' FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1940 Hungary Joins Axis 4 Dispatches from Europe announce that Hungary has joined the Axis powers, but ghe fact underlying this development is shat Hunger rather than Hungary has tak- en a seat at the doomed council table of $otalitarian gangsterism. Back of the sinis- der parley at Vienna, where a pact involv- fng the Magyar Kingdom in the Rome- Berlin accord was signed, there was prob- ably only one imperative for Berlin's con- gideration, and that was either to force Hungary into an open alliance or lose Italy. If Germany decides to descend on Greece phrough the Balkans, despite the certainty of effective counter-action on Great Brit- pin's part, then the ultimate collapse of the Axis Powers may be brought much nearer Bhan many now dare to hope. If Turkey de- aides to throw in her lot with Great Britain, #8 is more likely that the decision in this war will be reached in the Near East. How- gwver, until the Turks so decide, it would be gery unwise to anticipate their decision. Extension of battlefronts by the Axis Powers now are the tactics of nations al- peady at war with the threat of future famine. Once the threat becomes a fact in pontinental Europe under Nazi domination, #here may be a swift and unforseen col- Jepse of Hitlerism. That possibility was ably discussed at the recent Oshawa Kiwanis banquet to Ontario County Junior Farmers by Principal A. E. O'Neill, of the Dshawa Collegiate and Vocational Institute, who was the guest speaker. Heroic Sovereigns Opening of Britain's Parliament on Whursday by Their Majesties, who drove $hrough London's streets between air raid plarms with complete indifference to the #isks they were taking, calls an Empire's Prateful attention to the truly heroic lead- ership being given by its Sovereigns. It isn't that this incident was something gew and unusual; quite the contrary. From Whe day this war was declared, King George WI and Queen Elizabeth have shared the mnxieties, difficulties and dangers of their pubjects in the Homeland as a matter of pourse. Indeed, so matter-of-factly have Bhey discharged their Royal duties, but with more than Royal devotion, their hero- fam has almost been taken for granted. Opening of the British parliament in ac- pustomed if restricted state emphasises, Wery strikingly, that the highest qualities of British citizenship are embodied in the Individuals whom destiny called to this Em- pire's Throne. : In 1914-18, Albert of Belgium won the tle of "Hero King" and nobly deserved it. But in this war, with all England a front Mne trench in terms of the previous world war, it is our own Sovereigns who have modestly displayed valiant leadership in _2ts highest form, and without any able to @ispute the claim made for them by their subjects in all the pages of human history. Young Officer's Gesture One of the finest incidents ever reported from the Dominion Parliament was that published on Tuesday about Lieut. Allan Chambers, 81 year old member for Nanaimo, B.C., and a subaltern of the fam- ous Sixteenth Canadian Scottish Regiment which is engaged in important coast de- fence service. 2 Mr. Chambers made an address on the floor of the House in excellent French, according to those there who are well qualified to judge. He stated that he was doing so by way of reciprocating the cour- tesy of a recent suggestion by Premier Godbout of Quebec who urged that his fel- Jow French-speaking Canadian learn Eng. lish. The Nanaimo M.P., serving his second $erm in the Parliament of Canada, suggest- od that Hon. Mr, Godbout's good advice should work both ways. Back to that sermonette on national unity was a political preacher who began to practice some years ago. When he first came to Ottawa, Mr. Chambers asked that he might have a French-speaking colleague as a desk-mate, and put in part of three days a week learning French. All those who have a bit of spiritual mercury in their blood, such as those of French descent will especially appreciate this gracious gesture. But Mr. Chambers' gesture was so time- ly, and took on such special dignity due to the Canadian military kilt he was wearing, that he is likely to receive Dominion-wide commendation. Along with the commenda- tion might go that sincerest form of flat- tery which is imitation. Anything that can further the cause of Canadian unity needs to be encouraged. Meeting Open " All Tonight's public meeting at the Genosha Hotel, which will be addressed by the Hon. G. Howard Ferguson, whose various titles to distinction are well known, is one which should be very largely attended not only as a compliment to Mr. Ferguson, but to the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce that, from month to month, is sponsoring these open meetings where men of the highest eminence in Canada are appearing as guest speakers. It can be said, with every urgency of hospitality, that the invitation is extended to all, irrespective of age, sex, wealth or creed. Nothing throws a ranking public speaker like Hon. Mr, Ferguson off his stride so much as being asked to address a group that looks like Sunday evening congregations do to too many ministers. Every