New York and Chicago. « _TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1929 THE LITTLE THEATRE PROBLEM SIMPLIFIED a The letter which appeared in Saturday's issue of + The Times from Allin F. Annis, member of the Osh- awa Board of Education, regarding the use by the % Little Theatre of the auditorium of the Collegiate and * Vocatjonal Institute, sheds some interesting light un "the subject. According to Mr. Annis, the only real point at issuc is whether or not amusement tax must "be collected on the Little Theatre productions. That being the case, the whole issuc is greatly. simplified. Even should the provincial treasurer, in his wisdom decide that thé Little Theatre movement.is not an educational institution, a decision with which we would take issue, there should be no serious obstacle in the way of the.auditorium being used for the pui- pose for' which it has been requested. The board may feel that it is taking a sound stand in objecting to being saddled with the task of for this, and that seems a logical attitude: Ini the case under consideration, however, it should not be allowed to stand in the way of granting the Little Theatre the use of the Collegiate and Vo- 'cational "Institute auditorium. The citizens who are behind the Little Theatre movement iare people of the highest public spirit, and while the responsibiliiy for the government reports rests priffarily with" the lessors of the auditorium, yet the officials of the Little Theatre would, we feel certain, gladly under- take the work of collecting the tax and compiling the necessary returns, This would, of course, over- come the objection which. has been raised by the . Board of Education, irrespective of the decision that may be reached by the provincial treasurer, and would provide the Little Theatre with a worthy set- ting for the productions which it is proposed to pre- sent to the public during the coming scason. THE. ST. CATHARINES DISASTER It was unfortunate that the opening of the airport at St. Catharines should have been overshadowed by one of the worst disasters in the history of aviation in Canada, a disaster in which, six. occupants of an aeroplane lost their lives. It is not easy for the average layman in aeronautics to define the cause of, such things. "Whether faults in the mechanism of the acroplane, or a momentary loss of control by. the pilot, the human factor, was responsible, remains for the expert investigators to decide, and that will in all probability be done in the investigation which has been ordered. It scems incvitable that the progress of aviation should be marred by such tragedies. To some extent, aviation is still in the pioneer stages, and years may clapsc before the maximum of safety is achieved. Yet it is remarkable that such disasters have no offect on the public attitude towards flying. This is evidenced by the fact that on Sunday, less than twenty-four hours after the fatal 'crash, thousands of people beseiged the St. Catharing¢s airport, eager to take flights in the aeroplanes that were available. So great was the demand that there were not sufficient aeroplanes to cope with it. This would indicate a great confidence on the part of the public in the safety of flying. Of course, it is truc that accidents of this kind are the exception rather than the rule in modern aviation, although the art of flying is so new that the public might well be excused for having some doubts as to the ad- visability of risking life and limb after rcading of the disaster at St. Catharines. THE BROADCASTING COMMISSION "REPORT Canada has become a nation of radio listeners, and for that reason the report of the commission ap- _pointed to investigate the radio.broadeasting situa- tion in this country was awaited with keen interest. Now that it has come, it is being subjected to much .eriticism, although it is not a great deal different from what was expected. ; The system whicki the commission would set up is much the same as that in Vogue in Great Britain, that of a government monopoly of radio broadcasting ii Canada. The commission has the advantage of most Canadians in that it made an extensive study 'of the British system, and is therefore in a better "position than the average man and woman to judge of its merits or otherwise. Even on the face of iit, however, there is something to be said in favor "of establishing a chain of high-powered stations "yight:acrogs Canada, to provide Canadians with pro- grams of high merit of a purely Canadian nature. These stations, it is intended, should be powerful enough to compete with the latest United States radio stations whose programs are heard in the bulk of Canadian homes. The difficulties in the way of this plan, however, are very great. The wiping out of private stations legal holidays, at Oshewa collecting thee amgsement tax and accounting to the government - . scribed what happened in which have been making a sincere effort to provide good programs, truly Canadian in character, seems like an injustice to those who have been pioneers in the field of radio broadcasting in this country. True, it is' proposed to compensate the owners of these stations, but that would entail a huge expen- diture, and even then, it is doubtful if the operators of the privately-owned stations would consider even ' a large payment in cash as sufficient to compensate them for the loss of the privileges they now enjoy. On the other hand, the elimination of the purely advertising features of radio programs