FRIDAY, APRIL 5, 1929 CANADA IS FORTUNATE A persual of the newspaper columns in recent weeks has been sufficient to convince the people of Canada of how fortunate they are to be living in a country which is, in every respect, so peaceful. Rebellions in Mexico, civil war in China, floods and hurricanes costing many lives in the United States, starvation among the natives of Central Africa, unem- ployment and destitution in many sections of Great Britain, are among the conditions which have been faithfully reported for weeks by newspaper writers, Canadians need only to think of these things to realize the many blessings which accompany life in this country. A windstorm of any proportion is so much of a rarity here that when one comes along, it attracts much attention, even though it does not cost a single life. In the southern states, what is called a windsorm here would be looked upon as just a little breeze, because the people there have to suffer periodically from hurricanes and tornadoes which de- stroy whole communities, i Here in Canada, with employment conditions ex cellent, climate conditions which but seldom cause any disasters to speak of, and with the people happy and comtented, there is much for which to be thank- iul. And with the prospests for the future brighter than at ahy time in the history of the Dominion, it is the duty of every loyal citizen to make the most of the opportunities offerd and the blessings bestowed by a bountiful Providence. CONGRATULATIONS TO KITCHENER The management of The Kitchener Daily Record is fully deserving of the warmest congratulations of their fellow newspapermen., These congratulations are due them in a double sense, first for the splen- did and well-equipped new home into which the newspaper has but recently moved, and secondly for the magnificent special edition which was published on Tuesday of this week to mark this expansion of the facilities of the newspaper. ; Newspapers grow with communities when their publishers are alive to the needs and the opportunities of the constituency they serve, and this has been particularly true of The Kitchener Record. The com- munity it sefves is a fast growing and progressive city, with industries of which it can be proud, since most of them have grown from small beginnings. And it is also the centre of one of the richest and 'most prosperous agricultural districts to be found in the province. ; A district of that kind is worthy of the best in newspaperdom, and the expansion of the Record shows how well that newspaper has fulfilled the needs of its constituency. The special edition of Tuesday is not only a splen- did specimen of the printer's art, but its 104 pages mirror the life and development of the community and the newspaper in an interesting and instructive man- "ner. The Times wishes to add its words of congratu- ations to those which have already been showered upon the Kitchener publishers, and to express the hope that the Record may long continue to expand. THE PENALTY OF PUBLIC LIFE The deaths of Marshal Foch and Myron T. Mer- rick, the United States ambassador to France, coming _so closely after each other, point to the penalties which are placed upon men who are obliged to appear before the public under any and all conditions. The illness of Marshall Foch dated back to an un- veiling ceremony at a public memorial, at which he was required to stand on his feet, in a bitter atmos phere, for four hours, Myron Merrick became ill im- mediately after attending the funeral of Marshall Fach, in which he stood for hours during the obse- quies and marched for miles in the funeral proces- sion. It will be recalled, too, that King George con- tracted the illness from which he is now recovering while standing bare-headed in front of the Cenotaph in London, England, in the raw, cold atmosphere of last November 11. The public expects much from those who hold high positions, but these recent instances indicate that there are times when there are heavy penalties to pay for the privilege of holding high rank. THE HUDSON'S BAY RAILWAY If is announced that the Hudson's Bay Railway has now reached at Fort Churchill, and already 'plans are being made to have the last spike driven "in it by the Hon. G. P. Graham. As this road nears completion, it is interesting to note the change which has occurred in the general «conception of the use of the line since it was first -mooted. . At that time, it was as an outlet for the 'grain crops of the west that it was wanted. Its sup- A 'porters claimed for it that it would shorten the rail haul for grain, and also shorten the distance . it would have to be carried by water from Canada to Great Britain. On this basis, the line was started, and a considerable amount of work was done on it. Strange to say, little is now heard of this aspect of the road. It is frankly admitted that the chief difficulty in the way of using it as a grain railway lies in 'the fact that there is still much uncertainty as to the length of time for which navigation by way of the Hudson Bay is possible, / In recent years, however, an entirely new aspect of the line's value has been opened up, It has been discoveréd that in the area it traverses there are min- eral deposits of untold value, and that there are rich agricultural and timber lands waiting for de- velopment, The building of the line through these areas will open them up for settlement and devel- opment, and thus the Hudson Bay Railway status has completely changed. Instead of being primarily a railway for the shipment of grain, it is more than likely that it will justify its existence as a coloniza- tion road on a par with the two existing railway systems