It is a tribute, too, to the good common-sense of the people of Oshawa who are seeking this method of improving their education, their training, and their fitness to occupy worth- while vocations in life. It is doubtful if there is any other community in Ontario in which it has been necessary to establish a waiting list of applicants for these special courses. This record shows that the period of de- pressed employment has been a lesson to many citizens who have, heretofore, appear- ed. in the ranks of unskilled labor. They have realized the handicap which this has placed upon them. What is more import- ant, they have realized the opportunity pro- vided for them to overcome this handicap. The work being done in this connection in the evening vocational classes is work which will produce rich dividends in better equip- ped and more capable citizens, men and wo- men who, having acquired skill in the partic- ular courses in which they are seeking educa- tion, will be able to use that knowledge and skill for the betterment of their own status of life. That in itself more than justifies the existence of the evening vocational classes, and makes them a power for good in the 'ommuhity. 5 CREDIT WHERE IT IS DUE Up in Oxford County, the other night, the annual warden's banquet was held, and it was attended by the usual galaxy of public men, who were there for the purpose of de- livering addresses. Many fine speeches were given, but one delivered by R. A. Baxter, Liberal member of the legislature for South Oxford, was outstanding for the fine spirit of common-sense which it displayed. Mr. Baxter, as has been said, is a Liberal, one of W. E. N. Sinclair's faithful band of supporters on the opposition side of the house. Yet almost his whole speech was de- voted to a sincere eulogy of Premier Fergu- son and members of his government. He picked out for special attention the Hon. J S. Martin, former minister of agriculture, Hon. leopold MacAulay, and Hon. w. G. Martin, and in the highest terms he prais- ed the work they had done and were doing. And then he went on, and outdid himself in his flattering references to Mr. Ferguson. This kind of thing is so unusual that it is worthy of commendation. The man who is willing to recognize the ability of his oppon- ents, and openly testify to that ability in a public way, is himself a big man, and Mr. Baxter comes within that class. It is always refreshing to find credit given where it is due, but in a case of this kind it is doubly 80. - SHOWING HOW IT IS DONE A day or two ago we made reference to the success of Herman Trelle, in winning the title of "wheat king" at the International Livestock Exposition at Chicago. A review of the whole exposition, however, shows that this was only one of many high honors which came to Canadian farmers at this great ex- position. Canadian cattle, in several breeds, and Canadian sheep, figured to an unusually large extent in the prize lists, winning cham- pionships, reserve championships, and other leading prizes to an extent which has sur- prised the competitors from all parts of the United States. Special mention might be made of the achievement of Col. Fred Deacon of Unionville in winning the special prize of $1,000 for the best two head of breeding Shorthorns in the whole show. ; Phe winning of so many honors is 'a pretty clear indication of the standing of Canadian farmers, in comparison with those of the continent as a whole. With only a fraction of the herds from which the United States can choose its animals to make up the thousands which attend the Chicago Ex- position, cousins how to breed animals that can win championships. They have shown that Cana- dians need take second place® to none: as breeders of the best type of live stock. Can- ada has every reason to be proud of the showing made at this great exposition, a showing which has greatly enhanced the re- putation of Canadian farmers as animal husbandmen of the finest type. they have shown their American. ELECTION A LONG WAY OFF A general election in Great Britain is a long way off. Lloyd George has settled that point. In a characteristic speech the other day, he stated that while he had made no agreement with the MacDonald government to keep it in power, he considered it the less- er of two evils, and would rather see it stay in power than help the Conservatives to take its place. ' This is a candidate admission on the part of Lloyd George, in a double scene. It is an admission that his party will not take part in any move to defeat the present govern- ment, and thereby force an election. 4nd it is an admission on his part that, were an election to be forced on the country at the present time, the Conservatives would be vic- torious. The hand-writing which has heen placed on the wall by the results in recent elections has been such that the weakness of the government and the growing strength of the Conservative opposition have been very apparent. : Lloyd George, however, is the master of the situation. The government stays in power or goes out, just as he dictates. Should a time come when he felt that the Liberal party had any hope of success in a general election, the government would be defeated. But it is certain that there is no hope of that occurring for a long time to come, so the lit- tle Welshman naturally feels that he is much better to be the power behind a minority government that to be merely the leader of a small minority opposition party such as his would be were the Conservatives to be voted into power with a clear majority, as would probably be the case in an early election. So the government stays in power, to carry on as best it can, and unless Lloyd George shows a decided change of heart, it would not he Sutprising to find it last out its legal term of office. WHAT IS SUCCESS The average person would scarcely con- sider that a man who had reached his seven- tieth year, and who had worked all his life for a wage which never exceeded $22.50 a week, could have been a successful man. Yet a London newspaper the other day published an interview with a miner who had that re- cord, and the title of the interview was "How I made a success of life." Judging by the material standard of making money, there was not much of suc- cess in this man's life. He probably had a hard struggle