REPRESENTATIVES IN U.8, Powers and Stone, Inc, New York and Chicago, A.ay SATURDAY, JANUARY 5, 1929 THE MAYORALTY During the past few days electors have had a chance to size up for themselves the two candidates in the field for mayor of | Oshawa, Mr, T. B., Mitchell and Alderman D. A. J, Swanson, Both men have had several years' muni- cipal experience. By a co-incidence both have served on the same civic bodies, the ity council, board of education and board i of health, Yet on no occasion have these two candidates served on any of these bodies at the same time, During the past two years, for example, Alderman Swanson has been a member of the city council, 'while | Mr, Mitchell, during the same period, has been a member and chairman of the board of education, Mr. Mitchell's work in that capacity has not been as conspicuous as the work of Alderman Swanson on the city | council, But Mr. Mitchell's service on the | board of education has nevertheless been very efficiently rendered. Few men in Osh- awa have a better grasp of civic problems than T. B. Mitchell and his long experience in civic affairs should fully qualify him for the important post of Oshawa's mayor for 1929. Mr. Mitchell's platform, including lower taxation, better transportation services, sub- mission of important matters to the people, better street lighting and other matters of yital importance, should ensure his election as mayor on Monday next. Mr. Mitchell's record also, both in municipal office and as a private citizen, are so clear as to leave not the slightest doubt on that score. T, B. Mitchell should be given a good sub- stantial majority on Monday next. We be- lieve he will but there is always the danger that the issue will be lost by people who stay at home. "Am chair critics," they are sometimes called. It is the duty of every elector to register his or her vote for the various positions that have to be filled. Let us roll up a big ma- jority for Mitchell but to readers who do mot see it that way we say: "Vote as you like, but. vote." VOTE ON MONDAY The municipal election campaign, one of the briefest in Oshawa's history, closes to- night, and on Monday next the electors will go to the polls and mark their ballots for the candidates of their choice. The Times has recommended certain candidates for mayor and aldermen. Na- turally we would like to see those candidates seted to office. But whether they are elected or not is not so important as that there should be a real expression of opinion by the electors of this city on Monday next, If a proposal was made to disfranchise a half or a third of the electors everyone would hold up both hands in horror. But it is 2 fact that every year hundreds of voters fail to exercise the franchise. And many of them afterwards find fault with the men sao have been elected. "Vote as you like but vote" is a slogan that has been heard frequently in recent years. It is a good cne. Vote for the candidates recommended by this newspaper, or vote 2gainst them just as your own judg- aent dictates, but vote. Every elector has a sacred responsibility ia going to the polling booth next Monday £ newspaper published every after. ~ Canada, by Mundy Printing Company, | "ation for the working man, d in helping to select -Oshawa's. mayor, council and board of education for 1929. It | is a poor excuse to be "too busy" with some- . thing else. No one can truthfully say they are "not interested." .Nor.should anyone say they don't care. It is the business and duty of every elector, man or- woman,.to go to the poll and in the privacy of the polling booth mark their ballots for the candidates of their choice. "Vote as you like, but vote." S EAST WHITBY " For the first time in years the township of East Whitby which adjoins Oshawa on the west, east and north, is experiencing a . real, live election battle. There are contests for reeve and deputy reeve and for council. It is a healthy sign when there is such widespread interest in township elections. Evidently East Whitby has many problems that are peculiar to it. Garbage collection, opening of a street now blind, roads and 'sidewalks, annexation, purchase of hydro are among the problems with which mem- bers of the township council will have to grapple during next year, For that reason it is important that elec- tors of East Whitby show the greatest in- terest in this election and what we say to the electors of Oshawa we say to those of East Whitby: "Vote as you like, but vote," IN THE SOUTH-EAST WARD In the south-east ward we believe electors have a very important duty to perform in making sure of the election of George Hart, Fred Perry and L. V, Disney. All three will make good representatives, Mr, Perry is a workingman who pledges himself to act in the best interests of the workingmen of the city without dictation from outside inter- ests, =, Oliver Franklin, one of the other two can- didates, is being supported in his campaign by the communist party. We believe he and his friends should be told plainly by the voters of the south-east ward that Russian bolshevist literature and methods are not welcome in this loyal Canadian city. THE WORKINGMAN'S MAYOR One of the candidates for alderman