i ~ : THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1931 PAGE NINE WELFARE AGENCIES 70 AMALGAMATE United Body To Carry on Work of Aiding Prisoners Bn Montreal.--Two welfare agen- tles 'having carried on work for thirty-three and filieen years res- pectively, among adult delin- onents in this eity decided recent. ty to amalgamate. The names of tne two bodies, The Prisoners's Ald Association of Montreal and the Canadian Prisoners' Welfare Association, Montreal Branch, have been used partially with the result that the merged organiza- tion, will now he known as The Prisoners' Aid and Welfare Asso- ciation of Montresl, Inc., and a new provincial charter is being obtained. The amalgamated body, al- though enjoying full autonomy, will be a loeal branch of the Can- adjan Pri s' Welfare A i tion, which has a federal charter, Acting as a national committee latter seeks to promote public sentiment in favor of legislative changes tending to reform in penology and aims at persuading all large cities or centres to form a local society of this character. MODEL CITY FOR WORKMEN PLANNED (By The Canadian Press) Montreal, Sept.--The last of the agricultural land owned by the Gentlemen of St. Sulpize in this city is about to be transfor- med into a section of a mode) eity in the northeast end, if the plens proposed to the eity and approved by the Executivo ave adopted by the Council. 'I'ne Sul- pieians own a large territory of about 50,000 feet squars or one and a half square miles, Some years ago the Su'picians developed their land in the west end of the city between Cote des Neiges and Sherbrooke streets for building purposes, and it has become one of the most popular Yesidential parts of the. city, The Lew development, however, wil be in the nature of a working Class settlement, and it is pro- posed to bulld hundreds of Liomes, The work will involve the em- ployment of some 4,000 nen thioughout the coming wintsr #nd for some time afterwards, it is stated. It will cost tha city about $4,000,000, but this would eventually be reimburred by the picprietors, One feature of the scheme is that it provides for a recreation #l centre to be established in the 'madle of the development, Pro- vision will be made for maying fields, parking spaces nnd tennis courts, Jt is expected that wnen ecom- plete there will be about 25 GERMANY LEADS IN THE CARE OF CRIPPLED CHILD Canada Not Far Behind-- $300,000 School Planned For Montreal J Montreal.---*"Germany to-day is leading the world in the care that she gives to her crippled chil- dren," said Victor Dore, chairman of the Catholic School Commis- sion, who returned a short time ago from a tour of Kirope durin: which he visited Germany, Aus- tria, Holland, France and Great Britain in the interests of 'the Montreal Catholic School Commis- sion, and also as the representa- tive of the Society for Crippled 'Children of the Province of Que- hee, and official delegate of the Province of Quebec to the secon! annual convention for the care of Crippled Children which wa: held this year at The Hague, Enlarging on his statement Mr Dore explained that, while Ger- many was in the lead, Canada was very little behind in her care of crippled children, and that al- ready plans had been laid to build a school which would cost in the neighborhood of $300,000 and would be for the. exclusive use of the crippled children of Montreal, - It would include such modern developments as a cor- rective gymnasium, Mr. Dore felt that his trip throughout Europe had been a great success, as there were many of the features of the institutions which he had visited in Europe that would be included in the new building to be started soon, In reply # the question ag to what had been the cause of the recent advancement in the treat- ment gf crippled children in Eur- ope and the rest of the world, Mr. Dore stated that the Great War had been the main factor for during that period it had been found that many of the cases of cripples could be cured with proper treatment, To-day England alone had 44 schools for crippled children, Mr, Dore noted, A story is going the rounds of : curious incident that occurred dur- ing the Prince of Wales's visit to Paris, a story that adds to the lengthy saga of beaux gestes asso- ciated with him He was sitting one night in a club with friends when there was a sud- den disturbance. A frantic maitre d'hotel appeared, excitedly inform- taken advantage of the presence of the Prince to demand a 30 per cent, increase above their normal wage Distraught, the maitre asked scofe of people immediately rose from the tables to be warmly welcomed by the relieved maitre, Among them, quietly, unobtrusive was the Prince himself London J streets in the area, a Opinion, 'Better to eat YOU'VE NEVER really tasted the full deli- ciousness of bran flakes until you try Kellogg's PEP Bran Flakes, Here's a whole-wheat good- ness with the famous flavor that only Kellogg 1, fie 01a conditions of the fish- Taste a mouthful. vote them the best bran flakes you ever ate, !°ndent, can give, And you'll Better for you There's health in every spoonful too.

