MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 21st, 1931 The Red Cross Appeal The season's work of the Oshawa Red Cross Society in taking care of sick and un- der-nourished children at the Red Cross Cottage by the lake is over. During the last three months, between 150 and 200 children have been cared for at this haven of rest and health-building, and wonderful results. have been accomplished. What these weeks of holiday, good food and ex" pert care have meant to these children will never be realized by anyone but themselves and their families, but it has been a work deserving of the sympathy and co-operation of the whole community. In view of the splendid work which has been done, it is distressing to learn that the Red Cross Society has incurred a substan- tial deficit in taking care of the children at the Red Cross Cottage, Every year, gen- erously-disposed citizens have provided ample funds to take care of the obligations of the society in operating the Red Cross Cottage. This year, however, the amount subscribed is far short of the requirements of the work, and the society is appealing to the citizens to share the burden of meeting this deficit. It is always difficult to secure finances for any task after the task is com- pleted, but in this case there should be no hesitation on the part of those citizens who can afford to do so in coming forward with finances to meet the debt which has been incurred. The cause is a worthy one, and there should be an immediate and generous response to the appeal of the Red Cross Society for donations io enable it to bal- ance its books for the 1931 operation of the Red Cross Cottage. Homes For the Unemployed A considerable amount of controversy has been aroused in Toronto because of the action of the authorities in clearing an army ! of unemployed men, without homes, out of the Don Valley, where they had set up a camp. This step is being taken, it is stat- ed for sanitary reasons, yet no suggestion is made by the Toronto civic authorities as to where these men are to go. In this connection, Dr. F. W. Marlow, of ' Toronto, puts forward an idea which has : much merit in it. He suggests that some of "the buildings at the Exhibition Grounds, Toronto, be fitted up as winter quarters for 'the homeless unemployed men, and that - they be billeted there during the winter * months. When the war was on, these build- : ings were used each winter as barracks for the soldiers in training, so that there is no : problem in utilizing them for the same pur- « pose for the army of unemployed. In fact, it might be worth while to establish an un- + employed camp there, and to have a branch of the government's employment service located right in the same building so that the men will have, easily available, inform- ation as to any work that may be at their disposal. Matters of discipline, organiza- tion, and so on, would have to be worked « out, but that would not be difficult were * the Toronto civic authorities to deal with ie problem systematically, and with the « end in view of providing comfortable win- * ter accommodation for those men who, without homes or friends, find themselves thrown on the streets because there is no work for them to do. War Clouds The world was startled the other day to read of an outbreak of open hostilities be- ' tween Japanese and Chinese troops in Man- churia, where the Japanese bombarded the . important city of Mukden, capital of the : ce, and captured. An incident of this _ kind might well have in it the making of a major conflict between the two great na- _ tions of the Orient, and such a war would "be a terrible catastrophe in the present - condition of the world. © What cause this flare-up in Manchuria is ' not easily apparent, but the average man is liable to take the view that the Japanese are just a little more aggressive than they * have any right to be. Ever since the Rus. ~ so-Japanese war of twenty-five years ago + Japan has been casting envious eyes on _ Manchuria. For a number of years, Jap- an has had control of the South Manchur- "jan Railway, and it is apparently because of _ the raids made by bandits on this property that the new trouble has arisen. But to ~ * deal ruthlessly with bandits is quite a dif- ! ferent thing to bombarding a defenceless . city, and it is likely that the Japanese gov- ernment will have to do a great deal of ex- plaining to satisfy the rest of the world that it is not guilty of aggression. The Japanese government, it is explain- ed, is anxious to localize the trouble and keep it from spreading. That is tanta- mount to saying, "Now that we have taken what we want, we have no desire to fight any more." The danger which exists, how- ever, is that the Chinese government may resent the raids of the Japanese troops, and make this an excuse for rising up in arms, It is a serious situation, tempered, perhaps, by the helplessness of China to make effec- tive resistance against the well-trained and disciplined Japanese troops. In spite of this, however, there is danger of a general conflict in the Orient, unless the League of Nations can take cognizance of the situa- tion and bring pressure to bear on the two parties to settle whatever difference they may have without bloodshed. This, nev- ertheless, must be qualified by the state- ment that it is always harder to stop a war after the first shots have been fired than to forestall it while the parties are still at the negotiation stage. This is what makes Japan's action in taking military ac- tion so incomprehensible, and creates the possibility of the war clouds in Manchuria breaking out into a storm that may en- velop the world. Editorial Notes One of the western presbyteries of the United Church asks the government to sen 5,000,000 bushels of wheat to China to feed the Chinese who are facing starvation there. It would be more to the point were the government to provide the same amount to feed the thousands who are fac- ing starvation in our own country. This is a good time to practice that form of charity that begins at home. The scouts' jamboree taught a great many citizens of Oshawa that the scouts are being given a splendid training in use- ful citizenship. Apple crop prospects in this part of On- tario are excellent, But it, will probably be just as difficult as ever to purchase real- ly good apples in this country. With the fall fair over, we can now be- gin to dig in for the winter. Doesn't it give you a funny feeling, at this time of the year, to look at an empty coal-bin. If Great Britain decides to institute a system of tariffs, it may be possible to have real British Empire preference. New Zealand has followed Britain's lead and has instituted a national Government to deal with the economic crisis. Perhaps gangs may come to the same thing before ong. | Other Editor's Comments RAILWAYS HAVE DIFFICULT TIME (Kitchener Record) Unlike the babbling brook described by the poet as going on forever seemingly the electric railways are doomed "to live and die," The latest railway to succumb to the competitive influence of the ubiq- uitous motor car is the scenic belt line at Niagara ,Falls which ran along the gorge. The line has been in operation for 40 years and in the heyday of its existence served its purpose well, Street railways arc faced with similar competition and as time goes on the struggle for existence is becoming more for- midable, More cars naturally result in fewer pas- sengers for the street cars. Apart from the wave of retrenchment sweeping the country since business has become less brisk, there is no gain-saying the fact that the 29,087 decrease in the number of pas- sengers carried on the Kitchener-Waterloo railway during July last as compared with the same period a year ago is attributable in part to the greater use of the automobile in the Twin City.

