Telephone Adelaide 0107, fi D, Tresidder, Tepresentativc, TUESDAY, JANUARY 27, 1931 A RECORD WORTH HAVING Oshawa has every reason to feel proud of the.report which was presented to the Police commission yesterday by Chief Owen Friend. It is not every city, in these days, 'that can produce a record of less crime than in the previous year. Still fewer are the cities which can produce a record which shows so amazing a freedom from serious grime as has been the case in Oshawa. A year ago, when the report for 1929 was pre- sented, it was considered excellent, and Osh- Awa was congratulated on it, because it * showed a decrease of 82.2 per cent in the number of offences as compared with 1928. Yet this year Chief Friend comes along and ~ reveals the fact that in 1930 the number of . offences was 48.99 per cent less than in 1929, in spite of the great improvement shown in This is convincing proof that the people of Oshawa are well-behaved people, that re- spect for the law and order are increasing in a very commendable way. The analysis of crimes by racial origin of the offenders is interesting, since it shows that of 946 offen- * ees charged, 533 of the persons charged were of Canadian birth, 119 were of English birth, 28 were Scots and 14 were Irish. Coming to the so-called foreigners' class it is found that inians were charged in 118 offences, Russians in 17, Poles in 17, Hungarians in 3 and a native of Czecho-Slovakia in one, ese figures tend to show that those who me from Cenral Europe are, after all, not chief offenders, but that, in proportion © their numbers, they are about as well-be- as any other section of the population, Eh is interesting to note that the greatest peduction in offences is that recorded under 'the heading of traffic violations. This means that the people of Oshawa are exercising more care in the observance of traffic laws and in the handling of motor vehicles. In- deed, it means that motorists generally, not only those from the city, are exercising more ~ care and caution and are more anxious. to observe those laws which are framed for their own protection and for the protection of others. The most pleasing feature, however, is ' the entire absence of robberies by violence and the great reduction of cases of theft. Crime reports from most cities during the last few months of depression have revealed in these departments, and it is al- most natural to expect sucha condition, In Oshawa, however, the opposite has been the experience, and this is greatly to the credit of the suffering unemployed of Oshawa, who have shown that they are able to keep their heads in times of adversity, and to refrain from acts of lawlessness to relieve their plight. It is a proud record, one which will bring the city to the fore as one in which : the laws of the community, the province and the country are being more and more res- , and one in which there is a growing ~ desire to live within the law in peace and quietness.

WHAT COMMUNISM MEANS Those who heard the stirring address of Miss Louiza Mayouwna, deaconess of the All People's Mission of Oshawa, at the Rotary Club, - yesterday must have been impressed The speaker knew her subject. She had seen it in operation among the suffering and oppres- sed peoples of Central Europe. She had seen its slaughters, and its horrors of hundreds of people thrown into a common grave. She had seen its starvations, its brutalizing of the people, and in impassioned accents she declared, "I hate Communism with all my heart, because I have seen what Communism means." That was cloquént testimony in favor of ruthlessly stamping out this menace to Cana- dian peace and law and order. It should be remembered that there are those in Canada even in Oshawa, who would substitute that kind of regime for the British laws and Bri- tish institutions which rule our fair land. There can be no half measures. Communism means exactly what Miss Mayouwna knows it to be, and what she described to be, and it is for the people of Canada to decide if they want that kind of thing in this country. One can go even further. The people of Oshawa have to decide if they want that kind of thing in Oshawa, for Miss Mayouwna 'declared that there is operating in. Oshawa a training school for young Communists, a school of Communists which is weaning young children away from the Christian Sunday Schools and training groups, and is preaching principles and tenets of Commun- ism, without revealing to them, of course, the true purport of what Communism means. This is a decided menace to the community and country. It is the kind of menace which should not be tolerated, and if the laws of the province or the Dominion do not permit that it should be put down with a ruthless hand, then these laws must be