"FRIDAY, APRIL 17th, 1931 INDUSTRIAL SAFETY 'fhe annual convention of the Industrial séident Prevention Association, which is to held in Toronto next week, promises to of the outstanding events of its kind, oe from the nature of the subjects to sugsed by experts in industrial safety "In Oshawa, there has been consider- e interest in safety plans and proposals Jast year or so, thanks to the lead giv- this direction by the General Motors anada in the holding of special safety * 3 s, in which representatives of the ~ 'other industries of the city have joined. The study and practice of safety methods in industry have made great strides in this . 'country in recent years, From a purely 'economic standpoint, it has been found worth while, for the cost of industrial acci- 'dents, assessed against factory production 'costs, have meant an increase in the cost of the final products of industry. There is the er aspect, however, of the loss of the human element in efficiency, and in capabil- ities for earning a living in competition with men one hundred per cent efficient. Thus the human element enters into the picture at both ends of the scale, first, as the ele- ment responsible for the majority of indus- trial mishaps, and secondly as the element 'After sll, prevention of industrial acci- dents is largely a matter of education, and | annual conventions such as that in Townto next week send hundreds of delegates back to, their work with better ideas of how to reduce the number of time-lost accidents. For this reason, it is to be hoped that Osh- awa will be well represented at the conven- tion, for, as an industrial city, it has a keen interest in cutting accidents down to a mini- mum. THE BUTTER INDUSTRY IMPROVING For a number of years it was quite a common thing to hear from political plat- forms in Canada that the dairying industry in this country was being ruined, that this country has ceased to be a butter-exporting country. This was blamed on various con- ditions, according to the political views of the persons discussing it. The fact that New Zealand butter was. flooding Canadian markets, and discouraging the manufacture of butter was cited on the one hand while on the other it was pointed out that milk not being made into butter because lucrative markets for it, in other forms, were available in the United States. 5 It is now interesting to note that Dr. J. A. Ruddick, dairy commissioner. for Canada, de- glares that in the very near future butter I again be available for export from Can . So those who blamed the New Zealand treaty for the decline in Canada's but- industry will be ready to say that all ir charges were fully justified, and that it ply took the abrogation of that treaty to g it back on its feet again. On the other d, it may be that the closing of United tes doors to Canadian milk and milk roducts has turned milk back into the chan- " mels of butter-making again. There were days when Canada was quite a large bufter-exporter, and when the re- rns from butter shipped overseas made te a sizable contribution to Canada's agri- ural wealth. If these days are coming ick again, as Dr. Ruddick suggests, it will e quite a fillip to the dairying industry, to farming in general, and there is no ustry which needs it more at the present UNPAID TAXES is apparent that Oshawa is not the only by which is having trouble with unpaid The neighbouring city of Peter Gite perturbed over its situation. It has ts books unpaid taxes to the total of over ,000, and it has an overdraft at the bank $408,000, so the council of Peterboro has iven the tax collector orders to make a strong effort to collect some of the tax ar- Under present conditions, however, it is ne thing to give orders, and. quite another thing to put them into effect.

MEETING HIGHWAY COMPETITION The two great railway systems of Canada have agreed that it is necessary to adopt drastic measures to meet the competition of the highways in respect to attracting pass- enger travel. After a lapse of many years, they have decided to put into effect reduced weekend fares, good from Friday noon until Monday midnight, The new fares are de- cidedly attractive, since the round trip will cost only one and a quarter times the present single fare. This is a return to what many are pleas- ed to term the good old days. There was a time, twenty-five or thirty years ago, when the railway excursions were highly popular and resulted in heavy weekend traffic for the railways during the summer months. In these days, however, the fares were cut to very low figures, some of the rates being ridiculous, but they certainly brought out the traffic, and it was only when the war in- tervened that the railways agreed to drop for the time being, all reduced fare induce- ments. Now they are being revived. It would be too much to expect that the old type of rail. way exercusion will again spring into popul- arity, because in those days of twenty-five years ago there was not the competition from busses and automobiles that there is today. But, nevertheless, there are thous- ands of people who would make railway trips to visit friends and relatives were the cost not prohibitive and the railway should do quite a substantial business catering to their needs under the weekend excursion rates. EDITORIAL NOTES Now that navigation has been opened, we shall soon be hearing about the first moon- light excursion of the season. Premier Bennett had little sympathy with the Communists in the interview he granted them the other day, and his attitude will be supported by the-great mass of the Canadian people. When the new nationality bill becomes law, a great many people who pride them- selves on being English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish, will officially be Canadians. The late Andrew Stalter was one of those quiet, but public-spirited citizens who, in their own efficient way, give good service to their community, His passing leaves Osh- awa poorer. The people south of the C.N.R. tracks are getting quite impatient regarding the delay in completing the Oshawa subway. Other Editors' Comment (Vancouver Sun) ; At Trail, a $10,000,000 plant of the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company is being completed, with a view to supplying Western Canada with cheap fertilizer, That fertilizer will increase the yield per acre, Well, what is the advantage, since Canada grows more wheat than she can sell right now? The advantage is that Canada will and must learn how to produce wheat more cheaply. If a Western farm- er can double the yield, he can half his acreage and his capital costs. He can produce wheat more cheaply, He can make a profit on cheaper wheat. He can, in short, compete with Russia and other low cost na- tions, PEGGING WHEAT PRICES (Brandon Sun) Pegging wheat prices is not feasible. It does not stabilize the market, Nor does it benefit the farming farmer. The actual process of pegging wheat prices means that the difference between the fixed price and the actual amount received would come out of the Federal Treasury. The loss would have to be taken out of the national taxes--and taxation affects us all, The people must pay--directly or indirectly.

