- THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, JULY 9, 1929 by C. H. TUCK, Opt.D. (Copyright 1928) " The Relation of Defective Eyes to Health Many children may be considered dull, being the very contradiction to brightness, due to a physical handi- cap, in many cases easily remedied The value of good vision can never be over estimated. Memory is almost entirely a gal- lery of stored photographs made by the eyes, therefore, much of our knowledge is gained by storing up facts made possible by sight. Jt follows, therefore, that the great- ar portion of the knowledge gained by the child is through the eyes. If the eyes are defective, the child is very seriously handicapped both in the acquirement of knowledge and in the development of memeory. It is indeed surprising to note that even in this * enlightened age some children are found to be using glasses given fhem at home with no exam- ination, This indiscriminate and careless treatment of eyes in the for- mative stages can have only one ef- fect and we are pleased to know that they do not exist for long without being discovered. This drain on the energy both physical and mental, is being taken care of and is on the decrease with the ever increasing publicity and knowledge available to the public, : (To be continued next week) SILENCE Silence, the lone mustang Who traces thunder, Calls on space to give him * Voice for his wonder, Deep and deeper ever Into night he goes. Yet, from his still breathing Drops a gold rose, . His hoofs of flint Hammer rocks sealed and dumb, - Open the veins Whence mighty rivers come. --Laura Bent, in "Noah's Dove."

FOREIGN REMINDER Province Determined Maintain Empire's Position to St, Thomas, July 9.---Ontario's provincial highways next autumn will cease to bear that prosaic des- {gnation,and under projected pro- vincial legislation will become of- ficially known as "The King's Highway." This announcement featured the address of Premier Hon. G. How- ard Ferguson here last night at the fourth annual convention ban- quet of the Canadian legion: "I have not sald this in cabinet yet," said the prime minister, and I want you to keep it in strict con- fidence. "When we meet in the legislature next year the govern- ment proposes to introduce an act to change the mame of the pro- vincial highways to the King's highway as a mark of our fealty to and as an evidence of our re- spect for . His Majesty and the monarchical system .around which our people rally. "Those who may come to us from other shores will be told every mile they travel that there fs a king at the héad of this country and that we are deter- mined to maintain the empire's position in the world that she may go on for all time doing good for humanity the world over." Premier Ferguson struck the keynote of the convention at which nearly a thousand veterans interspersed with serious business war songs reminiscent. of the crucial days from 1914 to 1918, Carry High the Torch "Ig it not desirable to bend your efforts in time of peace to carry high the torch the men of Flanders threw to you and us?' asked the prime minister. "That spirit is strong and active everywhere. Where I have to do with the gov- ernment I have always striven to permeates hte lives of our children with this idea of empire unity and service. The type and spirit of the Britisher lives in no other country in the world. His love of freedom and justice are what have given to Britain her leadership and she will continue to lead. Why, it is inbred in the beggars over there, 1 often wish it could be more strong- I. | LL 18 Stmeoe treet, Sout ANNIVERSARY BALE Men's Fancy' Silk Socks 29¢ I.

The address of Hon. J. C. Elliott, K.C., representing Premier King and the Federal government, was featured by an assurance that no veteran need fear that any just claim on the government for either pension or. hospitalization will be outlawed by any time limit, An avalanche of applause greet- ed Sir Arthur Currie as he was introduced by Lt-Col. F. J. Pick- ing, V.D., of St.Thomas. The former commander of the Canadian expeditionary force de- clared that during the past year he has motored much, Europe and the United States, To attend the convention he drove from Mont- real, first to his old home, over to Strathroy, and today on to St. Thomas. Not the least of the achievement of the Ferguson government, he said, ig the magnificent system of provincial road soon to be named the King's highway.

No Thought of Failure "When we planned an attack," he said. "we first decided what the objective should be. Fear or fail- ure was never: thought of--today in' convention, - we must be just as clear and decisive in what we intend to do and how we intend to carry 'it out." : . General Currie called for a vast organization of British veterans, one in heart and hope throughout the Empire, determined-to main- tain the friendships of the old war days. "We must teach our country to think nationally without sacrific- ing any of our love of our local communities," he said. "Our second great interest," he continued, "is the care of our less fortunate comrades and of the de- pendents of those who did not re- turn, You may say, surely ten years after, such an objective can- not exist, but you and I know ft does exist. From this objective there can be no retreat and in it we carry the whole-hearted sup- port of the whole Canadian people. "Our third great effort must be for the umity of the empire. In the cause of freedom and justice we were proud to serve with other units of the empire. That need did not vanish with the war. There is still a call for hands across the sea, If we foster those things we shall make our contribution to solidify the parts on which the em- pire is built, Gentler Wind Blowing "There are some who think our organization stands for militarism, but we know the practical experi- ence of war, its heartaches and its horrors. "I believe there is a gentler wind blowing through the world today and that nations are more disposed for peace and arbitration. The cry for peace and reduction of arinaments goes up from sore hearts and we of the Canadian Legion can help with strong and sympathetic support. , "Unless we do we cannot Keep faith with comrades who gave their lives that this thing we call justice shall not vanish from the earth.

INTO RAVINE Uncle of Conservative Lead- er in Saskatchewan Meets Instant Death Toronto, July 9~George Albert Anderson, member of a pioneer fam- ily .of Fairbank, and uncle of Dr. J. T. M. Anderson, Leader of the Con- servative Party in Saskatchewan, was almost instantly killed yesterday af- ternoon on his farm at Downsview, near Fairbank, in an unusual motor accident, when the car upon which he was riding on the running-board plunged over a 50-foot embankment. Two others, Richard ("Dick)" San- dles, of 62 Sterling Road and fore- man mechanic of Rowntrees Ltd, chocolate manufacturers, and David Davidson, disabled war veteran, of 60 Sterling Road, were but slightly injeered. Sandles, who was driving the car, when seen last night would not talk at first, but kept repeating: "My old friend--he's gone now." He blam- es the condition of the road at the Anderson farm for the accident. He only remembers the rear wheel sinking and the car overturning and dropping. After being taken to his home following the accident, Sandles was treated by Dr. D. W. Davis, 1051 College street, who found nothing worse than a lacerated hand. David- son, his friend, who lives next door, is suffering from shock. It appears that Sandles and David- son were motoring home from a fish- ing trip. They dropped in at Ander- son's farm to show him their catch. He had often accompanied them on' such trips. At the time of their ar- rival he was at the west end of his farm, which flanks Kelle street. They drove their car, a roadster, half a mile down a road through the farm and met him in a field which rums into a deep ravine, Anderson mounted the running- board of the car, As Sandles started to turn, the car ran too near the edge of the ravine. Then it crashed through the long grass and under- brush and fell into the gully, a dis- tance of 50 feet. Anderson was crushed by the car as it' fell and almost instantly killed, AUTONOTIVE HEADS T0 GIVE EVIDENCE Will Appear Before Senate Committee Regarding Duty on Motor Cars Washington, D.C, July 9.--Four automotive magnates, or their official representatives are to appear Thurs- ay before a senate finance sub-com- mittee to testify on the tariff sched- ules on automobiles. _Alvin Macauley, president of the National © Automobile ' Chamber of Commerce, yesterday notified, Sena- tor Reed, Republican, Pennsylvania, chairman of the sub committee, that KARN THE DRUGGIST FOR SERVICE the four automobile manufacturers re. quested to appear would be present or would send official representatives The men requested to appear arc Henry Ford, Alfred P.
