REPRESENTATIVES IN U.S, Powers and Stone Inc., New York and Chicago SATURDAY, JUNE 7, 1930 FOR THE CRIPPLED CHILDREN The Rotary Club of Oshawa is now en- gaged in another great effort to raise funds 'for a worthy work, the care and treatment of the crippled children of Oshawa and dis- trict: They have already spent thousands _of dollars in this work, and there are many .children in this community who have been ~pelieved of their handicaps and have been "given a chance in life by the interest taken in their cases by the Rotarians. That work "costs 'a great deal of money, for it usually involves hospitalization, surgical and medi- «cal treatment, artificial appliances of vari- ous kinds, "and special training. Yet the " Rotarians, by their own efforts, and with the co-operation of the people of Oshawa, Have carried on 'this effort for the last few years. : ; This work must still be carried on. Cases which need attention are continually being brought to light, and it is the motto of the Rotarians that no crippled child shall go without attention. Funds are needed to garry. on this work. and so a mammoth fair fid carnival is being organized, to be held beg ary Park on June 18 and 19, and on that occasion the Rotarians seek the co-op- eration 'of the whole community in making their efforts a success. If for no other rea- "sof 'than 'that this worth-while work may be continued, the Rotary effort should be given the whole-hearted support of the eit- izens, so that the club can go on and bring hope and gladness to the hearts of the many children, who, by reason of physical\defects and handicaps, have no other chance of a life of usefulness and self-support. [frie ---------- "STILL SERVING Members of the Oshawa Brarch of the' Canadian Legion are doing an excellent piece of service bythe part. they aré taking in the erection of the central building for the Kiwanis Club boy's camp. service has been freely given, and is mugh appreciated by the Kiwanians. ' Yet it'is only an evidence of the determin- ation of the wat veterans of Oshawa to con- vince the people of the community, if they need convincing that their motto is still "Service." . They speak with reluctance of their service in the country's time of need, and they seek only the opportunity of being able to: give similar service as civilians. Their co-operation with the Kiwanis Club is one of this spirit which animates them, and it shows that no matter what call may be made upon them to perform a service for their community or their country, the war veterans will ever be ready to respond. INSULTING THE PEOPLE'S INTELLL- - GENCE NE Ja In every election campaign there are speakers on both sides of politics who make : ats and assertions which are little short of being insults to the intelligent peo- of this country. One hears them at all ds of meetings, and the surprising thing 'is that he peopls who have to sit and listen to them d 1 . _3Me hears political grators their opponents have no consider- gh welfare of the country, that is to gain power or stay and: let the people go to the dogs. stuff for the rabid partisan, ¢ man who likes to think for him- eer t vot.

And they know that so doing can they hope to merit the gs, FT i . to claim that the 'party to : his opponent belongs is out to ruin insult to the in ¢ g i i i 2 | : : i! 85 I 7 so without voicing strenuous ob- - fellows with a sin- |. Canada's: highways are attract men into public life who have been honest, honorable, sincere, and whose, lives have been devoted to promoting their coun- try's welfare. The present generation is no different from any others in that respect. In all political parties, the men at the head of affairs are men of the highest honor, and men of sincere and honest purpose. True, they differ as to policies.. But it is the right of honest men to differ honestly in matters of policies, and simply, because an opponent does differ in viewpoint, that does not mean that he is a crook or a robber. So let us have, in this election campaign, a fair and straightforward discussion of policies énd is-" ~ sues, without descending to the level of mak- . ing wild assertions that those on the op- posite side of the political fence are men lacking in the essentials for useful public service. AUTO ACCIDENTS AND "LITIGATION The majority of civil actions heard in the Supreme Court at Whitby this week by the Honorable Mr. Justice Logie were the after- maths of automobile accidents. As a matter of fact, courts everywhere for several years have been cluttered up with litigation aris- ing from this same source. The advent of the automobile has meant more grist for the legal mills, increased fees for members of the bar and decreased sav- ings on the part of many a motorist. = With the number of automobiles and trucks increasing, it, is hard to figure how the conditions enumerated can be improved. Some time ago a suggestion was made that a special court for the hearing of ac-. tions arising from automobile accidents should be set up, on the ground that it would greatly relieve the congestion existing at every session of Supreme, County and Div- jsion