H. Stevenson, medical superintendent of the Ontario Hospital at Whitby, in an address to the Men's Brother- hood of Simcoe Street United Church at its regular monthly ban- quet held in the church Sunday school last night. Dr. Stevenson has addressed several Oshawa audi- ences and. each time he has been most interesting and constructive in his remarks. The bad effect of worry upon the human body was stressed by the speaker. He pointed out that dis- turbed emotions have an influence upon the heart, the stomach and other organs. Continued worry causes an increase in the blood pres. sure and is harmful to the whole constitution. Worry causes loss of poise and emotional balence. "We take certain exercises and follow certain rules to keep ourset. ves physically fit,"" Dr. Stevenson said. 'It is also true that there are certan rules which may follow to keep ourselves mentally fit. It is well known that a sound body is an aid in having a sound mind." We all want to live 1ivas of hap piness and usefulness, tho rpeaker stated in continuing. Happiness is a sign of a healthy mind and in this connection he pointed out the value of having a sense of humour. We sho !'d never take ourselves too seriou-1 but attempt to see the hu- mour in life. "It doesn't hurt to kid ourselves along a bit," he said.

Professor Edgar was Introduced by F. IL. Fowke, who recalled the fact that the late Sir James Edgar, | Professor Edgar's father, was a| well-known cltizen of Oshawa some | years ago. Sir James had repre- sented the then riding of West On- tario, in the House of Commons, which for a time he was speaker. The lecturer traced the history of the novel from early times to the present. He recalled the saying of | Mill in Victoria's reign that any | writer who dod not fall in with the | conventional beliefs of the day wus | a social outlaw. Later novelists, in- fluenced by Ibsen, could afford to defy such conventions, with {m- punity. Then came the "naughty | nineties," when libertines like Os- | car Wilde were tolerated. But it was left to Writers of the present | century to carry out a thorough | house cleaning. Reformatory zeal was not, however, a particular mark of the modern spirit.

The modern writer, too; loved to give a minute analysis of his main char- acters, but this often resulted in a loss of narrative vigor. Works of men like Hemingway we re largely in dialogue.

McLaughlin, presi- dent of the General Motors of Can~ ada, Limited, as a result of the order of the federal govergment fixing & discount rate of 20 per cont. for duty purpeses on all cars entering Canada. In a statement to The Times today, Mr. McLaugh- lin saw in the order an encourag- ing factor for the whole automo- bile industry in Canada, and while the full effect of it will not be felt until normal times return, the gen- eral trend will be to create more employment and stimulate the au- tomohile industry in particular and the whole of the industrial fa- brie of Canada in general. "The establishing of a fixed dis- count rate of twenty per cent. from the list prices for American-made motor cars entering Canada, upon which price the duty is assessed, will have an encouraging . effect upon the industry in the Domin- fon, and under normal conditions, will tend to relieve unemployment substantially," said Mr. McLaugh- lin. Mr. McLaughlin expressed the view that the new change in the basis for tariff tazation would bring about a larger production of automobiles in the factories of the Dominion, therefore resulting, in reduced prices for Canadian-made cars, through economy of operation and other beneficial factors of en- larged activity. The same view was taken hy H. A. Brown, vice-president and gen- eral manager of the General Mo- tors of Canada, Limited, in a tele- phone conversation from Ottawa. He commended the decision of the federal cabinet and stated that the whole automobile industry in Can- ada should be particularly happy over: the news, Low Protection Mr. McLaughlin drew attention |to the fact that Canada had the least protection of any country in the world for domestic made motor cars and trucks, and a fixed dis- count rate on the list price of im- ported cars, such as has been set by the order-in-council would per- mit the healthy growth of the Can- adian automobile industry. Mr. McLaughlin was particularly pleaged with the prospect which this measure opened up for the em- ployment of hundreds of workers in Oshawa, although stating that the improvement would be gradual, and he did not teet that the dealers (Continued on page 3) APPLE GROWERS HELD MEETING AT NEWCASTLE Profitable Addresses Given by Professors on Growing and Marketing of Apples Newcastle, Feb, 20--Northumber- fand and Durham Fruit Growers held one of the most successful Annual | Meetings on record Wednesday at the Community Hall, Newcastle.
