New York and Chicage "& THURSDAY, JANUARY 30, 1930 MAKING NEW CANADIANS . "he movement which is on foot to have a large group of the Ukrainian residents of Oshawa natur- alized as Canadian citizens is both interesting and gratifying. It is all the more a matter for congra-~ tulation that this movement is being directed from Svithin their own ranks by those who are already en- Joying the privileges of Canadian citizenship, and who are anxious that their compatriots should have the same privileges. +«Aw has been stated before in these columns, Osh- awa has good rcason to think well of its Ukrainian colony, On the whole, they are law-abiding people, with their 'own. religious institutions and their own culture. They are taking a keen interest in the edu- 'gation of their children as Canadians, and are in every way anxious to become worthy citizens of the country which they have adopted as their own, One of the difficulties in the assimiliatoin of foreign immigrants into Canada has been their own indiffer- ence to the duties of citizenship in their new coun- try. In many cases, there has been a desire to set- fle in colonies, to continue the customs, habits and traditions of the country from which they came, and no effort to bring themselves into conformity with Canadian laws and usages." Where a condition of that kind exists, a real problem is created. Oshawa is fortunate, however, in that, having a certain population of people from Europe, this large on. js, desirous of becoming full-fledged citizens' of Canada, accepting the responsibilities which thet involves; and playing their part in the development. i; Golf This spirit is a commendablé one, hotild be. welcomed by the rest of the commun- Sith: ¢he open hand of fellowship in the citizen- the éity which houses us all PEDESTRIANS AND TRAFFIC SIGNALS Three recent accidents in Toronto, in which pedes- trians, paying no attention to traffic signals, were in- jured, one fatally, have called attention to the dis- regard which many pedestrians have for. the red and green lights which appear at intersections in all int cities. In these cases, the pedestrians wventuged to cross an intersection against the red 'light, and were struck by motorists. Under the trai- fic laws, these motorists are not held to blame for the accidents, since they were strictly observing the regulations ate that a human life should have to be forfeited, and two other persons injured, in order to call attention 'to the effect of traffic signals on pedestrian traffic. Pedestrians probably like to feel that they have the right of way at street crossings.

A MOCKERY OF JUSTICE In Hamilton a few days ago a two year old baby died of pueumonia. Medical evidence showed that it had been cruelly beaten not long before its death, it 2 and the child's father admitted to the police that on the night before this poor, suffering mite of human. ity passed away, he had thrashed it with a strap. It carried to its little grave the marks of this bru- tality. Then, to complete its suffering, the child, was dropped on the floor by a woman who had charge of it, and the hemorrhages this brought on caused its death. 4 Everyone who read of this must have been hor. rified at the cruelty of this unnatural father when he appeared' before the magistrate to answer for his deeds, he was given a sentence of a paltry' two months in"jail. Two months in jail -- for beating with a strap a tiny infant within twenty-four hours of its death, Was there cver such a mockery of justice. least that any reasonable person could have expected was that he should have been given a good dose of the same treatment as he meted out to.the innocent little victim of his brutality, The excuse will be made, of course, that he was given the maximum term allowed for a charge of common assault, to which he pleaded guilty. - But it would be interesting to know by what stretch of im- agination the officers of the crown allowed' them- selves to be content with calling a crime of this nature "common assault." It is no wonder that peo- ple become disgusted with administration of justice when a man of this type is allowed to escape with a two months' sentence for what was little short of a murderous assault on a child close to death's door. "HE NEVER MISSED A MEETING" John R. Dargavel, a former member of the On- tario Legislature, and for 57 years clerk of the town- ship of South Crosby, died at his home at Elgin, a few days ago. In telling the story of his career, it was noted that for fifty-five years of his service as township clerk, he never missed a meeting. That is quite a record. One can imagine of no more fitting epitaph for a man holding an office of this kind than the simple sentence, "He Never Missed a Meeting." There is a good deal mixed up in these five words, Yet): The', . J Other Editor's Comments' i THRIFT gal) inneapolis Jou A financial writer advises the peo- ple to save one-fifth of their income.

