In our Opinion they are far superior to the California orange, taste better, and are much more juicy, and in every way surpass the California pro- duct, with which Canadians have so long been familiar. More than that, they cost no more,‘ and, with a steady trade, will cost less, because' so familiar, are usually shipped overland, and: land freight rates are much higher than by‘I Water. There ll one thing about the British This week we have enjoyed some. oranges from British Honduras, in Central America, a crown colony of Great Britain, situated east of Guatamela and bordering on the Mexican Re- public, and almost directly south of Durham in 16 degrees, north latitude. Known also as Bel- ize, the capital of which bears this name, it has been a British possession since 1783, and has a population of about 50,000. British goods are the equal of any. We are not so enthusiastic as to say they are the best. That sounds a little thick, but we have yet failed to see where British manufactured or grown products are not at least the equal of anything produced elsewhere in the world. The treatment of deserving cases is being jeopardized by the canvassing carried on by professional beggars who are taking full ad- vantage of conditions. The public should be charitable, but there is no reason why they should be victimized. man, Miss Weir, who represents the Women’s Institute, Mrs. G. A. Thompson the Red Cross, Miss M. Hunter the I.O.D.E., W. A. Glass, Dr. Grant, Reeve Bell, or H. C. Rose, who will see that they are given the necessary food and; lodging. With this committee functioning, there is no necessity for citizens being asked for assistance, but of course, if they choose to do so, there is no law to prevent it. With a regularly appointed relief com- mittee to look after these transients, the town citizens should leave it in their hands, and dir- ect these men to Councillor Willis, the chair- A couple of these itinerants came into the Chronicle office the other day, soliciting the wherewithal for a meal. It was early in the afternoon. We directed them to Chief Scott, or to Councillor Willis, who is chairman of the local Relief Committee, who would, we assured them, get them a meal. They were in a hurry, however, stating they were on their way to Barrie, and did not care to wait for meal time. Naturally, we told them to go to Barrie. We suppose they did, for we haven’t heard anything of them since. Last week’s Mount Forest Confederate tells of a couple of these transients calling on a householder in that town asking aid. They were directed to the Relief Committee, but said they had been refused. They were given fifty cents, and the householder afterwards called up the‘ mayor. Mayor Flett found the men later at the' town hall, where they had a basket of ham sand- wiches, buns, and other eatables. They also had the fifty cents, for, according to the news re- port, they left Mount Forest the next day smok- ing good cigars. We would caution residents of the town against being too forward in extending charity to transients. Too many nowadays are taking advantage of conditions and many are living by their wits who are not deserving of the charity they seek. In Durham as in a good many towns‘ there is a relief committee, and to these and these only, should be delegated the authority to dispense assistance. We advocate this, not because we do not believe in the work, but be- cause far too many are ringing door bells and visiting business houses. Most of them want money to buy a meal, when as a matter of fact; all they want is the money. Durham is not the‘: only town by any means where this condition ' prevails. LET THE RELIEF COMMITTEE FUNCTION Whosososr is afraid of submitting any question, civil or religious, to the test of free discussion, is more in love with his own opinion than with the Truthâ€"WATSON.

The fellows who are accused of having brought on the depression might have the nerve to insinuate that when we had the money we gallivanted around the country to this, that and the other thing, and that it all costs money and misuse of energy, and the late hours we have been keeping takes away from the energy needed to successfully run a business. They may tell us that instead of hewing the wood and drawing the water, we have been hewing the water and letting the wood look af- ter itself. They may point out that when times were good we became extravagant. “Jack is as good as his brother.” If the brother bought a Damn the banks, the Government (all of them), the paved highways, improved roads takers.

' and, now that the United States has locked the door on Canadian products, ours is a home which has taken a vow to never again have a California orange in our home when this delect- able British-grown product is available. We are not going to ask our readers to buy this British product. That is their privilege. We do, though, ask them to try them. After that they’ll buy. At least that is our experience, HAUL IN THE SLACK the common people in of these things, but THE DURHAM CHRONICLE reason we hope there my be no wholesale dia- mantling of these country institutions, as we and in this the smaller institutions have it over the big fellows like a tent. If they haven’t why is it so many city people come to the smaller hospitals for treatment? The writer has had some experience in hos- pitals, large and small, and for real, human have yet to learn that it is service, not over- head, that makes for the success of a hospital,; Not only giving better care to their pa- tients, these smaller hospitals have turned out a more efficient class of nurses, nurses who can go into a home where there is sickness home meant pandemonium, as a graduate . nurse from the larger hospitals invariably cannot get herself a bucket of water, but must depend upon someone to bring it to her. She country people can see, the Nurses’ Federation has started a campaign to raise nursing into the category of a “profession”, with the nurse menial tasks. . : Mr. Nickle, the Ontario Hospital Associa- ‘ campaign so far seems one of gain rather than service. g In their campaign they have been ably as- , sisted by the Nurses’ Federation, until at last .there has been legislation passed that have placed the smaller hospitals in an impossible position, and many, if not all of them, will be forced to close their doors. Despite Mr. Nickle’s position a; trustee of Mr. Nickle’s remarks may have been re- ceived with approval by the Hospital Associa- } tion, but we are convinced they will not go down with those in favor of having hospitals in the smaller centres of the province. His remarks pitals are well timed, and a further warning of what the public may expect when the hospitals in the larger centres have the field to them- Speaking at the ninth annual convention of the Ontario Hospital Association meeting at Kingston last week, Hugh Nickle, trustee of the Kingston General Hospital, said: It’s a great life and one can always make a hit by visiting the iniquities of ourselves on the bankers, the manufacturers, the govern- ments,â€"â€"and the tariff. Even at that, we are slow to believe that for the sake of economy many of us would throw away our cars, do away with the radio,- travel over the old-time unimproved roads, or tear up our hardwood floors and barefoot it out to the kitchen to light the morning fire over pine boards full of slivers. We are not kicking about these things. We are kicking because we have to pay for them. the majority as compared with fifteen or twenty years ago. We might even admit that our pro- vincial highway system was demanded by the people, the same people who are now condemn- ing them, but whose condemnation did not manifest itself until the notes were due.