would be wel- comed by the listening public. The average radio listener has time and again been disgusted with the time taken up by announcements on the air of va ous products. This kind of propaganda little value to the person who is paying for it, since it often creates an antipathy on the part of Roger Babson that radio advertising brings no worth- while results to those who pay for it. It can be seen, however, that there are many an- gles to the report pf the commission and the Dom- inion government would be well advised to step warily in putting any of its recommendations into effect. "SONS OF FREEDOM" DISAVOWED The attitude of The Times regarding the Doukho- bour troubles in the west, ag expressed in a recent editorial, "has. been borne out by a despatch from Veregin, Saskatchewan. The Times, it: will be re- called, pointed out that the trouble was being caused by a small sect of the Doukhobors, known as the "Sons of Freedom," and that the great majority of these people were law-abiding and hard-working citizens. This is borne out by the address delivered at Vere- gin, Sask., by Pefer Veregin, the leader of the Douk- hobor colony in that gommunity, in which hé entirely disassociated himself and his followers from the "Sons of Freedom" movement. One can hardly blame him for taking this. stand, for through the defiance of these fanatics, as he terms them the whole Doukhobor . population of Canada has, mis- takenly, been blamed for lawlessness. So far as the legitimate Doukhobor sect is con- cerned, Peter Veregin was careful to point out what was stressed in The Times' editorial, that his people had become independent and prosperous, and were quite satisfied to abide by the laws of the Deminion, and it is unfortunate that they should all have been branded, by many newspapers, as rebels and outlaws, because of the activities of a defiant handful. A WONDERFUL WORK The announcement of the Hon. Dr. Forbes God- frey, minister of health in the provincial cabinet, regarding the activities of his department in fighting the scourge of infantile paralysis, reveals a wonderful work which is being done in a quiet and unogtenta- tious way. Through the efforts of the department, he showed, two hundred or more cases of infantile par- alysis had been treated with a special serum ob- tained and prepared by it, and of thesc cases, fully ninety-five per' cent. had fully recovered. This work has a tremendous importance to the province of Ontario, Infantile paralysis is one of Other Editor's Comments CO-OPERATION (La Presse) The Canadian wheat pools are, as everybody knows, nothing else but powerful co-operative associations, whose - members, united by ties of mutual solidarity, pool their brains, their work and their hopes. By this means they can control and direct their enormous production in the great markets of the world to get the best profit. The same success is assured to co-operation applied to Gther specialized agricultural pro- ucts. SOVIET SOCIAL CONDITIONS (Montreal Gazette) A Moscow newspaper is authority for the statement that in the Soviet Republics there are over a million children between eight and fourteen years of vge who are working in mills and other establishments and that they dre unprotected and fre- quently beaten. The facts as stated seem to show that the men at the head of 'affairs in the Union of So- cialist Republics have a' task at home sufficiently difficult to occupy their time and talent without attempting to bring other and more progressive countries into line with. Russia's mode of industry and politics. VALUABLE EDUCATION * (Windsor Border Cities Star) Scholarships for grocers' apprenti- ces in England will be granted by the Canadian Department 'of Trade and Commerce. It is* rather a unique idea, but there are distinct possibili- ties in the plan, possibilities that will redound to the benefit of both Can- ada and the Motherland. These boys will be brought to this country where they will spend two weeks on a tour designed to better fit them for their life work. . . . Greater still than this, they will learn at first hand how the people over here live, and they will go back and tell the people of their native land. This will be a valuable contribution to the better understanding and sympathy that arc so much needed. IMMIGRATION (La Patrie) Last year the Canadian. public de- clared that in existing circumstances immigration should be discouraged. We could not establish newcomers with success in agriculture, and we had no place to offr- t' -m in indus- try, so tha§ they cou. only turn ou to be a cause of embarrassment. Sub- mitting to this new trend of public opinion, the Government discontinued its work in respect to immigration, gave instructions to the railways to cease their activities in this direction and generally took measures which it considered opportune to check the stream of immigration. What has been the result of this new attitude of the Government? Immigration has increased. - Bits of Humor - the most deadly of diseases, and it simply that through the efforts of the department of Health, two 'hundred people arc alive and well, instead of being dead or paralyzed. Little is heard of the labors of those men who are devoting their time and energies, through this de- partment to the promotion of the health of the peo- ple of Ontario, but chance announcements of this kind serve to give some inkling of what is being accomplished in this. important department of the public service.

