Bost of those fires, it is declared on auth- were preventable. Nowhere is the i CO for carelessness so swiftly exacted as With fire, but, very often, it is hot the careless pay. Chief Caifiéion of the Oshawa Fire Depart- fnent, working under the authority of the Fire Committee of thé Council of which Ald.

At the end, an old fashioned dance in the "Asmories brought the day's special efforts to a rlose. All this, 8 mingling of community merry- king with sober instruction, will 'deepen public interest and help to keep Oshawa in its en} iable position as regards annual fire loss. | bd BETTER BOYHOOD 3 Qshawa's attendance officer of the public schools has struck a' decidedly original note in asking permission to organize Better Boy- hood' classes, which, permission was granted by! the Board. Just what scheme Mr. Smith will work out in! co-operation with Mr. Cannon, the super- viding principal, remains to be seen, but the public will await further reports hopefiilly and with interest. Athens, the classic center of education, prob- ably had truant officers, but Oshawa is the first to séek a solution of the problem on other than a police basis. % « The Better Boyhood Classics, if they do no more, will give emphasis to the fact that modern thought is recognizing that in under- standing lies the solution of most problems. The so-called "bad boy" is probably the worst misuhderstood youngster in the community. He is known to riin away from school, and it uged to be the fashion to ask no more about 'him. Education asks the reason or, should do so. For there is a reason. It may be heredity. or home cooking of the kind that keeps doc- tors busy. It may be evil companionship or) again; it may be holes in the trousers. All these things have been known to keep boys from school "RT, HON. ARTHUR MEIGHEN Democracy has its moments of sentiment, rare hours in which it regrets conditions which prevent its going: forth in true knightliness to build the walls and towers of an ideal state. A section of democracy: as represented by delégates to the Libgral-Conservative Conven- tion gt Winnipeg entered into such a mood on Monday after listening to Rt. Hon. Arthur eighen's address in which, with Sofne suc- cess, he tried to justify his famous "Hamilton speech." L Premier Ferguson is said to have come in lite for that address, and a few moments after its close he found himself facing a rather vengeful appearance of hostility. He was told to "Sit down," was booed, interrupted, and This is the penalty he pays either for being have no law other than that which obtains™i / the jungle, but even the- jungle may so - times Jament the havoc wrought upon a career stich 'as-Mr. Meighen's. Mr. Meighen may have been right or wrong in his Hamilton speech. His réal. trouble, probably, was that he was too right, too far ahead of the generation that bowed to the yoke of conscription with the splendidly self- late or being out of touch. Politics seem to : veil A . ~ denies honorable buridl to 'wrecked careers. Meighen's was one of those. Patriot, he has by his own party been accused of motives that Judas might have blushed at; scholar, he has seen his words distorted "to make a trap for fools;" a gentleman by nature and his heart's high idealism, he has been subjected to gutter dttacks that, directed at a lesser m#n, would haye brought summary. reprisal. : The Winnipeg Convention will probably not be 'greatly influenced finally by the incident on Monday, but it cannot help being raised to higher plane through endorsing its former leader as a man, whatever it may think of his polieies. | HIGHWAY TREE PLANTING : em From time to time at the Oshawa Rotary Club's weekly meetings, opportunity is afford- ed G. W. McLaughlin to press his plea for. the planting of trees beside the Provincial Highways. Hon. George S. Henry, Ontario minister of highways, was one of the latest to be urged to favorable action in the matter; and on Monday Dr. Doolittle, head of the Cana- dian Automobile Association, was asked to lerid his co-operation. Mr. McLaughlin's hobby is both splendid and practical. - Trees are among the earth's su- preme beauties. Without them few land- scapes 'would : merit a second glance. The radiance of a full moon is enhanced if its beams are filtered through leafy boughs and the sky's deepest blue is best appreciated in contrast with the bronze and ruby of an autumn maple. Yet no other thing comparable in beauty to a tree can be hrought to fruition with so little effort. Plant it, leave it alone, seem to be the major rules of a tree's growth from seedling to towering forest giant. Just how beautiful a highway can be when bordered by trees needs no finer object lesson than that section of the Kingston Highway be- tween Oshawa and Bowmanville where sititious curves pass. through leafy bowers in summer, through fairylands of color in the autuimn. Bvery mile of highway in Ontario could show similiar loveliness within a few years if Mr. McLaughlin's suggestion were carried out. Many a woman who never looked inside a volume of Blackstone is able to lay down the law. | Bit of Verse UPWARD If my feet could take hold on that path that shall know them No more; If my hands could return to.the tasks that enthralled me Of yore; If my mind could go back to the problems I faced in My youth; If my soul could begin all afresh with its quest of The truth; ; If my eyes could but see what they saw in the days of Lang Syne-- < p Sometimes I think that the treasures of life would Be mine.

IRAE TIN i JIE EH William Secattergood of This City Citizens of Oshawa, and in the vi- cinity of Oshawa in particular, are 'rged to co-operate with William Scat- tergood in the protection of a covey of ten pheasants which were recently released by him as a part of a Pro- vince-wide effort to add pheasants to the game birds of Ontario.

To that end, -and as a check on those who "think only'of themsel- ves," he offers a standing reward of $20 for any information leading to the arrest of anyone shooting the pheas- ants. A penalty of $50 is provided for those that do shoot them and are apprehended. The chief hope of those that are trying, as Mr. Scattergood is in co- operation with the department of game . and fisheries, is to got the public inter- ested and to secure its co-operation. Pheasants, it is pointed out, are the king of game birds and the prize of cpcures.
