TORONTO OFFICE 407 Bond Biilding, 66 Temperance Street, Telephone Adelaide 0107. H. D. Tresidder, representative. REPRESENTATIVES IN U. S. Powers and Stone, Inc, New York and Chicago. MONDAY, AUGUST 12, 1929 THE BELLEVILLE VOTE The ratepayers of Belleville did well in last Fri- day's vote when they followed the example of the ratepayers of Oshawa and decided, by an overwhelm- ; ing majority, to purchase their hydro-electric dis tribution system from the Hydro-Electric Power Com- mission of Ontario. The situation in Belleville was almost exactly the same as it was in Oshawa when the vote was taken two months ago, and the vote of 413 for and 110 against shows that there was a great preponderance of public sentiment in favor of the project. The Belleville vote means another steps towards the day when the whole Central Ontario system will be unscrambled, and will pass into the possession of the municipalities. With Belleville and Oshawa ad- ded to the list of cities with their own plants, only the smaller municipalities remain to take this step, and already Cobourg is making inquiries with a view to similar action there. In connection with this situation, it has been made known that the statements credited to the Hon. J. R. Cooke, the government's representative on the Hydro commission, were somewhat misunderstood throughout this part of the province. Thus the com- ments of some newspapers, including The Oshawa Times, were not quite justified by the facts as made known when later corrections were issued. Never- theless, it is still true that there will be a substantial reserve and surplus to be made available to the muni- cipalities, not as a cash gift, but in the form of credits which could be applied either to further rate reduc- tions or to lessening the indebtedness to the com- mission of these munitipalities which are now pur- chasing their plants. In spite of this misunderstanding, however, the original facts in favor of the purchase of the hydro systems stand unchallenged, and the municipalities taking this step will stand to benefit tremendously by taking over their distribution plants. | 4X n ANOTHER NEW HIGHWAY A strong agitation has been started in Eastern Qn- tario for the designation of a new provincial high- way, running along the lake shore and the shore of the Bay of Quinte, and providing another new high- way through Prince Edward County, This highway has been sought by a large delegation from the coun- ties adjacent to that route, the delegates putting up a stirring case in an interview with the minister of highways. There is much to commend a highway of the type which is suggested. As a scenic route, it would chal- lenge any other highway in the province of Ontario, for Prince Edward County and the Bay of Quinte district are famed for the beauty of their scenery. From this standpoint alone, the new highway is worthy of the serious consideration of the government, There is an economic side to the highway, too, which is rather important, There are districts in that section of Ontario which are still a long way from good roads, and in which the farmets have no road facilities to take their prpduce to market. The delegation which interviewed the minister pointed out that 'in some cases they have hauls of twenty or thirty miles, over poor roads to their markets, This places a decided handicap upon them, and provides another good reason why the proposal should be sym- pathetically received. The minister has given assur- ance that such consideration will be given, and it is to be hoped that this does not merely mean what such promises usually mean,--the shelving of the plan for an indefinite period. UNEMPLOYMENT AND IMMIGRATION Once again the city of Toronto finds itself faced with a serious unemployment situation. The head of the government employment service in that city is finding that the city is being flooded by unskilled workers, many of them new arrivals from the United States, Great Britain and other countries; all at- tracted to the large centres in the hope of securing employment, thus jeopardizing the opportunities which exist for the bona-fide residents securing work. This is one of the penaities which large cities in this country have to pay, first of all for their size, and secondly for the mistakes made by the immi- gration authorities. There is no doubt of the fact that men who become tired of working in the rural areas or in the smaller urban communities, or who cannot find work there, flock to the big industrial centres, feeling confident that there they will obtain employment, In reality, they are not bettering their own chances, hut making them less, for a large city has its fluctuations of employment, and experience has shown that when the bad seasons come, it is hardly possible to take care of the established resi- dents, without having to look after those who are ' paweomers. Much of the blame, however, lies in the desperate A I .u--_H: :- a rush to secure immigrants to settle in Canada. Peo- 'ple urged tp to come, with the idea that they shall become farm workers.. But