New York and Chicage TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30th, 1930 THE UNEMPLOYED MEET Considerable interest has been created by the mass meetings which have been held in Memorial Park for the last two days by un- employed workers of Oshawa. These meet- ings 'have been far removed in their tenor from Communist gatherings, and there should be no mistake about that point. They were attended by men out of employment, men who have the will to work, but who are unable to find work. © The meetings have been well conducted, orderly, and quiet, and when Mayor Mitchell, Alderman Sully and City Engineer Smith addressed the meet- ings, they were given a courteous and atten- tive hearing. The meetings, it is understood, are to be continued. = The unemployed workers are finding in them a means of assembling and trying to impress upon those in places of au- thority the seriousness of the situation which exists in Oshawa today. There is a feeling that the city fathers do not fully rea- lize how serious conditions are, and that they have delayed too long in their decision to provide relief works. That is one of the chief complaints made by the spokesman for the unemployed, Edward McDonald, and it must be admitted that the council is blame- worthy in this respect. As long ago as last spring, The Times tried to impress the coun- cil that it was poor policy to shut down on civic works when there was a large amount of unemployment, that the proper policy should be to provide for civic works in order to create as much employment as possible. And now, late in the season, the council has realized that The Times was right, and has taken some action in the right direction. The meetings of the unemployed may help to impress, not only on the council, but on those citizens who have not suffered from the slump, and there are many such, the magnitude of the problem which has to be faced. It is not a problem alone for the municipal fathers. It is a problem in which every citizen who has the means to do much help in some way, be it large or small. Mean- while, let the unemployed continue to meet and discuss their troubles. Let them, above all, try to bring some constructive sugges- tions out of th@ir gatherings by which em- ployment might legitimately be created. The Times is fully in sympathy with them in their distress, and in today's issue is making a practical effort to help them. So long as they continue their meetings as they have been, keep out the Communists, and carry on their deliberations in a law-abiding and gentlemanly manner, they will win for them- selves the practical sympathy of every citi- sen who is inclined to help them. EXPANSION PREDICTED It would be natural, of course, to find the Hon. R. B. Bennett optimistic as to the im- mediate future of Canada. His position as prime minister, as the father of the special session of parliament, compels him to be that way. Yet there is a responsibility which is attached to his office and one would hardly expect him to make predictions of expansionunless he had some solid founda- tion for his statements. It is therefore interesting to find him, in a speech in the House of Commons, telling of definite signs that business and industrial expansion unless he had some solid founda- line companies planning to increase their re- fining establishments in several centres. He announces immediate expansion of the agri- cultural implement factories. He intimates that a glass plant which has been closed for some years in Hamilton is to be reopened, to give immediate employment to from 100 to 150 men, and an eventual employment of 500 men. And he predicts the establish- ment of a new glass-making industry in Southern Alberta. ; It is to be hoped that Mr. Bennett spoke advisedly in making these assertions, for it would be a cruel thing to build up false hopes in the minds of the people of Canada. Yet, "they seem logical, they seem in keeping with the trend of the times. Opinion is more and more leanihg to the view that prosperity which was a short time ago, just around the corner, is coming closer every day, and that the industrial expansion which is now long overdue is now not so very far away. Pre- mier Bennett's predictions of expansion may X have a political note in them, but it is the fervent hope of everyone who read them that they may be realized, and that quickly. MAKE IT A REAL THANKSGIVING Today The Times joins with the Chamber of Commerce in a determined effort to make the Thanksgiving season a 'time of real Thanksgiving for every citizen of Oshawa. As matters are now, with so many men out of work, that is impossible, but the commit- tee of the Chamber of Commerce which is sponsoring this movement, and The Times, believe that it can be made so by the sin- cere and honest co-operation of: those citi- zens who have it in their power to help by the creation of casual jobs for unemployed men. There are many special jobs which have to be done around any house, any garden, at this time of the year. It is not necessary to enumerate them at this time. And it would be an inestimable help to hundreds of the unemployed if all those people of Osh- awa who have work to do, and can afford to pay a dollar or two or three to have if done, would call on the services of an unemploy- ed man to do it. There must be, within the city of Oshawa, hundreds of people who can. afford to pay for services such as are necessary at this time of the year. It is to these that the ap- peal is made to fall in line with this prac- tical step to relieve the unemployment situ- ation, to give men work, to help make Thanksgiving for them a time of real joy, because they have found people in Oshawa willing to share what they possess by giving an unemployed Oshawa man a job. RUSSIAN WHEAT DUMPING The most serious factor which has yet come to light in connection with the mar- keting of Canada's wheat crop is found in the reports of wholesale. dumping of low- priced wheat on the world's markets by So- viet Russia. These reports state that, ig- noring entirely the requirements of the Rus- sian people for wheat supplies, the Soviet Union is exporting enormous quantities of wheat, and selling it