"WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1931 > L} A CREDIT TO OSHAWA The report of the inspector of the Ontario department of education on the Oshawa Col- ~ legiate must be very gratifying to all of those who have had a part in building up ' the educational system of the city, and to the citizens generally. Through the whole report, there was a strain of praise not usu- _ ally found in official documents of this kind, one that reflects credit on the board of edu- , cation, the principal and the staff of the school. The principal of the institution, A. E. O'Neill is entitled, perhaps, fo the major share of the credit for the splendid things said about it. One of the outstanding feat- ures which was commended was the organ- ization of the school, a factor which is en- tirely under the jurisdiction of the principal. The Collegiate and Vocational Institute is comparable to a large industry, for it involv- es over 1,000 students, with their staff of teachers and instructors. It is no small task to organize that into a smoothly-working machine, but that is what Principal O'Neill has been able to do, so, in expressing ap- preciation of the gratifying nature of the inspector's report, it is only natural that one 'should pay a special word of tribute to him, and to give him full credit for what he has been able to accomplish. RADIO ADVERTISING It is interesting to note that wherever radio is discussed by men associated with the business, the general feeling expressed is that there is too much advertising talk on the air. Alan B. Oxley, radio engineer of the Williams Piano Company, expressed this thought in his enlightening and instructive address to the Oshawa Rotary Club on Mon- day, when he named this as one of the faults in present-day broadcasting, and as one of the reasons why there was a demand for government control of radio. This thought is echoed in the minds of hundreds of thousands of radio listeners, and one would imagine that those who are responsible for this condition would take heed of the murmurings of discontent which are to be heard. Frankly, the great majority of the radio listeners want entertainment when they tune in, and they are disgusted when they have to listen to long diatribes "of an advertising character. Radio would be much more popular than it is now if some means were devised for eliminating a "large proportion of the advertising which takes up the time of radio stations, and the sooner those who are in control of radio re- alize that this would be of their advantage, the better will it be for the industry in which they are interested. THE NEW GOVERNOR-GENERAL Unlike scme of our editorial contempor- aries, we are going to be quite honest about the appointment of the new governor-gener- al, and admit that until the despatch telling of his appointment arrived from Ottawa on Monday morning, we had never heard of the Earl of Bessborough. We thought at first that it was an error in wire transmission, "and that the Earl of Deshorough had been appointed, but later despatches confirmed the first name, and, even at the expense of being twitted regarding our ignorance of the British nobility, we had to confess that we + knew absolutely nothing about the new gov- * ; British family, " @rnor-general, We asked about twenty or information about him, but they also had to confess ignorance, so we felt a * little better about our own position. However, after scanning the later despat- "ches, and looking up his record, we find that + the Earl of Bessborough would appear to be . admirably equipped for the tasks which lie . before him. A lawyer by profession, he has n a soldier, a parliamentarian, and " a an industrialist. That makes him an all-round man, a man well trained in the various phases of public life and private entetprise, and this, €oupled ith fats is a member of a distin 0 that be should make him a worthy of His Majesty the King in He is particularly fortunate in that his wife is French and a Parisian. make both of them very popu- ve ledge which is now val e realize that he is a his coming to this country with keen interest. EDITORIAL NOTES The Lindsay Post, in crediting John Gib- son with having been elected chairman of the board of health for the 144th consecutive year, was looking & long way ahead. There are a lot of people whoewill be wishing that their salaries had been as se- cure from reduction as those of the school teachers. i Oshawa children hear with dismay Board refuses longer holiday. The statement of the Rev. S. C, Jarrett that all Communists should be deported will find an echo in the minds of all loyal British- ers. . It looks as if Oshawa is going to have a horticultural society. Make sure of it by attending the organization meeting next Monday. Oshawa will have a real test of its good- will when the Legion convention is held here in August. Billets in private homes will have to be found for at least 200 of the dele- gates, Sap was running 46 years ago this week, says an old-timer. Now, however, we find saps running--their cars all over the roads. It must be a dull day for Attorney-Gen- cral Price when no new charges are hurled at him by the Liberal party leaders. There can be no finer act of Christian char- ity than the providing of a home for one of the homeless children being cared for in the children's shelter. Oshawa has good reason to be thankful to the federal government for its contributions to relief employment and direct relief. It would have been a terrible winter without them, and with them conditions are being made much easier for hundreds of families. Even zero weather has its compensations. The Scot who was grumbling that putting anti-freeze in his car was a waste of money is ready to admit it was a good investment. BITS OF VERSE A SMILE "After all, the city government is just like a tree-- we officials are merely the branches, but you people are the roots and the trunk."