BAD SEASON FOR HERRING INDUSTRY Prices Good But Tm | men Can Make No Money Glasgow, The Scottish her. ring fishing industry is threaten- ed with another bad season. In the current summer fishing on the East Coast, which is the main en- terprise of the year, the catches have been very light, and thoug! the prices are good values o course being influenced by the scarcity---the fishermen are mak ing nothing from their toll The experience iz calculated to bring equally fortunate results to those | of last year which saddled the | fishing communities with an ad- ditional load of debt on top of | previously accumulated obliga tions, Thera seems no hope of an extrication of theze worthy { people from the financial morass | in whieh the have heen held | throughout the post-war period, | Prohibitive Cost | Times would be hard with them | even if they were catching plenty | of fish, and without that the old | manner of livelihood fs becoming utterly imposeible for many. The | modern cosets of replacing fishing hoats and gear is quite prohibi- tive, and as tha older craft is | worn out the crews are being com- | pelled to seek other modes of 'making a living, These high costs at one end and at the other the | loss of the Russian market, which | was the principal outlet for Scot- | tish cured herrings in the past, | are operating like upper and neth- er millstones crushing between | them, It js a sad prospect to watch the gradual elimination of this estimable well-doing clasy of | folk, who in happier days, before [ the economic upheavals that the war brought, used to live most bienly In the fishing villages and | townships of the Moray Firth | coast, | Fewer Workers For vears there, has been a teady decline in the number of | persons engaged in the fisheries, shore workers diminishing along with 'the falling-off in the =sea- going plant and personnel. The | Scottigh Fishery Board report for | last year, which was recently is. sued, disclosed that the total and others only partially engageq in 1930 (exclusive of eroftor-fisher- men and others only partially en- gaged in the pursuit) was just slightly over 24,000, which repre. sents a reduction of roughly 10,- 000 in number that found a livell- hood from the firhings in the { pre-war days. In the years be- | fore the war the Scottish fishing fleet had a man-power that ree mained fairly constant in the re- glon of 34,000, Change of Viewpoint In the words of the report this decling is "largely attributable to the failure of the industry to re- cruit sufficient young men to re- place the natural wastage in per- sonnell," Tt used to he, partiecul- arly on the South Side of the Mo- ray Firth, that the boy went to sea with his father immediately he left school. That was the ae- cepted course, no other career be. ing contemplated. Now the pap- ent and the hoy alike are prone to seek any alternative that may | offer in preference to this "going to sea," Almost any other call- ng holds in their estimation a hetter opportunity for a lad set- ting out in life. It is a pity, for ing indaktry the occupation bred an admirable race of hardy, Inde- gelf-respecting men. Toss Shore Help The diminution of the shore workers has not been quite so | heavy proportionately as that of | the fishermen, although it, too, | has been very substantial, The | oMelal statistics show that in 1930 the total number of persons en- :aged in the Scottish fisheries, in- cluding the various ancillary 'oc- cupations such ag fish-curing, transport and hoat-building, was over 66,000 as compared with The higher ratio of the decline in the actual fishermen compared with 'ry is due to the larger capacity ol the modern fishing unit, the superiority of the drifter carry- ing as many as a hundred nets over the oid sail boat with say fif- ty to sixty nets.