Courts throughout the country. The suggestion has been favorably received by many members of the legal profession and before long it: is not improbable that a move to set up this new court may be made. There is as much need for it as a court constituted for the hearing of mining cases only, which has been in existence for many years, with plenty to do, particularly in Northern Ontario. ALWAYS READY News of the fire tragedy in Northern On- tario meant for most people a realization of the danger of forest fires which is ever pres- ent in the north country. It meant the read- ing of a story which gripped the heart, and left one full of sympathy for those in the stricken area. But that was all. To the Canadian Red Cross Society and its devoted band of workers, however, it meant a great deal more than that. It meant another opportunity for that self-sacrificing service for which the Red Cross Society is noted. Alréady its officials have taken steps to meet the needs of the settlers who have lost their homes and belongings as a result of the fires. Already it has set its organization in motion to meet any emer- .geney which may arise. Brought into outstanding prominence by its war work, the Canadian Red Cross Soc- jety is once again demonstrating that its peacé-time activities are just 'as valuable, and just as necessary. Wherever the call of need of its services may bo heard, it is ready and willing to respond, and Canada is fortun- ate in having an organization that can take the field in an emergency such as that creat- ed by the forest fires and render valiant service. Thus the Canadian Red Cross Soc- jety not only justifies its existence, but al justifies the claim which it has upon the support of the people of Canada.

TOWN AND COUNTRY (Beverly Times) » A man who is' running a farm in an outlying town remarked a few days ago, that it seemed strange to him that many people are reported as unemployed in some cities, when out in his place he found it almost impossible to get any good worker to help him. JAY WALKERS (Edmonton Journal) City police traffic' department's check-up on' jaywalkers continued Friday and 104 persons were stopped and interrogated by officers as a re- sult of crossing streets at improper places. Each was given a warning.

Men willing to work cannot be left to starve, To tide them over temporary crises a sys- tem of insurance, based on con- tributions from the' government, Yom the employers and the -em- ployed, has been devised.

Barton, M.D. MECHANICAL CAUSES OF CONSTIPATION If you were to ask your doctor what symptom he found most fre- quently in all the different ailments he treats he would tell you it was constipation. I have spoken before of a phys- fclan connected with a large clinic who stated that constipation was a symptom in over 70 per cent. of the patients admitted, In looking over advertisements in newspapers, periodicals, and maga- zines, perhaps the most widely ad- vertised remedies are for the treat- ment of this complaint, In fact the conditon is so com- mon that paraffin oll prepared in an inviting manner and prepara- tions of epsom salts algo, are being taken daily by thousands of indiv- fduals just as regularly as they eat or sleep. Others are eating all kinds of laxative foods, bran, flax seed, raw fruits, coarse breads and so forth. Now that constipation interfers with the mental, physical, and even moral health of the individual 1s only too true and rather than allow it to so effect the system. it is only common sense to use methods above mentioned.. However, some- times there are actual mechanical causes for constipation, #nd 'when the conditon is always present it would be well to consult your fam. fly doctor, instead of trying to treat yourself. The use of strong pur- gative drugs, and course food may so irritate the lining of stomach and intestines that serious conse- quences may ensue. And when you do consult your doctor ask him to make a thor- ough examination instead of pres- cribing some remedy other than the one you have been using. When a patient complains of a sore throat, bronchitis, heart at- tacks, or shortness of breath im- mediately the doctor examines the throat, the lungs or the heart; but when he complains of constipation some suggestions regarding diet and a laxative is prescribed. No examination is. made, Now just as a sore throat has a cause or other condition has a cause, so also has constipation andj that cause should be looked for. Of course most cases of constipa- tion 'gre due to lack of exercise, and often because of thé soft diet used, but sometimes thére are other cauges, Dr, Dudley Smith points J. | out over a dozen causes of eonsti- pation that could be found if the patient and doctor were willing to investigate, including prescura from othier organs, stricture, adhesions: weak abdominal muscles and so forth. (My thought fis that if you are getting plenty of bending exercises walk considerably, and eat some rough foods daily, you should not have constipation, If you do, then there is some reason, and you should help your doctor try to find And weep with them that weep!" it.

