Powers and Stone Inc., New York and Chicago WEDNESDAY, JULY 9, 1930 HIGHWAY EYESORES For the last two or three years there have been innumerable protests against the sys- tem which permits large and unsightly bill boards to be erected and maintained along the highways of Ontario. These have been universally condemned as eyesores, which rob the visitor in search of scenic beauties of 'the privilege of enjoying the best that On- tario has to offer, because so much of the view is shut off by these unsightly boards. There 'is, however, another type of high- way eyesore which should be given govern- mental attention. All along the main high- ways are to be found hundreds of miserable little shacks, liberally bedaubed with paint and signs announcing that 'hot dogs" are for sale. On the main travelled roads, these have become an abomination to the lover of natural beauty. Service .stations and re- freshment stands are a necessity to touring motorists, but that does not include the type of 'horrible, unsightly wooden structures that are being thrown together and are a blot on the Ontario landscape. One hestitates, of course, to suggest any- thing that would interfere with legitimate business, but if people wish to erect premises for that kind of business, they might at least try to erect something of a respectable ap- pearance, so that the sensibilities of those who delight in scenic beauty might not be grossly offended. THE IMPORTANCE OF VOTING. It should hardly be necessary in an en- lightened country like Canada to use any urging to persuade the electors to use their franchise in a federal general election. Un- fortunately, it is necessary, for there are few elections in which more than fifty or sixty per cent. of the possible votes are cast. There are always, in every constituency, 'hundreds of people who do not take the time nor trouble to'go to the polls on election day. ". For that reason, it is difficult to secure 'what is really an adequate expression of the 'will of the people of Canada. Candidates 'may be elected by majority of the votes cast, "but by a minority of the possible vote in' their riding. ' Perhaps, if steps were taken to remove from the lists those people who neglect to 'use their franchise, public opinion would be stirred up on the question. Those who re- "fuse to vote might be the very ' people to . make the strongest protest at their right to vote being taken away from them. Yet, when they have it, they seem to regard it very lightly. The election of July 28 is an important one. It will decide the future destinies of Canada. Surely that is something of suffi- cient importance te 'make every person whose name appears on the list of voters go to the polls and vote, even at the cost of per- sonal inconvenience and sacrifice. ON-TO-THE-PEACE 'A few years ago there was an organization in Western Canada known as the "On-to-the- Bay Association," Its primary object was to secure the completion of the Hudson Bay Railway, which, it believed, was essential to the full That pleted its . ization, however, has now 'com task, for the railway has been , and before long its terminal port at Fort Churchill will be in a position to handle traffic. It was a successful organiza- 'tion, it had a great slogan, and it achieved its objective. le : Now the Pacific Coast province of Brit. ish Columbia has a somewhat similar organ- ization, with a somewhat similar slogan, It own as the "On-to-the-Peace*Associa- 0d ith atm 2 50 seis the ulidng 55 rail e ties within reach. +5 excted big A "On-to- 'because, in the ophu-; ; prosperity of the prairie provinces, Premier King has pledged himself to start construction on the Peace River outlet rail. way within the next year. ' 'The Sun should not be too sure that this pledge will be carried out within the time « stipulated. Piedges made on the eve of an election are sometimes made with a view to _ political expediency, and, in any case, there might be some difficulty in having that pledge carried out should a new party take over the reins of office after the election, Of course, it can be recalled that the Hud- son Bay Railway was largely a political pro- - ject, and it was completed because the prairie provinces did their duty nobly by the Liberal party. It looks as if a gimilar situ- ation is arising with regard to the Peace River outlet, and its supporters in British Columbia: will probably hear plenty about that before July 28. - So, before handing out congratulations, as the Vancouver Sun is do- ing, it might be well to wait until the elec- tion is over, and even after that, to wait 'until the steel is being laid. TEN TESTS OF A MAN A wise observer can tell a lot about a man if he knows how to look and what to look for. He can tell a lot about a man by watch- ing how he acts under stress, under pressure, under fire. He can tell a lot about a man oy watching what he does with his leisure hours, when he is free to do as he pleases. The wise observer can get a pointer or two about a man by noting the kind of associates he chooses. He can tell a lot about a man by the way he takes criticism, adversity, hazing, oppression, injustice. The wise observer can learn something about a man by noting his front--the way he speaks, dresses, acts. He can tell yet more by finding out to what extent he drives works, actually gets things done. A great deal about a man shows in his attitudes, his disposition, his affections. An eighth test of & man is his handling of his own money and property. Another is his treat- ment of the weak, the subordinate, of ani- mals, of unfortunates. But one of the greatest tests of a man is his manner of dealing with his own obliga- tions. Does he keep his word, his bond, his note, to the letter? Does he accept obliga- tions that should be his? Does he go even beyond his legal obligations, and own his moral duties to society, to humanity, to his generation? Does he scrupulously pay his debts, without a quibble, without an exasion, without a whimper? By these 10 tests a wise observer can learn much. It is indeed a compliment if after such a scrutiny he can say of one: There is a Man!--J.G.C. in Farm and Dairy, EDITORIAL NOTES | Summer is now summer. ! .

