MONDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1929 = ------ AN OFFENCE TO COURTESY Last night an excellent audience assembled to hear a splendid program of music by the General Motors Orchestra, To music lovers, the program was a de- light, both in the selection of the numbers and their rendition, _. There was, however, one feature which cannot be allowed to pass without comment, In the gallery, | . unfortunately, there were a certain number of peo- | £ ple who did not attend for the purpose of enjoying | * the music, but simply to seek amusement, And they found it, apparently, in their raucuous-toned laugh- , ter, talking and giggling while the artists on the stage were giving of their best, Naturally, those who attended to hear and enjoy good music, were thoroughly disgusted with the conduct of these thoughtless people, who little cared that they 'were doing much to spoil the program for the music lov- ers by their senseless interruptions, It is a pity that people of this type should attend musical presentations such as that given last night. They have no love for music in their make-up, or they would never have acted in the way they did. And they are entirely lacking in the fundamental elements of common courtesy, or they would have remained silent, at least, while the program was in progress, It is to be hoped that when future con- certs of this kind are held, they will either stay out» side, or will take a lesson from those who go to enjoy the music, and change their conduct. PLANTING TREES One of the chief essentials to a beautiful city is an abundance of trees through the whole of its resi- dential section. This is one respect in which Osh- awa falls short of the standard which has been set by a number of other Ontario cities, The rapid growth of this city, of course, has a great deal to do with that, since most of its more modern residential section has sprung up so quickly that it has not ° been possible to put into effect a tree-planting scheme #8 a means of city beautification. In some of the older cities, there used to be an annual celebration of Arbor Day, On that day, those who were interested chose a section of the city, and planted young maple, or other, trees along the side of the streets, so as to form leafy boulevards in summer, In these places, the present generation is reaping the benefit of the forethought and love of beauty of past generations, It is by no means too late for some interested per- sons to inaugurate a campaign of tree planting in Oshawa, There are dozens of streets in the newer residential districts which lend themselves admir- ably to this kind of treatment, and while the benefits would not be greatly feit by the present citizens, future generations would live to bless those who have it in their hearts to plant trees, so that they could enjoy their leafy beauty and their generous shade in the days of spring, summer and fall. A MOVEMENT WORTH COPYING An organization with a strange name has sprung up in England, but, in spite of its name, it is one of the most useful that could possibly be organized. It is known as the "Pug Pups" movement, and it takes its name from the initial letters of the words describing its objects "Pick up Glass," and "Pick 'up Paper." These words give some idea of its mature, Its members are pledged not to leave glass, papers, or- ange peel, banana skins, and other such litter lying about where it will be unsightly, and also to pick these things up should ether thoughtless people leave them lying around the roads and streets. If ever there was a worthy movement, this is one. It would make a remarkable difference to the appear- ance of the streets of Oshawa, for instance, if the people of this city could copy the slogans of the "Pug Pups," and put them into practice. Perhaps the people in this country are in too much of a hurry to bother so much about these things as they are in .the old land, but there could be few more excellent ways of beautifying a city than to have a large volun- tary club pledged to do their utmost to keep its streets tidy. A TIMELY MESSAGE C. A. Bogart, general manager of the Dominion Bank, included a very timely message in his ad- dress delivered at the annual meeting of the bank in Toronto the other day. No man, possibly, is in a better position than the general manager of a bank to analyse financial and economic conditions in Canada, and words of warning from such men should be heeded. Touching on the great wave of speculation which seems to have caught in its tide a great many people in this country, Mr, Bogart said:-- "Although experic:i:c teaches us thai speculation has, for the great majority, only one end, and that the loss of their money, it is perhaps a waste of words to add to the many recent comments on this subject, for all warnings fall on deaf ears, One very regrettable phase of this situation, however, is that the young man who has speculated suc-» cessfully often incurs a loss of far greater import. ance than his money, and that is his inclination to work, Canada can ill spare him from the ranks of the workers, and the well-to-do-idler is a misfit in this country." There is little need to add much in the way of comment to that message. It carries its own moral, Speculation is a thing which is dangerous, particu- larly to those who can ill afford to lose, and these, unfortunately, are very often the people who indulge in it, With reference to the latter part of his message, it is significant that the men who are really success- ful are the men who are still to be found working hard, in spite of their success, That should be an object lesson to those who feel that, because they have been lucky enough to "beat the markets" they are relieved of the necessity of engaging in useful toil, DOUKHOBORS IN THE WEST The recent troubles in the Doukhobor settle- ments in British Columbia have opened the eyes of the Canadian people to one of the great dangers of foreign settlement in this country,. Being fanatics along a certain line, the Doukhobors apparently