Tresidder, representative, THURSDAY, APRIL 2nd, 1931 LET THE UNEMPLOYED DO IT The board of education, in deciding to call for prices on a power lawn mower, is over- looking a splendid opportunity of helping they unemployed of the city. If it is found the janitors of the various schools in :h@ city are unable to take care of the task off keeping the grass cut and trimmed by 'use of a hand lawn mower, there are hundreds of unemployed men in the city who "would be delighted to have the opportunity of doing such work, : In normal times, with no unemployment problem, it might be quite in order for the board to secure a power mower to take care of the grass, but these are not normal times, and the need of the unemployed for work is worthy of some con- sideration. The board of education is usual- ly on sane and safe ground in its decisions, but in this case, it is apparent that an op- portunity of helping the unemployed has «been overlooked. EARTHQUAKE DISASTER This has been a year, so far, of almost unprecedented earthquake disasters in the southern hemisphere of the world. A few weeks ago, the world was shocked by the terrible disasters in New Zealand, when whole communities were wiped out and hun- dreds of lives lost in tremors which changed the whole aspect of the area devastated. Now there has been another disaster, equal- ly as great, in central Amercia, in Nicaragua in which it is estimated that about one thousand lives have been lost, and a whole city wiped out, There is no explaining disasters of this kind, save by a process of scientific reason. ing. Scientists have their theories as to their _ causes, but to the average layman, they seem inexplicable. Contraction of the earth, . Sibtosranean disturbances resulting from i terrific heat in the bowels of the earth, have been blamed for them, But whatever the cause, the effects are disastrous, and evoke widespread sympathy for those who suffer from them. Fortunately, Canada is far removed from the earthquake zones, so far as serious trem- ors are concerned. It is only on very rare occasions that an earth tremor visits this country and on these rare occasions / the shocks are usually very slight. * _ In this respect, Canadians are living in a favored land, much more so than those who live in more southerly zones, which seems to have a monopoly on visitations of this char- acter. Yet, while Canadians are immune, "that does not detract from the measure of sympathy which goes out to the sufferers in other lands that are not so fortunate, for in time of stress and dihaster, all humans are kin to one another, THE WHEAT CONFERENCE The Hon. G. Howard Ferguson is taking his duties as Canadian High Commissioner to Great Britain quite seriously, and is not 'inclined to look on the position as a purely ental one. This is indicated by the ac- ve part he has taken, on behalf of Canada, at the world wheat conference in Rome, and particularly in his success in arranging tor a later conference of the wheat-exporting countries of the world, to be held in London, England, for the purpose of discussing the orderly marketing of surplus crops of wheat. This is a matter of vital importance to Canada and it is a feather in Mr. Ferguson's cap that he was able to persuade the other wheat-exporting nations to accept his sug- gestion of a conference of this character. Nations, as a rule, prefer to play a lone hand when dealing with the marketing of their surplus cts, but in this case there are international complications which make it - extremely desirable, for the benefit of all, that there should be some agreement as to haat marketing policies and methods. Can- will stand to benefit immeasurably from such an agreement, for it will help to define very clearly what position Canadian wheat can expect to occupy in the markets of the , Ferguson is to be congratulated, then, his success in bringing the other inter- ested delegates around to his way of think- is no small tribute that has been to him in being elected as chairman of conference to be held in London, CLIMBING TO PROSPERITY the late summer and early fall of 1929 , the country was rapidly sliding into the / ' depression. But its citi- and confident, looking for- continuance of boom pros- not know the depression had arrived. It required the dramatic crash in the stock market to make them realize it. Today the depression has run its course, but the average individual is just as slow to note the encouraging signs in the fundamen tals of our economic situation as he was to appreciate the previous decline, His caution is increased by the fact that the temporary interruption of the major down-trend last spring was mistaken in many quarters for real recovery. There will be no dramatic event to make us realize that better times are here again as there was to show us that bad times had come. No skyrocket stock market boom is likely--or desirable. But for some weeks past we have been moving toward higher levels of national prosperity. * Under the caption "We Are Climbing With Tears in Our Eyes," the Dry Goods Econom- ist urges a more cheerful psychology. An interesting chart accompanies the article which shows a steady rise ever since Novem- ber. Some lines of business activity may not have benefited by it as yet but they were among the last to feel the depression. It takes time for the improvement to be re- flected all through our business structrue, The important thing is that the conditions requisite for improvement have been fulfill- ed and the trend is definitely upwards. EDITORIAL NOTES Soon the steamer whistles will be blowing at the harbor, and the waterfront will be a husy place. Now the people of Oshawa need have no more worry as to who will pay the gas sys- tem deficits. The reduction in the electric rates for Oshawa has been deferred until the provin- cial commission completes its analysis of the local system. But it will be all the more welcome when it does come. The Canadian Legion deserves the sup- port and co-operation of every war veteran in Oshawa in its membership campaign. Spring may be here, but the old furnace is still eating up the coal. We wonder what kind of a race there will be to win the silk hat for the captain of the first ship