Tresidder, representative, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1, 1931 TEMPERANCE EDUCATION | The decision of the Oshawa board of edu- / eation to permit scientific temperance edu- cation in the public schools of the city is to be commenced. With the people of Ontario . 'apparently wedded for some time to come to the policy of government sale of liquor, the hope for keeping the future generations away from intoxicating beverages and stim- ulants lies in educating them as to the evils of strong drink. There is no better place in which this education can be given them in the public schools of the city, and e board has taken a step in the right di- rection in making this possible. 'There is little likelihood that there will be * any criticism of this decision. It seems strange, but it is hard to find anyone who is opposed to temperance and temperance edu- cation, even although those favoring it may themselves be heavy drinkers. No man, no matter how fond he may be of his liquor, 'wants to see his children tempted by it, and if he can do anything to keep them away from its perils, he is likely to do it, so long as it does not involve his own indulgence. It is regrettable, of course, that so many fathers are not willing to set an example in temperance to their own children, but the next best thing is to see that the children are given sufficient information as to the evils of liquor to keep them away from it, and those bring about a more sober genera- tion within the next ten or twenty years, Temperance education means building for the future, and that is exactly what the Oshawa board of education is seeking to do in allowing it to be given in the schools un- der its jurisdiction. «4 CAUSE FOR CONGRATULATION The report of the inspector on the voca- tional department of the Oshawa Collegiate and Vocational Institute is a very satisfac- tory one. It shows that, although this de- partment of the institution has been in oper- ation for only two years, it is functioning very effectively, and is providing splendid training. for the boys' and girls of Oshawa who prefer this type of education to purely 3 _ academic work, 3 fis ty Ev, + It usuglly takes many years to build up an efficient organization to operate a school of this type, but under the guidance of Prin- cipal O'Neill, this has been accomplished in & comparatively short period. It is apparent "$00, that the work of organization is still going on, for the board of education has just decided to establish a course in electrical en- Bineering, to be started at the beginning of fall terms. This should be a valuable gourse, one for which there is an ever-grow- ing demand, and the board is keeping step with the requirements of those who seek Vocational education by establishing it. © 'On the whole, the people of Oshawa can © eongratulate themselves that they have such & school in the city, providing training in various trades and vocations. for the youth of the city. And they are to be congratulat- ed, too, on having it so efficiently managed that, although only in existence for two years, it has earned the sincere compliments of the departmental inspector. SCHOOLBOY HOWLERS At is generally humor sometimes comes from the most un- } Bapected sources, from the fact that the Rumorists haven't the slightest idea they ~ are being funny, In this respect it is dif- y t to surpass the schoolboy howlers which admitted that the best © are issued from time to time. An exchange prints the following : _ Cardinal Wolsey invented motorcars ~ In the Civil War the success of the Parlia- 'mentarians was due to Cromwell's Insides. 'The difference between a King and a President is that the King is the son of his father, but a President isn't, Semolina is a musical instrument. ; _ A layette is a workman who builds houses. La Belle Savauge means the wild bell, known in England as the blue bell. The Kodak is the Bible of the Moham- 'medians. ~ Lucre is a kind of drink. Some people call it filthy. and 72+ A seer is a sort of shecow. St. Paul's is really a refuge for the book- "makers of Paternoster Row, The cow's teeth are made into violin strings. wiih ~The best "howlers," it must be confessed, re those which in some curious way do ex- press the truth, such as "Holland is a low g country and is dammed all around." "A 4 geyser is a piece of floating ice that times reaches hoiling point," and, perhaps best of all, "Tinned salmon are caught in Columbria." ; EDITORIAL NOTES Aldermen want Ben E. Tate and his associates to take a definite option on prop- erty at the harbor. Ben Tate and his as- sociates want this option. So there should be no difficulty in getting together. The large amount of horticultural educa- tion that is now being given the people of Oshawa should have good results in bigger and better gardens. "Blessed are the Peacemakers" should apply very forcibly to Judge Morson of Tor- onto, who managed to effect a reconcilation between Mayor Stewart and Chief Draper. The fact that the schools where the New Canadian Children attend have the highest attendance records is very significant, from more than one angle. The Rotary Club is going to observe the anniversary of Vimy Ridge. As years pass, more and more attention is being paid to the achievements of Canada's army in the Great War. The fact that the Oshawa Public Library is one of the busiest places in the city speaks well for the reading habit of its people, Extension of the time for unemployment relief work and direct relief assistance from the federal and provincial governments is good news for those still out of work. "Not until-a new race of artistic produc- ers is discovered will artistic. films be pro- duced."--George Bernard Shaw. Other Editors' Comment REGULATING RADIO (Financial Post) That the present government does mot intend to burn down good houses because there are spots on the wall paper is shown by the 'decision of Mr. Bennett and his colleagues not to go ahead with nationalization of radio. That it intends, however, to rub some of the spots off the wall paper i8 shown by the new regulations regarding the use of disc records in radio broadcasting. There are no weaknesses in the present private broadcasting of radio programs that can not be re- medied without involving the scrapping of existing methods of ownership, operation and control. Otta- wa has naturally refrained from exerting too much golicing authority over radio broadcasting but some easure of regulation is essential in view of the fact that the licenses to operate radio stations must be limited in number and are eagerly sought after, The listening public would stand behind any fur- ther move by the Government to regulate the amount of direct advertising over the air in Canada, Such direct advertising has been increasing of late. Ap- parently the. decline in business generally has urged many advertisers to do more to make their programs effective, as direct selling media. When this has been attempted by means of long-winded selling talks it has merely created ill-will for the companies using them. FOOLISH OBSESSION (Toronto Mail and Empire) The idea seems to be prevalent amongst hosts of school children that it is beneath their dignity to take their studies seriously. Boys and girls at the primary and secondary schools and even at the un- iversity, have assumed a novel pose in this regard, They seem afraid to be regarded by their classmates ag studious. According to the new dogma, sports and amusements are everything and lessons nothing. We imagine, however, that many of those who boast most loudly about their abstinence from text books do some very hard plugging behind the scenes, where nobody can sce them at work, In any event, this new-fangled obsession, if widely operative, will have a disastrous effect upon the rising generation. Old heads cannot be looked for on young shoulders, but every boy must know, if he stops to think, that idle school days probably mean ill-equipment for after life and, therefore, comparative failure in facing the problems of* after life. * [ BITS OF HUMOR JUST A START "When your wife starts to talk does she know when to stop ?"

