"| Bowers aad Stone, lnc, New York and Chicago PS Fe] a RS | WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1927 , + OFF TO A GOOD START "The opening of a Children's Court in Osh. awa on Monday was marked by a happy _augury for the future service and value of 'that new departmer.. { That was that "Judge" Hind permitted | The Oshawa Daily Times' representative to remain throughout the session, This newspaper appreciates that courtesy "and considers that the court thereby estab. lished a precedent which will continue to be of direct benefit to the cause of Child Wel- fare in this city and district, The Oshawa Daily Times can find news | enough to fill its columns without giving undue publicity to the delinquencies and miseries of erring or neglected children, But this new Court dedicated to the sal- vation rather than the punishment of child- a 4 ¥ hood will be happier in its conduct and more efficient in its service through the fact that | the public at large will be present through the universal proxy of the press, ---- sr L: COUNTY PUPILS' CASE ' i County pupils will not be excluded from the Oshawa Collegiate Institute at the be- ginning of the term in January, In'view of the previous ultimatum, some may find ground for twitting the trustees of the Osh- awa Board of Education for "climbing / down," but it takes courage fo climb down; : ] Ww and when the objects are the maintaining of friendly relations with any given body of , citizens and the removal of hardships from the pat' ambitious children, then such | climbing down is honorable to an emiment | degree, ' As a matter of fact, even if the Board had not--as was the case--had the children living in the immediate vicinity of the city in mind, it could not have proceeded with 'general exclusion after receiving a state- ment from the County Clerk that the Deputy Minister of Education had given the Ontario County Council grounds for believing that the collection of the full 100 per cent, of maintenance asked was not provided for in the statutes, That is to say, it could not haye proceeded ' with the exclusion and held up its collective head afterwards, The fact that Ontario County is enlongated in the general direc- tion of Hudson Bay, and its northern coun- cillors are apparently as sympathetic to- wards the southern townships as frost to spring flowers, doesn't do away with the fact that Oshawa is in East Whitby and there it will remain, a | The effort launched to get Legislative action is probably the wisest course, If the Province at large sees fit to endow or sub- sidize secondary education in rural districts, well and good; but the cities should not be required to bear that burden, unequally dis- 'tributed, in addition to the other loads put upon their citizens' protesting shoulders, POLICE SECRECY Mayor Foster of Toronto léft a Police Commission meeting in that city yesterday aftdr having two motions introduced by him defeated. The casual reader may jump to the conclusion that the mayor left because the Commission wouldn't fall in line with his suggestions, That may have had something to do with his anger, but Mayor Foster isn't a man to play the spoiled child merely because of anger. First, consider what the motions were, The latter was to appoint a board to probe the Toronto police department, The former was to admit the press to that conference. The mayor found that he was up against something more than majority opposition, He saw that he was confronted by that wall of secrecy behind which too many good men in civie affairs hide; behind which too much that is a menace to public ordér and good service shelters its nose-thumbing immunity. A good man may love darkness but a thief uses it. : Therefore, it is incumbent upon good men abroad in the murk to stand to the chal- lenge of public suspicion and give the count- ersign, Cy I TE See me Br ae Ed throughout Ontario, A municipality's newspaper gets crumbs of police information that are ingly doled out as if he and beggars. A crime wave breaks and news- papers are threatened with the witholding of even that small charity if they say that from This Month to That W many burglaries were committed and no rests made. An editor warns his readers to lock their doors and inefficiency in a unis form considers itself insulted. it is that wall of blank, self-protecting sec- recy against which Mayor Foster so force- fully protested, So long as that wall exists, whether in Toronto or elsewhere, criminality will thrive, For while the organization of police is com- paratively modern, it is yet old enough to have learned that the cure of crime is pre- vention, No one benefits when the murderer is hanged; what society must have is pre- vention of murders, burglaries, highway as- saults, abduction and all