WEDNESDAY, MARCH 3, 1926 Oshawa's Health * The people of this city have got the Babit of looking, at the end of each month, for those very inform- ing reports made by the officials of the Board of Health, Oshawa's health is relatively good. Only the most careful of preventive measures keep it in that condition, Each time we read these reports the same question comes to mind, "How much money does the city save by carry- ing on this preventive work so con- tinuously and so efficiently?" It must be a great deal. To get an idea of the amount, one has only to consider what an epidemic cost, not only in money but in lives. The amount saved must easily be ten times the amount spent. Another pleasing feature of these reports is the record of how well the citizens, on the whole, co-oper- ate with the Board of Heglth--"ur- ing February two hundred and fif- teen babies were registered at the clinic, mothers are anxious to keep their children in ,good health by availing themselves of the facilities offered. with pure milk and, meat supped to the citiZens, the babies well look- ed after, checked, Oshawa js in a happy health situa- tion. would That surely shows that the and contagion The Pedlar Banquet On the part of the Pedlar People that was a fine stroke of business, for Oshawa as well as for-them- selves, to invite the two hundred and fifty delegates to the Roads Con- vention to an inspection of their plant and a banquet. Tho delegates from various parts of the Province could not help being impressed with the human and the material resources of Osh- awa, They agreed that what they saw in the Pedlar plant was a rev- elation to them. Now they will real- ize more than ever before what a hustling industrial City this is and how well it is situated, as Frank L. Mason' pointed out,. with regard to the tw¢ great essentials, transporta- tion facilities and labour, A City cannot be otherwise than in a substantial condition when eighty per cent of its workingmen own their own houses. Men who have a stake in the community do not fail to give of their best for.the general welfare of their City, The Public Library A very fine circulation for last year 1% Foported by the chairman of the Library Board. Nearly seventy'geven thousand books were issued fo readers, Of these almost sixty-five thousand were fiction but there is mo objection to that. Fie- tion, especially the kind of fiction that is available on the shelves of Oshawa's Public Library, is good reading:and has value in the devel- opment of the mind, Probably everyone who read the details of the issue of books opened his or Ber eyes wide on finding that 2348 adults and 2,137 juveniles read books ah sociology. That must be a popular subject with the young peo- ple of $his city. Surely the social fabric will be well and truly reform- ed when these boys and iris grow up and put their ideas on social wel- fare into practice. That books on natural sciencé should be read by 248 adults and 750 juveniles is gra- tifying and rather easily explainec but the juvenile run on sociology is mysterious; also, it is encourag- ing. sme Dr. 's article in the same jis- sue of : have been read with much interest. It shows how efficiently and at the same time how economically our library is administered. <The Fish Story \ From Dundas a few 'days ago came a wonderful fish story which everyone wanted to believe. It seem- ed that in that in that town there had been a rainstorm which actual- ly brought down bucketfuls of min- nows, The problem was referred to Professor Bensley, of the University of Toronto who proved to be a kill- joy because he averred that such a thing is impossible scientifically and that some one had spread those little fish around 'there, probably as a trick. What a disappointment! How cold and calculating scientists are! Just when we all wanted to think that something had happened, But, as the sequel shows that the right, though. his verdict was like a cold extraordinary usual, scientist is even douche to those who thought a new It turns out that a town councillor of Dun- discovery had been made. das; who is also an enthusiastic fish- had surplus bait and the rain erman, discarded some of his had pro- vided for these minnows a way of drain. Another fish story exploded by science and facts. escape from the No More Titles Mr. J. 8.

British Coal Report According to despatches, the Bri- tish Royal Commission on the coal situation likely to report this week. It has cost the British tax payer a great deal of money to have the mines kept going since the lat- est strike was some months ago, The other day an Eng- lish economist, told us that there is one feature of the coal situation in the Old Country that almost always escapes attention. It may be stres- sed in the impending report. There are in England and Wales, this authority states, literally hun- dreds of small mining companies producing coal. Naturally, it is ait- ficult for a small company to put in- to practice the economies in produe- tion that a large company would at once avail itself of. Just as the English railways were losing mone, until they all combined into three or four large groups, so the coal mines cannot prosper until some such ar- rangement is made with regard to them, Very probably the Royal Commission wili advise amalgama- tion of some kind but we shall be greatly surprised if nationalization of the mines is advocated as the miners hope it will be. i The Crime Wave "The way of the transgresspr must be kept hard--by magistrates, judges, and juries," says The St. Catharines Standard. It might have added by the public, too, and espee- is threatened ™ = mr -- eople, of whom the United States have many and Canada also has some who pour out their ill-directed sym] pathy to the criminal and altogether forget his victim. The present crime wave is due largely to forgetfulness of the anc- ient law that the way of the trans- gressor is hard; also to a desire to escape another elementary hu- man law that "in the sweat of thy brow thou shalt eat bread". To get money. without worKing for' it is the aim of most criminals. An old maxim that we all know has gone largely out of fashion and is now written thus: Early to rise, Early to bed, | Work like the mischief, And you'll soon be dead. If the old lesson could be re- learned that hard work is The great- est pleasure there is," much of the discontent, jealousy, and crime that we all deplore would exist no longer. Hard work must not be allowed to go out of fashion, Advertising The man who does not advertise probably knows what 'he is doing --but nobody else does, WHAT OTHERS SAY ALL THE QUALIFICATIONS (N.Y, Herald Tribune) If Mussolini had emigrated to this country as a boy he'd have been boss of Tamany Hall by now. CORDIALLY RECEIVED (Pittshurg Observer) The claim was made at an anti- Facisti meeting in Pittsburg recently that American tourists are not safe in the streets of Italy owing to the criminal operations of the Mussolini government. Having spent ten days in Rome and in all about three weeks in Italy this summer, I can deny the statement with emphasis. The civie officals. were always very cordial and all with whom our party came in contact, such as hotel- men, street car and train conduc- tors were careful of our comfort and gave every evidence of welcome to the throngs of visitors. There is a natural grace to Italian politeness which is captivating. Memories of some, taxi-drivers seem to contradict this, but who can point out the land where all of these wear halos? A MATTER OF SALARIES (New York Telegram) Norman Trevor, who _until re- cently was one of the better known players in "Young Blood" at the ing explanation for his going to Hollywood to act in motion pictures. "I must earn a living," he said. "And acting in plays is too hazard- ous. The average season used to be twenty-five weeks. Now the average season js as low as ten weeks, The average that is, for the average actor, Ten weeks' salary a year is not enough to give a man a decent living. The motion picture contracts do not depend on the pub- lic's fancy. If a play is bad the actor is out of luck, If a motion picture is had the actor has already heen paid for the weeks he has worked, And an actor who has a face which photographs and who also happens to be a moderately good actor gets a contract for a year or years, and thas his income is assured. Living costs have trip- led in ten years and our salaries haven't. We must take the work which gives us a chance to meet the new conditions.
