FRIDAY, MAY 10, 1929 THE IMPORTANCE OF THE CHILD With this issue of The Times, the mothers and fathers of Oshawa are presented with the annual Baby Week Edition, made possible throughout the enterprise and initiative of those merchants of the city whose announcements appear therein. There is more behind this edition, however, than the an- nouncements of the merchants. It is the product of an idea that has grown in recognition during the last generation, that of the importance of the child to the future of this country. It is but a hackneyed phrase to say that the child is father of the man, and that as the children of to- day are developed, so will be the men and women of the future. However hackneyed the phrase may be, however, it still contains in it a world of truth. The recognition which is being given to the im- portance of child life by modern society is one of the encouraging signs of the times. It finds its ex- pression in the' extension of child welfare work, in the pre-natal care clinics and provisions which are now common in all progressive communities; in the public health and school nurse services, and in the ever-increasing attention being paid to the re duction of the infantile mortality rate. The result is that a baby born into the world to- day is a much more fortunate atom of humanity than the baby of a generation ago. He is sur- rounded by just the same amount of mother love and tenderness, but behind that there is the added know- ledge of medical science, and the added advantage of services which have been made possible only in the last ten years, It is not only important that every effort should be madeé to save the babies of Canada for Canada. It is equally important. that their development be made a matter of the most skilled care and atten- tion, not only in the development of their bodies, but in the training of their minds and the direc- tion of their energies. In this respect, Oshawa is fortunate, for its pub- lic health services, its schools and other educational facilities, its Sunday schools and church organiza- tions for character-building in children, and its newly established juvenile court, are all institutions which are directed towards one end, to enable the' chil dren of Oshawa to grow up to be God-fearing, well trained and educated, and strong and healthy men and women, well qualified and wellfitted to take their rightful places in the citizenship of Canada. ANOTHER NEW NORTH So much has been said and written in recent months of the new north which is being developed in the mining areas of Canada that little attention has been paid to another new north that is being opened up' in the Peace River district in Alberta and British Columbia. Yet there is a development there which promises much in the way of permanence, and which "will, in' due season, add much to the material wealth of Canada. The settlement of the Peace River country is to day going on at a great rate. So far, the homestead 'entries in the Alberta section this year have doubled those for last' year each month. In March, 226 new homesteads were opened up, as compared with 109 for March of 1928. Last year, there were over 5,000 homestead entries into the Peace River district, and it is expected that 1929 will see twice that number. This is the right kind of development, the kind for which Canada has been crying out for many years. The vast agricultural areas of the Peace River country, capable of producing millions of bushels of wheat and other grain, have just begun to be tapped. As the new settlers flock in to fill up these great spaces, the boundaries of Canada's grain growing areas will spread farther and farther north, and the country will reap the benefit of the rich harvests which will come out of land that is even yet in its virgin, untilled state. we K THE STORM SEWER SYSTEM The report of City Engineer Smith on the exten- sion of the storm sewer system of Oshawa, as pre- sented to the city council, makes it clear that exten- sive work will be necessary before the main business section of the city is entirely freed from the menace of periodical floods. The heavy losses experienced by many merchants and business men at the time of the flooding of a month.ago made it imperative that something should 'be done to relieve the situa- .tion, 'and the réport of the engineer emphasizes the gravity of the conditions which prevail with the pre- sent limited storm sewer system. Sooner or later, of course, this problem will have to be mndertaken seriously, by the city council, A few more floods such as occurred on April 5, would do morc damage than the cost of the new storm sewer which is recommended by the Those business men who have suffered heavy losses in suc» cessive floods will be whole-heartedly in favor of the scheme of extension being undertaken, because they have a natural desire to see their property pro- tected, 3 The engineer's report gives an estimate of $37,060 for the construction of a 36 inch storm sewer from the Oshawa Creek at John Street across the business section to the corner of King and