The trouble over the serving of meals to guests at the Canadian National Exhibition seems to put Toronto in the small town class--but perhaps that is a libel on the small towns, If there is a election coming, and the liquor ques- tion is again an issue, it is very essential that all the forces opposed to the liquor traffic should present an united front, no matter what their politics may: be. ---- It is said that fortune favors the courageous, and the citizens of Oshawa and South Ontario who were courageous enough to sponsor the Fair had their re- ward in the splendid weather conditions which pre- vailed the whole time it was in operation. The wonderful floral displays at the Oshawa Fair provided an abundance of argument in favor of a horticultural society for this city, because so many of 'them came from Whitby and Bowmanville. Osh- awa had its share, too, of course, but it would be much greater if horticulture were given a little more encouragement here. A bus passenger who sprayed passengers in a motor car with the contents of a fire extinguisher as a pun- ishment for slow driving and delaying the bus, now faces a court charge as a result.

Prayer: as Jesus did "0 happy if we labor, Amant By James W. Barton, M.D. FOODS THAT CAUSE SKIN AILMENTS There was a time when meat was blamed for manw human ailments-- cancer, heart disease, kidney, rheu- matism and many forms of skin ail- ments, That too much meat has had a bad effect upon the kidneys of some in- dividuals is true, but many of the ail- ments for which meat was formerly blamed are now thought to be due to vegetable starches and to fruits. One skin specialist stated recently that "fruitarians and vegetarians in applying théir theories with the growing child, are little short of criminals." He tells that while well ripened oranges arc a good safe food that oranges in the fresh picked state arc the greatest offenders in the way of skin reactions. Now what about food and skin ail- ments? As a matter of fact most skin ail- ments can be traced to certain foods caten, not because there is anything wrong with the food itself, but be- cause the patient's tissues react un- favorably to the particular food. For instance one of the best foods known, the tomato, gives rise to morc skin irritation than any other known vegetable, The potato, naothef valuable food likewise causes skin irritation, and until it is removed from the daily diet, some obstinate skin ailment re- fuses to clear up. Perhaps the worst offenders are certain raw fruits. Now nearly everybody thinks of raw fruits as ideal food--food in a natural state with all its food values, its vitamins, its roughage--and there- fore man's best food. This is all true but nevertheless you" have only to look about you to sce a member of the family, a friend or an acquaintance, who cannot eat raw fruits without an attack of ur- ticaria, or "hives" as it is called. Stewed these raw fruits seem to sufficient in many cases to over- come this tendency to skin irritation. The thought then in any chronic skin ailment is to try to discover just what food-vegetable, cereal, fruit, eggs, and sometimes meat, that may be the underlying cause. A little baking soda, taken daily, often counteracts the acidosis set up by some foods. (Registered in accordance with the Copyright Act.) bien} While on my way to the Pa- cific coast a few days ago, I stopped over in Salt Lake City, Utah, so that I could view some of the much heralded scenery there. This thriving city located at the base of the Wasatch mountains is attractively laid out with wide tree shaded streets. The city's claim to being "The Center of Scenic Ame- rica" is largely born out by the fact that it is the gateway to the famous Yellowstone Park, Bryce Canyon, Zion's Canyon, the Kiabab Forest, and the north rim of the Grand Can- yon, Business in Salt Lake is ac- tive and keenly competitive. One of the. first persons I had the pleasure of mecting during my visit was Mr. E. F. Dreyfous, pre- sident and general manager of The Paris Company, and vice- president and general manager of Walker Brothers Dry Goods Company, which are two of Salt Lake's largest and most progres- sive department stores. Mr. Dreyvfous took ime out to his country estate, about twelve miles from Salt Lake, which proved to be