THURSTON. - Ai4oc Editoi THE HI MAN KQIATION The ttrrible railway wreck al Dun das, Christmas ni(»ht was featureu in all pai>ers after the accident and it was the iffneral opinion that .some one had hlundored and that the hum an equation had once ajfuin enterod jnto a ten ibli- I'ataslroplie. The jH'rson responsible for the accident confessed without any persuasion •'rom anyone and declared that he had thought his train to have come to rest on the main line when ennine trouble developed. When the flyer came rushinfr alontr he turned tht switch. believinK that by so doing he would avert a terrible accident. In- «toad of that he turned the fast trair to the pas.'^inf; track and into the reai of the "special" standing at the sid- ing. Thus in.-^teacl of becoming a national figure ffr his heroic con- duct he became plu.iged into the blackest depth.s of despair for having been the cause of the sma;^h. and from which he will nev«r emerge as lonir «s kc JJVKii. Who cur. judge him for his action? ft was done on a moment's decision when he saw the train apparently bearing down on his own, l>ringing sudden death to scores of hi.s passenger.*. He did liis duty as he saw it, and can he be condemn- ed for this failure? there are .score.- of accidents on the liighways of On- tario with motor vehicles that do not cau.se nearly the sensation of this one accident, one of the few that havt occurred on our railways. It is be- cau.se railway accidents are not num erous that so much publicity was giv- en the occurrence- The railways still remain the safe.st mode of iranspoi tation. It is hoped by the general public that the powers that be will not deal too harshly with this case and consider it from a humane stand- point. We believe that travellers on trains on which he would be work ing, if reinstated, would have perfect confidence in his ability as a train- man, as this was the first instance of him having become entangled in trouble. EUGENIA EDITORIAL NOTES New Year's resolution." I Every- body makes them ami everybody makes them expecting ihiit they will be broken before many days in the new year have pas.«ed. Bu't they are splendid ways of bringing our erring ways before our gaze and if one only make.- an effort to live up to the resolutions he has made, know- ing that he has been in the wrong, now year resolutions are worth while. Have you made yours? Make one row and have your subscription |)ai(i in advance. • • • In the analysis of the recent mayor- ally contest in Toronto we are led to wonder just where to place the value of the big newspaper support of any one contestant for the favor of the Ttoronto clectorati-. In this case the (ilobCj Mail-Knipire and Telegram "were all strong opponents of Mayor- elect .Simpson, while the StHr put up a wonderful fight in favor of the successful candidate. Either the three first mentioned have not the pulling force for which they arc Bonietimes credited, or the Star has very much more persuasive i)owei than it has been cre<lited with. • • • The result of the loronto elections have left some of that city's news- pa)M*r8 wondering what it is all a- bout. Mayor-elect Simpson came out on H C.C.F. policy and bad candi- dates of the same party on both the Board of Control and Ahlermanic slates. None of them were elected except Mr. .S. Simpscm, which show? that I'oronto does not want the C.CF. but were ready to honor Mr. Simp- »on for the .service he ha.« rendered •ioronto in the |)«st. We lrt?live that the worries of three of the four lo- ronto newspapers in the result of Mr. Simpson's election will be ground- less and that the Queen City will en 5oy m» Koo<l government as it has in the past, â- '•'e people were not stam- peded by the sUtements of the To- ronto press that Mr. Simpeon's elec- tion would not be in the best inter- ests of the city. WELL VERSED Father: "T^at young friend a! yours sUys very late. Doesn't he know how to say goml-night?" Daughter: "Oh. ye.s daddy dear; better than any other boy I evei met." Mrs. Alex.