Celina streets. No estimate is given of the cost of three other sewers which are recommended, It will thus be seen that the outlay necessary to carry out the recommenda- tions is considerable. . The problent thus placed before the city council is a serious one, and merits the most careful con- sideration from all angles. The question of cost is an important one, for the city cannot. go on for ever undertaking projects which demand heavy, expendi- tures of money. But, on the other hand, there are times when necessity drives, and it may be that this is one of these occasions. WOMEN SPEAK THEIR MIND Is it possible to. make the subject of international peace a practical issue in an election campaign? An answer to this comes from Britain and the honour of the first real attempt goes to the gentler sex. No less than five million enfranchised women in the Motherland have made their election. slogan "Make The Peace Pact A Reality" and irrespective of party they will impress on their elected representatives that they must be practical protagonists of peace. Here is the great opportunity for women in pub- Hic life. Mothers, wives and sweethearts felt the suffering and horror of the Great War 'even more than their men-folk. Excitement and action was man's portion but thousands of women had nothing but those dreary hours of waiting, longing and an- xiety and thousands, when the battle worn heroes returned were left forever bereft of those dear ones who meant more to them than life fitself. The women of Britain can rightly grasp this op- portunity with deeper realization of the miseries of war than those of any other nation. It is true that the women of France saw their beloved homeland ravaged and partly ruined but since the Armistice they have enjoyed comparative prosperity and a great revival of trade, whereas not only did Britain suffer the loss of the flower of its manhood, but the years since the war have been lean years of struggle, un- employment, poverty and depressed trade. Five million women of Britain have made a sol- emn covenant that man must put his house in or- der and that they will not bear sons to be the vie tims of senseless hate, industrial greed or the poor pawns of senile diplomacy. They will insist that through the aegis of the League of Nations and by every other agency that can be put in being they will make peace on earth a practical reality. If the women of every other country follow the example of their British sisters the world may soon be for- ever freed from the greatest enemy of contentment, progress and prosperity. EDITORIAL NOTES One of the most undesirable gifts which some people can have is the gift of the gab. The start of the British Genreal election finds all three parties enthusiastic, But what about the finish? About this time of the year picnickers begin saving up papers and other trash {o scatter arourd the picnic grounds. The police are busy testing brakes on automobiles. It might be more effective to test the people who use the brakes. After reading of all the tornadoes in the southern states, onc doubts the truth of the popular song, "Way Down South in Heaven." The year 1929 will go down into history as the bad year of floods and storms. But it still has about eight months to vindicate itself. Peterboro has joined the ranks of the cities adopt- ing daylight saving. If a few more would adopt it, there would be a possibility of it being made uni- versal all over Canada. « Other Editors' Comment A FAVORITE QUOTATION (Boston Transcript).

IT OUGHT TO BE (St. Catharines Standard) Children of Communists are said to have tramp- led on the Union Jack in a paradé at Timmins. They are of Finnish origin and it ig said that a paper called Vapaus in Sudbury terrorizes all who won't join the Communist organization, It would be no breach of Canadian libefty to suppress this paper, as suggested by the Canadian Legion. It is an abuse of liberty to let the paper publish, QUACK MEDICINES (Edinburgh Weekly Scotsman) Mr. Lloyd George's panacea for unemployment is no cure at all. Even his henchmen, Sir Herbert Samuel, agrees with. Mr, Runciman that a per- manent cure for unemployment can only be found in a revival of trade. How Mr. Lloyd George's scheme is going to revive trade passes the com- "prehension of anyone who gives a moment's thought to the subject, and 10,000 windy orations will not convince a single shrewd worker that the way to end a period of difficulty is to go in for unlimited borrowing. - « Bits of Verse - - COUNTRY STATION Surely my heart has told me this before That no wit tells me, hreathlessly and plain,-- Silence that smites like sound upon the brain, A sunlit pasture-land, remote and poor, The dusty station with its sagging door, The gravel path, the dockweed's russet stain, And the brown restive child whose eyes explore,-- Recurrent miracle,--the train, the train! Stay in your sunny pathway, little feet, For trains are often tardier than thought And roads unraveled are not half so sweet, And worlds too well explored will come to naught, People who ride on trains must