at a figure far below the ruling world prices, thereby completely halting the shipments of wheat from the North American continent to the available world market, and particularly those of Europe. This is a serious situation. One can, per- haps, understand what is behind the action of the Soviet Union. First of all, the Soviet needs monev, and since the crops there are taken over by the state as state property, the selling .of wheat provides ready cash. So, in order to secure the cash, and irrespec- tive of true wheat values, the Russian sup- plies are being dumped on the market. | | | { | | There is a deeper, a more subtle reasons | however, than this. Tt is all part of the great Communist plan to create disturbances all over the world, and particularly in Can- ada and the United States. The Soviet Union knows that €anada and the United States depend gery largely for their pros- perity on the marketing of their wheat crops at a fair price. So it is not hard to see that if the Soviet can take away that market from Canada and the United States, by sell- ing wheat at prices much lower than quoted by these countries, the return of prosperity to them will be held back, and, indeed, this might. cause even more serious depression than at present prevails. And it is on. con- ditions of depression that Communism has been known to thrive. It is difficult to know what Canada can do, under the circumstances, to protegt her markets for wheat. The Russian dumping has totally disorganized wheat trading, and the only real hope that lies ahead is that the Imperial Economic Conference may be able to reach some agreement on a plan which will help to solve the wheat marketing prob- Jem which is one of the fundamental causes of the depression in Canada. EDITORIAL NOTES, The city engineer will not have any dif- ficulty in filling the jobs created by the new civic program. If wheat keeps on getting cheaper, it will soon be worth as little as weeds. : The action of a Woodstock baking firm in reducing the price of bread to eight cents has not, so far, proven contagious. It would not be so bad if the increase in the price of butter were balanced by a de- crease in the price of bread. The tree sifting craze has reached Scot- land and it should be popular there. It is much cheaper than paying rent. Now that the city council has tried to make employment for the workless, private individuals and companies should do the same thing. Thus will a serious winter sit- uation be relieved. Now is the time to drive along the coun- * try roads where the color schemes are worth | stopping to admire. In Spain a donkey wrecked a train. In this country, donkeys behind automobile steering wheels are usually wrecked by trains. . * - | | | | | | | "| pardner of Other Editors' Comments KEEPING UP ON ONE'S READING (Edmonton Journal) "Of making many books there is no end," said the author of Ec- clesiastes some considerable time before our present era began; what would he say if he could be resur- rected into the busy book produc- tion of our day? France held the record up to 1929 by achieving in 1925 an output ef 15,000 vol- umes, but England carried it off from her last year by turning out 18,000 books. The reviewer in La Croix de Paris who notes this fact would like to conscle himself by falling back on the old bromide about quality versus quantity, but he is nto too sure that such a claim could be made good. Meantime the United States holds evenly on its way with a total of about 9,000 volumes annually. Recalling, thanks to the friendly hint of a recent correspondent that French is not a "foreign" language in this country, we Canadians have to take into account, it appears, a yearly production of around 40.000 volumes in French and English combined. That allows us a trifle over 100 a day among which to make our choice, and when one re- flects that so great a reader as Lord Acton did not claim to aver- age more than a hook a day, it is clear that there is no occasion to feel cramped in selection.

However one point has been over- looked by some physicians in their natural enthusiasm in the use of fats in these epileptic cases. "During the period of active growth in boys and girls, there is normally a stérage of protein in the form of new tissue, and a positive nitrogen balance is established in the body." This is absolutely essential to health The usual protein in the diet is 1 part protein (meat and eggs), 2 parts fats (milk, butter and cream), and 4 parts vegetables and bread. 4 Now in feeding cases of epilepsy the rule has been to cut down on the starches and increase the fats, leav- ing the proteid foods (meat and eggs) 1 part, fats 3 parts, and veget- ables 1 part. However Dr. Trvine McQuarrie, has investigated this nitrogen balance (obtained from meat and eggs) and says that it is not obtained for the body unless the supply of meat and eggs is really doubled in the diet of young epileptics. This means then that the average healthy youngster needs 1 part meat or eggs to 2 parts fats, to 4 parts vegetables and bread, and the one subject to epilepsy should really take twice as much meat and eggs daily Mothers should remember that some protein food meat, eggs, or milk--animal foods---should enter into the daily diet of their youngster. It is discoveries such as this that make us realize that we are to a large extent what our food makes us. (Registered in dance with the Copyright Act.)

STOP AND THINK IT OVER! That Body over the many ANOTHER POINT ABOUT FOOD IN EPILEPSY / The usual method of teaching physiology is to comparé the body to a machine or steam boiler. Coal is the fuel for the steam boiler and food 'is the fuel for the body; each giving heat and energy. However food not only gives heat and energy but it also gives growth to the child. And the big difference is that the coal never becomes, a part of the steam boiler, whereas food not only gives heat, energy, and growth, but actually becomes the tissues of the body--the body itself, Now with the ordinary healthy body practically all kinds of foods may be eaten, but if "anything goes wrong with the body, then not all foods are suitable, so that certain foods must not be eaten.
