Canada sent 144 ath- Ietes and officials to Europe at a total cost of $90, 000.00. This was an effort not reached by any other nation. True, Great Britain contributed over 300 athletes and officials, but the cost did not exceed $45,000, while the effort of the United States, en- , tailing expenditures of $400,000.00, was not so signi« ficant when full comparisons aré made as has been done in the printed report of the Canadian Olympic Committee, 1925-1929, just to hand. The 200-page report is the most comprehensive ever issued by any Canadian Committee. Not only are the official summaries included, but many inter- esting tables have been compiled. The complete story of Canada's participation in the Winter Games at St. Moritz and the Summer Games at Amsterdam is told by the various team managers. Fifty pages of illustrations, with 140 reproductions of Olympic scenes, teams, athletes and officials, on coated paper, form a big feature of a very interesting publication, The book also contains the history of the Interna- tional Olympic Committee; the story of the ancient and modern games; the financis! statement of the Canadian Committee; and niany other interesting items. It has been prepared under the direction of M. M. Robinson, Hon, Secretary of the Canadian Comfnittee, who has covered the ground most thor oughly, and is a credit, not only to him, but to the Dominion of Canada as a whole. FRIDAY, JANUARY 17, 1930 A HEALTHY SIGN This is the season of the year when the majority of churches are holding their annual congregational : meetings for taking stock of the progress they have made in the last twelve months. It is of particular interest to note the reports of the various churches of Oshawa which have held their meetings. These reports give cvidence of growth, of increased mem- bership and interest in the churches and more gen- erous giving towards the causcs whicF re the par- ticular care of the churches. This is a healthy sign in any community. When more and more people are taking sufficient interest in the better things of life to become members of its Christian churches, it means that the spiritual life of the community is being extended and enriched. There are too many people who, in these modern days, take thc attitude that the world ts going all syrong, and that people have neither the time nor the inclination to take an interest in the affairs of the church, : ' Yet the reports point to exactly the opposite state of affairs. It may be true that people do not attend church as faithfully or as regularly as they used to do, although even that is open to question, but there is an assurance that increasing numbers of church people are coming, within the ennobling and elevating influence of church membership, and are in that way helping to create a better community for themeslves and for others, The churches are to be complimented on the pro- gress they are able to report, because it shows that they are filling a greater part in the lives of the eitizens as individuals, and in the life of the com- munity as a whole, as the years pass by. IGNORANCE SOMEWHERE Many villages and townships in Ontario are find- ing themselves at the present time without legally elected councils. One of the places, incidentally, is the village of Newcastle, the Whole council of which elected on January 6, has been declared 'disqualified because of their failure to comply with the new regu- lations which require cvery candidate to produce a certificate that 'his taxes were paid, and also to file "a declaration of qualification to hold the office for which he is a nominec. In many places, this regulation was not complied with, and as a result new clections will have to be held, causing a dislocation of the business of the municipality, and a waste of its funds, for even vil- lage and township elections cost money. It is unfortunate that so many men who ought to be informed have been found so ignorant of the law that they did not comply with its requirements as to their qualification for office. One would imagine that even if the candidates were not aware of the con- ditions laid down, the municipal clerks ought to have known, and ought to have made sure that every candidate wishing to qualify complied with the pro- visions of the act in full. 'That is one of the tunc- tions of a municipal clerk, to sec that the business of the municipality is carricd out in accordance with the statutes, so that, judging from the number of dlections declared Aull and void, there must be a great many municipal clerks in Ontario ignorant of the act under which clections are conducted. It is to be hoped that the many situations of this kind whieh have developed in the last two or three weeks will be a warning to both candidates and clerks in future to inform themselves as to the provisions of the act, so that there will be no more confusion such as has developed this year. ---------- _ NO BEER BY THE GLASS Premier Ferguson has sensed public opinion cor- rectly in his retusal of the request laid before him that the sale of beer by the glass be legalized in On. tatio. In refusing this request, he did so on the ground that there is a tremendous amount of public opinion against such a measure, and that for that "season he did not feel justified in holding out any fiope that the request could be granted, ; . Mr: Ferguson is on safe ground in making this de- cision. The bars hayc gone from the province of Ontatio, with 'the many evils attendant upon them, "and there should be no relaxation of the laws in the 'direction of brin ing them back. Of course, those interests rite oo the sale of beer by the glass 'would probably claim that they had no intention of 'bringing back the bars, but this request can be re- gorded as the thin end of the wedge to bring back Y en and more unrestricted sale of liquor and i beer and wine in Ontario than is possible under the re faw. 