FLOORS Do not use water on waxed floor, In case any gets on acicdentally wipe it off without delay. Sweep the floor with a soft brush or mop entirely free from oil, for oil softens the wax, Wter dulls and whitens a waxed floor but it is not necessary to use water to clean a waxed floor. A cloth saturated with liquid wax will remove spots, If you think the floor requires a thorough cleaning, use terpentine with a cloth--this- will dissolve the coating of dirty wax on the surface and the floor will be cleaned. If you happen to be one of those housekeepers who consider water the best cleaner, wring a cloth as dry as possible out of warm, soapy water and wipe floor. If this re- moves the color and lustre you will have to polish the floor to restore it to its original brightness. A weighted brush or woolen cloth should be used occasionally on a waxed floor to retain its lustre, The newest necklace is the jew- elled collar of beads or scintiflating brilliants. These fit the neckline perfectly and look like demure round collars, many having bows or jabots. Linen beach hats are to be the vogue for southern wear, Then sister remembered that one of the girls restored an old faded painting by touching up the dark- ened lights of the painting.

The Times' comment, while de- claring that Mr. Bennett's and Mr. Scullin's speeches leave no room for easy generalities, consi.ts largely of a summary of the utterances of the Canadian and Australian prime min- isters, On Mr, Bennett's nroposal the Times comments: "It is a test of the sincerii; of the government's spokesmen, including the premier, who proclaimed their readiness to consider on its merits without any preconceived bias any proposal to promote co-operative development of t' empire's prosperity. "If the man_ sided imperial investi- gation demanded by Mr, Bennett shows it is impracticable or would injure more than help, and that it is incapable of being modified for mutual benefit, then of course, it can a clear conscience., To reject out of hand any extension is warmly ad- vocated by the whole body of dom- inion premiers--and to refuse to give the Canadian proposals detailed and unbiased examination, would clearly be to do what ministers have repeat- edly promised would not be done-- namely, to close the door in advance te any proposals for the development of empire trade, which did not con- form with the outworn fiscal theories of some influential members of the government.

The Manchester Guardian draws the moral that the empire free trade campaign in this country has been killed, "That a scheme of this kind, if it were practicable, would not con- duce to most harmonious relation within the empire, is fairly evident, from the tone of certain remarks by Premier Bennett," the Guardian said "These nave an ominous; almost-a li tlreatening sound. He calls it plain speaking and demands an answer." The Conser Yorksh: st thinks it is a great advantage to have the dominions putting their cards on the table and commends their obser- vations firstly to Lord Beaverbrook.
