THURSDAY, MARCH 2lst, 1935 Attend the Hospital Birthday Party On Thumsday next, March 28th, the Wamen's Aux- iliary af Bowmanville Hospital will stage their an- nual brthday party in the Nurseý,' Rasidenc'c. This is perhaps the mast important avent in the year for this organizatian, anci there are few avents worthier of greater public support than this. Bawmanville Hospital carrnes on a great humanitamian task, at a comparatively sinaîl cast. If every patient was ta pay the prevailing rates, the hospital wauld still nat ba able ta carry on an the incarne . Th reasaon for this is that the incarne is nat guaranteed. nar is it steady. but the saine staff. the saine overhead ex- penses go an rrespectiva. Withaut going inta any détails the general public ara well aware that there are many families unabla ta pay haspitalizatian. The towný and cauntias make a grant taward this end but even this doas nat c:over it ail, and s0 we sea the hospital anr.ually facing a déficit. This déficit wauld ba infinitely great.er were It not for the services of the Wamen*s Auxiliary, who purchase hundrads ai dolars worth af needed e- cjuirements af the hospital each year. The abject of this éditorial is puraly ta urge those wha raad it ta gîve the hospital their heartiest sup- port an this birthday occasion. To thase wha live in adjacent municipalities may we suggest the very true fact that the hasptal is as much for yaur use as it ia anyane's in the tawn. You are free ta use it at fia greater expense. Public support will maintain and assure a local hospital. If the sad trne cames when the camrnnuity cannat suppart the haspital, then its closing will mean that many seriaus caves wauld have ta be treatad elsewhere, and the delay and incon- venience in opérations andi treatinent might mean the difféence between life and death. Sa on Thurs- day next accept the invitation ai the Warnen's Aux- lliary ta attend thair Birthday Party and aid thain in the splendid wark thay are accomplishing. Pronioting a National Government Friday's daily newspapers carried the stamy that a group ai Ontario business men had met for the pur. pose ai arganizing ta place a National Gavarnnieni ln power in Ottawa. This interesting annauncement will ha greated with pleasure by a large number af Canadians who are sick and tiraci ai the hide-bound party political f arm of gavammant whîch shows a far greatar zeal in fighting for party pinciples than it does for the country's welfare. Party proponaents, who have seen this mova in the ai fing, have suggestad that it ia a maya ta bring about the amalgamation ai the Canadian National and the Canadian Pacific Railways, and a protection for the manied intenests. This sounds like party political backwash. brought aut in an endeavour tc discredit the systein ai a national gavermient. We ara confident that the thausands ai Canad- lans whohava bacoma dsgusted with party politics, and who are really interested in saaing Canada forge ahead undar a govanment untetherad by panty tra- ditions and sliish interasts, will dismiss froin their mlnds the suggestion that a National Govenmnent will pratact any particulan cla.ss or interest. If this mavamant should prove a monaysavar tc the country, and would raliave c1tizens of a large portion ai their aven mounting tax burdens, then by ail means amalgamata the railways, whathan the aid lina parties agree on not. Great Bitain has made a ramarkable racovany under a National Govermm-nt. That saine nation pullad thnough the Great Wan undar a national gav- eninent, and Canada did the saine thing. Mare power ta thosa broad minded Libeaas. Con- servatives, Laboritas and others who will pull ta- gethan in a single gavrninent for the btterment af conditions thnoughout Canada. But lets be sure this mavement for a national govemniment is not being urgad by thosa finan"ial barons ai Mantraal and Tor- onto who are shameful traitors in thain lust for gold in the much abused capital!stic systein. which sys- tam we favanad until the rich bacame richer and the poor bacame pooer. Here's the Way to Civic Beauty Begmn your civic beautification on Main Street, urges Earnest Elmo Caîkins, dean af Amer:can ad- vertising, men, in the curent Rotarian Magazine. Every visitor sees Main Street, but it aiten lags fan bahind the residentiai section, aven in tawns which are becoming beauty cansciaus. "And why is it," ha asks, -that a business man wha takas prude in the appearance ai his home grounds doas flot appiy the sainc philosaphy ta his store, or shop, or office? It is fan more essantial in one way, for attractive business places draw trade." "Oi course, the first step taward making youn town betten looking," says Mr. Caîkins, 'is ta create a pub- lic opinion, a local self consciousness, a coinmunity prude which will soon seek Justification. Whan a town is once thus arousad ta the ecanornic advantagas of beautifying itýeIf, the programme becornes dafim- ita. It is easy ta create an ideai community when ana stants froin the grounri up. but mo'v't ai us must work with the town.s %e hava, which hava alraady gravn %without guidance. and the first problein is ta undo, remova