TORONTO OFFICE 407 Bond Building, v6 Temperance Street, Tele phone Adelaido 0107, H. D, "Fresidder, repre- sentative, REPRESENTATIVES IN U.5, Powers and Stone, Inc, New York and Chicago, RE TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1929 TIRE SAY IT WITH FLOWERS There are few cities which are given so much publicity through the medium of civic beautifica- tion than St, Thomas, Ontario. The work of its horticulturists has made it famous over the whole continent of North America, even to the extent of having new varieties of flowers named after it, and after some of its prominent horticultural workers, It is a good thing for any city to acquire a reputation for its beauty, After all, beautiful sur- roundings are essential to happiness in living, but the pity is that some cities are too busy thinking of industrial affairs to give much thought to civic beautification, Of course, indusiry is an absolute essential, and no person would decry efforts to make the community industrially prosperous, but band-in-hand with industrial development there should be a movement to make the community a beautiful one in which to live, a place worthy of being admired by all who come to it. In doing a work of this kind, the horticultural society movement has played a tremendous part in scores of Ontario communities, It is a pity that this movmeent has been allowed to die down in Oshawa, because it is needed in this city, A society of this kind, fostering and encouraging movements for civic beautification, tree planiing, and the beautifying of homes by planting shrubs ard flowers, has a definite place in this city, and it should not be allowed to lie dormant, Surely there are, in Oshawa, a sufficient number of people vitally interested in horticulture as a civic improvement to place the horticultural so- ciety back on its feet to carry out its work as it is doing in so many other places, THE MOVEMENT WESTWARD A week or two ago, two debating teams from the Oshawa Collegiate Institute debated the ques- tion of the future development of the rival ports of Montreal, on the Atlantic seaboard, and Van- couver, on the Pacific Coast. The debaters looked ahead twenty-five years, and tried to show which of these ports would be the greatest in import- ance at the end of that time, It is not our purpose to show that either of the two sides are right, but the government figures for these two ports for the last seven years are highly significant as showing the rapid advances made by Vancouver, as compared with the decline of Montreal, Let us take the position of Montreal. In the last seven years, the imports coming through that port declined from $286,000,000, quoting only round figures, to $227,000. In the same period, the exports from Montreal dropped from $263,- 000,000 to $187,000,000. That seems very sig- nificant. But, on the other hand, the opposite situation is found with reference to Vancouver. The imports of Vancouver increased from $64,000,000 in 1921 to over $74,000,000 in 1928, while the exports of the Pacific coast port jumped from $50,000,000 in 1921 to $153,000,000 last year. Coming to other Atlantic ports, both Halifax and St. John showed a large decrease in imports, while St. John declined by $30,000,000 in exports ard Halifax by less than one million dollars. These figures cannot but help be significant. They show the growing trend of trade west ward. They show that Canada is more and more looking to the Pacific coast as a trading centre, and to the city of Vancouver~#s the mew gateway to countries which Canada is doing a large business. The Atlantic ports, of course, are still doing a tre- mendous trade, but the fact that they are showed such a marked decline in activity, while Van- couver is going ahead Ly leaps and bounds, speaks for itself. A SPLENDID RECORD The official statement of the Canadian National Railways for 1928, published a day or two ago, affords very satisfactory reading for Canadians. Some months ago, Sir Henry Thornton, president of the system, predicted that it would have net earnings of $50,000 000 for ihe year, but even these expectations Have been exceeded by 'the splendid total of $58.382.577, an increase of al- most $13,000,000 over last year or of 28.60 pe cent.. . The last few years have been a steady improve- ment in the position of the Canadian National Railways, but this year's increase js by far the greatest achieved. It is noteworthy, too. that it was earned in a year in which operating costs . THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1929 also increased. But, while the operating costs were increasing by almost $15,000,000, the gross revenue increased by nearly $28,000,000, showing that the improvement in the showing of the ralle way, financially, was made without curtailing its normal activities and expenditures, The success of the C.N.R, in 1928 is an indica~ tion of the business and commercial development of Canada during the year, and a testimony to the high state of efficiency which has been reach~ ed by the system, Ten years ago it seemed like a millstone hanging around the necks of the people. Today, it is showing promise of becom- ing a valuable asset. THE LATE SIR VINCENT MEREDITH With the death of Sir Vincent Meredith, Can- ada loses one of the outstanding figures in the financial and banking life of the country, As the president of the Bank of Montreal during the last fifteen years which included the most try= ing time in the financial history' of Canada, he was one of those great men who did a great work in stabilizing the financial fabric of the dominion, The financing of Canada's war-time activities was a tremendous task, and all men at the head of banks were called upon to give their ald and counsel to the government