The announcement states that the working drawings for the new fac- tory, to be located on Simcoe' Strect Sauth, are now being prepared by the architect, and that within a short time a call will be made for tenders. The building, it is noted, is to be a substantial structure, measuring 128 fect by 360 feet, of steel frame and brick construction. " There are always those people in a community who arc doubting Thomasses when reports of: in- dustrial expansion arc made, but this afinogncément should convince the people of Oshawa that if the Skinner Company Oshawa is to sccure a real 'assct. 1t is of the utmost importance, too, that this building is to be ecfected on the property on Simcoe Street South which has such great possibilities for develop- ment as an industrial area. Substantial industries attract others to the same place as they have located, and it is more than likely that the erection of the Skinner, plant will 'be but the beginning of the development of a busy and growing industrial arca in the south end of Oshawa. CONGRATULATING A NATIVE SON The town council of Whitby, in sending a message of congratulation to Lord Greenwood on his cleva- tion to the barony, is showing a timely recognition of the honor which has been given to one of the town's native sons. Born in Whitby, Lord Green- wood has had a remarkable career, and has made a great contribution to' the political life of Great Britain, It is as Sir Hamar Greenwood, former chief secre- tary for Ireland, that this son of Whitby will be best remembered. In that task he was the last man to hold the office which became 'extinct on the creation of the Irish Free State. He had difficult dutics, for at that time Ireland was in a state bordering on civil war, with contending factions fighting bitterly against 'each other. It required a strong man to handle the position, and Sir Hamar Greenwood showed himself to be just that kind of a man. It has been suggested that he was created a baron as consolation for giving up his seat in parliament to another Conservative candidate. While there may be some slight measure of truth in that suggestion the people of his native town prefer to look upon his elevation to high rank as a distinction which is well nierited by the services which he rendered to the motherland and to the Empire as a whole, Whitby has every rcason to be proud of Baron Greenwood, and the message sent by the town council to him cabries with it the sincere greetings of all his fellow-townsmen, And it is more than likely that, in the midst of a throng of similar messages, that {from "the towh in which he was born will be most highly "valued by the new baron. THE END NOT YET Reports from many parts of Ontario indicate that the recent holiday saw the highways blocked by the great pressure of traffic. One report states that there, was a solid jam of traffic for twenty-two miles from Beamsville to Hamilton: In the town of Grimsby, pedestrians had to wait for as long as half an hour before they could. cross the street through the long line of passing cars. 'Even in the Oshawa district, there was a long con- tinuous stream of cars passing to and fro along the Jhighway, to such an extent that the signal system fat the®corner of King and 'Simcde Streets was in- adequate to cope with the situation, and a traffic officer had to take charge of the situation, It may be said, of course, that the holiday ercated an abnormal traffic situation, but the fact remains that automobile traffic is ever on the increase, This year, it is estimated to be 25 per cent greater than it was last ycar, and there is no telling what it will be. five years from now if this increase continues, as dt is likely to do. "The lesson of this is that the program of highway construction for the province of Ontario is far from being completed. There are certain' sections of the provincial highway system which are constantly con- gested, and which must be relieved by the designa- "tion of new roads parallel to old ones. That is par- ticularly true of the road from Hamilton to Toronto, and that frome Toronto to Oshawd.

