THURSDAY, JUNE 6, 1929 creasing volume of British news, It would be interest- ing. to know if the British newspaper are reciprocat- ing. by publishing anything like the same amount of news relating to this country. KINGSTON'S ADVANTAGE Kingston this week took the lead of Oshawa and other Ontario cities in one important phase of de- velopment, that of the provision of facilities for the landing and departure of aeroplanes. The municipal airport at. Kingston was this week opened with much acclaim, and justly so, for the cities which have be- come sufficiently air-minded to establish a flying field and airport, with an active Aviation Club to sponsor it, are few and far between in this province. It is noticeable, however, that they are growing in number. Kingston's airport is now an established faet, and the people of Stratford recently showed their progressiveness by passing a bylaw for the expendi- ture of $15,000 for the provision of an airport there. , The city of Kitchener, too, has its plans well ad- vanced, and in Woodstock a joint committee of the city council and board of trade is exploring the pos- sibilities of a flying base for that city. With activity of this kind going on in various parts of the province, it is necessary that Oshawa should bestir itself in a similar direction. This city, more: than most, has good reason to be prepared for great developments in aviation, for there is no telling what the future may bring forth to affect Oshawa's in- terest in the aviation industry. Delay may be dan- gerous, and it would be well worth while for both the city council and the Chamber of Commerce to give the matter the most serious of consideration. RADIO AND NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING Roger Babson is one of the outstanding business experts of the world, and his words are eagerly watched by men in the highest places in business life, b they carry much weight. Recently Mr. Bab- HELP TO REDUCE TAXES One of the strong points in favor of the by-law for the purchase of the hydro and gas distribution sys- tems it that the deal involves no expenditure of money out of the city treasury, nor does it mean the addition of a single dollar to the city taxes. This should be very clearly born in mind by all ratepayers who might be doubtful about supporting a measure which calls for the issue of debentures for $520,000. . On the other hand, it is quite possible that, within a very short time, municipal ownership of the hydro and gas plants might bring about a reduction in the tax rate. This reduction might very well come from a de- crease in the cost of street lighting to the city. At the present time, the cost of street lighting in Oshawa, in proportion to its installed capacity, is much higher than adjacent towns and cities which are operating their own plants, Taking 100 watts as a basis, the cost in Oshawa is $15.12; in Kingston, $9.57; in Peter- boro, $10.22; in Whitby, $10.30, and in Picton, $12.00. Lindsay offers an even more interesting basis of comparison. Last year, before the system became a municipal utility, the cost was $14.43 per 100 watts. This year, since the system was taken over by the town, the cost has been reduced to $11.64. It is rather remarkable that this suddent drop should have taken place after the change in ownership of the distribu- tion system, but it is another example from experience elsewhere to show the benefits of municipal operation of utilities. There is no valid reason, other than the difference in the operation method, why Oshawa should have so much higher a street lighting rate than Kingston, Peterboro, Whitby or any other place. Yet the pro- vincial commission has declared that there will beso reduction in rates for Oshawa until the city acquires its plant and distribution system. With the incentive of a possible reduction in taxes added to that of securing cheaper power for industries as well as for commercial and domestic use, there can be only one answer from the vast majority of 'the ratepayers on the question of whether the hydro and gas distribution system should be purchased. UNIVERSAL DAYLIGHT SAVING There sems to be a decided trend of public opinion this year in the direction of having daylight saving made at least province-wide, if not applicable to the whole Dominion. This feeling is due to the fact that urban municipalities are more and more adopting the daylight saving plan, at the urgent request of their citizens. That being so, a state of confusion exists which is detrimental to business, and bothersome to all who have to travel. : The benefits of daylight saving are acknowledged by _ all those who live in communities where it is in effect, and these benefits are worth giving to the whole pro- vince. A fair sample of public opinion on the subject is found in the following editorial comment from the Brantiord Expositor :-- "The time has come for the people of Ontario to take decided action in regard to daylight sav- ing. The greatest argument in its favor is that these municipalities which adopted it have contin- ued .the custom. There are many advantages of using the