of the day in order to prevent a financial panic, and in order to keep finances in a stable condition, It was in this work that Sir Vincent Meredith played a prominent part, and for which he became known as one of the most astute and able of financiers, While he has gone he has made his mark in the banking his. tory of the dominion and it will not speedily be erased, y THE JAPANESE WAY They have a convenient way of doing things in the Japanese parliament---so different from the way in this country,--but so much mcre restful to the public mind, A few days ago a severe vote of censure was passed upon the premier by the House of Peers, passed by a vote of 172 to 149. If a thing like that happened in Canada, the inevitable result would be the resignation of the government, and the country would at once be plunged into the throes of a general election, But nothing like that happened in Japan nor was anything like that expected, The vote of censure was taken to indicate that the premier had done something that he should not have done, and to serve as a warning that he must not do it again, But apart from that, everything went on serenely, and there was no upheaval in the conduct of the country's affairs. We repeat--they have a convenient way of do- ing things in Japan, EDITORIAL NOTES The Unit«d States claim to be anxious to have world peace, but seems to think that the only way to have it is by fighting over it, Judging from the number of times his name appears in Hansard, and the amount of space he fills, one would imagine that Tommy Church is the only member of parliament from Toronto, It is said that the House of Commons will ad- Journ before the end of May. If so, it is to be hoped that all the important business will not be crowded into the last week, as is usually the case, At a recent New York banquet the combined wealth of those present was placed at $2,000,000,- 000, But we'll wager they did not enjoy them- selves any more than a crowd of newsboys would at their annual supper, ~ Other Editors' Comment ~ THE BEST GUARANTEE. (Editor and Publisher) The best guarantee of freedom and the protec. tion of individual rights that has ever been de- vised py the people of any community is publica- tion of a newspaper of intelligence and civic con- science. -- SPINELESS DISCIPLINE (Stratford Beacon-Herald) Windsor board of education is not in favor of strapping in the schools. Henceforth it will be necessary to notify the parents before the strap is used. Can that mean a child can disobey all the laws of the school and not be punished unless the parents conmset? If so, them it's about the most spineless sort of discipline that has yet been uncovered. 'THE PEACE PAOT (Sisley Huddleston in New Statesman) Every country is loud in its professions of paci- fism--provided its professions are mot understood to refer to a meighbor with whom it may have a8 quarrel. One nation indicates that it has peculiar interests on its own continent which must mot be touched by the Pact, Another mation observes that it has interests "in other regions" of the globe which must be left intact. A third intimates that it has allies which it must be free to assist in spite of the Pact. Thus the general, which does not concern anybody, is accepted; and the particular, which concerns each nation, is ex- empted. » » Bits of Verse - - | UNDERSTANDING "Not understood, we gather false impressions And bug them tighter as the years go by; Till virtues often seem to us transgressions And thus men rise and fall and live and dle, Not understood." "Not understood," how often trifles change us.

Barton, M.D. DON'T REST A STIFF JOINT You have a painful joint and your natural inclination is to rest the Joint because movement causes pain, And this is just where the big mis- take is made, because rest means less and less use of the joint, and if it is a knee or hip joint, it means crut- ches or lying in bed, Of course it is taken for granted that the cause of the joint pain (rheumatism) has. been found and the infected teeth, tonsils, gall blad- er or sinuses have been removed or drained, Now anything that will bring heat to the part will be of help, because if it is the knee, hip, or ankle you can't be exercising it all the time because your whole weight is on it. Dr. C, P. Emerson reminds these patients that they can exercise any of these joints without walking, by simply lying flat on the back and make movements with the legs just as they would with the arms, If these exercises are followed by fa- tigue or pain which lasts more then an hour, or if they cause a little fever, they should "he discontinued for awhile and then with less vigor, The fact that movement makes the joint more painful is no reason why you shouldn't continue exercising for "the one willing to shed the most tears (on account of pain) will get the best results," The diet begins with one week of Luttermilk only, at least four quarts a day, which gets the intestine in a more healthful state, After that a good all round bo.ly building diet is used. Heat in any form is helpful be- cause it relaxes the muscles and lessens the pain, This after heat has been applied for some time the patient is en- couraged te exercise the joint, which he is willing to do because of the effects of the heat. After exercising the joint it is al- ways wise to apply heat again as this helps the circulation to remove the products that were manufactured about the joint by the exercise, In other words with the infection removed, and no fever, get busy with the joint even if it pain. If you nurse or rest it you may have a permanently stiff joint, (Registered in accordance with the Copyright Act.) resumed but Prepared by Rev Clarence Wilson DD, Ror Commission on Evangelism of Feder!