which have done much in that direction for the building up of Canada. WHY CONDITIONS ARE DIFFERENT It is not as a rule hard to find reasons why law lessness and murder are far more prevalent in the United States than they are in Canada, but a recent case, in which a man was arrested and charged with murder, provides an astonishing reason. This man, George McManus by name, was charged with the murder of Arnold Goldstein, a New York gambler, . and, while awaiting his trial, he was allowed his free dom on bail of $50,000 Of course, $50,000 is a large sum of money, but it means little to a wealthy man in return for his free- dom on a murder charge. Those who have had an opportunity to study the case declare that it is quite likely that he will never come up for trial. One can hardly wonder that there are so many murders and serious crimes in the United States when they are treated so lightly as in that case. It is not conceivable to imagine a man charged with murder in Canada being allowed out on bail. The sanctity of human life in this country is held on a high level, and men who are charged with taking life are not given any opportunity to secure their freedom, either by purchase or otherwise, until they have had a fair trial and have been adjudged innocent. And results show that the Canadian system is productive of the more healthy conditions of living. EDITORIAL NOTES The gossip. of women is blamed for a sad tragedy in Owen Sound, A venomous tongue is often more deadly than the revolver. Twenty people have been killed in aeroplane acci- dents in the last ten days, Just so many more victims of the modern mania for speed. A new diet has been produced to make a hen lay more eggs. All that is needed now is a new diet for those who are expected to eat them. The death punishment for cowardice on the field of battle is to remain in the British army law. This is another good reason for seeing to it that there is never another war, Aeroplane honeymoons are becoming stylish, but honeymoon couples who take that kind of trip rea- lize more quickly than most that they must come down to earth again. The Toronto Hydro-Electric System has piled up a credit balance of $300,000. As this goes for the benefit of the Toronto consumers, it is a strong argu- ment in favor of municipal control of hydro dis- tribution. Over 200,000 French-Canadians face deportation from the United States because they entered il- legally. Probably they will be given a warm welcome back to their native province. I SL « Other Editors' Comment ~ MUD SPLASHERS (Halifax Herald) : Old Bill and Alf found that staff-cars did a deal of splashing in France, but some of the post-war mo- torists could give the "brass-hats" a long lead and beat them by a city block. People who drive ahead in motor cars heedless of pedestrians and their rights, should be brought up with a round turn. TAXING THEMSELVES (Brantford Expositor) Duties collected on cigarettes in Canada reached a total of $23,569,641 during the last fiscal year. Excise duties on liquor sold in Ontario alone reached $15,- 000,000 so that a pretty good idea can be secured of two classes who are paying a whole lot of the taxes. BRITISH TRADE WITH CANADA (Daily Express) 1f Britain's exports to the ian market are from a half to a third of the value of Canada's exports to Britain, the fault is ours. We enjoy in the dominion a preference not only of tariffs but of sentiment. If wé would study their requirements Canadians would rather take their manufactured goods from us than from the Americans. Yet the American exports to Canada for some years past have been about four- and-a-half times the value of our own. Every British manufacturer ought to feel that here is a great chance staring him in the face, the more so as Canada is only one part of an empire of boundless commercial opportunities. . Bits of Verse - - DON'T WAIT Don't wait till loved ones die To speak a kindly word. Remember, in the coffin Not a word of praise is heard. Don't wait till heart is still, Too late to show your love. When pulse has ceased to beat The soul has gone above. Don't wait till eyes are closed And then Jour teardrops shed. Show' now the love you have for them, And not when they are dead. Don't wait till life is over And then, with heart that's sore In bitter anguish and remorse, Just wish you had done more. If you love them let them know it, Speak a word. of praise and cheer. + Say it now, not at the coffin, Vhen your voice they cannot hear. : --Bella Gray. By James W. Barton, M.D. BODY SUPPLIES EXTRA SUGAR WHEN NECESSARY I have spoken before about Sandow the strong man who always ate taffy a few minutes before he went on the stage to do the heavy lifting and other feats of strength that made up his vaudeville act. Also about football players and other athletes, who ate chocolate bars or other candy at the rest period, during a game. The reason that these athletes ate candy was that it was simply sugar in an agreeable form to eat, and past experience had proven that sugar helped to sustain them. better than other foods. Why ? Because sugar or starch is what is used to manufacture the heat in the large muscles that cover the body to supply the energy that is needed. Sometimes you have marvelled at the strength shown by yourself or some- one else during an emergency, Perhaps it was necessary to lift a heavy weight and carry it some dis- tance. Perhaps you have tried to repeat the performance and find that you can't do it, Why ? Because there is now no actual need; nothing is at stake; no life to save or other condition that so ex- cited or stimulated you. Because when there is need or an emergency the glands of the body, particularly