brought up to date, sor that there may never be, in this country any possibility of a Communist uprising that would produce here the conditions which were seen by. Miss Mayouwna in Central Europe and which she described so eloquent ly, and yet so terribly, to the Rotary Club. EDITORIAL NOTES Former Premier Ferguson is now on his way across the ocean, and he will not be fully missed until the next election campaign comes along. Premier Henry may take it as a tribute to himself that his political opponents are leav- ing him alone and concentrating their fire on the attorney-general. Premier Bennett is studying the problem of unemployment insurance. Much study will be required to devise a system that will overcome the faults of the plan now in ef- fect in Great Britain, Other Editors' Comment STABLIZING BUSINESS (Buffalo Courier-Express) Noteworthy as onc of the efforts which industry will make to stablize employment is the fact that when the General Tire and Rubber Company the other day declared an extra divident of 4 per cent to its stockholders it set apart a like sum to be used, when necessary, to 1romote employment through the financing of out-of-feason sales. This, it is stated, is believed to be the first action of this exact nature to be taken by any of the larger industrial coropra- tions. While the direct purpose of the allocation of this fund is for the stimulation of business at times when business needs stimulating, the success of that effort will be felt by employes as well as by employer, the former of whom are thus assured of employment in dull times and the latter of a continuation of business which may or may not produce profits. It is also part of the plan to make loans out of the fund thus creat- ed to employes who may have to be laid off when the effort to promote out-of-season sales fails to produced hoped-for results, BITS OF VERSE SONG AGAINST REGRET But I will sing songs of the morning Nor be loth to remember My lost April lark .

In the purspit of our daily business or profession it is a common error to neglect ourselv- es in many ways and give individual attention to business matters and leaving our physical welfare until some more convenient time, Due to this neglect special phases of preventive and hygenic measures are dealt with by certain organiza- tions whose functions it is to educate by preparation and distribution of ac curate information. 'The Red ross Society calls attention to hygenic and hygenic conditions generally, The industrial accident Prevention Associ- ation advises regarding accidents and safety, and the Eyesight Conserva- tion Council of Canada assists this general welfare movement by giving attention to the conservation of vi- sion, The gain derived from vision can be more particularly realized when we consider the loss, discom- fort, handicap, irritability, ill-health and inconvenience due to imperfect vision in its different stages. Imperfect vision is the cause of many discomforts and ills of human- ity, among which are the following: Large percentage of headaches. Great percentage of cross-cyes. Styles, inflamed and painful lids, Loss _of nerve energy, stomach trouble, Poor vision dulls the mind and handicaps the individual. TELLS EXPERIENCE URGES BUILDING * EUROPEAN TRADE Belgian Consul in New Zeai- and Advises Following Canada's Plan Auckland, N.Z., Jan, 27,--New Zealand should follow the example of Canada in building up European trade, according to Andre Nihotte, consul-generaf for Belgium in Wel- lington, wh recently returned from an extended tour of Europe. Mr. Nihotte reported that Cana- dian goods were to be found in many stores overseas, although New Zealand products were almost im- possible to obtain. In Brussels Mr. Nihotte found that Canadian cheese was favorably received and selling well. He found, too, that Canadian apples were iu strong demand in Belgium, where hotter: prices were to be had than iu England. "The reason is not hard to find," | said the consul-general. 'Canada has taken care to Luild up her Kur- opean trade. At the Antwerp ex- Pibition Canada had a large pavil- fon to advertise her industries and products; New Zealand had none. Then again, Canada. has a trade commissioner in Brussels, whp is doing excellent work." Mr. Nihotte went to the New Zea. land high commissioner's office and suggested that something should be done about developing continental demand for New Zealand's products but he was told that the high com- missioner had his hands full works ing on the British market." "We are a long way behind Can- ada in overseas trade exploitation," said Mr, Nihotte. "Canada is right after business everywhere. We are constantly loxing opportunities. There 18 nothing that I could sug- gest of greater advantage to New