THURSDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1927 Rn = a CHANNEL SWIM HOAX Dr. Dorothy Logan, English Channel swim- ming aspirant, is said to be.under a fire of resentful criticism from the British press over her pre-arranged hoax. Her purpose, she states, was a "fake to end fakes," and her sincerity has been amply demonstrated what- cver one may think of her tact. Britain at large will, very likely, not be as chagrined in the matter as the London press. The Channel has probably brought more gains in the way of increased circulation and allied benefits to Fleet Street in recent years than it has yielded fish to East Coast nets. Faced with the loss of a valuable source of revenue, the somewhat saffron publications of the Imperial capital may be pardoned for re- garding Dr. Logan as a sort of poison. Being British, however, they will get over it and-- join universal sanity in frowning on stunt sport that gets no one anywhere except into the rotogravure sections--or the grave. The risking of lives today in perillous en- terprises of the sort recently popularized is simply a return to the time when gladitorial combats were staged. There was heroism in the Circus Maximus, gallantry no doubt, and bitter tragedies, More than one Spartacus broke the helmet clasps of a dying foe only to find a once-beloved friend. The pity of it is that while a martyr monk could with his life end the curse of gladia- torial combats; Dr. Logan's effort must be seconded by thousands. If it isn't, the coming decade will see suicide ranking with the more gainful professions. INJUNCTION GRANTED The Oshawa Daily Times application for an injunction against The Daily Times, published by the Amalgamated Publishers, Limited, at Port Hope was heard before Mr. Justice Rose of the Supreme Court of Ontario on Monday " and Tuesday, and on Wednesday his Lordship rendered a decision generally upholding this paper's claims. In future, his lordship rules, the Port Hope paper must not use the name "Oshawa" in connection with its title or window sign. A stay of execution for one month is granted, in which time either party may appeal. The Oshawa Daily Times has the matter of a further appeal under consideration. While appreciating to the fullest extent the high- minded way in which Mr. Justice Rose handled the case, which was no more than to be ex- pected from a British Court of Justice, we can- not help but believe that his lordship erred in logic by establishing this paper's right to the name "The Oshawa Daily Times" but at the same time forbidding it to use that name's de- rivatives, namely: "The Times" and "The Daily Times" in registration for telephone ser- vice and otherwise. The Toronto Daily Star, for example, is registered in the Toronto telephone directory under every possible combination, abbreviation, or derivative of its full title. It was shown, much to this newspaper's re- gret, that Ex-Mayor Stacey had worked in- dustriously for the establishment of a news- paper's circulation in this city which is pub- lished elsewhere. Which means, in the simplest terms, that he worked against the interests of workers and taxpayers in the city of Oshawa. The Mundy Printing Company, Limited, is an Oshawa industry. Not as important as some of this city's larger plants, but any industry that gives employment to seventy to eighty people--many of whom are married men with families--is at least entitled to fair treatment by those whom it has treated fairly. However, if Mr. Stacey imagines that he or any Party, or any section of any Party, can punish or drive out a newspaper that happens to oppose either or all of them, then Mr. Stacey is less entitled to the confidence of citizens of Oshawa than the large and friendly vote which he received on December 1, 1926, would in- dicate. The Oshawa Dzily Times has no quarrel with Mr. Stacey. It 'believes that he has been mis- lead in this matter, and that his native good sense will show him clearly that the man who works against Oshawa is not worthy of citizen- ship in Oshawa. Further, The Oshawa Daily Times has no quarrel with anyone. It can frankly wish the Port Hope Times the success it deserves and what it can win by its own efforts. In the meantime, The Oshawa Daily Times, successor to The Reformer, continues to busy itself with the job of publishing a newspaper in the best 'sense of the word. With no malice, its slogan is: "If it's for Oshawa we're for it." RUSSIA SELF-CONVICTED The Associated Press announces that Council of People's Commissars-has abolished capital punishment throughout the Union of Soviet Republics, and that this act of grace was read in the form of a manifesto to what passes for the Russian Parliament. There are many who, dazzled by the witch fire of Marxian utopianism, will proclaim this concession as the dawn of a new day for Rus- sia, Perhaps it is, a grey, chill dawn. In which the dupes of Moscow may see that the pillar on which they have placed their hopes is a gallows tree. Out of her own mouth Soviet Russia convicts herself, Capital punishment is abolished, but what of the past ten years since Kerensky's regime in which the life of neither man, woman nor child was safe from that despotism which could slay and then hollow it§ reeking hands to trumpet "Progress!" to the world at large. The world isn't what it ought to be. Civili- zation hobbles painfully forward on the way of peace. Like a dull student, mass humanity must con the exercises of experience over un- weariedly for ages before even the alphabet of life is learned. However, the world of western European culture differs from the nightmare rulers of Russia chiefly in its regard for life. = There is enough .of death with us at the best, but even in war we accept it as an accident and devise plans for preventing it. Not so in Russia! There, with a flourish as meaningless as their murder of Czar Nich- olas' pitiful son, they abolish capital punish- ment or nearly so. Is it because there are none left worth an _executioner's time? THE SINN FEIN LEAGUE OF CANADA Winter is once more nearly abroad in the land and that type known in Canadian perm- anent militia circles as the "snow bird" is now turning his attention to the more or less fruit- ful avenues of publicity with a view to tiding over the grim season, In witness of which The Oshawa Daily Times has been favored with a document, printed in the state of New York, which an- nounces that "The Sinn Fein League of Can- ada has been formed to support the immediate complete independence of the whole of Ire- land, without compromise as to