New York and Chicago SATURDAY, JULY 5, 1980 JULY ELECTIONS Ever since the date of the election was announced, comments have been made on the uni'sual decision to hold it in July.' The oph ion has been expressed all over the coun- try that-an election in mid-summer, when 80 many people are away from home on va- cation, will result in a much smaller vote than if it had been held at any other time of the year. In this connection, the Strat- ford Beacon-Herald has been doing some in. teresting research work, and it has discov- ered that, since confederation there Rave been very few summer-time elections. : , The first two elections after confedera- tion were conducted on a system whereby voting was spread over a period of some weeks, the 1867 election dating from August 7 to September 20, and that of 1872 from July 20 to October 12, These years were the only ones in which there was a really close approach to a July election, and in only one year, 1896, was the election in June, the vot- ing in that election being on June 23. April and May have been entirely overlooked in fixing election dates, for since 1867 there has never been a federal election in these months. . There has been one in aJnuary, in 1874; one in February, in 1884; one in March in 1891; one in August, in 1878; two in Sep- tember, in 1911 and 1926; two in October, in 1908 and 1925; two in*November, in 1900 and 1904, and two in December, in 1917 and 1081, 0: ap : This record shows that prime ministers have shown a great partiality for the fall months, and have, as a rule, steered clear of the summer vacation season. This will make the voting on July 28 all the more interest- ing from the standpoint of the percentage of the possible vote polled. THE NEWSPAPER BOY Few people give much consideration to the little chap who, day in and day out, rain or shine, warm or cold, delivers to them their daily newspaper. The newspaper bay has become a vital factor in modern life, is an essential part of the newspaper organiza. tion, but to most people he is only one more boy, only the person to be criticized and con- demned if he happens, once in a while to be late with the paper. Thus it is interesting to see the newspaper "carrier boy glorified by an editorial written in his honor, and published in the columns of the Ottawa Journal, in which the Journal points out that the very fact that he is a newspaper boy is going to have a great in- fluence on the quality of his manhood and: citizenship in after life. The Journal's edi- torial is worth quoting, and here it is: "Like most people who work, these carrier boys are intent primarily upon 'earning money, but-after all the fin- ancial return is only a small part of the benefit which is theirs. At an impres- sionable age they receive an invaluable - preliminary education in business prin- * ciples, in pangiusiey and regularity, in courtesy and honesty. They are taught to be thrifty and industrious, and to E THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, JULY 5, 1930 cradles in its beautiful branches the vivid sunbeams that danced and played among its: leaves through daylight houts. bs hd Trees, no matter what kind they may be, have a fine dignity that impresses us Airset: ly we see them. And each tree-family. hi its own proud lineage going back through "the centuries to the world's beginning. | Knowing this, how then can we mere mortal beings bring ourselves to jnjure them?

Ontario has no such law. Quebec's law in that re- gard came into effect a little over a year ago. This makes a comparison of the rec- ords of the two provinces interesting. In 1928, Ontario had 71 pesans. killed at railway crossings. In the samé Jear there were 89 killed at crossings in Quebec. Then the compulsory stop law came into effect in the French-Canadian province. In 1929, there were 78 people killed at crossings in Ontario. In Quebec, in' 1929, only seven were killed in the type of accidents.

They simply mean that the province of Quebec has virtually solved the problem of safeguarding life at railway crossings, while Ontario is not willing to follow the splendid example of her sister province and adopt similar legislation. But it has got to come. Scarcely a week passed without at least one fatal accident being recorded at » crossing in Ontario. In Quebec, such occurrences are now very rare--only seven being ed in the whole of 1919, Surely 'tha reco should. be sufficient to convince the Ontario minister of highways 'that the Quebec. law is a good one, and that a similar law in On- tario, properly enforced, would greatly re- duce the terrible toll of life taken at the level crossings in this province. EDITORIAL NOTES "We have entered an age that is thirsty for knowledge."--Raymond B. Fosdick, New York, Less horsepower and more horse sense on the highways might reduce the number of accidents.

And yet the man is not himself, is not the man he was when he enlisi- ed, and finds it very difficult to do the work he did before he went over- reas, often having to take work that is less fatiguing mentally and physi- cally, Now I know it is difficult for the Board to estimate this disability but as a matter of fact it is present just the same as a broken leg, or a heart ailment. In everyday life we see nervous breakdowns where the individual has been under any strain. Many indi- viduals who have gone through seri- ous disasters have never been the same afterwards, whether it has been fire, earthquake, or shipwreck That this affects the ductleds glands is now being proved, particularly the thyroid gland in the neck, and the adrenal glands situated one on top of each kidney. By effecting the thyroid gland in the neck the heart becomes rapid, and sometimes irregular, * There is nervous indigestion, and sleeplessness. The various processes, of the body seem to be driven to work faster, When the adrenals are affected therg is a slight mental disturbance such as fear or other unusual sen. sations, Now. these glands work in har. mony with the other ductless glands, acting with or counteracting one an. other, so as to maintain a mental and physical balance. Thus when they are®upset as by the shock or stress of war, there ds bound to be some effect upon the body and mind. Fortunately governments (which after all are the people) are recog: nizing these cffects and these cases are now being treated more fairly, Rest of mind is a.big factor in the treatment, (Registered in accordance with the Copyright Act.)

He would now be on his way to freedom but for the curiosity of Vietor Drown, keeper-chauffeur. who thought a pile of mattresses suspiciously it had been on his truck looked lob-sided although twice inspected by other guards.

The reduction in runs from 70c to $2 per 1,000 feet, was officially announced in an ordor-in-counefl, Whereas the fromer stumapge dues on white pine, oak, walnut and hickory were $5 per 1,000 board feet, it 4s $3 per thousand under the new rates, while on tamarac, maple, yellow bireh, basswood, ash, elm and red pine, the new rates are $2.50 per 1, 000 as compared with $3.50 for- merly. On spruce, jack pine, bal- sam, cedar, hemlock, aspeh and poplar thé new stumpage rates are $2.00 per 1,000, against $2.70 formerly. These. rates will apply only to timber cut for saw-mill purposes, and returns from Quebec lumber companies must be accompanied by & sworn declaration that the timber {8 used as sawn lumber only.