one of the most attractive places have ever seen, I saw there over forty thousand imported bulb plants in bloom, and a flower nursery aglow with literally thousands of plants from all parts of the world. Although I was greatly im- pressed with all of this beauty and luxuriance, I could not dis- card from my mind the down- town business activity, and be- ing curious to know the adver- tising media used most extensive- ly by Mr. Dreyfous in his keenly competitive business, I asked him to, what did he attribute the phe- nomenal success of his two stores. Mr. Dreyfous quickly answered, "HONEST MERCHANDISING PLUS CONSISTENT NEWS. PAPER ADVERTISING, AND THE _YEAR-TO-YEAR IN- CREASE IN THE VOLUMES OF OUR STORES MORE THAN JUSTIFIES MY BELIEF IN THE BUSINESS-GETTING POWER OF THIS COMBINA- TION." MR.

(London Daily Express) There is no real necessity for Great Britain and the United States to discuss their navies at all.

Where there is no ground for quarrel there can be no question of hostile competition.

Weeks of speculation were end- ed summarily last evening when Premier Ferguson made this terse announcement at Queen's Park. Nominations, he stated, will be hela on October 19. After a two-hour cabinet meet- ing yesterday afternoon, the pre- mier personally visited Hon. W. D. Ross, lieutenant-governor, and end- ed the life of the seventeenth leg- islature. His honor, acting on the advice of his prime minister, sign- ed the order-in-council calling for the issuance of the writs of disso- lution and the holding of an elec- tion. Pre-announcement guessing dis- appeared into the thin air when shortly after 8 o'clock in the even- ing, the premier announced that there would be no cabinet reorgan- ization. He made this statement at the same. time as he told, for the first time, the secret that has been his for weeks--the date of the election. Chief among the promises of the pronouncement is a reduction in motor car license fees of more than $2,000,000 annually. The new lic- ense charges are announced as fol- lows: cars 25 horsepower and un- der, $5; cars from 25 h.p. up to and including 35 h.p., $10; cars over 35 h.p., $20. At phere. of Susp But the tingling atmosphere of suspense which has made the great old buildings in its abode in the past few weeks was not calmed by the naming of the date. Excite- ment lived on in the dark, empty | halls of the legislative pile for four hours - while the cabinet, behind closed doors, framed the manifesto | upon which the government goes to | the country. The buildings were silent except for the voices of a half-dozen anxiously waiting news- papermen and the intermittent hammerings of the battery of type- writers. upon which the pronounce- ment was being written. It was a few minutes after mid- night when the premier called in the newspaper representatives and distributed copies of the manifes- to. The government's platform, heretofore hinted at, was now pub- lic property. Agriculture, first among the in- dustries of the province, assumes the importance due its position iu the manifesto. A better and more prosperous agriculture, in New On- tario and old, is the central plank of this political platform. Many are the promised improve- ments held out to the farmer. The first is more roads--a vast exteu- sion, by greater expenditures, of the secondary or township and county roads of the province. Cheaper hydro power next is offer- ed. At the next session of the leg- islature, the manifesto states, sta- tutes will be effected to reduce the hydro service charge from#¢its pres- ent average rate of $4.55 per 100- acre farm down to $2.50. Further, the cost of the power installation equipment will be lent by the gov: ernment to the farmer on louus running up to a period of 10 years. Rural education facilities are discussed. Parents in rural dis- tricts will be given the opportunity of providing. better education for their children under a scheme by which such schools as teach up to fifth form work will receive more generous grants from the govern- ment. Thus, on a basis wherein the parent has the option, the premier is introducing his plan of bringing the first two years of high school into the public schools. Intensive Research An Intensive agricultural re- search will be pursued by the re- search board, the manifesto