J ~ Picking, provincial first vice-president of . the Canadian Legion, to the Rotary Club ~ yesterday put before the members of the club a new thought with reference to the . menace of Communism to the Dominion of Canada. Speaking to them as a business man to business man, Col. Picking showed i them how their interests were endangered by the threat of the Communists to over- {throw the established order of government and society should they ever become suffi- ciently strong to do so. He said: "They would take away from you all you have earned, all you have built up as business men, all you have worked for, and would give you nothing in re- turn." That was the message which hammered . itself home in the minds of all who heard Col. Picking's eloquent. address. And there was more truth in it than anyone realizes. One has only to look at what has happened to private business interests in Russia un- der Communist government to see what would happen in this country should the Communists have their way in Canada. It is a serious matter, not only for the business men of today, but for their sons and their {_ sons' sons, to whom they hope to pass on a goodly heritage. i "If he did nothing else, Col. Picking showed {* that the Communist menace was a real thing, and was one against which business mien should band themselves. The Canadian Legion, as he said, has already placed the . suppression of Communism in the forefront "of its program, and it appeals to the business men of this country to co-operate with it in this phase of its activities. How this can best be done is not abundantly clear at the LeBresent time, but it is a responsibility on the shoulders: of every Canadian business man that he be constantly on his guard against * . those who would undermine the forces of authority and ordered government, and take away from men who had given their lives to build up business all that they had striven s0 hard to achieve. COMMENDABLE PUBLIC SERVICE Last night, at the meeting of the Board of park commissioners, Dr. F. L. Henry was . elected to the chairmanship of the board for the 23rd consecutive year. This is a record of blic service which is sufficiently outstand- to call for some comment. The chair- J hip of so important a body as the park commission is a position which carries with "it heavy responéibilities, and one which can- * 'mot be regarded as a sinecure. For several months of the year it makes great demands i on the time and attention of the man who is placed in that position, and Oshawa is . fortunate in having a citizen like Dr. Henry ~ who is willing to accept all the obligations ~ which go along with the office to which he "has been re-elected. Dr. Henry is to be con- . 'gratulated on winning the confidence of his ~ fellow-members of the commission to the ex- tent which he has, and the board, in turn, is ~ to be congratulated on having as its chair- man a man of such long experience in parks "affairs, ready and willing to accept his re- bilities and carry them out in as able a manner as he has done during the last twenty-iwo years, ------ oS ------------------ AFFECTION FOR THE KING The report yesterday morning that King George was again indisposed, suffering from ie trouble which so nearly ended his life fwo years ago, drew forth fresh evidence of he affection and love which the king has indled in the hearts of his people. Despat- ps from Great Britain expressed the gen- 1 anxiety which the people felt over there, and in this country there was equally con- vincing evidence that the people of British pod were concerned over the welfare of his jesty. This was shown by the many inquiries which were received by The Times the latest information from Windsor tle, and the expressions of relief when it possible to assure the inquirers that his ndition was in no " rious. It is a striking tribute to the personality King George that there be this ex- ssion of affection and love for him, In te of the way in which European mon- chies have been swept away in the last 0 decades, the British monarchy remains ; able, largely because of the hold of e. present monarch on the hearts of his ople everywhere. His splendid qualities, d those of his eldest son, the Prince of Wales, have endeared the House of Windsor to every British heart, and it is safe to say pers 5 t P "Dai Fig | ario rovine es an e | Of "Bathurst, NB. that as long as British people haye as wise monarchs on their throne as King George, there need be no fear of the abolition of the monarchy. THE DANGER OF GRASS FIRES During the last few days the Oshawa fire department has had a busy time fighting grass fires, ' The dry weather has made the grass on vacant properties particularly sus. ceptible to fire, and as a result many blazes have been started, and have reached serious proportions, which, in a normal spring, could easily have been kept in check. The