'If anything, there should be a tightening of the : instead of a relaxation uf its provisions. 'Rather than making it easier for people to 'secure beer and vine and liquor, the law should be aménded so to ' AMATEUR DRAMA The St. Thomas Times-Journal, in an interesting and timely editorial, makes reference to the activi- ties of 'many societies at this time of the year in the preparation and presentation of plays. Pointing out the benefits of this work to those taking part in it the Times-Journal issues a word of warning, and urges that care be taken to Select, where possible the work of some dramatist whose work is of an out- standing character, rather on the commoner type of play which depends on the rusticity of the characters and on long descriptive names for its humor, In closing, it says: "A play or quality, well staged, will linger as a pleasant memory for a long time. But a shallow production, no matter how cleverly presented, will soon be forgotten." This naturally leads us to point out how well the Oshawa Little Theatre is living up to the require- ments set forth by the St. Thomas editor. Since its inception, its aim has been to present to the people of Oshawa plays of the highest character, and to stage them so well as to leave a lasting impression on its audiences. How well it has succeeded in this is evidenced by the enthusiasm of those who return time and again to see the Little Theatre productions, which aim, above all to entertain, and if in enter- taining it can lead the people of Oshawa to cultivate a taste for the best in drama, it is serving well the touble purpose for which it exists, NOTHING WRONG WITH THE DOMINION The Dominion Bureau of Statistics has issued a splendid little handbook entitled "Canada, 1930," which is a perfect encyclopedia of present conditions and recent progress in the Dominion, The editor is R. H. Coats, Dominion statistician, an old Clinton boy, who has brought the Dominion Bureau of Statis- tics to its present high state of efficiency. If there is any information one wants upon any subject in regard to the developnient of the Dominion it is to be found in this handbook. Ir there are any people who have the blues in re- gard to Canada, they might well peruse this little volume. Even the best informed of us hardly ap- preciate the progress Canada has made this century. For instance, in 1901 the total value of the field crops of Canada was $237,682,285, and last ycar $980,- 986,000. Again in 1901 the total value of our wheat exports were only $60,871,939 and in 1929, $428.524,320. Qur exports at the beginning of the century weré $177,431,386 and our imports $177,930919, a total of $355,362,305. By 1929 the total foreign trade had reached $2,629265,763, the exports being $1,363,586, 672 and imports $1,205,629,091. The total bank de- posits in 1901 were $349,573,327, and last year this had grown to $2610,594,865. The total life insurance in force in 1901 was $463,769,034, and by 1929 life insurance totaled over $4,600,000,000, And so the story goes. The figures tell an impressive story of the progress of Canada, There is nothing wrong with the Dominion, EDITORIAL NOTES Surely out of all these discussions of peace and disarmament great things for the future will be ac complished. Oshawa's civic bodies are now organized for the year 1930. May their work in the year which lies ahead do much to advance the welfare of the city, ---------- Rev. Dr. McMullen, the veteran minister who en- tered. his 100th year a rew days ago, says a man should find pleasure evén in his work. But that is not the only pleasure he should have in life, It is said that talkies are going to be cheaper in the near future, Most people are under the impres- sion that talk is too cheap as it is. In spite of the flood of modern literature being dumped on the market, the Bible still remains the world's bestescller. There's sme hope for the world after all, A German inventor claims he will produce an aero- plane that will travel 2000 miles an hour. Even that, however, would not satisfy some of the car drivers we see on the roads. Toronto board of education is providing $20,000 to provide hockey rinks tor school children. This is in addition to the rinks provided by the civig parks de- partment, And Oshawa cannot even provide an open-air skating rink on a vacant lot, to be used free by the kiddies, There are two sides to every question, and there are two sides to a sheét of flypaper, and it makes a * difference which side one chooses.