Bronson cott. "It is easy to cry out against censorship generally," --Edward Weeks, writer, Is your name on the voters' list? A noted dentist says the human jaw is shrinking and will soon disappear. But it is just as prominent as ever at election time. A slenderizing effect in clothes may de- ceive the eye, but it is probably as hard as ever to crowd into the rumble seat. Advertisers are giving the advice, "Buy coal now." But some of us would rather wait until last winter's coal bills are paid.

This is the sort of thing that breeds iliwill between town and country about as fast as anything can do. Year after year it gets worse, and farm- ers whose lands border main roads see their orchards and fields pil- laged by motorists from the city and town, Somehow or other the urban motorist never seems to rea~ lize that this pillage is just plain stealing. for which he is liable to be prosecuted and severely punish- ed as for any other theft, COMBINES IN THE WEST (Sudbury Star) Even in the western wheat- fields the displacement of men by machinery goes on apace, In the house of commons, Mr, Garland, of Bow River, states there were now between five and six thousand combines used in Western Canada harvest fields. He estimated that each one of these harvesting mache ines did away with services of tive or six employes. Mr, Ross of Moose Jaw stated that the estimate was too low and it was agreed by Mr. Garland and the figure raised to ten, So if there are 6,000 of these combines used in harvesting that means 60,000 less harvest hands needed in the west in the early fall, The Canadian west, with 4ts excel- lent grade of wheat, its vast opera- tions and the use of machinery, means a more prosperous country, Even on the farm the reduction in the hours of labor is bound to follow, THE CHANGED NEWSPAPER (Woodstock Sentinel Review) If the dally press were suddenly to revert tothe old line-up of news how strange its pages would ap- pear?

CHEATING MOTORISTS (From the Kitchener Record) - A vacation trip by automobile, whether it lasts three days or three weeks, is about as fine a recrea- tion as possible, However, there are two or three sizable flies fn the ointment and all of us who hit the open road will find them in full measure, Our roads go through charming scenery; but ramshackle hot dog stands ugly filling stations and bla- tant billboards rob the motorist of a good deal of enjoyment that is rightfully his. «=. The worst of it all Is that all of this ugliness fs quite unnecessary. Hot dog stands and filling stations are necessities, but is there any rea- son why they have to be ugly? A little landscaping along a new highway is not so terribly expen- sive, any reason on earth why they should be stuck up right at the most beautiful spots along the highway. Aroused public sentiment can do much to get rid of these eyesores, Each individual motorist can help by vowing not to patronize any re- freshment or filling station that is not a least passably presentable in its outward appearance and by slapping & one-man boycott on any business . outfit that insults = his sense of beauty with any ugly bill. board in a spot where he wants to look at the open country, Bit of Verse And the billboards--is there | That Boy, 4 > Pours By James W.

