Powers and Stone, Inc, New York and Chicago, = SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1929 --- mI pr THE TIMES MOVES FORWARD Today ushers in a new era of grealer service to its readers on the part of The Times, After a thorough test yesterday, there went into operation at The Times' office this morning the Creed auto- matic telegraph printer, connected with a special leased wire to Canadian Press headquarters in To- ronto, and through that office, to all the news centres of the entire world. In making this installation, The Times is looking not only to the present needs of the community for u newspaper up to the standards of the large metro- politan dailies, but is looking ahead, to a city much larger than the present community of Oshawa. This type of equipment and service is the last word in news transmission known to the world, end will pro- vide the readers of The Times with a service of Canadian and foreign news which cannot be excelled by any of the largest newspapers in the country, The spirit behind this forward step is one of op. timism in the future growth of Oshawa, This city is bound to grow, is bound to go forward in the future as it has done in the past decade, and The Times has prepared for this growth years in ad- vance of the city's development, The aim of this newspaper, since its inception, has been to serve the people of the community in a whole-hearted man- tier, evar, looking forward to greater things for Osh- awa, and that aim has today found expression in the bigger and better news service which is inaugur. ated today. EUROPE'S COLD WAVE Burope is suffering from one of those freaks of the seasons, a cold wave almost unprecedented in its history, Reading the reports, which tell of tem- peratures of two to eight degrees below zero, Cana- dians might be excused from wondering why that amount of frost should cause so much suffering and trouble in Europe, when temperatures a great deal lower than that can be tolerated in Canada with little inconvenience and hardship. The reason, of course, is that such weather is unusual in Europe, and that the people are in no way prepared for it. Their homes, their clothing and their public services are fashioned with a view to meeting conditions which are entirely different, and which, at normal times, require no provision for sub-zero temperatures. Reading of the European tragedies, however, one cannot help feeling that Canadians are fortunate in their climatic conditions. The southern states have their tornadoes, cyclones and hurricanes, California has its earthquakes, and Europe has its floods and cold waves. Yet Canada seems to get along quite nicely with little or no suffering from any of these things. Possibly that is why this is so pleasant a country to live in. BEAUTIFYING THE PROVINCE The Hon. J. S. Martin paid a deserved tribute to the work of the Horticultural Societies of Ontario in his address at tbeir annual convention in Toronto a few days ago. Expressing the satisfaction of his department with the growth of the horticultural movement, Mr, Martin said: "In point of service and unselfishness this association is second to none in the province. Your aims have no connection with dollars and cents. You have no motives except the beauti- fication of Ontario through your love of flowers and the province is reaping the benefit of your work, particularly .through tourist traffic." In these remarks, Mr. Martin gave an insight inte the real work of horticuliural societies, that of com- munity beautification. Nothing makes a community so attractive to its own people and to visitors as to find it a place where flowers, shrubs and trees abound. Divine Providence has been good enough to make it possible for cities in this climate to be beautified beyond description in this way, and any community which fails to support a strong and virile horticultural society is failing to do its duty to the Creator of all beautiful things. THE PREMIER'S STAND ON PARTY FUNDS The strong statement made by Premier Ferguson regarding the sources from which the Conservative party secures its funds will be generally welcomed by the people of Ontario. After the diselosure that subscriptions had been solicited from brewers, dis- tillers and wing manufzaeturers by a Toi nto party organization, the only eoursc leit open to im was to either justify or deny the government's pail in that a uble to stand in the legislature and ye.d his letier exvressing disapproval of such soliei- tatives f party funds is to his eredit 23 a party tezdes, Thoye ean be no mistaking the sinecrity of THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1929 his words, and it is well that it is so. Particularly striking was his stetement of government policy, as expressed in the following words:-- "I am determined that the public shall under- stand the integrity, honesty, motive and purpose of the government in this matter. We are not going to associate with improprieties, either of a financial nature, or of any other kind." There are few people who will disagree with these sentiments. A government, of course, should not be glven too much credit for sponsoring them, because, after all, they are what the people have the right to expect from those in authority over them, A gove ernment which accepts contributions to its party funds from any and all sources, is at once suspected of ulterior motives, lays itself open to grave charges, and has no right to command the respect of the people, It is fortunate for Ontario that the premier was conscientiously able to declare that, in this