COMMON.-SENSE JUSTICE Attorney-General' 'Price is 'apparently determined to have common-sense methods of law enforcement prevailing in 'the courts of Ontario. In a memoran- dum which hg has addressed to grown officials throughout theprovince, he lays great stress on the new method which he has decided to adopt in cascs of juvenile delinquency, domestic troubles and first offences, Under the old imethods. of dispencing justice and enfércing the laws, there was a stfong tendency to exact the full penalty provided, to follow the prin- ciple of "An eye for an eye, a tooth fof a tooth," regardless of the cffcet of the penalty on the future life of the prisoner at the bar, The law prescribed certain sentences for certain offences, and these sen- tenges became the means by which offenders were made to feel the force of the law. Saner principles pervade the memorandum of Mr. Price.. The keynote of it is found in the Injunction that "The keeping of a family together is probably more important than the exaction of the pound of flesh in meting out full punishment to the offender." This is a new theory that is being put into prac- tice, 'and it is to be hoped that the effort of the at- torney-general to have common-sense mixed with law will be given the co-operation ofrall authorities, On the local officials, after all; rests the responsibility of putting these theories into effect, and it is only as they seek to apply ina practical manner the principle of the second chance, the principle that the future career of accused persons is just as important as the satisfying of the inexorable law, can the attorncy- general's new system be. given a thorough trial, HINTS FOR SWIMMERS AND NON- _ SWIMMERS The score of drowning fatalities of the Dominion' Day week end have emphasized the need of greater care on the part of those who arc spending their vacation hours on the water, Both swimmers and non-swimmers need to pay heed to the repeated warnings that have been issued, and in this connec- tion, the following suggestions made by the Ontario Safety Leaglie arc well worth notice at this time of the year: 1. Learn- the prone pressure method of resus- citatiom . 2. Bathe in protected areas only. nt 3. If you havc heart trouble do not goin swim- ming. ' 4, Wait two hours after. cating. before going into the water. : 5. When diving make sure the water is deep enough to* ensure safety. : 6. Do not bathe gr swim alone. It is safer to have companions with, you in case of ai accidént. 7. Unless you can swim, unless you can keep a cool head--stay out of a canoe, 8. After starting, do not change seats and do not stand up, in cither canoe or rowboat, 9. If you have a passenger who want to "rock the boat," put him ashore. 2 10. You take a "fool's chance" if you ride the waves of a steamboat. The chance-taker.is the accident-maker, 11, If upset, lay your hands on the canoe or paddle; either will keep you afloat until help ar- rives, . 12. Do not attempt to usc a canoe or rowboat in rough water, SELF-SACRIFICING HEROISM In these modern days, when charges of selfishness and self-centred thoughtlessness are continually be- ing levelled against humanity, it is refreshing to read the splendid story of -self-sacrificing heroism with which a Kingston man recently gave his life in an effort to save that of a four year old child, This young man, Fred Denyes, saw a child men- aced with death from an approaching automobile. Without considering the consequences to himself, he leaped in front of the car, saved the child from the impending death, but, in doing so, received fatal injuries, There is some thing magnificent in an incident of this kind. It shows that the age-old spirit of self- sacrifice is not dead, that when occasion arises there are still men who arc willing and ready to give their lives in order to save others. Below the surface of material things, there still are those qualitics of soul which have 'elevated mankind above the level of the mere beasts, And incidents like that recorded above are constant reminders that there are still 'those people in the world who arg worthy of the words of the Master of Men:-- "Greater Love Hath no Man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friend." EDITORIAL NOTES It feels as if Junc and July must have got their signals twisted. The Dominion Day holiday cxonerated Canadians of the charge of being flag-wavers, What a wonderful city Peterboro would be if all those old boys and girls had stayed at home. Canadian newspapermen visiting Berlin gave three cheers for their hosts on departing, Time does work wonders, It is a sad reflection on modern. civilization when $0 many people are butchered to make a Dominion Day holiday, § Joe Wright is once again demonstrating that Can- ada can still produce men who can hold their own with the best in the world. The crowd at Smith's Falls last Monday showed that politics cannot hope to compete with bascball and horse-racing, Ice went out of the Fort Churchill Harbor last week. About that time, some of it would have been welcome in the Oshawa harbor, A motor trip on the highways on a heliday, how- ever, makes one surprised that the number of acci- dents is not ten times as great as it is. Police Magistrate Jelfs, of Hamilton, is being re- tired from office, at the age of 76 years. The fact that he is protesting strongly against resigning proves that there is sood stuff in some of these old Fellows. ominion Day. - der off your face. Other Editor's ~~ Comments |, ERESGRTION{ .

