In the vast army of children who have returned to school, there are hundreds ¥ of little ones who are five.or six years of "age, and who for the first time are ventur- Ying forth without the guidance and care of their parents. They are not accustomed to "crossing streets by themselves, and so a new problem is presented in the matter of 'street safety. : ; Motorists should all recognize this new problem, and should govern themselves ac- cordingly. They have a definite responsi- bility in helping to protect these children from harm. There are signs in the vicinity of most schools, urging motorists to drive "slowly, but these are not always observed. 'There should be no need, however, for such warnings. Motor car drivers should be the first to recognize the right of school chil- dren to cross the streets in safety, and should, of their own volition, govern their driving accordingly. ; In this respect, there is one suggestion 'which might be made to the Oshawa police authorities. Two of the local schools, King Street School and Centre Street School, are s0 located that the children attending them face especial dangers. King Street School 'is on a main highway, while many of the children attending Centre Street School come from the northwest ward, and have "fo cross King Street to reach school. It : would be a wise step on the part of the po- ' lice authorities to place a constable on * guard at these points at times when chil- | dren are crossing to and from school, so as ' to regulate traffic in such a manner as to | provide a maximum of safety for the chil- | dren, To police King Street at the school ! on King Street East and at the intersection | with Centre Street would not be a difficult ®$ask, and it would repay the effort by mak- sure that the children would have ample otection from the heavy traffic at these Poor Sportsmanship Gar Wood, millionaire Detroit motor boat cer, stands condemned in the eyes of all e sportsmen for the trick by which he op ented Kaye Don, the British speed ra- ger, from winning the Harmsworth trophy. i is action in deliberately crossing the line i before the starting gun, in order to earn F@isqualification for himself and for Don, i who, he knew, would keep close to him, and us allow his own second boat in the race win, was typical win at any cost strategy, d the sporting world stands aghast at his dmission that it was a deliberate trick on part. Perhaps he is chuckling over the ner in which he fooled his English op- nent, but he may live to regret his action, he will be, or ought to be, an outcast from the ranks of sportsmen from now on. - It is apparent that there are still some p-called sportsmen in the United States io have not yet learned how to take de- t gracefully. Kaye Donain the first race, wed that his boat, Miss England II, was faster than the Wood entries. Winning e trophy by fair means was thus out of "the question for the Detroiter, so he resor- ted to foul tactics in an effort to keep the trophy in the United States. True, Kaye Don did not have to follow his opponent over the starting line, but what could be more natural than what he, seeing his op- , should -think the race was on, and art after him, while Wood's second entry hi nent streaking®along the course ahead of : stayed behind and coasted around the "eourse to win the race after both of the others had been disqualified. Kaye Don spoke too quickly when he paid a tribute to his opponent as a sportsman and gentleman, His admission of deliber- ate trickery stamps him as being neither, and it will be a long time before he is for- given, even by his own countrymen, for the sharp practice which he adopted in order to keep the Harmsworth trophy from crossing Fifty Years of Service . The St. Thomas Times-Journal a few days ago celebrated its fiftieth anniversary as a newspaper hy the publication of a Gol- den Jubilee Edition of generous proportions and genuine merit. Of particular interest was the reproduction of facsimile pages of the early issues of the St. Thomas Daily Times and the St. Thomas Evening Journal, which were amalgamated in 1918 to make the present paper. Of interest, too, are voluminous historical sketches of the city of St. Thomas, profusely illustrated so as to make a record, in story and picture, of the life of the community during the last half-century. The Times-Journal is to be congratulated, not only on this splendid special edition, but also on having attained fifty years of newspaper service to the community. In a young country like Canada, fifty years of this type of service is a record worthy of note, and in that period, the St. Thomas newspaper and its predecessors have made many contributions to the public life of the community, and to its growth and develop- ment. At fifty years old, the Times-Journal is still a healthy and growing youngster, highly rated among the daily newspapers of the province, and The Times takes this opportunity of offering hearty congratula- tions on the enterprise which has enabled its publishers to celebrate its golden jubilee ir so effective a manner. Editorial Notes Ontario and Durham county farmers are once again showing that, for live stock, they need take second place to none. Their winnings at the C.N.E. have been quite impressive. . MacDonald's new national government, having survived its first challenge, will now be able to go ahead with its program of rebuilding Britain's finances. Yet it does look as if Britain, the sup- posed victor, has been the greatest loser as a result of the world war. Preparing the construction camps in Northern Ontario is taking so long that winter will be here before any work has been started on the highways. And then what? Gar Wood may have kept the Harms- worth, but he has lost something more valuable, the respect of the sporting public.

