SINCLAIR'S ATTITUDE A few days ago we made comment on the attitude of the premier of Great Britain in _mecepting the proposals of the leaders of the Liberal opposition for helping to solve the 'unemployment problem. Now we have a case of a similar situation existing much nearer home. In the provincial legislature the other, W.E.N. Sinclair, leader of the Lib- eral opposition, made a speech which will long be remembered in the annals of that body. As leader of the opposition, he might ~ have been expected to launch out into a ti- rade of criticism, and to move an amendment to the government's motion to adopt the ad- dress in reply to the speech from the throne. Yet he did no such thing. Mr, Sinclair's speech showed that he was more concerned with the problems confront . ing the agricultural sections of Ontario than he was with playing politics, that he was more anxious to give whatever assistance lay within the power of the party he repre- sents to the government in dealing with the troubles which have beset the agricultural industry. In brief, he'showed a real sense of responsibility in laying aside the garb of critic, and assuming that of the statesman who is anxious to place himself at the dis- posal of his province, without thought of pol- "dtical strategy, in an effort to make condi- tions better for the people of rural Ontario, Those who know Mr, Sinclair best will re- mlize his sincerity as he made this offer of cooperation to fhe government. It will be 'interesting to note the manner in which it is received. One would imagine that it would be welcomed by Premier Henry, who is sound enough in his ideas to know that even out of the ranks of the Liberal party some good suggestions might come. In time of national "or provincial stress, such as the present, men ought to pool their resources of knowledge and intellect, and sit down at a common table to consider ways and means of helping the situatioi. That is exactly what Mp, Sin- elair proposes, and it rests with the govern- ment to decide whether it will accept the of- fer, or whether it will use the time-honored method of playing politics rather than have anything to do with ideas which emanate from the opposition benches. A PLEA FOR TOLERANCE The plea for tolerance towards the foreign- speaking population of this country, made by Joe Calder at an inter-city meeting of Rotar- fans here on Tuesday night, is worthy heed- ing. He knew that the plea was needed when he asked his hearers'to teach their children to be tolerant of those who come from other lands, and to refrain from calling them the disrespectful names which are often used. The idea that a foreigner, or, to use a bet- fer term, a New Canadian, is a being to be despised, is all too prevalent. In many places there is a mistaken impression that people who come from European countries are all Communists, and as such are not entitled to any respect or sympathy. That idea, of course, is erroneous. True, many of the Com- munist leaders are men from other countries, ~ but that does not mean that all who come rom other countries are Communists. We have examples of that in Oshawa, which has - a somewhat substantial foreign population. Hundreds of people of foreign birth live here. and the majority of them have the qualities to make splendid citizens, but they are not ~ given much encouragement. We have still a long way to go, apparently, 'before the idea of the brotherhood of men is able to wipe out distinctions of race and na- tionality. But the plea for tolerance was ~ timely, and should be impressed on all citi- _ zens of Oshawa, as a plea to them to think of the New Canadians in their midst, so that "they might not regard them all as enemies of society, but value them at their true worth, and welcome those who are worthy of being welcomed into the citizenship of the 'eommunity and the country. : 4 WELL DONE Curling is a real men to play it. This is all the more true of the men, who, in the keenest of competi- tion, win the highest laurels, to attain the only attained by champions. And g watched with interest the rink skip- ped by Frank Michael, with William Karn, ) Canning and E. A, Parsons as his 'aides, at the Toronto bonspiel, we cannot saying to its members, "Well Done." that great bonspiel in Toronto there were - "344 rinks in competition. At the end of the second day's play, only six rinks were unde- Heated, and Frank Michael's rink was one of A cmt bt 1. ib / grand old game, and it takes" these. It had won five hard games in suc- cession, Then yesterday, two more games were. won, both against rinks which had pre- viously not. been defeated. That put the Oshawa players right into the forefront, gave them a place in the hall of curling fame, even although they were beaten in their eighth game. ; The curlers of the Oshawa Club are proud of Frank Michael and his rink, and they have cause to be. And joining with them in their congratulations, The Times would just like to say again that it takes real men to play the grand old game of curling, and better men still to play it the way it was played at Toronto by the representatives of Oshe awa. EDITORIAL NOTES It is very significant that it did not take the minister of pensions and national health long to rescind his relief-reducing plans when the organized veterans of Canada got into action. The impression some motorists have of a repair shop is that it is a place where they have a mechanic and six accountants. Peterboro is raising a community relief fund. We can only hope that city will be as successful in its effort as Oshawa was. "Do your income tax filing early," says the St. Thomas Times Journal editorial column, Now what could have been the matter with the editor that he had to write that one in the 'month of February. One thing about this weather is that it keeps us guessing what is coming next. The coming events date-book records that Canada's greatest all-talking show is due to start on March 12, Now that the Jews have expressed satis- faction with Premier MacDonald's Palestine policy, it won't be long until the Arabs find that it is all wrong. Other Editors' Comment SIR. JOHN A'S CAB HIRE (Vancouver Province) The matter of cabinet ministers' motor cars re- calls an incident in the life of Sir John A. Macdon- ald. In the public accounts committee when Sir John was head of the government, someone ques- tioned an item for cab hire for the prime minister, Sir John made a dignified reply. "I am too poor to keep a carriage of my own,' he said, "and too old to walk." Needless to say therc was no further com- ment on the item," Fr ---- GOOD OLD LOVE INTEREST (Mount Forest Confederate) The school children of Dumfries on being asked what gort of films they liked best rather astonished their interrogators.