Barton, M.D. EMOTIONS AND PTOMAINE POISONING Perhaps you have had what is called an attack of ptomaine poison- ing with nausea, vomiting, and in- tense pain' in abdomen, Yo ry to remember just what you have eaten the previous twenty loss to decide just what food or foods might have caused the trouble, Now in the majority of cases it is often some article of food that has caused the symptoms, but quite often it is you yourself, your condi- tion of mind or body that is respon- sible, You ate the food at a time when Your condition of mind or body was not in shape to take care of it, and the food remained undigested for many hours, You will remember that the sight, taste, and smell of food excites the digestive juices in the mouth, in the stomach, and in the pancreas. This is what is called brain diges- tion because it is the eyes, the mouth, and the nose, that start the digestive juices flowing. This is sometimes called appetite Juice. Now in the same manner these Juices can be affected by worry, tired- ness, fright, anger or other depress- ing emotion, and the juices are pre- vented from flowing properly. And the unfortunate part about it is that even if you are worried, tired, or depressed, your body needs food Just the same. So if you eat food when in this condition it may remain undigested and cause distress; and if you don't eat you will get weak. What should be done? You should try to rest for a few minutes before eating. Lying on the right side is best. Don't eat if you are very tired. Rest first. Try to eat the articles of food that you like, that are easily digested, spread your meals well apart, so that the previous meal will be well out of the stomach before you eat again. If you follow these simple rules you'll find that you will have fewer attacks of "ptomaine" with its ac- companying pain and intestinal dis tress.

A SAFE PLACE FOR SAVINGS Canadian Newspaper Men Visit the Battlefields A. R. Kennedy, Editor of the Stratford Beacon-Her- ald, Tells of the Many Evidences of War Still to be Seen--Canadian Memorial a Thing of Beauty On the way from Paris to Vimy Ridge, June 16--~Out near Chantilly we sce the poppies. We are on the way to the battlefields, and I see now why Col. John McCrae wrote, "In Flander Fields the Poppies Grow," They are in evidence in the pas- toral scene of France. Along the roadside they grow; they make their appearance in the grain ficlds, and as the peasant stoops with his short. handled hoe he seeks to rid his place of them, We stop at Amiens for coffee or light wines, and allow me to explain here that visitors .in France do not drink much of the water, Those who live here use it to some extent, per haps becausc they become used to it. But the red and white wines are the common drink. Often have wished 1 could' be in Stratford for a few minutes, Then 1 would fill a pail and drink like a horse. Amiens was not under shell fire for any great length of time, It was here that many of the Canadians used. to come on their leave of ab- sence. We spend little time here, The coffee is old and muddy and the wines arc almost twice the regu- lar price. Then on to Albert, passing the dis trict of the Somme. At Albert we stop before the Basilica of: Notre Dame. On top of the original build- ing was a statute of the Virgin, which toppled to an alarming degree under German shell fire. French tradition is that when the Virgin fell the war would be over a pro- phecy which was not fulfilled, for the statute did topple over and crash to the ground some months before the end of the war. For four ycars Albert was under fire, and so com- plete was the destruction that it was impossible to rebuild on previous lines. As we go on we pass Courcelette on the left, and in this country more than in Paris, one sces the name "Estaminet" on many of the little places of entertainment. Perhaps some of the ex-service men may wonder what has become of their old army hut, built with the semi-circular roof of metal. At one place I saw two very contented cows looking out as our bus went by, Many places they are used for sheds on the farm lands, In the small gar- dens they make the: fences. The French peasant has been encouraged to take away the sheets and in a very ingenious manner. has 'he turne ed the article of war to the pursuance of his peace-time vocation. _. Evidence of War Nearing Arras I' sec great gaping holes in walls: that have not been rebuilt, © gruesome evidence of the {manner jn -which destruction stalked through the country in war years, It was at Arras, the guide informs me, that Canadians were billeted many times, We stop at the Hotel de I'Universe at two, and have to take a chance with a crowd of some 200 ahead who are there to celebrate a