WEDNESDAY, JUNE 26, 1929 A WORK OF MERCY This week the Red Cross Ccitage on Oshawa's Lakeshcsa opened its doors' to begin another season of a worth-while work mercy. On Monday, twenty-two children, all recovering from the effects of illness and disease, were admitted to the cottage by the lake, there to spend two weeks under special care and supervision, two weeks which will count for much in the building up of healthy bodies and minds. And these children are only the fore-run- ners of nearly two hundred others. who, during the summer months, will come under the kindly ministra- tions of the Red Cross Society at its Lakeside cot- tage. The value of this work to the community it serves vannot be fully estimated. It means a health-building opportunity for children who would otherwise have to spend the entire summer in their homes, most of them in the congested areas of the city. Every child who goes to the cottage has some disability to over- come. It may be the effects of: under-nourishment, of sickness or discasc, or of deformity, Whatever of the cause may be, these are children who need only. the opportunity to regain health and strength, and make them more fit to stand the strain of the grow- ing periods of their lives, The Red Cross Society, in' sponsoring this noble work, has taken on a great responsibility, The ace tual supervision and care of the children is in goud hands, for Mrs, McKinnoh, 'the matron, is capable 'of attending to all their nceds, But the financial burden is a serious one, and one which must be shared by the citizens as a whole if the work is to continue. The people of Oshawa, of course, will generously wpport this kind of work, because they know. the weed which exists right in their own community,. aud will make sure that the work is continued, The fin- wicing is done entirely by voluntary contributions, wd, because of a full realization of the splendid work that is being done, and the nced for it which exists, The Times welcomes the opportunity of ap- pealing to its readers to make contributions, gener- ously and promptly, so that it can be carried on in a larger measure than ever before. Any contribution, whether it be the handsome cheque of the man of business; or the widow's mite, will be gratefully received and acknowledged, and The Times office is at the disposal of those who wish 'to give. But time is short, and contributions should be made at once so that the work of this summer will not suffer. LOST IN THE ATLANTIC Only a few days ago The Times made the predic- tion that, before the end of the Atlantic flying sea- san of 1929, more names of brave aviators would be added to the list of those who have sacrificed them- selves in the attempt to cross the ocean by air. That prediction has come true sooner than was expected, for four gallant Spaniards have disappeared some- where between the coast of Spain and the Azores, where they were to haye halted on the first leg of a flight to the United States. These aviators might reasonably have been ex- pected to succeed in their effort, for they did not contemplate making a non-stop flight. Their plans called for a series of hops across the ocean spaces. Yet something went wrong while the airmen and their frail craft was out somewhere over the ocean, and they are listed as missing. It is hardly likely that they will be found, although there have been cases in which aviators have been picked up by small vessels without wireless equip ment, and have not been heard of for days. But the fact that a three day search over the area they were supposed to traverse has failed to reveal any trace of them leads to the belief that they have gone the same way as the twenty-one other aviators who have lost their lives in an attempted Atlantic flight. It seems a foolhardy waste of human life to con. tinue these perilious aerial ventures, particularly when the novelty of the achievement has worn off, and there are no fresh laurels to be gained by suc- ceeding in the effort. There are other fields of en- deavor in aviation which would be more beneficial to the sum of human knowledge than a flight across the ocean. As has been suggested before, something should be done to put a stop to flights which have no worth while objective, and which, by their very nature, have only a slim chance of complete success. DROWNING ACCIDENTS Nearly every day the newspapers of Ontario, at this time of the year, have to record deaths from drowning, and the majority of these are the result neti RY men te Ae ry 3 LSS a Tn gw of sailing in canoes. This does not necessarily mean THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 26, 1929 et RRO l lO dA ll ll etl that canoes are dangerous when in the hande of sen- sible and capable paddlers, but it does mean that there are certain types of people who should