Zealand than to adopt the policies of Canada in trade extension." WOMEN ADVISED TO DELAY ACTION Quebec Feminists Not Help- ing Cause by Rushing it Montreal, jan. 27 -- Dealing with the attitude of the Quebec legislature towards the feminist movement in the Province the Gazette legislature cor- respondent says: "Feeling in well informed political circles here is that the decision of the feminists in persisting this session in bringing in bill to grant women the vote and to permit them to become members of the Bar is untortunate, and that the women are not helping their cause by Leing too persistent at present in these matters. "The House, as it is now constitu- ted, has rgpeatedly pronounced again- st both measures though, as far as allowing women to be lawyers is cpn- cerned, it is admitted that the cause has made considerable progress. Mrs, Pierre Casgrain, leader of the move- ment, showed rare skill in directing the movement, but it may be that when the matter comes up this ses- sion others will have been found to have done a little quiet work in the opposite direction. The gains which have been made have nog unduly al- armed the chiet' opponents (and it is well known that Premier "aschereau is one of these and has not changed his mind) but have made opponents realize that it would not be a bad idea to cease their passive attitude, It is not expected that men who have been voting for three sessions again st a measure will change their minds at the fourth session, and the persist- ence only places some favorable members in an embarrassing situa- tion and inclines them to the belief that the ladies would be better if they waited until there is a new Assembly in 1932, for there will be general el- ections this year, "It is also a matter of surprise in some quarters here that the women have neglected to accept the sugges tion made that after their defeat last year to go to the courts to have the watter settled. The situation has changed, it is pointed out, because of the fact that the I'rivy Council has ruled that women are persons, a de- cision which allowed a woman to be named to the Senage. "The council off the Bar of the province having pronounced itself as not being hostile to women being lawyers could hardly enter opposition before the courts." REMARKABLE BABY MAKING PROGRESS Weighed Ten : Ounces at Birth, Nearly Normal at Three Months Vancouver, B.C. child that weighed gnly ten ounces at birth has attained at three Months a weight of seven and one quarter pounds and medical men claim that in nearly every respect it is a normal baby. How the infant was kept alive for the first few weeks and how it gained almost two pounds a week ix regarded as one of the miracles of medical science. The baby is the smallest to survive birth in this city. It's salvation took almost the en- tire time of one of Vancouver's baby specialists and a nurse. Placed in its own specially equipped room in a baby incubator, with an even tem- perature of 90 degrees, it was fed every few minutes. Blood transfu- sions, sometimes from the doctor, sometimes from the nurse, were made to bring it to normal, for all the necessary organs are not func- tioning properly at this age. It was two weeks before the moth er knew her child had lived, for it was a case of almost resurrecting lite in this little mite. For ten days oxygen and carbon dioxide were given in order to maintain life. Finally cara was rewarded, and the baby showed signs of strength. The temperature of the incubator was lowered towards nor- Jan, 27.--A mal and eventually, three months from the time of its birth, the child was taken home.

OF WOMEN IN WAR Former Controller Pleads For Treating Women the Same as Men London.--Dame Helen Gwynno- Vaughan, who, was Chief Control- ler of the Queen Mary's Army Aux- {liary Corps, told of some of her ex- periences of war, wren she address- ed a meeting of the Association of Head Mistresses. Dame Helen sald that into their ranks came all sorts of girls-- typists, housemalids, shop assistants and gradudlly they were drafted out to France as a uniformed disciplin- ed body. Discipline did not always come easily. And fatigue duty was invoked, which in the end made the corps proud of its capabilities, "On one occasion the corps was operat- ing signals on a night when an enemy bombing raid was expected. A young officer who saw this was 80 impressed that he wrote to head- quarters suggesting that we should be mentioned in orders. Headquart- ers replied: "We do not thank sol- diers for doing their duty, and we do not propose to treat the women differently." "If only," added Dame Helen, "the authorities would always say, 'We do not propose to treat women differently,' what a pleasant world it would be." = BIBLE THOUGHT AND PRAYEL.