one who can should take advan- tage of the opportunity of hearing Hon. Mr. Ferguson at 8 o'clock tonight. Few Canadians are better qualified by experi- ence and judgment to make a great war- time speech than he is. It is highly prob- able that what he does say tonight will grip his audience and provide food for thought for weeks to come, & Editorial Notes Devoid of pageantry yet impressive in its solemn ceremony, a new session of par- liament was opened in London by His Majesty King George this week. That, to our way of thinking, in the midst of bomb- ing and the vicissitudes of war, depicts the English morale in its highest and will go a long way to strengthen the confidence of the British people. > > Red Cross workers are urgently needed at the Oshawa Branch, Mrs. Donald Hall says, in an appeal issued yesterday. Head- quarters at Toronto has assigned to the Oshawa Branch the job of making 2.060 garments for war refugees, and the work must be finished by December 16. It is a big task, but with co-operation it can be done. Why not enlist today. Clarence Gillis, C.C.F. M.P., probably went too far in his criticism of members of parliament when he said that 90 per cent of them were not honest. Probably some 90 per cent have another name for the C.C.F. member that would not look good in print. However, calling people bad names never boosts your own party and usually leaves a bad taste with those who listen to it. Working full blast on war orders, Gen- eral Motors will be little affected with the recent edict from Ottawa restricting new models of automobiles. In fact we well re- collect that R. S. McLaughlin, president of the company, said several months before war was declared that the whole General Motors plant would be turned over to the Government if they wanted it to help win the war. oP | A Bit of Verse LANDLORD AND TENANT I think it was at early morn Or possibly at eve Without a hint or word to warn, My tenants planned to leave, For them the building was designed With ten apartments small, But yesterday I woke to find Them vacant -- one and all, When chilly winds begin to blow, By experts I am told, The martins always u Before it gets teo cold. and go And now until they journey baek (Oh, pitiful disgrace!)

" PA - o - Fled From Duce's Bohs | Before France Capitulated HERF T0 STAY Toronto, Nov. 22--Leaving behind them their lovely home in the hills, near Cannes, France, with a valu- able library and a brénd new autg- mobile, Dr. R, Bruce Taylor, ong- time principal of Queen's University, escaped with his wife to England and safety a few days before the capitulation of France. This was the story they told news- men at the Union Station Wednes- day night on their arrival in the city from Montreal, They will re- main here with friends for a fort- night and then go'on to Vancouver, where they plan to settle down-- far from the noise of battle, Looking fairly robust despite a recent illness, Dr. Taylor attached little significance to the dangers he and his wife had undergoge in the past few months in their {light from Il Duce's ruthless bombers, but seemed more concerned over the whereabouts of his valises. He had temporarily misplaced his baggage checks. In the years since his retirement from the principalship of Queen's Dr. Taylor has made several trips across the Atlantic. For the most part, he said, they had lived at Cannes. In 1935 he received a post as chaplain of the Scottish Church in Rome, Italy, which he held for two years. He said his father had served in the same church many years ago. Regrets Loss of Library "The last word I received from Cannes was a letter written by a French neighbor' of ours who told me he was living in our house," Dr. Taylor related. "The Italians haven't moved into Cannes yet, so I presume the house is still intact. I was very sorry to leave my library behind. Tt contained books I have been collect- ing for years, including a number on sailing." Dr. Taylor related how he and his wife had boarded an old tramp steamer once owned by the Polish Government, on June 18, at the port of Cannes. The vessel was jammed | with 830 passengers and a crew of | 37. Many of the passengers slept on | the deck but others sought safety in | ithe holds. "We were all jammed together, | rich and poor," he said. "It was rather odd to see wealthy women, bedecked in expensive jewelry, lying on 'the dirty deck, which was black with coal dust. Before many hours we were all very dirty and uncom- fortable. Altogether we went 20 days without changing our clothes." Dr Taylor said the vessel took six days to reach Gibralter, where they were treated "royally" by the fort- ress residents. En route, however, they were unsuccessfully attacked by an enemy submarine, The sub- marine rose to the surface and fired two shots at their ship, but missed. Then it submerged and loosed two torpedoes but they, too, failed to hit their mark. "We felt positive they were Ital- fans," he said jokingly, "they were such poor shots. Everyone said we would have been goners if they had been Germans." Left Hospital to Escape From Gibralter they proceeded to Liverpool and took the train to Lon. don, where they remained only eight days before sailing for Canada. Dr. Taylor revealed he had been conva- lescing from "an old ailment" in a hospital in Cannes when he and Mrs. Taylor were forced to flee. They said their trans-Atlantic voy age was uneventful except that it | was unusually 10ugh. Prior to his retirement Dr. Tay- lor had served for twelve years as head of Queen's University, He was born in Dumbartonshire, Scotland, | and educated in England. He came | to Canada in 1911 and served over- | | | seas with the 42nd Battalion, CEF., as honorary chaplain, in 1915 and 1918, SAVE LIST SHIP OR THEIR LOADS Salvage Men Have Brought Torpedoed Vessels to Port Somewhere on the English Coast, Nov. 22 (CP).