TUESDAY, AUGUST 6, 1929 THE SEWAGE DISPOSAL PLANT The board of health has recommended to the city council that a sewage disposal plant be constructed for this city, and it has been intimated that the provincial department of health is anxious to use the Oshawa situation as a means of experimenting with some new types and methods of equipping a plant of this kind, It may be true that the eity is in dire need of some system for efficient disposal of sewage, and that the. activated sludge plant method is the most effective known to modern heglth authorities. But there is nced for a very thorough study 'of the whole situation before any definite decision is reached, The civic authorities 'of Oshawa should be very wary of allowing the provincial department of health to use Oshawa as the location of a new experiment, at the city's expense, of sewage disposal methods. : There have been other cities in Ontario where the same thing has been done, A certain western On- tario city, for instance, had the honor of being the first to have an activated sludge plant installed. But it was an honor which has cost the city dearly, The provincial department of health used that plant as an experimental field, In that plant, all the mistakes and faults of that type of system were found out, and the department acquired a great deal of valu- able information as to necessary changes before the plant was found satisfactory. It was a splendid thing for other cities which in- stalled plants later, because they had the benefit of the experiment. But 'the experiment was made at the expense of the city, which paid for the mis- takes that had been made, and paid thousands of dollars for putting them right. The disposal of the sludge in sludge beds was one other problem on which experiments were made, and that city is still paying for the mistakes made in that experi- ment, and, in addition, has not yet a satisfactory experiment, This experience is cited not as a means of dis- gouraging the installation in Oshawa of a modern method of sewage disposal. But it is given as a warning against allowing the provineial board of health using an Oshawa plant as an experimental station to be conducted at the expense of the citi- zens of Oshawa. This is an important matter, and it is likely to be an expensive one, so that the ex- perimenting should be done first before any risks are taken with new ideas and methods. WILL THERE BE A PROVINCIAL ELECTION? The Toronto newspapers, in the last few days, fave been hinting, very strongly, at the possibility of a general provincial election this fall. One news- paper went so far as to state that the date had been fixed for October 28 to October 31. So far, however, Prémier Ferguson, leader of the government parly in Ontario, has chosen to keep his own counsel, an to keep the public entirely in the dark as to his intentions. Why there should be any necessity for an election this fall {s hard for the average man to understand. There is no outstanding issue at the present time to force an election, much as some of the opposition leaders would like to raise issues. There is no rea- gon why the government should not complete its legal term of office before exposing the province 10 the disturbing influences of an election campaign. These considerations, however, will figure very little in the making of Premier Ferguson's decision. He is a shrewd politician, with his eye on the poli- tical situation first, last and always, and with his finger on the political pulse of the people. He will issue the call for an election when he thinks the time i8 ripe for the success of his own party, and not until that time. So the political prophets might as well sit back and wait until he is ready to make the announcement which they are trying so hard to make for him, A DESERVED HONOR N There are times when titles, such as peerages and knighthoods, are bestowed on men who have rather doubtfu! qualifications for the honor. This, how- ever, cannot be So#l of the honor which has been given to Sir Robert Baden-Powell, chief of the Boy Scouts of the world, in the conferring of a peerage on him by King George. It was fitting, too, that this honor should have been announced at the time of the great gathering, in England, of 50,000 scouts representing 'alt the countries in the world where the movement has taken root. In his day, Baron Baden-Powell has been a great soldier, In the South African War, his qualities of organization and leadership were seen to a marked and valuable degree. His name will go down into iki THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, AUGUST 6, 1925 history, however, more as the organizer and builder of the Boy Scout movement, rather than as'a mili- tary leader. In that movement, he has organized the boys of practically the world into a body which has for its vital principles the highest ideals of man- hood and citizenship, - : In the Boy Scout movement, there is a foundation for character and self-reliant citizenship that can hardly be found anywhere else. This was given re cognition a few days ago at the Oshawa Rotary Club when the Rev. 8, C. Jarrett, judge of the local juve- nile eourt, said that in every case of a delinquent boy, he made every effort to link that boy up with the Boy Scouts, as a means of giving him the proper type of leadership, and bringing him into touch with the kind of influences which would help him to overcome the handicaps which made him a de- linquent. This is the kind of werk to which Baron Baden-Powell has given years of his life, and his elevation to the peerage is a royal recognition of what that life-work has meant to the boyhood of thé British Empire, and of many other countries as well, RECOGNIZING THE SOVIET As éach week passes, it is being demonstrated that the people of Great Britain ,need have no fear for the type of government to be givén them by the administration of Ramsay MacDonald, This has been shown, particularly, in the developments that haye taken place in connection with the recogni- tion of the government of Soviet Russia by that of Great Britain. It was, admittedly, a part of the Labor policy, to recognize the Soviet, and there were many who feared that the Laborites would rush fato this thing in a headlong way. Events, however, have proven that the Labor gov- ernment was not prepared to barter away its rights without due consideration. Recognition of the Soviet was proposed, but only on certain conditions, Ar- thur Henderson, the Labor foreign minister, has shown that he is not prepared to extend the hand of friendship, to Russia unless that country