felt that they could live to them- selves as they liked, and could ignore the laws of Canada. Such a position, of course, is absurd, but it has been a troublesome matter to convince them that, being in Canada, they must abide by all the laws of the country, Had these people been easily assimilated into the life of the nation, and had they been spread throughout the country, this trouble would not have arisen. But they are slow to mix with others, and are almost hopeless from the standpoint of assimilation, for they have their own customs and institutions, their own language and habits, and they cannot easily be broken down, The greatest danger, however, lies in the build- ing up in the west of whole communities of foreign people, who live by and to themselves, and gradually gain control of the institutions in their own communities, Having done so they are liable to make strong efforts to conduct things - in a manner entirely foreign to the Canadian law, The Doukhobors are not the only people who are settling in communities in this way, The Ukrainians in the west are also forming foreign communities, and are gaining control of their school sections, so that they can train their own teachers, and teach their own customs in the schools, This is dangerous, for no good can come of the multiplication in Canada of communities which have at their head foreign people who have no thought of becoming Canadianized, This is the biggest problem in the settlement of Canada, by non-British people, and it is one which re- quires to be given considerable thought. EDITORIAL NOTES Experience is a great teacher, but the tuition is rather high. If beef keeps on soaring the cow may actually jump over the moon, The ideal way of getting along will never be realized by the idler, The push that makes many a man a success in life is done by his wife, From now on to Thanksgiving the skin they love to touch is the pig-skin, The nation that goes to war at this particular moment had better be equipped with a properly drawn last will and testament, Conservatism is that condition in which the sub- ject feels that an evil he has learned to endure is preferable to a cure he knows nothing about. - Other Editors' Comment -- AIMEE AND THE JUDGE (Hamilton Herald) When Aimee McPherson gave Judge C. S. Hard $2,600, she said it was for legal advice he Brey . her. The American Bar considered the fact that he was trying her case at the time and has dis missed him from its membership. How unkind this is to Aimee, as though she would ever think of brib- ing a judge. WARD SYSTEM OF ELECTION NOT FAVORED Occasionally the suggestion is made that Owen Sound should go back to the ward system of eleet- ing aldermen. It is a great many years since this old method was in vogue in Owen Sound, and it is very doubtful whether the ratepayers would consider a change, in fact it is the general opinion that to revert to the ward system would merely open the way for an era of municipal "log rolling." In Orillia they are considering returning to the ward system and the plan is meeting with some very definite opposition. - - Bits of Verse - - 2 not as above mentioned, but ra- ther an explanation of why fash- ions exist. 3 Ee Ta For Instance It used to be the man who wore The plumes and all the grace; Now wiley wears the clothes galore nd takes goer, papa's place, Oshawa should be to re- mark that it has an orchestra help but place the finer type of i on the higher plane where it rightfully ought to be in the «ivy, . %x 3 Did anyone happen to notice how bright the sky was at six o'clock last night?

SUMMER SIGNS AT 800 Robins, Crows and Battelies ° Make An Early Return Sault Ste.

A WISE PRAYER--O Lord, cor- rect me, but with judgement; mot in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing. --Jeremialr 10:24. PRAYER Be mercidbul unto me, The old year is a month 'behind. | I never met eleven such dat ain't no valise; dat's mah foot." | By James W. Barton, M.D. WHY THE CURE 18 DELAYED One of the embarrassing things that come to the physician is where a patient is suffering with rheuma- '| tiem or arthritis, and after having the infected teeth removed, continues | to suffer with the rheumatism just as severely as ever, Perhaps the physician, with the enthusiasm that naturally comes from curing twenty or thirty similar cases, has promised the patient that if he has the teeth extracted he will have him free of the trouble almost at once, As a matter of fact, when teeth are infected, although the poison is be- ing drained into the system by the circulation, nevertheless Nature "walls off" some of the poison so that it is not all going into the system. However when the teeth 'are re- moved the sockets and gums are dis- turbed and this poison that was be ing drained into the system in small amounts is all released into the sys tem at once, and naturally there is an increase in the severity of the rheumatism or arthritis, Now it has been shown that the little bumps or glands in the lympha. tic system of the neck, which are en- larged because of the poison drained into them from the tonsils, do not get rid of their poison sometimes for two or three years after tonsils are removed, Also the teeth may only he part of the trouble; although they are the cause in the majority of cases, Infected teeth should be extracted before tonsils are removed, because the tonsils may be able to do their filtering and work of destroying or. ganisms if they haven't got to take care of some of the poisons from in- fected teeth also, So remember that even if teeth and tonsils have been removed, there may be infections in other places which will take some time to get out of the system. However the comforting thought is that as the infected teeth have been removed the poison factory has been closed down, and all that remains is to get the manufactured goods (the poisons) off the shelves (joints, in- testine and so forth) and out of the system, While certain drugs help, exercise and heat, by stimulating circulation are really your best treatment.
