REPRESENTATIVES IN 1).8, Powers and Stone Inc., New York and Chicago FRIDAY, APRIL 11, 1930 ODD JOBS FOR THE WORKLESS a In the spring there is always an abund- ance of odd jobs to be done around the house and the garden, There are carpets to be cleaned and beaten, storm windows to be dismounted and window screens put in place, cellars and furnaces to be cleaned out, gar- den refuse to be disposed of, gardens to be dug, and scores of other jobs which can be done by the casual laborer, That is one side of the picture. The other side is that there are scores, perhaps hun- dreds of citizens who could well afford to pay for having these jobs done, or who find it impossible to devote the necessary time to do them for themselves, In this lies 4 splendid opportunity for the more fortunate of Oshawa's citizens to give « material help to the unemployed, There are hundreds of men in the city who would be only too glad of an opportunity to earn a few dollars by casual employment. The cost to each individual having work done. would not be great, but in the aggregate it would amount to a considerable sum, and would bring a large measure of relief to men whose families are in dire need. Citizens who are fortunaté enough to be able to have this work done for them can help their more unfortunate fellow-citizens inn very practical manner by co-operating in this plan, The slogan of "Give a man a day's work" would be a splendid one under the present conditions, and would help to save many families from appealing to char- ity, These men are willing and anxious to work, if given the opportunity, and that op- portunity can be provided by ull citizens who can employ a man around their home and garden for even one day telephoning to the government employment office, No, 547, and registering their needs in the way of help, That is a practical plan for helping re- lieve the unemployment situation, How many will show their civic patriotism - by adopting it? THEY MADE A MISTAKE The aldermen of the city of Toronto have taken an ill-advised step in voting them- selves substantial increases in their salaries. In Toronto, it is admitted that the aldermen should be paid for their services, but the in- crease was made without any thought of asking the citizens to vote on it, Nothing was sald of the proposal during. the election campaign in which.they were elected. They simply took 'matters' into their own hands, voted themselves moré money, and set back with the attitude of "the people be hanged." This kind of thing is vicious in principle, because. it, ignores the right of the people to say how much they will pay their repre. -sentatives. In Oshawa, the matter was put to. a vote, and it was defeated: The people are satisfied, and there has been no ocm- plaint from 'the aldermen, In Toronto, the aldermen went ghead, caring mothing for what the people have to say about it, and more than 'doubled their salaries. There i8 already a Violent reaction against this de- cidion, and the probabilitiés are that those aldermen who voted in favor of the increase pill have much for which. to answer when @ next election comes along, ©, .., The jlierease is all the more opén to. cri i cause it was made at a time when nditions in Toronto were by no means sa- afactory. The thousands of unemployed _ in/Toronto will not look with much favor on _ the action of the dldermen in increasing the "cost of salaries by an amount of $30,000 a wear. It would have been much better for city as & whole had the time devoted to a discussion pf the higher salaries been given .gver to consideration of some schemes » Whereby employment could be provided for the workless. Pils bi MUCKRACKERS OF YOUTH . The ' Hamilton Beard of Education de- : serves gratitude for dem at an : ist" recently anne of a soul campaign in that city, prove statements made by him with regard to the young people attending the city's technical . These staten - made under the 'gover of an absurd pietism, would, if differs ently treated, result in the banning of any imported fiction magazine of the "Truth at All Costs" variety. y There is a type of mind, not always evan. gelical, that cannot bear happiness of any sort; and since youth, in .despite of adult pessimism and tyranny, still remains trium- phantly happy, it is, ever so often, subjected to a witch smelling by whatever lewd mind has the impudence to start it The chief quarrel of maturity with youth is not a matter of morals but of tact. The unsuccessful are the ones who insist on de- ference, the un-respectable exact the forms of reverence. And if deference and rever. ence are lacking, the aging failure's first and fast line of defence is an accusation based on morals or the lack of them, And in doing so, they forget that all mor- ality is, at the root, a matter of fair play, tolerance, and understanding; all of which are ignored in such attacks as the Hamilton evangelist has launched against young peo- ple of that city, who, doubtless, are as vir- tuous as he is in action; certainly, cleaner in mind, THE ANSWER TO BEAVERBROOK The decision of the Australian government to impose heavy super-taxes on a large num- ber of articles which have to be imported by that country might very well be regarded as * the answer of Australia to Lord Beaver. brook's movement for Empire free