FRIDAY, JANUARY 31, 1930 A NEW ERA OF SUCCESS The holding of the annual meeting of the County of Ontario Children's 'Aid Society in the new chil- dren's shelter building last night marks a new crd of service for this wopth-while organization. Through the generosity of a number of citizens, headed by J. D. Storie, who donated the site, a splendid new building has been erected, one which will provide for the needs of the community, it is to be hoped, for many years to come. An outstanding feature of the meeting was the re- port presented by the superintendent of the Chil dren's Aid Society, O. M. Alger, in which an n= sight was given into the many problems of child care and welfare with which he comes in contact in the course of his work. It seems almost incredible that 'there should be so much neglect on the part of parents of their duties to their children, yet in the year's work, no less than 1,311 children were involved. The work of investigating the conditions with which these children were surrounded formed the great part of the superintendent's duties, and qualified him to make some very pertinent observations as to the causes underlying the trouble in so many homes. Just as has been the case in the juvenile court, Mr. Alger has found that the chief reason for chil- dren coming within the scope of the Children's Aid Society has been the utter failure of parents to reals ize their parental responsibilities. Having brought children into the world, they do not seem to feel that it is their duty to provide them with the com- forts and necessities of life to a sufficient. extent. Worst of all, they fail to accept the responsibility of making the home surroundings such as will be con ducive to the development of healthy mentality, and at the same time they pay no attention to how their children spend their hours outside the home. In trying to correct these conditions, and by so doing to give these children a fair chance in life, the Children's Aid Society has a great work to per- form. It fs well that there are citizens who are keenly interested in its welfare to the extent of giv- ing of their time, their energy and their money in the cause of the little children. It is by the self- sacrificing efforts of these people that the society is able to continue its labors. ,It js through their generosity that it has been provided with the new building that will be a great asset to the work of saving child life for Oshawa in the future, The report of superintendent Alger is a document worthy of study, It reveals responsibilities which lie on the shoulders of the community as a duty in the direction of making better citizenship for this city and this country. The Children's Aid Soceity is do- ing a work of untold value in this connection, and, with its new equipment, it will tec] encouraged to g0 on to even greater endeavors, THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL HAS ACTED Yesterday's action on the part of the attorney- general of Ontario, in ordering the arrest of ten prominent Toronto brokers, members of four differ- ent firms, is proof that his department has not been altogether asleep on the matter of stock market in. vestigations, While the arrests may have come as a surprise fo the general public, it is not likely that "those within the iter cifcle shared that surprise, There have been so many rumors of unsatisfactory conditions in regard to stock market dealings that action was inevitable, and the firms which have been involved include some of the most prominent con: cerns operating on the exchanges. The warning of Attorney-General Price to the pub- He, issued in conjunction with the announcement of the arrests, is timely. The stock investigation has . hed sq many ramifications that confidence in the whole fabric of the exchanges might easily be shaken, The public, however, can feel assured that the action 'which has been taken is prompted by a desire to. pro- tect their infersets. One firm has made an assignment, © and that may have a still further effect on the situa- tion, but, on the 'whole, there should be satisfaction because of the determination of the attorney-general to clean things up. | That, after all, is the main essential." There is a strong feeling, probably well-founded, that every-. thing has not been right in the stock business, and that irregularities have been going on. If there have been 'flagrant violations of the laws of the province, then 'punishment should 'be meted out accordingly. But the main objective of the government, and of © all those officials who are in any way involved. must © be to clean matters up so thoroughly that it will not be possible to haye a recurrence of this situation. « That, and that aoclne, will satisfy the public mind; and will restore the confidence that has been rudely shaken by the events of the last Tew weeks, i A thrown at him. THE VETERANS' REUNION The gathering of Great War Veterans in the Gen- eral Motors Auditorium last night came as a reve- fation to many of those who were privileged to be present as guests, Few people had any idea that so large a number of war veterans were resident in this city and district, for the attendance ran into several hundreds. , The gathering, in itself, showed that the old spirit of comradeship which animated