"SATURDAY, AUGUST 16, 1929- THE LITTLE THEATRE The initial steps towards the organization of the Littie Theatre of Oshawa for its second season have been taken, and strong committées have been formed to bear the burden of the work of making it a more successful feature than ever of the life of 'the com- munity. ow] season, it Will be recalled, marked the initial venture in Oshawa of the Little Theatre, Starting as a much misunderstood movement, it worked its way into the | 'hearts and minds of the people, and by the end, of tire season had become highly popular. Unfortunately, its rise to extreme popularity came a it"s too tate to'enable it to close the season on the right side financially. With last year's experience behind it, however, the Little Theatre should have a more successful season in the months which lie ahead. There is a grave misunderstanding of this movement which should, however, be dispelled as-a first essential towards its complete success. The Little Theatre is not, as many people imagine, a highbrow movement for the select few. It is essen- tially a people's movement, designed to entertain the masses by the presentation, in a worthy manner, of the best in dramatic art. Last year, the plays selected by those in charge all filled that requirement, and they were presented in a way that provided delight- ul entertainment. They were plays which all classes of the citizens could thorot ghly enjoy, and the time and money spent in patronizing them was well spent. Last season's experience should ensure a much larger list of subscribers to the Little Theatre. That is necessary if success is to be attained. Fortunately, a very large number of citizens have already pledged themselves as supporters of the movement, and these, with the addition of others, should send it off in the near future to a season which will find it ever increasing in popularity and in the support of the public it is designed to serve. "THE WORTHLESSNESS OF PERMITS Some newspapers in Ontario: have been devoting some editorial comment to the system which is in vogue in Ontario of licensing automobile drivers by the issuing of annual permits, The conclusion at which most of them arrive is that such permits are "worthless so far as testing the 'ability of a driver is 'concerned. In the province of Alberta, the automobile permit - "costs fifty cents, but is good for life, being recalled only when the owner proves himself unfit, as a driver, to hold it. In the country of Peru, in South Ame- rica, the permits are renewable every six months, and the holders must present themselves for a stiff ex- amination in driving before it is renewed. In Ontario, a different system from either of these prevails.' It is safe to say that hundreds of thou- sands of people who hold drivers' permits secured these without any semblance of a test as te their fitness to drive a car, and where examinations were made, in many cases they were of a very perfunc- tory type. The Ontario system too, provides that the licenses "must be renewed every year, but that does not mean anything, save that the holder must pay over 'to the government of Ontario another dollar each year. There is no test, no examination, no way of deter- : mining whether the person securing the license is a fit person to take a motor vehicle, with all its power and potentialities, out on the highway. In fact, it would seem that the--enly value of the "motor drivers' permit is that it provides simply an- other means whereby another half million dollars or so can be poured into the rapacious maw of the pro- vincial treasury. MASS AVIATION -- France must be a great deal farther ahead in avia- tion than most countries in the world." It is an- «..mounced that the air traffic there has reached such . proportions. that it has become necessary to. organize Lan aerial police force, to patrol the air dnd enforce traffic regulations in much the same way 'as is done on the highways of this country. * This sounds interesting. So far, there is nat suffi- cient ait traffic on this continent to causc-any wor- ries about over-crowding. But 'of course France has not the vast expanses of Canada and the United States, and if a large number of aeroplanes all tried i to get to the same place at once, there Might quite I! easily be some congestion. The work of the aerial police, however, must be de- cidedly interesting, and not very' difficult. For in- stance, one can hardly' imagine an acroplane beirig ordered to the ground for violation of parking regu- lations, nor for ignoring stop and go signal lights. "There might be a possibility of a fine for' speeding, even in the air, but one wonders if the traditional sethod of putting salt on the bird's tail will become . and it is greatly the accepted method of catching' the aerial speeders. However, por has. its own way of doing things, dificrent the. way. of. doing . things on this side of the Atla antic. ARVERTISING AND GREDIT ¥ Phere 1§ one way in Which a Business man may greatly improve his credit standing, and that is by a policy of 'consistent advertising. 'The men who are the controlling powers in: the banks of this coun- try believe in 'advertising, because tliey know from experience that it pays. The feeling of bank men, therefore, is that when a merchant who is a good advertiser applies for a loan, that a reasonable amount of goods bought by him on credit is likely to be turned over quickly and paid for promptly, on account of his methods of keep- ing his goods constantly before the public. % Discriminating buyers of every <class know they' can secure fresh goods from the store that advertises. The merchant who advertises seldom keeps his goods on the shelf long enough to become shopworn. And ; in that way, advertising helps the merchant's credit, not only with the banks, but also with his customers. And the one is just as important as the other. A SURPRISING COUNTRY Some surprising . information and pictures are contained in a booklet entitled "Yukon, Land of the Klondike," which has just been issued by the depart- ment of the interior. There is a general impression abroad that the Yukon is a land of almost perpetual snows, that it is a bitterly' cold and inhospitable country. : That idea, however, is completely dispelled by this booklet. In story and in picture it sets forth the at- tractions of a fascinating district which provides fer- tility to produce wonderful flower gardens and fields. Even in that far north country, the summer is a time of rare charm, and can compare with that of any other section of Canada. The