to make ends meet, to Jkeep the wolf from the door at times. He could never have been able to save very much, nor could he have had much time nor money with which to enjoy the recreations and the cultured things of life. Yet he was satisfied that he had made a success of life. Probably he was right. One can never know by what standard he measured sue- cess, but it is certain that he must have been one of those wise mortals who judge not their success or failure by the number of dollars they have in the bank. The man who has modest means can, in his service to his fellow-men, in his cheerful and optimis- tic outlook on life, by the influence of a cheerful personality that radiates sunshine wherever he goes, make his life more of a success, in a way that really counts, than the man who has made millions, but who has, by his very wealth, isolated himself from his fellows, and has cut himself off from knowing the joys of daily effort performed with satisfaction. Success does not lie in the size of a man's bank account. Rather does it lie in a life of good deeds, a life which considers others as well as self, a life which has in it that unsel- fish spirit which pours itself out in service, and finds joy in the giving, not of money in abundance, but of that sacrificial spirit which makes heroes of the most humble of men. EDITORIAL NOTES Sometimes 'people who are given credit for having a lot of patience are like that be- cause they don't know what to do. Prof. George Wrong hit very close to the mark in describing a political leader as "a man who sits on the fence with his ear to the ground and his nose to the grindstone." "I have found no appreciable defference between one so-called race and another." Charles Edward Russell, "All epoch-making revolutionary events have been produced not by the written but by the spoken word," Adolph Hitler. rr "It takes just as much courage to wash dishes three times a day as it does to go out and shoot a bear." Mrs. Herbert Hoover. "When people listen through the radio to speeches of demagogues, their instincts are not aroused as when they are in a crowd." Charles G. Dawes. "Human progress marches only when children excel their parents." ' Herbert Hoovre, "Society must learn to make intelligent use of the leisure created by electricity." Owen D, Young. Other Editor's Comments | WHO IS WORSE OFF? (Bsterhazy, Sask., Observer) With wheat selling at 5 cents & bushel or less and 8-ft. cut binders at nearly $300 the man on an un- encumbered quarter section farm is infinitely better off than the speculator who holds shares in Farm Implement Factories, Such a farmer can weather the gale but the manufacturer must unload and jet- tison his cargo if he desires to bring his ship safely to port. VALUABLE TREES (Christian Science Monitor) Figures show that Springfield, Mass., has more trees in proportion to population than any other Ame- rican city. With an appraisal value of $100 on each tree, its 25,000 trees add $2,600,000 to be counted as an added asset to the community. This would seem an excellent ex- ample for other cities to follow in adding to their valuation. Plant a tree today. MIDDLE AGE (Frank Condon) The exact moment when you turp foto middle age is when You begin to discuss your bodily ailments and failings; to mention doctors, hos- pitals, specialists and operations, and to find conversational fodder amid the deficiencies of your own teeth, adencids, tonsils or appendix. That day you have ceased to be young. NATIONAL DRAMATICS (Hamilton Herald) There is no reason why Canada should not cultivate the dramatic instinct even if it begins with low comedy and farce, for there is al- ways progress made as soon as young people discover the faculty of utterance which the stage pro- motes. i A god many really good Cana- dian plays and playlets have been written, and these can be used by amateurs in private performances. If public showings are desired, ar- rangements are not difficylt with Canadian authors, tho' sometimes publishers have to be dealt with, Every village might have its troop of players and every town should. } | Bits of Humour PHYSICIAN, HEAL THYSELF Fitzgerald--"Why the rope around the finger?"

"Yes, suh, suttinly," says Mose. "Well, can you write your name?" No, suh," said the unabashed Mose. "Ah always dictates it." FA Bits of Verse | SACRIFICE They said, 'you have only a few days more." I laughed, for the news was good; "Your pity {s wasted, friends," I said, But none of them understood. For to them the world was a happy place ~ And it seemed so hard to go; But I am paying the price of war, And my kind of hurt doesn't show. I am a man who came back ffom France : With wounds that the world can't see, With Dlasien hopes and a ruined life. There are lots of men like me. Some are pensioned but many are not; If we are, the ones who know it say, "Pull" of course, for he looks quite well," For our kind of hurts don't show. I laughed when they said that my time was short. Why not? I am not afraid. War took all the things that I held most dear. It wrecked the plans I had made. God ¥ngvy Ihave done my best, but rew Pain without glory. I go To rejoin them, my luckier pals, Where none of our hurts will show. Edna Edwards. Eye Care and Eye Strain vy C. H. Tuck, Opt. D. (Copyright, 1928) OPTICAL LENSES Part "10" Salvoc Lenses may well be rec- ommended in the cases of children and in those cases where frequent changes are not necessary they will«fill a long felt need on ac- count of fewer accidents and no replacements from broken lenses. If considering the use of this type of lenses you should have 'ie ud- vice of your optometrist and if the correction is of a permanent na- ture use it but if follow up changes are considered necossary, then use the other type of lens correction. It should not he necessary to mention the rough usage to which children subject their glasses, par- ticularly while playing, and in many cases it is a wonder that an accident of a serious nature did not occur from the broken lens. With salvoc lenses you will be in a position to eliminate less dah- ger and fewer accidents in this respect. Is there any parent, who, knowing this would not be willing to pay the extra cost of this pro- tection? Is it not good eye in- surance? (To be continued) 8. G. GOLDWAITHE, PUBLISH.