the fighting forces of the Empire in time of war is by no means dead, and that it is a valuable asset to any community wich is fortunate enough to have any large body of sere vice men in its citizenship, The Canadian Legion, which sponsored the event, is to be congratulated on the great strides it has made locally in recent months. This is probably due to the high standard which it has set for itself, There was a time when organizations of ex-service men were not regarded with a great deal of favor. With the merging of all of them into the Canadian Le- gion, a new day has dawned, and that organization, by its sane and constructive attitude on all problems' with which it deals, has won for itself a splendid measure of public support. And that support will continue so long as the organization continues to conduct its affairs as 'they are being conducted at the present time. THE DICTATOR DEPOSED One of Europe's dictators has given up his job. Primo de Rivera, premier and dictator of Spain, has decided that he has reached a good stopping place in his career as the one-man ruler of his country, and has resigned. In one sense, he has shown good judgment in that he knew when he, or his country, had had enough. They are rather hot-tempered peo ple over in Spain, and had he stayed at his job of dictating much longer, his head might have dropped in the basket. Primo de Rivera's rule was inaugurated by a mili- tary coup, through which he secured the reins of power by .reason of the support of the army and navy. For six years he carried on, giving good enough government, as it goes, but dependent on the army and navy to keep him supreme. Now the army and navy have deserted him. His last minute ap- peal to them, as to whether he should remain in power or resign, brought no sympathetic response. These two bodies were apparently just as tired of his dictatorship as everybody elsc in the country, so the dictator had to pack his grip, and set out on the hunt for another job. Dictatorships, at the best, are but insecure things, This is true in spite of the apparent succes of Muss solini as the supreme figure in Italy. It must be re. membered that even he is dependent for his power on the loyalty of his Fascisti armics, and the niinute they decide he has ruled thent long enough, he will go exactly the same way as De Rivera, But, after all, it has bekn a useful experiment that has ended in Spain, It proves, does it not, that the old saying that one could not fool all the people all of the time is still very true. BELOVED TEACHER DIES The death of Mr. Robert James McKessock has removed from the teaching profession a valued mem- ber, and from the community about Solina a staunch and highly respected friend. Greater than all is the loss suffered by the children whom he taught, and to whom he was ever the wise counsellor and guide in the affairs of their young lives. Practically all of Mr. McKessocl's teaching life was spent in the lite tle school at Solina, near Bowmanville, where he was the whole staff. On the twenty-fifth anniversary of his engagement, which was suitably celebrated, the parents of his little charges urged that he remain; as they put it, for another quarter-century, and this he was quite prepared to do, but illness and death ended the arrangement. Mr. McKessock was the Canadian embodiment of the Scots dominie whose fame has spread to every clime. He farmed a bit of land near the school, and thus kept his pupils keenly interested in agriculture: as a life-work., He read widely and thought deeply along many lines; and he had his own methods of teaching. He would not force his younger pupils to study arithmetic, leaving that for later years, but it is on record that none of his boys or girls failed in that subject at their entrance examinations; and he did not want in his school any children under 7 years. Mr, McKessock could have had many more important posts, from the point of view of a suc- cessful career, than the little school at Solina, but he decided to do his work in this less public man- ner, and at the close of his useful life he is mourned as a good citizen, a faithful friend, and a well-be- loved teacher.~Toronto Globe, A VALUABLE OFFICIAL The town of Gananoque thinks a great deal of its former mayor, W. J. Wilson, known all over Ontario as "Billy" Wilson. This year he retired from the inayor's chair after eleven years as mayor and twen- ty-five years of public service, And when he retired from the mayoralty, the council appointed him public- ity director. More than that, the citizens presented him with a purse of money so that he could take a little holiday jaunt to Florida. Although they sent him to Florida for a holiday, the people of Gananoque are taking no chances on being deprived of the value of his services by acci- dent or mishap while he is away. The publicity eom- mittee has placed a $50,000 policy for accident ot sickness on him, Now there is a fine tribute if ever there was ones It shows that his colelagues realize the valuable nature of the work he has been doing and will continue to do provided he is spared sickness or accident, And it does any man good to know that his service on behalf of his community is given so high a valuation by those with whom and for whom he is working. EDITORIAL NOTES Spring