early hours of daylight for work, leav- ing the long evenings free for recreation." There is much to be said in favor of this attitude. The situation will never be satisfactory until the cus- tom of daylight saving is made an universal one, or until it is dropped altogether, and those people who have once enjoyed it are not likely to give it up very easily. BRITISH NEWS IN CANADIAN PAPERS About a year ago, when a large party of British parliamentarians visited this country, one of the crit- icisims they had to make was that there was not a sufficient amount of British news in the newspapers of Canada. Had these same men been in Canada dur- ing the last few weeks, during the period of the gen- eral clection campaign in Great Britain, they would have had no fault to find. One of the features of the clection, so far as the Canadian public is concerned, is the great mass of news which the papers of this country have published regarding it. This was largely due to the enterprise of The Canadian Press in sending George Hambleton, a veteran newspaperman, to London some time ago as the special representative of the newspapers of this country, 'and in making special arrangements for an extensive service of election news. It is doubtful, in fact, if many of the British newspapers themselves printed more regarding the election than did those newspaper which, like The Oshawa Times, are receiv- ing the full Canadian Press leased wire service, The newspapers of Canada have come to realize that there is an intense interest in this country in the affairs of the old land, and this is being reflected in the \ it Shey are printing n° ever-in- son tried an experiment in advertising, and the re- sults of this test are worth passing on to others. In his experiment, the purpose of Mr. Babson was to test the relative drawing powers of radio and newspaper advertising. At a cost of $3,000 he broad- cast an advertisement by radio. He received sixteen inquiries anid two orders as a result. A few days later, he printed his advertisement in five newspapers in different cities, at a cost of $3,000, and he received 4,000 replies, On a basis of cost, the radio advertising cost him $166.66 for each reply, while the newspaper advertis- ing cost only 75 cents per reply. As an actual test, made by a man whose findings in business matters are unchallenged, this is worth a great deal to those who find it essential to use ad- vertising for business building purposes. There are many firms, of course, whith use both the radio and the newspapers for advertising purposes, but if they all have the esame experience as Roger Babson, the latter medium is the only one which is bringing much in the way of profitable results, A WASTE OF MONEY A few days ago a ponderous volume was received in the officc of The Times, a volume of 985 pages. It looked impressive, but on inspection it was found to be an occupational summary of the people of Can- ada, based on the census which was taken in 1921, eight years ago, With the next census only two years off, one wonders just what useful purpose the governs. ment printing bureau hopes to serve by distributing a volume which might well be regarded as obsolete, since the information it contained, compiled eight years ago, must assuredly be out of date long ago. In fact, the printing and distribution of this impres- sive looking volume, eight years after the material contained in it was collected, is nothing more than a waste of public money. In most cases, it will pro- bably find its way into wastepaper baskets, because no one wishes to go back as far as 1921 in consider- ing the occupations followed by certain number of the people of the various communities of Canada. CANADA'S LOSS EUROPE'S GAIN It is interesting to note that what may be a serious matter for one country is a decided. benefit to another For insance, the large surplus of wheat in the world has had a serious reaction on the price of that com- modity, and the wheat producers of this country are being forced to accept a greatly reduced price for the grain which has not yet been marketed, It means a loss to the grain growers of Canada. Yet, at the same time, it means a gain to the grain consumers of Great Britain and Europe. Already the poverty-stricken people in the depressed areas of Great Britain are congratulating themselves on the fact that bread is to be cheaper. In Europe, where economic conditions in some countries are at a low 'ebb, the prospect of cheaper wheat means a great deal. Possibly, in one sense, the reduction in the price of bread means a great deal more to the consumers who are in poverty than the loss of a few cents a bushel does to the producers in this and other coun- tries. ' In any case, "It is an ill wind that blows nobody good," and it would seem as if the poorer classes in Britain and Europe are to benefit by the misfortunes of the grain growers of this continent, EDITORIAL NOTES When gasoline and liquor are mixed the result is usually a death dealing concoction, With Vesuvius in eruption, tourists to Europe. this . year will have a new attraction to visit in Italy.

