It is made up of hard-working industrious and thrifty peo- ple, and of people whose great aim seems to be to so conduct themseives that they will be worthy of full Canadian citizenship. _ For some weeks now, a large number of Ukrainians have been preparing themselves for full citizenship. "Now ninety-one of them have made their applications for naturaliza- tion and a special sitting is to be held by Judge Thompson, in Oshawa, to hear these applications. When the papers are granted, it is also announced, a special recéption is to be held; at which these new Canadians will be officially presented witlr their natur- alization certificates by Mayor Mitchell, It is a tribute to Oshawa that these men should be ready, after living for a sufficient length of time in this city, to accept the duties and responsibilities of Canadian citi- Other Editor's Comments THE THING TO REMEMBER (Meaford Mirror) Rural Hydro users have not had a cut in the cost.

"There isn't much news value in the fact that the President of the United States goes out for a walk without his hat, but, should the President resign, pro- bably every newspaper in the country would clear its first six pages for that story.

C. A. Dunning. minister of finance, have in them y several items of interest and importance. It 1s gratifying, of course, to find these esti- mates decreased by almost five million dol- lars. That shows, at least, a desire on the part of the government to effect some eco- nomies in the spending of public monies. Apart from that, however, there are indica- tions of a growing interest on the part of the government in some of the services which haye been rather neglected in -the past. ° LJ] * . * For instance, the development of aviation is given a decided stimulus by an increase of a million and a FKalf dollars for that pur- pose, to be spent, largely, in training ser- vices, civil operations and air mail routes. Major-General J. H. MacBrien of Port Perry, president of the Aviation League of Canada, has long been urging that-the government should adopt a more generous policy to- wards aviation, and his wish is, to some ex- tent, being granted. ® * * w * Increased allowance for care of patients in hospitals for war veterans-and for medical treatment of disabled men is provided for, and there will be general agreement with that. It is noticeable, however, that the ap- propriation for the payment of war pensions still remains at about the same amount as last year, so' that no provision is made for the more generous treatment of war veter- ans that has been promised. There is al- ways the possibility, of course, of provision for this being made in the supplementary estimates, after the new pensions' legislation has been passed by parliament. LJ LJ Ld " The decrease in interest on the public debt of two and a half million dollars is another welcome item. It shows the effects of the policy of debt reduction that has marked the administration of the government for the last few years. This debt reduction policy, if continued, will gradually relieve the peo- ple of Canada of a very large amount of tax- ation now made necessary for the payment of debt interest, and since every $20,000,000 of debt reduction means a yearly reduction of about $1,000,000 in interest, the wisdom of this policy is apparent. _~ * n * * On the whole, there is not much wrong with the estimates, although within the next day or two there will probably be plenty of complaints from places which expected sub- stantial appropriations for public works, and have been disappointed to find them omitted. \ HIGHER TAX RATE LIKELY There is every reason to believe that, in spite of any effort the city council and the smaller spending boards of the city may put forward, there will be an increase in the Oshawa tax-rate for 1930. The large in- , crease in the amount of money required by the board of education,. on account of the tion of the technical school, makes it inevitable that the rate will be higher, and, in addition to 'that, there will be a large in- crease in the debenture payments to be made . by the city this year. Even if the controllable expenditures of . the council are kept below last year's level, 'the increase in debenture payments and in educational estimates will create a substan- tial increase in the rate. The council, no doubt, will do its best to keep the rate down as low as possible, but it is faced with a sit- pation that will make it impossible to keep te at the 1929 figure. her inorease in the tax rate, it should be remembered, is due entirely to the cost of works demanded by the people of Oshawa. ~The new technical school is one of the out- standing examples of this. Every year, tao, there are petitions and requests for exten- sive local improvements, all of which have. 40 be paid for. So the people who ask for these things should not be surprised when ' ' \ zens, they should be made to feel that they are welcome, and that they have a growing part to play in the development of the city and country in which they have chosen to make their homes. CRYING "WOLF" Once again the Soviet government in Rus- sia is at its old game of crying "wolf." It has been characteristic of the Soviet regime that every time a dangerous spirit of revolt and unrest has made itself manifest among the common people of the country, the bogey of an invasion from other powers is held up before the people in an effort to bring them under control. A few days ago, on the 12th anniversary of the founding of the Red Army, the old war scare was revived, and Soviet news- papers and political leaders appealed to the people to unite themselves against the men- ace from Imperialistic powers which are jealous of the Soviet's economic and indus- trial progress. The logical answer, of course, is that there is no sign of enough progress of any kind in Soviet Russia to make any nation jealous. And, to go still further, there is no nation in the world that has, at the present time, a single thought of a militaristic and hostile character towards Russia. That idea exists only in the imagination of the Soviet lead- ers, or else it is simply being used in an ef- fort to make the people forget their own pitiable conditions by holding up the bogey of foreign invasion. It is an old game, of course, but it has been tried so often that it must be fairly well played out by this time, so much so that it would not be surprising to find that it is losing its effect as a means of keeping the peasants in subjection to the military leaders. ~ CIVIL SERVICE SALARIES The recommendations of the Beatty Royal Commission, appointed to inquire into the salaries of technical experts and other high- ranking officials in the civil service, are far- reaching in their scope. It has, for many years, been a great drawback to this coun- try that its technical experts in the employ of the government were paid so little that they were being attracted, in large numbers, by the offers of much higher salaries in the United States. ' Canada can ill afford to lose its highly trained scientific and other workers, They are necessary to the proper development of the research work that has become so im- portant a factor in the advancement of every branch of industry in this country, and if this country is to retain their services, then they should be paid as high salaries as they could attract elsewhere. It is true that the Beatty report recom- mendations, if adopted, will mean a sub- stantial increase in the cost of government in Canada, but since it will provide for a continuity of service by men of special qual- ifications and great ability, it will be worth while to make provision for that increase.