--News of British shipping losses is not always as bad as it seems, When merchant ships are announced as victims of ene- | my action a proportion may live to sail another day--thanks to salvage erperts of the admiralty. Whenever a vessel is mined, bombed or torpedoed near the Bri- tish coast in a position which of- fers these tough, sea-going 'wreck ers" a sporting chance, they start to work, They do so with three objects: 1, To refloat the vessel and bring her inte port. '2, If the vessel can't be sayveq, to salvage as much of her cargo as possible, 3. If both vessel and cargo are beyond hope, to remove as much valuable scrap iron as possible, In a surprisingly high proportion of vessels reported lost, valuable or material have been saved, even if the ship could not pe sal- vaged. The most hopefu] cases are dealt with first. Other wrecks, which offer ultimate hopes of suc- sald that Robert Henessy of Hailey- cess to the salvage men, although necessitating time and labor which might be better employed elsewhere, are surveyed and their particulars filed with a view to post-war sal- vage. ' One wreck in this district, that of a ship which struck a mine, was a considerable distance off shore and lay in an exposed position. But the sea was calm and the salvage men went to work. The cargo of cereals was removed with little difficulty and when dried and de-salted made excellent fod- der, A temporary patch was put over the hole beneath the waterline where the mine had struck and the wreck was towed into port for dry- docking. ; The chief salvage officer said crews are constantly at work around the coasts and it was hard to estl- mate how many ships were being dealt with at one time. Nor did he know the score to date. "It's really dangerous work when you get an exposed wreck some way off shore," he said. "My men risk being attacked by the Jerries while they are at work."

J. Symington, ¥Pederal power controller, stated in eonnec- tion with the suggestion. that , it might be abandoned or curtailed as a result of complaints being made to members of Parliament. "It is liable t§ be extended to any part of the colintry where war in- dustry, which is very diversified, has a peak of power needing te be curtailed," a spokesman for the munitions department acded Several months ago, daylight sav- ing time was.ordered continued the year-round in 'Ontario and Quebec municipalities which ordinarily are on fast time during the summer. As a result, it is estimated that the total off-peak savinz has been 189, 000 horsepower--114 C00 in Ontario and 75,000 in Quebec. ; The rural parts have never gone in for it on the ground that, put- ting the clock ahead, does not de- ceive a cow as to the proper milk- ing hour or remove the morning dew from the grass VICTORIA WARDEN PREDICTS SURPLUS Urges County Assist in War to Utmost Lindsay, Nov. 22--In his opening address Wednesday at the final No. vember session of Victoria County Council, Warden 8. Clifford Benson predicted that surpluses would exist in each municipality at the end of the year. Referring. to the international situation, Warden Benson declared: "Our people are not broken as the enemy had hoped, but are more resolute and determined than ever before to see this war through to a victorious conclusion regardless of the cost and I trust and hope that all times and ia all ways this county will assist to the extreme of her ability to this end." Councillors turned down a motion from Huron County requesting their concurrence in a resolution urging that the traffic law be amended whereby the driver of a car, striking cattle within view of ten rods on the highway be held responsible for any damage done tc the animals. It was approved that the farmers placing fences along county roads be given a bonus of 40 cents per rod providing the original fence has been up for 25 years and the re- placement is done under the super vision of the county engineer. and Miss Ritchie's wrist Hennessy said he had stopped for a traffic signal at Avenue Road and Bloor Street. "There were sev- eral cars alongside mine, The next thing I knew the rear door had been opened and a man was 'n the back pressing a gun into me." The driver was ordered to drive to a quiet street where he and Miss Ritchie were ordered to deliver their money and valuables, That Body Of Yours By James W, Barton, M.D. WHY MIDDLE AGED INDIVIDUALS NOW LIVE LONGER Whenever you hear about how much longer men and women live today than just twenty-five years ago, you