(Copyright 1933) / Part "23" When it is a common fact that these conditions may arise in our lif it is just as natural that we should think for the children whose young eyes may be, defective and strained unknown er unsuspected by their parents, teachers or themselves, Civilization has definitely affected eyesight by creating new conditions and new defects and it keeps science busy keeping pace with the times in producing the proper meaus of cor- recting the new conditions, Many of those who at present are forced to wear glasses constantly had they been corrected in early life would only have worn the glasses for a short time but 'because they neglected themselves their defect became a physical disability more pronounced, more fixed. ? It is possible that your inability to focus all your mental power on your work is due to your eye condition. It is also possible that this weak- ness in the eyes is a defect secondary to some physical disability elsewhere which when properly adjusted will allow nature to properly take care of the eye weakness, during this time, however, the correction to the eyes is essential and should not be re- moved or. reduced until the eyes ap- pear more normal under examination. (To Be Continued) re -------------- ITALY'S 1930 NAVY BUDGET IS PASSED Total of $77,680,090 Ap- proved By Chamber of Deputies Rome, June 7.--The Chamber of Deputies, by a vote of 274 to 2, has approved the Navy Depart. ment's 1930 'budget totalling 1,- 475,966,000 lire (about $77,680. 000) The vote was preceded by =a speech in which Minister of Navy Guiseppe Sirianni outlined the year's construction program . and the speed with which the Italian naval shipyards can turn out new warcraft, Referring to the France and Italy to agree on a fleet ratio at the London Naval Conference, Admiral Sirianni said that "the possibilities of resuming negotiations have not disappeared." "The principle of parity is the sole formula, giving us a reciprocal guarantee of security," he added. "It was on. the same principle of relativity that England and. the United States found a fair settle- ment of their naval problem." Sirianni sald the 1930 budget was 243,600,000 lire greater than that of last year, 'The increase, he explained, Included 139,000,000 lire for modernizing old warships, The budget also includes 600,000,- 000 for building new ones, Now Being Bulilt He asserted that warcraft now being built or equipped include tour 10,000-ton cruisers and six 65,- 000-ton cruisers. Five scoutships and five mid-cruise submarines are undergoing tests, he said, while eight destroyers, 15 ~ submarine chasers are being constructed. Sirianni said the cruiser Fiume was launched only 10 months after the keel was laid, while the cruis- er Zara was completed in "two months less, compared with the us. ual two years for building such craft previously. No other country in fhe world is exocuting such large orders for foreign navy departments as Italy, he declared. Italy's orders from other countries include two eruis- ers, eight destroyers, six submar- ines, four gunboats and a number of submarine tenders, involving 600,000,000 lire for Italian indus- try. The country also is supplying torpetloes for several navies of the world he said. The 1930 program gives a pre- ponderance to submarines, which Sirianni sald, "are necessary to our defence." France Interested Paris, June 7. The Itallan Chamber's passage of a $78,000, 000 naval budget caused the great- est interest in French circles, par- ticularly because it was precefled by a debate in which Italy was painted as still seeking parity with France. Although no comment was forth- coming immediately, observers re- called the semi-official Temps' re- cent statement that Italy's naval policy was "indefensible." Meantime Premier Andre Tar- dieu was preparing a careful speech which he will deliver to the public Sunday at Djon, In the. address, which he will submit to the Cabinet Friday he is expected to set forth France's position to the world, in answer, to the warlike speeches re- cently made by Premier Mussolini, of Italy. War Minister Andre Maginot, re- viewing Colonial troops at Algiers recently; declared "we are prepar- ing to defend our country without thnking of aggresison, We are fot thinking of provoking anyone, We only wish to assure France's secur- ity." THE QUESTION AT ISSUE A' successful business man was glving an address on "Commercial Acumen" to a class of students. In speaking of his career, lie mention- od a certain company that had been failure of wound up on account of its shady practices, "Of course," he said, "as soon as T realized there were possibili- ties of dishonest profit being made 1 got ow®* &f it."