object of the booklet, of course, is to create interest in the Yukon as a holiday-making ground, and it certainly provides enough inspiration to make anyone desire to acquire a closer acquaintance with the Land of the Klon- dike. HOUSE OF STRAW There are few of us who did not, in our Sunday School days, sympathize with the plight of the Israel- ites in Egypt when they were forced to make bricks with straw, and, later, to make them even without straw. But it all seemed like mythology to our child- ish minds, and we did not realize that we might, in later years, find such a task quite within the bounds of possibility, This comment is occasioned by the reading of a despatch telling of the evolution of a process in the province of Saskatchewan for building houses from straw. At first reading, it seems like an almost im- possible thing to believe that houses to withstand the rigors of the Canadian climate could be made from what is now practically: waste material. Yet a method has been found of making strawboard which is both cold-resisting and fire-resisting, and which can be used for the building of homes. This is an invention which has great promise. It would be a wonderful thing for the farmers if they could dispose of their surplus straw to factories en- gaged in the making of this new building material. One can quite' well foresee the day when, in years when the grain crop fails, the farmers will still be able to carn substantial revenues from the straw. OBSERVING THE SABBATH From time immemorial, the strict observance of the sabbath day has been one of the outstanding features of Scottish life, In Scotland, Sunday is what it is meant to be, a day for rest, worship and medi- tation, and it' lacks entircly many of the undesirable features which have become so common on the Sab bath day on this continent. This has been shown very forcibly in the protest which has been made by the Assembly Commission of the Scottish I'rec Church, against the action of the Duke and Duchess of York in presenting medals on a Sunday, and against the meeting which was held by Premier MacDonald and Ambassador Dawes, also on a Sunday. In many countries, these incidents would have passed unnoticed in that respect, but not so in Scot- land. There they have very fixed ideas of what is proper and what is improper on the Sabbath Day. There is something meritorious about this respect for the Lord's Day, something that could, with benc- fit, be copied; by the people of other lands, where Sunday has become a day of pleasure rather than a day devoted to rest, worship and meditation on the higher things' of life. EDITORIAL NOTES There are still some motorists who attempt to get across in front of a train, but only succeed in getting a cross. The healthiest kind of exercise that can be taken by Toronto people anxious to hear a Communist speech is the exercise of discretion. The only thing to trouble a man who is just starts ing on his holiday is the knowledge that the coal bin will be calling him- as soon as he gets back. If the reports of two dollar wheat come true, the only sufferers from the light wheat crop will be the people who have to scrape to buy their daily bread. King George cabled congratulations to President Hoover on his birthday. Surely. this is enough to make Big Bill Thompson of Chicago turn Democrat. ------ By and by the people. of Toronto will be beginning to wonder whether the speeches of .the Communists. or the bullying of the police is more to be feared, i Fatal accidefts on the Ontario: highways are de- clining noticeably. The publicity campaign of the Highway Safety Committee is proving its value by its results. Fruit Commissioner McIntosh complains that the people of Canada do not eat enough apples. Perhaps if they could secure fruit of as good quality as is shipped -overgeas, they would eat more, When aldermen start giving newspaper interviews and writing letters to the editor, it is a sign that the second half of their term {s becoming fairly well advanced, and that the next election is drawing closer. "Other Editor's S" "Comments UNDESIRABLE LI LITERATURE nada) We have in Canada a population of which the great bulk is English- speaking, and 'even 'of American" in] clinations, as far as their customs, ha- bits, language and beliefs go. These people find, quite naturally, that they have a healthy appetite for Ameri- can literature, As a consequence the quantity 'of magazines, reviews, jour- nals, etc, which enters this count, is: so considerable that it is practi- cally impossible, even with the most rigorous censorship, to' control en- tirely the literature which the Amer- icans arc sending us; IMMIGRANTS AND THE WINTER (Quebec Evenement) Seventies thousand immigrants have entered Canada in the past three months.) The number of vaga- bonds who have recently entered the country: and who have appeared in the police court in Quebee, since the opening of the navigation season' will soon reach the hundred. This means that, in most' Canadian towns, immi- gration has sensibly aggravated the labour situation by the introduction of "these wretches. In these condi- tions 'it is casy to foresee that next winter will be a hard one for thous- ands and thousands of these foreign- crs, who are brought here through an anti-national and inhuman policy, and for the most part on false preten- ces. FOREST PROTECTION (Montreal Gazette) That Canadians have learned the lesson of forest fires since the days when large areas were devastated is evidenced in the presnt-day situation, Lack of rain naturally caused an- xiety to those who have in hand the carc of the forests, and their ar- rangements for fire fighting have been put to a crucial test this sum- mer.' It would appear that the vari- otis organizations which have come into being of late, or have become more efficient, have learned the value of co-operation, with the result that today we are told by the Canadian Forestry Association that the Dom- inion does not stand in the déplor- able state which some feared it might do. Alarming forest fire con- ditions persist in the Prairie Prov- inces, and in Northwestern Ontario, but Quebec and New Brunswick have been fortunate in. escaping anything of a serious nature. The lare of the forests in the Prairie Provinces be- longs to the Federal Government since this natural resource is still controlled from Ottawa, whereas in other provinces the provincial govern- ments control their own natural re sources, - Bits of Humor - Making a Start--"Grocery butter is so unsatisfactory, dear," said the young wife.

