FRIDAY, MAY 1st, 1931 ' THEY CANNOT SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES morrow, the Oshawa Humane Society es its annual appeal to the citizens of Bawa on behalf of the dumb animals of this community and district. We have al-' ady pointed out the worthy nature of the which this society is doing in the care imals which require protection. In very sense, this is a community work which petits support. There are few people so hatdened in heart that they are not lovers of als, and yet, it seems to be necessary some voluntary organization be main- ed to throw a mantle of protection over animals which suffer from human indif- nce, neglect and cruelty. "In appealing to the citizens for support of work, the officials of the Humane Soci- "are not asking. for large. contributions om individuals. By the holding of a tag day, they are appealing for the silver coins which, when contributed in the hundreds, " mount un to quite a substantial sum. The idow's mite will be just as welcome as the glthy man's cheque. The society asks, te all, for the sympathetic support of the sses of the people, so that the work may be carried on, and so that it can continue themeiv for those who cannot speak for mslves. : ; MORE RELIEF ASSISTANCE 'Oshawa has little reason to complain so | far as its treatment by the federal and pro- * vincial governments in the matter of assist- ance in the giving of direct relief is concern- ed. Originally intended to last only until March. 81, this government assistance was extefiled for 'another month, and yesterday Mayor Marks was able to secure an assur- ance from J, A. Ellis, director of the bureau of "municipal "affairs, * who is administering £ the government funds for this purpose, that LI assistance would be given for another month, * that is, until May 31. : | This government aid is of great assistance to the city *1 taking care of those whose gircumstances are such as to make it neces- 't sary for them to apply for relief. The * amount of money which has had to be ex- ded in Oshawa during the last six months direct relief would have been a consider- drain on the city's finances had it not m for the substantial contributions re- ved fro mthe provincial and federal gov- ie nts. * The same is true, of course, of the gener- 'pus measure of help given in providing for the cost of special work undertaken as a 'means. of unemployment relief. Left to its. 'own resources, Oshawa would have been un- 'able to provide anything like the amount of 'work which has been made available. With the governments meeting half the cost, how- er, thie city could afford to do things on 'more generous scale, and the result has ien reflected in the amount of money which 8 been distributed in relief wages in the gt few months. There may be criticisms of sone of Pre- ler Bennett's policies and plans for reliev- conditions in this country, but so far as awa is concerned, this city has reaped a ch benefit as a result of the measures th were put into effect at the special ses- 'of parliament held last September. . - UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE mier Bennett has definnitely commit- his government to the. introduction of a me of unemployment insurance.' This been Siged upon the government from y qu since it took office, and the mcement of Mr. Bennett has cleared + £0 the extent that it makes it known the subject has been under serious con- tion, and that the government is mak- ous effort to solve the many prob- § which are linked up. with a project of kind. 4 8 is intéresting to note, too, that the heme: which the government has in mind a scheme of contributory insurance, with ontribution§ coming from four sources, the eral government, the provincial govern- nt, the employers and the workers. This it should be, although there is bound e some criticism of the inclusion 'of the nial governments in the scheme. True, relief of distress caused by excessive un- loyment, is just as much a provincial re- ibility 'as it is a federal one, but there feeling' that the provinces are having a enough loaded on their shoulders by federal government without this added principle that the employers and em- should make contributions is more ~iums, he _is entitled under that insurance without any sound, particularly so far as the workers are concerned. Since they are to receive the benefits of the insurance, it is only right that they should be prepared to bear a fair share of the premiums. That is an established principle of all insurance plans, and it is this principle which removes unemployment in- surance from the status of being a mere dole: When a man has paid insurance prem- accept the benefits to which he loss of self respect, and it is important, in times of unemployment and distress, that the unemployed workers suffer no loss of morale as a result of being the recipients of charity. It is not proposed, of course, to introduce the necessary legislation for unemployment insurance at the present session of parlia- ment. Much study has still to be given to the question, and much research work has to be done. But the masses of the people of this country will be satisfied, in a general way, to know that the problem has been un- der consideration, that the government is definitely committed to some form of unem- ployment insurance, and that steps are being taken to evolve a scheme which will be satis- factory from every standpoint. EDITORIAL NOTES Now is the time when all good fishermen begin to bore us with their fish stories, Congratulations to Alan Williams, Osh- awa boy on winning a $750.00 scholarship awarded by the Research Council of Canada. Work of the nature which he is undertaking will have a lasting value to the Dominion. Milk at the new summer prices is about the cheapest food that can be bought. It used to be known as May Day, but now it is regarded more or less as Red Day in many countries of the world. R. S. McLaughlin is now director of a movie company. This seems quite natural since he has for years been president of a company whose products keep people on the move. The young people of Thornton's Corners are planning a tree-planting day. They are to be commended for their interest in this important and worth-while work. . It is a striking though that of all the in- vestments which mén can make, life insur- ance is one of the few which have come through the depression without a shrinkage in value. Now that May is here, it will soon be quite safe to put the fur coat away in mothballs, and to gubstitute silk for flannel. Many of the gardeners who became over- enthusiastic in the early part of April are now regretfully surveying the damage the frost has done.