important respect, his government has clean hands, EDITORIAL NOTES A German girl committed suicide by freezing here self to death, Could anyone imagine a more cold- blooded way of doing it than that? Europe is having a good old-fashioned Canadian winter, while Canadians are enjoying the mildest win- ter in years, Is this another proof that the seasons of the world are changing? "It is not marriage that falls, it is people that fall," remarks the Rev, Dr. Harry Fosdick. But marriage surely does show up those people who are destined to become failures, Premier King has come out and stated flatly that there will be no general federal election this year, If Premier Ferguson would give the same assurance regarding provincial affairs, the people of Ontario would settle back to enjoy a prosper ous and peaceful year, Lloyd George is nothing of not optimistic, He © claims that the Liberal party in Britain will turn out the Conservatives in the next election there, We can now expect to hear Mr, Lethbridge say that the Ontario Progressives are hopeful of forming the next provincial government, "We cannot see how the same country that pro- duced a Wilson and a Kellogg, could produce a Coolidge," says Agnes MacPhail, 8ho seems to have overlooked the fact that the country which produced a Sir Wilfred Laurier and a James A. Robb, also produced an Agnes MacPhail, Despite a vote of its ratepayers in favor of a smaller council, the Stratford aldermen refuse to reduce their numbers from fifteen to ten. They have gone even one beiter than the Oshawa alder- men of last year who merely refused to allow the people an opportunity to vote on the question at all, « Other Editors' Comment - THE NEED FOR RESEARCH (Hamilton Spectator (Ind, Cons.) Research work is cssentially patriotic. The Pro- duced-in-Canada movement could have no more valued helper than the institutes devoted to scientific in- vestigation of problems peculiar to Canadian condi- tions, Though much can be done by the public in buying home products, still more can be done by securing an increased utilization of the raw materials which are to be found in such great abundance in the Dominion, EMPIRE THANKSGIVING (Saint John Telegraph-Journal, The King is yet very far from restored to perfect health, It will be some time before it will be pos- sible to say that all cause for anxiety is removed. Convalescence after pleurisy is slow. But whereas there was an awful period of suspense when all the chances seemed to be against the King, it may now be said that there is every chance in his favour, Wherefore, if a thanksgiving is to be organized on a befitting scale--and no scale short of Imperial should be contemplated--it is perhaps time to begin thinking about fit. CANADA'S "MELTING POT" (Liverpool Post) In view of the sort of problems which Continental immigration has raised for the United States, the people of the Dominion may well be anxious to se- cure a more homogeneous population than the figures ifidicate as a likely development. We used to be told that in the United States the "melting pot" of American education and example would speedily evolve a special type in accord with national tradi- tion, But so far the "melting pot" has not operated, and we cannot see why it should be expected to work any better in Canada, DUTY OF A NEWSPAPER (Marless Paw, in Editor and Publisher) To me it seems that the first duty of the newspaper of any city or town is to work incessantly for high- grade men to serve local government, The ideal newspaper staff is one which knows more about its city and its problems than does the average public official. Such a staff acquires knowledge of civic technique and wins from the man in the street re cognition for the newspaper as the leading spirit of progress in each succeeding local political ad- ministration. Office-holders come and go, but the newspaper remains, It is perhaps too much to expect that 2 man of common attainments can step out of private life, say the garage business or a doctor's or lawyer's office, or a grocery store, and immediately take up the | duties of a public office with any degree of ability. He may have ideas about it, perhaps is blessed with "horse sense," and may be a good business man, but he really knows little. The peculiar technique of the work is not taught in any school or correspondence course. The various associations of public officials are usually impotent, There is no central source of information or inspiraticn. I suppose thousands of well-intentioned men come into local office every year and strive for a time to yield honorable service to the people, only to fail because of lack of under- standing of the business of governing or small ima- gination as to possibilities. Hence, the first business of the newspaper is to find and urge the cause of high types of candidates, and through the columns of the paper, work with them after election for worthy objects, - - Bits of Verse - - , Gang Police have organized at last on a desperate drive against the combined forces of the gangs which have now begun openly to wage warfare in Chicago, Such a move has been anticipated for a year or more, and has come at last, However, seven have suffered death at the hands of the "mob" and this was needed to set the law in action, The slaughter, for it was little less than slaughter, reminds one of the mob violence that characterized the ancient periods, Mob rule killed the spice of many people in those earlier times and if a mutual drive is not conducted a slow but disastrous result may be counted on as 2 certainty.

