New York end Chisago FRIDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1929 THE NEED OF THRIFT ---------- In the appeals which are being made to the Ase sociated Welfare Societies for help by needy families in the city, there arc indications that some of those who are now in need are learning the bitter lesson of the disastrous results of the lack of thrift, In many cases, little thought had been given to the future by those who were carning substantial wages, They were carning,~and they were spending == sometimes foolishly and sometimes wisely, 'But the one thing they were not doing was suving, saving for just such a time as that which came later, when the bread winner was thrown out of work, We are fot referring to those people who invested their surplus earnings in home comforts and furnish People are not to be blamed ings, and pleasures, But there are so for wishing to have these things, many people who seem almost tafally unable to save money, people who, no matter how much they are tarning, spend it all, and never think of the days that lie ahead, The present situation is teaching many of these people a bitter lesson, the lesson that thrift, econor my and saving are virtues which are worth cultivating pecause in them is found the means of making pros vision for the days of unemployment, If the lesson can be learned at all, there should be a big improves ment in conditions in Qshawa before another winter rolls around, for those who are now suffefing because of their spendthrift tendencies, will surely have enough commen sense to make every effort to save as much money as they can while employment condis tions are good, $0 a# to carry them over any seasonal period of slackness, Striking evidence of the faith which big business men and concerns have in the 'actual dollars and cents value of advertising is found in the statement issued by the president bf the Association of National Advertisers regarding the appropriations made fur 1930. According to his figures, 242 national adver- tisers have fixed their appropriations for next year's campaigns, and they will spend a total of $20,000,000 more for advertising in 1930 than they have done in 1929, These men have alrcady 'proven the value of ads vertising in bringing them the results they desired, In 1929, they spent $186,000,000 on it, and so well satisfied are they that it pays that they are planning to spend $206,000,000 for the same purpose next year, If this means anything, it means that they are sa tisfied that their faith in advertising rests on a solid foundation, thut they believe that every cent they spend on advertising will be returned to them an hundred fold, 'so that it will increase the prosperity of the businesses with which they are associated, What is sound business poliey for them is sound policy for all men in buiness, whether on a largg scale or small scale, These men are winning success because of their faith in advertising, and the man who does not think it worth while to follow their example is not wide awake to the possibilities of development in his own business, TEACHING DRIVERS TO BE CAREFUL Aun interesting plan has Leen adopted by Judge Levi Hall of the Minucapalis traffic court for deals ing: with careless automobile drivers who are between the uges of 18 and 25, Acting. on the basis that these drivers are carcless because they do not know any better, he Hus opened up w safety school for offenders, and those who are found guiltyof careless or peckless driving are given the option of paying a fink of $25.00 of attending this school, which gives u cotrse of five weeks training, congisting of two hours of legtures and demonstrations cach week, And at the end of the term, the student Must Pass an exams ination on the traffic. cade, safety rules, and the mes chamleal control of an automobile. This is an idea which has in it wide possiblities for uso! development, It might be worth while to saggeat that such courses of instruction on safe drive ing might be made open, not only to these who have been found guilty of offences, but to all those who are learning to drive an automobile, so that, by this instruction, they can be started on the tight track ad motor drivers, There are doubtless hundreds of people, older folks as well Bs young people, with a sincere desire to practice safety in their driving, and who would appreciate the opportunity of taking such a course of instruction as the Minneapolis judge. has inaugurated, This is one of the sanest and wisest suggestions yet put forward for curbing the careless and reckless drivers, and we believe it should be heartily com- mended to the Ontario minister of highways as one of the nisthods which might be adopted by his ligh- way safety committee In training a more careful and law-abiding race of drivers, THE PRISON MUTINY IE ------ For the second time In a few months, there has been a serious mutiny of prisoners st the Auburn prison in New York State, with a serious loss of life attached to it, This is the fifth outbreak of its kind in United States prisons in the last six months, and in all of these either guards or convicts or both have been killed, Teo the people of this country, who are aecustomed to having their penal institutions handled In an effi. clent and safe fashion, the whole situation Is puze- ling, They cannot understand how it could he poss sible for inmates of a prisonto so organize thems #plves, to secure possession of large quantities of arms, and finally to make a desperate effort to overs throw constituted authority, It is apparent that there is something radically. wrong with a system under which such things are even possible, far less being of #0 frequent occurrence as they lave been, The whole root of the trouble, of course, les in the potorious laxity which Is shown in the handling of desperate criminals right through the complete chain of the administration of justice, In every one of these five cases of Jail mutiny and attempted es» cape, the eriminals had secured firearms and ammuw nition, and succeeded in temporarily overpowering their keepers, There must have been some one at fault before that could be possible ~ a weak link somewhere in the chain of responsibility, One would have imagined that the very first of these occurs ences would have been sufficient to cause a tighten ing up of conditions in every jail in the country, but Instead of that, it seems as if the habit is spreading, and is likely to again burst out unless there is some radical ehange in the whole system of jail incarceras tion of desperate men, A DIFFERENT STORY An interesting controversy has arisen in letters to the editor of a Toronto newspaper as to the wisdom of educational authorities refusing to allow the school children there to read the famous war story, "All Quiet on the Western Front," on the ground that jt is not fit for children to read, The writers of some of the