"glad Liquor Control Measure MR. SINCLAIR AND THE L. C. A. (Toronto Globe) The attempt being made in cer- tain 'quarters to read into the '| speech of Mr. W. E. N. Sinclair, K.C., Leader of the Opposition in the Ontario Legislature, what is not there nor was in the speaker's mind will not get far with sensible people who can read and under- stand plain English. To say, as is being said; that Mr. Sinclair at Fort William discarded his temper. ance convictions as expressed in the 1919 resolution of the Liberal convention, and reiterated on muuy platforms since then, and is now an advocate of Government control puts words in the Liberal Leaders mouth he did not utter and is con- trary to the thought and intent of his address. What Mr. Sinclair has done =» simply to reiterate the stand of his party for 'progressive temperance legislation," to look existing facts in the face and to pledge his purty to the enforcement of such legisla- tion as has been and may be ex- pressed in the will of the people. A pronouncement of this kind is both sane and sensible. The Liquor Control Act is here by the vote of the people of Ontario, and will re- main until the people again by their ballots take it from the stat- ute books. What Mr. Sinclair-- and every right-thinking temper- snce man and.woman---desires to see is the L.C.A. carried out to the letter and spirit in accordance witn the pre-election pledges and prom- ises of the present Government. This, the Liberal Leader charges, has not been done. His words that have been misinterpreted read as = | follows: By reason of the vote of the people at the last election the temperance plank of the 1919 convention is no longer appli- cable. The change in the method of dealing with the temperance question as requir- ed by the people, as shown by their vote in 1926, requires that the Liberal Party ap- proach the question as it did at the 1919 convention and as it did at the 1926 election, having in view the will of the people. The Liberal Party al- ways respects, and endeavors to carry into effect, the ex- pressed wishes of the peopie. 'The foundation upon which Liberalism is based is that the will of the people must pre- vail. The Liberal Party always stood for advanced temper- ance legislation, and does not recede from that position now. Methods of dealing with prob- lems change. The method now required by the people as the means of dealing with the temperance question is that of Government control. To this problem the Liberal Party must now bring its best judg- ment. There i8 nothing in these words that any advocate of the temper- ance cause could not adopt. There is neither sacrifice of principle nor repudiation. of conviction. The Liberal Leader is probably as strongly convinced of the superior- ity of the O.T.A. over the L.C.A. as The Globe is; but, like any sens- ible man, he recognizes that the will of the people must be carried out, irrespective of party or per- sonal convictions on particular is- sues. Whether public opinion de- mands at some future time the repeal or the retention of the pres- ent measure of dealing with the liquor trafic, it will at all times be the bounden duty of whatever party is in power to see that the measure is properly, efficiently and fearlessly administered. To say that Mr. Sinclair favors the pres- ent measure of controlling the drink traffic is ridiculous. He re- cognizes the law as he recognizes other laws he may not agree with, and repeats his words of 1926, ex- pressing the hope 'that our Prov- ince may not be too seriously in- jured by the decision of the peo- ple on Dec. 1, whereby this bill be carried into effect." That the Act has worked to the detriment of the Province The Globe believes, and unless this pa- per is much mistaken that is Mr. Sinclair's conviction also. . 'MR. SINCLAIR NOW ON THE GOVERNMENT CONTROL WAGON (Toronto Mail and Empire) Mr. Sinclair, leader of the Lib- eral party: in this province, an- nounces that he has finally turned his back on prohibition, of which he formerly professed himself the ardent champion. He has decided, he says, to give his support to the government control policy, advo- cated and carried at the polls by Premier Ferguson. The legislation establishing government control and providing the machinery for its operation was drafted by Premier Ferguson and is administered by a board of his appointing. Along with Mr. Sinclair's confessed con- dered, as might havo been expect- ed, a declaration of. confidence in the Ferguson government. There is no sign of repentance offered by the opposition leader for his per- sistent condemnation of one of the main reforms wrought by the