York and Chicago. a -- THURSDAY, JUNE 20, 1929 AUXILIARY POWER NEEDED During the summer months it is not unusual for the people of this district to experience much incons venience as the result of a power breakdown being caused by the severe electric storms which are pecu- liar to this country, Such an occasion occurred yes- terday, when industry in Oshawa was tied up for a considerable time by the lightning interfering with a high tension wire east of the city, This also happen- ed a few weeks ago during a storm, and there is al- ways the possibility that it may happen again when- ever there is an electrical disturbance of sufficient intensity, Trouble of this kind is expensive to industry in Oshawa, and it would be worth while for the new public utilities commission, when it comes into being after the purchase agreement has been officially sign- ed by the city to take over the plant, to investigate the possibilities of arranging for an auxiliary supply of some kind to be made available in case of emer- gency. There is just a possibility that arrangements could be made to have auxiliary lines connected with sys- tems other than the Central Ontario System, such as is done in the case of the system which supplies the northern half of Ontario county, In some cities, too, there are auxiliary connections which can be cut in immediately the power goes off, unless, of course, the trouble is right in the plant itself, - = While the local plant is in the stages of transi ""tion, of course, it is hardly likely that anything can be done, but one of the first duties of the commis- sion which' is elected to control the Oshawa public utilities should be to investigate this matter with a view to giving relief when it is needed, THE SESSION OVER The session of parliament which has just closed will go down into history as one of the most feature- less which parliament has experienced for many years, There was, of course, the usual plethora of talking, There is always that in the House of Com- mons, whether it means anything or not, and this session was more than usually productive of speeches which decupied a great deal of time, cost the country a good deal of money, and yet contributed nothing to the solution of the problems which lie before the government. In fact, the session of 1929 seemed to be a kind 'of sham battle, a rehearsal for the strenuous session which is promised for 1930, Sonte of the most im- portant questions, such as tariff revision' and the development of 'the St. Lawrence Waterway, 'have been laid away for another ycar, The possibility that a general clection will follow the session of 1930 has resulted in the session of this year gesolving itself into a factory for advance cam- paign material on both sides, so that the proceedings have not been entirely without interest, The outstanding feature of the scssion was the budget, another 'satisfactory finantial presentation by the Hon. J.. A, Robb, resulting im further debt and taxation reductions, The long-drawn out debate on it took up a great deal of time without accomplish- ing yery much that was useful, but still,-it- allowed the members to Blow off steam, and that is always advisable. Phe persistent' attack of the Conservative opposi- tion on the administration of the post office depart- ment by the Hon. P. J. Veniot was another of the \high lights of the session, The! Conservatives. had "the minister in a tight corner on more than one oc- casion, but, backed by a majority in the House, he managed to! scrape through, The last has not been heard, however, of the post master general's depart- ment, for the debate prgvided the Conservatives with plenty of @mmunition which might be used with good wffect in an election campaign, ; "Ou the whole, however, the Session was very uch tike many which préceded it, There were weeks and weeks of 'talking on matters of little importance, and then wher the dog days came along, and the warmth of the sun began to make itself felt, millions of dollars of expenditures were rushed through by the members in asvild gush to get the session finished fo allow lier to go home. This is an annual occurrence, so that it is dutile to raise much protest against it, Yet it docs digelosg one of the weaknesses of the system of govermient under which partisan politics count for nore than the 'welfare of the country with s¢ many of our politicians, A FATAL MISTAKE When Premier Ferguson annolinced his plan for transferring part of the university course to the high schools and part of the high school course to the public schools, (it was severely criticized in many quasters. Yet, had he stuck to his guns, and paysea «RRR FEAT XS ot Sf i vie a ERAN Mo nd CE , THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, JUNE 20, 1929 the law, it vould bave gone into effect, and would, at least, haye been given a trial, But we greatly fear that the proposition is pre- destined to failure, Speaking at Deseronto, the pres mier made a fatal mistake so far as his proposed legislation is concerned, He announced that it would not be made compulsory, but would be left entirely to the decision of the school sections, That is tanta- mount to saying that he does not care whether it ever 'goes into effect or not, The hot reception given the proposed township school board throughout the province is mild compared to what many of the rural people think of the new plans, and it can be taker for granted that, with the plans optional, they will "be adopted by practically none of the rural school sections, eA There is a sigh of weakness in the announcement of the premier, He made it apparent that he was more concerned about the votes of the rural people than he was-in earnest in. his proposals for educa- tion reform, The bill, if it is introduced, is certain to be unpopular. If made compulsory, it would arouse strong feeling against the government, And because that would be disastrous from the political viewpoint, the optional element is introduced, in the hope that it will save the votes for the party, even if it renders the bill an educational measure in name only, and with no practical effect, GLARING LIGHTS The driver of a car which caused the death of a motorist near Port Stanley the other night makes the plea that