COWARDLY MOTORISTS Highway tragedies over the recent week- end add to the year's formidable total of cas- ualties, and give more efficient enforcement, In St. Catharines two elderly men were killed outright. The slayer of one fled from the scene of the accident, Despite pursuit he managed to elude identification, No section of the general menace from reckless driving is more abhorrent to Canadian than such unre- garding cowardice, In this city a coroner's jury is yet to render a verdict on the death of a citizen whose slayer, it is presumed, lcft no clue, This form of assassination horrifies but does not intimidate, Public opinion, from which all laws come, is crystallizing in favor of efficient regulation and enforcement of safety meas- ures, Conditions as they exist now are already a serious menace to- all classes and ages and may soon become intolerable. 'Privileges abused are withdrawn by the people who give them, and motorists in gener- al, would do well to remember that as they value their present freedom, they must en- deavor by example, to curb reckless driving. JOIN THE MILITIA That Canada's non-permanent militia units have a definite place in the lives of commuh- ities, in peace as well as war, was again illus- trated by the Ontario Regiment during. Osh- awa's recent Jubilee celebration. A large part of the local program's success rested upon the volunteer soldier and his offi- cers, and they discharged their duties with credit to themselves and honor to the city. Young men in this industrial age no doubt often feel a desire to be of more service to their communities. Too few, however, regard en- listment in a local regiment as coming under the head of "service," or, if they do, some are held back by a dread of "military discipline." There is sueh a thing, of course, but it is no more exacting upon the right sort of man than is membership in any of the older lodges. Membership in the Canadian militia offers many things peculiar to itself. Its comrade- ships play as important a part in peace-time drill and training as in war, Team work is the soul of a good regiment, and no young man can fail to benefit from contact with it, Orderliness, self-control, and pride of service are qualities that distinguish the volunteer citizen in peace, and such qualities are valu- able not only on drill hall floor or parade ground, but in office, shop and foundry. The Ontario Regiment has openings for re- cruits, Young men of Oshawa who feel the obligation of their Canadian heritage should at least investigate the opportunity, TIME THE GREAT CURE-ALL Indulging in humorous comparison between medicine and politics, a politician described nimself as a public practitioner who did not al ways succeed in either satisfying or curing his patients. He confessed that he had been pre- scribing for his "patients" for a long time with complete failure. On the point of the rewards of the physician as compared with those of the public man, he - observed that if the salary of the latter varied with his popularity it would exhibit some ex- traordinary fluctuations. This suggested interpretation of politics in terms of medicine might be pushed in many departments. There are quacks and charla- tans in public life as well as in medicine. tump speakers and soap box orators have a icady nostrum for every political ill or im- aginary political ill. It is just as hard to put them down, or to shake the public's faith in ihem, as it is in the case of medical impostors. On a higher level one may see in politics two Cifferent schools of medicine at work. There are the politicians, or agitators, who are all for immediate major operations. The knife can- not be used too freely or two quickly, in their opinion. Kill or cure is their creed. On the other hand, there are the calmer political practitioners who believe, as do many physi- cians, that many ills are imaginary and that among the others nature can cure some if given a little time and assistance while the rest are incurable. The wice snd poticat Ddolitical leader knows from experience that the "sick: mam" usually gets well if left alone and that too many doe- tors and too many cures usually prove fatal, HOW SAFE IS FLYING? nt Few persons will take exception to the opin- jon that flying is necessary to the welfare of mankind, capable of bringing new joys, new visions and a new outlook in life. But even fewer will agree with the statement that the modern airplane is so safe that to regard a pilot or his passenger as a daredevil is ridicus lous.' i 1s vars air-fearing people must grant some significance to the fact that. fatal acei- dents in aviation are so rare that they are still news. Already aeronauts are predicting the time near at hand when they will be still rarer, In the opinion of aviators, a plane of stan- dard make that has heen tested is, with an experienced pilot on board, almost as safe as a passenger train or trolley car, and safer than an automobile cn a congested highway. As to safety, what better proof could there be than the 5,000,000 miles flown by British Commer- cial planes with but four fatalities and the 1,000,000 miles flown by Australian passenger planes with but a single accident? At this stage of the development of com- mercial flying, it is interesting to read the edi- torial comments of 1845 to the effect that "the largest item in railway returns bids fair to be the list of the killed" and of 1852 setting forth that "railway accidents the the staple of our newspaper reading." Since railroads have attained that high de- gree of safety which makes a passenger coach about the safest place in the world, isn't it | veasonable to predict a time when flying will be as safe or safer, unless traffic congestion increases the hazards of the air? HIGHWAY MENACES Speeding, under certain conditions, is no longer the menace it was once considered. But in its place has grown up a formidable list of abuses which contribute to the Provinces weekly casualty totals, Among thse highway menaces are the gen- eral and seemingly unchecked use of glaring headlights, the use of only one light, and in- and-out driving, $ Strict standardization of automobile lights is a pressing need, For while the glare of light is a menace, it is closely seconded by the weak light, which if approaching rapidly, gives drivers of cars meeting it, a wrong impression of distance, The one-light car sends its solitary beam ahead as a signal of possible disaster, Adding to the hazard of night driving, it is a fruitful source of accidents, Glaring lamps, however, form the real terror of the road, In and out driving derives its special danger from the narrowness of the highways, unstan- dardized lights and recklessness in general, To the driver who can estimate distances with precision, passing other cars may present no special problem, But so many are unable to estimate distance and speed. They "take chances" and one of the results is needless ac- cidents which range between a mere bent fen- der to lifelong injury or death. EDITORIAL NOTES Of course women are better swimmers. Little girls are reconciled to water long before boys are, She isn't really a hopeless old maid until she develops a mania for running other people's affairs. It seems strange that people with phenom- enal memories, will power, and personality, are never heard of except in the advertise- ments. The war taught the world veconomy in the use of everything.

