REPRESENTATIVES IN U.S. Powers and Stone, Inc, New York and Chicago, at i c--] TUESDAY, JANUARY 29, 1929 RR EER NEWSPAPER CARELESSNESS The last few days have furnished a glaring ex- ample of how the Toronto newspapers, in their scramble for sensational copy, will publish mis- leading statements regarding other communities in which they have no interest save that of selling their papers. The Toronto Star, by publishing its reports of a supposed cut in wages and a possible strike at the General Motors plant in Oshawa, cared noth- ing for the possible harmful effect of its incorrect report, nor for the possibility of its hurting the amicable relations now existing between the Gen- eral Motors of Canada and its employees, It is not suggested that this misrepresentation on the part of the Star was deliberate, except in so far that it showed gross carelessness in rushing into print with a story which, according to high officials, both of the company and of the work- er's union, was not founded on facts, The Times has vo desire to conceal any infor- mation which is authentic, nor does it relish being placed in the position of having to allay unrest , in Oshawa by having to give official denials to "false reports appearing in the Toronto press, But The Times believes that it owes a duty to Osh- awa, and that duty is to protect the citizens of this community from unwarranted rumors and scares Buch as the one which caused so much agitation over the weekend, . No newspaper can lay claim to being infallible, but there are times when gross carelessness can bardly be excused, and on this occasion there __ can be little excuse for the action of The Toronto «35tar in printing a report which was lacking in the element of truth which is vital to the highest Lype of newspaper ethics. DEDICATING A CHURCH The dedication of a mew church edifice is al- ways an interesting and a solemn ceremony. It seems as if the people of the congregation are be- ing given a new start in their religious life, are opening a new page on the book of their lives, It also means much to the community in which the church is located, for it creates a mew centre of inspiration to its people, a new centre from which they can derive the spiritual nourishment which is so vital a factor in promoting a healthy and wholesome community life, In most cases, as in the case of the Albert Street United Church, which was dedicated here on Sunday, it is an exemplification of a spirit of sacrifice on the part of the people. That such sac- rifices are made in the name of religion is a sign that it has ng lost its efficacy in making people give of their substance for the sake of advancing the kingdom of God, . In the last few years, Oshawa has seen several forward steps in the building and extending of churches. Might not this be' taken as a sign that Oshawa is a community of people who are not content with standing idly by when the ad- Yancement of thc church is at 'stake? Might it not be taken as an indication that Oshawa is a city in which the religious life counts for much, and in which tbe people, taking them on the average, have the spirit of placing first things first deeply ingrained in their natures? Such a community cannot help but be a good place in which to live. SOMETHING WRONG SOMEWHERE In today's issue of the Times announcement fs made of the new insurance rates for zutomo- biles in the province of Ontario, showing an aver- age increase of twenty-seven per cent. over the rates in effect last year. In yesterday's issue, there appeared an article reporting a reduction of tweive and a half per cent. in public liability ©' rates and 10.6 per cent. in property damage rates SR TR for automobile insurance in New York State. It is hard to understand why there should be £0 great an increase in rates in Ontario, while the state of New York compavies are able to cfiect decreases. Of course, the plea will at once bs made that tbe rates in New York state have Leen much ligher than those in Ontario, but the fzet remains that the accident lst in this proy- ince. iu proportion, is much lower thay it is in the Uaplted States, which would account for roreat (dis ity in the rates. Tae immediate thought which comes to tho riind of the average man 'is that there is come- th'ng wrenz when rates, are so material™ in- erorced fore, and are, at the same time, lowered > Lorder in 2 slate where the p2rcent- fe any ap- &Lrols 142 - age of cars is higher, and the risk of accident so much greater, not only on account of the greater density of traffic, but because of the greater lax- ity of speed laws. PIANO TEACHING IN THE SCHOOLS The announcement made yesterday that the teaching of the piano was to be undertaken in two of the public schools of Oshawa by L. F. Unitt, supervisor of music in the public schools, is com- mendable, Musical instruction is a part of edu- cation which often has to be ignored on account of the cost, and the provision of lessons at a nominal rate will open up the way for in.eresting and enjoyable studies to a large number of Osha- wa children, This innovation might well be extended to the other schools of the city, even if it means allow~ ing other music teachers to have some part in the giving of instruction, since it would possibly be too much to expect one man to take care of all the public schools, That 4 start has been made in this direction, however, is gratifying, and it might well be made the basis of a plan for making it even more widespread throughout the school system, THE JACKSON-MANION TRAGEDY The exposure of conditions in connection with the Jackson-Manion mine capnot be termed any- thing short of a tragedy. This is not so much because of the losses which were incurred by thoge who had their money invested in the mine, but rather because of its effect on the public appreci- ation of all mining financing. With interest in mines and mining stock as keen as it is at present, the Jackson-Manion affair might very well have a disturbing effect on the whole financial scheme back of mine develops ment, It is true that many thousands of people who know very little of mines and mining have their money invested in companies of this kind, and their inves.ments were made on the basis of reports of engineers and others supposed to know something of the business, Unless the pub- lic can depend absolutely on the reliability of these reports, there can be little hope for the thousands of small investors who are willing to risk their money in mining adventures, for the whole fabric of mine development rests on the honesty and integrity of those who are doing the official prospecting and reporting on the proper- ties. This case is unfortunate for those who have lost their money, but it may have a good effect on other propositions of a simi.ar nature, If any lesson is to be learned from it, it should be the lesson that closer investiga.ion of mining proper- ties is required, and that there should be some means of making a check on the reports of engin- eers and others before they are allowed to be placed before the public as a basis for securing investments, Most of us are surprised at where we are be- cause we fail to look where we are going.

