Powers and Stone, Inc, New York and Chicago, SATURDAY, JULY 7, 1928 , "Hats Off to The Past; Coats Off to The Future!" "EIT. \ To commemorate the erection of its new building and the installation of new press equipment is the reason for the special edition of The Times that forms part of today's issue, Hither one of these events would have marked an important milestone in the history of this newspaper and together they combine to make a unique occasion for reviewing the past and looking forward to the future, It is a far ery from The Times of today' to the first issue of The Reformer published in. 1871, In the realm of mechanical develop- ment alone the printing industry has been re- volutionized, Typesetting machines that seem almost human in the ingenuity with which they work have replaced the old method of setting type by hand, and the "Washington" hand press on which The Reformer was printed 2 half century ago, would not recognize the modern rotary press recently installed to print The Times as even a distant relation, -- Appreciation of those, who, in the past laid the foundations on which this newspaper is built, and thankfulness for the measure of suc- cess achieved, thus far, are coupled at this time in the minds of the publishers with an ambition to accomplish even greater things and to serve this paper's constituency still better in the future, Fa AMBASSADORS OF EMPIRE disembark at sncient and picturesque Que- bee City a group of young Britishers who will constitute the most unusual and inter- esting party of the kind this country has ever seen, [TT VRE They will be the prize-winners in a great competition known as the Empire Travel and Scholarship Scheme, an enterprise promoted by the Canadien National Railways, the Cunard Steamship Company, and the power- ful Allied Newspapers of Great Britain. Young people of ages ranging from fourteen to twenty-one years, they will come from "On the first Sunday in August there will enter the competition without charge, to ans- wer the questions and to submit their Pa pers to a Board of Examiners, As a prize the promoters offered a free seven weeks' trip to Canada to the twenty-five boys and twenty-five girls between the ages of four teen and twenty-one submitting the best pa- pers, For competitors between the ages of eight and fourteen years, twenty-four addi- tional scholarships of fifty pounds each were offered, these to be devoted exclusively to the advancement of the education of the win. ners, Before the competition had been under way a week a quarter of a million boys and girls were ferretting out information con. cerning Canada and delving deeply into a study of our history, geography, business and social life, The contest placed no limits upon - the sources of information, The competitors could consult the printed word from théir school text-book to the Encylopaedia Britan- nica; they could question any likely inform. ant from a parent to the village parson, For every candidate in the competition there were four or five others directly interested, so that the publicity was actively distribue ted among a million and one-half people, The possibilities of such publicity are in- estimable, A million and one-half potential publicity agents asking or answering con. structive questions! Readers of The Oshawa Daily Times may find a selection of these questions interest~ ing for test purposes, at 'least among the younger generation of their family groups, Which are the Maritime Provinces and why are they so called? What is the Pre-Cambrian Shield of Can- ada and for what is it noted? In what way is the winter an asset to the Canadian farmer? Why is electric current cheaper in Canada than in England? What is insulin? Who discovered it? With what institution was the discovery connected ? What are the Chinook winds and what is their effect? What part of Canada is known as the Great Clay Belt? Why are newspapers interested in affore- station in Canada? What income tax would a single man earning five hundred pounds pay if he lived (a) in Great Britain (b) in Canada? Such was the interest taken in this com- petition that every source of likely informa- tion was besieged with requests for jn. formation on Canada. Keen-eyed competi. tors searched through booklets and pamph- lets. Determined-looking parents accompan- ied their boys and girls to likely offices, The libraries did a land-office business, and li- brarians became pale and haggard. Every. body got into the game, It is a tribute to the zeal of the competi- tors that over fifty per cent. of them com- pleted their papers in full. The examiners reduced their serried ranks from thousands to hundreds and finally to the fifty winners of the major awards, the last test being an oral one, This great enterprise has earnéd enthusi- astic commendation from such distinguished pioneers of empire understanding and inter- national goodwiil as H.R.H. The Prince of Wales; the Rt. Hon. L. 8. Amery, M.P,, Sec- retary of State for the Dominions; the Lord Mayors of London, Liverpool and Manches- ter; the Bishop of London; the Prime Min- ister of Australia; Sir Henry Thornton; Sir Arthur Currie, and a host of others dis- tinguished in all walks of life. Of all the tributes submitted to us we are inclined to dwell upon the following passage from a compliment paid by Lord Burnham, formerly proprietor of The London Daily Telegraph: "The scheme is admirable because it in- troduces that personal touch needed to strengthen the bonds of the Empire and peo- ple the wide spaces of the Dominion with sturdy young Britons. Canadas is a land of golden opportunity, Only by seeing for themselves can our young people of today fully realize how vast that opportunity is. Personal contact with their compatriots over- seas and 3 sympathetic understanding of their aims and outlook can do more to bring home to our mation's youth the tremendous significance of Empire than any amount of Ph one makes a left turn, phe guess Mr. Friend got his way all right.