South Africa looked up his election as an honor done to her- self, he added and the sister Do- minions "appreciate this act of courtesy in which they all share" The British Empire had given yet another instance of that breadth of conception and human sympathy which made it the greatest and most beneficient political society that has ever existed, he said, The new president, extended a cordial welcome to his fellow-citi- zens from the Dominions and the outer marches of the Empire, and to the foreign scientists from Eur- ope, Asia® and America who had honored the meeting with their presence. Science knows no poli- tical boundaries, he pointed out, It recognizes no frontiers except those of reason and fact. And because of this he believed science was de- stined perhaps more than any other form of human activity to draw the nations together, \ , General Smuts recalled the Brit- ish Association was born, in 1831, in a time of grave economic and polit- ical confusion and unsettlement. The prospects of British science no less than of British industry ap- peared sombre. He drew a parallel for today, saying "there is no room for doubt that science, now even more than in 1831, is the dominant factog in the industrial and econ- omic situation, and that in the pen- etration of science into all avenues of human activity lies our main hope of future advance."

Smuts Believes Inspir- ation Will Come From Men of Science | | London, Sept 23--'Tt is too much | to hope that from this great gather- | f science will go forth a new | message of hope to this Empire and to a world distracted and Ja- bouring in unprecedented troubles?" asked General the Rt, Hon. Jan Christiaan Smuts, in a speech marking: his installation as Presi- dent of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, in the Royal Albert Hall this afternoon, Accepting «the high post for the centenary meeting of the British Association, one of the greatest as- semblages of scientists ever held, General Smuts added: "Science has has come to represent the growing point of the human advance. It stands for the new forces which are reshaping this world of ours, It faces the world with a bold and confident spirit, It has an invin- cible faith in truth at all costs, and in that faith it is embarked on the endless. adventure which carries the future of the human race, "May its canfident spirit and sub- lime faith bring new inspiration to the peoples, and give them courage and strength for the grave tasks ahead," General Smuts declared, "The Association has served its purpose admirably as an effective sounding board of the scientific ad- vance," General Smuts said, "Here were fought out great controversies, like that over Darwin's theory of descent, and the din of battle helped to give impetus to the new views. Here great discoveries were an- nounced; here Joule explained his epoch-making rescarches into the mechanical equivalent of heat; here Rayleigh and Ramsey announced the discovery of argon which led to the discovery of other inert ele- ments: here Fitzgerald first an- nounced Hertz's verification of C. Maxwell's theory of electro-mag- netic waves; here Sir Oliver Lodge gave first public demonstration of wireless; most epoch-making of all, here Sir Joseph Themson announ- ced his discovery of the electron, I could greatly extend this list of famous discoveries announced or proclaimed at meetings of the As- sociation, but the foregoing will sut- fice as samples, . "Nor has the Association been content to cater for science in these islands only.

The ex- changes of science at these Domina ion meetings have thus been mu- tually helpful and, apart from the purely scientific results, these meet- ings have served a useful purpose in stimulating the sense of fellows feeling and. comradeship in the Ems pire as a whole, The response is ng | vay 173 have applied Contrasted With Gov- ernment Tardiness | | ------ [ (By The Canadian Press) Toronto, Ont., Sept. 21,--" The in whieh the women of On- the idea of 'canning-bees' to preserve foods for the families of the unemploy- cd should be an inspiration to all, and an example to the men who monopolize Government posi- tions," sald the Globe In a recent editorial.

