FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2nd, 1931 , Fire Prevention Work Next week is being observed throughout Canada as Fire Prevention Week, and Chief Elliott of Oshawa is making plans to ob- serve it in a manner which will mean some- thing. . Oshawa has a reputation to main- tain in this respect, for it won first place in a contest for cities between 15,000 and 50,000 population, open to the whole of Canada, and involving the exercise of the principles of fire prevention in the commu- nity. In winning this contest, the fire de- partment was given splendid co-operation by a representative committee of citizens, and this committee is again expected to take charge of the campaign for education as to the uselessness of fire waste. Once a city reaches the pinnacle of fame in any field of endeavor, it becomes a hard task to stay there, and that is the position which Oshawa occupies today. For that reason, it is hoped that a keen interest will be tak- en in the fire prevention campdign which will be under way next week, and that the fire chief will continue, in future, to have that splendid measure of co-operation which is helping to keep down the citys ratio of fire losses. "The Need For Prison Reform : In his address to the grand jury at the Supreme Court sessions in Whitby Monday afternoon Honorable Mr. Justice W. E. Raney condemned the present system of placing young men, many of them first of- fenders, in prisons where they associate with men of the hardened criminal type, and learn the ways of the criminal. His Lordship emphasized that while boys who go wrong must be punished, there were places other than jails with stone and steel cells where they could be taken care of. In this connection His Lordship com- mended the idea of placing offenders against the law on farms where they get more fresh air, have less idle time on their hands, and live under entirely different conditions from those prevailing in county and provincial houses of detention. It was pointed out by His Lordship that the cost involved in building steel hells would go a long way towards. the setting up of these farms, and suggested that with many men out of work the time was opportune to urge the government to get busy on provid- ing these newer and better prisons. The question of new methods for dealing with erring youth is one which is engaging the attention of many governments, private organizations and individuals today. The abolition of the present type of jail with its grey, drab walls, steel and stone cells and high prison walls has been given con- sideration and acted upon to some extent in the past ten or fifteen years in Canada, with the result that today we have such in- stitutions as the industrial farm at Bur- wash and the Ontario Reformatory at Guelph for adult prisoners, and for boys and girls many institutions of the correc- tive type where they are taken care of un- til 21 years of age. Then there is the Boys' Training School, Bowmanville, where Boys who are not by any means in the criminal class but in one way or another have left the straight and narrow path, in many ~ 'cases through no fault of their own, are given a chance under ideal conditions to make good. There is also the proposal of ic welfare, for Ontario institution for girls.

Our spelling is more efficient, perhaps more sensible. But we can hardly blame Canada for adhering to the code of the mother country when that code is aesthetic rather than practical. Thanks to the Atlanta Journal for this kind thought. But aren't the newspapers to be considered? We give it as a well con- sidered opinion that the historical, geo- graphical and royal societies in Canada will have less weight with the press than their own traditions. Once even a "quiff" gets into a newspaper's style it is hard to get i out and "jail", "wagon", "labor", "fav- r", "jeweller" and so on have been accept- od as correct by the Canadian press, it is true probably by American influence, but even that realization will not decide a change. When a printer changes his job to another paper he first makes it his duty to discover what the "quiffs" of the office are. In the Province, for instance, they spell "clue" "clew". It is just a caprice, if you like, but there it is, and unless a new editor with an iconoclastic flair came along "clew"' it will be. Canada will evolve along its owh lines, however, Britain and America notwith- standing. Editorial Notes The Toronto Mail and Empire pleads with" all newspapers to refrain from criti- cizing the federal government, 'on account of the heavy job it has on hand. But sure- ly one has the right to raise a protest against the seemingly interminable delay in getting down to the job. The United States has decided to cut it® naval building program in half. What the disarmament conference could not do, Old Man Depression is making compulsory. The mass meeting which is to be held in Memorial Park on Saturday afternoon will be made all the more interesting if the civ- ic authorities are able to make some defi- nite announcements as to the relief work to be done in Oshawa during the fall and winter.