Perhaps this should 'read, 'what fools some people make of us,' The truth is that we are foolish, nevertheless. As an instance, how many of us read an ad in a local paper to the effect that a wonderful summer resort exists up in No Man's Land, where Nature {s the only thing around and that quite scarce.

What Others Say TIME TO BE CAREFUL (Woodstock Sentinel-Review) The advent of the holiday season has brought a timely warning from the Industrial Accident Preventivu Association. Every year, hollaay- makers lose their lives by drown- ing, in sutomobile accidents, and in other ways which sre peculiar to the summer season of the year. In many cases, these (fatalities might easily have been avoided by the exercise of a reasonable amount of care and caution, yet it seems as if the victims left their ideas of safety behind th when they started off on the holiday jaunt, The warning which has been broad- cast in brief, but it is to the pow' It says: : "Some remember holidays wrth joy, some with sorrow. Holidays, like Dominion Day and Labor Day, will draw tens of thousands of mo- torists into the highways. For this reason you will have to watch for various forms of recklessness to save your own life and limb. It is safe to stop before crossing any railway. Drive carefully and enjoy life. There is good common-sense in this warning. The last short sent- ence of five words is particularly impressive. If every motor driver would consider that the 12as" bit of reckless or careless driving is plae- fing his own life and the lives of others in peril, there would be few- er accidents to be recorded. Hol} day time should always be a time of happy memories.

Now if a Jervon is carrying com: siderable weight it is really a good sign to see the perspiration flow freely, If underweight, and pers- piration, flows very freely on slight exertion, it is really a sign of general weakness, 1 have spoken before about the benefit derived from free perspir- ation in withdrawing heat from the body. The relation of perspiration to heart and bloodvessel disturbances has been investigated by Drs. Kauf and Zak of Vienna, in seventeen cases, By the use of a filter paper and a silver nitrate solution they were enabled to see the location and number of the sweat glands, They ound that the amount of sweat or perspiration secreted was nor mal in onlyy three of the seven. teen cases, was entiraly absent in three cases, and was lessened in eleven cases. That is fourteen of the seventeen cases did not secrete or manufacture the normal amount of sweat, : Does this mean that where there is a leakage 'of the heart, real or. ganic trouble, that the sweat will not be secreted in sufficient quantities, No, because they had also fifteen cases with actual valvular trouble, and the sweat secretion was nor- mal, Why? Because the heart muscle, not. withstanding the leak, was able tu do its work properly, On the other hand they had twenty-seven other cases rf heart leakage where the sweat was less than normal, Why? pira- signals that you should pug yourself into your physicians" hands at once. | FINAL COURT OF INDUSTRIAL APPEAL New Council Will Not Con. flict With Conciliation Machinery London, July 6.--The interim re port of the joint conference of em- ployers and trades unionists, recom- mending establishment of a new in- dustrial council, is characterized by Lord Melchett (formerly Sir Alfred Mond) as "the first fence in a long course we have set ourselves." Lord Melchett was chairman of the confer- ence, which issued its voluminous re- port earlier this week, The "indus- trial council" will form a sort of su- preme court of industrial appeal, in- stituting direct machinery for labor arbitration, There is no intention, however, of interfering with the con- ciliation machinery existing in separ- ate industries, Much remains to be done, The re- port will now be placed before the Trades Union Congress, the parlia- ment of labor, in September and it is considered will be almost cer- tainly adopted, although a minority strongly oppose it. Some trades un- ions object to the reduction of pow- employers whose businesses are more subject to fluctuation than the great- er industrial organizations, are also inclined to be somewhat critical of the proposed national council, Is Warmly Endorsed Sir Edward Manville, chalrman of the National Industrial Alliance which has been laboring along the same lines since 1916 but stood aside sn -- ee pn ers of self-government, Some of the | Collection of Money by Drafts HE use of drafts in modern busi- ness practice is occasionally overs looked, their purpose misunderstood, and their value not appreciated.