AIRD - (The Kingston Whig-Standard) The prepared statement put out at Toronto by the Hydro Electric Commission in respect to the payment of $50,000 to Mr. John Aird, Jr. is inter- esting but if one is to accept it at its face value it puts the Commission in a very unfortunate light, The explanation offered for the payment is that it was made for the help given by Mr. Aird to the Commission in regard to the future electrical needs of Eastern Ontario. Inasmuch as the Commission carries a staff of highly paid experts to look into and after the "elec trical needs" of the Province it does not 'listen' well that Mr. Aird, who is neither an expert nor an electrical engineer, should have been called in over the heads of these experts to give assistance and advice to the Commission and then be paid a sum so huge for his few minutes or few weeks service that it probably bulks larger than the com- bined yearlyssalafies of all the experts employed by the Commission, : Manifestly, the thing for the Commission to do now is to drop all its experts and engineers and turn the job over to Mr, Aird! Such valuable ser- vices should not be lost to the Province even tem- porarily. BITS OF HUMOR WORKIN' DAYS A five-day week Ah'd like to see When all am said and done, Ah'd lak a fo'day week--or three Or two, or eben one. : THE CADDIE'S OPINION , Smith was the world's worst golfer, but his motto was "Nil desperandum." One day, after a fearful 'show, he said to his cad- die--"The day I go around this links under 100 I'll give you five shillings." * . "I shan't need it, thanks," replied the caddie, "I'll have my old age pension." : SHORT-SIGHTED An Englishman and an Irishman shared a room. The Englishman was puzzled to see Pat going to bed with his spectacles on, "What's the idea of on, Pat?" he asked. "Well, it's-like this," answered Pat. "I'm so short- sighted that I've got to wear my spectacles to recog- nisc the people I'm dreaming about." BITS OF VERSE DREAMS TO DREAMS going to bed with your 'specs' Out of an emperor's sorrow--for all things done by man Dwelt once in dreams and fancies--the Taj Mahal began, : And all the gazing thousands pass, heedless of the woe Of Shah Jehan, the emperor, three hundred years ago. But seen on azure evenings from over Akbar's tomb, Pale pink on the horizon, across the gathering gloom, One side a floating shadow, the other side a gleam, The Taj Mahal at twilight goes home again to dream. > ~Lord Dunsany, Prize Essay Cream of Barley Camp WALTER WILLIAM BEATTIE, Route No, 44 In Oshawa Times Carrier Boys' Contest, Written by The situation of the Cream of Barley Camp is approximately one mile east of Bowmanville on the King's Highway, Number 2, It was originated by Mr. J.

