THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 27, 1932 FEARTS THOUGHT BASIS OF PARLEY Hope Brighter for Britain. "France Agreement, Says % French Paper Paris, Jan. 27 France's fear thdt she is becoming isolated in 'the trend of international affairs is believed-to have inspired the Government's movement toward a closer friendship with Great Britain, This coincided with prepara- tions for the forthcoming con- ference between Premier Laval and Prime Minister J. Ramsay cDonald" of Britain, presum- ably for an attempt to untangle the réparations deadlock which has threateneq gvave consequ- ences because of the opposing viewpoints of France and Ger- many. Britain and Ttaly have tended to swing more toward the German' demand for complete cancellation, The hope of an 'accord fis brighter than in past weeks, the gemi-official Le Temps said in commenting on the prospects for a reparations agreement bétween Britain and France, It added: "It is the only way to prepare for a solution of the crisis caused by Germany's attitdde," which is that she cannot pay. Should Keep Old Friends | On the 'other side, La Volonte lwarned that an agreement would mean indirect concessions ' and sacrifices' to "Germany, without any moral benefit for France, It said France should keep old friends and- try to gain new ones. Many sources voiced uneasiness because, "of sinister rumors," vhiech have been voiced about France, La Volonte said, adding: "We must not attach faith to these rumors, such as false re- ports of mobilization. War, des- pite what is said, is not for to- JOMINION'S TRADE POLICY GRITICIZ ondon - Financial News Sees-Conflict at Ottawa Parley London, Jan. 26.--The Finan- 'jal News, commenting on a re- ent address by Hon. H H. Btevens, in which the Canadian finister of Trade and Commerce eviewed Canada's economic posi- ion say it is necessary that Can- da: should have a clearer con- eption of the policy of trade if' he Ottawa Imperial Economic Olllerencs- is to yield z004 re u ts PEROY CANNING Of Canning's Limited, - men's clothing stere, which is offer. ing special values for the Com- munity Shopping Drive, The newspaper said Mr. Stev- ens was emphatic that, howéver much Imperial trade may be ex- tended, Canada must still push her exports in the big importing countries of Europe. In this there is clearly potential incompatibil- ity, the Financial News contin- ued, but there is greater blind- ness to broad facts when Mr. Stevens insists European coun- tries should be rich enough to buy Canadian produce in plenty, but neglects the fact that in the long run they can become more prosperous only by securing bet- ter markets in countries such, as Canada for their manufactures. It is impossible to increase Imperial trade so as to help ex- ports of produce, to exclude through tariffs non-Tmperial goods-with 'that purpose in sight, to increase European purchasing power and so sell more produce and fostér manufacturing indus- tries all at' the Same time, the newspaper added. GIRL ATHLETE IS GIVEN DECORATION BY NATIVE COUNTRY Toronto.--The Silver Cross of Merit has been 'bestowed upon Stella Walsh by the government of Poland. The order was bestow- ed on the famous Steila for her sprinting performances as a. Po- fish citizen. Although Stella will run for the United States at the Olympics next year, she competed under Polish colors at the 1930 women's world games at Prague, Czechoslovakia. Canadian girls will never forget the famous Stel- la, who broke into sport limelight in 1929 at the Millrose A.C. games in New York when she amazed the world by defeating the Cana- dian entrants of Myrtle Cook Me- MEN AND WOMEN | ~ EQUAL IN RUSSIA Disregard for for Difference i in Sexes Is Very Noticeable La ------ Montreal, Que.--Dr. Felix Wal- ter, professor of Romance Lan- guages in the University of Tor- onto, speaking in this eity on his trip 'to Russia last summer, dis- eussed social conditions generally and emphasized the utter disre- 'Irard for ordinary sex differences by pointing out that it was no un- {;ommon sight to see two soccer teams at play, one composed of Isix men and five women, the other 'of mine women and two men. Men {and women, he pointed out, are in Rubsia on a basis of absolute equality. The spirit of university stu- dents, too, is different from the spirit of the same «class here, One professor to whom Dr. Walter spoke declared that his. greatest difficulty lay in handling students who insisted on turning in more essays than they were asked to write, WOULD USE MORE CANADIAN WOODS Woman Claims Canadians Know Little of Own Trees Edmonton, Alta. -- Zoe Trop- pers, in the Journal writes: A young Edmonton matron said the other day "It I ever build my Can- adian home I will utilize Canadian woods to the greatest possible ad- vantage. That is one of the things I intend to study and one of the things most Canadians seem to know nothing about. In older countries, England particularly.

"But that wasn't what I meant, The first thing I am going to do is buy some of the excellent and inexpensive prints of pictures by Canadian artists that hang in the National gallery at Ottawa for the children's rooms. I am doing them over in the spring and I will try out my ideas therpg first before in- troducing them into other parts of the house.