in Cedardale ward, himself a factory worker, speaking to an audience of factory workers last night, stressed the need of lowered tax- The present high rate of taxation, approximating 44 mills, places a heavy burden on the home owner of moderate means, A reduction of the tax rate in this city to 40 mills, which is one of the strong fea- tures of T. B. Mitchell's program, if he is elected mayor on Monday, will be of very material benefit to the average man in every part of the city. It will mean that $1 will be struck out of every $11 that he is paying in taxes today, a reduction of $5 to $10 in the tak bill of even the smaller home own- ers. Mr, Mitchell also supports a readjustment of land values, so that the assessment of business properties in the city which have increased extensively in value during the last few years, may be scaled up to correspond with the increased values, thus removing a considerable burden of taxation from home owners in outlying sections of the city. Both of these things will be of very ma- terial benefit to the average citizen, the fac- tory worker or mechanic. Vote Mitchell, the Workingman's Mayor. Eit of Verse CHILDHOOD'S AUTUMN As I lay abed one Autumn dawn, And looked out upon a scene forlorn, The ruthless wind, it stripped the trees Whose tops reared high above the eaves, And flapped the awning with might and main, : While leaflets kissed my window-pané, The scraggy oak, a splurge of gold, Mourning its failure to withhold The wind-that laughed and played and sang Among its branches as it rang; Then dipped into the maple tree, Whose flaming dress was a sight to see. And, across the way, a sentinel pine, Seeming neither breeze nor gale to mind, Its boughs as green as the month of May, Its needles too tenacious to blow away; Aloft dnd defiant in the field it stood, "And 1 thought myself in a fairy wood. - I arose and peered out on the street below At the vision of beautiful Autumn's woe. . Then I dressed myself as fast as I could And quickly gobbled my breakfast food, Scampered out to join the merry throng, Building leaf-houses on thé garden lawn. --Edith Naylor.

B. Harmon to Urge the League of Nations to Study Subject Geneva, Switzerland, Jan, 5, --Clif- ford B, Harmon, of New York, Pre- .| sident of the Internatiohal League of Aviators, has announced his inten- tion of having a resolution submit- ted to the Council of the League of Nations looking toward a technical study of his recent proposal for an international police force of aviators. Colonel Harmon now advocates creation of an honor section in the as the "Silver However one instance of what fs being done can be gathered from the following, A physicien doing routire ex- amining of patients ACTOSS four patients during a period of two week's time, whose tonsils were, in his opinion, 'n such a ¢ dition that they required removal, They all consulted the same specials ist. To his surprise, when thes» pa- tients returned to him at a later date for another examination, two had thir tonsils removed, and the other two had simply had treat- ments for a few weeks, All patients looked better and felt better. The two who had had treatment only, stated that the specialist told them that while he was removing tonsils daily, he took more p :] and pleasure in trying to save ton- sils if at all possible, He felt that if he eould get the tensils into good working condi- tion, that he was saving for the pa- tient one of his best helps in pre- venting trouble in the nose, throat, and even the eyes. . The tonsils, by draininz conges- tions in the nose: such as mucous membrane covering the turbinated bones, and the sinuses 2r carverns adjoining were really a great asset to the patient, The treatment of tonsils that are what are called borderline cases, is by use of diathermy or heat to in- terior of tonsil by the use of ultra violet rays, and other methods that stimulate the tonsil to action, so that it clears up itself, and is thus in a condition to drain off any con- gestion in the nose, tI'roat, and ear. You can understand that with so much influenza and oth2» infec- tions of nose and throat, that the possession of a good workinz pair of tonsils could be of great benefit to the patient. So give a little thought 10 this matter of the tonsils and talk it over with your family doctor. Good working tonsils are a real asset, while infected tonsils may be a ser- ious liability.

'The ruins, he aid, rcremble the remains of am old Eskimo -whaling camp. For Eskimos They frequently have been held up as possible proof of an early Norse settlement, but Dr. Strong said the stonework is not typical of authenticated ruins in Greenland; rather, they bear more resemblance to enclosures found around Eski- mo burial and camp sites in other regions. Instead of an abode for a daring Viking, parts of the ruins seem to have been depositories for blubber of the Eskimos. Dr. Strong doesn't deny the Norsemen landed about 900 A.D. but he said: "No tangible evidence to support this belief has been found so far. There have been many other reports of Norse ruins, but when Investigated, all of them, to date, as in the present instance, proved ,to be inconclusive or de- finitely wrong."