he was blinded by the headlights of another car, and that this caused him to drive his, car off the road, Any person who has done much driving at night on the Ontario highways can well believe this state- ment, There is 'in Ontario a law against glaring headlights, and it is supposed to be enforced, but the kind of enforcement givén is a joke, Scores. of cars can be seen on the highways on any busy night with headlights which are contrary to the law, which have a blinding effect on other drivers coming to- wards them, : Apart from the fact that courtesy and common- sense should impel motorists to avoid having glar- ing headlights, there is the added fact that the law is supposed to place a ban on them. To enforce it might mean a great many prosecutions, but it would be worth while to go ahead and prosecute rather than have more fatal accidents on this account, LEAVES THE FARM Only a few. months ago there was a great splurge in the newspapers because the son of a British ad- miral had migrated to Canada and had settled down to work as'a farm laborer, The young lad was laud- ed to the skies, and had his picture in the papers as a shining example of one who was willing to become Canadianized, and to seek his fortune as a farmer, But a few weeks have changed the story. He has given up farm work, and is now seeking fame as an aviator, Apparently he prefers to get up in the air rather than get up carly in, the morning, and thus another prospective farmer is lost to Canada. This experience, of course, is not an isolated one, It is an unfortunate feature of immigration policies than they cannot ensure that an immigrant will stay on the farm once he settles there. This young man is like many more, He has found farm life not to his liking, and is seeking something else, That is exactly "what is done by hundreds, yes, by thousands of other young men, They start out as farm laborers, but before long they drift into the cities to swell the numbers of those seeking industrial employment, It is quite a problem to know how to prevent this, It has always been so in Canada, and it always will _ be, unless something can be done to make farm life so attractive that it 'will have a far greater appeal to the immigrant than the life' of the city, A WISE SUGGESTION The. splendid cadet movement in Canada has been hindered in 'its development by strong opposition to it 'by those people who sec in cadet training the germs of a militaristic idea," While the movement is too valuable to be halted altogether on this ac- count it must be admitted, that such criticisms have some basis in fact, because of the usual type of cadet uniforms and by the use of rifles, It has remained for Major J, Jeffrey, cadet inspect- or for Western -Ontario, to make a suggestion that would, in all probability, remove the objections which have been raised, His thought is that the khaki * cadet uniforms should "be replaced by uniforms of some other color, probably featuring the school colors, and that the rifles should be abandoned, and the time formerly devoted to rifle drill given over to further physical training, Coming from a man who is a military man, but who is also an expert in physical training, since he was at the head of that department of the Royal Military College, this suggestion is worthy of official consideration, Its adoption would stop much of the carping criticism of the cadet movement, and would raise it to a status entirely removed from any thougnt of military training, ; EDITORIAL NOTES The hardest thing about elections nowadays is to figure out which party has won, An Englishman makes the claim that he is the dis- coverer of the saxophone, He took a terrible chance.

WAR NOT GLORIFIED (From the Washington Post) In memorializing the nation's sol- dier dead there is no thought of glor- ifying war, They are honored by the people because of the part they play- ed in re-establishing peace. The ob- jective of fighting is to make peace secure with honor, President Hoover referred to the signing of the Kel- logg pact by 40 nations since last Memorial Day as evidence of the abandonment of the aggressive use of arms and a declaration that here- after armaments will be used only for defence, Nevertheless, he pointed out, preparations for war are ad- vancing in every land, and he empha- sized the importance of an agree- ment among nations "that we shall march together toward reductions in naval equipment." - Bits of Humor - Nn THE SHOT MISSED "Are you the boy who threw the stone at me?"

From this the Stratford paper goes on to point out that the selection o a boy's vocation is a mighty import- ant thing, This man in 'question should have been a mechanic, He doesn't like clerical work, but his parents picked it out for him and that is the only thing he knows well enough to make a living at today. A great many of the misfits of life are the result of parents dictat- ing to their children what they shall do when they grow up. In many instances it is decreed that the boy must follow in his father's footsteps no matter whether he is fitted for the particular business or profession, Lucky is the parent whose son picks out his own lifework, and has the courage to follow it, The most path- etic figure is the boy who graduates from the high school or university with absolutely no idea of the line of work he wishes to follow, The Stratford paper rightly points out that technical and vocational schools are assisting in this work of deciding people's vocations, although the problem has not been completely solved by these institutions, It is a hopeful sign to find that in the teach- ing profession especially in the pub lic schools, this, question of voca tional guidance 1s finding a more im- portant place. Education is supposed to fit a child to fll a place in life, and it should provide the leadership to assist the child in picking out a vocation to which that child is suited, Parents can also assist in this work and in order to lead them to do this the Stratford paper adds: "Try by all means to uncover any suggestion that is in the mind of the boy; seek to find out his natural bent and above all else make a very worth-while effort to see to it that the boy has a chance to do the thing he is going to enjoy doing."