not venture in them, For instance, a young man was drowned at Toronto the other day, when a canoe upset, because he could not swim, It should be an inexorable law of per- sonal conduct that no person should go canoeing, es- pecially in deep water, without first making sure that he or she is able to swim to safety in case of accident. That is the only sure rule for safety, because the hazard is great enough even for those who can swim, so that it is multiplied a hundred fold when non- swimmers venture in such frail craft, : The second class of people who should keep out of canoes is made up of those who are inexperienced in handling them. The handling of a canoe does call for special skill, and, in particular, for the display of commen sense. How many young people have lost their lives because they had so little sense as to stand up in their frail craft, or attempt to change seats without knowing the proper way to go about it. The summer season is only starting, There will doubtless be many more drowning fatalities before it ends. But the number would be appreciably re- duced if the simple rules for canoe safety outlined above were observed, DIVIDED OPINIONS Opinions are strangely divided as to the merit or demerit of the sentence of four years in Portsmouth Penittentiary which was passed on Orval Shaw by the magistrate who tried him at London. In some cases, there is a decided view that the sentence was far too severe, for the nature of the crimes of which Shaw was guilty, and that his term was made drastic largely because he made the police look foolish in their ei- forts to capture him, On the other extreme there arc those who are of the opinion that Shaw's sentence was only what he deserved, and that the ends of justice have only been met by sending him to the penitentiary. There is another aspect, however, which is per- haps more important than either of these. That is the effect of the sentence on Shaw himself, It must be admitted that Shaw's offences were, very largely, of a minor character, but their number made him appear as a dangerous man to be at large, Yet the beginnings of his misdeeds seem to suggest that his greatest trouble is that he has been, in the past, unable to settle down to any useful occupation, either by lack of training or by lack of opportunity. What must be considered is what type of a citizen will be returning to freedom when his penitentiary term is over, Will it be a man soured against the outside world, and with his hand turned against his fellow men? Or will it be a man who has used his term of punishment, as so many are doing, for his own self-improvement? vantage of the opportunities for training provided in the penitentiary, then the four year term will be a blessing in disguise to him, for it will make it possible for him to acquire knowledge and skill that will enable him to earn an honest living when he is again a freemen. From that point of view, and it is the most important one, it would seem that the four year penitentiary term is the best thing that could happen to Shaw, at least, for his own sake, TARIFFS AND MILK PRICES Coincident with the increase in the United States tariff against Canadian milk and cream, it is an- nounced that the price of milk has already been ad- vanced eight cents a gallon in Washington, and -this has impelled the statement that the increased tariff means more starving babies in New York City. The increase in the price of milk, of course, is the logical result of the tariff inercase, That was what it was expected to do. The reason for it was that the farmers were not prospering, and wanted some relief, and the only way in which the dairy farmers could secure that relief was to shut the door as tight- ly: as possible against the competing product. from Canada, and thus cuable them to secure a higher price for their milk and cream. That is one of the inevitable results of a tariff which completely shuts out competition, and that is why such a tariff is imposed, Of course, it is unfortunate that, while the farmers will receive more money for their product, babies in New York will have to do without that precious fluid, The babies were not represented by powerful friends at Washington while the higher tariffs were being debated, while the farmers had the ear of the ald- ministration, and won the battle, . So the farm rclief measures in the United States, if won at the expense of the starving babies of the crowded cities, will be a rather hollow victory in the final analysis, EDITORIAL NOTES Disarmament might well start at home by practis- ing it on the Windsor river front. There are some people who don't spend money fool- ishly. They are either Scotsmen or broke. One consolation is that when people don't care what they do, nobody else cares cither, Cows are to appear in Ontario