wedding, On the main street there are a few places where no rebuilding has been done. Shattered walls and naked timbers remain. A bell that rings continuously attracts the people to continuously attracts thc people to the afternoon cinema. Strutting past with fez and flowing red and white robes is a member of Sultan of Morocco's bodyguard, Resplendent indeed, and the guide assures me he has not to go running around on foot with all this raiment, as he rides a horse, Again we go on. Trees all along the sides of the road are new, strive ing for size. The reason is that there were no trees left after the war. Here and there a few great wound- ed looking things remain, Shall we ass now to the point where we turn in to the Canadian battle-ground on Vimy Ridge. It is, indeed, in a com= manding point, higher than all the ground around it. The day is clear and we look down upon Neuville St. Vaast, St, Laurent, Carency. This is Canadian soil as much as the place where Stratford is built, because the government of France presented it to Canada, 240 acres in all. It used to be an experimental farm, as level as land could be. Even today, almost. 11 years after the war, it is pitted with shell holes and craters. We turn to the left and the guide asks if I would care to go first into the trenches and underground work- ings of the German lines. I hope I can describe this so that those who have never been here can under- stand. The land is chalky in forma- tion and permits of digging without the danger of caving in. Let us go down stairs, perhaps fifty or sixty steps, rather'steep and somewhat slippery with mud from recent' rains. Coming to the bottom,' we walk some distance along the tunnel; on the sides places are dug. out for powder rooms, ete. The German helmet rusts here and there, We 'emerge presently, and walk a remarkably short distance to the en- trance of the greatest piece of un- derground work on this or any ether front, the Grange tunnel. Once more we go down many steps, and then we come to the place where many Canadians must know far better than myself, who have paid only a hurried visit to the place. Here are the of ficers' quarters at the end of this tun nel, and here are the original beds carved out by men in their spare time. At another place I sce many names, "either carved or written in indelible pencil. One young man an- nounces that on a certain date in 1917 he was "still alive and kicking." Another has inscribed a little space to those who remain of the Princess Pats. 1 looked for the names of any [ might know by battalion or name, but in the rather dim light of rather sparsely distributed electric light bulbs my quest was in vain. Here it was that during a heavy bombard- ment refuge was found, and nearby was one of the greatest perform- ances of the war, when the Canadians undermined the German front line trenches and blew them up. In, all in Grange tunnel there are over two miles of underground passages. One of the attendants assured me that the list of unknown dead was being reduced. Farmers working in the elds close by are finding re- mains yet as they work and through the identification discs at least fifty per cent, success is being met, Out in No-Man's Land It is no use trying to tell an ex- service man what No-man's Land looked like. There are places be- tween the Canadian front line trenches and those of the Germans where a person could quite easily throw a brick across. The spaces at some places could not have been more than 30 yards or so. Today there are bunches of rusted wire there. The guide drew attention to one place where the old accordion wire had been used. "Get tangled up in that and see what will become of you," he explained. I have forgotten one thing, Deep down in that Grange tunnel is a Ger- man shell with its nose through the wall. Fortunately it did not explode. Along the trenches machine guns rust at the protected port-holes, oll boots show the sign of wear and weather, the little canteen can has long since passed the time when it could carry away anything, Nothing is taken away, although on many days there arc from seven to ten thousand people there. Near-by, but a short distance north is the site of the Canadian war me- morial, now in the process of con- struction, What a site! What a site! If France had been fine-combed and searched it could not have produced anything more wonderful. Standing there one looks away across the farm lands to the city of Lens. The day is clear and 45 miles away arc seen the hills of Belgium. ~ A panorama of rare beauty aon an elevation that is historic and precious to Canada, there will be completed a monument of whch the Dominion can well be Montreal, Quebec, is a city © nearly a million people.