One of the greatost handicaps to the future happiness and pros- perity of a child is allowed to grow up with uncorrected strabismus or squint, It is harder for any per. son so handicapped to obtain a sit- uation, harder to do business and harder to mix in soclety, This condition usually common- ces at the age of two or three years or as soon as the child learns the value of true vision, The causes are many and various and the result is the normal relation between accommodation and con vergence being disturbed and the weak fusion faculty cannot right the condition and double vision ensues, Tho oyes may deviate up, out or in and comfortable vision is ob- tained at the expense of the de- viating eye and the image in the deviating eye is suppressod or dis- regarded and may in time be en- ticely lost through non use. The correction consists in correcting any existing error, re-ostahlishing fusion, and developing vision in the poor eye. Upon the develop ment of vision and fusion, the cor- rection entirely depends, and the earlier the treatment. is com- menced, the better are the pros- pects of success, (To be continued) 2 to €D, .WAITZ 9 THAT the complexity of modern life increases its demand upon the charitable public, There are many people at the present time, through no fault of their own, largely dependent upon the generous promptings of {ne dividual's human hearts, Practiced in the right spipit, there is no more truly religious exercise known to man than alding unfortunates, At the present time the Red Cross is carrying on a campaign for a wider manifestation of pube lie sympathy in its work.

To the Red Cross the sick and | sufforing are a challenge to the greatest and most exalted of hu. man {instincts and devotion, and the earnestness with which they are carrying out their labors have established them firmly in the af- foction of all, ' THE RED CROSS SEEKS MORE SOLID FINANCIAL SUPPORT AND THERE 18 NO QUESTION BUT THE PEOPLE WILL RE- SPPOND IN A LIBERAL MANNER.

The idep may or may not have been quite sound. At any rate, tho census takers had a job and they sallled forth with little debate us to whether or not man has any humanity for man. When' a person misses a meal he becomes more serious. An absence of two or threo consecutive meals is apt to produce a certain irrita- tlon,and when 24 honrs Or more pass without food the spirit of geni- ality is not. Then again, many un- employed persons are married and theso individuals frequently have children. An imposing sum results when lack of sustenance for heads of families is added to the know | lodge that offspring are suffering from similar undernourishment, More over, phases of the situation such as unpald rent, impoverishea dwellings and inadequate clothing are not to be lightly considered. The truth of these conclusions found agreement with one census taker ax he was being chased down 0 West End street by a jobless tn dividual who, refusing to be ques- ttoned, had seized a knife with the too apparent intention of carving himself some meat; Another gatherer of these inter. esting statistics had gone three weeks without a seratech, Fellow workers regarded him enviously, He had one page of his questionnaire finished and only a few calls to make.

Meditation The "Beautiful Book" of Bt. Luke's gospel makes the Christ~ fan era to begin with a burst of gong, In Acts and the Epistles there oceur what seem to be snatches from early hymne, One of the earliest pagan reports about the Christians tells that they woro accustomed to meet in the morning and sing hymns of praise to Christ. And the Church has sung its way down through the centurios. The great revivals have borne witness In song. What would John Wesley have been without hig brother Charles? Or Moody without Sankey? How would our faith languish without its great, sweel hymns! When wo cast down these hymns lft us as on wings; when we are wayward they recall us to memories of better days.