must be getting nearer. A number of seed catalogues came in the other day. The admirals are having very little part in the London naval conference, but then they could hard- ly be expected to favor naval limitation. A man who stole the money of widows and others is not worthy to be called "poor Tom Brown." The Stratford paper is right in calling this kind of stuff mawkish sentiment, When a man is sentenced to jail for inany months for the theft of a leg of mutton wherewith to féed his family, he gets none of this oa O ther Editor's Comments BEER BY THE GLASS (Chatham Daily News) Undoubtedly Premier Ferguson gave a true interpretation of the sen- tument of this province when he told a recent deputation that he will not sanction the sale of beer by the glass b the people are opp to beer parlors. At the present time this province is still in the process of "testing out" a system of government sale of lig- uor, and until it is at least firmly es- tablished as an effective temperance measure, the people are in no mood to loosen up the restrictions, and make the sale of liquor easier and more general, On the other hand the people of Ontario are looking to Premier Fer- guson to make good his promise gi- ven in the last election, to tighten up the restrictions and bring the en- forcement of the liquor laws up to a more perfect standard. BOOTLEGGING IN THE STATES (London Free Press) No person has any sympathy with bootleggers who have become million. aires and multi-millionaries as .a re- sult of the Volstead Act, Every right-thinking person would be glad to see this menace to civilized society wiped out, However, no seroius attempt to curb bootlegging has been made in the United States. The enforcement service is rotten with corruption and vice, whose ramifications extend into the fields of high politics, KING GEORGE ON THE AIR (Detroit Saturday Night) Something is radically wrong with our stage Englishmen in America almost as wrong as the stage Yan- kees who appear in English theatres. Who has eves seen an Englishman in caricature on the American stage without a ridiculous accent? Yet the head of the English nation has no accent at all, True, the radio an- nouncer in London the other morn- ing spoke of the naval conference as meeting in the house of L-a«w--d-s; but when King George came on the air his pronunciation was so devoid of any peculiarity as to surprise most of his American listeners. He did speak distinctly, Every syllable was precisely uttered, not a letter was slurred, and the words were sufficiently spaced to' prevent them from running over each other.

Body of 4 Pours By James W. Barton, M.D. As a youngster reading Robinson Crusoe, Swiss Family Robinson, The Mysterious Island and Twenty Thou- sand Leagues under the Sea, I thought how wonderful it would be to live on a tropical island where there was always the water, the trees, the birds, the fruits and the warm climate. I thought that life would be a daily round of delight, As I grew older and welcomed the Autumn after Spring, the cold and buoyant weather of Winter, and the sunshine and warmth and signs of carly growth in Spring again, I real- ized that in living' in a temperate climate, a climate with a real change of seasons, I was really more for- tunate than the inhabitants of a tro- pical island. Physically there is not much to do, because there is no need to labor, everything is easily to hand and with no physical labor or desire to work there will be a 'softening' of your whole muscular system. There is not the inclination to work that you find in the cooler climate. TPurther the warm moist air of the tropics does not stimulate the mak- ing of rich blood, blood rich in hae- moglobin or iron, In the dryer and higher climates the air has a little less oxygen, and this seems to serve notice on your blood making machinery to turn out more and richer corpuscles. } Thus you get the benefit of this extra supply of rich blood if you re- main in the temperate climate. And as to food; although you can get the tropical fruits and vegetables, | luscious and nourishing as they are, the dict nevertheless becomes mono- tonous. In the temperate clime you get a variety of food because all the world produces is brought to your door, and this variety, this tempting of the appetite by change of food, is the greatest stimulant to the flow of di- gestive juice as has been ably de- monstrated by Dr. W. N. Boldyreff. "The monotony of a life on a tro- pical island would also affect you mentally. Human nature needs and so demands a change. There is vo demand upon your mentality. You do not have to do work that demands Your work is not of a constructive nature to interest your mind. Now why am I writing about the advantages of a temperate climate? Because sometimes we get our childish ideas and dreams again, and wish that we could get to the great land of the South, of the warm wea- ther, and the tropical fruits. An oc- casional trip to the South if your] nerves are wrought up might be be- neficial because the warmth and the moisture take away all desire for mental and physical effort and this laziness may be just what you need. However the temperate climate with its changes of season is best for you mentally and physically. (Registered in accordance with the Copyright Act.)