the little adrenal glands, which are situated on top of .each kidney, immediately send out an ex- tra supply of their secretion, that is adrenalin, into the blood, and it, as you know, gives the muscles added strength by making more sugar im- mediately available for the muscles to use, Normal cats excited by a dog show a marked increase in blood sugar; in fact from 30 to 90 per cent. . There are just two points to keep in mind. First, sugar is an excellent food, a cheap food, and is in 'condition to be used by the system in a shorter time than other foods. Second, it is comforting to know that the Creator is ahead of our needs here just as in so many other ways. Remember, however, that while sugar and starches are the fuel the body uses to create energy, it is eggs and meat and also cereals that repair the tissues of the body that get worn out by this work or exercise. Hence heavy workers need eggs, or cereals. (Registered in Accordance with the Copyright Act.) COMMUNISTS AR EJECTED FRO M LABOR COUNCIL Feeling Runs High as Vote Is Taken at Toronto Meeting Toronto, April 5.--Expulsion from the District Trades and La- bor council of Jack MacDonala, Fred Peel and other Communist representatives of unions affiliated with the council, which may lead to a split in the local labor move- ment, was effected by a vote of 87 to 17 at last night's meetiny of the couneil at the Labor temple. Feeling ran high between the ra- dical bloc in the council and the more conservative delegates to the assembly, and bitter remarks pass- ed between speakers during the lengthy debate. Ejection of the group led by MacDonald, who is secretary of the Communists' party of Canada, was made on recommendation of the executive committee of the coun cil. The committee produced three letters from unions which denounc- ed the alleged activity of MacDon- ald in disrupting the international trades union movement by organ- izing national unions duplicating in. ternational organization branches in Canada. CURIOUS "LOG HOUSE" BUILT OF DRAIN PIPES A "log house" in which the 'logs' are formed by common red drain pipe tile, has been built in Kingsville, Ontario, Canada. Char- les Miner, who erected the unique dwelling, chose tile for the mater- ial because it 'provides dead-air space in the walls to protect the interior from cold in winter and heat in summer. The house stands on a founda- tion of concrete blocks, except for the porch and steps, which are sup- ported by the tiles. A wooden framework, sheathed with boards in the usual manner, was (first erected and the tile "logs" were laid in courses like brick veneer up the sides. At corners, the ends of the tiles overlap in criss cross fashion, much as did logs in the cabins of pioneer days. Where the ends of the logs are exposed, they are closed with cement colored to match, says Popular Science Monthly. This insures dead-air space and prevents birds and squirrels from entering. meat, FOOD AND REST--I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie gous, saith the Lord God.--Ezekicl ed I) PRAYER--"Break Thou the bread of life, Dear Lord to me." BELIEVE MISSING GIRL ABDUCTED Police of Southern States Joining in Hunt for Bar- bara Pitcher {By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Mobile, Ala., April 5.--A close police watch was thrown over high- ways leading into this city and steamship travel out of Mobile yesterday when Jocal authorities received telegraphic and radio messages informing them that abductors of Barbara Pitcher, wealthy Montreal schoolgirl are believed en route to this city by automobile, in an attempt to whisk the kidnapped girl out of this country by steamer, .Radiograms and telegrams re- ceived by the local department from Chief of Police H., Langevin of Montreal stated that a large automobile bearing two men and two women had been trailed through eastern cities and is be- lieved en route to Mobile or New Orleans. One of the women occupants of the machine is believed by Mont- real authorities to be the pretty schoolgirl abducted from her home in the Canadian city several days ago. Reports received from Mont- real police indicate that the girl has been kept under the influence of drugs during the flight of her abductors in this country from Canada, and their following at- tempted to reach a southern sea- port. LIQUOR CHARGES MAY BE PROBED Two Members of U.S. Con- gress Face Toils of Law Washington, April 5.--Closer public surveillance of Congressmen and other Government officials who talk and vote dry and vielate the prohibition law, is expected to fol- low the wide publicity now being given two House members who face the toils of the law. It is not at all unlikely there will be a Congressional investiga- tion of the two incidents which have turned the spotlight directly uvon the men who make the laws-- charges of bringing liquor into the United States, involving Represen- tatives Michaelson, Illinois, ano Morgan, Ohio, both Republicans, and both of whom voted for the drastic Jones law. The public, naturally, will want to know just how widespread ta "winking at the law' among those who made it, a law the public is exhorted to obey. President Hoov- er, the public naturally feels, was talking to Congressmen and other officials, as well as the rank and file of the citizenry, when he ap- pealed in his inauguration messax- for support from the great body of so-called law-abiding citizens, Charges have been made, inter mittently, on 'the floors of Con- dry, drink wet, and it is no secres that this has been the case. Spora- dically, these charges are made. There is a flurry of excitement, and then it dies down. Will Need Explaining But the Hoover Administration