H. A.

H. A, Kent, D, D., principal of Queen's Theological College, Kingston, addressed the Oshawa Rotary Club at the noon luncheon today.

Rotarian Robert Henderson after a hrief husiness session in which the business club was congratulated by Rev. Dr. Kent was introduced by | from Montreal to Oshawa by rail.

The people, he pointed out, feel that they will receive a partner's share in Confederation prosperity. "The prosperity of this Domin- ion," he declared, "depends upon the well-being of all the parts that make up its political entity, My. plea is for more sympathy between the several provinces for each other, mutual understanding, mutual sym- pathy."

Added to these is the problem of Its own resources--coal and steel chief- ly---which are not only vexing in themselves but linked up with one or more of those already stated. Speaking as a native of Nova Seo- tia, Dr. Kent laid emphasis on the vita part the three Atlantic proy- inces played not only in Confedera- tion but in the whole history of British North Aemriea. During the American revolution- ary war the Maritimes had a very considerable body of opinion in fa- vor of throwing in their lot with the American war for independence, the only part of North America speaking English and loyal to the the Maritimes' boundary. Hold Sea Gates, | Their joining with Upper and Lower Canada in Confederation was vital to that event, the speaker de- clared, and without the Maritimes today the Dominion of Canada would be cut off from the Atlantic for six' months of the year, and placed at | the good will of a foreign though friendly nation. "Ong of the conditions of Confed- ! eration was the building of the In-| ed. "It was built as close 'o .the ports of the St. Lawernce, Gulf and seaboard as possible. The reason for | this was to give greater security to British ships and troops that might | be needed for the defense of Central ' Canada. eo | "In 1867 that was a matter of grave anxiety not only to the Fath- | perial authorities. Today we never think of am invasion from our great neighbor to the south, but then the United States had a veteran army of a million men under a victorious general --General Grant. "Following the harbor line of Canada's great waterway to the sea, the Intercolonial is 2560 miles long- er tham it would have been under striet business development. The merchants of the Maritimes, there- fore, have to pay that much addi- tional freight." Dr. Kent then pointed out the Ma- ritimes" geographical isolation from Western Canada which was imereas- ed by the Ashburton Treaty of 1842 which extended the Maine boundar- fies (0 the north, and added to a problem which should grow more vexing with the years. The Maritmes, ¢ was also pointed out, receive subsidies from the Fed- eral Government, as a condition of Confederation, but no revision or in- crease has been made since 1907. That this forms a real grievance Dr. Kent 'eft to the judgment of Oshawa business men who know the differ- ence in purchasing power of the dol- lar today as compared with 20 years ago.