will agree to the terms laid down. And the result is that the Soviet representatives have been given a rude awakening. There is complete justice in the conditions which have been imposed by the Labor government before the Soviet government will be recognized. The questions of war debts and propaganda have always been stumbling-blocks in the way of complete un. derstanding between Russia and Britain. The pro- paganda activities of the Soviet agents were re- sponsible for the breaking of relations, and appar- ently the Russian government thought that these relations could be renewed without any undertaking to refrain from these activities. It is a pleasant surprise for the British people to find that its present government, while sympathetic to Russia, has no intention of allowing propaganda to be resumed, and also that it intends to make a stand regarding the payment of the debts of the former Russian regime, debts which have been dis: owned by the Soviet. There is much to be said and done before Russia can comply with the require- ments of the Labor government, and time will show that there is not so much to be feared from the new administration as the people were led to be- lieve by the other parties during the election cam- paign, ; THE VESTRIS INVESTIGATION Newspaper readers will recall how, at the time of the sinking of the steamship Vestris, with the loss of scores of lives, the authorities in New York, stated a probe which was more spectacular than effective. Taking advantage of the first rush of emo- tion, the investigators there allowed all kinds of wild statements to be rushed into print, condémn ing everybody and everything at raffiom as having some responsibility for the disaster. Then the mat. ter was suddenly dropped, without any finding being given out, and without any 'tangible results. At that time, there were demands for an imme: diate and searching investigation by the British gov. ernmental department concerned. That investiga- tion was not immediate, but it was searching. The British board of trade waited until more settled minds and calmer judgment could be brought to bear on the matter; then it investigated. The result of that investigation has been announced, with de- finite findings as to the responsibility for the dis. aster. While the sensational New York inquiry was a flamboyant but fruitless affair, the British investi- gation, made in a leisurely but thorough manner, fairly and squarely placed the blame for the tragedy, showing that the Vestris had heen overloaded, and that the New York agents of the veshel were respon- sible for this fact. This may have been the reason, although one would hesitate to suggest it, why the New York in- vestigation was dropped as suddenly as it started; ° without any definite statement as to responsibility. But the difference between the two investigations shows that tle British method of moving slowly and quietly, hut nevertheless surely, has decided advant- ages over the New York method of sensational charg- es and countercharges made in the heat of the emotion which is the natural condition at the time of a tragedy such as this.

Red Day must have been very disappointing to the Communists of Canada. This is not the kind of country in which their doctrines will flourish. It is reported in Toronto that a U, S. tourist asked to be shown the King's palace. A guide was prob- ably detailed to exhibit the Royal York. If conditions do not change in a hurry, the West. ern provinces wil! be asking that the old weather man be asked fo reconsider his resignation. If the Communist meetings in Toronto are as tame as the onc held here last night, it is hard to under- stand why the police there find it necessary to interfere. Other Editor's | Comments A FARMER AND HIS FLOWERS (Hank in the St. Thomas Times- Journal ) City folks who think they have fine |' gardens and just about the last word in super bloom are advised to look to their laurels this year, Qur good friend, Bill Dufty, is in the competi- tive field--and he doesn't mean per- adventure either, The other day a huge bouquet of sweet peas came to our domicile--which is just a high- toned name for house. The bouquet came with the comps. of Bill Dufty. We backed the automotive expense out of the garage the next day and gasolined down to see Bill, Bill lives just northwest of Union, over thz bridge and up the hill from the golf course, Bill farms--and he also grows flowers. : Driving up the lane to Bill's domi- cile a field of mighty fine corn rust- led to the right of us. We've seen a few dozen corn fields hither and thi- ther this summer, but nonc better nor cleaner than that field of Bill Dufty's, We reached the house and spotted Bill's sweet peas. He has three long trellises covered with 'em this year, more than the average nurseryman plants, "What's the idea of so many swect eas?" we asked Bill, "Oh, I like them, so I thought I'd plant a pretty good lot this year," he responded. We followed Bill down the garden path. On our left was a young ficld of snapdragons, just coming into bloom. Bill imported the seed from Scotland. On our right was another young field of asters, also produced from the pick of the seéd market. "Come with me, I want to show you something else," Bill invited, starting down through the barnyard. We climbed over a fence into a big patch of potatoes that should run a couple of hundred bushels to the acre; brushed through another patch of extra fine corn and came to end of the field. "There's my dalhia scedlings," Bill said, pointing to row after row of dahlia plants, many of them already budded, There must be nearly half an acre of dahlias raised from seed mn that field, They're planted like the corn and cultivated like the corn, "No trouble at all taking care of them," Bill explained. "Those dah- lias fit right in with my general farm work." We admire and respect Bill Dufty, not only because of his horticultural activities, but because he had the courage to make growing flowers his hobby. A lot of men who aren't near- ly as good farmers as Bill Dufty wouldn't think of doing such a thing on the contention that a farmer has no time for such things. Bill Dufty has, and we don't see any of his farm crops suffering from lack of cultiva- tion, either, \We only wish there were more farmers like Bill Dufty in Elgin county, a ----r------ - Bits of Humor - HE'S AN AVERAGE CITIZEN Is a man who wears last year's hat, drives this year's car and lives on next year's income a Progressive, Conservative or Liberal? --English Magazine, DON'T STEAL THAT KIND "Why are you in prison, my good man?"