to enter Oshawa harbor this sea- son. Whitby and Bowmanville are now nego- tiating with regard to gas franchises. May we hope that the vote in these towns is as successful as it was in Oshawa. Other Editors' Comment CENTENNIAL OF A PIONEER (New York Herald-Tribune) (A hundred years ago this month George Mor- timer Pullman was born.) The Pullman car has be- come the centre of a great American saga. The Pullman car anecdote has for more than a genera- tion been a reliable standby of masculine foregather- ings and of the burlesque stage. The horror of the descent from the upper berth and the depressing quality of the early morning washroom scene, char- acterized by groping soap blindness, a pageant of assorted underwear and a complete deficit of brushes and combs, is an integral part of the traveler's ex- perience, THE WHEAT CRISIS (New York Sun) (The Farm Board will buy no more wheat). It has long been apparent that nothing but an extra- ordinary and unpredictable curtailment in production or increase in demand could enable the Farm Board to escape from its adventure in the market without heavy loss of taxpayers' money. Conditions essential to the success of its gamble have failed to come to pass. In defense of its acts apologists argue that it succeeded in tiding the market over a period of acute depression. Before that can be written down to its credit it will be necessary to see whether the day of reckoning has been avoided or merely has been post- Phfied=and postponed with a heavier toll than ad- erence to sound practice would have imposed. BITS OF HUMOR Young Sub (to coquette) : "If you don't answer me one way or the other--yes or no--I'll hang myself at your garden gate." Coquette: "You mustn't do that, Father doesn't like young men hanging about the place!" "Tailors to Resist Cuts," says a headline, Oh, scissors | Gruby: "Is the fare plain at your boarding house?" Tubby: "Plain? It's almost invisible!" Young Husband: I can't stand this suspense any fonger, It will kill me. octor: Calm yourself, my dear sir. I've brought thousands of babies into the world and never lost a father yet--Punch, BITS OF VERSE DISAPPOINTMENT: HIS APPOINTMENT Disappointment: His appointment. Change one letter, then I see That the thwarting of my purpose Is God's better choice for me. His appointment must be blessing, Though it may come in disguise, For the end from the beginning Open to His vision lies, Disappointment: His appointment. Whose? The Lord's, who loves me best: Understands and knows me fully, Who my faith and love would test. For, like loving earthly parents, e rejoices when He knows That His child accepts unquestioned All "that from His wisdom flows, Disappointment: His appointment, Lord, 1 take it then as such, bise the clay in Hands of Potter, ielding wholly to Thy téuch, All my life's plan is Thy Moulding, Not one single choice be mine; Let me answer, unrepining: ie - "Father, not my will, bur Thine." by C.

Tuek, Opt, D, (Copyright, 1938) COLOR BLINDNESS Part Two To demonstrate the fact that the retina in its sensitivity recognizes color through its complimentary image being conveyed to the brain, may be proven if we fix for a few minutes on a colored object or a row of colored objects say red for ex- ample then we poi Fe transfer our gaze to a white surface. the after im- age of these objects will remain be- fore our eyes still but will appear green instead of red and after a few seconds will die away entirely. If we 'keep this in mind there will be different opportunities come to us all to demonstrate the truth in various wavs. It is by the recognition of absorb- tion and reflection of light, that we are enabled to interpret the different colors of objects, 1. E. An object that absorbs green and reflects red, while if it absorbs red it reflects the green it appears green. Red is con- sidered the most fatiguing ot' all col- ors to the eyc and green the least trying. There is more green in na- ture and perhaps this is the reason vision is accustomed to it down through the ages, It also appears quite certain that color perception can be developed and may also be lost.: The increasing number of shad- es and tints and their recognition marks the development and the lack of recognition, may be loss of per- ception of color, color ignorance or it may be a real defect known as color blindness.

SUMMER, WIDE- LY KNOWN NEWSPAPER MAN OF THE NORTHWEST, AND FOR MANY YEARS EDITOR OF THE TRIBUNE AT POCATELLO, IDA- HO, REFERS TO A SUGGESTION BUYING AT HOME OR COMMUN. ITY BUILDING IN THE FOLLOW- ING INTERVIEW: "It would seem something of a difficult matter to differentiate be- tween the three items. They are so interwoven and co-related that a geparation Is hardly feasible. Mani- festly it 1s the better part of judg- ment to buy at home on every oc- caslon, and by so doing the matter of community building will adjust itself. The two virtues should not stand alone, however, as probably the most effective factor in our modern trade life is advertising. The mere matter of buying at home should be actuated by other. motive than loyalty to community, which has its proper place. "In these days of keen competi. tion, chain systems and consolida- tions it is well demonstrated that tho process of advertising is the most effective inducement available, Even the plan of price-listing and cleverly devised advertising has un- dergone a wholesome revolution in the country press, to say nothing of the press of the urban centres, If an article is worth selling it {is worth displaying. A display of news. paper space is the most important part of the salesmanship. Window and billbpard display but accentu- ate the advertising system. Each within itself contributes to Nome buying and community building. While price is always to be consid- ered, the circumstance that a com- modity is cheap by no means indi- cates that it is worth anything. Quality and constant contact with the buying public count for a regu- lar turn-over. "In periods of depression like the present, the discreet concern will advance its business by systematic publicity and reciprocal trading rather than adopting any scheme of elimination affecting either angle of the community advancement trinity.