Garvin, in London Observer) It is certain that Mr. Lloyd George is going to be one of the biggest na- tional forces of the future, We are ourselves of the decided opinion . . . that the national situation cannot now be saved without him, and that he will come right to the top, We do not say next year, though even that might be. But we do say that Mr, Lloyd George at sixty-six is qui.c as young and quite as vital as was Mr. Gladstone before entering on his strongest years of action; and that his Midlothian campaign has yet to cone, A BIT LATE (Toronto Telegram) There 1s a voice crying in the Que- bee wilderness. It is the voice of Mayor Houde calling for a system ol public ownership of electrical energy on the lines of the Hydro in Ontar » But M. Houde appears to be a bit late. After all the sources of power and all the markets for power have been monopolized by the power barons, it would seem that a public ownership enterprise would have neither place to stand nor get off at. However it 15 a voice raised in a good cause. It 1s a tribute to the Ontario Hydro from the hotbed of private ownership, It is also a direct denial to those oft-repeated claims, emanating from Montreal, that elec- tric energy is sold cheaper in Quebec than it is in Ontario, THE LONDON CONFERENCE (Round Table) It is difficult to exaggerate the sig- nificance oj the conference which wul assemble in London in January to try to reach an agreement for the limitation and reduction of naval ar- maments. Though the formal delib- crations of the conference itself' will presumably be confined to strictly naval issues, the fact that it is held at all, the cahracter of its personnel, and still more the political discussion between 'the Governments which its meeting implies or will initiate, wil make it by far the most important international conference which bh been held since the sessions of th peace conference in Paris in 1919, | Bits of Humor | The hardboiled captain naa knocked one of his sallors over- board.

And there is no cheaper way of obtaining lime than in the form of skim milk. Skim milk also contains sugar for heat and energy, for the body to do its work, and also contains t.c water I hl | soluble vitamin necéssary to promote growth. Many cooks find skim milk effect- ive and economical in making' sauc- cs, soups, puddings and so th, and any lack of fat can be fhade up by adding a little butter, Many children, and adults also, cans not take milk because the fat it con- tains seems, to upset the stomach. Here also the skim inilk is particular- ly valuable as it is so casily digest- ed. Skim milk is not so constipating as whole milk, and this should be re- membered by parents who insist on their youngsters drinking large quan- tities of milk daily. The fact also that skim milk is deficient in fat, makes it combine well with foods that are naturally rich in fat, that is cocoa, chocolate, cheese, dnd other foods. Now the thought is not to have my readers substitute skim milk for whole milk, Whole milk is perhaps the best all round food. But skim milk has everything else in it ex- cept the fat, and when you remem- ber that the farmer feeds it to his little pigs and the baby specialist to young infants, it must be a real body building food, As you know protein substances, meats, eggs, cereals, and so forth are splendid foods but rather expensive; skim milk is about the cheapest food obtainable.

D. Knowles and the United States Fidelity & Guar- anty Co, a $25,000 action will be in- stituged this afternoon against the city, it was learned during the regu- lar coungil meeting last evening when a4 communication was received from t!.: firm of Calder, Perverne & Duck ett. A motion that "the communication be received and filed," male by Al- aviman Dupuis, was not welcumed by Alderman Cohn who retorted that "correspondence of this sort is too serious to simply file away. We should take action," Alderman La- fleur seconded Alderman Cohn. Al- aerman Garrity stated that "in view by C. H. TUCK, Opt.D. (Copyright 192) In' youth the focusing power of the eyes to adjust vision from dis- tance to near points by the act of accommodation ig much greater than in later life. In looking at distant objects the normal eye do'®: so without effort but to see near objects the eyes must be adjusted by a contraction of the ciliary muscle which permits the crystalline lens of the eyc to take on more curvature of a con- vex nature. This adjustment fis termed "Accommodation." The child ean hold objects very close to the eye and still see clear- ly, but as age advances a normal is Jost and the act of accommoda~ tion gradually becomes more diffi- cult and finally impossible, This loss of accommodation is called Presbyopla (old sight) and shows itself by the desire to hold read- ing farther and farther away from the eyes, Preshyopia 18 not an error of re- fraction or an eye defect in the ordinary sense. The most perfect eyes must pass through this nor- mal depletion of focusing power. It is as common as sight itself and it follows therefore that no normal eye can enjoy good vision indef- initely for reading or other close work without the assistance of glasses to take the place of the focusing power that has-been lost. With the use of the invisible hi- 'ort lenses mo generally used the presbyope does not suffer in econ- venience because he may have with such zlasses both distant and near vision.
