FRIDAY, MAY 22nd, 1931 DEVELOPING ALL SIDES Mayor Marks made an excellent address at the Kiwanis Club meeting this week when he spoke on the subject of conducting a boys' camp in such a way as to make it of maximum benefit to the boys. Probably some of those present were surprised at the mayor's knowledge of camp life and of boys' work in general, but summer camp- ing has been a life-long hobby of Mayor Marks, and he spoke from knowledge drawn from long experience, not only of camping but also of boys. One point which he stressed is worthy of notice. He said some camps missed their great objective by over-emphasizing thé physical side of the camp program, and leaving the development of mental and moral sides of character to suffer. There is true wisdom in that observation. True, boys at the camping age are inclined to overdo their physical activities, and to rele- ne other sides of the program into the nd. It is here that the direction of a wise and well-trained camp director is invaluable. A boys' camp program, to be thoroughly successful, must be a balanced program, providing activities for the 'de- velopment of the mental, social and spiritu- all faculties, as well as the physical. A' boys' camp should be planned along these lines, and planned well in advance, so that from the time the boys enter the camp un- til they leave, they are constantly undergo- ing a four-fold development which will tend to bring out the bést in all sides of their character. In fact, wise camp directors find their inspiration for their camp pro- gram in the words of scripture, in the ex- ample of the boy Jesus, who, we are 'told, "Increased in wisdom and in stature, and in favor with God and man." Taking that as a pattern, no camp director can go far wrong, and this was probably the thought in the-mind of Mayor Marks when he im< pressed on the Kiwanis Club the necessity for providing for all-round development in the planning of the program for its summer camp. TAKING THE CENSUS Judging from the formidable list of ques- tions to be answered, the taking of the cen- sus, which will be starting within the next two or three weeks, is going to be a formid- able task, both for the enumerators who are charged with securing the answers to the questions, -and for the people who have to supply the answers. It is not going to be so bad where the average man or wo- man is concerned, but we sympatnize with the enumerator who tackles people whose knowledge of the English language is not very extensive, or whose standard of intelli gence is not very high. : Having accepted the responsibilities of the position, however, the census enumera- 'tor is obliged-to see the thing through to the bitter end, only illness or death being accepted as a sufficient reason for breaking * off in the middle of the task. We can im- agine many of them being heartily sick of the job long before it is completed. Their tasks, however, can he considerably highten- ed by the co-operation of the pecple at large. The list of questions, while formid- able, should offer no problems to the man or woman of average intelligence, and if the le in this class will make it their busi- to assist the census enumerator all * Grant grace divine for thought behind this, as was aptly ed in the heading which was pi over the news item in The Times telling of the decision of the lodge. This heading read : "To Honor Dead by Helping the Living. One cannot tell what might be in the minds of those heroes who have passed on, but one can readily believe that they would be in hearty accord with the spirit shown of de- siring to help those of their comrades who, having survived, are still suffering from the ravages of war. The Sons of England are to be complimented on the step.they have taken, for they have set an example which have made a practice of decorating the war memorial. EDITORIAL NOTES With the need for the large buffalo en- closure gone, Oshawa might be able to establish a proper tourist camping ground at the lake in place of the present little square of 'grass. Tonight provides the last opportunity to enjoy the public schools musical festival for this year. Happy is the man whose garden work is sufficiently far advanced to let it secure the full benefit of the sunshine and rain. The distribution of Horticultural Society premiums is going to provide plenty of holi- day recreation for many citizens on Mon- day. : Oshawa is now becoming known in sport- ing circles as the city that cannot be bluf, fed even by a millionaire sports promoter. Athletic fields and backyard Surigns these nights provide convincing of the value, and the popularity, of daylight saving. The announcement that amendments are to be made to the pensions act at the pre- sent session of parliament will be received with pleasure by those who have suffered from injustice in pensions act administra- tion. With favorable weather conditions, next Monday should see a real Victoria Day cele- bration at Lakeview Park. One only has to take a look up Simcoe Street North just now to realize how much trees can add to the beauty of a city. Even Teddy Oke's interference in Osh- awa failed to provide Mabel with a "Ray" of hope. A child, playing with matches, is said to have been the cause of a fire which 'de- stroyed a barn, near Pickering. Too bad he hadn't been fooling with a cigarette light- er instead. : BITS OF HUMOR CRUEL KINDNESS Son in college was applying pressure for more money from home. "I cannot understand why you call yourself a kind father," he wrote his dad, "when you haven't sent em a cheque for three weeks. What kind of kindness do 'you call that?" at's unremitting kindness," wrote the father s next letter. . SHE KNEW MI Waite called unexpectedly at her husband's office and found that he had gone out for the day. "You 'say Mr, e is out, office boy. "Do you know "I don't know, ma'am," replied the youth. 4 "How tiresome!" she went on, "Perhaps his secretary could tell me." ' "She sertajnly could, shot back the office-boy. "She's gone with him." HIS ONLY OBJECTION "Have you anything to say before sentence is passed?" inquired the Judge of the convicted burg- she said to the new ere he has gone?" "The only thing I'm kicking about," replied the burglar, glaring with open scorn at the chief witness against him, "is being identified by a man that kept is 'ead under the bedclothes the 'ole time I was in the room."