each year thousands of them, after only a short stay on the farm, decide that they have neither the qualifications nor the desire to become farmers, and they gravitate to the nearest city, and in Ontario the t majority go to Toronto. "One 1y serious aspect of the situation is that a large number of these people are non-British, | but come from Bhropean countries. With lower standards of living, they "are willing to work 'for much lower wages than the Britishers, and thus | they secufe a practical monopoly on the employment that is available for unskilled workers. Too many foreigners have been allowed to come to Canada on a bare chance of finding employnient, 4nd have thus created a glut on the labor market. - The present experience is by mo means a new one for Toronto, but. it comes at a tie when its full meaning should be impressed upon the immigration authorities, 'Canada' 'needs settlers, but only such settlers as can be assimilated into the life of the country without disturbing its normal labor con-' ditions. These conditions are apparently being greatly disturbed at the present time by the influx of immi- grants, and it would be well for the authorities to consider very seriously a policy of curtailed immigra- tion until such time as conditions right themselves. THE COST OF LIQUOR SALES The report of the dominion bureau of statistics on the amount of liquor consumed in Canada, and par- ticularly in Ontario, during the year 1928, provides the strongest possible condemnation of the govern. ment sale of liguor which is at present practised in this and other provinces. It is almost staggering to be told that the people of eight of the nine provinces of Canada, in one year, spent $107,604,384 in pur- chasing liquor. It is not to the credit of the province of Ontario, either, that of this total, no less than $48,000,000 was paid over the counters of the government liquor stores. To grace by the name of government control the spending of so colossal a sum on liquor is an absolute misnomer. There is no control of liquor in this province at all. It is sold openly over the counter to whoever wants to buy it, and once it is sold all control is gone. It does not take a great deal of imagination to realize what it would mean to the people of Ontario were these tens of millions of dollars spent wisely instead of being thrown away in the purchase of intoxicating liquors. Spent in that way, it is a sheer waste, and what is even more regrettable is that the" first cost of the liquor is not the end of it. There must be taken into consideration, also, the huge amount which is paid out in fines for abuse of this liquor. On the one hand, the government collects its revenue from selling its liquor, and on the other, it collects more reyenue in fines from those who drink it. The province would be a great deal fur- ther ahead if all the liquor purchased had been poured down the sewers instead of down the throats of human beings for them, at least, its potency for evil would have been ended, In these days when there are fears of business and industrial stringency, it is deplorable that go much of the hard-earned money of the workers should be spent for liquor. It is an economic loss which cannot help but be felt throughout the whole province. Neither Ontario nor any other province in the Dominion can afford to waste millions of dollars on such a traffic as the liquor traffic, and the report should make all right-thinking people realize that the sooner the liquor menace is abolished en- tirely the better it will be for Ontario. LABOR VINDICATED The Labor candidate in the bye-election held on Friday last in the English constituency of Twicken- ham, was not elected, but nevertheless the vote which was accorded him can be taken by his party as a vindication of its policies as enunciated since Ramsay 'MacDonald came into power. The Twickenham election was held as the result of the elevation to the peerage of Sir William Joynson- Hicks, who was the former member for this con- stituency. In the recent general election, he was given a splendid majority of almost six thousand votes over his nearest opponent, who was a Liberal, In Friday's bye-election, Sir John Ferguson, the Con- servative candidate, had a majority »f only 500 over the Labor nominee, a clear gain of about 5,500 votes for the candidate representing the government. This represents a strong reversion of feeling against the Conservative, and in favor of the Labor party, It is true that the Liberal candidate, who, incidentally, was the same man in both contests, in proportion lost most heavily, since his vote dropped from 7,243 to 1,920. But it is significant that the Conservative can- diddte dropped from 21,087 votes to 14,715, while the Labor nominees held very close to the general elec- tion figures, The only conclusion at which one can reasonably arrive is that, once in power, the Labor government is winning the confidence of the electors, and that there is little fear in the minds of the British public as to what is likely to happen under a Labor regime.