A. R. Ubedell, in the Fortnightly Review. NO DOLE IN CANADA (Victoria Colonist) Mr. R. B. Bennett says outright that Canada un- der the Conservative regime, "will not put a premium on idleness." There is no dole wanted in this coun- try. The Federal Government has already shown its willingness to meet emergent conditions of unemploy- men by the provision of special works. It is the only self-respecting course of action for a country like Canada to follow. It 1s by private and public co- operation that the problem of unemployment can be relieved. In the meantime all Canada will applaud Premier Bennett's outspoken decision - against the dole. No one correctly informed of conditions where the dole prevails will doubt that his attitude is the right one. BITS OF HUMOR Sam: "Do you think horseshoes are lucky?" He: "Of course." .

(Copyright 1928) AFFECT OF TYPE SIZES ON EYESIGHT Part "1" The extensive use of printing type of a smaller size than 10 points is a strong factor contributing to eye- strain or fatigue and this in turn will contribute to impaired vision. As vision is lost gradually point by »oint through forms of suppression or in others words lack of recognition of images of a certain size it is likewise noticeable that when sonie of these cases respond and the vision is de- veloped, the development is marked in the recognition of certain point type and so step by step to the qual- ity qf vision which recognizes the finer details. When we consider the strain of modern cixilized life and its ravages on the eyes today and with this coup- le the added strain in reading small print we can readily see that the use of print smaller than 10 point may readily defeat the purpose of its user due to the fact that the field in which it is used is bound to be smaller than the field available by the larger type. The reader of the smaller type can readily read the larger. (To be Continued) SOUTH AFRICAN FRUIT FOR CANADA Shipments Arrive Here in Perfect Condition Montreal, Canada.--More than two months after it was picked and pack- ed in South Africa fresh fruit in the bloom of perfect condition has been on sale in the cifies of Eastern Can- ada. So successful was an initial ship- ment of 120 tons that another supply, amounting to 208 tons, left Cape Town for Canada on March 20 abogrd the S. S. Calgary. Much of the success of this inter- esting trade venture is due to the care taken in the packing of the fruit according to shipping men here. Each piece is wrapped separately in oiled paper, care being taken to send only the finest specimens, and then packed in trays with excelsior or shavings so that all bruising is avoided. The first shipment consisted of 7,200 trays of 'peaches, 2,700 trays of pears, 750 trays of plums, 200 trays of nectar- ines and eighty boxes of grapes, all grown in the warm Hex River Valley 100 miles north of Cape Town. Some of the fruit was sent to Ottawa and Toronto and points in the Maritime Provinces, but the greater part of it found a market in Montreal where the peaches sold at $1 per dozen. A wider distribution will be made of the Calgary's fruit cargo, and part of it probably will be sent to Western Canada. Dr. P. R Botha, South African trade commissioner for Canada and the United States went to Montreal to inspect the first shipment and ex- ressed great pleasure at the way the ruit had stood the long voyage. Consumers echo his satisfaction, and the demand for these products would appear to indicate the probability of developing a permanent and profit- able market for them in Canada in seasons when home-grown fresh fruits are not available. - : Ottawa, Canada.--In ten months to the end of January, 24,497 native- born Canadians returned to their own country from the United States, and in the samagperiod 22,010 Ameri- cans came to this country with the intention of establishing residence. For two years systematic efforts have been directed at the repatriation of Canadians living in the United States. - "CARMT POR ALL=ALL FOR CHRIST : . vied ot POL 22 = 43, |g -- age to thew in after wears "BOAST NOT :--Boast not thyself of tomorrow ; for thou knowest not Yhat a day may bring forth.--Prov.

Last year, according to com- plete figures recently compiled, 4,- 110,000 American automobiles entered Canada for a period not exceeding 24 hours and 1,297,000 others on per- mits good for two months. In the same period 747,000 Canadian cars were registered as visitors in the United States. Official statistics estimate at $280,- 000,0000 the expenditures of tourists in Canada during 1930, which was a decline of only $28,000,000 from the banner year of 1929. Entrants by ocean ports spent $13,000,000. visitors coming by rail and ship from the United States $67,000,000, and motor tourists $202,000,000. The latter sum was about $12,000,000 less than was spent by the same class in the pre- ceding year, although the number of American automobiles increased by 900,000. Canadian travellers in the United States spent about $90,000,000, last year, which proportionately is a heavier expenditure than. made by the Americans in this country. Nev- ertheless there is a heavy balance in favor of Canada on the international tourist trade and it goes far to reduce the balance against the Dominion in the traffic in commodities across the frontier. : The tourist business is increasing rapidly as automobiles become stead- ily more numerous and the network of paved roads on both sides of the border extends and expands. A ma- jority of the American cars enter Canada through the state of Michi- an, at Detroit, and through New ork State at Buffalo, and in an eff- ort to accommodate the endless pro- cession across the Detroit frontier the Detroit river has been both tun- nelled and bridged within the past few months: ASHBURN NEWS Ashburn, April 30--Mr. and Mrs. Lorne Duff and family of Shirley vis- ited at Mr. Russell Taylor's on Sun- day.