ENGLISH FARM IS UPTODATE Everything Known To Modern Agriculture Is Used The most the world is to be found at East Grinstead, on. the borders Surrey and Sussex, says Tit-Bits The six hundred acres of land are farmed by a syndicate of three, who have «flled in Mr. Borlase Matthews, who has made a life-long study of the possibili- ties of electricity as applied to farm work. As a result of his gonius, electricity is put to no fewer than sixty-seven different uses on this amazing farm, Each Heehive has a chamber electrically warmed and lighted. Owing to this, the bees begin work earlier in the year and it is reckoned that each hive pro- duces an extra seventeen pounds of honey. The grooming: of horses and ponies is done by a wonderful machine which brushes, curry combs and vacuum cleans them. In the hen-house a special clock turns on first dim and then bright lights in win- ter time, producing artificial sun- rise an hour or more before the real one takes place, The re- pult is better health among the poultry and more eggs in winter, Milking, incubating, hay-dry- ing, insect destruction and plow. ing are all done by electricity. GANDHI SLEEPS ON DECK BENCH Has Half a Ton of Mud on Liner With Him Aboard the 8.8. Rajputana, covered by a shimmering white sheet, Mahatma Gandhi, leader of India's swarming Nationalist myilions, slept on a wooden Lench in the stern of the liner, while deck-patrolling passengers gazed in amazement, It was Gundhi"s day of silence and he slept throughout the day. Half a ton of mud from the sacred Ganges has been brought UNS KIDNEY ean! i up-to-date farm in | of | aboard the Rajputana by Pandit Malaviya, Gandhi's companion. The Pandit converts the mud in- to miniature gods for the purpose of worship. There is also a sup- ply of Ganges water on board for abclution and drinking purposes. A gift of a wealthy admirer of the Pandit made this possible. For the first time in 70 years the Pandit, who is a member of the highest priestly caste of Brah- mins, is dining without bathing or changing his clothes. He is temoaning the fact that permis- slon to bring his own cow with him was denied. To. satisfy the requirement of his religion he Erought along 120 quarts cf ritu- alistic pasteurized milk. Prayers are "held by Gandhi every evening at dusk. "We humbly ask the Giver of all Gifts to give India her fraedom," he rrays before the group of white. 1obed followers. The Mahatma has made friends with the ship's cat, a big black fellow, to which fe feeds goat's milk and with which a shares his Lench nigtly. Gandhi took a turn at pilting tcday for ten minutes. Throwing the wheel sharply to port, he said: "I hope I don't capsize the boat and drown everybody." He made a tour cf the eng re recom and was as intereNed as a school boy. ROME SWEPT BY HOPPER PLAGUE {Cars and Trains Plough Through Masses of | Insects | | Rome, -- A plague of grass- i hoppers which has infested Rome and surrounding countryside has | caused intense anxiety and many pecple, recalling the Biblical plagues, regard it with forebod- ing. Millions and millions of the insects liave been infesting the main thoroughfares of Rome to the seaside resort of Ostia, at- tacking trains, motor cars, swarming through windows like a snowstorm, covering wind- screens of cars. Hundreds of them were caught in car radia- tors, carts and motor cars have hade to plough a way through masses of dead insects and the railway lines also have been strewn with dead grasshoppers. Peasants in the country lighted fires in their flelds in order to get rid of the pests which were driven towards the city. Soldiers were sent to order the peasants to stop lighting fires. Swarms of the insects died as they reached the city where there was noth. ing for them to feedd on. This is the first "insect storm" Rome Los ever experienced but the superstitious regard the plague as a phenomenon of bad portent. SOUTH AFRICAN WOOL GROWERS ARE ORGANIZED Bloemfontein, South Africa--~The wool farmers of South Africa will be organized under the name of the National Wool Growers' As- sociation. - The decision to form a new association of wool growers on a broader scale than the present South African Wool Council was taken at a recent meeting of the Council here, and it was agreed that the campaign for the new organiza- tion should be pushed as rapidly as possible. The council recommended an ex- penditure of $10,000 on organiza- tion and propaganda work for the next five months. The Council felt that this was the most important work that could be accomplished on behalf of the wool industry at the present time, and that the success of the organization movement de- pended largely on a full measure of assistance from organized farmers. A scheme of organization was approved for the Cape Province, and J. C. Lotz was appointed full time organizing secretary for six months. The Free State, Natal and Transvaal members of the execu- tive committees of the respective Provincial wool growers' associa- tions will undertake organization and propaganda work. In the Free State each member of the execu- tive will receive an area to super- vise, and Natal will be divided into North, Midland and East Griqua- land areas. The Wool Council is convinced {that if the organization plan is properly carried out, wool growers will soon be in a position to show a united front on any matter affect- ing the industry, such as uniform classing, judicious rationing of the '| market and packing. | enjoyable | to future. cent earning power. independence.
