New York and Chicage MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 22nd, 1930 LAYING A CORNER STONE On Saturday afternoon the corner stone of a new church was laid in Oshawa. It was the corner stone of the Ukrainian Presbyter- ian Church, which in the next few months will be raised, by the people of the Ukrain- : ian section of the city, as a temple of wor- 4 ship to the glory of God. It is noteworthy that in a year which is generally conceded to be one of depression, in which the Ukrainian people of the city | have suffered equally with their English- | i speaking fellow-citizens, they should have ! i courage and {aith enough to go ahead with a church-building project. This shows a re- markable trait in the Ukrainians of Oshawa. They had every confidence in the future, had every confidence that they would be able J to erect and maintain their place of wor- ship. Under the guidance of the Rev. Mr. Standret, the Ukrainian Presbyterian Church has become a power in that section of the community, and it is a tribute to his work that it has become necessary and possible to construct on a new church building. In spite of their sometimes stolid appear- ance, the Ukrainian people are deeply emo- tional, especially in their religious life. To them their church means a great deal more ] than it means to the average native-born . Canadian. For it, and for their religion, they are willing to make sacrifices which the av- | erage native-born Canadian would scorn to make. That is why, in the south end of Oshawa, in this year of depression, a new edifice is being erected as a token that to these people religion comes first. We con- gratulate them on their courage and their faith, and wish them every success in their enterprise. WASTED MILLIONS A correspondent, in a letter to The Times, touches on what we believe to be a vital spot in the economic structure of the pro- vince of Ontario, that of the amount of money wasted in the purchase of liquor. Re- ferring to a recent editorial which appeared in these columns, he says:-- "You say that $60,000,000 put in cir- | culation in the Dominion of Canada might mean the difference between de- pression and prosperity. Did you ever try to imagine what would have hap- pened if the $55,000,000 that was wasted "on liquor in the last fiscal year in the : i province of Ontario, had been spent | among our other industries? Would it not have given imployment to a great many people?" : That is an arresting thought, and one which should sink very deeply into the minds } of thoughtful people. $55,000,000 spent f among the productive industries of Ontario | which give employment to thousands of peo- ; ple might very well have eased the burden of depression, for it should be remembered that a very large portion of that money went to other countries for imported wines and liquor. Ontario cannot afford to waste all that money, and the soongr that fact is rea- lized by the voters of the province, the sooner will it be possible to divert that money into : useful channels. WAR TALK UNNECESSARY Why is it that ministers of the gospel, when assembled at meetings and conferences, find it necessary to raise a scare regarding the prospects of another war? Scarcely a church gathering of any importance is held without some speaker setting forth a ter- rible picture of what is coming, ande*warn- ing his colleagues that the next war is going to be far more disastrous than the last one. That kind of talk sounds to us like so much wasted eloquence. If indications point to anything, they point to a steady development 3 of peace sentiment throughout the whole 7 world, and to a gradual growth of condi- tions which will eventually make another war impossible. As the world is at present, war is not an impossibility, but it is very improbable that any of the great nations . would be likely to go to war with each other. Men are coming closer together in their in- * ternational relationships, machinery is be- 4 ing set up which is gradually driving war farther and farther from the realm of actu- ality. Thus the speaker at the general coun- cil of the United Church who forecast that the world is drifting towards another war could not have based his statements on sound premises. It is far more correct to say that the world is drifting towards per- manent peace, because all the trend of mod- ern thought lies in that direction. Let us have' less of this sickening talk of the next war, and more practical attention to the development of that peace sentiment which, when it becomes so enshrined in the lives of men that it becomes a vital part of international policy, will make war impos- sible. BUSINESS IMPROVING When retail merchants are able to report an improvement in business, it is a very de- finite indication that cenditions are on the upgrade, and that the business slump per-. iod has passed. A report of this kind was given by W. J. Davidson, a high offidlal of the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company, at a banquet held in Toronto a few days ago, when he declared that the economic