(Copyright, 1928) NEURASTHENIA Part wn This nervous disorder as it. applies to the eyes may be properly ascribed to a general run-down condition and the effects of this condition on the eyes "lack of tone" may be. noticed 'in convalescence after some trouble. some illness a few of these cases may not find any relief in the correction oferrors of vision but may be entir- ely due to some other cause but it is an accepted fact that when muscle and eye conditions are thoroughly treated or corrected fewer cases are found and some relief is found for those suffering in this manner. And in bringing the physical condition to normal the correction of the eyes is a means of assistance. Some of the causes that contribute to this condition are nervous condi- tions, poor health, disease and weak- ness, over use of the eyes, bad light- ing conditions, improper nourishment in unsanitary conditions. The most common symptoms complained of are headaches, frontal, over the brows or temporal, and even back of the head. Redness of the eyes and lids, light will also bother the eye more under this conttition than at other times. Th. eyes will water under the least irritation and may appear gritty and sandy. (To be continued) J. E. PAGE, PUBLISHER OF THE COLUMBUS (GA.) LEDGER-EN. QUIRER, SAYS: "I have often wondered if some ~b- lishers really ever did STOP TO THINK. My reason for asking this question is what is going to happen to the newspaper industry if the newspapers continue to give away advertising to the radio manufactur- ers? 'There have been any number of large newspaper advertisers who have in the past two years practical- ly discarded newspaper advertising for radio and have no way of telling just how many pcople are listening in on their program. Of course, they arc bound to receive some results from the radio advertising, but they do not give newspapers credit for the accumulative power of advertisine that was done prior to going into ra- dios and yet the radio gets cre lit for the good will and sales that have been built up by newspapers on these various products, "NewspaPer publishers are gradually beginning to realize that it was news- papers that made radio possible by giving unlimited publicity and carry. ing programs without any charge and that radio has become their biggest competitor. "There is no more reason why pub- lishers should carry "these programs without being paid for than carrying radio advertising without it being paid for, and I am glad to know that a great number of publishers have awakened to the fact that unless they take steps to correct this situation it will cost them millions of dollars a vear. A number of publishers have ~efused to carry radio programs un- less broadcasting stations or adver- tisers pay for the programs, "THIS IS A SUBJECT THAT ONE COULD DWELL ON INDEFIN.

"What we need," he continued, "is a keener appreciation of life. I have no fear for the younger generacon and am confident that it will be able to handle the problems of this world in a better and finer way than mother and. father did. We can't suppress uth but we can do much to direct it toward the goal of high ideals." Referring briefly to the problems which are faced by the juvenile courts, Judge Mott stated that inves- tigation of the cases brought to the court's attention always showed that the offences were the wrong expres- sion of desires which are right enough in the right place. It was the court's constant endeavor to get at the root of the trouble and give such advice and encouragement which might direct the youthful of- fender along the right road. "By our keen appreciation, by our faith and understanding of our own desires we may live fuller and richer lives," he concluded. H. Bradley, president of the Bro- therhood, presided over the banquet last night in his usual genial and ef- ficient manner, Judge Mott was in- troduced to his audience by Rev, S. C. Jarrett, rector of Holy Trinity Anglican Church and judge of the local juvenile court. After referring to the many fine qualities of the judge, Rev.

A hearty vote of thanks for the splendid speech of Judge Mott was moved by F., L. Fowke, veteran Par- liamentarian, who was alse one of the guests of honor last 'night. In ap- propriate terms; and iwth that keen wit and ready humor which stood him in such good stead during his public career, Mr. Iowke described the splendid work which is being done by juvenile courts throughout Ontario in the salvaging of human lives. "It is a noble message which Judge Mott has brought to us," he said. A brief, but thoroughly enjoyable program was also provided at last night's banquet, through the arrange- ments of A. E.

OFFIGE BUILDING TABLET MARKS SITE OF PIONEER CHURCH Old Toronto Church Stood Where Bank of Com. merce Now Is Toronto, Ont.--One of the plo- neer churches in "Muddy York" is| commemorated by a bronze tablet at one of the newest of the tower- ing temples of finance in modern Toronto. The church, a structure of pri- mitive type, stood at the west cor- ner of King and Jordan streets on land now forming part of the site of the steel and stone building of the Canadian Bank of Commerce. The tablet is on the wall of the new building on Jordan street, just south of King. Designed by W. W. Stallworthy, it states: 'The first Methodist Church in Toronto was built upon this site in A.D, 1818." The mem. orial is embellished with a charm- 'ng bas-relief showing a small, low log building set in a grove of fir trees. A new implement, a "spading tractor," will plow, harrow and cul. tivate in one operation, and has a capacity of three acres an hour, Photographs enlarged to the size of a wall and used as murals are the latest features of wall decora- tion evolved by architects in New York.