Barton, M.D. RESTLESS CHILDREN When you see a youngster misbe- having in public to the embarrass- ment of the parents, you wonder whether it is the child or the par- ents that need guiding, Investigation would often show that the youngster's antics are not due to the fact that the parents have "spared the rod and spoiled the child." . "The youngster is often of a high strung nervous disposition and this exhibition of temper or obstinacy is due to. some underlying cause. On the other hand of course, this very nervousness, this tendency to emotion so upsets the natural pro- cesses of the body, such as digestion and absorption of food, that in time restlessness is produced, Now it has been found that in these youngsters after one of these spells 'that the sugar in the blood is at a low level, just as in all cases of fatigue, . You will remember that 'in the Boston Marathon race two years ago that the very tired runners showed a low level of sugar in the blood, And the ones that showed the most fati- gue were really starved for sugar. Some of the runners the following year ate more sugar and candy pre- vious to the race, and even carried some candy with them to eat during NE aN a ¥ = the race. It has been found that these fret- ful youngsters have a real acidosis, that is that the alkaline reserve of the blood gets down too low, With this in mind research men have been cutting down the milk, cream, cod liver oil, butter and eggs. The cereal foods, whole wheat bread) biscuits, sugar, jam, sugar candy, maple sugar, or boiled swects may be given daily and at meal times. In addition to this a little baking soda, about one teaspoonful in all, during the day, is given to offset the tendency to acidosis Sometimes there may be some poisoning of the system from bad teeth or tonsilg, or some nose condi- tion, which by creating a poison in the blood, gives the same condition of fatigue or tireless, and restless- fess, The thought then is that the old idea of giving a sugar stick to a rest less child was not really a bribe, hut good "medical" treatment.

At the close of the church service they ' followed their pastor, Rev, S. Nicoloff, to the par- isle hall where, under the auspices of the Macedonian Political - organiza- tion, they celebrated the insurrection of 26 years ago when the yoke of the Turk was thrown off, - During the addresses which fol- lowed the blessing of the wheat and holy bread, Chris. Evanoff, president of the Macedonian association, and Mrs. Dozenoff, president of the wo- men's section, recounted the bravery of the men and women who died for liberty and Macedonia. Each person wore a small badge of red and black --the red signifying the blood which had been shed and still flows for lib- erty, the black to remind those in this land of freedom that the homeland is still under subject to a foreign government, Soil from the battlefields upon which their countrymen had shed their blood was exhibited in a small glass case and blessed by the priest. This was sent to the local organiza- tion by the Interior organization of Macedonia, and was the inspiration for much of the stirring oration of | the president. | The platform in the hall was adorn- ed with the banner of the local Ma- cedonian organization, which has for its motto "Justice." In the centre were portraits of Boris Sarrafoff, T. Alexandroff, Damian Grueff and Miss Marabonova--a young woman who shot the Turkish prefect for killing Macedonians, turned the gun on her- self, and with the words, "I love my country and 1 give my life for it," on her lips, died. Wreaths and crepe sur- rounded these pictures as well as a large group picture of others who died for the liberty of Macedonia. At the conclusion of the program large platters of boiled whole wheat and the holy bread were distributed, ev- ery man, woman and child present receiving a small parcel for the house- hold to which they belonged. It was announced that on Septem- ber 1 the eighth American congress of the Macedonian Political organi- zation will be held in Toronto. This | will be the first meeting in Canada and will include all branches of the organization in Canada and the Unit- | {ed States, On that occasion the 1 Macedonians wil march to the ceno- | taph at the city hall, where a wreath { will be deposited in memory of the | unknown soldier and all others who | have given their lives fo: Christianity | and liberty.
