We do not to depend on statisticians to show that Ing costs are cheaper. We are bumping them every day. . For instance, milk prices are cheaper than 'they were even in the summer time, having "been reduced twice in the last two months. 'Bread prices are cheaper than they were, and all kinds of wheat products, including "flour, which play a large part in the family . diet, are lower in price. A couple of weeks . ago the Oshawa Public Utilities: Commis- _ Sion adopted a resolution calling for a ten . per cent reduction in electric rates for the "city, and now the commissioners have fol- lowed that by effecting a ten per cent reduc- * tion in water rates. All these contributions to a lower cost of "living are gratefully received these days. . They only represent a small part of the . items which can be purchased today at less ~ cost than they could six months ago, but ~ avery little helps to make the dollar go far- ~ ther than it has done for many years. And, ~ with the dollar going further, there is every "incentive to the public to spend dollars more _ freely, so as to create new demands for the | products of the fleld and the factory, de- . mands which in the supplying will provide . employment, and help to bring the whole of © Canada back to prosperity. | INTER-PROVINCIAL TRADE A The city council of Stratford has adopted CB rather unusual, yet commendable method © of encouraging inter-provincial trade within . the Dominion of Canada. It has passed a _ resolution to the effect that Alberta coal will "be used in all the civic buildings of the city, . thereby demonstrating to the western coal ~ miners and operators that at least one On. ~ falo city is sincere in its desire to foster * closer trade relationships between the east- ern and the western provinces. "This is a splendid type of community leadership. Industrial communities in East- . ern Canada are, to some extent, dependent disposal their products. Manufactured goods from east find markets in the west. So it is natural that there should be some at- paid, in the ead, to helping the pro- the west to find markets, thus creat- of Inter-provincial trade both east- d westward, The shipment of many of coal to the east, counter-bal- return shipments of manufactured the west would be the ideal method g up a trade within the Dominion would help to solve its economic pro- are difficulties in the way, of .

He is Ren. fectly open to be convinced that what has been done is all right, so long as all the other things he wants are done as well, This fellow Gandhi, apparently, has a rather dog- matic mind, which leads to a belief that everyone else is out bf step except himself, and that everything will be all right only when the other Indian leaders and rulers come into line with his ideas. In other words, he is open to be convinced, providing he can convince all the others that they are wrong. \ EDITORIAL NOTES Overheard in a busy Oshawa store on Sat. urday night: "Who says the people of Osh- awa are hard up?" The two young men who are jointly trying to lead the Ontario Liberal party are giving a wonderful demonstration of the fact that talk is cheap. --~ W. E. N. Sinclair retired from the contest "for the Ontario Liberal leadership because he felt the party wanted a change. And to say that it certainly got it is putting the situation very mildly. Thawing snows and chilly breezes, Punctuate your words with sneezes. Whatever opinions may be of Sir Thomas White's ability as a finance minister, we have to agree that he has a legitimate claim to being a poet.

Other Editors' Comment CANADA'S TRADE WITH USA, (Hamilton Spectator) Forty per cent of the American foreign branch factories are established in Canada; yet we buy twice as much from our neighbours as they buy from us, In view of the exclusive policy favoured by the Ameri- can Goternment, there seems to be only one thing to do~and that is to follow suit. Things are much too , une-sided as they are to admit of any other course, and it is gratifying to find thoughtful observers in the United States beginning to doubt the wisdom of set- ting so furious a pace.