OTTAWA PLANNING EARLY REVISION OF INSURANCE ACT Will Seek to Bring Law in Line With Decision by Privy Council Ottawa, Jan, 26. -- The ap- proach of the session of Parlia- ment is accompanied by indica- tions that, at the start, the agen- da will not be large or compre- hensive. The estimates ~f public exrenditures will be ready as goon as the opening formalities are concluded and these will fur- nish something to talk about un- til legislation of a more novel 87 mere "important character is available. Insurance Act amend- ments are also in preparation and these are about all of any im- rortance or the present. Other things will probably develop as the session goes on. The railway situation continues to stand out predominantly, But, of course, nothing can be done abeut it until the Commission re- ports, and this is expected only at the end of March or in April. It will then be a question of con- sidering the report and its re- medial recommendations, decid- ing whether or not they are de- sirable and if they are desirable, embodying them in the form of legislation. It will be agreed that any suggested changes must be carried out by an act of Par- liament rather than be left to the systems to carry out. Reforms Await Report The specific authority of Par- liament will be required for any refogms to which it is desirea to give effect. Until the report comes down, however, it is con- sidered that criticism or even dis- cussion of a questton which is subjudice is of questionable util- it¥ if not actually injurious, Another potefitial subject of jepislation may arise out of the report to come in soon from Sir Alexander Gibb dealing with Can- adian ports and port authorities. fhe fundamental function of this = investigation is to save money. Heretofore, there has Leen a keen and aggressive riv- alry between the different harbor Loards, each stimulated bv local pride. They have extensively cap~ italized the future and are n- debted to the Treasury for stag- goring amounts, Montreal and Vancouver, however, have been in the habit of paying their way. Cortain-other ports show a ser- fous accumulation of arrears in interest, Facilities are duplicat- ed to some extent and a consié- epalle number of them are likely to become obsolete for lack of ute. The Government is insistent on a closer supervision and the'eon- trol of all such bodies, whether or not thelr operatiofis are modified. Centralized diraction by-a com- mission is being mentioned. Sir Alexander Gibb was asked to red port on a desirable solution, His fingings may be expressed in leg- islotion, Insurance Act Revision A measure now in preparation involves a revision of the Insur- have been attacked and a recent judgment of the Privy Councjl permits the provinces to share' with the Dominion I» certain reg- ulative powers which are exercis- ed. The main purpose of the proposed bill will be to bring the act into conformity with. this de- cision. It appears, however, that, so far at least, Ontario is the on- he province seeking to leave nu thority in this field with the Do- ryinion Government, To the oth- ers the inclination is attrivuted of leaving the ingpection and sup~ ervision to the Dominion. The in« surance companies prefer dealing with one authority.than with ten. Much more interest than may be apparent on the surface is tak-' en in the projected, bill to curtail the powers of the Civil Service Commission, and, in to have most appointmen! to the outside service made, as in the old days, on the recommendation of the members. They have) al- | 'weys claimed: that Cn was not abolished but za unce Act. Certain features 'of it, transferred fror: themselves to the commission, Its discretion- \ary authority is very large in many cases; the merit system by gimpetitiye examination predom- ates in others. Situation is Delicate The situation is potentially delicate for the Government, It wiil be a public bill on which it may or may not pronounce itself. Tast year, it came out in opposi- tion to the measure. This year; the bill appears to have enlisted rich support. Therefore, with- out division, it will likely, go to a committee of all parties, If there is reasonable committee asreement," it will be given the needed facilities for enactment on the statute, Certainly, if the Gagnon Bill should pass, the re- formation in civil service ap- rointments instituted some years ago would be subject to an ex- tensive degree of disturbance if not nullification. Whatever party is in , power, the Government encounters the persistent importunities of Its fcllewers who demand an amend- ment to the Civil Service Act to the end that in their own bali- wicks they may suggest appoint- nents. They would fire and hire, The King Government had much difficulty of this mature and the present Givernment has more. So it is conceivable that, in place of this bill's being considered on party line, a good many Liberals as well as Conservatives may be inclined to support it in the light of experience. The supporters of the change will encounter the organized op- position of Civil Service bodies and others upholding the merit gystem as both the fairest and most efficient factor in the public service. Many important appointments are still pending ana may be an- nounced at any day. These are: the Lieutenant-Governor of On- Onterio, Supreme and Exchequer Court Judges, four Senators and several Deputy Ministers, The problem is not only one of selec- tion, but in such cases as judge- ships, of securing men of superior gualification. Such