Barton, M.D. PERFUMES AND APPETITE You have read about Pavlov's ex- periment in which dogs learned by 'hearing a bell toll that food would be ready for them, and digestive Juices began to flow. This condition had been gradually' brought about by the ringing of the bell and placing the food immediately before them, but finally the bell it- self was sufficient to start the juices flowing, You know that when you think of certain foods you like, particularly when you are hungry, the mouth be- gins to "water" because of the diges- | tive juice of the mouth, the saliva, immediately begins to flow. And the other digestive juices of the stomach and pancreas also be- gin to flow at the thought, sight, or smell of food. Now this seems only natural when we remember that sight, smell, and taste, are really part of the brain, and the brain then sends the nerve impulses down to the mouth, stom- ach, and pancreas, which start the juices flowing. However here is something a lit- tle different that will cause us to do some thinking about food, appetite, and digestion. Some French research men have observed an increase of stomach juice in the majority of thirty patients wno smelled' various fragrant substances, such as smell- ing salts, lavender and mint, for fif- teen minutes. And in addition to the increased amount, the juice was richer in hy- drochloric acid and pepsin, than it was when secured from thé stomach before the experiment, The saliva or mouth digestive juice was also increased. You and I can understand juices flowing with the taste, sight, or smell of food, but why and how these fra- grant substances excite the juices is hard to understand, Of course a rubber ball put into the stomach causes the stomach te contract on it and the juice to flow, simply because of its weight or irri- tation of the lining of the stomach. But the simple smelling of fra- grant. substances with 'no food lure about them is hard to explain. It must set up some irritation of the brain cells which control the flow of digestive juices. This certainly looks like a pleas- ant field for investigation. Also it should be of help to jaded appetites. REMMEL, FORT NEWS. ARTHUR K. EDITOR OF THE WAYNE (INDIANA) SENTINEL, SAYS: THAT there is a vast differ- ence between publicity and news. Mere publicity will not bring the desired results. _ Indeed, there must be an element of news in the publicity--something that will attract attention. More than that, real money must be spent in real advertising. Churches must advertise, and, of course, the most effective advertising is newspaper advertising. The church not only. should advertise, but it must advertise because it is slowly but surely losing ground in our great centers of population, which are inevitably to dominate the nation, The right kind of advertising should increase the good will of the public toward the church. It should break down the prejudice of the public. concerning those matters which are little understood by the mass of people outside the church, and there are many such. A general campaign should deal with the form of government of the church. Most churches may casily lay claim to the spirit of democracy in the mannér that they are governed. The subject of creed ,should be handled in a popular manner, Few outside of the church have the proper conception of the doctrines which are actually taught by the church today. Their minds run back to medieval times for the church's theology. The terms of admission should be made very plain. To many men the barriers of church membership are almost in- surmountable.

ONTARIO MEETS YOUR {NEW U.S. RULING ON HOME-MADE CIDER Order Will Eliminate Inter- ference by Prohibition Agents FOR PERSONAL USE 'Beverages Can Contain One- Half of One Per Cent Alcohol Washington, Aug. 12--Home ma- nufacture of cider and fruit juices, and shipment of grapes and grape "concentrates" are protected under a new Treasur Prohibition ran, The order cautions prohibition a- gents against "checking off the names of purchasers as grapes arrive at ter- minal markets" unless an intent to violate the law is evident. Dr. Doran issued the order largely in behalf of California grape inter- ests in order to facilitate the market- ing of their large crops and to pre- vent interference with legitimate trade in them. The cider and fruit juices can le- gally contain more than one half of one per cent alcohol, the limit fiixed on other beverages by the Volstead Act, but must be non-intoxicating in fact. Just how strong the bever- ages can be and still be "non-intox- icating in fact" is a question under- termined for there never has been a definition in terms of alcoholic content for the phrase. "We leave that up to the juries," Doran said. " Various courts differ on what percentage of alcohol is in- toxicating in fact. The manufacture of cider and fruit juices does not ne- cessarily mean that we are permit- ting the manufacture of wines for beverages permitted must not be classified as wines." Doran said that in the last few years the prohibition bureau had been swamped with protests from California vineyard operators, large apple growers and others that dry agents were interfering with the mar keting of their crops. "The new order will eliminate this interference and agents will not ques- tion the legal rights of producers, shippers, buyers or manufacturers, hereafter," Doran said. A ed to Hoover It was learned authoritatively that representatives of several California grape producers' associations had ap- pealed to President Hoover for a rul- ing on the legal of shipping and buy- ing of juice grapes before the Doran order was issued to administrators. "Section 29, title two of the Na- tional Prohibition Act authorizes the unrestricted manufacture of non-in- toxicating cider and fruit juices in the home .upon the following three conditions" Doran said. "That such cider and fruit juices shall be non-intoxicating in fact; shall be exclusively for use in the home; and shall not be sold or delivered to any person except those having per- mits to manufacture vinegar. "The shipment of juice grapes, grape juice and concentrates by car load lots, or otherwise, for resale for that purpose is entirely within the law, and you will, therefore, unless the purpose and intent to violate the law is apparent, not interfere with the shipment or removal thereof such as checking off the names of pur- chasers as grapes arrive at terminal markets.

Sale Not Tremendous Doran said the retail business of selling grapes for juice manufacture and of apples for cider manufacture was not tremendous. Last year more than 70,000 cars of grapes were sold for the manufacture of grape juice and this year the amount is expected to be larger. Treasury officials explained that in some localities overzealous -drys had been complaining to prohibition head quarters about shipments of commo- dities for fruit juice and cider manu« facture, The drys desired adminis- trators to detail federal agents to watch grape and apple buyers to as- certain whether they were converting their purchases into hard cider and grape wine, "This new order does away with that worry. Any one can make cider and fruit juices without interference from prohibition agents," Doran said, "If the manufacturers do not attempt to transport or sell their non-intoxi- cating-in-fact beverages they will not be molested."