C. Tweed, M.L.A., publicly urged Ontario women to do likewise. The res- ponse has been afforded a strik- ing contrast to the dilatory meth- ods of governments. "In various centres wqmen's leaders are busy. Housewives are donating spare jars as well as giving their services for the act- ual work. In some cases foods zre supplied free by volunteers; in others, vegetables, fruits and supplies are ing purchased at low prices. But the work is go- ing forward, whatever the parti- cular method used. "It is interesting to compare the different technique of men end women in times of emerg- ency. The men have been argu- ing about putting the unempley- ed to work on the trans-Canada highway for the past fourteen months. Yet nothing has been done, No sooner do women ap- prove an idea than they get busy and apply it. Men like to do their talking before they start work. Women start work before they start talking." The National Council of Wo- men, prominent in this movement, has asked the city of Toronto for a grant of $2,500 in order to 1urchase produce from the mar- kets whieh will be preserved at their expense and used during the winter to help ont the. sup- plies of the House of Industry. Mrs. A. M. Huestis stated that though they could get a consider- uble amount of fruit from the farms it was not to be expected they could get it all for oiling. "Please make it clear to the rnblie that the movement of the cmergency committee wi not hurt the retail trade," said mem- bers of the committee. "It will rather help it, if any. We have created a canning popularity over the city that should help trade." The women are delighted that to contribute to the canned and supply of preserved fruit. it," said a member of the committee, "is that the girls are being taught to do up fruit and incidenta'ly get a lesson in charity, Fruit and vegetables are necessary in the diet, and it has come to our no- tice that so frequently they are ieft out of the poor man's diet.'

Mrs. Emily Lawson, Armitage, near Aurora. Beside her when the 102 candles were lighted were her three liv- ing sisters, Mrs. Arah Ann Wool- ven, 84; Mrs. Carolina Moody, 89; Mrs. Lawson, 79; and one of her two living brothers, Albert McMain, 72. As a girl she recalls following the plow for many long hours, and she says in those dim days of the past, a hard day's work of 12 hours, was regarded with no more disdain by women folk than washing the dishes today. Mrs, Chapelle's hushand predeceased her 38 years ago. They lived to- gether 44 years. The most of her years were spent in the vil- lage of Creemore, where she re- sided for 65 years. The rest of aer 102 years were spent almost entirely in King township. Mrs, Chapelle has no quarrel with the younger generations, Sne frankly deplores, however, the dress of the girls today, "I'd want as many clothes for bed as tke average girl wears today," rhe said naively. "You can't blame the men folk for being hold these days with the way girls dress," she declared. "If I was a girl T would not wart to dress like that.

Roving Spirit Now Femin. ine as Well as Mascu- line Attribute Boston, Massachusetts, -- A study showing that roving foot to be a feminine as well as a masculine attribute has just been completed by Dr. Gladys L. Palmer, for the Women's Bureau. ' Surveying 609 women workers, at four industrial summer schools, Southern School in North Caroliga, Bryn Mawr, Barnard, and Wiscon- sin Universities, Dr. Palmer found as a "typical worker" the restless, American-born girl "seeking variety of location or occupation." . One girl had nine jobs in 13 years in as many industries and localities ; another thirty jobs in thirty differ: ent trades in all parts of the coun- try over twenty years, "If you are a girl who likes to see the world, you will not 'join the navy' but pick up a job in the mis- cellancous trades," said Dr. Palmer. She described how one odd job leads to another, from pretzel-mak- ing to painting lamp shades, "Speed or dexterity is to some ex- tent transferable," she said: "If you can assemble Ford parts, you probably can assemble radio parts or pack candy." Her thirty-job woman had 'been among other things, errand girl, hosiery looper, candy packer, powd- er-maker in a munitions factory, and street car conductorette, The see-the-world work-woman was described as flapperish, ' and "likely to be fairly independent and to move on if she does not like the boss or the work . . , She will try anything once," commented Dr. Palmer. The 609 women, Dr, Palmer found had held 2,700 jobs. In 1988 cases of quitting those jobs, they were able to give the reason why they did it. Only 41 were called dis~ charges. Only seven were due to introduction of machinery--and one of those was a movie organist sup- planted by "talkies." Arguments with the boss accounted for loss of 64 jobs; plant burnings and business failures for 110; change of resid- ence for 122; union activities for 66; strikes or lockouts for 90; ill- ness for 80, The chief complaints were low wages and long hours, accounting for 20.3 per cent. of the jobs they - left behind them. | Your Choice ; ) We have a big consignment of theses choice quality can- ; and Just think 7c a tin} stock up al==the saving is tremendous.