trade. At the time he launched his United Empire party, it was stated quite strongly that his scheme could not succeed, because the over. seas dominions would not agree to it, Aus- #tralia has shown quite clearly that it does not regard any kind of free trade as con- ducive to her best interests, and that is her answer, Were Canada asked for an expression of views, it would probably be along the same lines, © This does not mean that Canada should do as Australia has done in the way of imposing super-taxes, but there is prac- tically no sentiment in this country. in favor of free trade. It may be all right as an ideal, but for practical purposes it is admittedly hopeless, so that, even if Baldwin has ac- cepted the Beaverbrook doctrine, he has done $0 knowing that it cannot be put into effect," RECKLESS VISITING MOTORISTS Hon, G. S, Henry is on the right track in seeking to make arrangements with various states of the United States so that it will be possible to curb reckless driving by tourist motorists, There have been many cases in which United States motorists have, by reckless driving, figured in accidents, but have enjoyed immunity from suspension or cancellation of their licenses because of the fact that they were beyond the jurisdiction of Ontario laws in that respect. Motorists fear cancellation and suspension of their licenses above all other punishment, gave, perhaps imprisonment, and the mak- | ing of an agreement whereby United States (®motorists, would be liable for this type of penalty would have a decided effect in pro- moting a greater observance of the laws of careful and common-sense driving. EDITORIAL NOTES Radio sets are something like locomotives, They whistle at every station, Qur idea of a man who has little ingenuity is. the fellow who persists in repeating the wise cracks of "Amos and Andy." Now is a good time to have odd jobs around the house and the garden attended to, A few hundrell jobs of that kind spread over the next few weeks would help many of the unemployed workers, Stock market prices have reached a new peak for the year, Now watch for the sud- ole" slide the other way. There will have to be a great change in the weather if the hoardwalk fashion par- ades are to be worth seeing. The Conservatives are anxious for an el- cetion. No wonder when the Prime Mine ister furnishes them with splendid ammuni- tion. A gusher in Oklahoma was brought under 'control after a' week's hard work, Some of the gushers at Ottawa can never bé brought under control, "Shoot the Crow" is a slogan with which most people will agree. Edward Beatty, president of the C.P.R,, is strongly in favor of the St. Lawrence Waterway Development. = His word should carry a considerable amount of weight. One crop which is likely to be normal this year is the crop of June brides, Money is the stuff most people are after, yet millionaires declare it does not bring happiness, It used to take three generations to make a gentleman, Now it only takes a bit of luck on the stock market. ft The Indian government is working on the theory that if it gives Gandhi enough rope he is sure tb hang himself. . . Other Editors' Comment FRESH AIR FOR ALL 4 (London Sunday Pictorial) Evory healthy man and woman ought to live to be 100 years old, according to a French doetor, who is himself ninety-eight, Centenariang are wont to attri bute their longevity to thelr in- dulgence in or abstention from this or that article of diet, but this vet- oran finds the secret of his long life in plenty of fresh air and ex- orcise, Tho' few of us can normally ex- pect to reach our hundredth birth- day, we can all benefit by this sage advice, Modern business conditions make for more and more concentration of population and factories in and around our large cities. But sen~ sible townplanning and regulations against pollution of the atmosphere by smoke or noxious fumes can. at least enable uy to make the most of the healthful benefits of sun shiné and fresh alr, CANADIAN BOOKS (Sherbrooke Tribune) Many a man will pay fifty or seventy-five cents for some trashy American magazines, because he cannot make up his mind to buy a single Canadian hook. Often en- ough, moreover, these are the very people who on every possible oc- caslon proclaim their patriotism and their attachment to the things of thelr own country, Either they ary utterly Insincere or their taste is pitiably deformed. The very real efforts of our writers to en- dow our country with a rich lter- ature, solid and diverse in charac ter, deserve better treatment than this. TRUSTING STRANGERS (Niagara Falls Review) The merest glance. at the news of the day must convince one of the amazing fact that some people who have worked hard to make and save money are willing to en- trust it to people about whom they know nothing, for projects which cannot bear inspection. There are many men in every community cap- able of giving sound advice on the Investment of savings: yet al- most continually one hears of money being given to smooth spoken strangers who offer marvel- ous returns. : PRIME MINISTER HUMOROUS (Kincardine Review) Possibly one of the most. laugh- able bits of repartee so far at the present session, came from the lips of the prime minister. The only lady member in the House had sug- kested the subject tariff