McKay, medi- "cal health officer, which was published in Times on Saturday, is a document in 'which the people of Oshawa can take a great $ FA 1 of pride. It shows that Oshawa is a ealthy city, and it shows, furthermore, that 'much of the credit for this state of affairs . is due to the efficient service of Dr. McKay's "public health department. Oshawa was fortunate, during this year, in that it had no serious outbreaks of communi- _ cable disease. Diphtheria, once looked upon "as a dread epidemic disease, was reported "in only thirteen cases during the twelve months' period, and only eleven cases of scar- 'let fever were reported, while smallpox did i mot appear in the list at all. This very satis- factory condition is due to the efforts of the CANADA'S WEALTH In these days when there are far too many people taking a gloomy view of conditions in Canada, it is refreshing to find a newspaper on the other side of the Atlantic which has the proper perspective. the London Daily Express, which, in its editorial columns, comments as follows: "There are no geographical limits for pessimists... From in America's ruin and Australia's bankruptcy, they have turned to mutt ut Can- ada's gloomy prospects... Was anything ever more absurd? Canada has her dif- ficulties, but Canada needs no pity. That British North America is potentially the richest country in the world is a simple, unsentimental truth. Let us imagine that the resources of the Dominion could be divided pro rata to the popul- ation.. No citizen of any other commun- ity could begin to challenge the posses- sion of individual wealth on such a basis. The glory of Canada's future shines like the sun through the mists. Favored among all nations by the wealth of her soil and the virility of her people, the years ahead are laden with treasure." This quotation from The Daily Express is worth clipping out and putting up in a pro- minent place. It expresses the hope for Canada's future better than anything we have read for a long time, and it breathes a cheerful optimism that might well be emu. lated by every Canadian citizen. We like that sentence, "The glory of Canada's future shines like the sun through the mists." It Js so expressive of the actual position of Canada in the world, and it might well be taken to heart by those who are burdened by a pessimistic outlook, EDITORIAL NOTES This newspaper is 41 felt rather shaky to be seated in During my visit at San Antonio, Texas, I attended a style show at the Gunter Hotel, I must admit at first the magnificent dining room where at every table were seated the social leaders of San Antonio. However, §lanced around and saw William Me- ntosh, publisher of the San Antonio Light, seated at a nearby tahle. He was using his eyes overtime, so I did the same. An ingeni arrang. t has been worked out between the Gunter Ho- tel and one of the leading stylists of the city whereby weekly style shows are held in the Terrace dining room of the hotel each Tuesday during the lunch hour. Through this arrangement the latest fashion dictates from New York and Paris are brought directly to the so- cial elite of San Antonio and dis- played by attractive models, A prome- nade has been erected for this pur- pose through the center of the dining room, and music is furnished for the occasion by Herman Waldman and his Brunswick recording orchestra. The arrangement has proven extreme- ly popular with San Antonio women who are interested in styles. So great has the interest become that it has been necessary to increase the capa- city of the dining room to twice its former capacity, and a special menu is provided for this occasion. Beach pajamas, lounging robes, street suits, afternoon frocks and evening growns are shown. Also, through the co-operation of other retail merchants, shoes, hose, millinery and dress es- sentials are shown to complete the ! as \ & EU "health department towards immunization of {children for these diseases. It is noted that + 998 children were immunized against diph- | theria and 1,072 against scarlet fever, and the effect of this is naturally shown in the "small number of cases of these diseases. "In his report, Dr. McKay lays stress on the value of preventive work. This is undoubt- edly very valuable in maintaining the good health of the citizens. Oshawa has earned a splendid reputation all over Ontario, and even farther afield, for the efficiency of its health department along these lines, and money spent in maintaining this service is one of the best investments that the city can make, for no community can expect to pros- per unless it can maintain a healthy popu- lation. Even if only from an economic stand- point, such expenditures are worth while, but 3 when considered from the other angle, that of preserving the good health of the people, . they cannot be measured in dollars and cents. Dr. McKay and his department are to be ted on the satisfactory nature of , which is a credit to the city and psponsible for the condition which " TO A GOOD START wa Horticultural Society, for a ation, has done exceptionally well. as a membership of close to two i the number is increasing daily. t that the civie beautification thich is being sponsored by the ptured the public imagination, sed a keen interest in its work. s the record is to date, there is room for growth of a society er.