Con- servative party, a reform he now swallows. Nor has he the decency to submit an excuse to the prohibi- tionists he thus deserted after ex- ploiting their cause and casting it off when he found it too short a {ladder upon which to mount into office. To qualify as a suceessrul, calculating politician a man must have a head on his shoulders; bad faith alone is not sufficient. What will be the result of Mr. Sinclair's change of front? It will disgust and alienate the prohibitionists who believed in him and voted for him. It will not gain him recruits from the adherents of government control whom he formerly con- ned Wi ' 1 ' version to that policy was not ten. | more inclined to have faith in him after witnessing this mean deser- tion of his prohibitionist allies. This man who was ,k so uncom- promising in his opposition to gov- ernment control that he estranged a very considerable section of his supporters in the house has now gone over to their camp. By so do- ing he admits that the real leader- ship of his party in the house lay with the insurgents. How can he hope to keep the respect of his own party when he, a strong prohibi- tionist, humbly defers to its anti- prohibition wing? He has gone back on the "drys" who held to him, he has sided with their op- ponents of his own party, he has adopted the policy of the govern- ment, and he still opposes the gov- ernment. He professes now to be actuated by profound respect for the will of the people, the will professes to be won over to a pol- icy that he formerly all but exe- crated. What place is left for such a man in Ontario politics? He treats as stumbling blocks to office what before he had looked upon as aids thereto. His talk about prin- ciple will no longer be taken seri- ously. The principle to which he declared his loyalty was prohibi- tion. It is now devout regard for the will of the people. What will it be tomorrow? It is to ensure the righteous ad- ministration of the liquor control law that he now seeks office. His motto seems to be "Let who will make the people's laws, so long as I be entrusted with the administra- tion of them." He would push out of power the government that stak- ed its political life on its solution of the liquor traffic problem and won by an enormous majority against his efforts, and he would accept responsibility for the ad- ministration of the policy in which that solution is embodied. He de- clares himself ready to support whatever changes in the law the people call for. If public opinion should swing round in favor of the open bar, the sturdy prohibitionist of the day before yesterday would, according to this announced change of heart, go with it.

If we feel a pain anywhere we try to secure relief at once and then per- haps investigate the cause a little later. Now there are other points about that body of yours that should be just as important, in fact more im- portant, than a little pain. I refer for instance to the loss or gain in weight. It comes along so gradually that you scarcely notice it; it is only when your friends remark on your gain or loss in weight that you per- haps pay any attention thereto. Now a little loss or a little gain may be exactly what your body needs but if you have been going about your regular routine of life and yet show a loss or gain there is some underlying reason for it. If you are losing weight it may be that there is some stomach or lung condition that is beginning to have its effect upon the tissues. If you are gaining in weight then it is likely that you are simply eat- ing more or exercising less. Now this may not be a serious matter and yet serious kidney or heart condi- tions can follow an increase in weight. Research men tell us that the ma- jority of patients with diabetes give a history of overweight. It must be admitted of course that some folks are naturally overweight despite the fact that they eat no more, in fact eat less than other in- dividuals who are actually under- weight. They were born that way. This is due to the action, or lack of action of the ductless glands, which permit food to be stored instead of being built into muscle or thrown out as waste. However these cases num- ber only about one in a hundred so there is only one cause for most cases of overweight, that is overeating. Forget about cutting down on cer- tain articles of food such as potatoes and bread, but cut down on all food by 10 to 15 per cent, Making the noon meal the "big" meal of the day. It may not be wise from the stand- point of getting mental work done, but helps to reduce the weight gra- dually for a gain or loss. (Registered in accordance with the Copyright Act).