Beatrice (nodding)~And if he doesn't ask, mo- ther? Mother--In that case, tell him I want to speak to him, "What are you doing now?"

"Oh, yes, they have their little quarrels, but then we buy a new goat." -- "Were you one of the many fooling with the stock market?" : : "Not me. I was serious; the market did the fool- ng.

BITS OF VERSE DEAR LITTLE GRANDMA OF MINE The wreath of silver God placed on your brow Is a diadem plucked from His thtone. And if I've caused you grief, by word or by deed Little Grandma, I'll live to atone! Your frail little hands that are threaded with blue And are folded in peace on your knee, Ungelfishly down the long strefch of the years, Have been lovingly caring for me. Your mouth in repose, is so tenderly sweet, And great patience hath given it charms, When it smiles, all the world seems a rainbow of ight; When it chides, I find love in your arms, Your face is so patient, so noble and kind, The strength of your soul lives there, Both sadness and joy have been traced on your face. Which is crowned with your silvery hair, ~Jean Langley, Let Teachers Censor The Movie Films By Arthur W, Beall, M.A, Whitby, Ontario Whether for weal or for woe, moving pictures are essentially educational in their character and influence, This is true view- ed from any angle--national, economic, social or spirituals, This last is the most important of all, for "the soul of all improve- ment ig the improvement of the doul." Eighty-five per cent, of the films exhibited in Canada are American in their origin, The great majority of these are in the Lighest degree subversive of the morals of our children-- destructive of Christ's eternal plan and purpose for youth, The Saviour of mankind placed "the Child in the midst," There, bhe- fore the gaze of churchmen and statesmen and patriots, in the noon day splendor, the child be- comes the supreme pinnacle of all human values, In the public, separate, and secondary schools of Ontario, there are over 700,000 pupils. These future fathers and moth- ers are potentially worth at least $60,000 each to Canada, outclass- ing, as they do, and eclipsing, in stable and ever increasing value, all our Cobalts and Rouyns and Copper Cliffs, Our "children are the hope of the Church and of the Nation, and constitute a great resource that must be pre- gerved and effectually safeguard- ed, In order to conserve and pre- serve them from the evil influ- ences of the motion pictures, a change is necessary. 1 strongly urge that the con- trol and censorship of motion pictures be transferred from its present department--that of the Provincial Treasurer-- to the Minister and Department of Edu- cation. The teachers of this Province have the youth under their supervision for twenty-five to thirty hours a week for ten months of the year, They are well fitted by training to ap- praise what is harmful to the young lives entrusted to their care, Ag lecturer on eugenics and personal hygiene for twenty-five years in the Public and High Schoolg of Ontario, I have had an unique and province wide ex- perience, meeting hundreds of teachers, I'iner specimens of symmetrical and cultured Christ- jan manhood and womanhood it would be difficult to find. Their one touchstone regarding the ex- tra mural environment of their pupils invariably is:--Will those influences {inevitably tend to make our young Canadians pure or impure, noble or degraded, law abiding or lawless, patriotic and sacrificial, or sensual and licentious? If all censors were chosen automatically from among our teachers, films would be more carefully selected, The interests of theatre owners and of Holly- wood are not the only ones to be considered. At all Lazards the youth must be protected, and this plea applies with equal force to all the Provinces of this Domin- fon, There is great need for the co- ordination of all public spirited bodies lay and cleric, and of individuals, in an effort that is correlated rather than temporary and spasmodic, and, under the leadership of the Department of Education, which has to Jo prim- arily with the young people rather than that of