And you will join the Shadow throng f vague regret, . And tho' I hold you ever. dear Within my heart, Yet Memory is a quiet land Where griefs depart. There like a very precious Wel Whose fire is dead. I shall look back upon®ur love And feel no dread, A while we dwell among the stars Forgetting sorrow ; And being happy in ourselves Forgot the morrow, But life, has lost its fairest charm Forevermore, And something of my soul has died None can restore, Still as the many years steal on I will forget, And you must join the phantom throng Of old regrets. . An Introduction A. G. Lee, of Oshawa, as the pen- name signifies, is a literarian of this city whose ability as a writer is bound to come to the fore sooner or later. Although the identity of such a personage is much better main- tained a secret, it has come to our attention that the work of this writ- er has been favorably commented upon by several in the city who are interested in Jiterature and poetry as an art. ite recently articles were brought to the attention of the writer of this column which had been written by A. G. Lee, and of such fine merit were these found to be, that space in the column was im- mediately reserved for future publi- cation of these works: - Bits of Humor » PARLOR STYLE Jane (at football game): Isn't Jack playing this quarter?

Lee, Oshawa. 5s That Body of Pours By James W. Barton, M.D. EXTRA LUNG SURFACE WHEN NEEDED A man boasting about his motor car will tell you that it has a won- derful pick-up, and will go from five to fifty miles in a few seconds, This is no doubt a wonderful point about motor cars, and yet did you ever think about that body of yours, and how quickly it can be doing its fastest and hardest work? You step on the gas of a car and if you step too hard you get no par- ticular response, because you have to work it up to its full speed gradually, Howeyer someone just pushes a pin into you, or you see something that frightens you, and you reach your maximum speed immediately. You can get your speed up in about the fraction of a second, You and I never pause to think about the fact that we can change from a lying down position to the actual speed of a one hundred yard dash in practically "no time." You can thus see how much more perfect that body of yours is than any machine made by man. And yet despite the differences be- tween lying down and running at full speed, therc is practically no heating up of that body of yours, In fact the most vigorous exercise you may take will not send your tem- erature up more than one degree. ork cannot heat up your body to a dangerous point, And yet when you do a tremen- dous amount of work, you manufac- ture a great amount of carbon di- oxide, © This must be removed from the blood and thence out of the body by way of the lungs. To sup- ply oxygen to make up for the loss of oxygen thus thrown out, the lungs must pump a great amount of ox- ygen into the body. And the heart must of course pump extra blood to lungs to get rid of the wastes manu- factured. It must then pump this new pure blood to all parts of the body to take the place of the used up materials that were thrown out as wastes, Dr. E. D. Churchill of Boston tells us that in addition to the breathing being faster and deeper, there seems to be parts of the lung that are in a sort of resting condition, but im- mediately the need = arises these spaces, or parts that are resting, spring into action and thus give more lung "surface" which gives out car- bon dioxide and takes in oxygen. This is just one more examnle of how Nature keeps always ahead of our needs, (Registered in accordance with. the Copyright Act.)

(Read: Ephesians ' 4:17-32.) MEDITATION: I observe that many of the ills of life come from self-neglect, It is true there are those who are over much concerned about themselves, who by constant thinking about themselves are kept | in ill-health. This is an evil to be avoided, But there are also those who are sick because they have been careless of themselves. This season is first a call to self-attention. Ab- sorbed in my work or diverted by my pleasure have I been forgetful of myself, careless of the inner life? My own spiritual health is a prim- ary concern, If I would be used and useful in the service of Christ I must keep myself fit. PRAYER: Almighty God who has called me from the death of sin to the life of righteousness, give me the courage to look into my own life to see whether there be any wicked way in me, Awake my sleeping heart. Make mo sensible of how wide and far I have strayed Desolate and hungry as I must ever be away from Thee, give me grace to say to-day, I will arise and go to my Father. Amen. "Rent Jumpers" May Run Into Difficulty People who trust in the old ad- age that "it is cheaper to mo.e than pay rent" will greet with little ap- proval a bill introduc.d in the leg- islature by Karl K. Homuth, Con- servative memeber for Waterloo. The measure would make it com- pulsory for all persons or organiza- tions engaged in the "moving" | business to file with the clerk of the municipality in which he resides or operates, the names of all per- sons whom he moves, together with the addresses of the place from which the furniture was moved and where it was taken. | This is an effort to defeat "rept- jumpers" and "bailiff-beaters." Through the information filed with the clerk, persons who have bills | against the "moved" persons are thereby enabled to locate them reading | Hon. William Finlayson said: "'Car- ried is right."

So far, including The Times, there are only five newspaper of- fices in Canada which are equipped with the Creed automatic printer. There are the offices of the Peter- boro Examiner, the Kingston Whig- Standard, the Owen Sound Sun- Times, and the London Advertiser. The former three papers are on a circuit with The Times, completing a northern and eastern Ontario circuit which is receiving the full service of the Canadian Press. The automatic printer has a capacity ranging from 16000 to 20000 words in a day, and, as the former tele- graphic service of The Times was about three thousand words a day, readers can readily understand what this great increase will mean in the way of added up-to-the- mi ute news.
