Powers and Stone, Inc, New York and Chicago, aa SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1929 A JUVENILE COURT FOR OSHAWA The visit of Judge Harkness of Toronto to Osh- awa last night, and the meeting which he addressed in the city hall, advanced considerably the proposal to establish a juvenile court in Oshawa under the Juvenile Delinquency "Act. The subject had, of course, been given much previous discussion, and the council of last year committed itself to the plan, but it still remains to be put into operation. After hear- ing the lucid explanations of Judge Harkness last night, it is extremely difficult to find any valid reason for delaying any longer the taking of the necessary action to make the Oshawa juvenile court an actu ality, There are two main lines of reasoning which lead to the conclusion that a juvenile court for Oshawa is a highly desirable thing, and Judge Harkness gave clear pronouncements on both of them, The first of these reasons is that of prevention of crime, The function of the juvenile court is differ~ ent from that of the police court in that the latter operates largely under the criminal code of Canada, while the former is governed by the Juvenile Delin- quency Act of 1908, There is a vast difference be- tween the two, Under the juvenile court legislation, the main thought is the future welfare of the child, while the criminal code has for its main objective the protection of society. The type of cases which come under the jurisdiction of a juvenile court are largely those in which only supervision and guidance are necessary to turn a de- linquent into a well-behaved and self-respecting citi- zen, With the type of investigation, supervision and action provided under the Juvenile Delinquents Act, it is possible to halt misdemecanours on the part of children before they reach the status of crime, and in so doing, the court justifies itself a thousand-fold, for every life which is turned from wrong-doing to a realization of what is expected of a useful and law- abiding citizen, is worth untold riches to the country, The second line of reasoning which prompts the necessity of having a juvenile court in Oshawa is that it rounds out the social and welfare organization of the city, Oshawa already has its police department, .its health department, its Children's Aid Society, its social welfare worker and its school attendance of- ficer, all of which are playing a splendid and int- portant part in dealing with delinquent children, for delinquency is not altogether a matter of crime. Rather is it often a matter of defective health, bad home conditions, misguided and misdirected energy, all of which can be put right if caught in time. The juvenile court is the co-ordinating link in all these activities, since it provides an authoritative channel through which they can work without having the stigma of a police court record attached to a child of tender years, For these two main reasons, and for many others, most important of which is the provision under the JJuvenile Delinquents Act for the punishment of those contributing to the delinquency of a child, there should be no further delay in taking the necessary steps for the establishment of a juvenile court here, As Mayor Mitchell stated last night, the members of the city council are practically unanimous in favor of it, That being so, there is no use in waiting any fonger before making the necessary application to have a court established here to be a blessing to the community and to the young people who, through its beneficient efforts, will be kept from paths of wrong- doing. THE MINERS' FUND It is disappointing to find the people of Oshawa so slow in responding to the call of the destitute miners in Great Britain. So much has appeared in the press regarding their sufferings, and particularly the plight of 'the children, that it is hard to conceive of a community like Oshawa paying so little atten- tion to the appeal. The objective of $1,000 for Osh- awa is a very small one for a city like this, but it is still a long way off, and it will only be by generous and plentiful contributions that it will be reached. Suely the hearts of Oshawa people will open to the cry of meed of their brothers in distress, and will ensure that the city's contribution for this worthy cause will be a fitting one. - WORTHY OF SUPPORT On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week, the Little Theatre of Oshawa will stage another of its frequent productions. The play which is being uced this month is one of A. A. Milne's little gems, "To Have the Honor" a whimsical and fan- tastic creation which has in it the essence of delight for a discriminating 'audience. In producing this play, the Little Theatre players are attempting something which will be worthy of support. The whole movement, in fact, is worthy of much greater support than hag yet been accorded to it, for it is trying fo bring to Oshawa a type of culture which is much-needed in this busy industrial city. People who are busily engaged in their work a-day occupations need the relaxa of plays such as this to lift them out of themselves, to take them away from life, as it were, and to relieve the strain which hard toil, either of body or brain, is bound to produce. ' ; Those who are giving of their time and talent to make this movement possible are worthy of support and encouragement, and the best way in which these can be given to them is by capacity audiences attend. ing the Rotary Hall on the first three evenings of next week to be thoroughly entertained. \ . THE REASONS FOR HIGH TAXATION. Speaking at a nomination meeting of Innisfil town- ship, one of the ratepayers let drop from his lips a few pearls of wisdom regarding the reason why taxes are so heavy a burden on the people of most Ontario communities, He said: -- "Township, town, county, provincial and federal governments are blamed in turn for the increased taxation, but I say it is the people who are dic- tating the situation, and they have the remed: in their own hands, if they want to use it, but 1 do not think they do. If we must ride in autos, we must have roads and gasoline, The situation, 1 repeat, is out of control of Innisfil, or the county or the province, If the people must have these things, 1 repeat, they must expect to pay for them, and I say right here that they will pay more before they pay less." \ These words' fit the situation exactly. Every gov- erning body is faced, year after year, with demands from the people that 'improvements be made, and these things, of course cost money which the people have to pay. There will be little opportunity for tax- makers to reduce the burdens on the people until the people themselves are willing to cease their demands, and to curb their desires for things which, while very nice to have, require heavy expenditures, The federal gov t feels this truth in the thousands of demands made upon it for public' works, provincial governments have to face it in demands for new highways, new buildings and other improve- ments, and it is also thrust upon municipalities by the appeals of the citizens for better streets, better light- ing, more schools, more buildings, and many other things which help to build up the tax rate, The only way in which taxes can be lowered is by the people calling a halt to their demands upon public funds, and marking time until there has been a sufficient reduction in the burden to justify extensive new commitments, EDITORIAL NOTES.