movies. Will this cause another increase in the price of milk and beef? Oshawa seems to be off the rain map. The big storms of the past week have all blown around the city, The telegraph companies, it is said, are trying to humanize their services. But are not mistakes hu- man? The wealth of Canada is computed at $27,000,000.000. A few people are wondering when they can collect their share. A Congressman in Chicago was found carrying a gun, It would be more surprising to find a man there who did not carry one. The Red Cross Society needs your help to care for Oshawa's sick and needy children. Make your contribution generously and promptly. , The children who have to write examinations in- side schoolrooms on these sweltering hot days have our sympathy, particularly when we recall how we had to do the same thing many years ago. The people of Oshawa, in supporting the Rotary Street Fair, showed that they will rally behind a good cause. They have another opportunity provided for them in the need of the Red Cross Socigty. é If he is willing to take ad.' Other Editor's Comments PERPETUAL TAG DAY (Toronto Globe) Jack Miner's feathered guests sometimes go far afield. A duck bearing one of his sanctuary tags, attached in 1917, was killed re- cently in Michigan, No doubt, dur- ing the last decade, between visits to its friend at Kingsville, this bird had covered vast distances "on the wing"'--and every day was tag day. CANDIDATES FOR THE MINIS. TRY (Galt Reporter) The reason for the very serious shortage of ministers and students in the theological colleges, report- ed at the annual meeting of the Presbyterian Synod of Hamilton and London, is not very apparent despite the unquestionable attrac- tion of modern business for young men who are making choice of ca- reers.. That the shortage is really serious and that it probably is felt also in other denominations there is little room for doubt, The cause is rendered still more obscure by the fact that the churches appear today to be in closer relationship with the young people graduating from the Sunday schools than ever they were before. TEACH THEM TO SWIM (From the Hamilton Herald) A boy of 16 years of age went out in a canoe' with two chums ot the same age and in changing seats he fell out of the canoe and being unable to swim was drowned. The other two, who swam well, dived for him but were unsuccessful, and when the body was found subse- quently it was too late. It is too 'bad that parents will not require their children to learn to swim. Not merely to bathe, but to become at home in the water so that un- der any ordinary circumstances they can take care of themselves. It would almost be advisable to make it compulsory for all boys and girls attending school to learn to swim as part of the curriculum, but failing this parents have a def- inite responsibility in the matter.

Copeland, of Harvard University, who points uut that advertising not only stimu- lates buying, but acts as stabilizing influence on certain industries; That newspapers, the Edmonton Journal comments, are the best medium through which advertis- ers may reach ultimate, custemers, is shown by the amounts spent in the states in the year under review for each class of advertising.

DARK LILY . ~~ By Flos Jewell Williams Come Death, Dark Litly, and let me Not loving heart encom- sup, The bitter-sweet nectar I taste on thy cup. I have lived to the full my share of ife, Known something of loving, some- thing of strife, Been the mother of children, a good man's wife. Come, Death, Dark Lily, my time is" up.

One Billion, five hundred mil- E. Lansing Ray, Publisher of the St. Louis Globe-Demo- crat, says: "Did you ever stop to think of the close relationship which is de- veloped between a newspaper and its readers? "Can you, for instance, name any other public-service institution which enjoys such an intimate re- lationship with the public whicn it serves? 3 "Into the heart of the home goes the newspaper as a regu- lar visitor and friend---to in- form, to advise, to guide. In- to offices and into factories it goes--to carry the information upon which business depeneos " for its planinng. "Nor is this service which binds the newspaper to its readers con- fined solely to its news and edi- torial columns, Through the mess- ages of the advertisers, it keeps its public informed as to the newest and best merchandise and service available in the markets of the world, It makes people more vine cient, makes dollars stretch far- ther, makes modern life more eu- joyable, "And then did you ever stop to think what this close con- tact, thus made possible pes tween the newspaper and its community, means to the man who uses advertising to reacn and to sell to many markets? '"Advertisers have stopped to think of it. And they have come to realize that, from the newspap- ers themselves, close to the thought and the pulse of their readers, they can secure sincere co-opera- tion in planning their sales cam- paigns. "Through honest analysis of the community markets <~ which they serve, newspapers are helping guide advertisers to efficient and produc- tive effort. "And thus are communities being served, through the sound building of business within their borders." SOVEREIGNS NO Oshawa Branch: 23 Simcoe St. North Oshawa 1929 -- Boy Prefers Shilling London, June 26.