Their delivery from a great peril was, in a very real sense, a res- surrection a passing from death to life, These recent days of storm on the Great "Lakes also reminds that courage is a qual- ity no less valuable in peace than in war, It takes courage to sail these inland seas, is courage there is romance, Some day, when they no longer feel the allure of far climes or a glamorous past, Canadian writers - will turn to the wharves and shipping at their doors and find a treasury of incident from which to . weave the fabric of a new literature, BUSINESS AND THE STREETS There's only one retail business where the customer drives up to the sales counter, That business sells gasoline and oil, The rest --despite the motor car--have yet to deal with pedestrians, for no matter how closely customers can park their cars to the store where they intend to shop, they enter the stores on foot the same as they have done .. since Tyre dealt in purple and Egypt main- {' tained a market for corn, Which is meant to introduce the fact--a - 'business one--that sidewalks in Oshawa are a part of the retail merchant's sales ap- peal and service, There are civic, by-laws requiring that the sidewalks be kept clear of winter's treach- erous deposits. The winter has begun, and with the Christmas shopping season in full swing, to say nothing of other obligations, it is nothing I, gerd business sense for _ local merchants to insist on the by-law be- . ing observed. Several citizens had bad falls on Satur- * day, It is the hand or arm that usually + suffers when such falls or worse than a ¢ momentary unpleasantness and strong lang- . uage. Oshawa is a city that depends first on . brains and then on hands. A square foot of ' old glazed snow on a sidewalk can remove : a skilled worker from lathe, bench or as- : sembly line for six weeks in a fraction of a . second. This should not be taken as an appeal for perfection for that is in unattainable. But , it is a plea for watchfulness and looking : ahead. Winter has begun. HOME STOCK TAKING Stock taking has been an imperative busi- ness practice ever since the first merchant went into bankruptey with his shelyes or . warehouse packed with frozen assets, that is * to say, goods that he couldn't sell for their fair value. ' But home stock taking is something that " economics ignores for it is a lesson that is . only now being driven home through the service of the Daily Newspaper's want-ad ' Homes can be profitably cleared of the . clutter of outgrown or no longer used equip- - ment if home keepers will only take a leaf * from the merchant's book, which is to ad- vertise. As it is, such articles usually find their . way into the hands of dealers who pay the smallest price possible and then sell at a margin of profit that would give an ordin- | eres .

There's a mark- et for your old overeoat, no longer fashion- able enough for your work but a boon to some man who works outdoors and is not required to be fastidious about anything but making both ends meet, Take stock of your homes and their clos- ets, advertise, and see how much of your 'frozen assets" can be turned into ready cash, CHILDREN'S COURT With his appointment confirmed at. last, Magistrate A, F, Hind sat yesterday after- noon as the Judge of the first Children's Court in Oshawa, His appointment automa- tically established the court to which, in fu- ture, the problems of or affecting children under 16 years of age may be brought for merey, For mercy, and not for justice; for to do justice to the underprivileged child would mean the rebuilding of the structure of eiv- ilization from the foundations, The sitting of the Children's Court marks a new era in Oshawa, On the one hand it testifies to the city's growth; but more om- inously it witnesses the complexity of mod- ern life, the breaking up of parental re- straint in many sections, and the widening empire of temptations which often appeal , disastrously to the youth of the land, Under the Court, it is to be hoped that local conditions may be greatly improved, It has wide powers to curb juvenile delinquen- cy and its causes; and is potent to deal with o adult offenders whose guilt too often in the past was borne by the innocent, The prayers as well as the good wishes of the community surround the opening of the Children's Court, Its presiding judge will git not only as a representative of the King, but as one given that heaven-born author- ity of tenderness which once placed a little child in the midst of quarrelling men and said: "Of such is the Kingdom of Heaven." EDITORIAL NOTES The business outlook is largely governed by the business man's in-look, Many a young married man is a flooy walker but he doesn't get any salary for it. More jewelry will be worn when first class gems are sold with a guaranteed re- sale value, Making the grade in an automobile is a matter of horse-power., With a man you merely replace the hyphen with "sense," A negro once found a lost mule by imag- ining where he would go if he were a mule, Too much salesmanship is based on the con- trary theory, That is, where would a mule go if he were a man. Such mental activity never rang a cash register, Bit of Verse A GUEST CHAMBER "Memory knows How still it lies, Between the sunset and sunrise.

The change will save the city money, make for lower taxes and produce greater satisfaction all around, It is a step that should have been taken long ago, but the fact that it has been long delayed makes it no lesy satisfactory.

(Belfast Telegraph) Speaking at the Ulster Division officers' dinner in Belfast, Captain C. C. Craig, M. P. said shat while the gallant deeds of the Ulster Di- yision would always be remembered in the Province, he feared that sometimes that was not the case across the water. He had recently seen the Somme film, and he no- ticed that every division of the Brit- ish Army was represented in it ex- cept the Ulster Division. He thought that was a great shame. A MISTAKEN POLICY (Hamilton Spectator) Sir George Paish a great autho-| rity, has been telling the people of the United States that they must spend between one and two billion dollars abroad on purchases of for- eign goods if the international fin- ancial equilibrium is to be main- tained. Onlny in this way can other countries meet their obligations to the States. Yet the policy sued is the opposite one, of excluding goods of foreign origin with the conse- quence that funds are not available for the purchase of American goods. Sir George instances the difficulties of the farmers in the United States, brought about by the lessened de- mand for their products together with lower prices. Trade is a recip- rocal affair. If the United States wants to sell her goods abroad she must be prepared to buy there also. THE ULTIMATE - (Wiwanis Magazine) Kiwanis is but a baby, twelve years old.

The accomplishment of a single club for good in its im- mediate neighbos may mot be great compared with the needs. The accomplishments of the whole or ization published annually m large, but even they might not seem 50 to a pessimistic mind. But Kiwan- is ideals are yet in their infancy.

Some will be very enthusiastic, and attribute many Tecuveries to a new medical discovery, and ime provement in other cases. Others will patiently investizate and say nothing, whilst others without much investigation, will condemn. I have in mind, of course, the use of insulin in that formerly fatal {llness--diabetes. The Metropolitan Life Insur- ance Company in its effort to pro- mote health throughout the world, stated some months ago that die etes was on the increase. Immediately the cry arose that insulin must have no value if such were true, However, the report stated de finitely that despite the fact that| insulin was checking diabetes, nevertheless there were more cases than ever, due to overeating, That when sugar and other foods were scarce during the war, that the | iS number of cases of diabetes de- creased considerably, However, there is nothing like dealing with actual cases, and Dr, H. PF, Host, of Norway, reports eighty cases of diabetes since he began the use of insulin four years ago, Two cases only of the entire eighty have died, Just think of that for a moment, and compare it with the death rate before the use of insulin, Half of the cases died within a few years, and the other half hy careful dicting might prolong their lives some years, only as so often happened, to have some infection come along, and with poor resist- ance they passed away. Of the 80 cases, 64 are still us- ing insulin, and of this number 53 report themselves able to work, 8 of which are manual laborers. However, Dr. Host makes this significant statement, "An import- ent point about all these cases is the absence of infections and other disease." In other words Insulin has the the f power to protect the individual|a builder it protects Je notwithstanding the fact that he|dual from infections, is is afflicted with diabetes. worth knowing. That insulin is of use in skin ailments, and also in some ue- rangements of digestion and nu- trition has been amply proven. Now, that in addition to being diabetes may be increasing due excessive eating and lack of cise, insulin is doing real where opportunity is given it.