has directed attention so prowae= ently, to prohibition that it is not likely any such incident hereafie will be allowed to pass lightly. The next time a waiter drops a bottle in the Senate restaurant, if that ever happens again, or a bootlegger is caught hustling through the House office building, as did the now famous *'man in the green hat," if that ever happens again, the whys and wherefores most like- ly will be pursued to the end. Beyond general charges on the floor, the question never has been pursued by crusading dry or mili- tant wets. No names ever have been called. Former Rep. Upshaw, Dem., Georgia, brought + such charges into Congress first, and once waved before his fellow col- leagues a whisky bottle he said he had found in a trash basket in the House office building. Senator Reed, Democrat, Mis- souri, one of the wet leaders, slyly suggested in his famous swan-song debate with Senator Borah, of Id- aho, that he would name members who voted dry and drank, which caused some uneasiness for a day or two, but he explained afterward that he was merely speaking in fun and had no such intention. The private argument advanced by wet-drinking, dry-voting mem- bers is that they are sent here to represent sentiment of their dis tricts, and thus they vote dry. This is not an explanation of their per- sonal habits, but of their voting. Cream of Jest The cream of the jest in the two present cases is that both members voted for the Jones law, and that the only one who might betried under its provision, Rep. Morgan, is generally known as a personal dry as well as a political dry. He said he never took a drink in his life, and his friends bear him out. It has been intimated that if he 'brought any liquor into the eountry, it was a personal favor fur a friend. But drys have always in- sisted that anyone who violates the law in any way, no matter what may be the explanation, is just as guilty as the bootlegger who vio- lates the law persistently. The Australian government is planning to assume control of radio broadcasting and has licensed nearly 800,000 listeners.

BOARD WARNING FEDERAL RESERVE 1S ENPHASE BANKS TOLD THAT CREDIT MUST BE TIGHTENED More Money Must Be Re- leased for Business of United States Washington, April 5.--Although the Federal Reserve board feels the decline in brokers' loans by member banks is indicative of pro- gress in the direction of a read- justment in the credit situation, the board may take other steps to influence conditions more quickly. Coming on the heels of its re- cent meeting aginst the use of federal reserve funds for specula- tive loans, the board's attitude is Be careful of your building plans for this year. Don't build an out-of- date house nor don't let an out-of-date builder put one up for you according to his own ideas. Positively the greatest advance in home construction can be obtained to- day at an actual saving in first cost, over old fashioned building methods, and the resale value of an insulated house, to say nothing of quick sale- ability, is away ahead of any other form of construction, 'TEN-TEST INSULATING BOARD, Canadian made by Canadian men from Canadian material is pre-eminently the best insulation medium on the market and can now be secured in measured quantity--that is, any thickness from the standard 7-16 inches up to 2 in. ches thick.

Reserve Board Statement In the April federal reserve bul- letin the board says of its recent credit policy: The federal reserve system has been aware of the consequences, present and prospective, of high money rates to the countrys' busi- ness and has pursued a policy form-~ ulated with a view to correcting the situation that was causing these high rates. The federal re- serve board's statement of Febru- ary 7, which was published in tne fedral reserve bulletin for Febru- ary,p ointed out that, owing to the unusual absorption of credit in the security market money rates to business were increasing at a time when money conditons are usually easy. In this staement the board en- deavored to enlist thec o-operation of the federal reserve banks and meber banks, in order to bring about an orderly readjustment in the credit situation. .. Progress. Made Progress in this readjustment in recent weeks is indicated by the decline in brokers' loans of mem- ber banks. Continued develop- ments in this direction, indicating a definite reverse of recent trends, would release an increasing amount of credit for the use of trade and would lead to 'an easing in the money situation. In case the de- sired readjustment is not brought by voluntary co-operation, howev- er, may adopt other measures of influencing the situation. "The system's desire to see money rates at a lower general leyel, has been due, in part, to its realization of the bad effects of continued high money rates on do- mestic business and in part to its unwillingness to draw gold from abroad, with consequent advances in money rates in other countries, some of which are suffering from industrial depression."

An urgent telephone call was put through to General Steel Wares Limited in Montreal, and a sturdy "Algoma" Camp Cook Stove was promptly packed and rushed to the C. N. R. Express which left Montreal at 6.15 p. m. on March 22nd. The Express roared into St. Ye- cien at 7.30 the next morning and the big 746 pound range in its crate was swiftly transferred to a seaplane that lay waiting for its precious cargo. Two hours later the seaplane with' the much expected range land ed on a lake near the mine, 350 miles north of St. Felicien. It was promptly unloaded from the plane, set up in the cook-house, and the hungry mining crew had their noonday meal cooked: on this range!