This meant that he got three times as much use of his machinery at a time when there was a big demand for his production, And yet for many years our text books in physiology taught us to com. pare the body to a machine; more frequently to a steam engine, Both the body and the engine consume fuel and give out energy in the form of heat and motion. However the fuel supplied a boiler never becomes a part of the boiler; in man the foods are absorbed and go to form a part of the individual Yet even if we considered the body a machine, no machine made by man can compare with {it in the heat and energy it creates from the amount of food or fuel used. However this idea of thinking of the body as simply a bit of machin. ery to be tinkered with and re paired, is passing away, and the phy- siclan now recognizes that in addi. tion to the mechanism, thé machin. ery, the mechanical parts of the body, there is another part that must be reckoned with and that is the brain, the mind.

WOLVES AND COWS (Renfrew Mercury) Once upon a time the cows of this part of the world could not have been the valuable animals which they now are. Not from a Gananoque paper, but from a paper published in a city close by, the fol- lowing is taken: "It is said that in the carly days of Gananoque Colonel Joel Stone offered a bounty of $10 for every wolf Killed in the settlement; 25¢ for a cow's head, if killed on the east side of the river; and 20c if the cow was killed on the westside." Cows may have been a nuisance in those days, probably being the kind that jumped over the moon, but wolves scem to have been a greater one--forty times as much, in fact, judging from the respective boun- ties. Certainly the cow has undergone a transfor- mation since pioncer days. But wasn't it really wolves and crows on whose head a price was set? By the way, if long ago the wolf menace led to a $10 bounty, shouldn't said bounty be about ten times ten now? . - Bits of Verse - - THE SHADOW OF THE ROCK Across the arid desert sands, parched by the burning sun Of fierce temptation, on we go, wishing our journey done!

TRAITS FORMS ITS DECORATION Was Placed in Room to Give the Royal Patient Men- tal Relief London, Jan, 29.--In the early daye of King George's filimess a folding screen was used between his bed and the door to svoid any chance of a draught reaching Lim when the door was open. Recently a screen that was one of the prizea possessions of King Edward wa. substituted for the screen first u, in the room. This screen is a four-fold one made of rosewood and is complete- ly covered with autographed photo- graphs of bygone celebrities collec- ted by King Edward. The screen was put in King George's bedroom as it was thought it would interest him to look at it. The King at that time was unable to read or even to listen or talk to any one. How to give the King some distraction was one of the difficulties of his case. "The screen has an interesting history. It took King Edward over thirty years to completely cover the the screen with photographs. He conceived the idea of making his collection of photographs when he visited America and was the guest | of President James Buchanan. The | president gave the then Prince of | Wales his autogrphed photograph and it was one of the first to be put on the screen. In clos proximity to the photograph of Buchanan are photographs of Emrerson and Oliver Wendell Holmes. whom the Princs met in America. It was the hope of the then Prince of Wales to continue putting the photographs of suceeding Am- erican President on the screen, but the hope was not realized. When the Civil War broke out it was unquestionable that the sympa- thies of England, or at all events of the ruling classes, were with the South, and there seems little doubt that the then Prince of Wales shar. ed their sympathies. At the conclusion of the war it was the Prince's intention to write to President Lincoln for his photo- graph, but the Prince was advised that it would not be diplomati: to do eo, 8s there was the possibility of his request being refused. The next autographed photograph of a President of the United States to reach Buckin~ham Palace was that of President Wilson, who gave bis photograph - to King George when he was the sovereizn's guest This scree with the extensive <allery of photographs affixed to it constitutes an interesting pictorial story of over thirty years of King Edwards's life and is likely to re- call to King George many incidents News!