The parlor is a pleasant place to sit on Sunday night. Nice books are on the table, and pic- tures on the wall, And there a cushioned sofa, but I don't think that is all, If 1 am not mistaken 1 think that I am right; Some persons now aré sitting there, this very Sunday night. They sit so close together, at first you cannot see How many there are of them, but 1 don't think there are three. The clock upon the mantel, ticks out with all its might.

UES IS THE BEST EQUIP- MENT THAT THE ADVER- TISER AND HIS AGENT CAN POSSESS." That Body of Pours By James W. Barton, M.D. (By Jas W. Barton, M.D.) BAD TONSILS CAUSE STOMACH TROUBLE A South American physician came | r of cases sembled ulcer of the stomach or of the first part of the intestine, The symptoms were so strikingly like ul- cer that an X-ray picture was taken. This however showed that there was no ulcer. However by the use of the duod- enal tube--the fine tube that physi- cians put down the throat, then past the stomach to first part of small in- testine=-he was able to get some of the organisms that were causing the trouble. They had set up symptoms that were so similar to tonsilitss, in- fection of the tonsils, that he was able to prove that the symptoms were due to the same organisms. He took cultures from the tonsils of these patients and the organisms were the same. Experimenting with these organisms, he was able to set up the same trouble in the stomach of ani- mals, By removing the tonsils of his patients he affected a cure of the symptoms in all his cases. He is of the opinion that these or- ganisms from the tonsils, going down with the feod, acting for a long time on the lining of the stomach and in- testine, may (produce ulcers. He also believes - that in all disturbances of the stomach careful examination of the tonsils should be made, and that many cases of chronic stomach trou- ble, where the patients have bad ton- sils, may be cured by their removal. This is worth our serious consid- eration. For years now the cause of so many cases of stomach and in- testinal (duodenal) ulcer has been attributed to nervousness, overwork, worry and other emotional disturb- ances to constipation, to a lazy liver that was not removing. poisons from the blood, and lately to infection from the teeth. It now would appear that many of these old stomach cases, with chronic indigestion which sometimes is very severe and at other times mild, but severe or mild always present, can be traced to bad tonsils. Remember, healthy tonsils, even if large, are Nature's filters and should not be removed. Infected tonsils have long been known to be the cause of rheumatism and heart dis- case, and now it is definitely proven that they are the cause of much sto- mach trouble.

Whit- lock, sensing the mipending stag- nation of the ordinary means -of entertainment, has, with the aid of a silent projection machine, which has been in the school for the last six years, a second hand tone turn- able and two radios, assembled a device which is an effective substi- tute for tho more expensive appara- tus which runs into thousands of dollars, By attaching the tone turnable to the crankshaft of the machine, [* thereby synchronizing them, and utilizing a pick up arm, formerly used to direct phonograph music thr8ugh his radio for the reproduc tion of sound records, the equip- ment was complete, The two radios, connected as one, were placed at the sides and behind the screen at the auditor: fum_ of the school, and with ex- perimentation the records and sha- dows were synchronized with the effect of modern afparatus. News reels with disc sound re- production were first presented in the early stages of experimentation but later feature programmes were presented and Mr. Whitlock said that they compared favorably with the more expensive apparatus.