In these days and times many pol. Htcians keep "on parade" before the Politics are highly productive of intriguing events, but politics are apt to pall on the public unless the seek- ers of publicity keep themselves be- fore the public by shooting bombs loaded by wild and mostly untrue statements about different businesses and industries. In fact, in order to keep "on parade," new rumors to fit the different conditions are put out day by day. "When "on parade" statements are made that tend to make people start feuds against their neighbors. This is a "parade" of selfishness, intended for the interests of the politician. Of course, we cannot see that without a change in the basic features of earth- ly circumstances man can go very far in 'development without selfish- ness. However, we may polish the surface of our motives; they are, with few exceptions, dictated by the instinct of self-preservation. Even the greatest achievements of our big business interests for the benefit of mankind have behind them the driv- ing power of men fighting for their personal satisfaction. Such are the ironies of lite that selfishness is often the trade wind that carries great benefactibns to all. So we should not allow thuse "on parade" to infect our best interest by 'their 'poison. Our politicians who keep "on par- ade" should show more shining vir- tues of sympathy and tenderness to- ward business and people as a whole, not to any favored class. These veracious gentlemen who chide 'everybody for being selfish should remember that the people are amenable to all human impulses, good and bad, and they should forget as much as possible all self-seeking publicity, THE IDEAL OFFICE HOLDER --AND WE HAVE MANY OF THEM--ARE THE ONES WHO TRY TO PRODUCE A BROTHER. LY FEELING BETWEEN ALL MEN AND ADVOCATE THOSE THINGS THAT WILL BENEFIT by C, H. Tuek, Ope. D. Copyright, 1938) COLOR BLINDN In several previous articles 1 found f{¢ necessary to refer to the spectrum colors which when com- bined form white Mght. I will name these colors again in order, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue and Violet. The différenc in these colors depends on the number of vibrations and their frequency. In order that the brain may recoge nise these meparate colors some stimulation to the sensitive nerve centres of the eye must be set up in some special manner to produce color vision. If we can have color blindness color vision must be a recognized fact. The colors above mentioned should be more prop- erly termed, the .colors of the solar spectrum, There is also to be considered an Ocular Spectrum, this follows the impressions of the Solar Col- ors upon the sensitive nerve tis- sue of the eye but their color is not the same as the color of the object whose image they received but its complimefital colors, and these complimental colors of the spectrum are very nearly opposite to the colors of the solar spectrum, The complimental color for red is green-blue and for green it is purple-red, and for blue-violet it Is yellow. The explanation of this is In the fact that the particular part of the retina of the eye which should recognise red is fatigued by it but is very sensitive to the other rays which combined with red would make white light, in other words it quickly recognizes those colors it does not absorb and other nerve endings in the retina will absorb these other colors and only recognise red.

April 1.--The long arm of co-incidence reached out the other night and gathered Ratfael Angele in. Raftael was attending a movie, at which Policewoman Irene McAuliffe was also spending part of her leisure time. The dim lights, the soft music, and the viearious emotions aroused by the screened drama did things to Angelo, He stretched out his right arm and placed it gently around the waist of 'the comely woman who sat beside him and whispered tender words in her ear. Her responses were not so tender. Angelo was picked up by the neck and deposited in the aisle. There he grew pugilistic to no avail. The thriller on the screen flickered on unwatched as the audi- ence turned with interest to ob- serve the battle in the aisle. It end- ed when the youth was hauled from the movie house to police head- quarters, where he was booked on a charge of assault. The recipient of Raffael"s atten- tions was Policewoman McAuliffe. Dangerous Practice Belleville --Half a dozen boys on "express" wagons have a habit night- ly from seven o'clock until nine o'clock of riding down the roadway of Bridge Street West from the bend in the hill to the turn onto Cedar Street, The youngsters do not real- ize the danger they are running cs- pecially as this is a heavily travelled road and as they cannot see cars apnroaching from the tops of the hill, Owing to the turn onto Cedar Street taking them across the right of way of westbound traffic, their position ig much more precarious, Moved To Toronto Belleville--Provinetal Constable 'vr Chisholm who has been stationed at Picton under the inspectorship of W, H.