know that the main rea- son is that there are not so many children die at birth or during their first year now. Also that infectious diseases of children can be prevent- ed. What many of us fail to remem- ber is thet the middle-aged man and woman of today has a longer expec- tation of life than ever before de- spite the fact that he may not be very robust. Why has the middle-aged indivi- dual a longer life expectancy de- spite the fact that he is not more robust than were those of middle age, twenty-five years ago? The reason is that men and wo- fnen with heart disease, diabetes, pernicious anaemia, high blood pres- sure or other "dangerous" conditions have been told by their physicians and many have learned for them- selves, how to'live "safely", Thus I spoke a few weeks ago of meeting a middle-aged friend walk- ing much slower than was his cus- tom. On questioning, he admitted that his physician had advised him that if he wanted to live for a num- ber of years, he could do so by walk- ing more slowly, resting more, giving up some of his teaching work and learning to relax more. We have friends and acquaintances who follow a low starch diet or take insulin injections daily and live a normal life. Formerly these cases died in a short time with diabetes. They have learned also not to allow themselves to put on excess fat, Similarly with that formerly fatal disease pernicious anaemia, Many a bright and useful man and woman formerly passed away in a few months or a year following some shock or infection. Today, these men and women eat about a quarter pound of liver daily or take liver ex- tract. and continue to live. Less than twenty years ago, opera- tion for ulcer of the stomach or small intestine (peptic ulcer) was common. Today the majority of ulcer patients have learned how to live safely and free from ulcer sym- ptomis by following a diet, avoiding emotional disturbances and remov- ing or preventing infection of teeth, tonsils, gall bladder and intestine, In other words, the heart patient lives a "heart" life, the diabetic a "diabetic" life, and the ulcer pat- lent an "ulcer" life. By living their kind of life, they continue to live, CONANT ORDERS POLICE PROBE Suspend Two Officers as Evidence Disappears at Combine Club Toronto, Nov. 22.- Investigation inte the conduct of two Provincial Constables of hecadquartews' divi- sion, Queen's Park, who Over the week-end were detailed to guard gambling paraphernalia in the raided Combine Club, was ordered yesterday by Attormey-Getieral Co- nant.

Such complaints, 'he ost Of- fice points out, wil! be fully undér- standable, put under the circum- stances there is nothing that can be done about it. hy y It is also pointed out that under the present system of 'h mall for the troops overseas 21] mail which is correctly addressed is for- warded in sealed bags either from the Base Post Office at ttawa or from the Canadian Base Depot in the United Kingdom to the various units, Under this system, if the mall is properly addressed in the first place, it will reach :he unit without any avoidable delay. In ,the majority of cases where complaints have been registered, it was found that the delay was due to incomplete or insufficient ad-. dress on the letter or parcel. GIVING OF BLOOD WORKS MIRACLES Many Down-and-Out- ers Change Lives After Blood Donations Chicago, Nov, 22--(AP)--"Downe and-outers" in Chicago are serving humanity--with blood. Voluntarily they are giving their blood to prolong or save the lives of strangers. Some 50 transients who have sought shelter at the Chicago Christian, Industrial League Mis~ sion on Chicago's west side are the men who give. Each is the pogsessor of a tiny gold pin inscribed simply "I Serve" o and a certificate attesting to char- sick in body and | ity toward the poor in purse. The pins and certi- ficates are the gifts of the Mission whose superintendent is Rev. Wil- liam Seath Each donor 1s certified by a physician as being physically fit, "Miracles have happened to these men since they started doing something for other people" said Mr. Seath. "And those with whom they have come in contact have benefitted spiritually as well as physically. It has been the means of putting a number of men back on the right track, of reuniting some of them with their families, or changing the courses of several lives. Call it a miracle if you want. It is a miracle." missioner W. H. Stringer, was ore dered after Inspector E. D. L. Hammond, CIB. reported to the Minister that some of tte equip- ment was missing on Monday when he and his associates in Saturday night's raid made an inventory. Both constables, in the meantime, are under suspension. Officials of the Crown refused to give any information as to the number of card decks, dice sets and other items which are believed to have vanished from the club's gam- ing rooms. It is stated, however, that the number excludes the pos- sibility that they might have beer taken for souvenirs. One report hac it that in addition to 15 or 20 pounds of butter and a length of garden hose, that two dozen decks of cards and fifty pairs of dice, the latter neatly initialled with the club's insignia, were missing.