danger in these fires lies in the fact that, once they are beyond control, there is no telling how far they will spread. Wooden fences, frame garages and other buildings in their path might suite easily be set on fire and serious losses caused. The only safe plan is to refrain from setting such fires, unless there is ample provision made for keeping them in check. It is true that in some cases the fires are set by thoughtless boys, and for such lads, the surest safeguard is strict parental control. In other cases, they are set quite innocently by persons wishing to clear long grass from an unsight- ly backyard or vacant lot. In these cases, the greatest of care must be taken to pre- vent the fire from spreading, and they should never be set when there is a high wind to fan the flames. The best advice is to refrain entirely from setting fires of this kind, for it is much better to be safe than sorry. EDITORIAL NOTES Oshawa is to be especially favored this summer in that it will be one of the few On- tario cities to have an opportunity of enter- taining Earl Jellicoe. Relief work is being decreased in Oshawa, and it is satisfactory to note that many of the men who were depending on it have re- turned to their former regular employment. The fact that its Poppy Fund, of about $800, has all been used up, is evidence that the Canadian Legion has been doing splen- did work in relieving distress among destitute war veterans during the past winter. The public health department may seem expensive, but every cent of the money set aside for it is money well invested. Other Editors' Comment THE CUSTOMS UNION (Border Cities Star) The furore that is being created by the proposed customs union between Austria and Germany ap- pears to be of somewhat academic interest to Can- ada, as it is unlikely our trade with either nation will be much affected if such an agreement is ac- tually put into effect, It is somewhat amusing, however, to note the horror with which Mr. Aristide Briand, French For- eign Minister and father of the United States of furope plan, views the proposal. One may be par- doned for thinking that Germany and Austria are simply adopting Mr. Briand's idea, as it is a sort of economic and customs tariff union that he visualizes as making Furope again eccgomically strong. But the old bogey of German '"weltpolitik" arises to trouble the French as soon as it appears that Ger- many is going to establish closer relations with an- other country, The Austrians can hardly be blamed by anyone if they adopt some plan for economic hegemony with a more powerful nation. Dismembered and crushed by the Treaty of Versailles, Austria today is prac- tically one great city, Vienna, without a nation of any consequence to support it.

Motorist : "But how could I read them at the speed 1 was going?" The conversation of two men who met on the racecourse turned to the topic of strange coincidences.

A spirit of harmony and loyalty to the home city on behalf of its citi- zens will do wonders. Dynamic force is needed in some cities to get the peonle to realize the wonderful opportunities that their locality possesses. The growth and procress of cities depends upon the co-operation of its citizens toward the good of all. The city that has helpful co-opera- tion goes ahead in spite of any ob- stacles that may be placed in their path by those citizens who are con. tent to have it stand still. The city that has helpful co-opera- tion will cash in to the fullest the multitude of opportunitics that are ahead of it. The selection of a plan and the carrying out of that lan to a suc- cessful conclusion has made many a city a bigger and busier city. A city must have a good reputation and live up to that renutation by de- livering the goods. VISITORS TO A CITY SHOULD BE TOLD IN A PLEASING MAN- NER THE STORY OF ITS DE. VELOPMENT AND AMBITIONS FOR THE FUTURE. Eye Care and Eve Strain by C. KH. Tuek, Opt. D. (Copyright, 1928) Chorea, St. Vitus Dance and the Eyes. "A chain is only as strong as its weakest link." Hyperopia, farsight- edness, creates an undue strain up- on the muscles of convergence as well as the ciliary muscle or the muscle of accommodation. Where the strain is upon both of these an excessive supply of energy is de- manded and much of it wasted en- ergy. When a strain of this nature fs kept up the whole nervous system must suffer and the final result may be a nervous breakdown unless some weaker organ gives way be- fore this stage is reached. This not only is a cause of much misery and suffering but I am assured that statistics are in evidence to prove that even the duration of life may be materially shortened through a disregard of strain of this nature. These errors connot be discon- cerned by a mere test of the eyes for their power to read letters on a card at a certain distance, a thor- ough and proper examination 1s nec- CSSArY.
