PAGE TWELVE THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 17, 1929 (G0OD ROADS AND PROSPERITY ~~ \ HAND, SAYS HENCHEL . GOHANDIN Manages of GMC. Truck and Coach Division, Says and More Roads By H. H. HENCHEL General Sales Manager, General Mo- tors Products (Truck and Coach Division) Limited. Good roads and prosperity march hand in hand, i This is an axiom on which Can- ada, already. prospering and forging ahead to an unprecedented extent, is building her plans for still further and greater prosperity . ; We know full well the prosperity which was brought about by the age of steam, We know that the steam roads opened up the great em- pire to the west and placed. Canada before the world as a land, teeming with opportunity and with natural wealth, But today, having opened up this great empire, the railroads find for themselves a task which will for vears to come tax their utmost fac- ilities, . The railroads are the great arter- ies through which must flow the wealth of the great western empire to its ports or two oceans. Through them the prairie provinces must send their golden streams of grain to market. Theirs is an opportunity and a task which is adding and will con- tinue to add millions to the growing wealth of the dominion. But, with this unprecedented devel- opment, comes another situation which opens up another field of de- velopment--that is the feeder lines to these routes of steel, If the rail- roads are to garner this golden stream, economy dictates that it must be directed to strategic points where it can be gathered in, here must be feeder lines. The great railroads may be likened to great rivers, with feed- er lines as the tributaries. These feeder lines are roads over which grain and other produce must be transported by trucks to the rail- roads. They must be good roads and -they must be kept up. The farther these roads penetrate over them and the better the outlet to market for the farmers. * Into this general scheme of pros- perity also enters the tourist, As a factor in Canada's prosperity, he cannot be underestimated, for he leaves approximately $275,000,000 an- nually to the dominion. This means more business for merchants, service stations, hotels, garages, railroads-- and bus lines. The rail lines can tran- sport these tourists to the beauty spot of the far Northwest,s to Niagara, to Quebec and. its historic points of interest--but when the tourist gets there he wants good roads on which to drive, and bus service direct to the main points of interest. Supplementing the rail service has grown up a healthy and enterprising system of bus transportation. Many: of these lines are operated by rail- roads and electric lines, According to a report compiled by the Electric Railway Journal, there are 425 bus lines operated by electric railways, supplementing their long-distance hauls, In Montreal a great $2,000,000 merger involving 32 lines has just gone into effect with the 'purchase by the Provincial Transport company of the fleets of 32 owners and amalg- amating practically all of the bus lines operating within a radius of 60 miles of Montreal, All of this means that Canada's good roads must be kept up--and that Canada must build more good roads. Keenly aware of this situation, Quebec is laying out a comprehen- sive and extensive program of road construction, This program includes the resurfacing of 892 miles of main . roads in addition to other mainten- ance and new construction. If ap- proved, the program will be initiated this spring. Quebec now has 10,531 miles of permanent roads, including 8,276 miles of gravel; 332 miles of * sand and clay; 1,453 miles of waters bound macadam; 125 miles of bitu- minous macadam: 100 miles of cem- ent concrete; 245. miles: of bitumin- ous concrete, with 1,500 miles of earth roads which have been graded or improved. The province's main highway system consists of 45 roads with a total length of 4,823 miles of which 4,243 miles are improved, 403 GRENFELL Association: asks and merits support.

