'The physical health of the human body being responsible to 'a large degreo for the ments) conditions. ~All people are born healthy in mind and body. The Doctor wished to go on record as saying that mental deficiencies: are not hereditory. If given the proper training and care in the formative years there was no reason why that person should not go through life in health both mentally and physicals ly, - Home environment is a factor in the forntation of character which is u part of mental health, The character of the parents has p great deal to do with the formation of the childs mind, Children imitate thelr elders, so it follows that If the arents are drunken the child will oe drunken also in later life so we soe that it Is not a case! herédi- tory drunkenness. The child should be allowed to make some decisions for himself. If the parent makes all the decisions the child will be At ~ aloose end when the parent dies, and unable to make decisions for himself, Much mental 111 health {x due to physical 111 health so that the child should be kept in tho best of pose sible health in the years when Ne is growing. There should be a cer. tain amount of recreation in our lives to gounter-act. the ravages of work on the system, The emotional stresses which surge 'through the human body should be curbed as mugh as. possible as they take a framendous toll on the mental health of the human body, Worries and foars are the biggest factors in bringing about mental 1li-health, The person who keeps the castle enchantment hefore him and is al ways looking for things in the fut- ure, is the person who keeps young mentally and physically, ¥n conclusion Dr. Stevenson com. pared the human race to the mod. orn motor car, Some people are lke trucks; others like limousines, and still others like sport mode! roadstors with rumble seats, The human body Itke a car must be broken 1n carefully. No porson ever developed nervous condition combined with worry wrecks the. human machine. Like an automo. bile the human body should be gonred down in times of stress. A good motor fuel for the human ma- chine is happiness, The brakes of the human machine are sobriety and the habits we form. Reason Tale Travel The King's Highway Daily Coach Service OSHAWA AM.

W. McMillen, D.D,, Pro- fessor of Boclalogy in Victoria Col- lege, Toronto, spoke on the subject of "Industry and Society" at (he Social Welfare Conference on Wed. nesday evening, bog Thirty years ago towns and vil Inges were striving to secure indus. tries, Many of them falled but Oshawa was an example of one of those which had sycceeded, But the question that arises in most minds has been is the game worth the candle. Problems that were never thought of at that time have arisen such as. erime, vice, unems- ployment and housing. Even though success has brought its pro- blems the towns do not wish to return to the old order of 30 years ago, Montreal and Toronto, which comprise, between them, one sixth of the population of the Dominion of Canada; are not retrenching, On the other hand they are siriving for more and better industries, The power of man hak been in- creased one hundred fold by ma- chinery, steam and electricity, all of which have enabled him to con- tinue In hig march of progress, The elaborate systems of trade and commerce, which enable uw to have Oranges from California and coffee from Java, protects us in Ameren from the possibility of famine, The nations of the world have, by the recognition of race equality and the prevention of serious diseases, tak- en n big step in progress, Dr. McMillan quoted some very interesting figures which show, to what extent, the United Statés and Canada, are really prosperous, On the United States the per capita income of the citizens is $700 while in Canada it stands at $600, But the fact remains that 86 per cent of the residents of the U.S, arg poor. Nearly 10,000 in the United Staten have a yearly income of one million dollars, In Canada 122,000 neople pay income tax, 416 of these have an income of $50,000 a year, Unemployment is the sorriest problem of modern industry, the speaker continued, In Detroit $600,000 was spent in relief in De- comber last and $650,000 in Janu- ary, Whereas 450,000 workmen were employed a year ago there are only 300,000 employed now. The spanker quoted Senator Cousins who said that he found fault with the man who used his employees to create wealth for himself, Then having acquired it he casts aside his employees when it pleases him to find for themselves. Dr. Me- Millan stated that too much stress was being lald upon monetary sues cess and not enough stress was laid on the spiritual progress of the hu. man raee, Dr. McMillan compared the pres. ent day world of industry to a wateh with its intricate wheels, The watch neods the very heat of care to glve its beat, go with the world and Its Industries, Man is a part of the machine itself, We are not going to give up the machine, On the other hand we are going to apply our purpose and determina tion to improve this -problematie machine-~the world, NAVAL PARITY TO AID PEACE (Continued from Page 1) aerial attack and the coast of France was so protected 'by sub. marines that attack would ha most dicult, With naval parity with Bri. tain, France would be a potenial menace to the island kingdom by alr and sea, ' Wars Not Inevitable Dr, Wrong refused to belleve wars were inevitable. "It is for our wisdom, or unwisdom," he said, "to determine what will happen," Rivalry in trade did not need to involve' nations .in war for each nation had such rivalry within its own borders and the healthy prin. ciples which applied to domestic rivalry should apply also to the international sphere, The speaker found parity with the United States would help peace and work for more trustful rela Hons. The tone adopted in the United States, generally, in regard to Great Britain had improved groatly within the last few years and frank admission of parity had cleared the air, Canada's War Position In the remote case of war with the United States, Profesor Wrong pointed out naval parity meant that the seaports of Canada, hither. tp protected. by Britain in other wars, would be at the mercy of tae United States fleet and Canada's soa-going commerce could be ends od by Her southern neighbor almost in a second, Canada mght be offer- ed the role of neutralty but she would be helpless, in any caso, against a nation with 12 times her pobulation, and Britain would pro. ably be relieved to seen Canada neutral for she could not help her, "But," warned Professor Wrong, "Canada has no constitutional pows or'to declare meutrality, It is the King, the head of our government, as he is head of Great Britain's government, who declares war or makes peace and when Me declars os war, we, not lott than Britain, are at war," Dn Wrong was convinced, hows ever, that the minds of the nations were now far from war for the ss tent. of the ruin involved in war wag realized.