WINNIPEG STIRRED BY TONG THUNDER Secretary of Wong Wun Sun Association Fears Outbreak Winnipeg, Man,,--(C.P.)--Spring- time is in the West and the soft breezes and bright weather is spread- ing discontent among Winnipeg's Chinese populafion, according to Yick Wong, secretary of the Wong Wun Sun association. Repetition of last year's bloody struggle in Chinatown looms as rumbles of displeasure spread through the tongs. The numerous funny-little buildings chop suey houses, antique shops and secluded places where gambling pre- vails have opened after the bitter winter months, Everything appears peaceful, but Yick Wong, who knows his Chinese brothers well, espresses fear that the truce cannot last and, with a shrug of his skinny shoulders he states that it is tor the Oriental to say. Thunder of tong war is in the dis- tance, he said, but it may break overhead with lightning flashes un- less the residents of Chinatown pre- vent a recurrence of last year's in- cidents when frenzied tong members clashed with club and cudgel, the first real outbreak in Winnipeg. Wong fears there is an attempt on foot to again. stir up trouble among his brethren. Control of gambling is the sore spot in Winnipeg's China; town.

Rankling defeats of the past, several of them in succession by Regina's rugged Ronghriders, have brought authorities to a point where they have practically decided to fall back on the old 'consolidation scheme." Mighty in their own limited do- main, St. John's have met with no success in the last three years in the sterner playdown warfare. They were champions in Manitoba last year, rated stiff opposition for Sas- katchewan"s champions--and turn- ed out to be just one more pushover for the title-bound Riders of Al Rit- chie. Considering that the Saints were easily Manitoba's and Winni- peg's best, provincial rugby heads have concluded something better must be produced if Regina's per- ennial grip on the prairie title is to be loosened by a squad from this end of the wheat lands. This fall, Winnipeg may turn an all-star city team for inter-provin- cial combat. Players from Mani- toba's three sterling representatives --8t. John's, Winnipegs and Uni- versity of Manitoba--would be pick. ed according to a plan propounded by Bob Priestly, former Manitoba "Varsity coach and secretary of the Manitoba Rugby Football Union, at the annual meeting of the organi- zation. Priestly, with three others, was named to form a committee to bring in a report on the idea. The city would continue to have |' its senior league with three teams operating, but the winning squad would not represent the province in the Western Canada playdowns. Early reports indicate that the titled St. John's may backfield mainspring before ano- ther campaign opens. Eddie James, |' who came to the Saints from Re- gina just a year ago, after leading Roughriders into the Dominion fin- al, again may line up with the Rit Shiomen at the Saskatchewan capi- tal. ers in the country, would leave thr Saints with only one consistent ground-gainer. Little Tommy Mobberley, veteran mite, who, with James formed a menacing threat to opposing defence bulwarks a year ago, is likely to coach St. John's and hobble along in his own slippery way, alone. The slim broken-field expert will be sup- ported by Alf McLoughlin, Leon Tessler and probably a couple of youngsters from Native Sons, jun- for team that went to the Canadian junior finals last year. , The 'Varsity squad is expected to be stronger, and burly Dan Kenne- dy, hefty lineman and forward-pass- er, again may line up with Winni- pegs. But Winnipeg probably will look to all three teams for play-down material.

NAPOLEON NAULT METIS LEADER AND AIDE OF RIEL DIES Lead Rebel Forces in Riel Rebellion in North-west Winnipeg, Man.--Napoleon Nault, 77. famed Metis leader and right-hand man of Louis Riel, of North-west rebellion fame, is dead at Havres, Montana. . It was to the Montana town he fled hen the Riel rebellion was quelled in 1885. Born in Fort Garry in 1864, Nap. oleon Nault grew to he a power among the 'Metis population of French and English origin. March 19, 1885, when Louis Riel decided on armed resistance to sucure the rights of his people, Nault was in the thick of the fray. At Fish Creek with 53 compan- ions, Nault held Middleton's troops at bay for a whole day and then routed them at nightfall. At Ba- toche, near Duck Lake, in northern Saskatchewan, he commanded the Metis forces. Faced with defea Nault refused to surrender and fle to Montana, in which state he passe ed the remainder of his days.