One of the jobs dome by these liver cells is to take the yelow coloring matter made up from broken down blood cells, and use it to form bile, If however the liver cells are inflam- ed by an infection or poison enter- ing the blood they cannot do this work properly, and so this yellow coloring matter remains in the blood and of course tinges every- thing yellow, including the skin, 8rd, --Certain other types of in- fection attack the blood and des- troy go many red blood corpuscles, that there is too much broken down substance in the blood for the liver to handle, even if the liver cells themselves are healthy. Dr. Wm, Magner, Toronto, ad- vises that where there is jaundice, it 1s well to remember that in the majority of cases it is due to some infection in the system, and the treatment is the same as in any other infection-rest. Diet is most important and means that meats and fats, must be cut down and the starches and sugars increased. In fact sugar Is moet essential, Plenty of liquids must also be used. Where the X ray or dye test meals shows that a stone or growth is present it means operation, al- though not usually an immediate operation. The jaundice due to destruction of the blood istelf also involves an operation, but upon the spleen, not the liver, Don't neglect an attack of jaun- dice, even it you have no pain, no nausea, or no colle. Get to bed, send for your doctor, and treat the condition as you would any infection, It may not be of a serious na- ture, but it is a sign that all is not right and its cause should be investigated, (Registered In accordance with the Copyright Act.)

But you may wait and watch the while, And feel they are your own, There are no blossoms quite so sweet As those that used to blow And scatter round the old home place In that dear long ago. .

St. John Everyone appears to be carry- ing a greater burden in the use of the eyes, The need of intelligent eye care is indeed great, Not only in the interest of correction of vision but in the detection of symp- toms of troubles more remote, The fear that once existed re- garding the use of drops in the eyes is not heard of so often now "The general use of drops for the purpose of examining the eyes is now regarded as unnecessary. There was a time however when it wan considered as a means of ob- taining accuracy but' time has proven that the very opposite is true. Glasses are never prescribed while the eyes are under the influ- ence of drops. The final prescrip- tion and test is always written af- ter the effects have worn away." (To be continued) Bits of Humor A Scotsman was taken to a race meeting by a friend "in the know." Prior to the first race the know. ledable one passed a tip to Jock, who, after agonising indecision, backed the horse for a shilling, It won by a head. Before the next race the knowing one ¢ame along again and gave Jock a second tip. "No; na," said the Scot: "the first only just won." Supporter: "Do you think our candidate put enough fire into his speech?" Critic: "He did, indeed, The trouble is he didn't put enough of his speech into the fire." At the en¥§ of the dinner' which was organized by the British Le- gion in honor of those decorated with' the Victoria Cross and pre- sided over by Mis Royal Highuess, the Prince. of Wales, a lady asked oné of the heroes, "How did you win your Cross?" * "I saved the life of all the mem. bers of my company, ma'am."

It is impossible to write the usual story of criticism of 'Jour ney's End." It is far above that sort of thing as the sort of hu- man emotions its restrained se- quences portray are above our humdrum existence, There is no good in hurling superlatives at it, for it has risen above them, The play concerns a brief per fod in the lives of a certain group of officers in a dug-out in a British trench before St, Quentin, It is a record of the arrival at the front of a young officer who is the brother of the girl to whom the company commander had been en- gaged; of the cowardice of anoth- er young man; of the heroic death of the second in command: of a raiding party to bring back needed German prisoners, . But any description of it must be inadequate--~it has to be heard, seen, felt to be appreciated, for it is more than a story of war-it is a story of all war, whether in trench or battlefield, or elsewhere --a story of the struggle of such abstract qaulities as honor and humanity and guts to survive against horror and fear and the unbearable that must be borne, Colin Clive heads. the cast in the role of "Capt.