ENGLAND WILL COME BACK (Boston Transcript) Epgland has been in crisis many times, but has always surmounted its difficulties in one way or another, The stars in their courses, seeming- ly, fight for her--which is but anoth- er way of saying that her people are unrivalled in the world in intelli- 'gence, in: industriousness, in resource, in enterprise. It was kngland that staged the Industrial evolution which transformed the civilized world. There is no reason to sup- pose that the great qualities we have named. are extinct in England, in Scotland, in Ireland, By just what means British intelligence and Brit- ish enterprise may hope to turn pro- found adversity into a new and gen- eral prosperity, no one can say. Ii the present - Lapour Government should be able to find this means, it will gain lasting renown and enor- mous political prestige. At this dis- tance the task seems beyond human achievement. Industrially, commer- cially, England has taught the rest of the world to do business. She seems now to be in the perilous and generalship to the rest of Europe. But it is too carly to say "England is done." If she regains her econo- mic 'position she will, after all, be only repeating history. Bits of Humor They include a devotion to duty and a scrupul care in meeting obligations that are worth having in any man. And they show, too, that Mr. Dargavel must have been blessed with that robust good health that comes ofily from a clean and wholesome life. The fact that he was 84 years old when he died, and that he died as the result of an accident, is further evi- dence of this. "Mr. Dafgavel has passed on to his reward, but "he will live long in the minds of the folks of his township. They could hardly help remembering him. To hive served them so long is in itself sufficient to make him remembered, but to have his record, that he never missed a meeting for fifty-five years, must surely have earned for him a lasting place in the minds and hearts of those who labored with him in municipal work. NEW YORK AND THE COMMUNISTS New York is like Toronto. It i having quite a lively bit of trouble with the Communist elements in its population. And New York is trying to be like Toronto in its methods of handling these agitators, On this page appears an editorial from the New York Herald-Tribune, dealing with this question, and giving some lurid details of peace battles with the Communist agitators. In one. case, a Communist was shot and killed by a policeman, and the Communisip were given their first American martyr, The Herald-Tribune does not agree with this me- thod. of dealing with the Communists. It believes, and there are many others who believe the same thing, that the best way to deal with the. Com- munists is 10 ignore them, to let them talk them- selves out. This is the common-sense way of looking at things. After 'all the Communists are looking for just the kind of publicity that is given to riots with the po- lice. Were-it not for the police activities, little would be. heard of them. As the Herald-Tribune saysi-- "New York City takes little interest in its Communists, They are a noisy, unimportant group. But New York has traditions of toler ance and decency toward any and:all human , beings. The Communists, however, 'mis guided, have rights like the rest of us; the same constitutional guarantees surround them and the eity expects the police to treat them as they would: any other of «xitizens with a grievance, If they are disorderly and make public nuisances: of themselves, they can be arrested; but it is not necessary to knock a man down, kick him when he is down, or beat him senseless in order to make an arrest." : Anyone in this country, reuding that comment, would at once jump fo the conclusion that it was a Toronto Star editorial dealing with the Communists riots in Toronto a few months ago, so aptly does it fit info the Toronto situation, ..

"Be quiet," whispered his counsel. "l won't be quiet," he returned. "My lord," he exclaimed, "I can't even deceive my'own wife, Jet alone twelve women, I plead guilty." POLITE IN EXTREMITY The courteous self-control of the well-trained boy is pathetically illus- trated by a story from Punch: Mother--O Bobby, you naughty boy, you've been smoking! Poor darling, do you feel very bad? Bobby, who has been well brought up--~Thank you, I'm dying. KEPT IT DARK A young man went into the min- ister and told him with a very long face that he had seen a ghost. "Where, and when?" lhsked the pastor. "Last night," said the timid man. "T was passing by the church and up against the wall of it, did I, without the shadow of a doubt, behold a spec- tre." "In what shape did it appear?" in- quired the pastor. *It appeared in the shape of a donkey," replied the man. "Go home and hold your tongue about it," rejoined the minister. "You are a very timid man and have been frightened by your own shadow."