or hide eyesores, and emphat4cally to establish a public spirit that will cantrol ail future developinents aong the hast lunes." "Tracs on main street are perhaps not practicabla," ha suggests, "though they xill bae in the future when we bagin ta apply aIl we have leamned about town planning. And factonies can ha and hava been made as picturesqua as aid castIes by treas and vines. It is possible ta dlean up vacant lots and plant them-and thbsls 1o na step toward slling thain-to abolish un- ilecessary signs, ta produce soe unifonmity, ta use color and helght and conice ta bring about harmony inI place of the heteroganeous hadga-podga that s the principal tharoughfare af mast middle-sizad towns."l #-of course, we cannot tean the town dawn and ha- gin ail over, but new buildings are enectad fmcm time to trne. There should ha a plan, an idea taward whlch the town coUld work. Showy pretanse imust ha ,avoided, such as concrete blocks masquerading as honest stone, stamped tin comnices, corrugatad iron roofs. Such thingas do nat icol anybady. The mna- tariai shauld be honest, honestly used. Yau may gat used ta it. seemng it evary day. but visitors see it with a fresli eye, and judge the tawn just as yau iudge a man, by Its dress." Roaring Ranting Harmnless Politicians To saine the character of "Mr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde" is a charactar anly in fiction, and the real hurnan caunterpant doas flot exist. One has only, however, ta read daily newspapers ta find that there are scores of Mr. Jekyls and Mr. Hydes in public lufe. Reading the reports af debates in the Legis- lature we ara aiten surprised and diçgusted at saine ai the uncauth ramarks that are flung across the floor af the house by bath goverinent and opposi- tion members. It wauld seem f romn these remarks that the Liberals believe there does nat exist a decent living. reasonable thinking Conservative, while the Tories appear ta think vice-versa. Visualizing the debatas, or arguments, ana gets the picture ai angry politicians, like mad dogs on a laash, striving to get at aach other's thraats, and held back only by Brit- ish canventionalities and tradition. Angry wards and gastures, red faces, and touchy tampars wauld give the casual observer the idea that thesa men wera arch enemies who absoluteiy hated each ather. And yat in the same newspaper ana reads that soe politicaI magul halds a raception or pink tea and it is attended by Libarals and Conservatives alika, wha mingla in a most friendiy way, when only a few haurs befora they had been 1'terally black- guarding aach other. Again wa find thein saated around the haspitable table of the Lieutenant Gov- rnor at Chorley Park, outwardly as friendly as if ail were sweet and seene. The real modemn couniterpart ai the original Mx-. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde is surely the prasent day palitic- ian, the man who for publcity's saka is a bitter pro- tagonist, and wha for decency's saka is a cheerful friand. The legislating halls ai this Dominion con- jtain hundreds ai such spacimens af hurnanity. Isn't it a funny world aiter al Crmre News and Ità Effect on Youth Fulton Oursler, Editor af Liberty Magazine, takas quite an original viewpofnt ai the subject ai crime news and its psycholagical affect on its readars, pâr- ticularly ts mare Youthful readers. This nated jaurnalist writes: "Sa me months aga, thiavas held up a bank truck in Brooklyn and got away with $427000. This story was pamaded in exclamatary headlinas al aver the country. The skill andi audacity ai the bandits were extolled and the magnitude of tha boat was emphas- ized. Ail this gave encouragement ta petty thieves and Young men hesîtating an the bink ai a cnim- mnal careen." "For example. let me point ta ana word that is frequently inisused in the daily nawspapens. This word s 'daring.' Now, daning is a word that holds magic for yauth. Every boy likes ta ha thought ai as daingý. Whain headline writers and reporters use the word daring in cannactian with a haldup, they are dignifying that crime wlth a termn that impiies saine lemant ai the heroic. Subcansciously tbey are affecting the attitude of Young readers toward that crime. They are lmparting ta it a c'or of romance." "Instead af such an Insldiously destructive attitude created by the use of the wrang word. an exactly opposite impression can ha created by tlie use ai athar words lika "atrociaus" and "cawandly." whlch wouid make the readars say, 'this is damnable! This is the womk ai blaadthimsty murderers. Nana ai us is safa until the perpetrators ai this de2d are caught and punishad." To descniba criminals as bold, daring, intrepid, audacious, nervy, plucky, is ta cast the wrang em- phasis, and ta influence the minds ai yaung people the wrang way. And it is the Young men who com- mit most af aur crimes. We Alil Want Action - Quick Resuits! eWalal deaaly love ta sea quick rasults. We yeamn jta, bring home the bacon-immeduataîy. Wa plant a crap un the mamning and hope ta harvest t in tha Saiternoon. Quick rasults! Yet haw seldoin do wa praduce qulck results? Our hast work aitan takes years ta ha recognized.