--Sovercigns arc under suspicion, They are just as shiny and golden as ever, but nobody loves them now, Thousands of young peaple have ne- ver seen onc, Not long ago a sovereign was the most popular thing for its size in the kingdom. Today it is hard to ob- tain a sovereign in London. But it is" ten times harder to get rid of it once you have got it. ; To see how London in 1929 would react' to a sovereign I walked through the doors of the Bank of England determined to get onc or dic 'in the attempt, writes a corres- pondent, Officials in gold-trinimed three- cornered hats pointed down winding corridors to the sovereign department, "A sovereign!" exclaimed the man behind the counter aghast, as if the Bank Rate had dropped with a thud. He beckoned with a trembling hand to another official, who looked like a deputy-governor at least. "This gentleman," he said in awed tones, "wants a sovereign!" The other official started, then re- covered himself, "What do you want it for?" he asked sternly, wondering, perhaps if I intended to start a little coining business with it, "I'm told that one is very useful on a holiday on the Continent," 1 said humbly. The official walked through a door and came back with a sovereign, which he exchanged for a note. "There you are," he said, in a tone which indicated that such a thing must not occur agamn. Sovereign Tested The first person to be tested with the sovereign was a pretty young typist. "What is it?" she asked. "What does it look like." "Well," she said, "it looks like a nicely spring-cleaned half penny." Next it was shown to a London messenger boy who was told it was a sovereign, "It's worth 20 shillings.' He sniffed. "Or 240 pennies." He sniggered. "Here's a shilling. Which of the two would .you like?" He considered for a moment; then, thinking that safety first was best, he took the shilling. Finally. a business-like young wom- an in a restaurant cash desk. took it, inspected both sides, looked at the date, looked twice at the customer, consulted her co-cashier--and accepts ed it. She flung it carelessly into the cash-hox--the most distiriguished vis itor that the other coins had seen for years. "The last time sovereigns were coined in London was in 1925," said a well-known banking authority, "In that year about 3,500,000 'were minted but prior to that there had pon_heen any issued in London since SETTLERS FOR NEW BRUNS.

SAVINGS _ Health and Housijig Contributed by The Local Service Council of Canada LACK OF SUNLIGHT The value of sunshine in the promotion of health and the pre- vention of diseases cannot be put too high. It has been known from time immemorial. Within compar- atively recent years, scientists have shown that the value of sunshine is due to the ultra-violet rays. Sunshine prevents and cures rickets, bone tuberculosis ana anaemia. It is useful in the treat- ment of certain forms of rheuma- tism, chronic wounds, some chronic nervous diseases, debility and mal- nutrition in children. Sunshine acts beneficially on the skin, the muscles, the blood, the glands and the bones, It is a general tonic and blood builder, it develops und strengthens the body and increases the resistance to disease. It in- creases the red blood corpuscles and the haemoglobin, It stimu- lates and strengthens the nervous system, increases the feeling of well-being, helps to maintain the morals and promotes the proper function of all body organs, Children must have sunlight or they become puny and weak. Therefore, sunshine, containing the health-giving ultra-violet rays, should find its way into every room of a dwelling-house, certain- ly into the living rooms, bedrooms and kitchens. Windows should be properly placed to receive the greatest amount of sunshine. in dark or alcove rooms, in dark cell- ars or halls, the marvellous, health-conferring and . health-re- storing sun, the powerful force that kills and atteuates germs, that invigorates the whole body, is ex- cluded to the great disadvantage of the dwellers therein, five families coming to New Bruns- wick this year under the tri-partite scheme the Government of New Brunswick has in operation with the Federal and Imperial Governments included twenty children, making six the average membership of the famil- ies.

Dark houses are difficult to keep clean and invite vermin.