Fortunately, we have few of them in America; but the recent tactics of the New York police have given them a notoriety beyond their deserts. Three small groups of Lett Wing, or Communist, workers in New York City have been on strike for some weeks and the police, have broken up their picket-lines with what has ap- peared to be unusual vigor, One burly, smiling, Irish policeman can usually keep a hundred strike pick- ets moving with no difficulty. But inate black-jacking, Several men were knocked unconscious; women and children were jumbled and tum- bled; excited policemen even chased spectators whom they took to be ommunists into subway stations and Fostauiants a block or two from City all, Let it be conceded that such Com- munists mean to violate the law and are in search of martyrdom. . They are skilled in the arts of irritation and insult, But it does not seem to us too much to ask that the police of this cosmopolitan city should be equally skilled in the art of self-con~ trol and not less ingenious in avoid- ing violence than these would-be martyrs are ingenious in inciting it. Handling a mob tactfully with a max- motorcycle corps and extra d have been used to quell the Com- munist strikers, and the result has been, as far as outsiders can deter- mine, a new enthusiasm for the pick- ct-lines. Communists not immediate- ly concerned with the strikes have found adventure, and sometimes dan- ger, on the picket-lines Finally, ten days ago, a Communist mob seized a patrolman's nightstick; he drew his revolver and shot one of the pickets, apparently in the back. The man died; the Communists had their first American martyr. The Communists announced that they would hold a protest meeting on Saturday on the steps of the City Hall. A few hundred of them ap- peared; an almost equal number of police were on the scene, determined to prevent their protest. When the first speaker raised his voice the small of bluecoats charged the crowd, usiastically that they caught pa # spectators unawares, All the newspapers report indiscrim- imum of accomp t and a mini- mum of force seems to us an essen-| tial equipment' of the police in this crowded city. New York City takes little interest in its Communists, They are a noi unimportant group: But New York City has traditions of tolerance and decency toward any and all human beings. The Communists, however misguided, have rights like the rest of us; the same constitutional guar- anties surround them and the city expects the police to treat them as they would any other group of citi znes with a grievance, If they are disorderly and make public nuisances of themselves they can be arrested; but it is not necessary to knock a man down, kick him when he is down, or beat him senseless, in or- der to make an arrest. The perform. ance at City Hall Park was a dis- grace to the police administration, and the responsible officers who per- mitted it to occur should be identified and disciplined, H. W. MANAGER OF (WASH.) STAR, SAYS: "Did you ever stop to think of the importance of a .live, aggres- sive newspaper to your commun- ty? "Nothing ean do the work of newspapers except newspapers, "The service of its newspapers to a community is vial to its pros- perity and progress. This is so true that it may be said that the big- ger, better and stronger mewspap~ ors a city has the better off that city will be, and it naturally fol- lows that the same applies to every resident of that city. "Newspapers are of necessity the civic leaders, "On them falls the responsibility of clarifying and crystallizing public thought and opinion so that the big, important measures which are essential to progress can, be successfully car- ried thru. "The newspapers' strength, pros- perity and ability to serve the community depends in the long run on the support it receives from the advertising it carries. News. papers, costing thousands of dollars a month, are sold for a few cents per copy or per weck because of its adveritising receipts. "Phe better results a merchant gets from his newspaper space the more of it he will use, and the more he uses the better paper you will receive. "IT IS PERFECTLY CLEAR, THEREFORE, PHAT YOU.

It is quite logical then to consider that where the condition would indicate that the pigment was lacking a tinted lens would be of material benefit. Child 2 years of age fair haired not white or flaxen and blue eyes given to lateral (horizontal) Nystagmus from birth, I tried to avold glasses until 3 years of age but in six months time he de- veloped very heavy meibomian cysts which did not go but Ine creased until operated. When the wound was healed I examined by static and dynamic skiametry and corrected a slight amount of Hyperopia and gave a tinted lens and the case quieted down in a few weeks, and now several months has gone by and the cysts do mot recurr and there is mo indication of the Nystagmus, It mey be true that the child will, grow out of it if they do there are reasons but the very im- portant one I think les on the lay- ing down of the pigment cells in the human body. Why take the chance? If the person grows to adult lifo and the percentage of pigment necessary is still anatomi- cally deficient the condition may become fixed due to the child hav- ing rotained perhaps simultaneous vision and not binocular, vision, having never acquired the fusion sense because of the Nystagmus Seating an improper offort of fixa- on, : TOURIST TELLS OF LIFE IN DUTCH EAST INDIES Natives of Bali Had Terrible Customs, Vancouver Man States \ Victoria, Jan, 30.--Because of the custom of the natives to burn alive the widows of tribal royalty, The Netherlands have gained pos. session of one of the richest islands of the East Indies, according to Har- ry C. Ostrander, who returned here recently from a tour which took him to Fiji, the Tonga Islands, Su- matra, Siam, Cambodia and Cochin- China. "The Island of Bali has a popula- tion of a million people and it is immensely rich," recounted Mr. Os- trander. "For years the Dutch tried without success to gain possession of it. It is the custom on the Island of Bali--or rather it used to be--to burn alive all widows of kings and princes. When one of the princes died his widow, fearful of her fate, escaped and took refuge on one of the Dutch islands. The Dutch in- tervened in her behalf, and éventu. ally took over the Island of Bali. The princess, incidentally, is now a wealthy land owner and one of the most influential women on the isl and." Mr. Ostrander found that Sumatra was developing rapidly. He was much' interésted in the Bataks, whose favorite dish at one time was missionary. "The Batauks used to eat their grandfathers{too," said the traveler, "When the old man had reached a certain agej/he was requir. ed to climb a palm tree and fall from the top, this being symbolic of the fall to the ground of over-ripe fruit. The old man was then set upon by younger members of the tribe, killed and put in the pot. The missionaries objected to this practice and several of them were slain and eaten for their opposition, The Bataks now have to be satisfled with dog meat.' "A peculiar habit of thé Bataks is to file the teeth of women of mar riaggqable age. This is done in the market place, the teeth being chip- ped with a cold chisel and hammer.
