A PROFITABLE DECREASE There are times when it is a good thing for a community to take a slight step back- ward in the matter of population. That is true of the decrease in population which has been recorded in Oshawa in the past twelve months. The decrease is not 3 substantial one in numbers, yet it amounts to somewhat. of a weeding out of a more or less floating population. During the boom years a large number of young, single men came to Osh- awa, to take advantage of the prosperity of the community and its leading industries. They never became properly assimilated into the population of the city. They would be here during the spring and summer months, when things were busy, and when the factories slackened production, they were off somewhere else. That is the reason for the present de- crease in population figures. The floaters did not come back this spring, because there was depression here as well as elsewhere, so there was not the artificial stimulus to population figures which they gave. With the floaters gone, Oshawa may have a slight- ly smaller population, but it is a more stable population, and one that really looks on Osh- awa as home. It would be well to have the "city remain in that condition, for a floating population is of little advantage to any com- munity, especially when . industrial condi- tions are in somewhat of a slump, and there is not enough employment to go around. GROWING IN SPITE OF DEPRESSION : The real measure of the growth of a com- munity is not its population, but its assess- ment. From that standpoint, it is encour- aging to note that even in a year which is regarded as one of depression, Oshawa's assehatpent has increased by over $340,000. That 1s not as high a figure as has been re- corded in recent years, but it shows definite progress. It shows that the wealth of the city, in property, is greater than it was a year ago, and since this increase has been achieved without increasing the standard of assessment, it means a definite dd of assessable property. 1t is inevitable that Oshawa should con- tinue to grow and develop. Indeed, it would seem that as soon as prosperity returns in full measure, this city will enjoy a develop- ment which will leave past records far be- hind. The development of the harbor and the extension of its use, the possibilities of locating new industries here, and other fac- tors all help to convince one that Oshawa's growth in the next few years will be well up to the rate of the past six or seven years, and the fact that even in a yeap of depres- sion there was so satisfactory an increas in the assessment bears out this view. THE LIBERAL CONVENTION The Liberals of Ontario have decided hold a general convention of the party Toronto in December of this year. That a convention is to be held is not surprising. \ After the debacle from which the party suf- chosen.

THE IMPERIAL CONFERENCE For the next few weeks the eyes of the whole British Empire will be centred on London, England, where the Imperial Con- ference, a gathering of the great statesmen * of all the component parts' of the Empire, will be assembled. As has previously been pointed out, there are really two conferences. The first, the' Imperial Conference proper, will deal large- ly with matters of Imperial and national status, matters of law and jurisprudence, and it will not be of outstanding interest to the average man or woman, The other conference is the Imperial Econ- omic Conference, a conference which will deal with matters of trade and commerce. In view of the present struggle for markets for the products of Canada, this is by far the more important of the two conferences to this country. If it results in agreements to develop: intra-Empire trade, it will mean jobs for Canadian workmen, and cash. for Canadian farmers, two of the essentials to the return of prosperity in this country. One cannot forecast what the outcome of this conference will be, but we hope for the best, and trust that its deliberations will result in such agreements as will promote greater trade between Canada and the other parts of the Empire, agreements by which all par- ties will have mutual benefits, and which will enable Canada to enjoy a great development * of her export trade to the countries within the Empire and particularly with the Mother Country. START THE WHEELS TURNING Getting business back to normal is simply a matter of normal. buying. The existing economic situation is largely a matter of stagnant buying power. Our socks gets holes in them and instead of buy- ing new socks, we demand the services of good darn- ers or simply carry on holes and all. The batteries of our radio sets run down and in- stead of having them recharged, we talk vaguely of buying a batteryless model, All very well if we do, but we do not. We cut down on butter and kid ourselves into thinking dry toast is palatable; we forget what fried chicken tastes like; and pass displays of Canadian apples, pears and grapes with a feeling that we ought to do something about it. We check up the bank book with a winter overcoat in mind, but send the old one down to the cleaners after all. We hear about a book we want to read but run the risk of dying before it gets down to the dollar class; wear old haté' that should be adorning scare- crows; carry watches that have gone crazy for lack of a cleaning or a new mainspring; and send hand- kerchiefs to the laundry that respectable moths would not look at twice. That%s, those who have income to buy are carry- ing this retrenchment manid too far. Try to get the spending habit back again. Losses up on the household budget and wear better clothes; take a look at the new aytomobile models and simply let the salesmen know that you are "thinking it over"--they'll do the rest. Or, if the 'old car has a niche in your heart which a new one couldn't fill, send it down for overhauling. Get that new tire be- fore you come a cropper on the highway; get the brakes relined and do the undertakers a bad turn; and, if nothing else, give the neighbors a treat by getting the old bus cleaned up. Before we know it, prosperity will be here, smiles And instead of worrying about the unem- ployed, factories will begin to talk about overtime and cobwebs will cover the red ink bottles with the hippy grey of long neglect. EDITORIAL NOTES The glass jobbers will at least make the average man more careful not to break any window panes. Perhaps the serious earthquake reported Rugsia was cdused by the shaking of Figs wheat market as the result of the dump- ing of Russian wheat. Isn't it nice that we have not yet had to start reducing the pile in the coalbin? Bread at six cents a loaf will be a real Godsend to those who have to live on a dol- lar or two a week.

That Body of Pours By fan W. Barton, M.D. HOW ANGER EXHAUSTS YOU I wish I could show my readers what actually happens inside the body when we are happy, hed are angry, when in sorrow or under other stress. Because your heart continues to beat and you continue to eat and sleep you perhaps do not realize how much your emotions affect the ability of the organs and tissues to do their work, One of the members of the medi- cal profession has written a book showing the wonderfully benefici- al effects of laughter on the whole system. The reading of this book should help both well and sick folks in their journey through life A most interesting experiment has been presented by Pr.' Joseph Bancroft who has been doing re- search work on the spleen. He has been able to show that the spleen gets smaller by squeez- ing out its contents of blood cor- puscles whenever we are under emo- tional excitement. And the-amount by which the spleen decreases in size 48 In exact proportion to the degree of the emotion, The subject of his experiment was a dog whose desire to pursue any cat in the vicinity was rather, but not too strongly marked. A duster waved In front of the dog's nose did not cause the spleen to contract or grow smaller, but a similer duster on which a cat had been lying reduced the size of the spleen by 30 per cent. When a cat in an adjoining room was persuaded to mew, the dog's spleen underwent a further slight contraction, The cat was then brought within the dog's range of vision and the spleen was reduced to less than half its natural size. Finally the dog was allowed to chase the cat for fifteen seconds, and by that time the spleen was only one quarter its original size Truly the old saying "venting his spleen" which, while it gave certainly used up a great amount of good blood and energy. " Nature, who is always ahead of your needs gave your spleen this ability to pour out extra blood cor- puscles when they were needed in emergencies to strengthen your heart and arm, but it was not in- tended that you should use up these "emergency rations" by useless fits of anger or other unnecessary emotional unrest. I never discuss religion or re- lgions, but I believe the peace of mind obtained thereby, by many, is worth much to the physical health, aside from the spiritual.