the Finance Department, the work of censor- ghip would, without reflecting in any degree upon the present management, likely be more ef- fectually and intelligently donc than at the present, In my opinion the in making our feachers, those who know and understand youth, the censors of all movie films. Eye Care and Strain by C. H, Tuck, Ope, D, | (Copyright, 1928) THE CHILD AND ITS DEVELOP. MENT HYGIENE PART 2 If anyone would enjoy good health, it {s necessary to. eat right, sleep right, and exercise, If the routine is improperly in- terrupted the good of all or any- one of these is less effective to the final detriment of health. At any and at all times, it is esgential to be careful of our diet and see that it is properly regu- lated --regulated to suit the ine dividual, The individual alone should know what is best to use or to aveld. One person may thrive on .rich, greasy food and another on corned beef and cab- bage, but reverse this order and each is unduly upset, These are extreme but for {illustration can best prove the point, The same is true of the eyes. One child or adult may do a piece of work with no apparent effort, while to another much en- ergy is used, The strain of mod- ern life falls heavily on the eyes. It 1s to the best interests of your mental and physical welfare that they be right, If you are not sure about your eyes, make sure, Much poor health comes from im- perfect eyes. (To be continued) Every cloud has its silver lining, though at the height of a polit- ical monsoon it Is not always easy to catch a glimpse of the edges. Stormm clouds are apt to occupy the whole sky in one threatening mass and if there are any edges at all they are somewhere beyond the horizon. From time to time lately a little more light has filtered through the edges of the horizon into the arena of public thought in the matter of municipal ownership of public utilities and government control of business, We ave mildly surprised that so many people in various sections should leave themselves oben to the jibe that they are catspaws in the hands of a number of our su. per-politicians, who are doing their best to make this country another Russia. We can't see why many people should approach on tiptoes, so to speak, a subject by the nature of its magnitude and its bearing on the prosperity of this country of ours, Why speak in hushed tones while the radicals roar as hungry lions, eager to destroy industry? THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE WELFARE OF THE COUNTRY AT HEART SHOULD ROAR BACK SO LOUD THAT IT WILL DROWN OUT THE HYMNS OF HATE SO LURTILY SUNG BY THE RADICAL POLITICIANS.

A, Guild of Chi- cago, a member of the Wicker- sham Sub-Committee on Law En- forcement, Speaking before the American Association of Origicial Surgeons, he said: ""A man, intelligent and well- educated, wag continually short in his books while working for various merchandise stores. While he was In jail I removed his ap- pendix. Now he is manager of a large chain store in Chicago. "A forger was in jail for his fourth offense. When he got out he saw a Salvation Army Band. So he stepped into a cig- ar store, forged a cheque for $5, cashed it, and placed the money on the drum, I removed his 'grapevines appendix' and he was cured of forging cheques." One day after a fearful show he said to hig caddie: "The day I go round these links under 100 I'll give you five shillings." The city man sometimes loses money through share ignerance.

Is Ovne-Haif Your Income Insured? » » » OU wouldn't care to live on less than one-half your present earnings, would you? Neither would you want your family to struggle along, alone, on any smaller amount. That is why it is wise for you to insure that at least one-half of your income will continue. You can do it easily and economically by investing only a few dollars in Life Insurance. For example, if your earnings are $44 a week--you should own Life Insurance sufficient to yield a weekly return of at least one-half that amount. That would mean protection for your wife and family --or, if you live, provision for your own old age.