The great western em- pire is being opened up more and more each year. The railroads have done a lion's share, Much still rests TENSE FIGHT OVER MISSIONARY BILL Four Divisions Needed in French Chamber to Pass it CANADIAN ANGLE Poincare Unwilling to Ham- per Spread of French Cultural Influence Paris, April 17.--As had been expected, the opposition to the in- dividual clauses of the missionary congregations Bills in the Chamber proved no less bitter than that shown towards the principle of the original Bill in all the preliminary stages. When the first of the Bills (that authorizing the Order of the Nuns of the Infant Jesus at Puy) was taken clause by clause, no fewer than four divisions were forced. On each of these the Gov- ernment raised the question of con- fidence. The Bill fixes the age of entry for novices at 16 years. A Social- ist-Radical Deputy, M. Julien Du- rand, demanded that it should bw raised to 18. Even this, he sid, was a concession, since the law of 1904 fixed the age at 21, M. Poin- care tested the sincerity of thie amendment by asking whether the mover would vote for the Bill as a whole if the point were settled, but the most M. Durand would suy was that such a concession would certainly exercise an influence in the drection of support for the measure. In the end the amena- ment was defeated by 323 votes to 248, A second amendment, design. ed to register a declaration that the Bill was without prejudice to the law of 1904, whs also defeated on a vote of confidence, this time by 332 votes to 252. Foreign Nuns A third division took place on an amendment to decrease the propor- tion of foreign nuns to French nuns in the schools of the Order. This was rejected by 321 votes to 264. A proposal to delete Article 7 of the Bill, which permits a tem- porary increase in the numbers of foreign teachers in proportion to French teachers, normally one in ten, was refused by the Govern- ment. M. Poincare gave as an ex- ample the possible desire of the Order, which is established in Can- ada, to send its Irish nuns to the University of Paris in order to as- sist in spreading French cultural influence in Canada, on which point it would hardly be wise to hamper their activities. The pro- posal to drop the clause was then defeated by 312 votes to 242. A stiff Tight between the suport- ers of the Bill and the Opposition took place on the assertion made by M. Losquin, Socialist Deputy, that since perp€tual vows were against the law, and the statues of the Order were based on perpetual vows, therefore the whole Order wag illegal. M. Poincare replied that the law never prohibited vows which were a matter of individual conscience, but had always disre- garded them. It had never admit- ted their validity and did not do 80 in the present case. The amend- ment which had been made in con- nection with the clause regulating the Order to hold property was in 1.3.

Cockburn Kyte, librarian of Queen's University, Kingston, here recently, "What is art?" queried Mr. Kyte. He declared it is a senti- ment co-extensive with the human race. "Art, like heat, is a mpde of motion," he stated. "A r of social progress, But art goes even further back. It is shared to a degree unknown to human be- ings, with the animal world. The ock., whose beauty is beyond the skill of man to depict, owes that beauty entirely to the artistic preferences through countless gen- erations of the pea-hen, and the plumage of birds and the colors of butterflies are equally indicative of artistic selection." It was Mr. Kyte's hope that a similar nicety of selection on the part of the ale portion of the human race would evolve a race of supermen whiclh has been shadow- ed forth in this evolutionary pro- cess in the animal kingdom. He thought the fact that the' public is willing to attend lectures on aes- thetics is most significant, and a proof of the real hunger that exists for instruction and development' in appreciation of the beautiful in life. A recent Scotch story--in a dif- ferent vein--is about the London child in Glasgow who thought s bag-piper was strangling a dog. MURDERER CAUGHT BY SEED ON COAT Scientific C r i m i nologist Studies Dust on Clothes of Suspects Paris, April 17.--~How a tiny seed from an unnoticed weed proved the undoing of a French murderer is disclosed by Dr, Ed- mond Locard, scientific eriminol- ogist of Lyons, France, in describ- ing methods which he has perfect ed for collecting and examining dust from the clothes of suspected criminals. A man was knifed and left dead in the field. On the coat of a sus- pected person Dr, Locard found one small, feathered seed some- what like the seed of a dandelion, but recognizable under the micro- scope as from a rather rare weed of a different botanical species. A previous visit to the place where to Dr. Locard a patch of this same weed growing nearby, and with ripe seeds ready to escape from the plants. Following up this clue connect- ing the suspected person with the scene of the crime, Dr. Locard's detectives obtained other evidence and finally a confession, Nearly always. Dr. Locard as- serts, dust of many tell-tale kinds can be extracted from clothing which has been worn for any length of time. The most careful the body was found had disclosed |. brushing will not remove all of the dust particles which may connect a workman with the dust of a particular trade or a householder with the dust of an individual neighborhood. To collect dust thus entangled in the fabric of clothing too firmly to be brushed out by ordinary means. Dr. Locard has devised a miniature but powerful vacuum cleaner, which sucks this dust out and collects it in a glass bottle for later miscroscopic ¢x- amination, NEWSPAPERMAN DIES (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Montreal, April 17--John A, Mc- Donald, 39, well-known mewspaper- man of Winnipeg and Montreal, died here yesterday.

A Socialist amend- ment to insert in the Bill words to the effect that the Order should be allowed to possess only such property as was expressly mention- ed in the Bill was rejected by 326 votes to 262. Other divisions followed, but they merely served to show thal the opposition to the Bill, whilé it lost nothing in persistence, hac become stabilized, and that t' minority was powerless to defeat the Government. The Bill was finally passed by! 825 votes to 255.