W. L. Hall, At- torney General of Nova Scotia, in addressing the graduating class of the Nova Scotian Technical College this year, when nineteen students completing at Tech their scientific courseg begun at six eastern Uni- versities, were admitted to the ranks of graduate engineers. With one exception, the entire graduating class of the Technical College, drawn from the affiliated ingtitutions of Acadia, St. Mary's, Dalhouse, King's and St. Francis Xavier, will remain 'in Canada to engage in their profession. More that one-half the class will take up their work in the Maritime Pro- vinces. This, Mr. Hall pointed out, was in marked contrast to the record ; set in the past, when the complaint was made that nearly all the youth of these provinces migrated to the Uunited States and other countries to earn a livelihood. While this year's class was nor- mal in numbers, said Principal F, H. Sexton, over 200 students were now preparing in the science class- es of the affiliated University for the studies in which these 19 men had graduated. In order to keep pace with changing conditions, the Technical College had Introduced general economica, Industrial or- ganization and management as courges to prepare its graduates for taking their part in the revitalized industrial life of the Maritimes, In a recent analysis of the loca- tion of the former students, infor- mation was obtained by Mount Alli- «on University to show that of 7,000 graduates of that institution whose addresses are now known, 5,559 or over 82 per cent. are in Canada, with 1,068 In thie United States. Furthermore, of 194 students grad- uating since 1926, only 36 have crossed the border. US. CAR BUILDERS FEAR FOR MARKETS Intention of British Firms to Invade Canada Causes Misgiving Detroit, Mich., June 7.--Au- nouncement that British motor manufacturers are planning to in- vade the Canadian market was seen in some automotive circles here as aimed not only at the Canadian home market, but pos- sibly the Australian motor business as well. Canada has provided the leadiy export market for the Unitg States motor industry. At the sae time its present automotive pn duction is largely accounted forie subsidiaries or affiliates of Unis States automobile companies, as tralia recently increased the imito duty on automobile bodies, fhe and :ssembled chassis, and# action is expected tc curtai volume of exports from the UJ States to that commonweal British mapufacturers estaB¥; ed in Canada, however, as mé bers of the Empire would be gran ed preferential rates, and it is not impossible that the Australiac market could be taken away from the United States, 5 Inasmuch as approximately one- third of all the automotive exports from the United States are taken by the British Empire, the Cana- dian and Australian markets are important to the American auto- mobile industry. Of the 68 foreign assembly plants operated by the United States industry, 10 are in Canada, 10 in Australia and six in England. Many, if not all ot these assembly plants, were estab-' lished to escape high duty on com- plete cars. European producers, now are understood t6 be demand-<! ing and receiving ligher fates on! gutomotive parts, thus discowhting, mich of the advantage formerly gained through foreign assembly. Canadian production in 1929, according .té the national automo- bile chamber of commerce, totalled 207,496 passenger cars and 55,797! trucks with an estimated value of $156,861,212, A little more than half of the production was export; ed from Canada. i however; ACADIA WILL GO AFTER NEW FUND Wolfville, N.S.---~Two announce- mentg of importance to the Mari- time Provinces and supporters of Acadia University were made by President F.