Then what's the good of going to the other side of the earth ?--The Hum- orist. Why should not the river be known henceforth as the Kaye Don, when we have already a Wood Street ?--Toronto Mail and Empire. Perhaps it was a little redundant after all, to explain that the Chicago bank from which a teller stole $2,500,000 is one of the largest in the nation.--Detroit News. | Other Editor's Comments TARIFFS . (London Evening Standard) We must think not only of revenue, not only of escaping from our present troubles, but of develop- ing the immense potential wealth which is the heri- tage of our race. We can do that by bringing the Crown Colonies and Dependencies into our own fiscal unit and by arranging between that unit and the Dominions a series of limited fiscal partner- ships. That is the task which the statesmen of this age find before them, and they must set about it. BI Is OF HUMOR Little Taluiny came home crying. "What be the matter, lad? asked his grandfather, "Billy won't play Red Indians with me!" wailed the boy. "Never mind," please the child, instead.' Johnny stayed his tears and looked thoughtfully at his grandfather's bald head? "No, you won't do," he said, already." said his grandfather, hoping to "I'l play Red Indians with you "you've been scalped A physician on a liner made a great use of sea water among his patients, Whatever their trouble, a dose of the briny liquid was given them.

Prac- tice cleanliness and protect the child from the germs of diseases which may be carried by flies. Baby should be protected out of doors as well as within. The ears and nostrils may be cleansed gently when bathing, and habits of cleanliness may be taught when able to properly under- stand. If routine of sleeping is broken, bathing is often a means of inducing sleep. If taught to enjoy the bath, there is less trouble of putting the child to bed and to sleep, The development of any deé- fect in the child is mere rapid when proper rest periods are not followed. Cross-eyed conditions for example, are often most no- ticed when tired and cross from lues of sleep and the eyes are siraight when rested. This child has not the energy to stand for such neglect and tries to tell you 80 by being cross and pettsh. Wisdom in the care of the child, wisdom in the care of its eyes, is to supply what nature demands. T'on't neglect either.

While France has dropped out of the series of international matches on account of international dis- cord, their loss will be more than compensated for by a South Afri- can team which will meet Eng- land, Scotland, Wales and Ire- land. The Springboks will play .n various centres every three or ofur days. They meet Wales (Lhe International champions) at Ewensea on December 5, Ireland at Dublin (what a great match!) on December 19, England at Twickenham on January 2, and Scotland at Edinburgh on Jan- vary 16. Outside of the match with Sonth Africa, England has only one other international game at home this season -- the match with Scotland at Twickenham. This is the famous Calcutta Cup match, normally the most impor- tant event of the Rugby season, always attended by many thous- ands of Scotsmen. The Calcutta Cup is a trophy given hy the Calcutta Club, to be held by the victors of this match for one year It is without significance Leyond the fact that in some mysterious way it adds to the fascination of this great annual battle. Dates of international matches follow: Jan. 16--Wales land at Swansea. Feb. 6---Scotland versus Wales at Edinburgh. Feb. 13--Ireland Jand at Dublin.

Records show that the grape was cultivated by the Ancients over five thousand years ago, and 80 important was it in national health and national economy that its introduction was ascribed to a god. With the Romans this god was Bacchus, with the Greeks, Dionysus; with the Egyptians it was Osiris; while the Hebrews ascribed its introduction to Noah. When the Norsemen first visit- ed the North American continent over 1,000 years ago, they found the grape growing wild in "Vine- land" ag they named what we know as New England, while in more recent times a wide variety of species have: been introduced from Europe. Grape production in Canada fis rapidly growing in importance both in Ontario and British Col- umbja. The varieties produced include the blues, ambers and whites. The 1931 crop has ma- tured with excellent quality, en- suring an ample supply at prices attractive to everyone.