letters take exception to this, on the ground that it provides a splendid object lesson on the horror of war, and should he read by everyone, Their opinion, however, has been formed, to a large extent, at'ter reading the book in serial form in a newspaper, And in that form the story was entirely different from the original book as it was written, and as it appears In the English edition, The serializas tion, In fact, was a very strictly censaged version ol the United States edition, which was Previously ox purgated before being presented to the American public, So that those people who, read the story as a serial have not really read the book at all, It had been stripped of its crudeness, its vulgarities and obscenities long before it reached the newspaper cols umns, and all of these are left untouched in the Eng lish edition, which is the edition being sold in this country, The version which many people have read is, theres fore, an entirely different story to that which Is available in book form, and while the former version might have little in it to give offense, there are,' in the original version, countless passages which young people' would not be benefited by reading, In fact, the book has been glorified out of all true proportion to its real worth, for, if people were prepared to admit their honest opinion of it, that epinien would be that it is not the type of book a man would give to his wife, his daughter, or a young son, to read WHEN WAR 18 GUILTY Speaking at Milton, Mr, A. E, Padbury, of a Tors onto branch of the Canadian Legion, has uttered some common-sense sentiments in regard to soldiers' pens slons, In brief, he urges that the burden of proof should rest upon the Pensions Department (and not on the soldier) when the Department refuses coms pensation or hospital treatment to ailing veterans, About this point centres the chief present grievance of the soldiers' organizations, There is nothing rads ically wrong with the letter of the present Pensions Act in dealing with disability or disease which is directly attributable to war service, The present complaints concern such cases as follows: Private X, bedridden with rheumatism, which appeared after dis charge=pension refused; Gunner RK, suffering from tuberculosis, treatment pefused in spite of the fact that the battery records show exposure to repeated gas attacks; Corporal B, a "semisburnt-out" case, unable to hold position, shelter granted from time to time, but ne permanent provision for care To argue that the appalling experiences of the war had no effect on any of these men=and on thous: ands more like themesis to insist upon a plain ab. surdity, In recent months the veil has been sufficient ly lifted trom trench experiences to let the publi know some greater measure of the truth, The least that a just people can do for the survivors of the war is to give them the benefit of the doubt and put the blame upon the war when it comes to deciding whether or not pensions or treatment are to be grants ed, ~Toronte Globe, EDITORIAL NOTES -------- There are few householders these days who have uny cause to complain of lagk of exercise, For the next two weeks, it will be the who will carry the white man's burden, Massachusetts is testing the eyesight plying for drivers' licenses, Tt would be some cases, to test their mentality, postmen of those ap. hetter, in The price of wool is: reported to be drepping, Perhaps because of all the lambs who were fleeced in the stock market debacle, 4 A -------------------- That report in the Toronto press regarding the resignation of \W, E, N° Sinclgir and his appoints ment to a federal cabinet position is on the level as their reports of the Oshawa erime wave, The Guelph Mercury has the right angle an the Toronto reports of a ering wave in Oshawa, for it says: "The City of Oshawa has 'put a ban on the publishing of police news because the Toronto pas pers have grossly exaggerated conditions in thay ity, much to its discredit, - Some Toronto papers spes cialize in giving a black eye to other cities and turn some of the most commonplace offences into huge seandals." Other Editor's Comments A PORPOIBE AND A BOOK (Chesley Enterprise) A big fat porpolse, who would weigh about 250 pounds, called st this office one day last week to sell us a book and was quite surprised when we wouldn't even take time to look at it, We would have had more re. spect for the big fat duffer If we had seen him at one end of a crosscut saw preparing the winter's wood, NOT 80 EABY (Renfrew Mercury) The press Is belig asked to eo-op- erste by publishing sll names of mo- torists who are from now on convict- ed of driving motors while under the influence of liguor, Hon, George 8, Henry, the minister of highways, could never have edited & weekly newspaper or he would know that this Uttle request ls not as easy as it at first appears, ON NEWSPAPER SERVICE (J, L, Garvin in Observer, London) It is utterly false to" suppose that any individual can do Poi. 49 Cone siderable in Journallsm=-the most somplex of all professions = without three conditions, First, a staunch pro~ prietorship, Second, colleagues wha must be individual persons of pith and mark In their own right, and yet prepared to work together, after the manner of Nelson's captains, like a "hand of hLrothers" in the common duty, Third, training must have heen vecelved from great masters of this profession, or thelr example studied and the best of what they knew and wrought must be handed down, MODERN CONVERSATION (From the Winnipeg 'Lribune) Seareely any ol the trash of eon versation In any age survived past bedtime With the result that to. day, lacking any positive evidence ol mstorie twiddle, we are apt to won der i there were ever before such dismal babblers as the chimee age quaintanee of the restaurant or the lady behind us at the theatre, The art of conversation is dead, we say at once, without pausing to reflect that even at the old Chesshire Cheese uniess Doctor Johnson happened to be there, it might often have been difficult to discover two grains of wit In two bushels of boresome chafl Lhe art of conversation, ft Is true, has undergone a change, This Is an Age of specialization; soclety has not the same common interests that |i once had, One has to choose one's conversation more carefully, The man today who talks convinelngly and well at some function of business men might be quite tonguestied in the presence of art lovers, Many a man Is regarded as a conversational dul lard merely because he happens to be a member of 4 group to whieh he does not "belong." He will be lively enough and Interesting enough when he gets back among the regular fel lows whose interests in life are broadly the same as his own, The art of conversation to-day Is not dead; it is more specialized, A ---------- | Bits of Humor | HIS MUSICAL ABILITY "I understand the boss Is very mus CARLY D, BROWN, NATION.