When your local dealers rec- ommend certain lines through local papers, it is a guarantee that what is offered is the best of quality and will give you per- fect satisfaction. Buying from local concerns who advertise protects you from buying inferior and shoddy mer- chandise. Well advertised lines are all active; they keep moving from seller to buyer, assuring you of getting fresh merchandise. Advertising is a service due the public. Those concerns who advertise continuously are giv- ing you a worth while service-- a service that will save you time and money. Read the advertisements and buy from those concerns who are progressive enough to invite your business. ADVERTISING IS AN INVI- TATION--A MONEY-SAVING IN- VITATION.

Eye Care and Eye Strain by C. HN. TUCK, Opt.D (Copyright 1928) EYESIGHT--PART 1 Many of the {important fea- tures, the proper functioning of which mean much to life and hap- piness, are disregarded, improp- erly cared for and neglected. Be- cause we take it as a matter of course we seldom give any thought to eyesight. Of all our senses it is the most important; but like life itself it is the most neglected and seldom receives the care that it requires. Study, play or work of any kind, in fact very few things cen be done without the aid of sight. Because through the eye the brain derives most of its infor- mation, eyesight is the most im- portant feature in the education and mental development of man- kind. This is so highly special- ized in today that when efficiency must be considered as an im- portant essential in business, the measure of our ability to see well and with comfort is the measure of our success. In the past the demands were not so great upon the eyes of each individual. There was not so much indoor work. Cliviliza- tion was not so advanced, com- merce and finance did not make ing machines, consequently there was less eyestrain and eye trouble than there is today.

FINE PRIZES ARE DRAWNYG INTEREST IN BIG GRAIN FAIR Regina, Sask., May 22.--One of the most representative dis- plays of world's agricultural pro- ducts ever assembled is promised for the World's Grain Exhibition and Conference to be held here July 25 to August 6, 1932. The attractive prizes have attracted widespread interest and speei- men's of seed and grain from all portions of the earth's surface will be shown. The conference will bring together outstanding authorities on all phoses of field crop production and marketing. The government of Argentine has appointed an official commis- sion to represent that country under the direction of M. Urlen, director of rural economy and statictics, and has invited the Ar- gentine Co-operative Association, The Union of Agricultural Pro- ducers, the Argentine Rural So- clety and the Agricultural Fed- eration to appoint representatives to accompany the official commis- sion to Regina.

Me- Donald, director of Agriculture for New South Wales; W. C. Cambridge, secretary of the Far mers' and Settlers' Association; and A. K. Laidlaw, associate edi- tor of the official organ of the association, are the other mem- bers. The government of Siam has also advised that there will be official representation from that country unless prevented by un- forseen circumstances. Steps are being taken to arrange ex- hibitions of rice grown in Siam. Eighteen countries have at the present time offically accepted Canada's invitation to participate in the World Grain Exhibition.

Before the opening date of the exhibition it is confifidently expected that at least 50 coum- tries will take part. An American judge, failing of re- election, was made cashier of a focal bank. A man presented a check to be cashed. "Don't know you," greeted the new cashier. The customer produced a Wall Street credit card, a business card, and a lot of letters addressed to himself. "Not sufficient proof of identity" said the cashier, pushing the check back. "Why Judge," protested the man, "I've known you to hang a man on "'E's been fillen' form up they've brought, an's 'e the demands upon our vision that they do under modern conditions with longer working hours under electric light and quickly mov- "drinks dry and votes diy."