Barton, M.D. CURING ASTHMA You will remember that it is but a short time ago since asthma was simply taken for granted, The patient and family were told that although the symptoms were se: vere no one ever died of asthma, and there was nothing to do but put up with it. Doses of amyl nitrite, a few drops on a handerchief, later, doses of adrenalin by injection into skin or by mouth were given during at. tacks; but that ended the matter, Now asthma is divided into two classes, those caused by protein sub. stances in the air or food, and those that follow attacks of bronchitis, In those due to protein substances ---animal fur, meat, eggs, pollen of plants, the physician makes skin tests of these substances until he finds the right one, Sometimes a local condition of the nose is the "trigger" that starts off the asthmatic attack. A report of 120 cases treated by the X-ray is reported from England. A good result was obtained in 89 cases, some results in 17, and none in 15, A noticeable result in quite a num: ber of patients was a definite increase in weight, Patients stated that they felt considerably better in general health and were mentally brighter. Several patients who had been trea- ted for nasal catarrh unsuccessfully -atated that this had disappeared with the attacks of asthma after the X- ray 'treatments, ; The doses are given once or twice a week, according to the severity of the attacks, until four or six are given, : Now this means only six or eight weeks of treatment and the above results speak for themselves, It is certainly worth the effort. The whole point then is that while adrenalin is the most effective treat. ment during the attack, that suf. ferers from asthma should not be satisfled with this, but keep after the cause until it is found. And as you know it is now found in the majority of cases.

Vield, Cobourg M.0.H., arraign- ed on four charges following the wounding of Alice Earle, 18-year- old girl, by a bullet alleged to have 'been fired by Dr, Pield on Friday night last, appeared before Magis- trate Floyd yesterday on charges of assault and wounding. The doctor was committed for trial. A charge of pointing a firearm was amend- ed to one of unlawful discharge of a firearm in a public place. The remaining charge was that of caus. ing a distugbance. The latter two charges were left over until the indictable offence was disposed of at the next session of the court in November and the accused allowed out on bail of $5,000. A further bond of $1,000 was demanaea whereby he is required to keep ths peace and also forbidden to see his wife at any time prior to his next appearance in court in Novemuver. J. K. MacKay of Toronto prosecut- ed and J. B. McColl appeared for the defendant. Testifying in the wounding charge, Alice Earle, alleged victim of the shooting, who had to be as- sisted into the witness box, de- scribed the circumstances of the scene in which she was struck in the hip by a bullet, Accompanied by girl friends, she had rounded the corner of McGill and King streets, where the residence of the accused was situated, when she oh- served a group gathered around Hearing the report of 8 revolver, the girls started to run, stated the' winess, when Dr, Field approsvae ed and fired from & revolver, A' singing sensation in her hip was the first intimation that she had heen struck by a bullet, Follows ing that she was removed to 8 doc~ tor and subsequently to her home. Questioned by the crown, she stated that she still suffered from the wound. Her testimony was £orros borated by other witnesses, Dr, Jamieson, who attended her, de- scribed the injury, said to have been inflicted by the bullet, as a contusion, that drew a small spot of blood to the surface layers of the skin. y Alleged to Have Hit Wife f Called to give evidence in the assault charge, George Coole and Joseph Fox testified that they saw the accused strike his wife win his hand. Dr. Lloyd, who attende ed Mrs. Field following the alleged assault, described the location of a large number of bruises on her body. Chief of Eolice J. Ruse, told of being summoned to the scene of the trouble and of disarming Dr. Field. On that occasion Dr, Field had said: "You know X wouldn't shoot her chief, I was just trying to scare her." Dr. Field was arrested by Con- stable Noble at 5 p.m, Tuesday. The affair is sald to have started in a famliy altercation on Friday evening between Dr. Field and his wife. The doctor is said to have struck his wife a number of times when both were outside the house and then after re-entering the house emerged with a revolver, which he fired into the street, and according to evidence given at the preliminary' hearing directed the shots towards the pavement. Alice Earle, who was passing at the time, is sald to have been struck by one of these bullets which ricochetted from the pavement, The parents of the girl have not stated whether or not they will file suit for dam- the side entrance of the hourse. ages. and still is the easiest and most pro- fitable form of agriculture, because the prairie soil is the most fertile and one of the cheapest to be found anywhere in the world, But the fer- tility of even the richest soil is grad- ually impaired by. exploitation--and in the case of Canada the rate is be- ing materially accelerated by contin- uous wheat-growing without regard to rotation of crops--and as land within reasonable distance of the rail- way is becoming scarcer, values are increasing, so that the position of the wheat-grower is bound to become less and less profitable, even with the ad- vantage of machinery, as time goes on and as competition with Russia is re-established, StoBiE-FORLONG STOCKS bp -- ¢@ BONDS GRAIN - Head Office: Reford Building RAY AND WELLINGTON STS.