It is famous A niotorist was giving a lift to an elderly lady. After speeding along for some time he turned to her and asked: "Where did you say you were going?" "As a matter of fact I' was going the other way, but I didn't want to hurt your feelings," came the reply. A REAL ROLL Director: "Now, in this picture you are to have - the leading roll." Ex-Ham Actor: "The leading role, er--er--um--" Director: "Yeah, you are to be the first to roll down this 300-foot cliff." HARDLY There was a timid knock at the door. "If you please, kind lady," said the beggar, "I've lost my right leg." "Well, it ain't here," exclaimed the woman as the door was slammed in his face." THE OTHER WAY ABOUT Old Tammas M'Gilvey was a grocer in a secluded little Scottish village, and he was earnestly going about his business when a little old woman entered his shop. "Did ye no' dismiss ma Jad this morning after he had served you for a week as errand-boy?" she asked, "Yes", said the grocer, "I did. 1 am sorry to say that he was far too slow and lazy." "Weel, said the woman, "It's like this. He's rather to be tied, He's whit they ca' a somnambulist--walks in is sleep, yc ken--" "Yes, yes!" interrupted the grocer, "That's all right! [ could get on quite well with a lad who walked in lis sleep, but what I can't do is to put up with one who sleeps in his walk!" . A Scots girl obtained a situation in the South. One day her mistress asked her what parti.ular part of Scotland she came from. #1 come from near Abérdeen," was the reply. "Oh," said her mistress, "I'm gorr-- you didn't tell me so before. I had some friends staying there, and I would have asked you if you knew them."

D (Copyright, 1928) STERIOSCOPIC VISION Part One "Radient energy vibrating in certain frequencies will stimulate nerve endings in the retina, and these disturbances are transmitted through certain relays to certain portions of the brain bringing forth sensations which may be translated in terms of vision." An imperfect image leads to imperfect mental interpretation and a long uncorrected habit when mentally considered as perfect may be very hard to change. The eas; corrections have been very fully considered by me in different ser les of articles appearing for some time past, I consider them the easier cases because their control was instrumental through the cor- rection of the patient's vision. There are exist certain cases whose controlinig features exist in the mental interpretation more deeply and after this capacity is measured and its error noted we have taken the first step in estab- lishing the habit of eeeing cor- rectly. When we more fully exer- cise this capacity the brain will retain what is it has interpretated and a desire is created. Under the control of this desire the brain will assist the eyes in retaining the newly acquired condition be- cause of several features which if any are absent, are very anxiously retained if even momentarily through artificial meany brought into play. (To be continued) COL F. CHAPPELL WAS SPEAKER AT KIWANIS MEETING (Continued from page 1) ily's ancient heraldic crest, "Awake! 'Tis Day!" and declared that it was always "today," and that it was today that we should consider most. "Today we have buildings and achitecture as beautiful and as substantial as the ancient temples or pyramids; we think back upon the old hox-like schools and re- member that the curriculum, too, was box-like, hemming in the pu- pils to one hard-and-fast set of rules and ruts. As a result of that today we have the great problem of s0 much skilled labor," he de- clared. Fach age had its particular pro- blems, but each difficulty avant. ually brought about its own pallia- tive. Then. it must be admitted, the palliative for one problem sometimes - brought about another ono. For instance the advance of modern surgery has lengthened life, and increased knowledge has hrought about. a decreased infant mortality rate. But together these have brought the great problem rep t------ pried bio Bh THE SUPREME RULER--Exalt ys the Lord our God, and worship at hig footstool; for he is holy.--Psa, PRAYER -- Help us 0 proclaim Thee Lord and RD in action as well as in words. each, of' increasing population on the earth, History Sure Guide History was our one sure guide for future progress, said Col, Chap- pel.

"We need both tho vision of the optimist and the steadying hand of 'the pessimist in this world, but each of us should rea- lize that good things can only be obtained by work," said the speak- er, who closed by quoting the verses beginning, 'Make work thy pleasure." .