BRITAIN STARTS USING BIG PLANES Largest Fleet of Mammoth Air Liners in World Being Tested London.--TFirst flights of the largest passenger-carrying land aeroplanes in the world, the Hand- ley Page Type 42, herald incalcul- able developments in commercial flying. This great British air-liner, with space in two saloons for 38 passengers, surpasses in size all existing land-operated aircraft. One or two marine air giants are larger, but even in nature the sea-support- ed creatures grow to greater sizes than the biggest land beasts. The wew British glant is docile and easily controlled. Four en- gines, each developing up to a max. imum of some 600 horsepower drive him within a few seconds to a speed at which the immense bi- ing nearly 140 feet from tip to ip, lift him from the ground. Lad- en in the fuselage with the com- paratively light burden of three tons of scrap iron the craft rose in the space of seven seconds and, with the engines running at speed, moved through the air at a velocity of 117 miles an hour. It was flown on various combinations of engines, the pilot throttling down to idling point first one and then another, On the ground skilful control of the engines and the use of wheel brakes epables the pilot to handle the machine as easily as a small light aeroplane. In the air, safety "'auto-slot" wings ensure a full range of control and assist in making landings in a restricted Fire wings, the upper pair meas- | grea. The estimated weight of the air- craft when it is fully loaded is near- ly 13 tons. The maximum speed is expected to be 129.5 miles an hour; easy crulsing speed approximately in modern busi- | cruising' 105 miles an hour, The paying load-passengers, mail and urgent treight--will total in weight 8,160 pounds, an amount far greater than that--borpe by any other aero- planes yet built. Comfort is a predominating note in the design. The passenger sa- loons attain in furnishings a stan- dard of luxury equal to that of a Pullman raificar. Two saloons, each about 17 feet long and seven feet high, are placed fore and aft of the plane of rotation of the air- screws with a capacious luggage hold, lavatories and a refreshment bar between them. In the aft sa- loon, with accomodation for 20, smoking will be allowed. In flight the wants of the passengers will be served by a steward and a steward- ess. The crew handling the ship on commercial flights will consist of two pilots. Noise reduction previously thought impossible is gained in this big new craft. The saloons are out- side the vertical plane of the air- screws and engines, which is the re- gion where the greatest noise is heard. Further, there is no engine in the nose of the fuselage to trans- mit possible vibration and "Drum- ming" through the cabin structure; the motors are mounted' in the front (or leading) edges of the wings well away from the hull, The main portion of the fuselage is con- structed of metal, eliminating noise caused by the flapping of the usual fabric cover, with an inner skin of wood. Between the metal and the wood skins is a padding of sound insulating material. The floor fs thickly carpeted. At full speed the passengers should experience no more noise than the first class com- partments of an express train. Eight of these huge craft are or- dered by Imperial Airways for the operation of their European and Empire services at a total cost of more than $1,000,000. The first | of the fleet should be placed in ser- vice early next year on the comple- tion of exhaustive trials. Full com- plement of 42 will be carried by | the aireraft operating in the west, but over the long sections of the Empire mail routes towards India and South Africa which lie in semi- tropical regions the 'Eastern' type, with reduced passenger spaee and | increased room for mails and freight will fly. 134 cup Tillson's Health Bran, 1 cup floyr, 2 teaspoons baking powd- er, % cup brown sugar, 1 table- spoon butter, 1 cup sweet milk, 1 egg.

For a ~reater part of the flight the Prince | was himself at the controls, He also took the controls of the giant German seaplane, the DO-X, for some minutes while'the monster of the air was in England recently. | His flight in the Holt plane was | from London to Southampton and | back with his own private pilot and six other persons and on the return the Prince guided the plane to a landing at the Fairey aerodrome. The machine used has two 800-h.p. engines and it attained a speed of 120 miles an hour. In addition to piloting the ma« chine he insisted on an explanation of the amphibian gear and spent half an hour at the conclusion of the flight examining the mechan- ism. Incidentally, he got his hands covered with oil and greaze and went without his lunch. conveniently. can learn about General Electric ALL-STEEL ICTURE her on Christmas morning « « « her delight and surprise . . . her unspeak- able joy . . . when she sees your gift, a General Electric Refrigerator!