Heart disease in children is either congenital or acquired, IntcrfereTice with normal development brings into the world a child with some defect in his physical structure, such as a haii lip or a-^left palate; in other cases, it is the heart which is not properly formed. There are cases of congen- ital heart disea.se, and such cases an commonly known as blue babies be- cause of the bluish tint of the skin which may be general, or be confined to the lips, 'nose, ears, fingers and toes. .Acquired heart disease, or disease developing after birth in the norm- ally formed heart is, in children, near- ly always the result of rheumatic fever. If we are to succeed in pre- i venting heart disease in childhood and ; among young adults, we must either | prevent the occurrence of rheumatic fever, or treat such cases as develop so that the heart will not suffer any permanent damage. The specific cause of rheumatic fever is not known, but it is generally believed that the disease is due to a germ which gains entrance through the tonsils. This belief is strength- ened because there is usually a his- tory of tonsilitis, sore throat, or other infection of the throat marking the onset of the disease; many consider this to be the first stage of the dis- ease. In older persons, the attack is fairly typical. Following an acute onset, there are joint pains of varying de- gree and severity, accompanied by loss of ajipetite and other symptoms commonly associated with fever. The disease is frequently not sus- pected in young children because there may not be any marked pains in the jointsâ€" the typical symptom in older j>ersons. The pains are often considered as "growing pains". A child may have pains in his extrem- ities as a result of some unusual use of his muscles, or for some othei reason, but never because he is grow- ing. If such pains recur, the child should be examined by a doctor (chorea, or St. Vitus' Dance, is a form or symptom of rheumatic fever. The heart muscles and the heart valves are frequently inflamed as a result of the rheumatic fever infec- tion. That is why rheumatic fevei is a serious disease. There is only one way to treat these case-s, and that is by having them rest in bed as long as the infection is active. This will he a matter of months in many cases. Convalescence must never be hurriec if the heart is to come through with- out serious datnage. Unfortunately, the disease tends tt recur, so the child's throat should be put in a healthy condition and his general health built up. He should avoid any infections of his nose and throat and if they do occur, he should go to IhmI until he has fully recover- ed. A Tom Thumb has been found liv- ing in a remote hamlet of remote Ceylon. He is 10 years old but only 12 inches tall. Bachelors of the Crf»llas tribe, in Abyssinia fortify their hut with spik- ed palisades and traps to protec-l them.u'lves against unmarried girls of the tribe. If a girl succeeds in climbing over the palisade which pro- tects a bachelor's hut and remains in- side tni sunrise without being dis covered, he is forced to marry her. A fish wearing ape -tacles has been landed by an American angler. Ap- parently the glasses had been dropp- ed into the water and had caught on the fish's gills. In Hollywood a baby market has sprung up to supply the demand a- mong childless film actors and ac- tresses for adoptable children. A fifteenth century tombstone has been discovered at Istanbul, Tfurkey, bearing the inscription: "Here lies Leonidas 1 heotokis, who died because of his mother-in-law." Sunshades are provided for fish. "I'he sunshades are made of coarM bamboo matting supporteii over IIm shallow ponds and tanks in wh!i*h fish for mai-ket are kept. A hawk which caught a squirrel io Schweintiz, Silesia, bore it aloft. The squirrel fought in mid-air and killed the hawk. Driver in Toronto hit one car, then cracked another andi finally went through the window of a bakeshop. The man had always lived in Toronto and that probably accounte for his strange actions. We have heard a lot in recent years about youth; how the young people, fed up on the old men who got them into a war and messed up things gen- erally, were going to take hold foi themselves, give us a real world to live in. Actually, it isn't working out that way. Youth, called, doesn't seem to have risen and everywhere the old men, so-called, seem to be running things as before, with some of them coming back to replace the youngsters who did get up. PORTLAW Your correspcmdent enjoyed thi privilege of listening to the King's message, broadcasted to his people throughout the empire. And who could listen to that message without being thrilled, and aroused to intense loyalty and devotion? Especially were we imj)i-ossed when his majesty invoked the divine blessing with "Gcul bless you all." The public school conceit on Thur.^. day evening Inst was a splendid suc- cess. There was a crowded house and the pupils presented an enjoy- able program. Santa Claus was on hand and gave out gifts from the Christmas tree to all the children of the section. Mr. C. D. Meldrun; acted as chairman. Miss Mary Sheardown of Toront> spent some days visiting at hnr par- ental home. Mr. and Mrs. Kobt. Chamberlain of Toronto visited with the latter's par- ents, Mr. and Mrs. ,W. H. Blakey. At the annual school meeting on Wednesday last Mr. Laurie Pedlar was elected trustee in place of Mr. Harry Fisher, who had served for the past six years.

Man at East Windsor was found to be wearing four coats, six pair ol pants and eight .shirts. If he wert married wouldn't his wife have a fine time going through his pockets? Rather than pay a fine of |10.00 and $2.75 costs Donald Camp*>ell, West Lome, took thr«>e days in jail for an offence under the Highway Traffic Act, his idea being that he could not make that much money in that time. He was convk-ted of hauling fish on a truck licensed only to carry farm produce. i WHEN relatives arrive . â-  » and your husband is away . . . and you can't stand the strain by yourself Get him on Long Distance . . . it's the quickest help in any emergency ^If you're in a fix; or you're lonely; or any kind of emergency arises; Long Distance is there to help you, a quick, depend- able, personal messenger; clear and easy to use regardless of distance.