FORMER OSHAW HAN PRAISED (Continued from page 1) thirteen years he entered a printing office to learn the trade and worked in Brooklin and with the Vindicator in Oshawa for five years, after which he returned to school in Osh- awa. After graduating from High School he attended a teacher train- ing school in Whitby. In 1888 he paid a visit to relatives in Flint, Michigan, and from there went to Lansing to visit a friend. As there was a great demand for printers at the time he again took up his trade, in which he continued until 1897, in which year he became associated with the Supreme court of Michi- gan. His advancement was rapid, and Auatiy resulted in his appoint- ment as Supreme Court Reporter in 1918 and has edited fifty-seven vol- umes of the Michigan reports. In 1891 Mr. Cooper was united in marriage to Miss Frances God- dard, of Oshawa. To them five cni- dren were born of whom two are living. In religious circles Mr, Cooper has been prominent in the work of the Central Methodist Epis- copal church in Lansing acting as Sunday School superintendent and teacher. Besides his work of compiling volumes of law, Mr. Cooper found ime to take an active part in other 'orms of business. go he was one of the organizers of he South Lansing Keal wstate Com- any.

ORDO BRYDSON 'S TOP SCORER FOR AMERICAN LEAGUE ~ olfer-Ho-keyist From To- ronto Is Setting Fast Pace Duluth, Minn., Feb. 11.--With close to two months of campaign- ing still ahead of him, Gordon Brydson, Chicago Shamrock wing- or, today neared the American Hockey League's scoring record of last year. Playing lis first sea- son in the mid-west "major" loop. the flashy golfer-hockeyist from Toronto had consclidated his posi- tion at the head of the leaguc's sharpshooters even though his team wandered through luckless days. Brydson, one of hockey"s most sought and fought over sons, has compiled a point total of 29 made up of 23 goals and six assists. He was seven peints in front of Leo LaFrance. fleet Tulsa wingman, LaFrance, early season leader, was second with 18 goals and four as- slats. Teammates of the flashy Bryd- son who came to Chicago from Hamilton, of the Internation League and chose to stay in th outlawed circuit rather than por- form in the Natirnzl League, are in close attendance. Bobby Burns, hig front-line pal, is in third poei- tion and Donnie MacFayden in fifth, Larry Goyer, playing with « tal}. end club, last season, led all scor- ers with a total of 38 points, 27 goals and 11 assists. Brydsua ts certain to better the mark this year and Goyer, slap-shot expert from Belleville, Ont.. is far out of the running. Again with a last place club, Larry is unable to muster the ef- fectiveness that was his in the last hopeless campaign. Burns, a former Owen Sound funior, who twice was turned back from the National League, after 'rvouts with the Chicago Black Hawks, has scored 17 points-- 11 goals and six assists. One of the fastest skating players in hockey, Burns is enjoying his best season since turning professional. He starred with Preston in the son- for Ontario Hockey Association be- fore joining the Minneapolis Mil- ers. Back of Burns Is Gus Marker, Tulsa forward, with 16 points, while MacFayden and Burr Wil- liams, husky Tulsa defenceman, are tied for fifth position with 15 Seventh place is shared by Ken- ny Dunfield, Kansas City winger, Frank Shennard, Tulsa centre, and Freddy Gordon, big Minneapolis aniper. Gordon, former Selkirk. Man., star and captain of the luckless Millers. continues to score even though his team has ceased to win. Ronnie Moffatt, speedy Toronto kid, who has played both forward and defence for Tulsa, has figured in 12 scores and Jack Leswick, anne Printh star. whe came wp 'from Regina, has 11 points.

RAIL EXTENSION NEFED T0 BRING PEACE IN CHINA Former Advisor to Chinese Government Says People Should Be Brought Closer Together Winnipeg, Man., Feb, 11.--Con- struction of railways throughout China will play a leading role in bringing the people of the great nation together, reducing the strife that has torn the country inta many opposing factions. J. Lockhart, former advisor to the Chinese government rallway ad- ministration, delivered this opin- lon during his recent visit to Win- nipeg, enroute to the Old Country ufter 22 years in the Orlent. The peace of the Orient--the "hinese nation--will be partially "uflt on the rallway development he believes.

Mr. Lockhart declared Canada could find a market in China for electrical machinery, rallway equipment, automobiles and, for 2 short time, canned goods, wheat { and flour. Mr, Lockhart added, however, ,that in the not far dist- ant future China would be produc- ing more than enough wheat fom ite own people.