be taught in our university, The Phime Min- ister, in reply, sald: "Suppose such a chair were established at the University of Toronto, which is supported by Mr. Ferguson's Goy- ernment, I do not think I would like to have Mr, Ferguson educate my son resecting tariff any more than the proposer of this motion would like him to interpret the tariff to her daughter." When it is remembered that Prime Minis. ter King Is a confirmed bachelor, and that the lady member is Miss' MacPhall, the subtle humor in the remark is relished. SAFE DRIVING (Galt Reporter) There ought to be a standard | course ot instruction for new driv. ors, in which they would be thoroughly drilled in the vital re- quirements of self driving. Ninely-five percent of all motor. ing accidents are caused by human delinquency. Careful drivers of wollbalanced mentality and normal physical endowments seldom figure in motor-car accidents, If the public could be educated to the necessity of perpetual watch fulness against accident the casu- alties of the streets and the high- ways would show a gratifying de- crease, A new atomizer for killing in- | sects with poison resembles an au- tomatic pistol and is cocked by pressing the handle and discharg- ed by pulling the trigger. Bits of Verse THE EXILE'S LAMENT Along the wall the shadows fall, The sunset sky glows red, The joyous bird no more is heard, The want on winds are fled, And all too soon the silvery moon Mounts in the spacious sky, When it shall part, a heavy heart Must sadly say good-bye, Through distant lands, o'er foreign strands, . My footsteps now must be, But though I roam so far home, Home-visions will I see, ARION from REAWAKENING The Wintry winds are blowing, The snow is drifting past; Inside the fires are burning. Wa do not resl the blast, The gentle Spring is coming With {ts bursting buds and leaves, When we'll hear the robins neste ng In our splendid maple trees, The maple leal's the emblem Of this noble land we own; We'fs peace within our border And plenty in our home.

The birds are returning and everywhere we see evidences of Spring that most beautiful season of the year, It is Interesting to note how many birds you can recognize and put down in your diary when you first saw them, It is also time to start getting your bird houses up so that they will weather out a little before thelr prospective tenants arrive to inspect the property. it a house is too new the birds will often not use it, so get them out as soon as possible, There is also that feeding tray which you have been figuring on for so long. Now fis the time to get it out, tor food is still scarse and the birds are not having any too easy a job procuring their dinners, On your hikes from now on, you should watch for your "firsts", The first: wild flower, the first tree in leaf, and the first time yon saw a ground hog. All these things make your ram- bles more interesting and it is sur- prising how many things can be learned, Photographing the various birds and wild creatures is also another pastime which gives quite a thrill, and success in this line is only the result of patience and persever- ance, One thing that a Bcout mever does, is to use a catapault on our feathered friends. Bach year we hear stories of boys who in their desire to test their skill with catapault or rifle, shoot down birds who are tending their young, This thoughtless cruelty not only brings death to the elder bird, but often results in the young birds starving to death, It would be a good turn by any Scout to discourage the manufac- ture and use of these catapaults, as these are not only dangerous to birds, bit very often the cause of {njury to innocent human beings On our rambles around the City on Baturday afternoon Wwe saw signs of hikes from the Sth and the 4th Troops, and we believe we caught a glimpse in the distance of a 2nd Troop Xneckerchief. The 8th Troop were able to per- form a Good Turn on their hike when they pushed a motorist out of a deep mudhole. On Friday last the Gth Troop held a Mother's night, At 7.30 p.m, the Mothers ar- rived with their boys at the Y. M, C.A "The meeting was also houored with the presence of Field Secty. Jones from Provincial Headquart- ors who was accompanied by Hon. Fleld Secty W. Lemmon of Toronto. The Mothers were shown how the Becout meetings were run and the kind of games indulged in, Both Mr. Jones and Mr, Lemmon assisted in the games, . During the evening William Cantwell was invested as a tender- foot. At 8.45 p.m. refreshments were served at which time a financial re- port for the last year was read by the Committee Treasurer, Mr. P. B. McEwan, and the Committee Chairman Dr, Langmaid, along with Committeeman L. Wood, who prepared the refreshments, were introduced. This was followed by a short address by Feld Secty. Jones, and a few remarks by the Scoutmaster, at which time, the Assistnnt Scout- masters R, Way, H. Hutche- son, and H, Biles were introduced. The meeting ended at about 9.15 p.m. with the usual Flag Lowering and player. During the course of the even- ing, several bird houses and col- loctions made by the boys, along with some wood oarvings made also by one of the Troop were on view. An Aeroplane model also attract od a great real of attention, Sth Troop.--~The Fifth Troop will meet on Friday next in tho Y.

