WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1927 PROBE DEEP AND PROBE WELL = The shadow of an inexplicable tragedy lies over Bowmanville in the finding of the lifeless body of a young woman whose eminent respect- ability in life is the subject of general testi- mony amongst those who knew 'her. Sometime between 6.30 p.m. Sunday and the of her body late Monday afternoon, Ward met her death stances. Certain evidence in the coron- ! ds seem to threaten the initial theory suicide 'and to point to the probability of a most brutal crime. Kingston Hivhway between Oshawa and ow ville already has a sinister reputation ghined during the current year. One peculiar ddth was followed by a series of trials that hive at least added some peculiar precedents t¢ Ontario's jurisprudence. Now another mysterious death comes to underscore the horror of what has gone be- fore. Coming, too, at a time when the legal profession of Ontario is declaring that crimes against womanhood in this Province were néver before so prevalent. "Good citizenship and the principles of Can- adian chivalry. demand that this tragedy at Bpwmanville be investigated promptly and with zeal and thoroughness. " COLUMBUS' SECURE THRONE ;Seandinavian citizens in the United States are said to be protesting the prominence given taiChristopher Columbus as the discoverer of America, and would substitute the somewhat legendary Leif Erickson in the shrine so long held by the Genoese admiral. {As a mere matter of being first, the claims of 'the Vikings to belated recognition res*. on a fairly solid basis. They did colonize Iceland and Greenland, and it is highly probable that t visited the mainland of North America. But Columbus' title to fame rest on some- thing far more substantial than his unwitting discovery of a new continent, important as that ay seem to those who live on it. His great benefaction to humanity was his praving that the world was round. e believed it and, by that much, was not by? any means unique. The theory of this plgnet's rotundity had been held as a matter offwritten records for some thousands of years before Columbus. But Columbus was the first man in history togbeli.ve the earth's roundness so strongly ti he was prepared to put that theory to test ~ inthis own body and to the world's benefit. A round earth to Columbus was not only a theory, it was an opportunity. That is what made him great, and that is what gives him a secure place in, the very, -fore- front of all who have, since humanity began itsicourse, helped to make civilization possible. humanity ever erects a universal Hall of Fame, the Norse "discoverers" of America may be mentioned along with the one-armed Chéinnel swimmers and second-rate Atlantic But if fate demanded of humanity that the igmory of all but five of its greatest bene- fadtors were obliterated, the name of Colum- big would be entitled to stand as one of that = i company. 4EVEN THE POOR AND FRIENDLESS" 3 S---------- . An 18-year-old youngster, empioyed up uh- til $his past July as a sailor on the Great Lakes, §-just been released on parolée from the y Mountain Penitentiary in response to 5 demand earnestly fostered by Hon.

Escaping at unduly harsh sentence after serving ys, he was recaptured and, for that of- tenced to the penitentiary. v. he is released on parole, but he is 8 with the brand of the convict.