Which probably explains why the girls become partial to boys after they pass the doll stage, Germany is quite willing to give a welcome to Leon Trotzky, But if he creates as much of a rumpus there as he did in his own country, they will quickly regret their bargain, "Service to help others who cannot help theme selves" is an excellent motto, and if the Canadian Legion of Oshawa lives up to it, the community will be the better for its existence.

WHERE RELIGION IS REAL (St. Marys Journal-Atgus) One hears it said that the great body of church- goers nowadays are lukewarm and half-hearted. 'hatever truth there may be in that statement, cer- tainly it does not apply to the missionaries who are laboring in home and foreign fields. And one of the most stimulating experi that the churches enjoy these times is a visit from missionaries on furlough from the busy mission fields, To these men religion +is still something real, something worth living or 5 0 ing for, His Lordship the Bishop of Athabasca, spoke in St. James' Church recently, is one of those men who has the spirit of the missionary and whose spiritual fervor is stimulating. Truly, the reclaiming of the heathen is b no means the only important benefit which the churches will receive from their enlarging missionary programs. - +» Bits of Verse - - THE WORLD'S JUDGMENT They said that he was coarse and hard, More given to oaths than gentle speech; Warned me to be upon my guard And stay beyond his sofling reach.

Barton, M.D. LYING DOWN SAFEST FOR : HEART ' One of the little mistakes well meaning friends make when they are trying to help a fainting or injured person is trying to prop up the head with a pillow or coat, or else put a supporting arm around him and hold him in a sitting position, Now the first thought in fainting or. an injury should be to give the heart every chance to do its best work, and it is able to do this in the lying down position, In the sitting or erect position the lungs get more room, demand more air, and therefore demand also mere blood from the heart. The erect position means also that the heart has to pump blood upwards, instead of on a level as is the case where the patient is lying down. Physiologists tell us that, gener- ally speaking, if the heart in the ly- ing down position is doing one unit of werk, it does three units at the sitting position, five units at stand- ing position, and ten units in exer- cise as in brisk © walking, These figures are relative of course. You can readily see therefore that allow- ing the fainting or injured persen to lie absolutely quiet, with enough movement in air about him to take or move away the waste from his lungs, enables the heart, however feeble, to gradually gain strength, I spoke recently of a bed patient in a tuberculosis sanatarium who expected to lie flat in bed for two years jefore he even sat up. y. So that his lungs would get the best possible chance to rest. Lying so quietly his Jungs did not need to move so much to give him the amount of air he hol ii, On the other hand you can readily see that in an asthmatic or bron- chitis patient, who is naturally anxious to get rid of the waste in his lungs, and get more fresh air or oxygen into his system, sits, stands, up, or gets to a window, because in an erect position he can get more action from his lungs, However the thought we want to get today is that the lying down position is the "safest" in injury or a faint, and that sitting or standing at this time may induce shock or complete collapse. And this applics where there has been illness. The patient should be willing to lie in bed until the doctor considers it safe for him to get up, (Registered in accordance with the Copyright Act.)

MEDITATION: My sorrow is ever with me, I would have it so. To forget would be a shameful dis- loyalty. There is a strange comfort in remembering and grieving. It assures me that love is triumphant over death. Sorrow is not a mere passing episode; it is an initiation into a new and higher order of life whose mysteries were hid till sor- row came and opened our eyes. "Tis sorrow builds the shining ladder up, ; Whose golden rounds calamities, whereon Our feet firm planting, God the Spirit climbs, And has its eyes unseal. d." PRAYER: O Lord, support us all the day long of this troublous lite until the shadows lengthen and the evening comes and the busy world is hushed and the fever of lite is over and our work is done. Then of Thy great mercy grant us a safe lodging and a holy rest and peace at the last; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen, J. H. Newnran. MRS.
