The Parlia- ment might, infidentally, be better named a lant. Youth" since its members are, for the most part, quite definitely past the knickerbocker stage. This Parliament to which Mr. Saywell is elected is, however, a great force for good citi- zenship in this Province and is potentially cap- wble of filling an ever more important role. It draws its membership from the ranks of veung Ontario who, early in life, feel the chal- ienge of service, In a sense, such lives are dedicated through a vision of what life could ve if men and women everywhere would con- sent to give just one tenth of thair time to the task of leaving the world better than they found it. The Boys Parliament has no parties except in ideals, The defeated accept the triumph of their opponents with a proud determination to work even harder than if their policies had received the most votes, POPPY DAY GUARDS Lux-service men belonging to the local Post »f the Canadian Legion appealed to the City Council last week for an increased police force, and accompanied their petition with the state- ment that veterans had to serve as volunteer constables last Saturday to ensure that the children engaged in selling the symbolic flowers were not robbed in the streets, This sounds very much more like Chicago than Canada, yet it is a fact that no amount of consideration for official sensitiveness should soften beyond a plain statement that this city :8 being made a collective fool out of bythe continued and unchecked operations here of sneak-thieves burglars, and hold- -up men, Nor should Oshawa embark on a policy of police department expansion with mere size as thie sole end in view. Plain speaking in the city's interest demands that the question of quality be given just as earnest consideration as that of quantity, Oshawa's police force is undoubtedly under- staifed, Probably, also, it is underpaid. For its size it may be one of the most efficient units in the Province. But the aldermen owe it fo the city and to police to be sure of that fact or the reverse, The situation seems to require outside ad- vice from someone able to give an unbiased opinion, With a report in its hands, the Coun- cil could then act as it saw best, In any event it should act soon if Oshawa, this winter, is not to be made a sort of hunting preserve for crooks operating out of Toronto. POWERFUL A genius is said to have invented a device that will cast a ray of light for a distance of twenty miles through ocean fogs and mists now. impenetrable to the most powerful search- lights, The report goes on to say that the new ray has withstood exacting tests, If the seemingly impossible has been accomp- lished, the benefits that will- follow are inecal- culable, especially in the fields of navigation and transportation, With such a light Chamberlin and Byrd would have found Paris and probably the worst hazard of air navigation would be eliminated, Railroad service would be expedited and made safer. 'On the motor highways, as well as on the high seas, it would remove one of the fore- ' most causes of accident, Some skepticism, however, will be excusable until the actual, success of the invention shall have been demonstrated beyond doubt, The problem fis one which has occupied the close attention of scientists and inventors for many vears without material success and until the ~ public has about given up hope.

NOVEMBER 14, 1927 an airplane, or walk through a dense fog to feel man's powerlessness against this element and man's dire need for a weapon with which to 'conquer it. Conquest of fog would indeed be one of the triumphs of this amazing age of ifivention and great would be the reward that would be heap- ed upon the conqueror by this most apprecia- tive of ages. Is it not true that every time the question of fog arises someone remarks that a fog-piercing light would be worth billions to the inventor? FIREMEN'S WEEKLY HOLIDAY The fireman is pretty much in the same case as Kipling's Thomas Atkins, When the alarm shrills out, when the flames mount skyward, when there's life to save, why its "Hats off to the Fire Laddies" and three prolonged hurrahs. But, given.a summer's day, when the same "laddies" are cbserved playing chequers in the scarlet and brass gloom of a fire station, it gives some people sciatica in the pocket book to pass them by. Belleville illustrates this matter. The Coun- cil of that city objects to weekly holidays for its firemen on the ground that it will mean putting the department on a two platoon basis and other inconveniences. They ask Oshawa's support in an attempt to get the provincial laws amended in that regard. Oshawa, from a saving sense of dignity at least, will not join in this "movement." This city has more than enough to answer for in its recent disastrous fire without joining in any petty effort to make conditions harder for those who risk their lives continuously to pro- tect other people's property. If firemen are not entitled by reason and common sense, and without appeal to the Scrip- tures, to one day's rest in seven then the Lord's Day Act should be repealed. CANADA'S WAR MEMORIAL Properly or should one say "improperly" manipulated, cameras are notable liars. Yet if their evidence is to be accepted in pictures of the design for Canada's National War Mem- orial being assembled at Ottawa, that struc- ture is going to add itself to the unending list of nobly conceived memorials which fall short in particular detail, In the design for the memorial, as pictured, the spectator beholds the foreground held by a struggling mass of soldiers on active service. All arms are apparently represented, and even in"the picture one gets a fine impression of heroic physical effort , earnestness, and dis- cipline, But this group has, very clearly, just emerg- ed through a sort of archway through which one imagines a gun carriage is being drawn, The lead driver is clear of the arch and the centre 'driver is shown still within it. And because of the narrowness of that arch, one gets an overpowering sense not only of painful crowding but of sheer impossibility. The supposed centre driver has little enough clearance for himself, then how in the name of the "Manual for the Field Artillery" can they hope to get even a 13 pounder through? Of course these mounted figures may repre- sent cavalry, but their being represented in such extraordinary contact with the infantry indicates a pitiful retreat rather than, as one with even a rudiment of national egoism might suppose, the dawn of victory, Of course the monument itself may show none of these oppressive things, but in the meantime former gunners, at least, will wonder if the Horse Marines haven't been busy again _in explaining the fine points of military forma- tions, FOR BETTER TEETH It is becoming increasingly apparent to the medical profession that teeth are of extreme importance in general health, A far from small proportion of human ills and aches arises in infected oral regions. Sound teeth are good health insurance, Care of the mouth prevents disease and sickness, Nevertheless, the aver- age man neglects his teeth, in the belief that until thy begin to pain nothing is wrong with them, And Canadians are not the worst offend- . ers in this respect, even among civilized na- tions, The dental research to be carried on by the dentists and the government should consider . ways and means to impress upon the public at large the necessity and desirability of pay- ing regular visits to the dentist, Those who already have the habit of under- going frequent dental examinations reap large dividends in health, efficiency, and peace of mind. Anything that can be done to give others the habit should not be left undone, One of the best things, in the way of health education, the public schools have been doing in recent years is the inculeation in young Canada of the habit of cleaning the teeth regu- larly and vigorously and the subjecting of every pupil to dental inspections, followed by treat- ment where necessary, | | | | | i | | i "treaimng from her eyes.

(Toronto Globe) The disuse into which the strap has fallen today as an instrument of cor- rection may account in some measure for the prevalence of juvenile crime. Moral persuasion appears to have superseded the use of the rod, and the | rising generation can hardly be said | to show any marked improvement | through the change. A spanking in | public may not be the best means tc correct the follies and sins of 'youth, but a more general use of the strap | by parents and teachers might do a! great deal of good and very little harm. [It is as true today as ever it was that "foolishness is bound in the | heart of a child, but the rod of cor rection shall drive it far from him." THE POST OFFICE (Brantford Expositor) Since the return of two cent oi penny postage in July 1926, the Canadian people have purchased a bout $5,000,000 mere in postag stamps than in any previous corres ponding period. The result is that in| the first five months of the present fiscal year the postsal revenue ha made a gain of nearly 12,000,000 ' Before the end of the fiscal year fit 's said, in an Ottawa despatch, that all losses due to the resumptiur f penny postage will be overtaken." That is good news. It is another and very striking reflpction upon the prosperity of Canada generally It is a fact that lower postage stun- lates the public to write more let- ers. The Canadian Post Office depart- ment, taken on the whole has been ery progressive. Especially in un¢ last thirty years or so has its ad ancement been in keeping with hat of the country.