the rest of this age's madness of riot and bloodshed that makes modern peace more terrible than many ancient wars, ---- LINDBERGH AND FOOLS In the days of the ancients heroes or citi- zens grown too notable were often banished. Today, using the United States as an example, they send them on a 'good will" errand to Mexico, For that is where Col, Lindbergh and the "Spirit of St, Louis" are headed as this is written, and when it ap- pears in print the inevitable may have happened to this gallant young man whose friends couldn't spoil him but who now seem determined to kill him, Since his voyage across the Atlantic, Lindbergh visited every state capital in the United States and flew to Ottawa; and at the end his record totalled only one slight mishap, That record, from beginning to end, was due to his skill as a flyer, He has demon- strated the fact that man can be bor "air conscious," But back of natural ability is that thing which the Greeks cailed Nemesis and wor- ghipped as the terror even of the gods; or "the law of averages' upon which the whole fabric of life insurance is hased, Send Lindbergh on a few more trips over territory such as Northern Mexico's which is as dangerous to the landing plane as the Atlantig, and all that wiil remain of Lind- bergh will be a tradition, 4 hundred monu. ments, and a lesson, The lesson will be that I'ools never learn, EDITORIAL NOTES Customers may pot always be right but it pays in net profits to act on that assumption, A man who doesn't advertise consistently believes in "Luck" and is self-conceited enough to think he is lucky. A clerk is always one of two things--=a servant or a salesman, And, if only a ser- vant, he or she belongs to the unprofitable class, If you haven't moral courage enough to pay what's demanded for a shoe-shine and keep the other fifteen cents out of a quarter, shine your slices at home, Take the success of the cafetaria. They are man-made institutions and yet no man prefers them. Men like good service as much and perhaps more than women, but it takes a genius to get coffee served with the main course of a lunch instead of with the Bit of Verse LYING ON A HILL If you should see, to-morrow, in my eyes, The grey content of the wide, slow-moving sea, White gulls' wings in the sun and chastity Of high-hung clouds in bluebell-colored skies; Or, if you should discern I have grown wise With acquiescent grace of bending grain, With grave consent of orchards to the rain-- Aware, as water to the wind's surprise; Credit me not with wisdom quick acquired, Of lone communion with the inner gods, Nor judge that I have conquered, am in- spired; : But know it is the South Wind in my soul, Seeking the South Wind and its secret goal. ~--Leo Cox, in Sheepfold. (By Jas. W. Barton, M.D.) EATING THE LETIUCE LEAF Whenever you think of" a salad you naturally think of the lettuce leaf or two upon which the salad proper is served, Now, as a mater of fact, al- though a salad apparently cannot be served without the lettuce; nevertheless the lettuce leaf is sel- dom eaten. Occasionally ,at an afternoon tea, some brave individual will eat his lettuce leaf with the remark, *1 always eat the trimmigns too™. A diet expert, commenting on this lately, stated that from the standpoint of the actual needs of the body, the lettuce leaf was real- ly the best all round food on the Why? Because it contains the three minerals essential to maintaining all the cells of the body. As you know, the cells are made up of a number of minerals just as is the earth. As the food we eat comes di- rectly or indirectly from the earth, these minerals thus renew any worn out parts of the cells of the body, Now, some foods are rinh in some minerals, and certain other foods are rich in others, but there are three minerals that the body must take in daily, and these are lime (calcium), phosphorous, and iron, The lime is needed to keep the bones nourished and. strong. The bones are really the founda- tion work of the body, They give it its shape or outline, and a stiff backbone is needed to hold the body erect. When there 8 a lack of lime in the food, rickets or bone softening occurs. Phosphorous is needed in the body to maintain the blood itself, all the muscles, and to some ex- tent the bones also. And iron is the main standby of the blood corpuscles which bring nourishment to every cell in the body. No, three three elements are found to a considerable extent in lettuce, Of course, they are found in lean meat also for that matter, but one doesn't need much meat, unless do- ing physical work, so that the sald meets a real need for the body, and not the least nart of the salad is the lettuce les# that is so seldom eaten, It might, therefore, be very much worth while for all of us to eat more lettuce.