depres. sion was almost entirely a state of mind and a condition of nervous hysteria. He pointed out, also, that the executives of his company found conditions turning definitely upward, and expressed the view that the organiza- tion with which he was connected was large enough to be a fair criterion of the present situation. Mr. Davidson's comments on business con- ditions are highly interesting. He says:-- "In the past year we have heard too much talk about depression and people losing money on the stock market and so on. I think ten per cent of the peo- ple talking that way never had any mo- ney, anyway. All this stuff is mainly a lot of talk, a state of mind. North America is just as prosperous as it ever was; there is just as much money avail- able as there ever was. ° "The trouble is that last October peo- ple got panic-stricken. Everybody thought the country was going to the bow-wows, that they were going to lose their jobs, that factory and farms were over-producing, and so on, But the.main trouble was with the people themselves. They got scared, and quit buying clothes, shoes, automobiles, groceries and a lot of other things. "It was a nervous hysteria of non- buying sweeping over the country, but we are coming back just as we have come back in other periodical panics." Mr. Davidson seems to have summed up the situation very accurately. All that is © left to be said is that the people of Canada have it in their own hands to speed up the return of prosperity by throwing off their non-buying hysteria, and spending their mo- ney just as they did when there was no de- pression talk. That is the surest way we know of to drive depression completely to rout. EDITORIAL NOTES Many a man can save himself years of ef- fort by utilizing the knowledge and experi- ence of others. THe first sign of winter is that miniature | golf courses are now being opened indoors. The wages of workers in some industries have been cut, but, as an exchange remarks, the wages of sin remain the same. A job a day will keep the wolf away-- from the door o many an unemployed work- er. . It will soon be time for those annual warn- ings to do youy Christmas shopping early. There is just a possibility that Sir Thomas Lipton will be able to charge the expenses of his effort to win the America's Cup up to advertising. The value of advertising as a means of meeting business recession should not be overlooked. Judiciously and consistently used, it has a very wide application to the varied fields of business. This, argument about, the route of the Trans-Canada highway should give the peo- ple of Ontario some valuable lessons in the geography of their own province, : The proof of the pudding is in the eating is a maxim which is now being applied to Mr, Bennett's tariff changes. . The St. Catharines Standard says the Canadian tariff is a leaf out of the American book. Surely it is not another tariff "Made | in Washington." Manufacturers assured Mr. Bennett that prices would not be increased because of higher tariffs, but it did not take long for butter to jump a couple of cents a pound. Didn't we hear some time ago that tenders for the construction of the subway were to be called before the first of October?

THAT many advertisers of every- day necessities seriotisly cripple ef- fectiveness of their advertising be- cause prices exacted for their mer- chandise calls for too much profit, All merchants must, perforce, make a fair profit, but nowadays speed of turnover oftentimes means more than the sclf-satisfaction that you're sell- ing" "quality" merchandise and "they can come and get it if they want it."

By James W . Bartow, M.D, TREATING THE MINDS OF ; PATIENTS It has been found that about one- fourth of the patients in hospital with medical ol iy need treatment for their minds as well as their bodies, because of some fancied ailment, This is called neurosis. On the other hand fully 95 per cent of cases in hospital who have what is called anxiety neurosis really have some organic ailment, with patients of this type is one of restoring to normal mental poise, by allaying fears, restoring self respect, anc ridding them of any inferiority complex. Now my suggestion is that before you get down sick, before you get to hospital, that you go tp your fa- mily doctor and have him check you over, head to foot,--eyes, ears, nose, throat, teeth, heart, lungs, kidneys, blood pressure, blood, nerves, every- thing in fact, and find out whether you are free from all organic ail- ments. If you are perfectly sound and yet have a depressed feeling, fears, anxie- ties, or other emotional disturbance take a look at your daily habits of life, because after all there are only three factors to watch--food, rest, and exercise, If you are organically sound, you watching your daily habits of life, and you still have an inferiority complex, or an anxiety ncurosis, then ask your doctor to recommend a good nerve specialist, He should be able to straighten things out for you af- ter two or three interviews, Remember your emotions affect you just as much as food, sleep, or alr.