We anvy tha bricklayer whc can drap his trowal at f ive in the aitemnoan and, ba- fore ha starts home, look up and see a dafinite place af the wall that ha built that very day. For, alas, ai] too aitan aur msuits ara practically invisible. Thats haw hard t is ta get rasuits whan yau're trying ta build yourself up. But quick results are easy whan you're tearing yaurself dowrn! Just put the necessary time, money. and intensity into saine vice or indulgence, saine f arm ai persanal destruc- tion, and you get the results right off the bat. Are thay quick? Oh, boy! They carne so f ast they hit you hafora yau aven thought they wera due! Tean yaurself down with intamperanca, recklPss- na.ss, sloth, viciousness, hatîed, dereliction main duty. Na question about it, theme's a great thrill in the gaina, the pace is awfully fast; you surely get action! Quick results! The reason you gat quick recuits whan you'ra tear- ing yourself dow*n is that the world affens no ra- sistance on interianance to the action. Many so- callad "frlends" and many more real anemies will land you a helping hand in the process. You'Il get p]enty af coapenation in spending yaur inoney, In nuining your health, in shiattsring your morale. When yau*re going dawnhill, thayre al willing (and afixiaus> ta give yau a push. Quîck rezuIts! Why, whan yau'ra tearing yourself dow-n, you traval sa fast the bottain hits you befora you hit it! But when you'ne building yaunseli up, qu;ck resuits ara waafully missing. Virtua, iabar, courage carry only a mild wallop. Develcpment la as slow as mol- asses. Quick reýults ara not in the cards.

Goad rsz s r always slow rasults! 4WL- t--fe a - 1 ---- ý . . -.- The Cultivation of Good Englith Modern slang has been the cause ai breeding a slackness of speech through which the purity of the English language is becomnig seriously imperilled. The, tendency of Young people 1.5 ta slur words, ta contract thein, and ta punctuate their sentences with others that have no place in the dlictionary. There is, however, one redeeming feature, and one important force which tends to keep the purity of our language w.thin reasonable baunds, and that force is the better type of radio announcer. Just run your thoughts for a moment over the announce- ments made by such radio announcers as Jimnmy Wallington, Deems Taylor, Ted I-using,. Ford Barnes. Harry Vonzelle. Bill Hay, and others who use excell- ent English. These men are playing an important part in the cultivation af better speak:ng. Their articulation. their emphasis, the persanalhty in their voices and manner, ail tend ta counteract the detri- mental forces at work dastroying. uncon.sciously, the beauty of the most spoken language in the world.* Radio announicers may seem ta be re!atively un- important people, yet at the same time they are stu- dents af correct speech. and their voices are heard more often than aeven the great politcians ai the nation. One comments on thair manner as much as those whom they announec. They have, as we have pointed out, a splendid effect an those who listen,j and those who are interested in the preservation of a pure. clear. unadulterated, perfectly pronounced Engllsh, might do well to Platen carefully and try and imitate their virtues in the int.erests af a more pleasing and more cultured specch.j Editoràa.1Notes The propased plan ta grant upper echool certif ic- ates upon the -recommendation of the principal will sava the parenrwonsidetable money in fees and the students much worry over exams. It will likewise deprive teachers ai the tidy bit of revenue they have heretofore recaived for prasid.ing at examinations and reading papers. Some fear favoritismn on the part of principals.

An article appearing in The Labor Leader, arnd witten by H. G. Fester, former Vice Chairman ai the Minimum Wage Board, hais been drawn ta aur attention. It deals with Canadian Canners Ltd., which campany aperates a plant in Bowmanville and which saine months ago we saw fit ta crit.ciza an its 10w wage palicy. Part of the letter reads, «"Despite aIl handicaps, Canadian Canners Ltd., on the whole, obeyad the law and conscientiously endeavored ta have their com- Petitors do the saine." In another section af the lettex- it is drawn ta the attention af readers that the company was faced with viciaus and unfair coin- petitian, and independent canners unashamedly and openly vialated the, law. The amazing part of this latter seans 'ta be that Mr. Faster admits these things. and yet he appar- antly did nathing as Vice-Chairman of the Board ta recti.fy the situation. We do not doubt for one min- ute that the Canadian Cannars were facad with un- fair cmpetition, such as most campanies are thtee days, but we doubt whether that gives thern a legit- imate excuse ta pay the 10w wages t1hey have paid in Bowm.anviUle the past few years. A faim wage is a f air waga, irrespective ai what unf air campetition ane is faced with, and wa suggest that if thîs campany was unfaimly treated by its competitors and knew it, it had the Minimum Wage Board ta make it.s com- plaints ta.
