Donevan was the speaker at the meeting of Ritson Read Home and School Club held on 'Tuesday evening. His sup- ject, "School and Health," was one of interest both to the par- ents and the teachers present. tle placed the value of health | ibove that of education but he did not undervalue education. A man with health and education cannot starve, said Dr. Donevan. "Nor is the man with health ever in poverty." Dr, Donevan urged the forming of healthy habits among children. Their diets should be carefully watched and vegetables should form the prin- ciple foodstuffs fed to children. School clinics and nurses are Indispensable to the school and home. 'A few years ago were 180 cases of scarlet fever in the city but due to clinics this number was diminished to 17 rages last year. "Poor ventila- tion in the homes is the cause of most cases of tonsils and ade- noids," said the Doctor, as he stressed the importance of fresh iiv and cleanliness in children's surroundings.

UTILITIES STAFF TO HOLD DANCE IN OFFICE BUILDING In the near future the starf of the Public Utilities Commission will hold a dance on the second ffoor of the new Utilities Building, Before the regular meeting of the Public Utilities Commission was ad- journed last - night the General Manager, C, T, Barnes, stated that he had been asked to put a request bef.re the Commission. "The staff in this building would like to celebrate the tract that they are occupying new quarters by something more than the formal onening program," said Mr. Barnes, "and it has been suggested by some of the office staff that they be al- lowed to hold a dance up stairs here, in the big room, before the space is pariitioned off. I promised that I would bring the matter be- fore the Commission, and ask for the necessary permission. There would, of course, be no expence as far as the Commission itself is con- cerned." : Every member of the Commission looked on the request most favor- ably, and went one step further than they were asked to do when they authorized Mr. Barnes to O.K. a reasonable expenditure for re- freshments on the evening of this social event, The opinion was expressed that the members of the staff had given excellent service, and that some re- cognition of this was only their due, BOY SCOUT NEWS '4th Oshawa Troop On Friday night the troop re- ceived an interesting lecture with slides, on astropomy, by Arthur Slyfield.

RECALLS EARLIER Mrs. Anderson of Nassau Street Is One of Osh- awa's Oldest Residents Elizabeth Jane Anderson, who makes her home in this city at 95 Nassau Street, is an elderly lady of eighty-eight years. That age has not won from her her re- markable knack and love of con- versation, but it was made quite evident to one of The Times re- porters who called on her yester- day. Mrs. Anderson was not born in Oshawa. She came here to live in 1916. Quaker Hill, a small village near Uxbridge, is her home town. Here Mrs. Anderson was born in 1843. She was Elizabeth Jane Hil- borne, but she does not remem- ber her father's name. Her grand- father was Stephen Hilborne of Dutch descent who came to this country from the New England States. Mrs. Anderson could not recall her mother's maiden name but it is believed that she was one of the first white women born in the country surrounding Uxbridge. She was born in 1815 at which time there were very few settlers more than a few miles north of Lake Ontario. Of her earlier life Mrs. Ander- son has a very clear recollection. She went to school at Quaker Hill, a village which took its name from the religion of all the settlers who inhabited it. Toron- to seemed many miles away and it was a big event in anyone's life when they took-a trip into Toron- to. This journey had to be made partly by coach and partly by train. The coach went from Qua- ker Hill to Whitby or to Mark- ham where the travellers board- ed the train that took them to the city. Mrs. Anderson made the trip when she was quite young. She was adopted by a family who took her to Chicago to live, but life in the western states proved any- thing but beneficial to her and she returned to Canada. In 1870 Elizabeth Jane Hil- borne married Egerton Ryerson Anderson, the gon of one of the earliest pioneers in Ontario, His people were algo of Duteh descent. The weddng took place n the Bap- tist' church at Wicklow, Ontario, which is the oldest Baptist church in this part of the country. Eger- ton Anderson and his bride' had never been Quakers themselves, as their parents changed to the Baptist religion shortly after coming from Pennsylvania, Egerton Anderson was a build- er, and a cabinet maker. A re- markable piece of his handiwork now stands in Mrs. Anderson's home. One could not help but ad- mire the beautiful wood of which this old-fashioned dining-room cupboard is made, nor the intri- cate carving that adorns it. Mrs. Anderson possesses it with pride and states that it will never be let ont of the family. Anbther 'pos- session of which she is equally proud is an old earthenware tea- pot, rather gaudy in its gilt dec- oration and brightly colored flow- ers, but beautiful because of its age. It dates back to well over two hundred years. It was brought to this country by Mrs. Ander- son's grandparents and there is a possibility that it was originally from Holland, from whence Mrs. Anderson's ancestors came to make their homes in the new world. It is a quaint piece of pot- tery but it still brews a good cup of tea, Mrs. Anderson agrees, This old lady who is in com- paratively good health for her years, occuples her time doing simple tasks about her home, Ow- ing to the difficulty she has in seeing to read and a slight deaf- ness Mrs, Anderson dwells much on the past as she sits in her mod- est little home in her easy chair Vby the window looking out on a world that is gradually getting ahead of her. Her memory is very active and she recalls things that happened when this part of the country was just beginning to be settled. When asked if she had ever been in Oshawa before com- ing here in 1916 to live she ans. wered that she had passed through it on several Qccasions on the train but she had always Just considered it a tiny village on the water-front. It held no im- portance for her, then, as it does now, for her three sons, William, Frederick and Joseph live here, William and Joseph with their families and Frederick with her, Edgar, another son, is in the fur- niture business in Galt. Two daughters of Mrs. Anderson are Mrs. Murdock McFadden of Tor- onto and Charlotte Anderson also of Toronto. Mrs. McPhail of Dry- den, and Mrs. Betts, of Yorkton, and David Hilborne, of Tennessee are sisters and a brother of Mrs, Anderson, : Mix 3% cup honey and ec rich milk.