principles and tactics." No Canadian has cause to be unduly alarmed by fools of this type whether alleged Sinn Feiners or Ku Klux Klanners. Those who say they are working "without compromise as to principles or tactics" have no principles and their tactics are rotten. Ireland's prayer today might, most earnest- ly, be "God deliver me from my friends!" The former kaiser says he has always had a liking for Great Britain. Also for France, doubtless. He tried so hard to go to Paris a few years ago. Bit of Verse THE LITTLE TOWN The little town is a sweet town, And it lives in a land of morn; And nothing that ever happens Can find it ragged and torn. It may be down in a valley, It may be up on a hill; But it sings like a bird of summer, And its heart is calm and still. The little town is a gay town, And people come and go, Forgetting their care and woe. Dreaming their dreams of beauty, Its street is lined with maples And its roads are thick with dust; But it knows the beauty of living In quiet faith and trust. The little town is a fair town, With old homes nestling sweet, And everyone knows its people By the sound of familiar feet. The little town is a haven, And its dwellers--worlds away-- Count peace as a high possession, And song, and a time to play. --B. B. in Baltimore Sun, HOSPITAL ASSEN MEETS IN LONDON (Continued from page 1) lollars last year by the Association's ! lospitals, in caring for 172,000 ratients. At the Annual Convention of the Ontario Hospitals Association held oday at the Victoria Hospital, Lon. ion, Ont., an interesting report of 'he valuable work of the Oshawa Hospital Auxiliary, was read. This 'eport was prepared by Mrs. R. S. McLaughlin, President of the Auxil- 'ary, and shows in a most illuminat. 'ng manner the wonderful work the Auxiliary has done in raising funds tor the needs of the Hospital. Par- fcular credit is given to Mr. J. D. jtorie and Mr. G. W. McLaughlin for their welcome help in times of serious need. It is stated that in he seventeen years of its existence, he Oshawa Hospital Auxiliary has raised the sum of $86,000. This is no mean achievement, and it is not to be wondered at that the Hos- pital Board suggested turning over the management of the Hospital te the Auxiliary, The address follows: Activities of the Oshawa Hospital Auxiliar i In addressing this body of inter- ested workers in Hospital Associa- 'fons, I feel that I have been greatly "onored in being asked to present a few thoughts on the way that we "ave conducted our Hospital Auxili- ary. In a province like Ontario, with its 132 or more hospitals, all with | the aim of alleviating the suffering » human-kind, I cannot but feel ! that! our Auxiliary has taken no! mimportant part. | It is now twenty years since a | mass-meeting of interested men and | vomen in Oshawa was held to con. sider ways and means of building | and equipping a hospital, "Great aks from little acorns grow', is | surely true. After the small seed | f endeavor was planted, the tree of accomplishment has sprung up ind borne fruit in interest and ser- vice to the citizens of Oshawa and | he surrounding county. Much sredit for the work in Oshawa must ye given to that grand, philanthro. shic and large-hearted man, Mr, J, J, Storie, whose promise of assis rance helped our young Auxillary it a time of. financial distress, It has been said that the Oshawa Jospital could never have lived had t not been for the Hospital Auxili- ary. Be that as it may, the fact Is hat the Auxiliary has raised $84, 000.0 in its seventeen years of es 1g¥or. Of this sum--only whoul $6,000.00 has bhéen donnted, The growth of the population of Oshawa, from 5,000 to almost 25,000 in sixteen years, has necessitated u broad vision as to needs, and a will. ingness to undertake duties. There is always a certain difficulty in in- teresting citizens of a community in the atcual needs of a hospital. Hos. pitals are treated very much as churches are by their adherents. are always with us, turity is a certainty, forgetting that personal effort. Our Sunday collections once a year have been one way of keeping public. This collection is taken on Sunday nearest to Florence Night ingale's birthday, the 12th. of May, in commemoration of her life work, Special articles relating to Hospital activities are published in the local papers at this time. Our "Mile of Coppers" system purchased all the kitchen equipment, including the re- | frigerator and stove. The Hospital Auxiliary has the credit, if credit | it may be called, of holding the first | rummage sale in Oshawa. This source of revenue is being closed to the, Hospital Auxiliary more and more, however, as almost every or- ganization in the city now holds rummage sales, The Hospital Aux- iliary runs a lunch tent at the local fair each year; amateur plays have been given; bridge parties teas of various kinds have been has been utilized, A "Dissappear- ing Bridge" is now being carried on, which we hope will mean the raising of nearly $700.00. Durin the sixteen years we have had three campaigns. Two wings, the Pedlar Surgical Wing, and the McLaughlin Maternity Wing, have been added through the generous do- nations and kindly sympathy of citizens of the town. The gift of an X-Ray machine by Mr. G W. McLaughlin helped to bring our bospital to the requirements of standardization, we are proud to say. We feel that we are justly proud of our hospital, but we do not want to think that there is noth- ing more to be done, and that no further effort is necessary. 'The strongest factor in any organization is the necessity faz work. If there is a need, I have always found that there will be a corresponding effort to supply that need. Our Auxiliary raised $15,000.00 to build and equip an addition to the Nurses' Home, Besides giving grants of money to the Hospital Board each year, we have purchased a sterilizer, electric fixtures, operat. ing table, electric stove, gas oxy- gen apparatus, microscope, cutlery, a quartz lamp, a diathermy outfit, all. cotton material for gowns, etc., Nurses' Residence, and we have one of the recent meetings of the Hospital Board when a resume of the work of the Auxiliary was given, the remark was made, "We think we had better turn over the man- agement of the hospital to the Aux- iliary"'. However, this is an honor People think that because chuches | that their fu-| neither churches nor hospitals can , exist without personal interest and | the need of the hospital before the | and | held, and the talent dollar system | office furniture, furnishings for the | built and equipped the laundry.