CLEAN UP THE BACK YARDS The Oshawa Board of Health is making a strong appeal to the citizens to help make the appearance of the city more attractive by giving their back yards a thorough clean- ng up for the spring. - This is particularly applicable, according to Mayor Marks and Ald. Boddy, to the back yards in the city's siness section, but it can be applied, more Jess, to the whole community. Back yards, h their collection of the winter's refuse, » become somewhat disreputable in appear- 'ance at this time of the year. Most citizens, however, are fond of gardening, and soon pi the remedy this condition. There are others, 'however, who have not the same ambition to 'make their back yards attractive, and it is 'to these, in particular, that the appeal is "directed. When g comes around, the average housewife has a busy time with house-cleaning, so as to get rid of accumu- ated dust and dirt which inevitably gathers uring the winter months in even the best pt of homes. This should be a key to the of the house to undertake his share of cleaning-up, and to make every effort to 'have his back yard just as tidy and attrac- ive as his good wife likes to make the insid the house : 5 : ensemble. Now is the time to clean up and paint up, and to give a man a job doing it. The weekly style shows have proven San Antonio's most popular social event. Men and women attend, the women showing an eagerness to ac- quaint themselves with the styles, the men seeking something they may pur- Mr. Sinclair has expressed his satisfaction with the work of the Liberal M.P.P.'s dur- ing the session of the legislature. Their greatest service has been in their desire to co-operate with the government in remedying conditions which required remedying, instead of merely criticizing. Golfers were out in large numbers on Good Friday, which indicates that the season for golf widows is about to start. The Earl of Bessborough was given a cor- dial welcome to Canada, and his speech in response indicates that he fully deserved it. It seems as if summer cannot be far away when we read of preparations being made for boys' camps. Other Editors' Comment THE CRISIS IN THE WEST (Qubec Soleil) That all is not perfect in the Prairie provinces does not surprise us. If we were told the opposite, we should find it hard to believe. Nor for that matter is Paradise to be found at Toronto, Montreal, Quebec or Saint John. One only has to remember the barely loyal pressure which was exerted last fall in New Brunswick to obtain a reduction in freight rates . . .. This crisis should not be used as a pretext to impose on another part of the country sacrifices which they should not be asked to bear at such a time. SHIFTING CARGOES (Quebec Action Catholique) Tt is claimed by some that thére is nothing to worry about in the fact that five million Americans are now out of work, as there is gold and food in abundance in the neighbouring republic. There may perhaps be no fear that anyone will die of starvation or cold. But there is a great deal to worry about in the fact that six million people have to beg for their sustenance, whilst a few hundred others are glutted with money. It is not normal that so large a proportion of the population should have to dread each morrow, because they cannot find employment, The social balance is upset, and balance is as neces- sary to a society as to a ship.

Pray, where are you going ?" "It's all right, thank you," replied Joan, politely, "I've been!" "Did you tell her when you proposed that you were unworthy of her?

You might have saved yourself the journey. J Young Suitor: "That's all right. You see, I had another message to deliver in the same building." It was the final race of the day, and as the jockey came in on the last horse, he was met by an enraged owner. ; "You're a fine one!" exclaimed the latter. "Why didn't you follow my instructions? I told you dis- tinctly to come away with a rush from the corner."

D | (Copyright, 1928) CHOREA, ST. VITUS DANCE AND THE EYES Part "I" Uncorrected hyperopia creates such a strain upon the eyes that the leak- age of nerve force from this means cannot but be noticed. This may lead to a long train of evils greater than at first be thought precible. Where hyperopia , about 90° of the cases have a common muscle error whose strain upon the eyes is similar to the eyestrain of Hypero- pia and as this muscle control and the effort put forth to correct the visual error are all imposing upon the third nerve, it is easy to understand that the test considered necessary to know the true condition of this pair of eyes is not merely a test of vision. The condition of the muscles and the accommodative power must be known. Unless these powers are functioning harmoniously one with the other strain is bound to be in evidence. Each of the human organs receive their proper amount of nerve force ne- cessary for their work, when strain wastes this power some other organ must suffer through the improper dis- tribution, (To be continued) INSURANCE AGENTS Local Office of Manufactur- ers' Life Contributed to Success Two outstanding honors have been earned recently by the Central ers Life Insurance Company.

The 1931 progress in the Willys- Knight field has not been confined to the power plant, however. Com- bined with the smartly designed and larger bodies, the Company's 1931 offering represents the greatest value ever offered in more than 15 years' Willys-Knight history. Com- pared with the corresponding car of last year, the new model is more than one-thind lower in price. No detail has been overlooked to place the 1931 Willys-Knight in a conspicuous position, both from a viewpoint of appearance as well as performance and lower price range The body lines are long, sweeping and graceful, presenting an appear. ance of quality and smartness, The wider tread and longer wheelbase of 121 inches have given the de- signers unusual freedow in develop. ing the style appeal of the exterior and the roominess and comfort in the exteriors. The wire wheels, or the natural wood, the long, graceful, narrow radiador, the large hub caps, the all-steel running hoards, wider front fenders, port-type hood lou- vres and garnish mouldings, all contribute to the quality appear ance of the car. Four body models comprise the line--the Standard Sedan and Vic- toria and the DeLuxe "Sedan and Vietoria. The standard models have natural wood wheels while the De- Luxe models are equipped with wire wheels. Like all other cars in the 1931 Willys line, safety glass in wind- shield and all windows is available as standard equipment. PLEADS GUILTY TO THEFT OF $100,000 Pembroke, April 4.--~Walford A.