MEDITATION: Patience is the first virtue of a parent, How often we have seen children alienated from the love and piety of the home by the austere and exacting sever- ity of parents! These misguided parents love their children but they expect too much and they demand it too soon. They forget how once they also thought as a child and spake as a child "With a little more patience and a little less temper, a gentler and wiser method might be found in almost every case." PRAYER: O Father of men, we pray for all parents that they may have a deepened sense of their re- sponsibility for the Christian nur- ture of their children; and, realiz- ing that a child's first thoughts of God come through the teaching and example of father and mother, may they so live the Christian life that their children may be drawn to tae Father in Heaven.

They were joined by delegations from London associations, bringing the crowd up to several thousand. Among the speakers were the octogenarian suffragette, Mrs. Charlotte Despard, who came from Ireland specially for the occasion, She sald she hoped to see the day when '"'a great Irish Republic would stand alongside a great British Re- public." Other speakers included Tom Mann, well-known Labor lead- er; A, J, Cook, Secretary of the South Wales Miners' Federation, and 8, Saklavala, Communist mem- ber of Parliament for Battersea North, A Rough Journey. The unemployed marchers had a somewhat rough journey, according to the accounts they had to tell of their experiences. The contingent of 200 from the west country were received by Dr, Stella Churchill, prospective Labor candidate for the Brentford Division of Middlesex, when they arrived at Chiswick, Members of the local Labor Party provided a generous supply of tua, which was most acceptable to the rain-sodden men, Some of the marchers were suf- fering from blistered feet, and had to be brought in vehicles, One mun wag sufefring from influenza and had to be sent to a hospital, The local district Council allowed the contingent to sleep in two large garages, the floors of which were thickly covered with straw, Fed En Route Though footsore and bedraggled, the Scottish contingent arrived at Hendon in high spirits, led by Wal- ter Hannigton, General Organizer of the march, and a piper. The lo- cal Labor party provided them with food and sleeping accommodation. One of the men declared their hard ships had been nothing to what tuey would have endured at home, Thuy would have been hungry if they had stayed at home, he said, but in every town they passed througn they found food awaiting. DIVORCE SYSTEM SCORED IN HOUSE Bill to Establish an Ontario Court Up for Second Reading Ottawa, Ont,, Feb, 26.--The bill for the establishment of a divorce court in Ontario came up for se- cond reading during the hour de- voted to private members' business in the house of commons, The de- bate dcveloped into a lively discus- sion of the present system, by which divorce applications are investigated and passed upon by a committee of the senate, It was still in progress when the hour was up and the com- mons returned to government busi- ness, "This bill has been left on my doorstep," J. 8. Woodsworth (La- bor, Winnipeg North Centre), hu- morously remarked in sponsoring the measure. He could not, he said, "refuse to take it in", In every province of the dominion, with the exception of Ontario and Quebec, divorce courts existed. He had pre- viously pointed out, Mr. Woods- worth went on, that the manner in which divorce measures were passed through parliament was little less than scandalous. The sen ate, he said, went into all divorce applications very carefully, but af- ter the applications had been passed upon by the senate the considera- tion given in committee by the house of commons was perfunctory and divorce measures were rushed through the commons in block. Overflow in Detroit Courts Mr. Woodsworth understood there were so many divorce cases this year in the senate that two committees had been established to hear them. In 1928 he remarked that 548 Canadians had obtained divorces in Detroit. It divorces were to be continued there should be some provision for the custody of and also the maintenance of children. Furthermore, parliament did mot have the same facilities for gatn- ering evidence as a divorce court would have. "I feel," he added, "that there is no doubt that a feel- securing divorce. 'The house was not going into the rights or wrong of divorce for tne principle was already established in Canada, where divorces were being granted in increasing numbers. The grounds were not being extended. All that was involved was the trans- fer from a committee of the senate toa propery Sonstituiag court. Hen: urassa (Independent-La~ belle) declared himself to be unal- terably opposed to the principle and practice of divorce, mot on re- ligious grounds but because of the study he had given to history for the last 40 years. This had convin- ced him that divorce was the canker worm of all decaying society. CANADIAN PERMITS 0 IN JANURAY Ottawa, Feb. 25.--Building per- mits in January amount to $8.- 364,670, the highest figure for that month on record at the Dominion bureau of staistics.