The: "Globe" is' right but unbearably smug. Why "even the peor and friendless?" If Christianity means anything to those that pro- fess it, it is the poor and friendless: who have a first call upon a practice of those virtues which the First Christian inculcated, .« + ¢ Further, the case of this unfortunate boy should cause heart searching throughout Can- ada as to whether every such victim of circum- stances is able to find a friend such as Hon. Dr. Manion at hand. TECHNICAL EDUCATION The intimation from Ottawa that the Federal Government contemplates withdrawal from the -field of technical education through the sub- sidies which it has been applying thereto should [cause general concern. The matter of the subsidies is relatively un- . important, but the matter of technical educa- tion is one of the highest importance to a country that must look to industrial develop- ment for its present and future prosperity. Much, perhaps too much, was expected from the organizations of technical schools in certain centres of the province. But it is to be doubted , if technical education has yet been given a fair chance either in Ontario or elsewhere to become a truly practical form of education. That is to say, to equip the students that enter technical schools and complete the course with mastery or at least journeyman standing in the trades which it may teach. The theory current where such schools are established is that they are not supposed to teach trades, but to give the rudiments. An effort is made to establish an analogy between the public school's grounding in the "Three R's"~with embellishments and the technical school nurses. The absurdity of that premise needs no further criticism than to point to the « difference in ages between public school and technical school students. There are, as everyone knows more or less, reasons why trade training is not expedient, one might say popular, in a school. But the ones that suffer are the children who, if demo- cracy is a reality and not an Augustine eva- sion, are entitled to training that will fit them for life. So much of education does not fit children for life. A classical education, admirable as it is, often results only in making a child unfit for the life to which circumstances destine him. Uarest results, and those two brothers of econcmic despair: The White Collar Man and the Unskilled Laborer. The greatest field of technical education and the most important is not touched, except superficially, in the schools. That field is farm- ing. That the farm is an opportunity for the perillously employed of cities is something that never crosses their mental horizons as even a possibility unless driven to it by utter hard- ship. The withdrawal of Federal subsidies from technical education in Ontario, at least, may result ultimately to the best good of that field of institution. EDITORIAL NOTES The direction in which the eyes of men turn would indicate that beauty is only skin deep. As a rule, you can measure a man's feeling of importance by the degree of his discourtesy. It is wise to find out what a man is likely to do before stirring him to action, 2 | Bit of Verse NOVEMBER The children wade amid the sodden leaves, So lately glistening green in summer breeze, Now dropping slowly from the bare, brown ory trees, That stretch gaunt arms about the cottage eaves, Stripped are the orchards; gathered in the sheaves The wildfowl quits her haunts 'for \ southern seas _ Bre touched by silent frost the streamlets freeze, And winter's craft her. icy 'mantle weaves. About the woods there breathes the mystic spell . That speaks of vanished beauty--lost delight ; The last robin flute farewell; Ne The sun mid dun and purple sinks from sight; While the wild winds and rain-gusts rise and swell To wrap the world in storm and wintry night.

Barton, M.D. FEELING LAZY One of the annoying things you find in your own life, and in the lives of others, is that lazy, tired feeling. You try to think back a lit- tle to discover just what makes you feel so tired, and have to admit that you did more physical or mental werk a few months, or a year ago, without feeling so tired and lazy as vou do at present. And as you think further about this tiredness, this fatigue, as you see it in other folks, you are ashamed as you rea- lize that you have considered these other folks as just downright lazy. Now, this tiredness, this teeling ot laziness is something with which you must reckon, for some one has well said that "fatigue or tiredness is the deadliest foe to happiness, the damper of success, the discourager of enterprise, the closest ally of disease, as it lowers resistance'. You can't enter into your work or play with any enthusiasm if you are ' tired before you start, Further, if you have this desire to rest all the time, and laziness has not been the usual thing with you always, you should take hold of yourself and try to find out what is the underlying .cause: I believe that the sluggishness of the liver is one of the most frequen. causes of tiredness. i What makes you tired when you are normal and well? i Doing some hard physical and mental work? Why? Because you manufacture fatigue products which are really poisonous «0 the system, ' If you cease work or rest for a while the blood carries these poisons away by means of the skin, lungs, kidneys, and intestine, and you can then do some more work with a clear brain, and strong muscl Bill Brag, Edward Luke, Jack War! (ESIDENT; ASSERTS VILLAGE IS BEREAVED] EAS MIST G0 L. V. Disney Declares Civic Equipment Should Have Grown With City Editor, Oshawa Dai'y Times Dear Sir:-- It may be assumed that the re- cent disastrous fire in the Alger Block has caused ut least, a fraction of the agitation which is now dis- ' turbing the public mind with regard i to the adequacy of the Oshawa Fire | Department. If the agitation ac- complishes sometning worth while. the serious loss in the Alger fire , will be partly mitieated bv ibe re sulting benefit sin the public inter- est. The time has come, sir, when village ideas and village customs should be relegated to the discard so far as they apply to Oshawa. We are proud of our city and its re- markable expansion and we should feel ashamed that our municipal equipment has not as yet, expanded in proportion It is within reason to state, that [if on the morning of the Alger fire, the wind had been blowing from the east, the Disney Plock would now be keeping the Alger Block company as a mass of ruins The most stren- | uous efforts by the Fire Department could not have prevented it in my opinion. I hope that this agitation wil' continue until Oshawa is furnished , With an adequately equipped and imanned Fire Department, with men pai for their services as they should e. This letter is not construed in any way as a criticism of the Fire De- partment The men worked heroic- ally under the able direction of Chief Cameron, of whose capacity las a fire director, the City should be proud, | Yours truly, LEW.