an- nounces. This work will involve study of soil conditions, improved production and marketing methods, and the eradication of weeds and diseases in plants and animals. Overseas marketing opportuni- ties now centred largely on fruit, will be extended to other products, it is announced, if success attends the plan, announced some months ago, of having a fruit marketing expert stationed in London, Eng- land. Similar agencies will be ex- tended to other products, the mani- festo states. Declaring that present demands indicate an exhaustion of developed electric energy in -Ontario in 1932. the pronouncement asserts government intends, while await- ing the development - of the St. Lawrence to develop an additional reserve of about 600,000 horse power. The immediate develop ments will be the Carillon and Chats falls in the Ottawa valley, which have a total estimated de- velopment of 275,000 horse power. A 'vigorous, systematic northern colonization scheme, aimed at the compact settlement of the vast spaces of New Ontario, will be pur- sued by the government. In new Ontario, as in old, says the mani- festo. the trunk roads have preced- ed the minor ones. The govern- ment is now in a position, it is stated, to build the necessary sub- sidiary roads for the settlers' local use. The announcement of an increase in the iron ore bounty made by the premier some weeks ago at Sault Ste. Marie also is contained in the manifesto. Under this announce- ment legislation is promised next session to give a bounty of one cent a unit on the treatment of iron ore mined in Ontario. Mention is made also of the recent James Bay lignite discoveries. Railway Extension What may be an intimation of the Kamiscotia extension of the T. and N.O. railway, long demanded by many Timmins residents, may lie in one of the sentences of the reference to the province's morth- ern railway. It reads: 'The gov- ernment has now under considera- tion some plans for extensions that it hopes to be able to justify." After a lengthy review of the- humanitarian legislation enactea by the late legislature, the mani- festo deals with liquor control. The issue that was paramount in the 1926 election is Item No. 10 on the 1929 pronouncement. It is stated that the government will strengthen the present act where such is needed and that con- structive suggestions will be adopt- ed where practicable. "We venture to suggest," the manifesto reads, "to those who are not ' yet satisfied with the liquor control act that the present law should have a fair trial. The en- couragement through educational methods of self control, temperance and sobriety is the only lasting so- lution of this problem." uf Loy C. H. TUCK, Opt. D. | (Copyright 1928) "If Thine Eye Offend" Unless we properly differentiate in the separate cases with the view to removing the causes all the at- tention to the outwardly offend- ing organ will be in vain, You may ask, why then does this localized disturbance be evidensed in some more remote part of the human system? It is nature's warning com- municated through the sympathet- ic nerves and if ignored will be evi- denced in its more localized condi- tion later and generally in a more advanced stage. In the interest of health and comfort the profession of Optomet- ry is dedicated to the relief of all errors of refraction and muscle an- omalies, Those cases wkich do not come under this head are referred for relief to the physician, dentist etc. best able to. care for it. _ Where reflex disorders exist it is well to correct the condition in the interest of the supposedly of- fending organ lest its use be lost in natures evolution for our com- fort. To be Continued ETIQUETTE BREACH AT FIRE OUTBREAK Lonon.--You'd think a fellow's own fire would be safe, But a petty problem in fire brigade etiquette arose at Eaton Socon, near St. Noots," Hunts, the other day. It is: "If a fire engine finds a fire nicely alight while it is taking an unofficial trip through the area belonging to another brigade, may it put the fire out, or will it be act- ing as a 'blackies' if it interferes with the other engine's fire?" Judge of the consternation when the St. Noots brigade reached a fire in a carpenter's shop at Eaton Socon, recently, only to find a strange fire engine coolly pumpirg on the flames as if they were its 'own property. The driver of the strange engine explained that it was a new one, and that he was taking it by road from London to Duffield, in York- shire, when he saw the fire, and could not resist the temptation to put it out. Of course, that's all very well, but if every tourist thinks he can appropriate another, man's fire, where is the thing to end, and was it worth winning the war? KNOCKED DOWN BY AUTO Toronto, Sept. 17.