Sixty years of Canadian progress is being illustrated in splendid exhibition palaces at the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto. Those who went down for the official opening Saturday report that the "Ex" is bigger and better than ever, On September 15, the South Ontario Agri- cultural Society opens its fall fair in Alexandra Park. It will be Oshawa and South Ontario County's Jubilee Exhibition, also "bigger and better" than any that have precedede it. The Toronto Exposition may appeal more to humanity's love of the splendid and the mass- ive, but nothing in the Canadian National Ex- hibition's grounds will be innately more splen- did than the exhibits and features which will mark Oshawa's Jubilee Fair. The first day of the local fair will be Chil- dren's Day in which some 6,000 public school boys and girls of Oshawa, South Ontario and nearby Durham County points will take part. Palaces may be needed to show the fine pro- ducts of Canadian factories and mills, but the sky itself will canopy these thousands of future Canadians in their march from Memorial Park to Alexandra Park's gates, And as they march, with young faces turned to the future, no man or woman with a heart attuned to a love of children and native land can help but say: "There goes tomorrow!" Oshawa's Jubilee Fair is in no sense a com- petitor with the annual world's fair at Toronto, but in its own field it plays a splendid and dis- tinctive role, It is the whole county's shop window, showing not only. material prosperity but those evidences of culture which make a people honorable and honored. Directors and officers of the South Ontario Agricultural Society are making zealous ef- forts should meet, as they will, with the fullest measure of public support and individual in- terest. MUCH NEEDED REGULATION, {t was perhaps with surprise that many citizens of Oshawa noted that the long-talked of Restaurant Regulation By-law has not al- ready been put on the statute books of the City of Oshawa. Such a by-law's need is obviously one about which there should be no two opinions, Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of Oshawa's industrial population eat at some of the city's restaurants, cafes or lunch rooms each day. To learn that these restaurants are not now sub- ject to rigid examination and civic authority would in many cities less ambitious than Osh- awa cause a public scandal, The Board of Health proposes to provide a law, modelled on acts in force in other cities of this province, which will require all em- ployees of places selling prepared food to undergo an immediate physical examination and to be re-examined each six months. The object of that section of the by-law would be to weed out any that may be suffering from tuberculosis and other communicable diseases. It is possible that there is not one restau- rant employee in Oshawa that has tubercu- losis, but it is probable that several suffering from that dread disease are serving the public daily, Restaurant prices in Oshawa, moreover, are not so low as to make it impracticable for civic health authorities to demand scrupulous clean- liness in the preparation and serving of food. Again, and to the credit of some, most restau- rants may already guarantee such cleanliness and need no coercion. Laws, however, are not made for the inocent but for the guilty. One unclean hand can fill more graves than any other deadly weapon known to science. A PATHWAY TO THE STARS. A campfire held on the low cliffs beside Lake Ontario closed the first summer camp of the Boys' Training operation for six weeks. Half of the school's population was in camp at one time for three weeks holidays. A feature of this experiment was that all these boys were controlled under the kindly discipline of but one school officer. ~~ The closing of the camp is, as an incident, of no special prominence; but maintenance of the camp's discipline under conditions that or- dinarily tend to relation is very significant. It shows that splendid things are being accom- plished at the Boys' Training School. It proves, again, that if a boy is brought into proper en- vironment in time--given intelligence and health--that boy will surmount any nightmare of heredity that man has ever dreamed. Most important of all, however, is that the Boys' Training School is continuing its success- ful work. The experimental stage has passed, and the Press of Ontario should take pains to inform the public to the fullest extent possible. Particularly so because if the Boy's School at Bowmanville can turn 130 neglected young- sters from the path which, hitherto, has led monotonously and tragically to juvenile or other courts, reformatory, and penal institu- tion; then that school is accomplishing some- thing of far more importance to Canada at large and to Ontario in particular than all the overseas flights yet accomplished or projected. Given courage, fair weather, and a good ma- chine, any skilled flyer may cross the Atlantic. The Bowmanville School, however, is show- ing neglected boyhood a Pathway to the Stars. THE NEW GIANT For many years steel has been considered the fundamental and greatest industry, and in certain.respects it will remain so. But there has been in process of building in recent years a corporation that now stands greater than the United States Stee] Corporation. This "upstart" is the General Motors Corpor- ation, whose earnings now exceed those of the United States Steel Corporation, the largest organization in the steel industry. Only once in its history has United States Steel exceeded the record profits of General Motors and that was in 1916 when the steel industry in this country was reaping abnormal profits from European war orders. The combined resources of General Motors and the Ford Motor Company far exceed the combined resources of United States Steel and the next largest steel-producing corporation. And the gross business and gross profits of the automobile industry doubtless are more than those of the steel industry. Since North America has become a continent on wheels, it should occasion no surprise that an automobile-manufacturing concern has swept to sueh a dominating position in indus- try. The automobile needs steel, but the need of the steel industry for the business of the auto- mobile manufacturers is nearly as great. Loss of this business would wipe out the profits of the steel industry and a large part of the in- dustry itself. So closely are the two industries allied that the rumored merging of General Motors and United States Steel seemed a per- fectly natural industrial development. This is the age of steel and motor. A PLEA FOR THE DUB To the champion must go all the glory but why not give the dubs a little attention? Cham- pions come and go, while the dub goes on dub- bing forever, Consider the dub in golf. From the tee he lammed one straight and true a couple of hun- dred yards only to see it hit the top of a bun- ker and fall back into the ditch, He drops out, plays three with a mid-iron and ends another long shot in a water hazard, Three more and he is on the green. He takes