In a small community such as Thornton's Corners, it becomes dif- ficult to find a large enough num- ber of boys to keep a Troop run- ning, and unfortunately, thls is what has happened in this case, It is with a feeling of deep re- gret that wo see the passing of this Troop, but we hope that in the near future it will be revived again and that in the mean time, all of thoso associated with the Troop will either connect themselves with the Lone Scouts or with other Troops in Town, The Fifth Troop delivered the : play from their Troop Council at the Banquet of the 1st Thornton's Corners Troop on Monday last, The annual banquet of the 2nd, Troop will be held in the North Simcoe St. United Chureéa on Fri- day of this week. Great preparations have been made for this event and the even: ing promises to be a gay one. The cast of the play was as fol- lows:--Patrol der ----- Donald Miller; Second --- Reg. Richards; Tenderfoot Billy Brown --- Bill Bridges; Four Scouts -- Lloyd Harding, Fred Little, Bill Drake, and Jack Mountenay; Two Poach- era--A, 8, M. R, Way, A. 8. M.

During the course of the play, Jack Mountenay played t guitar solos and Bill Drakq bave & mouth organ selection, whilst both Bill Drake and Gene Kearney played thelr mouth organs for the Camp Fire Songs, . THE WOLF CUBS OF OSHAWA The people of Oshawa here and read various things about the Boy Scouts and the work they are do- ing, but they do not seem to have much khowledge as to what a Wolf Cub Pack Is or what it stands for, For the benefit of Mothers and Fathers of this city that take an interest in the welfare of their boy, 1 will try and give some in- formation regarding the Cubs, ~The Cubs are a junior organiza- tion of the Boy Scouts Association and the ages are from 7 to 12 years, They meet in various halls once a week, and are taught by efficient Cub masters the right road to good citizenship. Discipline is one of the first things the boy must learn and rowdyism 18 mot known fn the pack. The boy is taught Handy Craft, First Ald, Cleanliness, .

THE 18 DAY DIET There is nothing that has attract- ed so much attention on the part of overweight individuals as has tho '18 day diet' sald to have been frst used by a Hollywood film actress, Magazines, and practically every nowspaper, has printed this diet for its readers. That it has accomplished brilliant results in many cases has been amply proven, HS is the foundation of this diet? Simply substituting meat or eggs [for the great amount o fstarchy ! food now eaten by the majority of | individuals, | Of course grape fruit is also a big factor because, aside from giv- ing a bulky appearance to the diet, it overcomes an acld condition that might be set up by eating so much beefsteak, lamb chops, and eggs. further, using tea and coffee at evory meal, acts as a stimulant go that many who would feel weak from want of food, are buoyed up until the next meal comes round. The use of Jettuce and tomatoes frequently, and olives, radishes and celery occasionally, gives the sys- tem the mineral salts and vitamins necessary for the proper consistency of the blood and tissues. A little baking soda daily ,a half teaspoon- ful, is helpful in many cases, For the average individual of average weight, foods should be eaten in the proportion of 1 of meat or eggs, to 2 of fats (milk, cream, butter, fats of meats) to 4 of starches (bread and vegetables,) whereas the 18 day diet, and in the diet suggested by Dr. J M, Straus, Pittsburgh, the proportion is 2 of meats and eggs to 1% of bread and vegetables, to 1 of fats. The idea behind these diets i» that if the individual does not eat much starches and fats, these dre supplied to hig system from his own body and thus his weight is reduc- ed. His strength is maintained by meats and eggs, which as you know are used by the body to repalr tis- sue that is worn out, Eggs may be eaten boiled, poach- ed or raw, meats boiled, broiled or roasted. No fried foods. Vegetables prepared without milk ing lettuce, cucumbers, spinach, as- paragus, = celery, tomatoes, caull) flower, radishes and cabbage.

Another measure relating to the canals was passed by the scnate, but referred to an assembly committee upon receipt in the Lower House, The measure calls for construction of a ship canal from Lake Ontario to Troy and the deepening of the Hudson river from Troy to Albany, the terminal of the deepened water- way from thz Atlantic.