--Frank New= ly, 147 Fairview avenue, was Jknocked down and slightly in- jured on St. John's road near Laws street last night by an auto in charge of William Bartley, 124 Fairview avenue. He was given medical treatment and afterwards 'was anticipated, SINCLAIR CLAIMS ELECTION CALLED WITHOUT CAUSE Liberal Platform to be Made Public in a Few Days i Chesterville, Sept. 17--A mani- festo enunciating the policy of the Liberal party of Ontario In regard to the coming provincial election will be issued during the next few days by W. E. N. Sinclair, Liberal leader, told a gathering of the Dundas County Liberal association here yesterday afternoon. "There is going to be an elec- tion," he assured the meeting. '"I told the government this last Feb- ruary and have been telling them 80 ever since. "Premier Ferguson has no right to dissolve the legislature two years and nine months after it was elected unless there is a clear- cut issue," he declared. "He seeks anoth® lease of life knowing that if he went four years there would not be the slightest chance of his coming back to office. He preci- pitates an election without ade- quate case. That is the way he treats the people of Ontario." While Mr, Sinclair did not open his campaign here yesterday as he made hay while the sun shone and did his best to keep normally conservative but belligerently temperate Dun- das county in the Liberal fold. In the 1926 election, George Smith, present incumbent for Dundas rid- ing won the seat for the Liberals and then by a joint convention of the Liberals and the prohibition- ists. The main part of Mr. Sinclair's address here was a protest against what he termed misrepresentation and '"'distortion for political pur- poses' of his speech at Fort Wil- liam recently in which he put for- ward the revised policy of the Lib- erals toward the Liquor Control act. He did not, he insisted to this afternoon's rally of Dundas Liberal war chiefs, either re- nounce temperance nor endorse the Liquor Control act, much less the present administration of it. '""I said, and I still say," he de- clared, "That I stand for a vote of the people of this province on the temperance question whenever a demand for such a vote is express- ed or felt. * Secondly, such a vote should be entirely apart from any election. so that discussion of the problem can be taken out of the heat and strife of an election cam- paign. And thirdly, I contend that the Ferguson government has not lived up to its promises in ad- ministering the law, and that the Liberals should be returned to power to administer it properly until such time as a need is evi- denced for a general vote to de- cide whether any change of system should be made." To Mr. Sinclair's expressed sur- prise and annoyance, the Prohibi- tionists of Dundas county have apparently fallen for the "misrep- resentations'" of the Liberal lead- er's Fort William speech. At an enthusiastic meeting in Winches- ter on Saturday, they nominated N. W. Beach, Winchester lumber merchant, as the official contend- er, for the Dundas seat in the legisianurs, of the Prohibition un- on, i Doubts Sincerity Mr. Sinclair doubted "the sin- cerity of candidatures intended to undermine the campaign of the Liberal party in Dundas county." The Prohibition Union of Ontario, he recalled, had announced its in- tention of endorsing tempirance candidates of other parties rather than putting forward candidates of its own. He also regarded the Winchester dry nomination as par- ticularly futile in view of the con- tinued temperance attitude of the Liberal party and the well known temperance stand of the Dundas Liberal association. Also, the meeting here this af- ternoon named as Liberal nominee in Dundas Wesley Hamilton, presi- dent of the Dundas County Liberal association, Reeve of Chesterville, and a life-long resident of this vile lage.