The better class woman now turns criminal more readily than her poorer sister." These are state- ments in a book on "Woman and Crime" by Cecil Bishop. He says further that women have more imagination than men, and the problems with which they face the detective are in consequence much more difficult. Practically every burglar now uses a woman decoy, whom he trains as an ex- pert driver; and, as Mr, Bishop points out, her clean record will probably save her from punish ment on" The first occasion on which she is detected, In the great majority of cases she has slipped into crime owing to some lapse from the moral code which, however, reprehensible, is not criminal at all, Once thus be- trayed into criminal circles, her sex becomes her greatest weapon. It 18 common to ascribe these evils to the War, in the author's view the War was merely an 'ir- ritant which brought into prom- inence social diseases which had hitherto lain dorman.' In part they are due to the claim for equality between the sexes, which is translated by the advanced thinker into an equally low moral standard for beth of them; in part by the invincible reluctance of parents to acquaint their child- ren with the elementary facts of existence, L Countless girls might have, been saved from shipwreck by a little knowledge; and Mr, Bishop deplores the abolition of married women teachers who, under suit able safeguards, might give the very tuition which the parents too often shirk, .

In despair Mr, Bishop is driven to prefer the Continental system of licence and registration. He has a good deal to say about over- crowding in town and country slums, but the most serjous prob- lem of all is the vicious foreman or employer who gains his ends by the menace of dismissal, At present the law cannot touch him; but the Times thinks it should not be beyond the wit of the Home Office to draft a new section to the various Crim- inal Law Amendment Acts which would protect his victims, The question of criminal assaults where consent is a defence is much more difficult, Countless juries have been directed that the consent must be a real con- sent and not a mere submission to superior physical force, but the percentage of acquittals in these cares is extremely high. Indeed, the advent of women on juries has made it more difficult to obtain a conviction, the attis tude of respectable women bein that no other respectable woman would allow herself to be foun in such compromising clircum=JSgs stances and that probably both were to blame! a Judge: "You are convicted of beating vour wife, I fine you tem and sixpence."