D. (Copyright, 1028) PART "2" Normal eyes enjoy single binocular vision. That is, each eye has a dis tinct image of the object viewed and the two images are interpretated as one or fused into one. In order that both images may be seen as one both eyes must be directed towards the same object at the same time. It would not. do for one eye to fix an object and the other to wander off in some other direction. When this condition obtains the eyes sce double: The position and the movements of the eyes are controlled by muscles attached to the outside of the eye- balls. If when looking straight ahead at a distant object these muscles are in a state of rest, the eyes are In "balance", or orthophoric, But fre. quently they are not in balance and one or more of the muscles must be continually exerting an effort to hold the eyes 'straight. When this condi- tion exists the eyes are out of bal ance or heterophoric, Muscle imbalance is one of the reatest causes of strain and suffer- ng. It is often true that errors of vision cause this imbalance and when the error iy corrected. the imbalance corrects itself, but frequently special treatnient is necessary to restore nore mal balance with comfort, Two very good eyes may be a poor and touble- some pair of eyes if through muscle imbalunee they do not work in har- meny. This is an error that requires eareful investigation and skill in the handling but like most other eye troubles can be corrected by the pro- per optical treatment and attention, WONDERS OF RADIO ARE EXPLAINED T0 THE ROTARY CLUB (Continued from page 1) industry developing on a commer- cial soale faster than other, Although there were twenty-one manufacturers of radio sets in Can- ada the fleld was not crowded, sald the speaker, who pointed out that development was being hindered to some extent by the fuct that the Ra. dio Corporation of America held tions tended to facilitate radio de- tions tended to facilitate rado devel. velopment, A tromendous amounj of research was going on and there wan no doubt that the United States had a great influence on the trend of radio In Canada. The quality of transmission and reception, said Mr. Oxley, had ad vanced to a remarkable stage, al- though more progress had been mado with transmission sets than with receiving sets. For this rea- son, the receiving sets were usually to blame when there was poor re- ception. It was now possible for people in any part of the world tv communicate by radio with people Nr yhere else, and he felt that int he future radio would be devel to such an extent that it would be possible to have apparatus, capable P CT GUIDANCE « Trust he Lord with all thine heart: nd 4 5 uite thine own finde. .

Radio A Medical Science Turning to the part which radio was Playing in medicine and sur- gory, Mr, Oxley amazed his hearers by explaining the effect of radio waves in combatting fevers, in mak- ing possible a new type of surgeon's knife which would eliminate many of the dangers of surgery and even went so far to say that certain types of rays had been produced which would determine sex many months before birth, and which would change hereditary traits in organisms. Only the fringe had been touched to this type of radio research, he said, and it was bound to be developed in new flelds in the tuture, The thanks of the club were ex- pressed to Mr. Oxley by Stewart Storie, who testified to the keen en- joyment which the members had had in listening to the address. TRINIDAD FOLK BECOME THRIFTY Islanders Now Save Up For "A Rainy Day" Port-of-Spain, British West In- dies.--Trinidad people, despite the sovere financial and industrial de. pression through which they are passing, are becoming more thrifty than they were formerly, Gone are the days when the Islanders thought only of the day in which they lived. They are preparing with earnestness for wet days now. To the persuasion and influence os Friendly and Co-operative Societies this is due to a large extent. There also an appregiable anxiety among the poorer classes of the pop ulation to own their own homes, be- cause they have a good deal of diffi- culty in getting houses to rent, and this has had its influence in connec tion with the recently acquired hab- it of thrift. There are at present more than 300 Friendly and Co- operative Societies in the Island of Trinidad, according to Hon. Dr. A. H. McShine, President of the Trini. dad Co-operation Bank, in an inter- view with the Trinidad Guardian, and about $192,000 are distributed annually by them as sick relief, doe- tors' fees, medicines, weekly allow- ances, and burials. "People are be- ginning to appreciate the need and use of money, and rather than spend money idly they are joining these institutions to tide them over their dull days." MTH BIRTHDAY OF NOTED CHURCHMAN Head of Church Army Cele- brates by Entertaining Dis- abled War Veterans London, Feb. 10.--Prebendary Crallle, Head of the Church Army, "| celebrated his 84th birthday with a luncheon party attended by 84 dis- abled ex-Servicemen . from the Church Army work-shops, and 10 of the Prebendary's felow members of the Order of the Companion of Honor. Prebendary Carlile, who fis an honorary Doctor of pivinity of sos ronto, founded the Church Army in the slums 6f Westminster in 1882, ita enelnl negenciea heing conducted much on the lines of the Salvation Army, It is Interesting to remem- ber that some time before the Church Army was founded nogotia« tions were put on foot to incornors ate the Salvation Army into the Church of England. These negotia« tions were in the hands of the late Archbishop Davidson and General Bramwell Booth, but they proved ineffective. The Church Army, like the Salvation Arniy, has ramifica- tions now in many parts of the Em. pire, and possesses an elaborate or- ganization in connection with Over- seas Settlement. In the early days of the Church Army, Prebendary Carlile received such handling in a London Slum that he was laid aside for six months. "But I got him in the end," the Prebendary told the luncheon party the other day, "'al- though it was 20 years afterwards." 'TRADE CRISIS HURTS MINES IN RHODESIA Bulawayo, Southern Rhodesia, Feb. 10.---~That the world trade crisis has hurt the mines in South. ern Rhodesia by the production falling oft considerably is shown in a réview of the mining indus. try during 1930 given by J.