Barton, M.D. o% VARICOSE VEINS VERY COMMON I have written more than once about varicose yeins of the legs, for the reason that during examination of recruits for the army, and since that time, the number of cases is certainly more than was formerly suspected. : You will remember that the treat ment before and during the war was to remove these outer or superficial veins by operation, and depend upon the deeper. veins to carry the blood back to the heart. Then . research men discovered that by injecting these veins th could cause them to dry up and like pieces of string. At first there were a few "al dents" from this method as some the fluid injected got into the tissu surrounding the vein and caused ul cers that took a long time to heal. And so, many members of the pro fession have been waiting to see how successful this injection treat- ment would prove to be, and if the "cure" would be permanent. With over fifty thousand cases treated by the injection method, compared with the record of cases where the veins were removed by the knife, there is no question but that the injection method has Proven its superiority. While deaths from the operation are not common, the chance of such an occurrence is sixteen times more likely by the use of the knife than by the injection method. Another point that means much to the patient and to the physician also, is the chances of other veins in the leg becoming varicosed after the treatment. It was found that this happened much more frequently after the op- eration by the use of the knife, than by the injection method. This means then that in suitable cases, and the majority are suitable, that the safe and simple injection method will now be the choice of physicians. Remember there are cases, where for various reasons, one method would be superior to the other, and some cases where neither of the methods could be used. However as mentioned before, a tight band is placed around the leg above the veins, and the patient re- quired to walk a little distance. If the working of his muscles by walk- ing keeps the vein or return circu- lation going properly, despite the tight band, it is felt that the under- neath veins are in good condition and an operation may be performed either by the knife or injection me- thod.

A member of the Methodist church, he took a deep interest in all matters of religion. SCHOMBERG MAIL LOOTED BY GANG Four Stores and Post Office in Town Burglarized: During Night Schomberg, Aug. 17.--A mail robbery and five burglaries and at. tempted burglaries were perpetras- ed here some time between 3 and four o'clock yesterday morning. Schomberg awoke to find that the post office had been broken into, and two bags of mail stolen. Four local shops were raided by the um: known crooks, who disappeared as silently as they had come. A pri- vate residence was broken into, but nothing of value taken by the rob- bers. E. Duncan, the local' mail car- rier, entered the post office at about 8 o'clock yesterday morning and found that the back window had been forced open. The top pase had been shattered and the lower pane raised after the lock had been opened. Duncan aroused E. 'f. Lloyd, the postmaster, who made a survey of the office. '""The thieves had taken 2 bags. One was full of letters and parcels that had arrived the might before and were awaiting delivery yester- day. The other was full of empty mail bags," stated Mr. Lloyd. "I can't state the value of the mail they stole, because it wasn't regis- tered." Constable Gus Farquhar, local constable, made a preliminary in- vestigation, and phoned for Sergt. Thomas B. Kirk, chief of police of Newmarket. Sergt. Kirk arrived a short time later and conducted an investigation. GERMAN VESSEL CARRIED REBELS Picked up Exiles in Poland and Disembarked them for Assault Port of Spain, Trinidad, Aug. 17. --The German steamship Falke, denounced as a pirate ship by the Venezuelan government, was in port here Thursday, with officers and crew divided among them- selves as to the propriety of their aid to revolutionists who attackea Cumana, Venezuela, on Sunday. Officers of the Falke said Captain Tipplitt sailed' from Hamburg, Germany, in ballast to an unknown port in Poland, where their ship took aboard 125 exiled Venezuelans led by Gen. Delgado Chalbaud, exiled Venezuelan, and his son. The ship proceeded to Cumana and near that port took 200 other insurgents aboard. The officers lat- tionists and a great quantity of am- munition at a chosen point. The the part played by Capt. Tipplitt and consulted -the German consul here as to the action they could take against him. * The Falke officers said govern- ment forces attacked the insur- gents as they were landing, and the ship's third officer, who was in one of .the boats, was killed. Gen. Chalbaud's: son and a small group of insurgents escaped aboard the Falke and proceeded to Granada island in the West Indies.