ride away, We are the prisoners who cannot stay. ~Jessie Nelson North in The Chicago Tribuge. That Body of Pours By James W. Barton, M.D. THE BODY A FURNACE I wonder if you would have a if you were to think of it as a fur- nace--a living furnace--burning away day and night, year after year; that if this: furnace goes out then life it- self passes away. And yet that is oi what is hap- pening! Your body, your tissues, as coal or gas is burned in an engine or boiler, And the results are ex- actly the same; energy and heat is produced. . The energy of the body does not come directly from the heat that is manufactured as it is in a steam boiler, but by a chemical action whereby the substances, (the food) burned provide power for all the muscular moyements of the body, the circulation of the blood, the digestive and other fluids, and all the .pro- cesses that go on inside the body. as you know, is the three main class- es of foodstuffs, together with salts and' water; proteins which are meats, eggs, cheese, "and wheat; carbohy- drates which are the starches and sugars; fats as in lard, meat, butter, cream, olive oil. . And then what is called the auxil- lary or "helping" food factors, the vitamins, which as Dr, Fred M. Allen says, are a group of substances of unknown chemical origin, small quantities of which are somehow absolutely necessary for health or even for life," Now each one of these foods, pro- teins, carbohydrates, and fats, has its particular work to do, and it is very unwise for humans to get the "one food" idea. The starches are the heat and energy producers and so vegetables and bread are ideal fuel for this purpose. The fats are broken up into gly- cerine and fatty acids, the glycerine of which is completely convertible into sugar, and sugar is the sub- stance that when burned, produces the heat and energy. Fats seem to need the starches to start them burn- ing properly. What isn't used is stored in various places in the body. The protiens, meats, eggs, and so forth, are absolutely necessary for building up tissue or repairing worn out tissue. Dr Allen reminds us that substitutes are possible for other foods but not for proteins. So. take care of that body of yours as you would a furnace. You try to get the best coal, see that it gets a fresh air supply, and you re- move the ashes regularly. Do the same for your body.

The total loss up to the present time is between $1,- 000,000 and $2,000,000, Some farmers are already ruined and no belated alleviation of the situation can save them from pov= erty, 'In other cases a partial crop may still be saved from the deluge it providence take a hand at once and the victims provided with suf- ficient means to carry them through the winter. There has been ho loss of life, while with the exception of large flocks of sheep, which are report- ed drowned in one area, the cattle seem to have escaped the onslaught, The two main areas affected are in Dover township, where the wat- ers of Lake St. Clair have invaded the shores and that district sur- rounding Erieau. 10 GROW ALONG CANADIAN LINES Dissatisfaction With Tem. perance Situation Expressed Toronto, May 10.--Opposition was offered to the publication wet "Rules and Forms of Procedure' for use in the Presbyterian Church in Canada at the closing meeting of the Toronto-Kingston synod in Knox church yesterday afternon. An overture requesting the gen- eral assembly not to proceed fur- ther with the book was introduced by Rev, Patterson Hall of Galt and seconded by E. A. Thompson of Elora. ' "We do not have to follow too slavishly in Canada the old kirk," \Rav, I. B. Skene contended, "but we are not going to follow any oth- er overseas church either." He believed that there was a thoughtless use of church. buildings which the minister could remedy. "I believe the Ladies aids could stand. a little disciplining along these lines," he said. 'There is a lackadaisical attitude existing in the use of churches, odges and even political meetings being held in them, and it is the duty of ministers to safeguard them." Minister Holds the Key A minister could adjourn a ses- sion if it refused to agree with his admonitions, Rev, John Mustard de- clared: for, although the session held the key to the church, it coumta not sit without the minister. Rev, E, A, Thompson, however, contend- ed that such an attitude would ali- enate his congregation, and that if the minister was the right kind of man he could influence the sessivu to do what he wished. "It is not necessary for a vigor- ous church to hesitate to advance along its own line regardless. of what other churches may do in the old country or anywhere else," Rev. L. B. Gibson declared, He nua never experienced any difficulty with the session in regard to the use of church property and that it was unnecessary' for a minister to pass a veto. "I am tired of Irisu- Preshyterianism or Scotch-Presby- terianism as applied to Canada," he continued. '"'Surely we can develop Canadian Presbyterianism." The overture was passed but Dr. Skene requested that recotd be made of his protest.