the dub's- usual three putts and makes a twelve, Because his game is never championship stuff, after each hole he soliloguizes (within the hearing of others) on the frightful game he is playing on that particular day, and the better his score the louder his soliloquy. On the clubhouse typewriter he types his score after this manner: "$7 --&' () 1 @ :,e1/,-0. Hope of some day beating the club record springs eternal in the dub's breast and he dreams nights of making a hole in one. But they are only hopes and dreams. Give the dub his due. He contributes the comedy and, besides, supports the club, pros, and champions. He may be a dub, not because he dubs on'the links and in his other pastimes, but because he pays all the bills and gets none of the committee places, publicity and fame. Rotten as it is, he loves his game. EDITORIAL NOTES Trifles may make perfection, but trifling does not. Some aviators break records, and others break their necks. About the most expensive thing on earth is too much economy. There are many persons who will need to perspire before they will prosper. The man who really likes work can demon- strate it more easily than he can prove it by talking. Many a man thinks he is getting along fairly well if the charges cannot be proved against him. THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, AUGUST 29, 1927 d in accord with the Copyright Act. By Jas. W. Barton, M.D. SAVING LIFE AFTER ELECTRIC SHOCK You have been thrilled recently, as you read about a case of shock by electricity, that relays of men have kept up artificial respiration for hours and days, in an effort to save the lif of the victim. In death from electric shock it has been learned that about one half died from heart failure, and the other half from failure of the lungs to work. The e¢lectricity so ssocks the nerve centres that there is no response, no effort on the part of the nerves sup- plying heart and lungs to act. They are completely paralyzed. 'This is the reason that massage and other measures do not meet with sue cess in these severe cases, Dr. R. W. Urquhart tells us "that when the electric current does not cause charring of nerve structures, the paralysis is recovered from, and the eflexes return, provided efficient arti- ici iration is applied. ficial respiration should Le commenced immediately and kept up for hours and days, when possible, iy using relays of helpers." It is not con sidered wise to stop all efforts to re vive a victim simply because the or dinary signs of death may be present, | that is the heart not beating, and the lungs not breathing the air in and cut. The test of holding a mirror to the mouth, which would be moistened ii the patient were breathing, would like- | wise be of no value, because for the i} time being at least, the patient is not breathing. The workers should keep working steadily with artificial respiration, A« | you know the Schafer method is very simple. The patient is placed face downward on the ground. You put yourself astride or on one side of the patient' body, in a kneeling position, facing the head. Placing your hands flat in the small of his back, with the thumb nearly touching, and the fingers sprea | out on each side of the body over th: lowest ribs, lean forward, and steadily allow the weight of your body to fall over upon them, and so produce a firm downward rpessure, which must not violent, Immediately thereafter, swing back ward, relaxing the pressure, but with out ilfting hands from patient's body Repeat this forward and backward movement every four or five seconds Remember to keep it up for hours and even days, for as long as there i any warmth ip the body there is hope This knowledge may save a life sometimes, WHAT OTHERS SAY PAY WITHOUT WINCING (Toronto (Globe) Britain's national debt, according to an official paper, is $£37,000,000,000, 1: is quite a considerable obligation t have to go to sleep on, but Britai will pay it--every cent of it. STILL, SMALL VOICE (Life) Mrs. Petunia Riggs has at last lo cated the squeak in the rear of her car which has been bothering her fo the past few days. It was her husbanc requesting from the back seat that she drive a little slower. BEAUTY AND THE BENCH (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette) A certain New York judge says that when he sees a man with "receding chin, protruding jaw, a wide unwinking; stare, a droop mn the left eyelid, a loy, brow, a bumpy brow, thick hair and ears set at right angles to the head, he is convinced he has .a criminal be fore him. Anybody of that description surcly would arouse a grave suspicion, at least. THE FARMER'S LOT (Hamilton Spectator) The newspaper and the radio keep the farmer in touch with the outside world to an extent which rivals th. knowledge of the ordinary city dwell er, who is too often occupied with tri vial amusements. Given assistance in the co-operative marketing of his pro ducts so as to be assured of a fair re turn, as Premier Ferguson proposes, the outlook for stability and prosper ity of the farmers and their families will be such as to improve conditions and make contentment general. ------ GONE DAFFY ON DRESS (Galt Reporter) No girl in her teens should be en- couraged to turn up her nose at cotton hosiery or to make odious comment cn the apparel of other girls attending school. One shuddérs almost to think of the effect of such upbringing, and parents who deliberately seek to dis- play the young girls in fine and expen- sive raiment ought to consider the possible serious effect created in the child's outlook on life. There are schools that discourage the wearing of finery during' school hours and others, often of a private nature, that order all pupils to wear uniform attire. Without going to extremes it ought to be made incumbent on every school staff to discourage any tendency in the pupils to extravagance or ini- modesty in school attire. Girls gradu- ating from collegiates should be ex- pert in history, languages and the sciences, not experts in fashions. SACCO AND VANZETTI (Stratford Beacon-Herald) A jury in 1921 took only a few hours to bring in a verdict of guilty. The de- fence contended that the men were armed because they feared attack and deportation as radicals; witnesses were produced to contradict identification. The mistake was to let the case drag on for so many years. As the scenes of the murder got farther removed, it became comparatively easy to picture a state of persecution. Ey he) Kind p; were al C1 7 The closing chapters of the careers of these two foreigners for a cringe of seven years .ago will bring to the pub- lic mind the fact that Harry Thaw, a millionaire, who shot rival in love, is still at liberty ;.that Mrs. Snyder and Harry Gray have not been electrogut- ed after one oi the most heinous crimes in history, and the chances seem to be that they may live for a long time yet; that there is talk of parole for Loeb and Leopold. There will be questioning as to why all crimes in the United States do not lead to swift punishment, regardless of the standing of those convicted. CRISP COMMENT Money works the other way, too.