appointees are often difficult to find. No session ever approached with a greater paucity of private legislation. At the bills of this character so far are some 30 from Quebec for divorces. The load of divorce bills is very light since the session before last Par- lament conferred jurisdiction on the courts of Ontario in this sphere and thus found relief for vhat was coming to be an firri- tating and intolerable burden. "Your engine's missing," re- marked the mechanic. "I know it," growled the motorist, "and I wish the whole dash car was, so I could collect on my theft insur- ance.' DRASTIC CHANGE IN LONDON POLICE System of Regular. Belts For Constables Is Abolished London, Jan. 26--The most revol- utionary change for a century in the patrolling of London's streets bv policemen is that evolved by Vis- count Byng, former Commissioner of Metropolitan Police, and a form- er Governor-General of Canada-- the abolition of the system of reg- ular beats--was put into effect re- cently, By this system the police- man on patrol duty has a chance of surprisin~ ths crooks at their ner farious' work instead of virtually nor tifying them of his approach, as in the old days. Hitherto each policeman has had a stinulated area to cover. He work- cd his beat to a tinre-table, and had to meet his superior officer at reg- ula: intervals. So regular were his movements that wrong-doers knew that once he passed a particular spot he would not return for some time. The policemap now is likely to come round the corner at unex- pected moments. Fach time he re- norts he will be directed how to work his area during his time on duty. Cars and motor-cycle com- biaations will be employed to send out other "surprise" patrols during night 'and to transfer men on duty to other districts at a min.' notice. An addition of men to the Craminal Investigation Department, the extension of the Scotland Yard Wireless net and wider scopé for the Mobile Police are other steps shortly to be taken in this great scheine of reorganization. ROBIN REDBREAST GIVEN BAD NAME London. Robin Redbreast has been given a bad name by Viscount Grey of Fallodon, a not- ed bird fancier as well as famous Pritish Statesman and The Man- chester Guardian, London edi- tion, in 'an editorial comments upon this as follows: "Moved by that famous 'pathetic fallacy' which has provided so many pret- ty images and some messages of great poetry, we have invested the redbreast with an atmosphere of henevolence that is singular- ly absent from his own behav- jour." Viscount Grey's adverse re- marks about the robin wete made in u recent address at Edinburgh on birds, mostly wild-fowl, whose habits he had studied at Fallo- don. Speaking of the robin he taid its life history was not al- together pleasant, It was most Cold Ins a sore throat!" It's a wise plan rheumatism, urance He carries it with him, ready for just such times. That little box of Aspirin tablets. If he catches cold, what of it? Aspirin will stop it. If his throat feels sore, he will end the soreness with one good gargle made from these tablets, Dangerous complications can follow the neglect of "a common cold!" Every case of tonsilitis began with "just to take Aspirin after any undue exposure to bad weather, or whenever there is any chance that you've caught cold. Aspirin can't possibly hurt you; and how it does banish the aches and pains caused by colds, neuralgia, neuritis, lumbago, and even Aspirin will insure your comfort through the worst cold season.

"Each bird had its own territory dur- ing that time, and there were tre- mendous quarrels, sometimes re- sulting in death, 'if robins, males or females, encroached on one another's territory. YOUTHS LIKE CURLING Halifax, N.S.--The royal and ancient game of curling, long con- sidered an "old man's sport," hag at last fallen a victim of youth. What is believed to be the first boys' curling club in the game's history on this continent was formed in Halifax, when, early this month, the sons of members of the Hulifax Curling Club or= ganized the Boys' Associate Cur- ling Club, with a membership of twenty-four. A prominent Halifax curler and sportsman has donated a trophy which will be put up for competition among the. boy eur- lers, Six rinks have been formed and league matches will be coms menced shortly, MANY RINKS IN MONTREAL Montreal, Que.--Open-air skat- ing rinks controlled' by the city of Montreal to the number of 100 are attracting crowds daily, The de- mands are such that 10 more rinks have been provided this win- ter than last, besides which pre= parations are being made for opening another hundred on pri- vate lots, OSHAWA COMMUNITY SHOPPI DAYS NG id Community Days Shopping SALE PRICES "HOT WATER BOTTLE 89¢ GUARANTEED 2 YEARS RUSSIAN OIL 16 oz. size G9 Best OLIVE OIL 16 oz. size $§€ GIN PILLS 35¢ DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS 35¢ GIN PILLS 35¢ CARTER'S LIVER PILLS 2lc V BISURATED MAGNESIA 63c Kepler's Malt & FAIRSEX SOAP 5 for 25¢ Cod Liver Oil 95¢ & $1.50 NERVILINE 32¢ Heat MILBURN'S 45¢ CHASE'S Kidney & Liver 25¢ & Nerve « CHASE'S NERVE FOOD 50c \ CHASE'S OINTMENT 50c WILLIAMS' VIOLET'SOAP 4 for 25¢ - VELVET-EDGE * BLADES , 35¢ ~~ ToDDY 29¢ & 49c¢ VI-TONE 29¢ & 49¢ MILK OF MAGNESIA 16 oz. size 3§€ MAG-LAC TOOTH PASTE SLOAN'S LINIMENT 29¢ KELLOGG'S ASTHMA 28¢c & 90c 1 PAL BLADES VACUUM BOTTLES 25¢ 'AWoodward's GRIPE WATER 57¢ i 'SCOTT'S EMULSION 49¢ & 99¢ "Waterbury's COD LIVER 93c AY KKOVAH Health Salts 20c 2 VACUUM KIT Complete 1] THERMOGENE for 35¢ 49c STATIONERY Reg. $1.
